At least, you will probably be required to seal around the pipe fairly well.If you have to put a door in the fire-rated wall, it needs to be a fire-rated door - usually either solid wood or metal.

Next I found a metal box with a dead wire in it, also covered with that lovely silver stickiness.

Shawn Ackerman keep the pedal to the metal, usually when your feeling exhausted is when your almost there.

This reminds me of a house I sold a few years ago and the sellers could not get a metal bed frame out of the second floor bedroom. 

The way to test it is to hold onto any metallic part of the unit whilst it's in operation and touch something else, like the sink, fridge, cooker, etc.

@Matt F. even if you just sat on it there are still some costs (taxes, insurance-maybe) and right now scrap metal prices are so low (add to it that new plumbing is less copper and more PVC & pex) breaking in might not be worth it.Then there is the question of how long to sit on it as there is no guarantee that a supposedly up and coming area will come up to the point where fixing up is profitable.
