A Bellingham MA home buyer should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Facts for Consumers Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase.A standard home inspection in Massachusetts is a visual examination of the physical structure and major interior systems of a residential building consisting of one to four dwelling units. It should be understood that there are certain risks inherent in the purchase of property and a home inspection is inherently limited in its scope and depth.

I was not feeling that good old holiday cheer and thought some snow would help. I should'nt have said that because the Law of Attraction was listening and sent a blizzard to New England the day after Christmas.  We got a foot of snow here in Bellingham, MA. Not to be outdone the Law of Attraction has now conspired with Mother Nature and we are in the midst of a second Blizzard of the season. Total so far? 15 inches and still falling.   Dude where's my grill? 3 hours later:   Dude, seriously, where's my grill?   Thank God for condo living! We won't be breaking out backs trying to shovel out of this mess. And to dear Mother of Nature and her cohort the Law of Attraction- YOU WIN   01/12/2011

Here's what you need: 2 cups Cooked Ham 2 cups Pasta 2 cans cream of whatever soup (I used mushroom but celery would probably be delicious too) 2 cups of milk 1/4 cup grated parmesan fresh cracked black pepper to taste Here's what I did: Chopped up the left over ham in bite sized pieces (I'm saving the bone f... 01/11/2011
