Build It And They Will Come. Build It And They Will Come. OK, I didn't build it but Construct it and they will come or put it together and they will come just doesn't have the same ring to it. One of those thing I bought at a rummage sale years ago and never put to use (until this year) was a pol...

Those limits range from NO signs to signs for only the first two weeks of the listing. I do not believe there is a size restriction as I have even seen 4' X 8' Fo...

The Mouse is Runnuing Wild, Minot ND is in DANGER! In 1969 much of Minot ND was under water thanks to The Mouse River running amok through the City. I wasn't here but I've seen the pictures and it wasn't good. I believe the house I am living in now was mostly under water. In 1971 the City spent m...

A New Affordable Listing In Minot ND It's refreshing to find a new listing in Minot North Dakota that is under $150,000 and is not a "Fixer-Upper". Minot ND is in the 3rd year of a sever housing shortage. Minot is a City of 40,000 people with the next largest City being over 100 miles away. The h...
