  Builders of new homes offer or are required to warrant their work for a specified period.  Municipal inspections are generally required during different stages to "ensure the life, health, safety, and welfare of the public" but even if something is missed, the ultimate responsibility for building to code belongs to the builder, even if the municipal inspector misses something. There are four basic stages of residential construction including: The foundation stage begins with excavation, footings, foundation walls or slab, waterproofing, backfill, compaction and underground rough plumbing and electricity.  Municipal inspections are done prior to pouring the foundation while items are visible. The framing stage includes the wood or steel framing, exterior walls and roof sheathing, exter... 06/10/2023

Preparing for an "internet apocalypse" or a widespread disruption of the internet can be challenging, as it heavily depends on the nature and scale of the disruption.

Door County Home and Cottages for Sale:  12724 Highway 42, Ellison Bay/Gills Rock WI 54210Walk to the WaterfrontI'm going to start this post with the comment that we rarely have homes this old come on market in northern Door County.  So many of our historic homes from early days have been torn down to make way for bigger, newer homes.  It seems as though every few years I'm lucky enough to get inventory like this for Door County home buyers.  This one is truly a gem!The main house at 12724 Highway 42 has all of the charm you'd expect from a home built in 1900 (yes, that 123 years ago!) with hardwood floors, built-in cabinets, a lovely wood burning fireplace and so much more.  The front porch just invites you to sit and watch the seasons go by.  There are four bedrooms and two baths.Over... 06/10/2023

June 11 is National Corn on the Cob Day, which is a great excuse to grill up some mouth-watering corn on the cob. Smothered with butter and a light dusting of fresh ground pepper and kosher salt, eating corn on the cob is like enjoying a party in one's mouth. It's easy to barbecue corn on the grill-simply pull down the leaves and cut off the corn silk, then push the leaves back on to cook it on the grill. It seems to take about 15-20 minutes on the grill at our house.  Preparation can be done the same way, then placed in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel. It takes 5-7 minutes per cob in our microwave. Using oven mitts, squeeze the base of the cob to push the cooked corn free of the leaves, then butter, season and enjoy. Be sure to check your own grill and microwave to adjust ... 06/10/2023

In last week's ActiveRain zoom, we showed a couple different case studies to illustrate how using a spreadsheet could be a very useful tool. I have recorded one of the case studies, "Shopping for a Laptop" so that you can playback the tutorial when you have a little time to watch. The video tutorial is 20 minutes long.In this video tutorial, we look at some very useful Excel essentials. After we fill in the item description and price, then we look at how to add the sales tax. This requires using a formula. Don't worry, it's very easy once you see how. In formulas, we can add/subtract/multiply and divide to get results.In the case of sales tax, we'll create a formula to multiply the price times the sales tax rate.Once you have the formula created, you can quickly replicate it to the othe... 06/10/2023

Do you know what's going on behind the scenes in real estate today?  Only one of my clients has brought up the topic of this class action suit to me over the past few months, even though we, as REALTORS, are watching this very, very intently.  Buzz does an EXCEPTIONAL job of explaining the lawsuit and how it will change things, as well as how we moved away from the practice of being solely Seller agents.  The graphics do an excellent job of explaining how this will ultimately hurt Buyers (especially first-time home buyers) and even Sellers.  We are hoping common sense prevails, but this is a great read.  I am also an Accredited Buyer Representative under the National Association of REALTORS, so if you want to discuss this matter and other facets of the Door County, Wisconsin real estate... 06/10/2023
