Non-Permitted Home Additions: Should You Disclose? - 05/20/08 09:55 AM
Sellers who have non-permitted additions to their homes face a bit of a dilemma in the Santa Clarita area. If they disclose the additions as non-permitted on the MLS, they may be inviting the City or County inspectors in to assess them for the additions, which may result in penalties and an increase in property taxes.

Ants in the House: It's That Time of Year Again! - 05/01/08 04:22 PM
This morning marked the first day of the Spring Ant Invasion Season at my house... I woke up to find them streaming through an electrical outlet above my kitchen counter.
Since I'm "going green" as much as possible, using toxic ant sprays, especially in my kitchen, is not an option.
Here are some "green" tips for taking care of ant invasions:
