Harris, MN

That is what my thermometer says and it isn't in the sun either.

We had 14-16 inches of wet snow about 9-10 days ago and today it is running down the driveway.

It has been a strange year. Some say global warming. Some say climate change. What I know for sure is that it is warm and I am getting some early spring work done.

Oh and as far as my wife's snow man her and my grand daughter built last week...

I run into this a lot especially from the older gen.

"It has been good enough for us for 30 years, it is good enough!

Yes, that may be true, but it isn't 'good enough' to attract today's buyers at the price you think it is worth.

Many people live with an issue that has been there for years and think nothing of it. many times it is even a code violation or even dangerous.

Making sure that everything is up to snuff is very important if you want your price. That is why I am telling you this.

You are asking my opinion and I base that opinion on the comments from my clients. You can listen to your neighbor or you can listen to me and sell your home for as good a price as we can get.

The choice is yours!

I have some down time today so I am doing some housework. I am cleaning my desk! (Sorry ladies)

I have been throwing out a lot of old papers, magazines and a bunch of stuff just making a mess. I even grabbed a pile of Birthday Cards I got this year. I mean, what do you do with the cards after a few days. I know people who save all of them in boxes. WHY?

Oh well, it is their space they are cluttering up.

I was reading some of them and got one that I know many will find amusing. It is that kind of a day. I get a lot of Nature cards and this is one could be me right on the front cover...

I really do hate when this happens!

We have a mild cold spell here in Minnesota right now, but it is to warm soon.

But, next week another cold snap is coming forward. Below temps are expected and there are alot of concerns.

Pets

Septics

Water lines

Some plants.

If you have to prepare for the worst...now is the time to get on it. After the cold is gone will be to late.

My wife put in a lot of hard work.

I am the grunt and she is the Mastermind.

The decorations took a long time this year as we were unindated with all kinds of issues outside of our own home.

But, with just a few presents to wrap, we are sitting good. In a few days, we we have this room full of Love and Laughter along with 20+ bodies waiting for the fat guy to arrive.

Then when it is over we shall colapse inexhaustion with smiles on our faces!
