Aiken is a great little city - but every once in awhile we all need to 'get away'!

My place to go has always been the shore. Down here they call it 'the beach' :)

My favorite beach (since moving here) in SC is definitely Hilton Head Island. Just a little more than a 2 hour drive and you are at the coast - with your toes in the sand :)

Just one of about 500 sunrise pics I took last week:

Come see what South Carolina has to offer!! Give me a call - I'm happy to help with your Aiken area real estate needs.

Tips for when the lights go out

Kara Casamassina, "Boomers and beyond..." (The Carolina Real Estate Company) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:13:03 -0500

Storm season is here and power outages should be expected in many parts of the country. Lucky for me I live in Aiken, and my power rarely goes out! Let me know when you are ready to move here :)

THINGS TO KEEP ON HAND FOR POWER OUTAGES:

a cooler (or more if you have room to store them)

ice - keep as much on hand as you can store.

WHAT TO DO:

Keep your freezer FULL - it will keep the temp longer than a 1/2 full freezer (with the door kept closed)

Keep fridge and freezer doors CLOSED!!

Use up the perishable stuff first --- then go to non-perishable items.

Give us a call for your Aiken SC real estate needs :)

Happy Summer!

Thanks for lunch, neighbor!! :) Todd rocks :))

Kara Casamassina, "Boomers and beyond..." (The Carolina Real Estate Company) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 13:29:08 -0500

As y'all know - we've got some new construction going on for the past few months next door ----- what I haven't told you is that on the other side of us they've been working away , too! Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right...here I am, stuck in the middle of all this construction!! hahahaha.

Well, the old Post Office is getting a fresh look (maintaining the historical aspect) for some new tenants. Yup - we're gonna have some new neighbors :)

Here's the old post office (on the corner of Park Ave & Laurens St - downtown Aiken)

Todd Lista Photography has been our neighbor in this historic building for many years - he has moved out to make room for some new tenants to occupy his building. Stewart Builders has been hard at it - turning it into office space - keeping the historic charm at the same time! They have done a great job.

Anyway - today our friend Todd brought us lunch! Just his way of saying 'thanks for putting up with all the construction noise/mess... next door'. WHAT A GUY! THANKS TODD - U ROCK :) Lunch was deeee-lish! -- and dessert was to-die-for! Thanks again neighbor :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just a reminder of what is happening on the other side of us............

Hey! Did y'all notice that the comments are turned off to 'non-members'?

Most of you do not leave comments anyway - and may not have noticed. I just wanted to let y'all know what was going on.

There have been some spammer-scammers-jammers leaving comments with links to bad bad places!! I was told 'it takes you to a place you don't want to be'.

Until the webmasters at Active Rain can block those scoundrels, it was suggested that we block 'non-member comments' for the time being - and this should put a stop to the scammers for now.

I'm sorry to turn off your commenting option for now - but it is for your own safety and the safety of others!

This is a temporary fix - watch for updates!

I'll turn your voice back on as soon as it is safe :) Thanks for understanding.

In the meantime - visit our website - check out the properties that are available for your purchase!

You can always email me!

Current Economy Causing a Crimp In Your Vacation Plans?

Kara Casamassina, "Boomers and beyond..." (The Carolina Real Estate Company) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 19:15:26 -0500

Just curious. Have you had to cut back on your 'normal' vacation activities this year? A lot of us have.

You know - the beach is not far from us. About a 2 and a half hour drive to Hilton Head. There are several public beaches with free parking. Pack up the kids, pack up a picnic lunch, and go put your toes in the sand! R-E-L-A-X!! For most of todays cars - you can get there and back on less than a tank of gas.

Don't want to drive so far? How about Aiken State Park. Bring the tent and enjoy nature! Or just visit for the day - bring your lunch, hang out by the lake...... make a day of it :) R-E-L-A-X!!

Enjoy the summer - it only comes once a year :)

...just a few blocks down the street ...

Kara Casamassina, "Boomers and beyond..." (The Carolina Real Estate Company) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 21:18:58 -0500

...we've got some more construction going on! The train depot at the corner of Park Avenue and Union Street is really coming along.

This is how it looked back in the day:

And here is the progress as of last week: (this picture is from the side, where the historic picture is from the front)

This is a $3,000,000 project in our little city. The train was a very important part of Aiken's history. Really, we would have been nothing without it! When it is completed it will replicate the original depot as historically accurate as possible. The depot will house a railroad museum - and will be used as a visitor's center for the City of Aiken. The Parks, Rec & Tourism Dept will have an office there as well.

I'm looking forward to the grand opening! I'll keep you posted :)

You ready to move south yet?

I wasn't born here but Aiken sure feels like home. Come see for yourself! What are you waiting for?

Summer Energy Savers

Kara Casamassina, "Boomers and beyond..." (The Carolina Real Estate Company) — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 17:50:04 -0500

Summer is officially here :) Woo hoo!! For me, that means beach trips.....and that football season is just around the corner! :)

Save money this summer on your power bill - and treat yourself to an NFL or College ball game this fall!

Here's how:

1. Set your thermostat at 78 degrees or above. Each degree lower than that can significantly increase your cooling costs, especially in our historic (and older) homes with less thermal efficiency.

2. Install a programmable thermostat. Programmable thermostats allow you to conveniently maintain the comfort of your home when you're there and reduce energy costs when you're not. Be sure to install a thermostat compatible with your HVAC system. (If you rent, you will need to check with your landlord first)

3. Maintain your HVAC. Have your HVAC system serviced at least once a year to make sure it's operating at peak efficiency. (If you rent, be sure to ask your landlord if it has been done)

4. Used fans in place of or as a suppplement to air conditioning. This will allow you to increase the thermostat setting and still be comforable. Turn fans off when you leave a room.

5. Close window coverings. Keep window covering closed to keep the heat out. (this will also protect your carpets and upholstery from sun fading)

6. Protect your home from cooling loss. Caulk, seal and weather-strip around all seams,cracks, and openings. Pay special attention around windows and exterior doors.

7. Set your water heater temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Also consider adding a water heater tank insulation wrap. (If you rent, have your landlord turn it down - and ask about the insulation wrap. Offer to pay for it, of course ! )

Some of these tips help to save money in the winter season as well. Don't forget to change your air filters once a month :) Oh - and those new squiggly 'energy saver' lightbulbs really DO SAVE ENERGY, which in turns SAVES YOU MONEY!!

Let's save some money this summer and have fun with it!!
