Bring Us Your Tired, Your Broken,
Your Neglected Distressed Homes!
One man's nightmare is another
mans dream.
Great post.
Definitely worth a Re-Blog and a follow.
As a Home Inspector, I run into a lot of components and systems around the house that are just in need of a little tender lovin' and care and really aren't that big of a deal. There's so many Inspectors out there that make mountains out of mole hills. I've always believed that a little TLC can bring things back to their original luster with just a right state of mind, a pair of good, quality … (2 comments)

Buyers Beware!
Drainage Issues Can Be A Deal Breaker

LA mayor calls for mandatory quake
retrofit of concrete, wood building
I'm not at all surprised to see this taking place in Los Angeles. In fact if anything it's long overdue.

Soon after Ventura, Santa Barbara and even San Diego followed suit.
I was surprised that Orange County didn't embrace the opportunity but then the aforementioned Counties are … (8 comments)
