Today we celebrate our historic leaders whom have held the highest seat in office and served their time as Commander in Chief to our great nation.

Originally known as “Washington’s Birthday”, today we celebrate our Presidents and some of their iconic quotes:

“Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” – Theodore Roosevelt

“The American Dream means giving it your all, trying your hardest and accomplishing something.” –  George H.W Bush

“We did not come to fear the future. We came here to shape it. ” – Barack Obama

Planning the perfect Valentine’s Day can bring on a little pressure to put something together that your partner will appreciate. Especially because the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has added another layer of planning and made it even more difficult to have a memorable time.

However, we have a few ideas for a well-planned and enjoyable 2021 Valentine’s Day.

1. Sip and Paint – You may remember the pre-pandemic activity that involved painting and drinking with a group of friends. Recreating this at home is easy and simple and finding an image to paint can be done on any video platform with an instructor.
2. Take a long drive – Fill up that gas tank, pack some snacks and head on out for the day. You can stop at enjoy a picnic at a local park or sit in the back and watch the sunset. Whatever you choose, just enjoy some time outside
3. Take an online cooking class- One positive thing that this shutdown has brought is the amount of classes and services offered online now. Sign up for a cooking class and show us what you got.

We hope you got some inspiration and are now able to plan and enjoy the perfect day.

Before selling your property it is highly recommended that you conduct a proper inspection of the home to ensure that at the time of putting your home on the market all items of interest from the buyer will have been taken care of.

Four-point inspections identify key areas that most commonly result in insurance claims. If a home fails all or part of the inspection, the inspector will go over what needs to be fixed or replaced to alleviate deficiencies.

These areas include the electrical wiring and panel, HVAC system, plumbing and roof condition.

Not to be confused with a buyers or new home inspection, this inspection is solely for the eligibility of your home to meet that criteria of a desirable property.

It’s that time of year again, when two teams battle it out for the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy. This year’s match-up will consist of returning champs Kansas City Chiefs and newly invigorated Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

History will be made Sunday night as the Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, was only 6 years old the first time he saw Tom Brady play in the championship game. Now he will lead his team in a match that’s sure to be intense until the final second.

Not only does the game include some eye catching statistics, but this football holiday is also a record setter in snacks. Every year on this day more than 11 million pounds of potato chips are consumed, as well as 8 million pounds of guacamole. Topping out the top snack of the day is chicken wings, with an impressive 100 million pounds consumed in the US alone!

Who do you think will take the win? What’s your favorite Game Day Treat?

Tune in Sunday February 7^th at 3:30 PM PST/PDT to watch the big game.

The sunshine has mostly gone away and the leaves have all fallen from the trees, which can only mean that we are solidly in the coldest part of the year. But what to do if the snow is miles away or you’re snowed in? Well, we have some weekend plans for you that may check some things off your list.

1. Something simple and free is to rearrange your living area or bedroom. Going through your shelves and drawers to clean and organize is not only satisfying but something we have all at times put aside for months or years.
2. Pick up a hobby that won’t cost you any additional money to do, for instance…cooking. You already have to grocery shop, so why not add flare and try cooking something up that you’ve always wanted to taste.
3. Binge watch a series that you self-noted you wanted to see. Make it exciting by having popcorn, snacks and your favorite beverage.
4. Have a virtual party! Now that we have all become experts in digital celebrations, why not have another to start the weekend off right. Sharing laughter and smiles will make any day better and we can do it from the comfort and safety of our home.

Let us know some of your favorite winter weekend ideas!

How old is your roof and is it needing some care and updating?  There are various signs of roof leaks, and things you can do to help avoid further damage. 

Do you know if you have a small roof leak? There are various signs you can look for, both interior and exterior. Interior signs to look for include mold, dampness, or stains on ceilings or walls.  You should also look for bubbles in the paint or water stains.  Exterior signs can be safely checked from the ground using binoculars. Check for missing, torn, or cracked shingles or areas of gutter drooping or overflowing. If you do spot the signs of a roof leak, call a roofing specialist to identify the source of the leak and make repairs. 

To prevent future leaks, it’s important to have your roof routinely inspected and maintained by a professional roofing contractor.  Always make sure gutters are free of clutter and debris and flowing cleanly, and cut back any overhanging trees that could damage your roof in a storm.
