Home Inspection Connection: December 2015
http://home-inspection-tallahassee.blogspot.com/2015_12_01_archive.html
A fun place to share information about home ownership and maintenance. Saturday, December 26, 2015. Beware of the DIY'er! A Dash of Honesty. I must confess that in the past I have fallen victim to three day binges of HGTV of which I resurfaced with an overwhelming desire to upgrade an area of my home. This was coupled with a new found confidence that I could manage the project on my own, complete it in only a couple hours, and remain well under budget. A Bit of Caution. When performing a home inspection.

A fun place to share information about home ownership and maintenance. Thursday, November 12, 2015. Decks, Family, and Food. The cool air is creeping in, and when it does I slowly begin to migrate outside to grill dinner for my family on the deck in the early evening.

So while your enjoying your deck, remember to ma...
