Update pictures! http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/The-zillow-air-picture-is-very-old-and-prior-to-2007-when-we-had-major-renovations-Update-pictures/287924/ We bought the house in 2003 and finally got moved in&nbsp;July 2006&nbsp;and have remodelled adding a huge deck the full width of the house and underneath is a room that we put our jacuzzi&nbsp;in and has a door to covered patio next to it and with double sliding doors to back yard that has a yard and cemented the side of the house from street past&nbsp;gate to new deck and stairs going down to the bottom where the yard is since it has a finished basement so back yard is on bottom level of this 3 level house. Picture doesn't have any grass and shows old tiny deck.We've put in triple pane windows, new vinyl siding, and new roof. Deck is Trex and isn't wood&nbsp;so won't rot or have to be refinished. Planning on putting in 2 wind turbines that run is a circle (horizontal), not vertical, so they are quiet,&nbsp;to create electricity. If the aerial picture of our area is old, probably the rest of the zillow pictures are as old. They should be updated at least every 5-10 years. I think the picture is actually from before 2003.&nbsp;Most of the areas on Sparks Blvd. aren't open land anymore.<br \><br \>3 replies Tue, 13 Oct 2009 09:31:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/The-zillow-air-picture-is-very-old-and-prior-to-2007-when-we-had-major-renovations-Update-pictures/287924/ 2009-10-13T09:31:00Z How do I submit a change for incorrect information? http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/How-do-I-submit-a-change-for-incorrect-information/283538/ The information regarding my home is incorrect as far as the sale date of the house. &nbsp;How do I correct the information or submit the information to correct the information?<br/><br/><br/>Ray Solomon<br \><br \>0 replies Tue, 29 Sep 2009 22:24:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/How-do-I-submit-a-change-for-incorrect-information/283538/ 2009-09-29T22:24:00Z HOW CAN I EDIT THE SQ.
