As the months continue to fly by, soon we will be celebrating a new year. Real estate has been the topic of more media coverage than we can even begin to discuss and the "poor housing market" has been blamed for all sorts of troubles in the financial world. In the end though, 2007 has been a pretty good year. There are companies and agents across the country having a phenomenal year, sales are up and business is good!

11/23/2007 Thank You for This Old House
|
|
There's a leaking toilet tank thing-a-mabob (the official do-it-yourselfer name for it) downstairs in the bathroom where I have also discovered a leak either from the outside wall (or a pinhole leak in the wall) that is ruining the vanity. Meanwhile, I'm in the middle of my 2-week job on laying out laminate flooring on my whole main level -- I'm on the 9th week.

I was on a chat board where I sometimes pick up clients and I will tell you what the chat is about around the holidays: nobody knows how to cook, and everybody hates their mother-in-law.
