  The Stonegate neighborhood in Parker Colorado was severely hit with a hail storm in early June. Over the next week we were repeatedly pounded with afternoon hail storms, rain and high winds. Many homes and cars were damaged and insurance claims are a daily occurrence. Hail storms are not new to our area but the devastating hail we did receive was uncommon. For the small section of Stonegate that I live in I do know that of the 7 homes that filed claims 5 of us so far have been approved for new roof replacements. Today they are working on replacing our roof so I thought I would share a few photos below. The mess and especially the noise makes working out of the house impossible. I've stopped by twice to check on the progress and they keep telling me that they will be done today. We'll...

For some people, moving to a new home is almost a rite of passage when the last kid leaves home, retirement comes, or health deteriorates.  The home with the two acre lot, the spiral staircase, and huge storage space can lose its appeal when the urge to downsize, simplify, and "de-step" the house takes over.  In many cases, this is a great idea; in fact, in the Denver area, communities for mature active adults often feature ranch style housing with no lawn responsibilities and plenty of activities on site. Some senior developments are transit oriented developments (TOD's), whole communities built around transit lines. TOD's are proving to be a perfect solution for those who hope to make one last move that will provide comfortable, hassle-free shelter for their remaining decades of life....

[caption id="attachment_357" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Parker Days Festival 2009"][/caption] If you didn't make it out to the Parker Days Festival/Carnival you missed out. We did choose the $25 all day pass as I didn't want to go back and buy tickets all afternoon.I was a little disappointed with the rain and lightening each afternoon but it really didn't start until just about the time we were ready to leave. I haven't seen it this crowed in years. There were by far more people here this year than last. Maybe because fewer people are traveling because for the economy? Just guessing. Our 4 year old had a blast and so did I. I think we rode every ride my son was tall enough to get on a minimum of two times. We did only ride the rides on the kids side and not the big kids s...

If you live in Stonegate or plan on buying a home for sale in Stonegate you better know the watering restrictions. Yep we still have watering restrictions even though we haven't had a drought in several years. No worries, I think everyone is fine with it and I truly do believe that we need them since my yard looks great and I don't water half as much as I probably could. No watering before April 15th or after October 15th, 2009. Even addresses [ending in 0, 2,4,6,8,] can water on Sunday, Tuesday and Friday. Odd numbered address [1,3,5,7,9] can water on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. NO Watering on Wednesdays. Watering is allowed between the hours of 7PM and 8AM only on your designated watering days. They do allow a three week grace period for new lawns installed prior to Memorial Day an...

See the Full Story and a MAP here. Well it's mid April and if you live in the Stonegate neighborhood in Parker Colorado that means it's time to get your stuff ready for the huge neighborhood garage sale. That's how it's been for over 15 years. We all know the drill. Your family members gather all their items they no longer need and mom and dad arrange the items on tables for sale at DEEP DISCOUNTS. Then when your 5 year old sees his old toy leaving the yard with someone else he goes into orbit. It's all good though and we all have fun. The three day weekend of sales and block parties have always been a lot of fun and many of us have made great money selling our no longer needed items. My wife made $650 her fist garage sale and she has been hooked ever since and I know many other famili...

    You may think that the way your credit score is formulated is as scientific as the way a gypsy fortune teller determines your future at a carnival.   A little smoke, some mirrors, a crystal ball and there you are, your high score of over 700 enables you to get great rates on homes and cars.  Or, oh, too bad, it's clearer now, 581, higher rates for you.  Looks like renting and driving the old clunker are in your future for another year! In reality, credit scores are based on five categories of your economic history: your payment history, how much you owe, how long you have had credit, the new credit you have tried to apply for, and the mix of credit you have. Your actual score is calculated with software created by the Fair Issac Corporation, which is why is it often called a FICO s...
