I’m trying to avoid bad work at a costly consequence in the future. Please no contractors with bids I am just looking for guidence. Thank you in advance.

We are looking at buying a house and renovating it, and were wondering about using solar or wind power to power much of our house. We will have a well, be on a septic system, have a wood burning furnace for heating the house, so we would like to have solar or wind power so we can use as little electricity as possible (its insanely expensive here!). We also have our appliances (fridge, stove, washer, dryer, freezer).
How much would a basic set up be for a 900 sq ft, 3 bedroom house? For either wind turbines or solar panels and necessary equipment? I am in Southern Ontario.

Thanks!

I’m about to list my house. I want to make some renovations so I can get the best sale price. What are buyers looking for? I’m pretty sure I want to put in new cabinets and tile in the kitchen.

I want to make solar power at home but dont want to spend a fortune. I just want enough solar power to power a few household items.

I have a patio at the back of my house with a tv, juke box and a few other things. I just want to be able to power this stuff. Can I make a solar power generater at home to power this?

AspSmartie14 asked:


I am very concerned about global warming, and when I grow up (I’m only fourteen) I plan on using solar power to power my home (and I hope that when I grow up it’s customary). How efficient is solar power? How many square feet would it take to power a 2,000 square foot home? How much would it cost?

drkestlight asked:


Are sellers are required to disclose certain types of information about the homes they are selling. During a renovation we removed the new floor that the seller had put down before he sold us the home. Underneath was extensive fire damage to the sub floor & beams both in the living room and kitchen. If this information was told to us we would have not purchased the property.

What can be done about this? Legally the seller should have said something? Reality agent have a responsibility?

Sarah M asked:


We have a unique 50 year old house that was built without a front door. We’d like to put a door in, and it’ll probably have to go in the kitchen (but where?), the kitchen is too small as it currently is, so we’re going to move the first floor bathroom somewhere else (but where?). We need help figuring out what our final floorplan should be, and how to do these reno’s in stages while still maintaining some order in a 5 family household.

Does anybody know where I might find (free) help in coming up with a new layout? Perhaps some school of designing genius’s that do this kind of thing as a learning exercise??? (I’m hoping).

We’ll be doing most of the actual work ourselves (we have friends and family that are carpenters and brick layers), so it’s not like we can get design help included as part of a renovation contract.

anns2007 asked:


We changed carpeting for the entire home last year (2007) – about 1400 sqft. Does IRS consider this a major renovation or repair? I am considering taking a deduction on the sales tax paid in my itemization – for ‘Major Renovations or Repairs’.

Thanks
Sai
