Useful & Important Information
During 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. When I hear the question "How bad is it?" I hear fear. It's easy to capitalize on things that people fear. Our tool against fear is education.

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.

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.
Hot off the email scam presses comes this newest scam, which claims that "Your Federal Tax Payment ID: 010373 has been rejected." The "ID number" in the subject line may change, but other than that the variationis will be very similar.
I wanted to let you know that I ordered a dispenser for disinfectant cloths for the workout area. This way you can wipe down the equipment before/after you use it.
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.
