This is a story of installing an attic fan.  During a home inspection last week, we came across this attic fan.  I'm getting ahead of myself. In the kitchen, we noted the bad install of the microwave oven.  Whomever did it, did not know what they were doing.  We didn't think about the missing range hood until later; when we went into the attic. I know you have already guessed what we found, but here is the proof: A re-purposed Attic Fan! I wasn't sure this would qualify for Wordless Wednesday because I had to confirm for you that this was plugged in! When installing an attic fan, use approved materials only! 04/16/2012

This Anaheim Hills condominium complex called Windwood Cresthill was built in 1973 over the course of 3 years. This unique development has some great features for homebuyers and sellers. Each building has 4 units, 2 units are 2 bedroom 1 bath, and the other 2 units are 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths.   The 2 bedroom units in Windwood Cresthill have a distinct advantage to other condos because no one is below, or above you. The 2 bed units are available in single level only. One of the 2 bed units are built on ground level and the other 2 bed unit is upstairs, both have a private patio however, the downstairs unit patio is slightly larger. One advantage of the ground unit is that it has a common wall with the attached garage. I know some have added a garage entry directly into their ground le... 04/11/2012

Anaheim Hills Homes      For Sale vs Sold Not all homes are for sale, sell!  The biggest reason for homes not selling is of course the Price. If you list the house over market value, if will not sell. The second biggest reason homes don't sell is because the seller is not motivated to sell. We can bring him a great offer with great terms, but he may not.   So here is a chart that shows what happened to homes in the last 4-5 months, October 11-March 2012:     Find out the value of your home!   04/08/2012

Almost 2.6million of Shadow Inventory To Be Resolved.   For the past few years, we have been hearing that the pile up of foreclosed shadow inventory is to hit the market. We have been waiting.  If all the inventory hits the market at once, it will drive the prices of the homes even lower and actually create more foreclosures, as many of the sellers will not be able to sell at lower prices, as their loan amounts are already higher than the home values!   By reducing the amount of shadow inventory flooding the market, it give the traditional seller more chance to sell their homes at already low prices.   Here is also a glimpse of what is happening to the so called Shadow Inventory:       If the foreclosure inventory stay low on the market, the better the chances are for the traditional ho... 03/16/2012

 Controlling Your Destiny A few years ago, I discovered the fresh pasta available at the grocery store.  I’ve been completely addicted to it ever since.  I tried their ready-made sauces and realized I could do much better myself.  I’ve been making my own tomato sauce ever since.  When I recently explained how heavily I spice my sauce, a trusted friend pointed out the hidden sugars in the ingredients I was using, speculated I was spicing to cover up the artificial sweetness  and recommended I try other sources for my tomato sauce.  The same friend taught me how wonderful it is to cook with fresh garlic.  I proved how poorly I paid attention to HOW the garlic was being used last weekend when I made up another batch of my sauce.  I put one clove of diced garlic into the sausage and fried i... 03/04/2012
