How To Keep Your Man in Nederland
Well, one way to do it is when he dies you keep him frozen on ice. 
That’s how Frozen Dead Guy Days got it’s name. Every year on the first full weekend in March (burrrrrr….) Nederland Colorado celebrates “Grandpa Bredo” who supposedly is still kept on ice in the Tuff Shed. His grandson, a Norwegian immigrant brought his deceased “Grandpa Bredo” to Nederland Colorado in 1989 where his body lies frozen in a shed (at -109F) behind his daughter’s old house. I’ve heard it said that Trygue (the grandson) wasn’t aware of American taboos about storing deceased relatives with yard tools…anyway Trygue was finally deported by the US government (not because of his grandfather..), and the City of Nederland Colorado grandfathered in Grandpa Bredo, against all odds, and Grandpa is allowed to remain interned in the Tuff Shed until they discover a cure for being dead.

Boots and Fur (faux of course, it’s Boulder)
You know it’s winter in Boulder Colorado when the bike racks come off the cars and the ski racks go on AND the fashion changes for the women to “boots with fur” around the top! I think it was my son in law that coined that phrase about Boulder Colorado because it was the first thing he noticed on his very first visit as we went strolling down Pearl Street Mall. Everyone was wearing them! More Boots with Fur….I think he might have been noticing the girls to..do ya think? Pearl Street Mall happens to be within walking distance of the University of Colorado so the mall is abuzz with young inventive fashion designers. Winter in Boulder, ahhhh… Read the rest of this entry »
Git Ur Tax Credits Here….Git Ur Credits!
Home buyers and sellers in Boulder Colorado can receive tax credits for including energy efficiency into their everyday lives. It isn’t just good for the environment; it’s also good for your wallet! While you may discover that the latest energy efficient appliances can be more expensive, you can save money through federal tax credits. For example, if you are building or buying a new home, you can qualify for tax credits on any products bought before January 1, 2009. Find out if you’re eligible and learn about more rebate programs in Boulder County.To be eligible for the tax credit, the product must meet or exceed the requirements of the 2000 International Energy Conservation Code. Also, find a manufacturer in your area who is knowledgeable about the credits and sells products that qualify. Another reason to go green – tax incentives are not merely deductions. They are tax credits that directly reduce your tax bill! They can even be rolled over to the next year.

Flying High In Boulder Colorado
Need another reason to live in Dakota Ridge Village in Boulder Colorado? With the great views of the Flatirons, access to trails and parks, close-knit community, and shopping availability, you’d think you had all you needed. Well, you haven’t experienced this neighborhood fully until you’ve seen the brightly colored paragliders swooping down the mountain. Yes! Paragliders, right in your backyard. Just one more unique characteristic of Boulder and it’s extreme mountain living. 
I have enjoyed watching the paragliders for many years from my own backyard in North Boulder. In the photo above, you can see Wonderland Lake. It’s taken from one of the launches that Parasoft Paragliding descends from above Dakota Ridge Village. Not only is it a welcoming sight for me to see the beautiful sails breezing down the foothills, but imagine what it’s like for the paragliders. They have the most amazing views as they fly down. As far east as the eye can see, along with the Flatirons, foothills, Wonderland Lake, and the wonderful city of Boulder. Find out more. Read the rest of this entry »
Building a Xeriscape or Zeroscape in Boulder Colorado
Moving to Boulder Colorado is a lot like moving to the moon, if you’re from most anywhere else in the US. You think you know what it “should” look like or what you would like it “to look like”, but when you actually get here you have to adjust your perceptions a bit. Boulder is located where the great plains end and the Rocky Mountains begin. Boulder isn’t all plains and isn’t all mountains, but somewhere pleasantly in between – and oh, did I mention the gorgeous foothills? With 300 days of sunshine, 17-25 inches of rain, an average of 158 inches of snowfall each year and with varying degrees of altitudes between 5000 – 14,000 feet above sea level there is an amazing diversity of plants – which gets me to my title point – what is heck is a “xeriscape”?

What To Ask Your Lender When Getting A Loan.
When showing homes in Boulder Colorado to first time home buyers, I often get the following question, “Do you know a good lender?” Of course I do, and I usually recommended three that I have done business with over the years. It’s best to interview at least three mortgage companies to find the best fit for you. But then what? Because now is the time to buy in Boulder and the surrounding areas, homebuyers are abundant and many have never been to a lender before. Recently at an open house, a couple of first-time homebuyers asked me what they were supposed to ask the lender at the interview. It’s a great question and many first timers make the mistake of not asking the right questions, so I came up with some of the most popular questions to ask a lender regarding a loan.
Trick or Treat, Give Me Something Good to Buy?
With halloween just around the corner, I know spooky isn’t it. Wow, where did this year go? You are sick and tired of hearing that now is a good time to buy real estate, well it’s not only good it’s the best ever. 
Buyers, wake up, get your butts out there and look at all the fantastic homes that are at bargain basement prices. Wah wah, you don’t have the down payment, think FHA. Now more than ever before, FHA type mortgages are becoming the most sought after loans by consumers. Today about 41% of the buyers are obtaining FHA type loans. What a sweet deal and the down payment is reasonable. Read the rest of this entry »
Boulder Colorado always ahead of the curve
Whether you are a worldwide athlete training for your next marathon, or you’ve decided to save on gas and ride your bicycle to work or run down to the grocery store, you will feel right at home in Boulder Colorado. Everyday you see people riding to work in work clothes and dresses, all decked out with baskets on the front and trailers on the back. Families ride together on tandem bikes or with infants tagging along in attached bicycle trailers. As a driver, you must be very alert and always look twice before making a turn. I myself have spent many Sundays riding my bike around to Open Houses. Read the rest of this entry »
HOA’s… The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly!!
Where do you even begin when talking about Home Owners Associations? I have been wanting to write something about them for quite some time now, but where to start? And, do I really want to write a novel about HOA’s? I could. I have a lot to say about them, both good and bad. There was an article that came up earlier this week, which made me decide it was time to say something NOW!
There is a couple in Longmont, Colorado who is suing their HOA for being to relaxed with their rules. Read the rest of this entry »
