We were going to a New Years Eve party at a friends house last night. Small get together with a few neighbors. Two hours before the party, our host called an asked us if we could bring a dip and chips, she forgot to get something at the store. No problem. I throw together my old standby football ...

Inspecting new homes is always interesting. First we have to overcome the objections of the builders that insist they build a "perfect house".
