My name is Heather and I am looking into REI to help people have environmentally safe places to live.From 2007-2011, my family lived in a home with hidden toxic mold in the walls.

You will need to have drawings done for your plans in order to get permits if you are moving walls and opening the roof.You are going to need an architect.

I just want these walls covered, and I do not care about appearance.

I know laws vary by location.About 4 months ago, we had a bad rainstorm and water seeped into the bathroom through foundation due to poor drainage near the outside wall.

Pictures helpful too.The problem is walls on either side cannot be changed.

I'm comfortable with the glass-doored wall boxes used in hallways for mounting fire extinguishers in common areas; but I'm not sure how to put these within units without looking horrible.

In this business there is no degree required to get funding, besides the degree would probably become a nice wall ornament in your home office.

Well after we bought it and begun the rehab we found that the original $500,000.00 in upgrade we had planned to spent , soon grew to $1.8M because we got in and found there was alot hiding behind the walls and under the flooring.

Luckily, I haven't received that many; I think the strangest one so far was from a tenant who asked if she could paint the walls in the basement BLACK.

For example:My foot hurts > Stubbed my toe > Poorly positioned barcalounger > I put the chair there > The outlet for my TV is too close to the wall, putting my chair in an awkward position > My house is old and wasn't built with widescreen TV's in mind > Widescreen TVs weren't invented earlier > The Devil.See?
