bellingham real estate: Best Bellingham Parks - Whatcom Falls Park Washington - 10/06/11 07:39 PM
After living here in Bellingham Washington for all most all my life, I would say that one of the best in Bellingham would be Boulevard Park, located the Whatcom Falls neighborhood.
Whatcom Falls Park has miles of trails you can hike, sports courts, fishing ponds and even falls that you can jump off of. If you would like to take the leap make sure you are ready for the line and possibly someone jumping on your head, since in the summer the area where you cliff dive is packed.
In the spring Whatcom Falls Park even has a fishing derby … (0 comments)

bellingham real estate: Home Inspection and Appliances - 01/03/08 12:09 AM
Many home inspectors not only check the critical components and systems of a home, but also try to give an overview of the status of the household appliances. The information below gives some insight into how this evaluation is done.
Home inspection standards seldom specify that household appliances must be inspected by the professional home inspector. There are a number of reasons for this. For example, many times the appliances go with the seller so they will not be in the house after closing. Other times, there are no appliances in the home because it is brand new or, in an … (0 comments)

bellingham real estate: Home Inspections: Conducive Conditions and Your Home - 01/03/08 12:08 AM
Conducive conditions are circumstances that unnecessarily attract wood destroying organisms to the home. Perhaps the most common such conducive condition, that takes place right in front of the homeowner's eyes, is vegetation or plants growing against the wood structure of the home.
Circumstances that can lead to problems with wood destroying organisms (rot, ants, wood boring beetles, termites) are known as conducive conditions. Probably the most frequently seen conducive condition, to a home inspector, is vegetation growing over the roof or against the siding of the home. In Washington State, a state licensed inspector seeing vegetation against the home is mandated to … (0 comments)

bellingham real estate: Critical Areas During A Home Inspection - 01/03/08 12:07 AM
A home inspector looks at the structure and many systems and components in the home. While this information is all helpful to the buyer, the fact remains that a few key locations at the home tend to be those areas where the most dangerous safety issues are found.
If a home inspector adheres to any of the published national standards, the home inspection will include many locations and systems: structure, roof, crawl space or basement areas, plumbing, heating, electrical, fireplaces, etc. Even though the inspector looks at all of these components, there are certain locations or systems that are, in fact, … (0 comments)

bellingham real estate: Home Inspections: Pressure Treated Lumber, What to Look For! - 01/03/08 12:04 AM
Home inspectors cite wood to earth contact as a condition that will, eventually, lead to decay of the wood. Sometimes, the wood that is in contact with the soil is pressure treated lumber that is designed for that purpose. This article gives advice on what could be considered appropriate uses for pressure treated lumber. Wood to earth contact is one of the most frequently cited concerns in a home inspection report. Often, clients ask about wood to earth contact and how it applies to pressure treated lumber. In the world of construction, pressure treated lumber is advertised as having a long life … (0 comments)

bellingham real estate: Problems For a Home Inspector - 01/03/08 12:01 AM
A home inspection, because it is a visual inspection by a trained professional, has a certain number of built in limitations. An inspector cannot see into walls. However, when the utilities at a home have been shutoff, such as water, gas and electricity, that imposes limitations on the inspection and that severely impedes the overall quality of the inspection.
A home inspection is, generally speaking, a visual inspection of a home. An inspector is not able to look under or between floors or inside walls. While this is a standard limitation to an inspection, there are other sometimes other limitations that are … (0 comments)

bellingham real estate: Home Inspectors and the Re-inspection - 01/03/08 12:00 AM
On the surface, it sounds simple enough. But, in fact, the simple re-inspection of a previously inspected home or property is very high liability to the working home inspector. A synopsis of the complexities of the re-inspection process, and why it worries home inspectors, is provided below.
Frequently a home inspector is asked to re-inspect repairs at a house where that inspector had previously performed an inspection. This is typically done at a fraction of the cost of the original inspection. On the surface, this process sounds simple enough but, in fact, home inspectors are often very uncomfortable doing re-inspections. While this … (1 comments)

bellingham real estate: Home Inspections: Unsafe Decks - 01/02/08 11:58 PM
Decks are so commonplace that people tend to take them for granted. In fact, decks that are not well maintained can pose a serious safety risk to life and limb.
People tend to take deck safety for granted. Sellers, buyers, realtors, and even home inspectors who should know better, might walk right up on an unsafe deck. Decks are simple and so common that we seldom even think about them. In other words, they are taken for granted. While that is the reality, often decks, even the low ones, can be treacherous. They are prone to concealed rot on beams, joists, columns … (0 comments)

bellingham real estate: Home Inspections: Wood Burning Stoves in Your Home - 01/02/08 11:56 PM
Wood burning devices, such as fireplaces and stoves, are among the most dangerous systems found in the home. Poor installation, or lack of maintenance, can lead to a serious fire hazard.
Wood burning stoves and fireplaces are found in many homes, both older and new construction. These systems, because poor maintenance or improper installation is so common, can be the cause of a fire. Due to the vulnerability of these systems, the professional home inspector must carefully evaluate them.
More often than not, unless a chimney sweep or another professional has recently performed professional service, the home inspector finds a multitude of correctable … (0 comments)

bellingham real estate: Why the Pacific Northwest? - 12/28/07 12:24 PM
"Why would you want to move to the Pacific North West?", I was once asked over the phone by my friend from back east. "Doesn't it rain there all the time?" I smiled as I squinted in the bright sunshine, attempting to answer this question.
Rainfall seems the last thing to think about in the scenic and diverse Pacific North West region. There is such a plethora of recreation that everyone is too busy planning the next weekend's activities to even check out the Internet weather. Still it got me thinking, why does everyone think we live in the rain?
Surprisingly, statistics tell … (1 comments)

bellingham real estate: Energize Your Kitchen With Color - 12/28/07 12:22 PM
Somehow, once the rush of Christmas is over, we have time on our hands. But usually at this time of the year, it has to be indoor time, so how about a low-key face lift for your place, specifically to 'brighten' your kitchen?
Even if you are on a limited budget (like most of us after Christmas!) there are still ways to improve and really brighten up your kitchen. The biggest way to change the look of a kitchen (and give yourself an instant psychological lift) is to change the color scheme. Certain colors are known to give a cheery boost, particularly … (2 comments)

First time buyers are in an ideal position to buy a house, renovate, decorate and turn it around for a fat profit! What is more, the time is NOW - the market is right- read on...
In another few years, the bulk of the baby boomers will be moving to a prime real estate area (like this one) and many of them will be down-sizing and looking to buy a modestly-sized house.
They will be ready to have fun and may not have the energy or the wish to renovate and decorate. They do not have youth on their side - but you … (1 comments)

bellingham real estate: First Time Buyers, Great Time to Buy - 11/29/07 12:59 AM
The largest population burst we have experienced will be hitting the retirement scene in 2011 - when the youngest of the so-called baby boomers will turn 65. Some of them have been lucky enough to retire early and have already bought their homes.
But, this massive retirement is in its early days yet. Sought-after real estate areas are already reflecting a 20% rise in sales between this October and October of last year.
Well, if I have you convinced, let's look at some of the practicalities.
The least expensive house is a one bedroom home, and this is an ideal size to re-sell to … (2 comments)
