You are what you eat. We know this, so it dictates for many, what we should eat. But the next step is to evaluate how much you eat. Those of us in more disciplined households know it's best not to over eat. But what does that really mean?Raise your hand if you were told to eat everything on your ...

I never was much interested in gardening until I moved into a garden home with a small yard and large patio. With my mother having huge, messy, roach infestation gardens (oh boy don't they love that water & compost!) I just really hated gardening. It was by accident though that I started, and no...

What is an "Affordable Home" anyway? It can be defined by the average price of a home in your community, it could be defined from the buyer's income history, or it could be defined by the cost of ownership.  My company, Metcon Spaces, has been in talks with one of our esteemed colleages here in t...

SAWS has programs for gardening, yards, irrigation, patios, pools, and plumbing.  This blog is more or less a narrative on my home project since my gardening group wanted to know what and how I did my yard, my rebates, cash vs plants, etc. Rules. Contacts. Benefits. Ideas.  This is not all encomp...
