So busy and just enough time to do it all.   Have a Great Weekend! 09/18/2009

My weekend started sitting in the rain, watching high school football. Jesuit v. Holy Cross. It was not pretty but enjoyable none the same.  Yesterday I was lucky enough to watch the Mich v ND game. It was a good one. LSU v.Vandy, I watched this on as well. LSU pulled out a victory although I had my doubts but  I will take it. Ohio v USC a great game as billed. . Today the Saints will kick off @ noon. We never know what will happen here in New Orleans when the Saints are playing.  The entire weekend here in New Orleans has been nothing but RAIN. This won't matter the Saints are at home in the DOME. Its football season so enjoy a game. 09/13/2009

Moving to New Orleans The oldest church in New Orleans is the Saint Louis Cathedral. It is located in Jackson Square in the Heart of the French Quarter. St. Patrick's Catholic Church is the second oldest in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. New Orleans is rich with religious activity and learning. One such tradition is Mardi Gras. Believe or not Mardi Gras has its roots in religion. The region will celebrate Mardi Gras 2010 on February 16. Considering moving to New Orleans your thoughts may turn to your local catholic churches. A large amount of the local population are Catholics. Here is a list of all of the Catholic Parishes in Greater New Orleans.   09/09/2009

Customer Service I have a property which I am flipping. We were installing new granite countertops. My wife with her eagle eye caught a spot on the granite near the kitchen sink. This spot was discovered during installation. The contractor states he will work it and make it right. After several days and attempts we still were not happy. We owed $1300 dollars.  The contractor tells my wife he wants more money to exchange the granite. The slab of granite is a 9 foot run. So the cost is about $250 plus labor. Long story short, he exchanged the slab and did not charge any more money. The argument which the contractor created included no pay, lawyers and liens. He lost out on future business. At current we are in the bidding process of another property in Metairie, LA. I will be replacing th... 03/05/2009

Kenner / Destrehan LA Snow Day 2008 Snow is very rare in Southeast Louisiana. Today it snowed in Kenner LA, by mid morning the snow was starting to take. In other parts of the country they are asking what the big deal is. In Southeast Louisiana the big deal is most have not seen snow nor know how to operate in the snow. Most students stayed home and play, for that matter most adults were no shows at work. This was the earliest in recorder time that it has snowed in New Orleans. The last time it snow was Christmas Day 2004. Naturally it would snow the day I was planning to go Christmas Shopping. As the song goes Let It Snow! Merry Christmas     12/11/2008
