I can watch late night TV for hours and get pitched every last piece of plastic junk that is guaranteed to make me look 18 again.

You can just staple-gun some rubber or plastic sheeting (kind of like shelf-liner) and upturn the edges for some drip catching.Or, you can "tile" under the counter with the peel-and-stick adhesive tiles.

HD sells a plastic discharge pipe that's threaded on one end for $3.

If doing new construction and flooring is going to be replaced I plastic over windows and call someone to spray it.

As dry as it is there, you should be able to put a 6 mil plastic moisture barrier down, overlap and tape the seams, This will block ground moisture from getting to most of the wood.A french drain and sump pump are required when water comes in and has to be channeled and pumped out on occasion.

So far for Energy efficiency this year:Blocked the fireplace mostly - not perfect for sure.Put that plastic they sell to go over the windowsCaulked one window that was leaking pretty badly.Put insulation in one of my attic access areas.Only thing left on my list is one more attic access area.Hoping I can write some of this off using US 2014 energy tax incentives.  

I had a basement that would flood, so we dug down a foot around the house 10 ft out where most was coming from, installed some 6mm plastic and back-filled with a nice grade away from the house and haven't had a problem since.  2 guys digging for 6 hours.  

(check comps, expectations for area first, i'm up north snow area....)bathrooms, get rid of anything gold. chrome/brushed steel/nickel... maybe modern but you want serene/calm/spa. choose paint color wise.kitchen: there seems to be a mix of black can painted plastic and metal pulls. how are the cabinets?

A large recycle bin for glass and a large recycle bin for paper/plastic/metal are also included with that price.

This happens because renovators need such a wide complement that a lot of tools simply don't get properly stowed when they're not in use.In closing, I would recommend a large handtool toolkit all in a plastic injection-molded case for use on maintenance call, and a bag you take with you with the other high-use tools you'll almost always need that never come in those kits (scraper, pry-bar, margin trowel, channel locks, your electrical testing kit in a padded pouch, your safety glasses in a case.
