I'll be looking at a house tomorrow and I'm not sure if I should be excited, nervous, or just blah. I know I don't want to be homeless. I know moving is going to suck. Other than that, I'm not even sure what I want or what I'm looking for. What I am NOT looking for is...
My recent home inspection contained a couple items that required an electrician. My past experiences with electricians weren't horrible... just incredibly expensive. Kyle Stuckwisch, owner of Stuckwisch Heating and Air and Ace Hardware here in Seymour, actually called...
The appraisal is complete -- but the results won't be known until Monday. Me: I know you haven't had time to do the comparables, but do you think I'm ok on this?Appraiser: I don't see why you wouldn't be. That sounds pretty good to me -- certainly we can't be too far...

Sitting this morning in the sunroom of the house waiting to be sold, I'm surrounded by flies. ARG! It's drizzling outside so they all want inside. I'm guarding my coffee like it's my job! Dogs don't care. The doggos could care less if flies light on them. They don't...
Not sure if I mentioned this earlier, but one of the things the buyer of this house asked for was that I leave my freezer. I'm guessing that's because no one wants to move anything more than what's required. To make things easier, I ordered a new one and had it...
