I just have one question. Is mine bigger than yours? I know it's a crazy question, but a fair one! It's November now and winter is coming soon. The weather is changing and the leaves on the trees have gone from green to the beautiful bright colors of fall. If your area is like mine, here in Centennial, Colorado, most of the leaves on the trees and bushes have since left their branches and have fallen to the ground. This afternoon, I spent the better part of the day raking the fallen leaves. … (4 comments)

~ Singing in the Rain ~ As I write this post, I am exactly 100 points behind the leader for Aurora, Colorado and Arapahoe County.

colorado: Why Do I Need a Home Inspection? I'm Buying New Construction.
- 01/07/11 10:52 AM
~ Why Do I Need A Home Inspection? I'm Buying New Construction. ~ I have heard this often, "I am buying new construction. I don't need a home inspection." Buyers think that when they purchase a newly constructed home. they would be wasting money paying for a home inspection. That is far from the truth. Remember, builders are humans also. And humans can, and do make mistakes. Yes, the city and county inspectors do check the property. But it is a visual inspection and not as thorough as a home inspector goes through the house. A home inspector is an unbiased pair of eyes checking the mechanicals, … (8 comments)
