What should I consider when I drill a well?

• <div><p>When considering the price of drilling a well, factor in how much you’ll save in water costs per year. The average family of four uses <b>100 gallons</b> of water per person per day in the U.S. With a private water well, you can save hundreds each year.</p><p>Wells are also environmentally friendly. You don’t need to worry about drinking water treated with chemicals. Talk to at least three well pump contractors in your area. They’ll be able to tell you more about your options, give you different quotes, and discuss the biggest concerns.</p></div>

Q: Is reading blueprints hard?

• <div><p>With proper training and experience, reading blueprints is fairly straightforward and not very difficult. If you don&rsquo;t have the necessary knowledge to interpret the symbols, abbreviations, and other notations used, blueprints may not make sense. Learning to read blueprints can help you understand the construction process and keep you more involved and informed when you&rsquo;re building a house.</p></div>

Q: How do you tell if a tree is a historic landmark?

• <div><p>This is fairly rare, but sometimes the local government or a group like a historical society will label a tree as a landmark, or historical item. These designations almost always come with a small, on-site plaque for identification, but you should also be able to look up protected trees in your area on a city website or similar list. If the tree in question is a landmark, call your local government and ask how to proceed before making any plans.</p></div>

Q: How long is a land survey good for?

• <div><p>Land surveys don&rsquo;t technically expire. They do serve as a point of reference and a snapshot of your property, though, so as soon as you make changes to your property (and even if your neighbor makes certain changes to theirs), your existing land survey becomes inaccurate, and a new one must be done. Even if you don&rsquo;t make any changes to your property, many states only guarantee the accuracy of a land survey for five to ten years.</p></div>

Q: Can surveyors help with floodplain identifications?

• <div><p>Yes, they assess topography and potential risks related to flooding.</p></div>

At the estimate, Tony arrived on time, surveyed the property, made good recommendations for the number and location of cameras and gave us an estimate. We already had an excellent recommendation for his services and had one other estimate, which was twice the cost, so we went with Tony. Tony...

The survey was done weeks behind schedule. I had to keep calling to see when they do the survey. I never saw the stakes in the ground.
