My grandparents are a lot different than me. Obviously they come from a different generation, but they also have vastly different practices when it comes to their own home. For one, I don’t wear my shoes in the house anymore. This is something I quit doing after I started renting my own studio apartment for […]

It's really important to me that I have a good HVAC supplier
It’s helpful to know a really good handyman to call. Sometimes you’ll have a broken window or something else that needs to be fixed in your house. It’s often cheaper to hire a handyman than it is to hire a specialist. And I met my handyman through one of my neighbors. This is a friend […]
