If there are holes in the wall, but all of the debris is cleared up; it is still livable and you can put plastic over the holes in the wall.

The old buckets are recycled for their material whether plastic or metal.I forget the name of the company but they had a show on Discovery on "Dirty Jobs"http://www.cecildaily.com/business/article_c8d930a2-367b-11e1-b4a6-001871e3ce6c.html?

This is simple and straightforward to do with plastic.

I tried to start my real estate investing business for 18+ years by attending "Free" workshops help by the "guru's" and bought and bought and bought to the tune of 6 plastic tubs full of outdated material.  

Personally, I'd rather smell weed than fried fish but honestly part of living in a multi-family shared space is shared smells.

I usually buy duplexs..about 75% of the exhaust hoods are not hooked up correctly...the biggest problem I find is that piece of sheet metal in them that allows the air to go up the vent pipe has not been removed, that the plastic piece in the front to prevent the air from going into the kitchen is not installed, or the vent pipe in the attic is not connected to the outside.... 

@Larry Fried @Travis LimbockerMy apologies.  

Eventually, they let her go into the house to use the restroom and the reason she was holding her leg was because she slipped the 8 ounces of cocaine into her pants and the plastic baggies were sliding down her leg.I finally divorced her, got re-married, been married for 23 years and never had an argument with the exception of maybe 2 or 3 very tiny issues so small I can't tell you what they were about.

Why not just put down some plastic poly sheets up there?

I have the same problem, my PASA does not do anything that would help me a lot, just because he has bigger fish to fry, I would probably contact Derek if he could work on all states.
