Mold: What's All the Hype?

mold 720 03-thumbDuring nearly every home inspection, the question comes up: "How bad is the mold?" That is because mold is everywhere; it thrives in moist environments that are present in so many of our homes and it is known to cause health issues. The good news is that not all species of mold are bad for your health and only higher concentrations of some species of mold affect most people.

Mold and mildew are often misunderstood, leaving many with the impression that the "mold terrorists" move in and force us from our homes. Mold testing and mitigation is still big business.

Email Scams on the Rise

Rise-in-e-mail-scams

I recently published the following article on my own website (www.amherst-partners.com) and thought I should also publish it here.

Every year around the holidays as both brick & mortar and online sales increase so does the occurrence of various online scams. I've probably received at least 2 dozen scam email messages over the past few weeks informing me about my winning free items of all sorts - all I have to do is "click here" to receive my prize. Have you ever heard the saying - if it sounds too good to be true it usually is? Well this is most certainly the case here - DON'T click on any of those links - 99.9% of the time they are scams.

dont forget my senior discount hatI received the following email from a neighbor of mine. I don't know if it is completely accurate but it is worth checking out.

To all my "senior" friends, and those getting "close" to being "seniors". (No offense intended to anyone !).... A rather long list, which is unconfirmed for accuracy.

Since many senior discounts are not advertised to the public, our advice to men and women over 55 is to ALWAYS ask a sales associate if that store provides a senior discount.

Crabgrass Information

Crabgrass loves bare hard acidic soil. That is why it generally appears first at edges of pavement where the excessive heat from the pavement heats and compacts the soil. We have applied a pre-emergent to the properties which will control most of the crabgrass, but there are many cultural variables which affect the crabgrass population.
