Question by Sega’s Mom: Where would I look to find the history of a piece of property, home and/or land? We just purchased a piece of property and would like to find out if there is any “history” behind the house and/or land. The home is a beautiful victorian 2-story house in an older part of town. Just wondering Best answer: Answer by Tracy SFirst thing is to search tax records of the property which usually starts at when the house was built,type,footage,taxes per year,add ones,etc. then move on to your library. What do you think? Answer below! Even for the MEGA MOVERS, some jobs are out of the ordinary.

Question by janis: What would be the best photography business for me? I just graduated in Fine Arts – Studio Photography – I did plan on obtaining a masters in art administration; however, I had a baby in my last semester and that plan vanished. I figure my only option with a new baby and three other children is to start my own business. The problem is since I studied as a Fine Art student my knowledge in digital is very limited. I always had a point and shoot digital and I received a SLR digital a few months ago. My knowledge is growing everyday but I also need to learn color because I’m use to black and white film. My current (very simple) plan is the following: (Background knowledge: I do live in a enriched art community – I do not have a lot of money –...

Question by Steve Jones: Would you make more money selling a house with a big yard or a house and two extra lots? My house sits on a large parcel of land. Technically, it is three parcels. The house is centered in the middle of one parcel with a large side yard and large back yard. If I were to sell my home would I make more selling a house and two lots or selling it all together? I think we should split it up but my wife says we won’t be able to sell the house as easily if the lots next to it are for sale and/or sold with construction started. We live in a neighborhood with mainly Victorian style homes. Any building be done on these lots I want to sell would have to get approved by the historic society. Best answer: Answer by annazzz1966I agree with your wife. The house is more attractive...

I am taking a painting job for a 3 bedroom mid terrace Victorian house, including skirting boards, railings, and a few cupboards etc. Would it be possible to get the work done in two weeks/14 days?

Question by lastcaress21: Would a carpeted or hardwood staircase be more preferable? Currently my stairs are carpeted, but the cat has ruined the carpet, not to mention someone managed to have spilt bleach on the top landing of the hall. I’ve lifted the carpet in a few spots and it appears that the stairs are hardwood (the house is an old victorian). Would wooden refinished stairs be better than fully carpeted stairs or a combination of wood with a carpet runner be better? The problem I see with hardwood is that it would be more slippery and the carpet would be much quieter, but hardwood stairs are elegant looking. Best answer: Answer by Kimberly RWe have hardwood stairs and while they look nice, they are slippery. We have small children so the slippery part is a downside. The kids...

Question by Maggie: How much would it cost to fix a porch? We bought an old victorian, it has a bottom porch and a top porch. The top porch is all rotted out, and we were going to replace it with tax money. We want someone to tear down the old porch, haul it away, and put up the frame, and “bones” to the new porch, we can lay the actual floor down.

What Would You Require When Making Stained Glass Patterns? Most people associate stained glass with the artistically decorated church windows that have been part of religious architecture for centuries now; however, presently, stained glass is also included in the design of art objects we purchase in order to decorate our houses. In terms of structure, stained glass consists of small pieces of colored glass arranged according to certain models so that exquisite representations are achieved. Stained glass patterns are put together by strips of metal or some other rigid material, which is supported by a fixed frame or structure. The term of stained glass is also used to define painted windows with the glass passed through fire. Both art and great skill are required for the creation of a...
