Well had a pretty incredible experience this weekend. Jumped out of a perfectly good airplane.....yeah, thats right. Was a slow weekend for real estate, so I needed to get my fix somewhere. So, we jumped out of the plane at 14,000 feet. The freefall was approximately 50 seconds (9000 feet), with a gentle parachute ride down from about 5000 feet. The landing was perfect. Could have landed on an egg carton and not broen it! Pretty amazing experience and highly recommended. Enjoy!!!!

One of the big questions we get at Darcy Joubert real estate, is "what school zone is this house in? My children need to go to ________ School". Buying a home is a decision that impacts all aspects of the family including the children. So, here is your resource. hopefully these maps will make that home buying decision an easier one.

Father's day is just around the corner. Here are a few nifty DIY ideas that you can easily put together for dad, or work with him to get done.

1. Beer-tub

Turn an old wine barrel into a mobile beverage tub. Personalize it for dad with his favorite sports team logo, or writing his name and/or somethig about why he's special on the tub.

2. Beverage Cart

How about this stylish beverage cart?  This industrial design is easy to build and will be a conversation piece at any outdoor BBQ or function. Personalize the cart with dad's favorite beverage......

3. Pergola/Gazebo

Spend time with dad to build this Pergola, It will be quality time together, and at the end of the day, you'll be able to sit back and enjoy your creation, likely with the above noted beer tub and possibly beverage cart nearby :)
