This morning I went with my client for a new construction walk thru to have them place stuff like recessed lighting, phone and cable jacks.  I always bring my camera along.  Every time a jack or fixture was located, I took a picture.

Are you a Buyers agent that works new construction?  Have you done this with an out of town client.  If so, the client needs you to be their eyes and ears on the street.  This home was built in 2008 and the clients lived in New Jersey.  Over the course of the building, I litterly sent over 140 photos of their home via e-mail so they could see the progress.  In the end, it saved the builder.  The home was supposed to have a phone jack in the kitchen, but at the final walt thru, there was no jack.  … (1 comments)

There is a big winter storm moving across the country and it is scheduled to hit North Carolina today.  What I find amusing and the focus of the blog is the general populations response to the news.  In the Raleigh area, the 1st snow flake is not scheduled to hit until after dark, however some of the counties has dismissed school 2 hrs early.  Some schools have cancel led any extra curricular activities for tonight .
I just came from the Grocery Store.  You would think they were giving stuff away or people think they will be home bound for months.  If … (1 comments)

fuquay varina: Why did a rain dance work? - 01/19/10 01:10 AM
In the days of the American Indians (or native Americans if you prefer), if they needed rain, they would do a rain dance.  Present day meteorologist would say that is a bunch of bunk,  You can't make it rain by dancing?  But they are missing the most important part of the dance.  The rain dance worked because they would dance until it rained.  Let me say that again THEY DANCED UNTIL IT RAINED.
We are tought that we must be our own rain makers and do our dance,  Whether that is phone call, door knocking, or other methods.  We must continue to … (5 comments)
