Nancy in Mich- Question for you!( If you don't mind)
Comments (6)Hi, what a surprise to see my name up there in the headline! I know what you mean about Craigslist and News ads. A big zero, unless you count the nuisance calls about somebody wanting to offer you 25% below the value of your house, or a mortgage guy wanting you to put signs in your yard. The FSBO sites always seemed to be a real rip-off, too. DH was saying just this evening that he has learned that during such a slow-down, you need an agent to represent your house so that other agents will show it. In a good market you may not need to participate in the REA system, but in our market, you need the exposure. Then again, we don't know that it would have sold last year if we had not waited until August to enlist an agent. We were FSBO for March-July. Who can really know? You make your choices and take your chances and don't look back. My agent is with Century 21 Town and Country: Tom Farago Clinton Township Office: 586-286-9548 Direct: 586-201-6265 Tom has done the open houses and put us in the C21 book they give away in grocery stores. They are not buying ads in the papers. I really cannot judge if these are missed or not! Tom had been calm and willing to change pictures if I asked. He knows the area well, having been a Mt. Clemens High School teacher for many years. He has sold a few houses during this drought. I like him personally, just don't know enough about what a real go-getter would be doing to market the house in this climate to judge his work. My good news is we have some interest in the house. A nurse I know at a nursing home I visit for work told me that two of her coworkers were looking in our neighborhood. I dropped off two copies of my old fliers, crossing off the old info and putting Tom's info there instead. One of the nurses wants to lease for a year, then buy. Tom says that he does have info on these kinds of deals, so if we get an offer from her, we will sit down with him to learn about it, then hire an attorney to look at the contract he uses (Tom would be representing both the buyer and us). Someone represented by another realtor viewed the house tonight, it may have been the other nurse. We are holding our breath!...See MoreGreetings to you all! Question for you..
Comments (3)If you have a WalMart nearby (and who doesn't!) they sell Black and Decker Glass and Tile bits in a 4 pack for around $10. These are the best bits to use. HD sells them for around $17, and I get them to price match plus 10%, so I get them for $9! woohoo. Anyway, use the next to the smallest bit (can't recall the size). If your cup is really china, it will take ages to drill a hole. Use drops of water to cool the bit and go S-L-O-O-O-W. If it's just ceramic it should drill fast. I'd suggest using one of the bigger bits on another piece until you get the hang of drilling, to save your bit for the one you're going to do. I'm not sure about cutting the cup. Maybe if you have a glass shop they could do it? I've seen it done with glass on a band saw type of set up, but never china, and never a tea cup. I HAVE seen tea cups that were cut in half and made into night lights, just don't have a clue as to how they did it!...See MoreQuestion for you Hoyaholics
Comments (13)Back by popular demand! Since Tika asked me to post a video of my trellising, I made one this morning. I used old hydrangea stalks from last years growth. It's certainly not pretty, but for now it will work. Once I get to the store I'll p/u some more appropriate stakes and do it right. I don't think the plants will mind either way, but for purely aesthetic reasons, it will look better when they're brought inside in another few months. hope you enjoy the video. BTW - there's a shot of another noid at the end, maybe a guess on the name? Get your popcorn, Good & Plentys, sit back and enjoy,,,, https://youtube.com/shorts/xULHvJQP3sA?feature=share...See MoreQuestion for you architects/builders - what is this called?
Comments (5)Some folks may call it a roof whatchamacallit...! Actually, there are two elements illustrated by your photo: 1) A masonry corbel at the point where the wall structure connects to the overhanging roof soffit; and 2) A change in pitch for the lower element of the roof. Since the roof structure is supported by rafters, there really is no purpose for the single masonry corbel on one wall, except for decoration. Corbels, by definition and historically, are load bearing. Obviously, a single corbel in a wall cannot support an extended roof line....See More
