The farm also offers a popular Country Café and gift shop, which includes local produce, apple cider & Artisan cheeses, along with full breakfast and lunch menus. The possibilities are endless at Bellewood Acres… You won’t want to miss out!
With all the hype of a possible storm headed toward Western Washington this weekend, I wanted to give a few tips to help you prepare!
Bring in your patio and yard furniture or any other lose items that can turn into dangerous flying objects
Have a generator ready
Make sure you have enough food and water supplies in case you lose power
Evaluate any trees close to your home & remove branches that could potentially cause danger
Make sure your gutters and drains are clear to prevent flooding
Securely close and fasten all doors and windows
Waiting until the last minute or until it is too late is one of the biggest mistakes people including myself usually make. Remember, it’s always better to be over prepared than underprepared! I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable weekend!
Whether you’re looking to sell or just wanting more out of your home, outdoor remodeling is the way to go! According to the National Association of Realtors, outdoor remodeling projects can not only add value to a home, but can also lead to happier and more satisfied homeowners.
When a house goes on the market, the first thing potential buyers notice is the outside of the home, which is why spending time on exterior improvements is so important. “Looking at the outdoor projects that produce the largest financial windfalls at resale, Realtors ranked seeding lawn the highest, recovering 417 percent of the project cost at resale. Seed lawn is followed by implementing a standard lawn care program (303 percent of cost recovered) and updating landscaping with sod lawn care program (303 percent of cost recovered) and updating landscaping with sod lawn (143 percent recovered) as the most cost-effective projects.”
Planning on staying awhile? For those more interested in finding that perfect addition, there are outdoor projects that make homeowners have a greater desire to spend time at home. Not surprisingly, Realtors found that completing a pool project brought the majority of homeowners a major sense of accomplishment and increased sense of enjoyment at home. Other exciting projects include an overall landscaping upgrade or adding new features such as a patio or exterior fireplace.
