About Fayette County, KY

Recently my mother came to live with us. This in itself is a life-changing event for anyone. Our home is very small…big enough for my husband and myself, but strained at the seams when you bring in another person, her dog, and a big pile of their “stuff”. We gave her the room I had been using as an office, meaning my office had to be moved to the living room. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Well, I actively participate in 3 home businesses and keeping everything organized is vital. That said, it was an unholy mess around here. My house, as well as my brain, was full and cluttered! I couldn’t find anything…had no idea where to start to organize things, and as Kentucky’s only Feng Shui Master, I was definitely feeling pressure to get this house in shape! How unprofessional of me to live in such a mess!

Shanna came in, looked around and went right to work. She helped move furniture around for a better working area, organized my desktop, sorted through things to give to charity, and made me feel in control of my world once more. If it weren’t for her, I’d still be sitting in a pile of “stuff” wondering where to start.

I’m eternally thankful. I will recommend Shanna to all my clients…whether they think they need her or not. It’s amazing how much work I’ve been able to accomplish since she performed her miracle here. It never hurts to find a professional, and Shanna is at the top of her game.

She also works in Los Angeles!

The Jubilee Team is delighted to announce that the community service project was a huge success this weekend.

The Jubilee Team wishes a huge thank you to The Central Kentucky Volunteers

Thanks to a team of volunteers from the greater Central Kentucky area who braved the weather on Friday and then the huge turn out today we finished painting the interior of the house at 5:30 this afternoon.

I called the owner and she was bubbling with joy. This is an opportunity for her to start fresh another chapter in her life.

Her son's favorite color is green. He has been living in a dark

red bedroom since he was a baby. Now he has a freshly painted green room. I put a couple of men from Wilmore, David Cary and CA Post on painting the very red room. They stayed focused and had the playroom and bedroom mostly done by lunch time.

My dear friend, Mike Baldwin from Chick Fil A showed up just before noon with the hot chicken sandwiches and box lunches. Three cheers for Mike and Chick Fil A. We had a delicious lunch together and everyone went back to their tasks.

Tom Vines was a good sport and labored most of the morning and early afternoon all by himself in the utility room. Bill Cook and Phil Clark from Lexington finished the master bedroom and then helped with the utility room when Tom had to leave.

Darrell Kincer from Lexington spent most of his day working on the wall above the steps and helping finish trim in various locations. Darrell was one of the early arrivals and worked a long day.

Thanks Dan LaBar for filling in for Dorothy. Thanks especially for tackling that nasty masking tape that had melted into the drywall. Note to homeowners: Do not apply masking take and let it remain on the walls. Get it off the walls as soon as possible.

Paula Boycott was the loan female volunteer today. Paula thanks for putting up with all the guys. I am especially thankful that you stayed late and helped me clean up our big mess. Thanks also for discovering that water problem in the Kitchen.

master painters who conquered the tall cathedral ceiling. We could never have finished so quickly without your skill, bravery and tenacity. My ladder climbing days ceased a few years ago so I am most grateful for your assistance.

Yesterday we were graced with several employees of Bone Dry Roofing. Jade Marsh brought over three employees and they donated much of the afternoon. If you want a reputable roofing company with great standards and a terrific warranty you want to do business with Bone Dry.

Gary Fleck of Proven Learning was also able to volunteer his afternoon painting the bannister and the trim to the steps yesterday. Gary is also a great painter. He takes a task on and plows through until it is done with great care.

We could never have even begun this project without the moving crew early Friday morning and the cleaning crew that followed closely behind.

Andy Bathje and Brian Reenders from Confrontation Point in Wilmore and Michael Lawrence, my insurance agent, thanks for showing up at 7:30 Friday morning and getting all the furniture moved to the center of the rooms.

Robing Matlock and Gretchen Jacobs with an assist from Henry Paasonen did a fantastic job getting the walls and baseboards spruced up and ready to paint.

Besides having a great lunch from Chick Fil A we had the world's best cookies supplied in abundance by Nemi Paasonen. Nemi those oatmeal, raison and walnut cookies were priceless.

It is getting late and I am tired so I know I will miss a few people. I am most thankful for all of your help and that we were all kept safe.

Let us all pray for the families of the victims of the tornadoes and let us rejoice that we have the opportunity to help those who are in need.

Thanks again so much to all of Central Kentucky's greatest volunteers. You really are our Super Heroes.

Paul and Dorothy, The Jubilee Team

A Great Big Thanks to All our Clients who let us help them sell and buy their homes in 2012. Without you we would not have had the money to paint this house for a very dear family.

Saving Money can be Costly

When I moved to Lexington I bought a cheap grow mat and thermostat. I thought that since I was no longer farming I would not be growing much and could save some money.

Harris Seed is the Best Source

Three years later I am regretting that decision. The cheap mat was cheap. It was no longer working correctly. I went on line and found that the best price for the professional mat and the thermostat combination were at Harris Seed. You may need to give them a call. The mat did not show up when I did a search. 800-544-7938

Make sure you get the heavy red mat.

The professional mat you want to buy is the thick red mat. Watch this video to make sure you purchase the correct mat. It will last you a life time so the cost really is reasonable.

Teasing Buyers

The next few days the Jubilee Team will be teasing buyers just a little with some clues about a house that will be listed soon. The owner of this house has spent many years adding a variety of perennials and shrubs that give this home wonderful color. Here are a few photos that she has taken the past few years.

An Azalea Spectacular

Spectacular Azalea awaits the new buyer.

The blossoms on the azalea remind me of the old cabbage roses I used to grow near Seattle. These large azalea bushes are placed in front of large picture window to tantalize your senses during the spring.

FRAGRANT LILACS

Stargazer lillies are waiting for the new owner's enjoyment.

The pink lilac abounds with fragrant blossoms and is complemented by another large purple lilac (not pictured).

Pink lilac makes great ornamental for the yard but also terrific cut flowers to fill the home with sweet fragrance.

There will be more pictures of the flowers, trees and bushes in the next few days and of course in the listing.
