markdonmcinnes: Departure of North Idaho Halloween Pumpkins 2021 - 11/02/21 02:42 PM

 
Even the departure of North Idaho Halloween Pumpkins 2021 had a bit of an eerie feeling.  Perhaps looking over my shoulder for a couple more days might be a good idea...
 
Do you see the skeleton skull?

markdonmcinnes: 'Friday Flag' Sandpoint Realty LLC - August 13, 2021 - 08/13/21 09:23 AM
 
'Friday Flag' this week is in one of my favorite categories.  A resident who is tucked away from the road and the general public.  The flag proudly fly's for the benefit of the owners only for the most part.  And a little icing on the cake is this flag is flying at a New Listing (Rancher, 10 acres, 36X40 Shop) in Athol Idaho.
Thank you Idaho resident for proudly flying 'Ole Glory'.

markdonmcinnes: North Idaho Vacant Land for Sale - 40 Acres with Creek and Views - 05/11/21 05:35 PM
    
     When recently viewing a 40 acre parcel, I was reminded to take a moment before making decisions and judgements. Knowing the Naples Idaho area of this parcel I put no store in the fact a creek was mentioned by the seller.  Steep rough terrain in the area.  Views?  Only with the highest of points of the parcels in the area. 
 
 
     Once there and walking the Naples Idaho property, with the seller, I realized the serious mistake I could have made if I had been unwilling to look in person.  I immediately was thankful I took the time … (11 comments)

markdonmcinnes: 'Friday Flag' Sandpoint Idaho - 04/11/21 09:19 AM

Top of the morning all.  I have a weekly feature 'Friday Flag'.  Shots of our USA Flag being flown in the North Idaho area.  Business's and residents in and near Sandpoint Idaho.  I especially enjoy being able to highlight one from our listings.  This particular shot is of the flag at the Sandpoint Airport where we have a 'hangar lot' listed.  The weather has been turbulent the last week, which made for a nice 2nd shot looking south down the runway.

markdonmcinnes: 'Monday Motivation' from North Idaho - 01/07/19 12:36 PM

Top of the day Active Rainer's!  While this post may seem short for my many months absent, I find it very fitting to much of the reason I have been gone.  Quite a few 'moments' recently have confirmed I have moved, and am moving in the desired direction.  So enjoy this 'Monday Motivation' from North Idaho with more to follow.
 
Most recently received a 'How you doing' note from long time AR friend Kat Palmiotti.  That along with others following me, inspite of no new posts, has reminded me that AR was never about the business, although I started for that purpose, but … (18 comments)

Sandpoints 4th of July Fireworks Early This Year
This past Monday, June 26th, North Idaho warm temperatures, late afternoon cloud cover, and storm cells created ideal conditions for a light show that left people in awe.  As I passed through one cell, heading south to Sandpoint from Bonners Ferry, the clouded skies opened enough to create an incredible sunset with colors beyond the imagination of even an artist's canvas.

Sandpoint Beauty Not Always Found in the Distance
While my visits to Active Rain have been limited of late I still am very much aware of the good friends within.  While at a home preview this week I saw this flower with the butterfly and the sun hitting just right on both.  I was reminded that one does not always have to look to the distance for seeing Sandpoint Beauty. Looking out most any window in the North Idaho area will give a special view of something.
With the above photo I was immediately reminded of the wonderful photographs always shared by Gayle Rich-Boxman Fishhawk … (14 comments)

Bonners Ferry Idaho Soon To Be But a Memory
With temperatures turning warmer in North Idaho the snow filled days will soon be but a memory.  Looking almost as if a Norman Rockwell cover for Post Magazine I captured late night Old Main Street Bonners Ferry, with people having long deserted the stormy, snowy night in favor of warmth and Super Bowl 51.

Lovely Creekside Home at Priest Lake Idaho - Just Listed
Located in the highly sought after area of Kalispell Bay at Priest Lake is this large 4 bedroom 3.5 bath home.  The warmth and comfort of the home deceives its actual size.  Cathedral ceilings in the living room with a full wall of windows overlooking the deck, yard and creek.  Exposed beams, wood accents, built in fire place separating dining room and living room are but a few of the items helping to make this home so special.

markdonmcinnes: Comparing Sandpoint City to Bonner Countys' Sq. Mi. - 01/30/17 02:26 PM
Comparing Sandpoint City to Bonner County's Sq. Mi.It is difficult to grasp how small the town of Sandpoint actually is when comparing to Bonner County, much less the state of Idaho.  Hopefully these maps and basic figures will help put in perspective Sandpoint City and 83864 Zip Code Square Miles compared to the surrounding area of Bonner County, of which Sandpoint is the largest city.  City outlined below.
The zip code for Sandpoint City is 83864.  That tends to be very misleading to many people who do not realize the expanse of zip code 83864.  83864 zip code is stated as 500.1 … (6 comments)

'Ice Damns' and Possible Damage to Your Home
We all love the pictures of those warm and cozy living rooms, with a fire burning, and the reflection of the flames dancing on the ice cycles hanging from the roof in front of the living room window.  The dangers to your home behind the seemingly innocent beauty is quite real, and probable.  
The basics of an ice damn is moisture on the roof freezing at the edges of the roof where the warmth of the home no longer is heating.  An older home, or poorly insulated home is not automatically the reason.  A … (10 comments)

markdonmcinnes: Weltanschauung: the guiding principles - 01/18/17 02:59 AM
 
Weltanschauung: the guiding principles#5:  We believe that the constructive dialogue at ActiveRain fosters transparency among consumers about the industry. We understand that ActiveRain plays a key role in demonstrating the integrity and professionalism of those engaged in our industry.
In my opinion this principal applies to life in general as well as AR culture.
Communication is critical to any business, not just real estate.  Understanding
and realization does not usually come from a one time conversation.  
Especially with someone not familiar with a particular industry or subject. It 
 is in multiple visits to a subject that one grows knowledgeable.  
 
To validate that knowledge to a … (15 comments)
