  When I spotted this vintage metal bank in an antiques store on Friday I had to have it.    It's a water heater!    How cool is that? How could a home inspector or real estate agent resist?   This vintage metal miniature Rex water heater bank is from the Cleveland Heater Co. of Cleveland, Ohio....

I know that many of you can pound out posts in short order and every so often a post of mine writes itself. But more often it takes me a couple of hours or more, or I get pulled into research and spend loads of time digging through web sites, watching videos, commenting on blogs, etc. Before I kn...

  Have you turned on the heat yet? Seems like just the other day that I was groaning about the heat and humidity.  In reality it was only two or three weeks ago. Now we've segued right into geez-I-wish-I-could-turn-on-the-heat-temperatures.  You gotta love New England weather. Every year I try t...

Before we segue into the season of posts about snowfall, blizzards and cold temps I've got to record my rant about this summer. It's the torturous summer that never ends.  It's September in a few hours and we're in the middle of another heat wave. "Oh, you don't need air conditioning," I tell buy...

In move-in condition, it's on the market for $529,000.     Set back from the street, the townhouse has views of historic Mount Auburn Cemetery on one side, and the Larchwood neighborhood on the other.  Insi...

A few years ago - three years this Fall to be precise - I had a maple tree planted in my front yard.   I'm a diehard treehugger but when I bought my old house one of the first things I did was take down three trees in the front yard - two live, one dead.  They were scraggly looking fir trees that...
