I was driving along Vickery Blvd. in Fort Worth's west side yesterday and couldn't help but to stop in the Swiss Pastry Shop for a piece of their famous black forest cake. If you have never tried some, you owe it to yourself to do so! It has to be the most awesome desert I have ever had. My sister turned me on to it years ago and I have always requested it to be my birthday cake. I have also bought it for others and people just love me for it. I'm not much on sweets, but this is different in my opinion. It is just sweet enough without being over powering, but the thing I love so much about it is the fact that the "cake" portion of the cake is very light and is actually crunchy, so it doesn't give you that filled up feeling. I'm also not a chocolate nut, but it has just enough shaved on the top.
Go by a try some, you'll be glad you did.....if not, just call me and I'll be glad to take it off your hands! Well...I have to go now and do more "research" on this subject! Mmmmmm

I was doing a little painting today and thought I would pass along a little trick that I do to all new paint cans that I open. It only takes a minute and saves a lot of aggravation. Who hasn't tried to open a paint can that was previously opened after sitting a long time and the can's lid is glued shut with old paint? All you do is take a large nail and punch holes around the bottom lip of the can about one inch apart. This way, the paint that gets in the can's lip will simply drip back into the can...viola! No more stuck lids!

I was inspecting a crawlspace of a home in an older neighborhood and while I was crawling around under the bathroom area, I kept feeling something strange under my body......not exactly dirt or a liquid but slippery. To my surprise as I shined my flashlight around me, I realized that I was lying on a thick bed of literally hundreds of double edge razor blades! I carefully rolled off them and took this picture. The ones you can see are the ones that slid down the small hill, there were many more above on the flat area. I have always heard about the slot in the rear of old medicine cabinets that people used to deposit used razor blades, but never ran into this before. There is no telling how many of these blades were in the wall cavity that didn't make their way to the crawlspace floor. I am always careful to suit up with the proper protective clothing with gloves included, but this will prompt me to make sure I get my tetanus shot updated. They say every 10 years, I'm sure it's been longer. When customers ask why I charge extra for pier & beam homes, I mention spiders, snakes, possums and pesticides. Now I can add another danger....razor blades!
Home Inspection....it's a dangerous job, but somebody's gotta do it!
I provide complete and thorough home inspection services in the DFW area. I believe spending time with the customer after the inspection is the most important part of the inspection process.

If you have been shopping around for a home inspector, you are probably finding it
difficult to tell what to look for in a good inspector. Here are some questions you
should consider asking a potential inspector, also check out my frequently asked
questions page.
issues three tiers of licenses to inspectors. Apprentice, Real Estate Inspector
and the highest level, Professional Inspector, which is the level I hold.
inspector can obtain a license without any inspection experience.

area or inspect under the house if it has a pier and beam foundation?
of continuing education per year? A good inspector will attend as many
continuing education classes as possible to sharpen their skills. They should
also be a member of an inspector association such a NACHI that requires
extra education requirements
And most of all
Do not choose an inspector based on price! This can be a very costly mistake. You
are making a huge investment in a house and need a good home inspection, not a
cheap one. With the high costs of insurance, gasoline and other costs involved, the
home inspection business is expensive. My prices are comparable for this area and if
someone quotes you a much cheaper price, you should be suspicious. Not all home
inspectors are the same and saving twenty five or fifty dollars on an inspection
should not be the deciding factor on something as important as a home purchase.
The average cost of a home inspection in the USA is $380.00 (USA Today...Friday,
January 13,2006) just to give you an idea of what you should expect to pay. As we all
know, you get what you pay for. Cheap inspections usually involve the inspector
spending only one to two hours on the home. My inspections involve three to four
hours inspecting with an hour generating the report with digital photos.
