I work from home and I love it. I enjoy staying inside on those nasty, cold winter days. Not having to scrape off my car is one of life's little pleasures that never gets old. I tend to spend a good amount of time talking on the phone so it is nice to not have to worry about bothering an office-mate with my gabbing. One of the downsides of this lifestyle is it does tend to get a little quiet (Dave Matthews Band in the background, notwithstanding). While I am a card-carrying introvert, I do sometimes miss the human interaction of co-workers. To that end, I make efforts to get out of the house (after changing out of my PJs) and seek out some of my peeps.

It turns out I'm not alone. As much as we hear about people being stuck "in" their screens all day, as a society w...

My eyes are fantastic. They are especially great when I'm wearing my glasses! Truth is, I can't read a thing without them. Long gone are the days of wandering around town and stopping into a restaurant for a bite to eat, without having my glasses with me. Unless I can order from memory, that menu may as well be written in Greek. Of course, my standard go-to (a burger and a beer) is usually a pretty safe bet. When buying a new home, taking the time to "see" everything is critical to your success as a future homeowner. Today I'd like to highlight a few areas that often go unnoticed during the showing. Let's grab our glasses and dig in!

I'm assuming I got this from my mom, but I have a pretty good nose for errant smells. I've lived in (or walked-through) enough homes that h...

We are pleased to bring a new feature to our blog, a chat with one of our current sellers in Bethlehem and Carroll/Twin Mountain, NH. Our homeowners at 226 Beechwood Drive have owned their home for many years, and now offer this remarkable custom built Deck House to you.

I've spent the last two weekends working on the lawn. To be fair I have also spent a decent amount of time hiking (snowshoeing actually!) and cycling. I mean, I'm not a crazy person! A man's got to have some fun. For me, escaping into the woods or out on the road is exactly what the doctor ordered (and keeps ordering!). But when those adventures were over, I was looking forward to attacking the yard and getting things cleaned up for this summer. Everything we are going to talk about today is valuable information (IMHO) whether you are planning to sell your home or just looking forward to some quality time spent in the yard with warmer weather. Let's get raking!

Although these statistics come from the National Association of Landscape Professionals, they are still impressive. 79% of consume...
