Let us know if you hear it, and what you think.
As anyone who follows my blogs know…I read MSN Real-Estate nearly every day… Well today I cam across this wonderful article about a project in California where they are taking a 747 apart to make a home from its pieces.
(From the article)
Architect David Hertz likens the reuse of the plane’s 4.5 million parts to recycling a “big aluminum can.”
A 50-foot long section of the upper fuselage will be the roof of an art studio on the property. Another section of the fuselage, along with the upper first-class cabin, will become the guest-house roof.
Specially rigged flatbed trucks hauled the pieces to Camarillo, Calif. From there, the 125-foot wings, too long for trucking up winding roads, were dropped in by a Chinook helicopter.
Check out the full article and give us your feedback!!
Another great article on MSN Real-Estate….talking about June’s home maintenance checklist…” Early summer chores should get you outdoors: Look for winter damage, ward off mold and rot, sharpen your tools and patrol your home’s perimeter for pests and other problems.”
The article lists items such as switching the ceiling flan blades to push cool air down, cleaning out your dryer vents (which can become a fire hazard if you don’t clean them out from time to time.
“Take advantage of dry weather to clear out leaves, needles and debris, leaving gutters free to carry rainwater away and protect your home from mold and rot. Depending on your home’s surroundings, you should do this several times a year. Hire someone (around $50 to $100) or get a stable ladder (and someone to hold it) and do it yourself. Use a garden trowel or your (gloved) hands to muck out the debris. Scrub gutters with a non-metallic brush. Slosh water from a hose through the gutters and the drainpipes to finish the job and test that they’re clear and that water is flowing away from your basement, foundation or crawl space.”

I ran across this great article on MSN Real-Estate about 10 ways to reduce your summer utility bills. I know the economy is rough and money is tight for most of us….so performing a few simple energy conscious acts can help keep your utility bills from being a nightmare this summer.
Check it out and let us know what you think.
I ran across a great article today on MSN Real-estate…. It talks about the importance of a home inspection.
(from MSN Realestate)
After a home inspection turned up everything from leaky toilets to termites, Cincinnati couple Hannah Powers and Ben Clinkinbeard thought about rescinding the $305,000 offer they’d made on a four-bedroom home. Instead, they got an estimate for the cost of repairs, and worked it out that the seller would pick up the $10,000 tab. “You can’t wash dishes and flush the toilet at the same time,” Powers, 28, says. “That’s a problem you’d think someone would mention.”
Read the rest for yourself and let us know what you think!

We also have our door prize grab bags (so business cards, coupons, fliers, and any other promotional material you may want to hand out will need to be gathered up a few days before the event).
I know there is still a while before the event, but I just want everyone to mark their calendars and keep those two Saturdays open.
More information will be forthcoming,
We just want to thank everyone in advance, and tell everyone who helped last year that I really do appreciate your assistance. Let’s make this year’s event even better than the last two years!!

The May spotlight home is a truly one of a kind custom home! We really enjoy working with each client…..however homes like this only come around once every year or two. This home was a challenge to design, but the finished product makes us proud to be a part of residential design community. This home has a lovely exterior but the most stunning items are waiting on the inside.
When you first walk through the eight foot double doors into the grand entry you are greeted by a breathtaking circular staircase which is complimented by beautiful tile work as well as an awe inspiring domed ceiling.
The archways leading into the great room are flanked by two story windows allowing the homeowner a picturesque view of the Utah mountain range. The kitchen has exquisite tile work and the custom cabinetry really shows off the home.
