A. What is the question? What patina is? It is copper (II) hydroxocarbonate. There is not unique formula for that, but something like Cux(OH)y(CO3)z, where x=(y+2z)/2, will do xCu + (z+y/2)O2 + y/2H2O + zCO2 --> Cux(OH)y(CO3)z

Is it possible to "swap" houses of comparable value with another party and retain your existing mortgage loan?
Q. We would like to swap houses with another couple. The houses are of comparable value. In doing so, we would like to each keep our existing mortgage loans in place and just continue to make the same monthly payments as before. Is this possible? If so, how is this accomplished paperwork-wise?
Asked by WSPJ - Sun Sep 30 17:49:13 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 99% chance of NO, depending on what your respective mortgages say about assumability. There aren't too many assumable loans out there any more, so that's why I'm saying 99%. Plus, don't think you can wiggle around it by just going ahead and paying each other's bills -- if the other couple gets behind on payments, it's YOUR credit azz that's on the line, not theirs! Tax issues, escrows, etc, all get mucked up, too.
