What would an upper class home in the 1800s have been made out of?

An upper class home in the united states or possibly europe.
Wood frame? Brick walls? Would marble floors have been a likely option? What kind of metal would have been used for plumbing? Electricity? Heating? Would the home be insulated if it was in an area with cold winters, if yes, with what?

I’m mostly interested in the construction materials that were available and what was commonly used but general information on this type of home is welcome as well.

Can you build a Home Made EMP thing?

I just thought of this and was wondering if it can be done. I have a magnet that is the size of a small cell phone and its the strongest iv ever had and seen. Its stronger then the big ones in speakers lol. But i was wondering if i added electricity to it what could happen. But what would it take to make a EMP thing that would fry every thing in my room? Like in a normal size room in a normal size house.

I want to know what it takes too build a EMP thing to fry all electronics as soon as i turn it on lol? Sounds about like a EMP bomb but im not talking about anything that big lol. Something i can hook some battery’s up to and all my electronics fry lol. (not like im really going to do that lol)

what is the average price for certain bills within the household?

I’m starting college this coming fall and my mom is thinking about renting the house out to me and some of my friends. I’m just wondering what you think the average monthly rate for rent, phone, cable/internet, heating, electricity, food, clothes, entertainment, and other (house supplies and what not) would be. I don’t know what an air conditioner would go under but we would need that in there too. (They are the kinda you put in the windows.)
Thanks

How do you calculate the number of copper wire coils for a generator so that I can generate 1200 Kw power?

I am building a home-made wind turbine generator with lots of tools, money and materials. I need to know how to calculate the number of copper coils, i.e. coil number, windings, size of windings, etc., to generate 1200 Kw of electricity. What size of copper wire? Size of magnets? How many? I am really interested on the mathematics of the wind turbine construction.

How do I find a room for rent? I am having a hard time finding one in my price range.?

I am ending a 10+ year relationship in which I was a homemaker/housewife but things have been getting ugly emotionally not physically, with control issues and what not.

I just got a full time job in the entertainment industry and need to move out with my dog and cat. I know my pets make it harder but they are my comfort right now. They are both indoor pets. My dog is a miniature poodle so he doesn’t shed and the cat is his buddy, they actually do play with each other.

Any suggestions would be helpful…
I haven’t checked on craigslist yet but I signed up with roommates.com, easyroomate.com, pennysaverusa.com but there isn’t much in my price limit.
I am a private, quiet, basically very shy person and mostly keep to myself. In the evenings I enjoy reading or watching TV… things such as ER, CSI, etc along those themes.
