Does anyone have any tips on tracking down information on older (70s) homes.
Finding a set of plans would be really really nice.
Some old pictures would be neat.
I do know who the builder was (appears to be out of business - No real surprise - Name is fairly common) the address is now an (ironically) oil change place.
I also have found a bill from one of the suppliers (Modern Supply) and found a lumber company written on the back of some paneling (Schubert Lumber Company) Both of these appear to still be in business but at different addresses and I do not know that that particular information does me any good.
Some of this is for curiosity sake, but an in the middle of a fairly expensive remodel and some it would be helpful to know what is supposed to be places and what has been messed with... some of what has been messed with is obvious (soft roll copper pipe plumping repair for instance) but you never know.
If it was a Ford I would order a Marti Report ...
