I haven’t written an ActiveRain blog post in almost a year…. because I’m not as much of a Realtor as I used to be…I was a FULL-TIME (and then some) Realtor for 8+ years.

As many of you know, I just got back to Florida after spending THREE WEEKS in Illinois.  (Obviously I'm not all that busy with work just yet...)  But, it was nice to be up there...

When Matt and I walked through our house yesterday we noticed there was a mistake in our master shower.  When we remodeled the bathroom in our first house, our two shower heads didn't turn out quite as planned, so we are determined to get this one right.  We're supposed to have two shower heads -...
