Oceanfront
Posted on July 10, 2008 - Filed Under This Town, building | Leave a Comment
There’s a lot of ‘planning’ going on in this town lately in regards to the town owned oceanfront property along Water Street all the way down as far as Bunkers Island. Are those tanks on Bunkers even in use any more?
Some speculate that we’re going to get a mega yacht dock, others claim a [...]
Home Inspections
Posted on June 25, 2008 - Filed Under building | 1 Comment
Even though the house we bought was new, we still had a home inspection done before we signed the papers. While it wasn’t really needed for a new house we still felt it was a good idea. If buying an older home I’d think it would be absolutely necessary to make sure everything [...]

Some things about this new store confuse me. The electrical system was all redone less than 2 years ago and some other renovations were done at the same time. For instance, there are some network jacks in the walls in a couple of places, but some of them don’t work. I assume [...]

Lots of construction still going on around here and I still haven’t been able to figure out where all this money is coming from. There’s a new apartment block almost completed across the road from the new Justice center so for about a week the road was half blocked by those lift trucks as [...]

I spent a couple hours today cleaning up my work area. I had put some shelves on the wall not too long ago so that helped with the space problems. Now it’s more of a height problem. The counter is too low to work at standing up and too high to work [...]

I’m glad winter is finally gone. Whenever we get really cold weather here, the deadbolt on our front door at home freezes shut and no amount of lock de-icing helps to break it. I have to take it apart from the inside dry it all out with a hair dryer and then everything [...]

It was announced yesterday that Yarmouth will be getting a new High School by 2011. The current one was built in 1951 and is in need of some renovations. After looking at the cost to renovate and expand the existing building, it was decided that an entirely new school was a better option, [...]

I’ve almost got the back ‘office’ area cleaned out. Finally, after 2 months! I’ve got too much stuff for this little store I guess. I keep saying that, but it’s true! The deal was just too good to pass up though so we’ll make do. I plan to put in a [...]

Another thing I like about this new store is that it’s nice and bright inside. I do like our color scheme where we are though, rose red walls and green pillars, but it does make things a little darker overall. The new store had been renovated about a year ago though, complete with [...]

So we’ve decided that we’re definitely going to move but the location hasn’t quite been finalized as of yet. Most likely it will be just two doors down though, where Crosby’s Florists used to be and most recently Computers R Us. After taking a look around inside, I like the overall layout. [...]

One of the biggest problems we have with this house in the winter is that all the interior doors have a large gap at the bottom of almost an inch. So even if we try to keep the heat down in most of the house, whichever room we are currently in always has a [...]

In an effort to keep our heating bill down a bit this winter, we had a set of french doors put up between the dining room & living room so now instead of having to keep 3 rooms nice & toasty, we only have to keep 1 room toasty and the other 2 can be [...]

No home theater is complete without the proper lighting. If the lights are too bright it’s hard to see the screen and if it’s too dark it’s hard to see the popcorn and furniture. Stargate Cinema can handle all your home theater lighting needs, whether you’ve just got a small room with a standard [...]

If you’re looking at having some floors redone, laminate flooring is a nice option. It doesn’t fill with dust like carpets do, and messes are much easier to clean up if something gets spilled on it. Laminate floors can be found in almost any style and is a great way to get the [...]
