Now in most places the county fair features cows, pigs, chickens and all forms of food with no nutritional value. Here in Scottsdale it is Barrett Jackson with side shows by Gooding & Company, RM Auctions and Russo-Steele. No where in the world, at any time in the year, does a community host more automania than in Scottsdale this week–not even Pebble Beach in August. It is just one of the many reasons Scottsdale is such a great place to live, work and play. We do it with style and an eye toward healthy living. There simply in no city in America the size of Scottsdale with the world class medical facilities to treat things like heart disease and diabetes; surrounded by exericise options that span the realms of hiking, skating, world class golfing, flyfishing, horseback riding, motorcycle touring, yoga and believe it or not boating. So go to the search functions in this website, you can search of real estate anywhere in the world and let me know if you find a place that offers more than Scottsdale. Give me a call and I will tell you more!

Add attic insulation to lower heating and cooling costs by as much as $600 per year.
Save about $600 per year by boosting the amount of attic insulation from R-11 to R-49. Depending on the type of materials you use, figure on paying an insulation contractor about $1,500 to insulate an 800-square-foot attic, which pays back your investment in three years. You’ll spend about half that to do the job yourself.
Do you need more attic insulation?

If you can’t see the joists and the insulation is well above the tops of the joists, you’re probably okay and you won’t recoup the cost of adding more. Continue reading →
