In Arizona we are approaching the annual monsoon season. Monsoons can bring sudden rain bursts and at times high winds. In order for trees to be safe during the winds, it is important to be sure they are trimmed and kept "airy" so the winds can go through the branches. Top heavy trees are in danger of being pushed over by the winds, causing potential damage to homes, landscaping and pools. To read more about the Arizona monsoons, and ways to adequately trim trees, check out our blog on Benjamin.com.
On May 1, 2009 the rules for home appraisals changed and are now handled through a third party. Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC) was implemented by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Code is based on an agreement between the Enterprises (FNMA and FHLMC), the New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo and FHFA to improve the reliability of home appraisals.The revised Code builds on already existing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac seller-servicer guidelines to increase the reliability of appraisals for loans sold to the Enterprises for their portfolios or for securitization. The Code applies to lenders that sell single-family mortgage loans to the Enterprises beginning May 1, 2009.
People who live in the Phoenix Arizona area and who like fresh pork products are known to drive, even if it takes more than an hour, to get to a place called The Pork Shop. Located in Queen Creek Arizona at 3359 E Combs Road this is a shop that cuts all of its own product.
The business has been around since 1979 and was established by a long time hog farmer. They brown sugar cure and hickory smoke their bacon and hams in their own smoke house. The place sells pork in every cut and possible form. There are always samples on hand. And if you are hungry and want to eat right now, they have a menu and outside sitting.
