Save money by spending a little money; Insulating a home.

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 09:59:59 -0600

This week I decided to save a little money on my home heating costs, and at the same time I'm eligible for a energy efficient tax credit.

By insulating my attic space in my home, I'm am now going to save a average of 250 gallons of home heating oil. I'm adding 15-18 inches of energy star rated, blown in insulation. A qualified contractor visited the house this morning and is completing the job early this afternoon. A simple job, it will qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $1500!

Federal Tax Credits for Consumer Energy Efficiency

If you purchase an energy-efficient product or renewable energy system for your home, you may be eligible for a federal tax credit. Below you will find an overview of the federal tax credits for energy efficiency.

What is included in the tax credit?

30% of cost up to $1,500

Expires:

December 31, 2010

Details:

Must be an existing home & your principal residence. New construction and rentals do not qualify.

Adding adequate insulation is one of the most cost-effective home improvements that you can do.

Today I'm thankful for;

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:32:22 -0600

I just wanted to write a quick thank you note to all of my wonderful family and friends today. More than ever, lately I have been reminded how much I love my family. I have a great, loving wife, who stands by me, and my crazy life. A son, who without any questions, thinks I am the best dad. Parents, who, for some crazy reason, stood by me through my teen years. A brother and sister, who were always willing to give me anything I ever wanted while growing up. And of course, the extended family, who have accepted me for who I am without judgment.

I hope you all have a wonderful day today. I hope you are reminded of those who you love, and those who love you. Let's not be grateful for the wonderful food we are going to eat today, let's be grateful for the people we are able to spend it with.

Dover New Hampshire Boy donates birthday gifts

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:52:15 -0600

This is a story from our local newspaper, Foster's Daily Democrat. I wanted to share this story because I think it's a great thing this young boy has done. This is just another reason why I love living where I do. The people around me are so loving and caring.

As an annual tradition, sixth grader Jay Gallipo, 11, asked his birthday party guests for non-perishable food items instead of gifts. He donated the boxes of food to St. Joseph's Food Pantry in Dover on Tuesday, Nov. 17.

He chose this charity because it is so close to Thanksgiving, and it is a hard year for so many people.

"Smile every mile for Douce". 1st annual 5k road race/walk Dover New Hampshire

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 08:01:24 -0500

This year, much like most others, I will be involved in a lot of community development and charitable organizations. I came across one scholarship in particular that really struck a cord. A local family, the Doucette's lost their son Brian in 2007 when a drunk driver struck a car he was riding in.

Brian was an all around athlete. Playing in multiple sports throughout his life. Hockey was his passion. In his memory, a scholarship was created. The Brian W. Doucette scholarship is awarded every year to a local hockey player. As many of you know, hockey is a large part of my life, and my families lives. I grew up playing hockey, and now my son plays hockey. We are a tight community that sticks together and helps eachother out through good times and bad.

Century 21 Central Falls Realty will be sponsoring the 1st annual "smile every mile for Douce" 5k road race/walk, to be held in Dover New Hampshire on October 24th, 2009. The race will start and finish at Dover High School, Dover New Hampshire, and will be a USATF certified course. All proceeds will benefit the Brian W. Doucette scholarship. Please join us, or donate to help this wonderful cause.

For a little more information about Brian W. Doucette, check out the video on the link below:

New Hampshire photos, Sept. 19th, 2009

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 18:42:53 -0500

Yesterday I finally decided to purchase a new camera that I had been looking at for a couple months now. The Nikon D3000 is the newest D-SLR camera offered by Nikon. It is a simple, and easy to use camera for those of us just starting out with SLR camera's.

I figured I would purchase the new camera as an added service to my clients. I am now able to take professional quality pictures of my listings. This is a feature that will be utilized for all marketing, including MLS photos, Visual tour photos, print photos for flyers and newspapers, and any online advertising such as Vflyers, and websites.

Here are a couple photos I took today with the new camera. The pictures were taken in Dover New Hampshire along Watson Road.
