Our hearts are sadden at this time as we reflect on the devastation of the Waldo Canyon fire with two people dead, 346 homes in Colorado Springs were lost, and the burning to the ground of a 60-year-old institution, the Flying W Ranch.
While the Mountain Shadows neighborhood was hit the hardest with weather conditions that created a firestorm, other areas like Cedar Heights, Cascade, Green Mountain Falls, Woodland Park, Peregrine and the Air Force Academy were spared due to the valiant efforts of the firefighters.Utilities crews worked long hours as well protecting the city’s utilities resources and restoring power, water and gas to those most affected by the fire.
While this tragedy…

Home Inspection Advice

I saw this article and thought it was most appropiate. Take a look.
Don't lose real estate buyers over minor fixes
DEAR BARRY: Our home is in escrow. We disclosed every defect we could think of, but the buyers relied on their home inspector. The inspector didn't find any serious problems, but he did list a number of cosmetic defects and routine maintenance repair needs, such as peeling paint, loose exterior trim, a cracked window and a damaged bedroom door.
All of these were listed on our disclosure statement, so we thought the buyers would be satisfied with the inspection report. But they are demanding that we fix every single defect or they won't buy the property. This seems very unfair to us. What do your recommend? --Angie

HOME INSPECTIONS!
What is a "Home Inspection"?
A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from the roof to the foundation. Having a home inspected is like giving it a physical check-up. If problems or symptoms are found, the inspector may recommend further evaluation.
What does it include? The standard home inspector's report will review the condition of the home's heating system, interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, basement, and visible structure.
