**★★★★★ — newcottage, Oct. 2012**

> This company is just finishing building a 700 ft. cottage for us: from foundation to exterior painting. It is beautiful, solid and totally satisfactory. They started on time, will finish on time and  gave us weekly updates that kept everyone informed of progress along the way. Their workmen are professional, excellent at their tasks and pleasant to deal with. The whole process has been a pleasure instead of the oft-heard disaster. The owner, Tom Alderson, has been in business for years in our bay area and our whole family gives the company the highest possible applause!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Image rights** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hello,

I'm just writing an article on "colonial furniture style" for a German print magazine (30,000 sold copies per issue). The photo would illustrate the subject very well. So I'd like to ask you if you could let to us a printable version of the image (2000x1500 px at least) and grant us the permission of use for one issue. Certainly we would mention the soure in the image caption.

Best regards
Matthias Liebermann
