We have serious IRS problems and more to come. Can the IRS take our home we are remodeling? Can we put it in our names and it still be safe?

After 20 Years of working 9-5 my brother decided to go into business for himself. As a side job he renovated homes. Now he has made this his full-time career. His Speciality is remodling kitchens and basements, but he does it all. Electrical, Plumbing, Roofing, Drywall, Painting, Flooring. No job is too big or small. Right now he is working on a basement in which the people are paying over 50,000. Most of his Business is residental and he stays busy from word of mouth but our family would like to help him with advertising. Business Cards/Website etc… We dont have a clue- but we want something snappy- His Name is Paul Dilly. I would love feedback from the Yahoo users just think your answer may very well be the beginning to something huge. Thanks for your help.

I am planning to renovate my kitchen. I am going to change the countertops and the cabinets. How much would this cost me (estimate)? And do you know of any companies that do a good job with kitchen renovations and are reasonably priced in Michigan? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

I don’t believe in God any more because of a tragic motor scooter and gun accident that blew off my left foot and three fingers. I often wonder that if I saw Bozo ***** would I think that chocolate milk cannot be sold in stores in a plastic container, or could it? That is a very deep and philosophical question that many great people like Coach Ditka and Jesus could not answer when they went before a grand jury for illegal dancing in Utah. Just because Van Halen does not play at your grammar school dance doesn’t mean that you have missed out in life or did something wrong. You have to move past those issues and begin to address the fact that Men are from Mars and Women are from Saturn. I once fed a dead rat to a blind man in a tossed salad and he was not happy with the dressing I picked for him. Do you ever reflect on the meaning of extra large shrimp or why plumbers don’t lay plumbs when bricklayers lay bricks? Dance freely and don’t forget to wear sunscreen when you go to the b

I lived in my apartment since October of 1998 and recently moved out at the end of July. I signed a lease once; during the time that I lived there I’ve painted and repaired plumbing issues etc. Also, I’ve had a few minor damages…I burned a hole in the laminate countertop w/ a candle, broke a ceiling, and there were a few discolorations on the carpet and I’ve accepted that I won’t get my $500 deposit together but I think he wants me to pay extra. Do you think I’m obligated to pay more? During the time I lived there not once was I late on the rent, I cut the grass, cleaned the porch, and did all kinds of other stuff and was never compensated. Is that fair for him to request more money from me.
But what part accounts for normal wear and tear after all those years. The carpet wasn’t brand new when I moved in and there were only a few stains on it. It doesn’t say in my lease that I was responsible for upkeeping the yard at all and/or to paint, fix plumbing or anything of the like, renting isn’t my obligation to fix plumbing and/or yard upkeep….its an apartment and he raised my rent w/o a 30 days notice and I’ve never had a problem with that.

We are remodeling our home and are hoping to sell it in a few months. We are hoping to find a site (or a few) that we can check out what colors are hot right now and get a bunch of ideas for different rooms. Any suggestions?

Chicago’s 1st Lady asked:


I want to get my earnest money back, and I want ALL OF IT !! I made an offer on a house with the intentions of living in it not rehabbing it. The offer was accepted, and we had the home inspected. There are a lot of things wrong with the house. It costs more money to repair these things than I can afford, and besides I’d rather buy something worth the money I would have to spend, rrather than put money into the house for major things. The house needs new windows, tuckpointing all around and a new roof. Here is a letter I wrote to the seller, tell me what u think. HELP !!!!

All these problems need to be remedied before this transaction can go any further. If the issues are not addressed we will continue on our search for a home.

FURNACE

The furnace/central air needs to be properly and completely installed and functioning. The furnace needs a shut off valve, and a plastic exhaust pipe. Debris in the “clean out” area at the base of the chimney should be removed as part of system service.

PLUMBING

The old steel piping is subject to corrosion on the interior of the pipe. As corrosion builds up, the inside diameter of the pipe becomes constricted, resulting in a loss of water pressure. This piping is typically replaced when the loss of pressure can no longer be tolerated.

ELECTRICAL

Extension cords should not be used as permanent wiring. This wiring should be removed through out the house. Poor connections between newer wiring and the old-knob-and-tube wiring were observed. All connections of this type should be performed within junction boxes, fitted with cover plates.

The installation of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is required in the kitchen and bathroom. GFCI offers increased protection from shock or electrocution.

STRUCTURE

Evidence of termite damage was observed and there is risk of additional hidden damage since termites can do a substantial amount of damage. If the property hasn’t already been treated, a licensed pest control specialist should be engaged to eliminate further termite activity within the home. All damaged wood should be repaired or replaced.

ROOFING

The downspout should discharge water at least 5 feet from the house. Storm water should be encouraged to flow away from the building at the point of discharged. Install downspout at left rear section of house.

Stairs leading to basement need hand rails. Drop ceiling in same area needs to be repaired.

The fireplace needs a damper.

All appliances must stay.
