Hey, I'm Lance! I became a professional online portrait artist in 2006 after my family was taken from me in a tornado losing my mother, father, brother, and son. Twenty-eight lives were taken as well as all their possessions, like mine. I drew from destroyed photos their families so they could have memorial portraits of them at the funerals and for the rest of time. Since then I have made a living traveling the country doing shows and drawing from photos you email me on line. There is NO GIFT more unique that brings more tears of joy to a loved one's eyes like one of these. Nothing. I've seen it time and time again. I make it affordable to anyone who's ever wanted one of these. Paintings with half the detail of these can cost upwards of $30,000 limiting something like this from hanging in living rooms for families to the rich only. Not anymore. Here's how it works.. Simply email me your favorite picture or pictures to [email protected] with a brief description of what you would like done. The bigger and clearer the picture the better the drawing. I will start an initial sketch right away and take pictures of it and show it to you. Please email them quickly if possible, because the holidays are coming and I get busy. Once the initial sketch is done. I usually take something down on it. It's a lot of work doing the initial sketch. This varies on the cost of the drawing which we will discuss right away. Drawings are usually 175 for 9x12's 225 for 11x14's 275 for 14x17's After this process is done I continue with your art piece sending you photos on line all the way through which many people find a lot of fun. I am also friends on Facebook with almost every person I've ever drawn for as well and would like to be your friend as well if you would like that. I post them on FB at your discretion. It makes me way more legit to people as well. The Prices vary with the art because of the size of the drawing as well as the number of faces. The number of faces DOES NOT double the cost. Usually an extra face is added depending on the size from anywhere between 25 and 50, but I do deals on these more than anything, so please call me about it at .(850) 691-3976

Owning a home has its challenges and dealing with emergency repairs or the need to replace a system can be overwhelming and frustrating. That’s where HomeServe USA comes in.

"0 stars! Homeserve is a scam. We had our main sewer line back sewage up into our basement due to a tree root intrusion. The techs they sent out from Down Home Plumbing to repair the blockage ran an auger through the line and then told us they didn't hit any major resistance and the issue was resolved. They did not camera the line to source the blockage or to make sure they had cleared the blockage because Homeserve does not authorize them to do so. Not to mention the techs arrived 3.5 hours past their estimated appointment window and one of them spent the entire time on his cell phone while his (possibly barely 18 year old) partner did the work. Water began backing up in our main again immediately as the auger had done nothing but temporarily push the roots aside. So we called Homeserve again and told them this time that cameraing had to be approved so the issue could be fully resolved. The first company they requested to come out was unavailable so they sent the job back to Down Home Plumbing. Down Home Plumbing confirmed the appointment with Homeserve and I received a text and email confirmation they would be on site the next day. But when I called the next day to confirm the arrival window they could not find the appointment/repair information without calling Homeserve. And once they did find it, the tech and his manager called more than once attempting to reschedule it for 1-2 days later because they were busy and didn't feel sewage backing up into my basement was an emergency. After several heated conversations and multiple calls from myself to Homeserve, a tech did show up. He called Homeserve again before doing anything to make sure the cameraing was authorized and then proceeded to camera the line. He found a massive tree root intrusion and informed us the line would need to be dug up and at least a portion of it replaced. He let us know he would contact Homeserve with this info and they would be in touch ASAP. Two days later we had heard nothing, so I called Homeserve to be told Down Home Plumbing had never sent them the information. They assured me they would follow up with Down Home Plumbing and send the repair request for approval. Another 24 hours later, I got a call from Homeserve saying we needed to remove the tree that had caused the root intrusion. I informed them it would be down that day. They then asked if we would like to add a cleanout to the main line at the street at an out of pocket cost of $830. I told them no. They said that was fine and Down Home Plumbing would be in touch to schedule the repair. After I didn't hear from Down Home Plumbing for another 48 hours, I called them and was informed that they had told Homeserve the installation of the cleanout was mandatory by code and they could not schedule the work. Homeserve got it wrong! Had I not called Down Home Plumbing, no one would have called me. Mind you my sewer line has backed up for 2+ weeks at this point already! When I called Homeserve they refused to take any responsibility for their miscommunication and doubled down that the cleanout installation would have to be done out of my pocket because it isn't covered under their policy. I informed them that their policy states they exclude "Any replacement, correction, upgrade, or move of Your existing System in order to meet any code, law, regulation, ordinance, or utility directive, if not directly related to the necessary Covered Repair." But when you're replacing my main sewer line, putting a cleanout on it IS "directly related to the necessary covered repair." After half an hour of asking for a manager, a manager named Alisha tried to tell me the repair wouldn't work without the cleanout and then hung up on me. If that were even remotely true, that would also make it "directly related to the necessary covered repair." These people can't even read their own policy. Meanwhile, the work still isn't getting done! Avoid Homeserve like the plague. They are slow, stupid, and overpriced for the nothing they provide. And they use the worst (read cheapest) possible installers who could care less about customer service or quality workmanship."

Home Staging questions, answered by experts

Home staging costs range from $500 for basic consultations to $5,000 or more for full-home staging, depending on home size and furnishings.

In most cases, staging a home is expensive but worth every penny. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 81% of agents representing buyers stated that staging made a positive impact on the buyer’s perception of the house and made it easier to visualize it as a home. The value of your home—which is to say the amount buyers are willing to spend—is based on perception alone and not the inherent value of the land or structure. Therefore, improving the appeal of your home through staging is likely to make your home more enticing during a home sale.

Yes, many professional stagers offer rental options for high-quality furnishings during the selling process.

Staging helps homes sell faster and often at higher prices by creating an inviting, well-designed space.

Every market is different, but the general consensus is that since a fireplace is a sought-after item in many homes, the removal of such a feature can negatively impact the value of your home. Therefore, if you plan on selling your house soon, don’t remove it. If you plan on living in your home for a long time, the removal of a fireplace can decrease your bills over time, as heat and air conditioning can both leak through a wood-burning fireplace’s chimney or the exhaust systems of a gas insert.
