For starters is the legend of Boston’s Skinny House, followed by a quirky boot-shaped house in Pennsylvania and a Florida “home sweet home” for a dentist’s inspiration. Skinny House: A narrow dwelling with mile-wide malice. According to local legend, Boston’s Skinny House was built out of pure spite. The over 100-year old Skinny House is located across from the historic Copp’s Hill Burying Ground in Boston’s North End. The residence is so narrow—just over 10 feet at the widest—that the main entrance had to be placed in the alley between the house and its neighbor. One local legend has it that the late 19thcentury house was deliberately built to block ... 11/26/2013

Budget Friendly Fall Decor   We love Halloween but hate spending tons of money on decorations. This year, don’t waste money on big blow-up Halloween decorations for your front yard. Instead, use these clever ideas and your crafty skills to make one-of-kind decorations. You’ll be the envy of the neighborhood, and save a lot of money!   Scarecrow   Greet trick-or-treaters with a scarecrow mascot. Give it a personality to match your style: scary or friendly, male or female, casual or formal. Use lumber to create the body: a 2×4 for the main post, a 1×4 for the shoulders and four more 1x4s for the arms. Use wood glue and fasteners to secure the elbow joints. A dried or plastic gourd will last longer than a fresh one and a scarf is the perfect accessory to cover up any unsightly handiwork. ... 10/17/2013
