Kitchen Kalamity
We have just finished a moderate upgrade to the kitchen. A new dishwasher, oven and fridge are happily living in that space now. The previous appliances were not entirely "used up" but it was certainly time for a refresh. We also replaced the kitchen sink and faucet. That alone is one of my favorite parts. The old sink was unreasonably shallow and you basically took an unwanted bath every time you washed a large pan.
The kitchen is one of the more important rooms of your home. Today we're going to review some of the biggest offenders in this room and help you make your kitchen more awesome or, at the very least, more attractive to discerning buyers. If nothing else, the kitchen is where your friends and family will spend all of their time during any social event you host. We all tidy up...

Board the Buyer Barge
I'm writing with a heavy heart today. Our good friend, mentor, teacher, coach and fearless leader, Richard Badger, passed away just over 2 weeks ago. His knowledge of the Mount Washington Valley and his associated involvement in countless aspects of life here will be sorely missed. It always made my day when he would comment on one of my articles. I never saw him without a smile on his face and a kind word on his lips. He will be dearly missed.
Since we are on a bit of a buyer barge right now, I wanted to take a small step back and talk about a little strategy when it comes to buying. I tend to be a bit impulsive. When I see something I'm interested in, I jump in with both feet. I've tempered that insanity over the years, but it still gets me in trouble here and there. With a home pu...

Buyer's Brilliance
We all approach big purchases in our own (sometimes) methodical ways. Sometimes we research the snot out of the item before laying down our cash. We weigh the different brands, models, features and specifications to see which will fit our needs and budget. Other times we simply make an impulsive purchase based on our needs in the "here and now". I've certainly used both of those methods and almost always have a better result with the former. (Except when it comes to chocolate! There's always a need for that!)
When it comes to purchasing a home, an investment of that size calls for a bit of research. Even if you are desperate to get into a home, slowing down a bit can make a big difference in your overall happiness with the property. Today we're going to dig into this a little bit and focu...
