Poop on your feet! - 08/15/07 06:56 PM
Yesterday I was looking at a short sale with my Realtor. The home was sh**y to say the least. But I am telling the rest of the story to early. We, I mean me, decided to go down stairs first. Always the best place to start. This is a split with the garage

How hard is your job? - 08/15/07 06:13 PM
Next time that you say "my job is so tough that no one could do it" check these guys out. They are the ones who keep your beer cold. Your wife's hair dry. Your kids cell phones charged. I doubt if many of us could perform these tasks. Or would chose to

No this is not about Ohio State Football. I noticed today that my buckeye trees are dropping their nuts. While I do not know the exact time that they drop every year it seems early to me this year. I was wondering how the weather has effect trees or plants in your area.

Attn. Builders - 08/08/07 06:48 PM
This is what happened to me last week on the start of a new construction home. I stopped by and introduced myself to the superintendent running the job. First I think that I caught him off guard. I guess no one hires an inspector to inspect new construction. He was polite and I have

What once was a great place for me to get leads has now become a money pit for me. http://www.servicemagic.com/ I have received a lot of 'bad' leads recently and choose to stick around. May I say at one time I loved this service. But the individual that I spoke to today REALLY

Flip 'what' house? - 08/04/07 03:59 PM
Flip 'what' house? Flip 'my' house. I was wondering your thoughts on all the new expert flipping programs. Are these shows harming want-to-be's? Are they making it look to easy? I have all the licenses and money to 'flip' homes and I do not find that many 'easy' flips (deals). Let us share some experiences so that

Smoke Detectors - 08/01/07 05:37 PM
Smoke detectors are not only required but are a very wise investment. BUT today I saw something that disturbed me and may disturb you too. They are not fool proof. What I mean is that we go to bed every evening and think that the kids are safe. GUESS how wrong we are! Here is a
