This week’s show – The Realtors Ball

Friday, January 13th, 2012

This Saturday January 14 is the annual Realtors Ball here in Wood County. The second biggest social event of the year in Bowling Green can usually count on some of the worst weather of the year, but this year, who can remember a nicer stretch of January weather on record?

A Firm Foundation is pleased to welcome a national guest to the program on Saturday, Daren Blomquist, Director of Communications for RealtyTrac, the nations leader in online marketplace of foreclosed properties, plus analysis and data about other real estate issues across the U. S. A wise man once said, “there are no secrets in real estate”, Realtytract takes that truth to a new level of information sharing.

The show begins at 9:00 am. on AM1470 WLQR, and a podcast is available after 11:00 am. at www.1065theticket.com.

Great progress has been made on the new house under construction at 605 Jacqueline Place, the outside is all finished and inside the drywall is up and things are beginning to take shape!

Today’s picture – a corner of the house

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Today’s picture is a corner in the new house we are constructing at 605 Jacqueline Place. You can see the insulation in place, the caulking lines between the framing members, part of the Energy Star requirements for infiltration, and the insulation baffles against the roof, (proper vents) to maintain air flow above the attic insulation. The house is fully ready for the drywall.

Good weather progress
