Portland real estate services for buyers, sellers and property management.
A collection of some of my personal stories.
News flash……LED lighting is pretty darn cool. It ain’t cheap, but doesn’t have to be really expensive either. We had this outside front porch light, incandenscents kept burning out. So out comes the ladder every month, then reaching above my head, on top of the ladder, unscrewing the old light fixture to get to the […]
This has got to be one of Portland’s mostest and coolio-est tree in all the land……..it’s a Strawberry tree in case you were wondering. Google it, as trees go, fascinating. A sort of edible fruit, which is so red, it almost looks “fake”. The fruit is a super round “strawberry”, that is rather tart to […]
Last week was awesome. Some people measure the day in dollars, I like to measure the day in “did that really just happen in front of me?”. I’m out in Troutdale, at a duplex I manage. I’m way early for a walk thru of some work getting done in the back yard. So I’m minding […]
