Real Estate Still Best Investment
I still think real estate is the best investment you can make in the United States. I don’t care what the doomsayers are saying about the housing market. The brokers are biting their nails to shreds, worried that they can’t get Americans to buy buy buy this year. I read some news story (sorry, I [...]

I haven’t heard a peep about the housing market from the media. Why do they go black on so many important issues? Anyway, I recently read an interesting article at MSN Money about remodeling versus moving. According to the article, “keeping up a home for 30 years may cost you up to four times its [...]

I don’t know a whole lot about the housing market, but like most other things, I figure such issues are easily understood with a healthy dose of common sense.

:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.
You can read more about us here, read up on the history of the home, and read about what we've renovated so far. Thanks for visiting!
