Labor Day Porch Check!
Labor Day is around the corner - don't let the last hurrah of summer be a day of regret. Before you invite the neighborhood over for a good time, make sure your deck, porch, balcony, etc., are up to snuff!
Splitting Wood
Wobbly Guardrails
Missing Anchors or support beams
Excessive movement when you walk over the deck

Don't Leave Any Money On The Table!
The Stimulus Package and the $8,000 tax credit it provides is set to disappear at the end of 2009! You don't want to lose out on a chance to get free money - and this is as close to an inheritance as many of us will ever get. If you haven't owned a house in three years or more, now is the time to take the plunge. Interest rates are as good as they've ever been, and with all of this incredible inventory, there's no reason not to find the home of your drreams!
