  Would having two separate bathrooms save your relationship?  Oh how many times do you wish he would just go use another bathroom and stay out of yours? LOL well help may be in your future. Dual master bathrooms are trending, according to the National Association of Home Builders. It’s not just for the 1% anymore.  Some builders have floorplans that have just that, dual master bathrooms, and... they are in the "affordability range" For buyers who want a little more privacy and space, separate baths might be just the ticket.  So before you start planning the demise of your significant other, there may be another solution to bring harmony back into the home.

The roof of your home serves one major purpose, and that is to be a barrier against the weather outside.  Roof Flashing is the sheet metal or other durable material that protects roof joints from penetration from the elements outdoors. The most difficult weather element to control is water, and roof flashing acts as the last line of defense against water leakage.  You will find flashing in the following locations:• Roof valleys• Roof and plumbing vents• Around chimneys• Along eaves• Anywhere else water can seep through openjoints into the roof sheathing The flashing’s edges are sometimes sealed with caulk or roof cement. Flashing is key to keeping your roof watertight. You can avoid repair to and replacement of your entire roof when you stop a leak by simply re-caulking a dried out flas...

If there is a deep freeze warning for your area tonight and the next few days and nights as it is in many areas across the Nation, you may be at risk for some major monetary expenditures if you don't do this one simple thing. Last year, we had a freeze that caused many homes to have pipes that burst. Take simple action now to prevent damage, expecially if you are a new homeowner. What is it?  Turn the water on.  That's right, kitchen and bathrooms, turn the water on to a "slow drip".  It will stop the water inside from freezing expanding and ultimately bursting.  So before you go to bed tonight, before you leave for work tomorrow, start a drip, drip, drip.  You'll be glad you did.   If you are a Realtor that has a vacant listing, you might want to run by your listings and turn the fauce...

 Rentals have increased for the 5th consecutive year and apartment demand continues to rise.  A rise in apartment construction isn’t likely to offer relief to tenants anytime soon either as rents will continue to rise.  Many renters may want to buy a home, but are unable to purchase a home due to poor credit scores, excessive debt and tighter credit conditions banks are continuing to impose that are preventing them from obtaining financing. Apartment rents continue to rise with the national average rent up 12 % to about $1,083  since  2009, however incomes among renters reportedly have fallen. Will a stronger job market push more people out of living with their parents or being roommates and increase rental demand?  Or will people realize the value of homeownership, and take the time t...

  While this isn't new news for many, it will be for some. You normally won't hear about it until after they announce a military pay cut on the evening news. Budget cuts are required in every area across the nation.  But why is it that when the military is forced to reduce costs, it appears our military members are hurt the most.  TriCare costs keep going up, housing is becoming privatized and members are continually told to do more with less. Meanwhile behind the scenes what you have is the Joint Chiefs of Staff literally trying to persuade Senators that the risk of reduced military readiness can be avoided by reducing or rather putting a pay cap on the the military members pay, so they may instead spend the military budget on weapons systems, ships, planes and equipment. All seven are...
