About Roanoke City County, VA

Boy! Al Gore and his Global Warming! You would think that after inventing the internet and all he would realize that he has done enough for the world....now I have come to realize he has also fixed Global Warming!

I hope you enjoy some of the pictures I took of Roaoke and Botetourt County VA this past week.

I don't know why but ever since I was a kid I never saw a barn I didn't like.

I know everyone is stressed out about the mountain of snow we are getting this year. Never in my lifetime have I ever seen this much snow in Virginia. Most are dealing with it rather well it seems. Luckily after most of the snows it warms up into the mid 30's and melts off of the roads.

Before the snow storm last weekend I bit the bullet and called my friends Scott and Jamie at Firestone Tire (774-7788), and told them I needed new tires for my truck. My tires had great tread for regular Roanoke VA weather but not for this mess! Within a less than an hour I had a new set of Bridgestone Dueler AT's on my truck...Today my home inspector, Blue Ridge Home Inspection (598-4474), called and was complaining about getting around in the snow so I sent him to Jamie and Scott....they had Tim fixed up in less than an hour with a new set of shoes for his Chevy Silverado.

We all hear the horror stories of mechanics and tire sales gone awry but I can assure you that I have bought probably a dozen sets of tires over the years from Jamie and Firestone and I have NEVER been treated better by any manager of any garage or tire shop.

So, if you need tires...stop in and see Jamie or Scott....tell them Damon sent you.....they will treat you right....that is my promise!

Extreme Staging...that is a new term I have given some of our recent staging projects. These projects have required a lot more than just decluttering and adding some new furniture and accessories. These projects have required that we determine what can be done to help the sellers realize the most money for their property in the least amount of time...maximizing their profits in an challenging market. Below are some before and after photos of our latest Extreme Staging Project. The photos speak for themselves.
