Our Halloween Party last Saturday night was SUPER FUN!

Did you know that Snickers is the most popular treat? And one of the first things parents swipe from their kids treat buckets!

Another one for you: Did you know that 99% of all pumpkins grown are used for Jack-O-Lanterns at Halloween time. And over 2 billion dollars worth of candy is sold every year! That’s a lot of Trick or Treating treats!

Thanks to everyone who came…..!!

9 reasons to choose a new home over a resale

Friday, September 17th, 2010 by Jeremy

We found this AWESOME article on MSN Real-estate this morning, talking about why a new home may be better than a resale for some people! (Article by Luke Mullins)
Check it out: “To help consumers understand the advantages of buying a new home, U.S. News spoke with a handful of experts and compiled a list of nine reasons to choose a new home over a resale.

1. Customization: Many homebuilders allow buyers to help design the property, which helps create a living space tailored to the consumer’s tastes. New-home buyers, for example, can often decide where their bathroom might go, choose their favorite flooring or pick the exterior paint color. Buyers moving into a subdivision can sometimes pick the lot they like best. “There is a lot of flexibility for [new-home buyers] to kind of put their personal signature on the product,” says Patrick Costello, president of Forty West Builders, based in Ellicott City, Md. “Those kind of things you can’t do with a used house — it’s just not possible.”

4. Fewer repairs: The features of new homes should also hold up better than those of existing homes, which may have experienced years of wear and tear, says Evan Gilligan of Mandrin Homes, which has offices in Maryland and Delaware. People will buy [previously owned] houses, and then the carpet needs to be replaced or it needs to be repainted or it needs new appliances or the flooring is shot,” Gilligan says. “When they buy a new home in today’s market, it really is new.”

As always check out the full story and let us know what you think!!

Sterling Accord Seated Shower

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010 by Jeremy

We found this article in Qualified Remodeler and found it to be very interesting.Kohler is of course a leader in bathroom and kitchen hardware…so we thought it fitting to pass this article along!!

“The biggest thing in most bathrooms is undoubtedly the bath/shower unit – literally!. Being such a large piece, it often is the focal point of a bathroom space and can sometimes make or break a remodeling project – both in terms of budget and aesthetics.
The STERLING Accord seated shower offers a well-designed, functional and affordable option for a shower remodel.
Both homeowners and professional alike are happy at how thoughtfully the Accord was designed to meet their needs:

• Movable and removable seat, offering safety and flexibility in the shower as well as offering a place to relax, bathe a child or even shave legs.
• Four-piece unit made of lightweight, durable, Sterling-exclusive Vikrell – easy to carry around a job site and looks great for years!
• Arched back wall gives the shower an open, airy feeling.
• Spacious and partially hidden shelving keeps the unit looking clean and uncluttered.
• Great for homeowners looking to “age in place” with functional seat and optional grab bars that mirror the arch of the back wall.
• Single pivot point installation system easily interlocks walls with base with a satisfying “click.”
• Installs from the front, fits snug with no caulk needed in the seams and is watertight; solid Vikrell material is chip-, crack- and peel-resistant.
• Comes in three popular colors: White, KOHLER® Almond and KOHLER Biscuit and has a clean, geometric design that works with most décors and lifestyles.”
