City vs. Suburbs?
My friend May appears to be the kind of career woman
who could kick anyone's butt in the boardroom. An
attractive woman in her 30's, what she really wants
are children and a stable family life. You'd never know
that she wants a man to be the leader in a
relationship. At the age of 24 she bought her property
after borrowing a few thousand from her parents. She
got tired of the guilt trip her mother kept giving her
about the money so she quickly paid back double
what she had borrowed. Over the last 13 years, her
townhouse increased in value considerably and May
is also the owner of a parcel of land in northern
California, a "great investment!", she says.
May does have a couple regrets. She wishes she had
invested in a detached home rather than a townhome.
She also regretted not spending a year living in
the "city" to enjoy the "single" life. However, she did
say that by living in the suburbs, she's glad she
avoided all that single-life drama anyway...
May currently has plans to sell her parcel of land and
put her Fremont townhouse on the market and invest
in a single family detached home with a driveway
where she can wash her car. (This chick's REAL
specific!)

| Rudy Saved My Home's Deck! |
| |
When I bought my house, it was obvious that the 2000
sq. ft. back deck was shot. The wood was rotting --
the previous owners hadn't done anything to preserve
the deck in years. Then Rudy Romo did a fabulous job
refinishing the old deck!
Rudy gives the following advice: "Don't
procrastinate! Use a sealer or stain for all new fences
and decks and do it before it starts to rain. Even if you
didn't treat your decks soon enough, they can still be
cleaned and preserved to look new!" How
true. My deck looked really crappy before Rudy took
care of it...

| Is Feng Shui a Joke or What? |
| |
Recently a "manly man" friend of mine admitted his
feng shui fetish. I laughed at him and asked him if he
was a vegetarian too! He loaned me a CD on Feng
Shui and after listening to it, I was compelled to use
the common sense "remove-the-clutter" principle of
Feng Shui. It was a fabulous week after I cleared
clutter...Wow! I'll work on my mom's house next.
(Yikes!)
Share your experiences with Feng Shui in your home.
We love to hear from our readers!
