In a perfect world, snow will melt off the roof, enter the gutters and flow harmlessly to the ground.  However, if you have experienced water stained walls and ceilings after a large snow build up on your roof, you realize that the world is not perfect.  Sometimes, after a significant snow fall and a long cold period, we find our homes are water damaged from ice dams.   So what causes ice dams and what damage can they produce?  Often ice dams are caused by the interaction between the cold outside air and temperature inside your attic.  The warmer your attic, the more melt off occurs at the roof surface.  Under most conditions, melted snow runs off the edge of the roof.  However when the air temperature is very low, water refreezes at the edge of the roof - where the interior roof surfa...

The question of the day: "How's the market?" I have been asked that question at least once a day over the past month. The best answer about the overall market is looking at the facts and figures. But when choosing a home, facts and figures aren't enough. The essence of home is personal. Let's look at two active listings in Newton. As you take them in, notice your reactions to the homes. Both of these beautiful single families are located on the south side of Newton, Massachusetts. At the time of this writing, they were currently each listed just over $1,000,000.    16 Sharpe Rd, Newton, MA       36 High Rock Terrace       Facts alone don't tell the story 16 Sharpe Road, Newton, MA 02459 - a spacious gracious Contemporary located in a woodland setting. Lots of light from the many skyligh...

It's the silly season. If you are not feeling jolly yet, here are some suggestions to help you find a little peace on earth. Take a drive to look at the lights. One of my best winter memories come from the drives we took as a family to see the holiday lights. We didn't always drive into Boston to see the amazing display on the Boston Commons. Many times, we drove around the neighborhood to our delight, admiring the neighborhood decor. Talk about simple pleasures! Check out the family activities at Historic Newton Jackson Homestead and Museum. The new exhibit, "Peeking into Newton's Toychest", explores the lessons and values that toys have brought to children through the ages. Historic Newton offers many family events. Go ice-skating. The Skating Club of Boston, www.scboston.org, is an e...
