Green Home Appraisal Form.   If you are selling or buying a 'Green' Energy Efficient home then you might have to bring this form along and give it to your appraiser. Along with that you will want to give him a list of green features, date of work and cost.  The form is being offered as an optional addendum to Fannie Mae Form 1004 - the standard appraisal form for mortgage lending purposes that, according to the appraisal trade group, devotes limited attention to green home features. The Appraisal Institute recently released a three-page optional addendum form to the standard appraisal form Fannie Mae 1004. The new GREEN Form is called the Residential Green and Energy Efficient Addendum  and is meant to collect information about energy efficient and green features, such as insulation val...

Wilton CT 06897 Photo to Share January 2012 I was so impressed with the sunset and the power of watching it, so I had to take a picture to share.    (Taken with my iPhone) This is downtown Wilton, CT 06897 - taken from in front of the Village Market on the main street, named River Road, as it wanders along the Norwalk River.   Across the way is a building that used to be Center School, just 40 years ago, but now houses many local businesses, and has the Town Green and Town Gazebo in front.

Ah asparagus!  It is spring and those tender shoots are springing from the ground anxious to see the sun and feel the warmth.  The spring veggies are great for cleansing your body.  There are so many way to cook and eat asparagus.  I love it raw, roasted, marinated, in salads, soups, stuffing in chicken with goat cheese just to name a few. Here is a super easy recipe! Asparagus with Mustard Vinaigrette and Toasted Pecans 2 lb of Asparagus 3/4 Cup pecans Vinaigrette 1/2 Cut extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1 T prepared Mustard 1/8 t sea salt Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

Meet James Quarello - Inspector - in Wilton CT 06897! at my clients' inspection! A week ago, my clients needed to schedule an inspection here in Wilton on a condo/ single family home they had an accepted offer on.   I recommended several inspectors, then stopped them, and said, " Try James Quarello- I have read so much about him, and heard so many great stories about his work - I think he's the man for you!" James Quarello and I have gotten to know each other on Active Rain - through our blogging efforts, and a few phone conversations, - and we feel that we know each other pretty well. The clients called James Quarello, and he was simply fabulous!    Not only does he do a very detailed and lengthy report and inspection of every inch of the place, but he also was so clear in his explanat...
