What I Learned This Week at ActiveRain-November 10 to November 16, 2019

 

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain! With this series, I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or the other professions that I never knew, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice! 

 

alan mayNovember 10: Alan May It's all smoke and mirrors, people

If you're not familiar with Alan's quirky and fun sense of humor mixed with what really is, then you'll want to head over to his post.

This is an excellent post by John that should help anyone trying to consider building a custom home or buying one that is pre-owned.
