Q: Can the architect of my house help me determine when it was built?

• <div><p>Consulting the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-architect-cost.htm">architect</a> of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down&mdash;especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it&rsquo;s best to rely on local government records. </p></div>

Q: If you believe the leach field has had too much weight on it, should it be inspected?

• <div><p>You can call a professional<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-septic-inspection.htm"> septic company to inspect your tank</a> and leach field if you suspect too much weight has been on it. An inspection is a good idea if you recently purchased the home and the septic system isn&rsquo;t working like you expected. The professionals can determine whether a previous owner damaged it by placing too much weight on it. </p></div>

Q: How often should you inspect your attic?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to conduct a DIY attic inspection at least once a year to look for signs of water damage, pest infestation, and damage to the underside of the roof decking. If you suspect any problems, call in a professional to confirm and come up with a solution. You should also hire a pro to inspect an attic before purchasing a home, and you can have an inspection done as a seller to entice buyers to move forward with an offer or purchase.</p></div>

Q: What do the little lines on the tape measure mean?

• <div><p>The small lines on the tape measure either indicate inches, fractions of an inch, or centimeters and millimeters. On the imperial unit side (aka the inches side), the longest lines indicate inches, followed by the next shortest lines that indicate a half-inch, and then the quarter, eighth, and sixteenth-inch. On the metric side, the lines break down meters, centimeters, and millimeters.</p></div>
