In the meantime, I bought a $10 plastic bathroom faucet at Menards, and installed it in the kitchen sink, so I could at least have water. 

If you were to install check valve on your sewage line (to prevent back up from the street) would you go with plastic one or more expensive cast iron one ?

Temporarily wrap the crown with plastic material to prevent water leaking because It's cold now so crown rebuild can not be done until weather is right/warm enough4. 

What isn't made out of paper thin paneling is plastic, including most of your plumbing, not pex, just plastic. 

The plastic handles would strip from the shutoff cylinders as the corrosion was excessive & the water dripped constantly, those high water bills would eventually pay for a new bathroom.

There are many building materials that can be recycled, including metal, plastic, and glass.

They are living in home now without too many gripes, but cosmetic damages from foundation have opened up cracks to outside (light/air coming through home that they have plugged with plastic bags).- Repairs for flip estimated at $37-$44k (foundation, cosmetic, flooring, windows, doors, bathrooms/kitchen, etc.).

I suppose you would have to transfer clothes from luggage to plastic bags before entering the hotel.

Make sure you use the ones with the round plastic washer on the end.

I've bought from Plastic Jungle, but lately someone has been buying up all the Lowe's cards.
