Sam ShuehPS: I think US plastic money is not well accepted because there is more CC fraud and harder for vendors to process.

And due to the vapor barrier, (a huge plastic sheet) all the little (and not so little ) poopies stayed nice moist and fresh!

We just bought a dishwasher that still has the plastic on it- it would have been over $800 at Home Depot/Lowe's but we paid $125.

I can't tell you that it lasts longer (it might), but in many cases it will save you time on labor, because it installs faster.One of my first properties ten years ago my contractor installed cheap shut off valves; I remember he pointed out the savings, becaue we had a total of 6 and the steel valves were like $10 extra each over the plastic.

The sill is made so they can't set items on it and the window trim is plastic.

I think these websites also sell the corregated plastic signs with the stands for much much less.

My 5 y.o. plays in a 50 gallon "Little Tykes" plastic pool that's about 6" deep when filled.

There were batteries installed in them, but they were just against plastic, there is no connection to the battery.

It is one of the large plastic ones that slide down over a 4 x 4 cemented in the ground.

For this reason, in baths and kitchens, I'll usually use the composite plastic base moulding since it's waterproof.
