The problem is Home Depot doesn't discount for water heaters, roofing materials, paint, carpet, or copper plumbing just because you bought a cheap, small house that produces little rent.I personally don't look at houses that won't rent for at least $1,000/month.

It is truly unfortunate that we live in a society where we are often judged on our material possessions rather than our ability to fulfill our professional obligations.

Vinyl is a superior material, just make sure you like the color you pick.  

Problem is there is a lot of different material.

I was very hard and anal about the materials i wanted itemized and written in black and white to give me a close number to reno budget and I think I may have given the contractor a hissy fit in the process but I guess its normal to do those things in reading this post.

I taught finance and I can tell you that what I (or any teacher) will be looking for are the practical applications of the course material.  

That includes shut off valves and shower valves and all other materials and labor.

You've got several things happening here, none of which I would touch without a lawyer's advice.If the Seller knowingly withheld non-obvious information material to the property (possible pending litigation), I don't see how the Seller could not be held responsible if this goes south on you.Second, service animals have certain protections.

When the next week started I waiting anxiously for all my materials.

Here, the Amish will take a house for the materials, they will clean the lot off cleaner than vulture cleans road kill.You might be in the salvage business.Good luck!
