You may recall that a few months ago I posted about buying someone’s wheels and tires from their Toyota. I always find this is a great way to get new tires (and a new set of wheels) for about the price of new tires alone. Then I can sell my old wheels and end up getting new tires for about half price. Well, you may
There are a few things in life that cause a bit of a reaction in people. There’s the whole “Windows or Mac” thing, or “Republican or Democrat”, “Gay marriage or no gay marriage”, “Abortion or no abortion”. Obviously some of these are more serious than others. There is one other that springs to mind when we talk about opinions and that’s “homeowners association, or no
A large chunk of people’s wealth is tied up in their homes. There are lots of factors that affect home price and there are lots of things that you can do to increase your home’s value.

Okay, I need to come clean. I want a star next to my blog link on http://www.pfblogs.org. But, now that I’ve disclosed that there is something in this for me, I do need to tell you a little story about reading PF blogs. You see, I’ve been a little irrational about how I look for blogs to read. I tend to wander aimlessly around the
