bracebridge: Find better ways to heat and cool your house - 06/30/10 10:23 AM
As much as half of the energy used in homes goes toward heating and cooling. The following are a few ways that energy bills can be reduced through adjustments to the heating and cooling systems:
Install a ceiling fan. Ceiling fans can be used in place of air conditioners, which require a large amount of energy. This depends on where you live, as some areas are extremely hot in summer months. Simply reducing the degree of coldness will help.
Periodically replace air filters in air conditioners and heaters. It can be hard to remember when this should be done. … (5 comments)

Planning your weekend away at the 'cottage' can be so much fun! You spend your work day thinking about it...and "can't wait till Friday" when you make the 2-3 hour journey north to the peace and tranquility of Muskoka surroundings. BBQ's, boat rides, bonfires and partying with friends and family!

bracebridge: The Country vs City Debate - 01/08/10 06:23 PM
The Country vs. City Debate
My top 10 reasons why country living is better than City life. Some of the points I make here are a complete generalization, and all are from personal experiences, and not intended to offend.
•1) If you have pets then they have more room to roam, and you can take your dog for a walk ‘off leash' if your property is large enough.
•2) Country folk are more courteous than City folk. They will chat to you if you make the effort, and will not let a door slam in your face as they enter … (7 comments)

bracebridge: Helping Private Sellers sell their homes - 01/05/10 07:43 AM
Spotting a For Sale By Owner sign instantly evokes a challenging thought-stream! Having sold a home privately, before making Real Estate a career, I understand the for sale by owner mentality.
It is a frustrating process to sell a home privately, and yet so many Joe Public attempt it based on a misconception that there is a high success rate in doing so. This misconception is formed by the Private Seller companies themselves.
Have you actually researched the status of homes advertised as 'sold' on the FSBO websites? I have.
You see, regardless of 'how' the home is sold, these companies … (2 comments)

bracebridge: Record amounts of snowfall in Muskoka! - 12/16/09 12:39 PM
This past weekend showed more than 108cm of snow falling from our skies! That's 3 ft 6 inches of the fluffy white stuff we love to ski and sled on!
The 'state of emergancy' is now over in Bracebridge and Huntsville, although some are still without power, or able to get out of their driveways!
The roads are now open, and the city is doing what they can to get the state of the roads back to normal driving conditions.
We look forward to a great holiday season, and tourists, over this great winter we are already having!
