Now I know

A big "Thank You" to Amy Ecklund and all the folks who turned out for the Savvy Seattle Women workshop on Wednesday night. Amy gave us all kinds of interesting and useful information about DIY home maintenance to prevent costly repairs and save us money! For instance, did you know that you should replace the hoses on your washer every couple of years? And do you know how and where to shut off the water and gas to your home in case of emergency? Those are just a couple of things we learned.

Check out the South Seattle Community College catalogue for courses taught by Amy, too. Amy is a professional handywoman in West Seattle. You can find out more about her on her website, www.amyworks.com.

The next free workshop sponsored by Savvy Seattle Women will be on Wednesday, June 15th. Topic: How to Hire a Pro Without Getting Conned.  Find out where to find qualified home service professionals and how to choose the best one for you.

Come view this view!

Once again I am enjoying a spectacular view of the Sound, watching the Fauntleroy ferries drift into and out of the dock. It's a rough job, but somebody's got to do it. Today (Sunday) I'm here from 1-4P. The address is 8801 Fauntleroy Way SW. This is a one story home with a finished basement like you've never (or at least, rarely) seen before. The house is custom built to function as two separate living spaces. Each has its own outside entrance, two bedrooms, laundry facilities and a generous sized living room. The upper floor has two bathrooms and the lower has one. Also rare for this area, is a garage plus two additional (uncovered) parking spaces. The lot is mostly taken up by the footprint of the house, so this home can be considered a condo alternative. List price is $660K. All my visitors will receive a coupon for a free ice cream cone from West Seattle's own Husky Deli. You can also enter a drawing to win $50 cash! MLS #177473
