As I sit in 114 degree heat in Arizona, I think how lucky my daughter is to have just left for camp in northern Wisconsin and get away from the hot weather for a couple of months. The camp director writes a daily diary entry filling in the parents on all … (0 comments)
I am not a big follower of the weather. I get up and do my thing. If it rains (like today) I keep plugging away because it does not bother me or depress me in anyway. I came home late in the afternoon and my house was pretty cool. So I … (11 comments)
These hot summer days are not actually for the dogs at all, especially here in North Texas. Imagine a steamy tropical beach; the rays beating down, the heat rising from scorched sand. Now imagine you enjoying it all in a fur coat that you can't take off! Yikes! Even though it … (2 comments)
It’s here again.
That time of year when it’s 106° in the shade (while sipping on a granizado with a cool water-soaked towel draped around your neck, of course). That time of year when stepping outside feels like you just stepped inside the Volcanic Rock Sauna at Neo Vertika (what … (2 comments)
I know that many of you are enjoying very pleasant Spring days, but I think that Summer has arrived in South Florida. It climbing into the low 90s today - depending on which weatherman you believe. If it's still Spring where you are - or even snowing as I know it … (8 comments)

Alternative energy is a big thing in my area (north west Iowa) partly because of the extreme cold in the winter and the constantly blowing wind and partly because of the abundance of corn and high fuel prices. Wind turbines (wind farms) are very prominent in this area, in fact we … (5 comments)
I'm not very happy to report this, but one of my clients who bought a home with oil heat called to find out if their heater was covered by their home warranty, and I assured them it should be and they should call them immediately before they get to cold. (It … (27 comments)
After the storms the beginning of this year it is a good idea to be prepared for the next one. I have many clients who lost power for up to a week here in the City limits of Sacramento. Take some time to think what you would do without power and … (0 comments)
I'm angry! I'm sad! And I am tired of feeling this way EVERY winter! The news today reported a fire in Clay Township, where I live. A mobile home was destroyed, and the man inside was killed. These stories are all too common!The victim was a 79 year old man who was … (6 comments)
Its out of control, I have heard of people paying $3.40 from Petro as a high to $2.65 from Bottini as long as they prepaid for the season. I paid about $3.00 for a new construction fill up yesterday and my own home was at $3.04 last week.So with prices so … (3 comments)
Heres one for the Home Inspection / Pest control folks among us.

After an astonishingly wet and mild summer, Summer has decided to make an appearance here in the Austin area, and we've actually had a couple of days where the temps got up to 100. Given the humidity, staying inside in the air conditioning would appear to be the thought of the … (5 comments)
It was a hot one in Delaware, Ohio last Wednesday.I had a long to do list and among the items was to mow the weed field that was growing in my backyard. I finished my calls about 2 p.m. and headed out to mow the yard. Took less than 45 minutes … (13 comments)
Last Sunday my husband and I had decided to donate soccer balls to local children's soccer team. We bought 14 soccer balls, packed up our car with our three boys and a big chest full of ice and water. Now originally being from Texas I am used to some heat but, … (5 comments)
No I am not talking about the Real Estate Market here in Columbia, I am referring to the weather. As of Thursday the record high has fallen for 3 consecutive days. Over 10 people have been sent to the hospital with heat-related symptoms. Please try your best to stay cool and … (0 comments)
Here we are, in the shadows of the mighty Superstition Mountains, and I can actually go out on my deck and watch Mother Nature as she goes through her many moods~this includes the season right now that we are in, the so-called "monsoon" season. Sure there are afternoons and evenings that … (3 comments)
I was just watching CNBC and they remarked about how this Sunday there would be a heat wave throughout the nation. 98 in Chicago, 96 in NYC and 105 in Montana.This got me thinking about the potential buyers that would be out and about on Sunday going from open house to open house. … (5 comments)
It's summer time and as I'm sure you've noticed, the heat can be sweltering. 
They're back!!! Arizona Summer is here again. And its hot as, well you know. The good thing about it being summertime are valley pools; private, community, and also the water-parks here in Arizona. Kids can enjoy water-parks like Sun Splash, Big Surf, Water World as I did as a youngster. I have also noticed one … (0 comments)
When those hot summer days arrive, sometimes you just want to get a little relief. Many people in Los Gatos (and Silicon Valley or the San Jose area, generally) do not have air conditioning. So when the mercury climbs to 95 or 100 or higher, it's time to find a hideaway.Where … (1 comments)
Man is it hot down there. I mean it is Africa hot. Well here in Prescott the mercury is rising too. We are to hit the mid 90's. So I have a question for you as I am sitting in this open house. What do you do to keep cool in … (10 comments)

Attic VentilationAttic ventilation allows heat to escape from an attic in the summer and moisture to escape in the winter. Both are essential for roof warranties and to keep a house comfortable in hot weather. In general, new homes or homes with 10" of insulation in the attic will have ventilation … (0 comments)
