Yesterday I did a new construction review and these 3 columns were in the same basement. If your columns are too short, you lengthen them, and then start stacking shims? I mean, what could go wrong with that?

The perfect day at my office. Exploring 17 acres with a catfish pond. Locating the property corners and preparing walking paths for the Open House Sunday.

So Mark, I want you to ignore that we have extensive termite damage, and sell the house way over full price, with no inspections, for a discounted commission.

Get off my Land, that's my Fence. No, that's my Fence!!! When it comes to fence encroachments people look at the survey and often start arguing. BUT, it's way better to go out there to see it with your own eyes.

I was out inspecting a new home today and met Megan. This person is an inspiration as the Construction Industry is short on talent. These are skilled trades, they pay very well, but sometimes you might get hot or cold? If you are considering a future career, choose construction. As the collective of our country says "WE NEED YOU"!!!

AND, this is how our developers make green grass detention basins to reduce erosion down into local Creeks. The EPA Legislated the Clean Water ACT which allows our local MSD to levy fines against developers for erosion washed off-site. Our builders can get fines of $40,000, $60,000 and even $80,000 after big rainstorms and the inspections that follow. When consumers ask me how NEW Homes can be $300-$400/s.f. there are reasons for that.

Oh Shoot!!! Need 10 tons of white rock? GravelShooters.com can launch white rock up to 75'. Because water and expansive clay will crack foundations, this white rock protects our homes long term. Love this!!!!

So, this just happened. I made an offer on a house for my friend Chris Thompson, who is a 31 year old male. There were 4 offers. The seller did a Google search on all 4 buyers, and signed our offer. Yay! The sellers agent told me the seller chose our offer because she would only sell to another female, and since my buyer was a nurse too, she signed ours. My client is not a female, and not a nurse. Should I say anything?

On July 09, 2024 Missouri Voted in R.S.Mo 442.404.5(1). This Law allows home-owners to have Chickens even if HOA Rules say they are prohibited. Residents can keep up to 6 Chickens IF they have at least 0.20 Acres or more. Is this a good idea?

In the 80's and 90' circular staircases were popular. Then, they nearly disappeared. How much money do you think it costs to build a circular staircase like this?

Stapling screens over your heat vents so construction debris does not go down there. Shout out to Consort Homes for a creative and simple solution.

After 50 years and owning 7 homes, yesterday, these sweet clients sold their last home. Using the principles of Real Estate investing, the giant cashiers check they received will fuel the rest of their retirement years. IT's a happy story that I see time, and time, and time again.
