obeoman: I hate moving-THE PHONE IS IN! - 12/28/08 10:28 AM
 

 
 
...doesn't everyone?
 
It's part of the surprise show of daily life,
and becomes an adventure to share.
But,
with the help of my friends, 
(of course)
I will keep it real and even crazier at the new address below,
it's the same place in a different neighborhood:
                                             http://realestateisreallycrazy.blogspot.com
and you are welcome anytime.
Just call ahead so I can get out of my bathrobe, get into some shorts and flip-flops
and put the coffee on!
Let's get social-
and don't mind the boxes when you get there-
just pull one up and have a seat!

Hey gang!
The year is winding down.
And no doubt, each of us
have been taking a look at what we did,
what we didn't ,
what we wanted to
but
for whatever reason-
it just didn't happen.
We all still have choices and chances.
And the chance to make a choice.
What will yours be?
Take a deep breath, look around
and
go.

obeoman: Green, open, recycled: The Wisconsin Trend Home-WOW and NOW! - 08/13/08 09:45 AM
 
Take a look at this home in the Waukesha, WI area-pretty nice!

The Wisconsin Trend Home looks great saving the planet, too!
Just a few of its green and sustainable features:
Recycled roof tiles and masonry components.
It captures 43,000 gallons of water a year that can be used for irrigation and aquifer replenishment,
has structually insulated panels and uses thermal massing to help with heating and cooling,
bamboo flooring, organic pigments, high-effciency fixtures,
and that is just the beginning-
 go here to have a look inside the home
and at where the money is going in the community...
