Are you looking for an inexpensive way to hide those nasty utility boxes? I purchased a 4 x 8 piece of lattice and a 4 small metal posts at Lowes. Then I ripped it down to 3 feet, the height of the boxes, dog earred the corners to "soften" the look, and attached it with cable ties. Total cost less than $20!!!hiding utility boxeshiding utility boxes

I've built three homes over the last 10 years. Something I've always found to be helpful is to take photos of all interior walls after the wiring and plumbing are roughed in.

Whether you are look for a wall stud to hang a picture or trying to find a way to add wiring for a flat screen, I've found these to be invaluable and hope you do too.

To blog or not to blog?

To blog or not to blog, that is the question;

Whether it is most cost effective

To blog for Google juice,

Or use the pay per clicks to raise your seo,

And by opposing, both. To do open houses;

No more internet; and by open houses

We mean the heart ache of sitting countless hours

Waiting for the perfect buyer

Who belongs to no one. Perfect credit, to close in a fortnight;

To purchase, perchance to dream. Ay, there's no contingencies,

For in the closing of escrow,

When we have transferred title and all is done

Must give us pause: There's the check!

That makes sense of a Realtor's life.
