Usually a general contractor is required and if there are structural pieces of your project then you will want to consult an engineer.

**Especially the authors of this well-researched piece of _*T%#^^&*(.

Remove that wooden 'window' that looks like 2x6 in the dark brown or at least remove the vertical piece on the left and paint the rest white. 

This is the last piece of land still in our family's name so I most likely wouldn't sell but my mom may see it different.

In general a Note and DofT provides more protection for you, a REC more protection (won't have to foreclose) for the seller.The LLC is a different piece. 

For example, when installing step flashing at the juncture of a second story wall and a first story roof, the flashing starts at the bottom and each subsequent piece is installed further up the roof.

One piece of advice is stay until the end.

I have one property that has pieces of KnT wiring in the hard-to-access areas.

Many of these bills are just marketing pieces used to let the base know “we hear you” .... i am fairly sure the most basic idea of property rights wont be erased without a fight.
