Can you say, TERMITES? Today there was a posting from JAY MARKANICH  about brick walls leaking and the damage that can occur if that happens.  Jay inspired me to post a photo I took last week in Salado, TX just north of Sun City Texas, in Georgetown.  Whenever I see a condition like this I think of my home inspector frineds and imagine what fun they must have have when they get to to inspect a property with obvious issues. Not all issues with homes are so obvoius.  Get your home inspected, by a trained, licensed, and competent home inspector. It's some of the best money you can spend for peace of mind. Brian RuggSunn City Texas Homes For Sale. 12/23/2016

The Home and Garden TV Effect  Like it or not, TV shows can shape expectations and emotions. Having conducted an unscientific survey recently at social gathering, it seems even people who "don't watch HGTV" still recognize favorite shows and hosts.
