Mr Yankee asked:


I am having my home appraised Thursday. Other than tidying the place up is there anything I can do to help elevate the appraisal? Does an appraiser physically check the house like a home inspector? Do they verify that all appliances are working? Are they climbing on the roof etc? Thanks

Marie R asked:


Are there any comments about breaking a contract with a home improvement company after the 3 days they give you to consider? Reason is my financial situation has irreparably changed. They say I can’t cancel, but I don’t see penalties. I appreciate your help. Thanks
Thank you for your comment. They indicate that I HAVE TO proceed because the items were custom measured.

Do I have to? Actually, I cannot! So I don’t know what they will do.

Will Venitian Plaster cover damaged/peeling drywall?

Monday, September 29th, 2008
AJ W asked:


We just pulled tongue & groove cedar, that was glued to painted drywall, off and the walls are damaged where the glue was. There is a lot to repair, lots of spots with paint & texture gone, some spots where drywall is showing, Paper is peeling. Do I have to fill each damaged spot with some kind of filler before I use venetian plaster? Or can I just fill these spots with the venetian plaster?

curious asked:


My friend has a 13 yrs old son and he is very Intelligent and very talent, but lately he has been acting out disrespectful and defiant.
His room is decorated in nothing but black, he talks back to adults including to his mother, he is also jealous hearted(his mom) is jealous hearted. He always make girls angry younger girls than he. Yesterday he did something to to cause major plumbing problem in their apartment and the water flooded part of the neighbors down stars room. His mom is a good person but has her own issues, she often put her two kids on a Pedestal and said that her kids are more mature than any other child at my job. Everyone know that this not true. She takes care of him disciplines him and everything but he is out of control. All I could do is pray for her son.

lem. Which of these two remedies do you think will solve the problem?
After all, if sacrificing Jesus can roll back our sins, shouldn’t two goats be able to fix an airplane?

parabelz asked:


Okay so I looking for a new place and found one (yipee!!)

But…

I need to find out as much about this place as possible…it’s a condo.

I’ve tried Apartment Ratings (website), and found nothing…tried, “Googling” the name of the condo….nothing negative….

I’ve already checked out the community, and it’s extremely affluent, but I’ve lived in affluent DUMPS bbefore too…and don’t intend to do it again if I can help it.

I’m in Georgia by the way…please help…I don’t want wake up to strange critters in bed with me (ants, roaches, rats, mice, etc.), plumbing issues, etc.

It is an older building (built in the 50’s), with a large elderly community and appears that they keep it up well…but it is OLD. The condo itself is nice looking….

C’mon peeps…help me out if you can…do you know of any sites I can go to and check out this place?

Thank you!!
Expert Realitor…

I love you, I really do….I just don’t understand why I keep coming across people in your profession who are so HELL BENT on being CURT and RUDE when giving their, “expertise”

I DID go and see the place my dear…this weekend, and I’m very big on checking out a place before moving in….which is precisely WHY I’m making inquiries….I’ve been looking and researching since AUGUST knowing that my lease was up in October…if that ain’t planning, I don’t know what is….

….as you should know (and I know you do)….looks can be deceiving…..some of the most upscale communities have the greatest issues…and it starts with the management who oddly enough, have the same (smart alleck) attitude that you do.

I do however want to take this time and thank all others for their advice…I really appreciate it.
