I have heard through the grapevine that the real estate on the Jersey Shore is “hot, hot, hot”!
Vacation rentals are booking up homes are selling.
Could it be because of MTV?
I admit it. I watch this show too. I tried not too but I got sucked into the world of fake tans, hot tubs, and muscle bounds!
My daughters great-grandmother says the Jersey Shore is as nice if not nicer than the Cape. She is 91 and from Jersey!
What’s one to do when they have a full sized window in the middle of their bathtub?
This is a common problem amongst people who own older homes.
1. Accept the fact that this adds character to the home.(along with the small–(only you can see) horse hair plaster cracks on every surface of your home)
2. You are thrilled window is new and tilts in for cleaning.
2. Be elated that you have so much natural light in your bathroom! You are the envy of all around!
3. Think of how awesome the huge cast iron bath tub is. You cannot buy ones like it anymore!
4. Who wants one of those fancy bathrooms anyway? You have a kid to put through college in less than 12 years.
Now to fix the problem on a budget.
This window has been a PIA for a number of years now. The paint peels off the sills. The shelf paper you put on the window is peeling to address the issues of the leering neighbors. (Thankfully they have since moved.)
Solution:
Repaint the trim with boat paint, apply a plastic coating to the sill. It will retract the water easier.
Then to Marshalls/TJ MaX to purchase a fancy shower liner and a retractable rod to hang right in the bathtub.
End Result
Adding a spruce of color and privacy while you shower and the option to have lots of sunlight when not!
Eat your heart out Martha! (Stewart, that is)

Since the mid 1990s.. there has been talk of a super maximum private prison being built here.
It is now a work in progress in the form of a medium Federal security facility.
Berlin NH -once the paper mill closed that was the end of the beginning for this quaint New Hampshire mountain town.
Building the new prison may be an opportunity that Berlin needs or not?
Hurting communities are jumping at chances to have prisons built. Vacant land is sold, workers have jobs. Workers with jobs buy homes etc. Prison Industry is profitable.
At what expense?
What long term effects does a prison bring to a community?
There are so many pros and cons to the prison real estate argument.
Where do we begin?
