It might seem like a distant dream, but the reality of a trip to the Sunshine Coast of BC is up to you. Visualize the soft blowing breeze in your face. Drink up the misty spray of water engulfing your being. If this isn’t heaven, it must be something very close. If you go Sunshine [...]

Whenever I am watching the news reports on the wars in the mideast or any of the underdeveloped nations, I shake my head in wonder. So many of these people have never experienced having running water in their homes. The crudeness they exist in seems to me to be dangerously lacking in hygene. Here, we [...]

Homes are a very personal equity. Some people feel that they are more of an investment than a place to live. My homes have always been special to me and though I would not make a foolish buy, I tend to go with the feeling a piece of property and the home itself will give [...]

When I used to visit my cousin in North Carolina at his US Marine base, I was always aware of the Quonset hut his office was set up in. I was told that they were specifically designed for the military and they offered rapid constuction and disassembly so they could be mobilized easily. The fact [...]

Awhile back I was the victim of a home robbery leaving me very paranoid about the security in my home. I found myself getting every single thing you could imagine in home security protection.
