I wrap the roller/brush I use in an old bag and store it in the freezer between coats so it doesn't dry out and I can keep using it again until I'm through with the process.If you rent the sander pick up a ton of the grit paper. 

Sorry to hear this, however,  it's very common for them to go up if there hasn't been a recent sale and your county/city office doesn't do regular assessments/updates.

Check with your local tile stores.
