With cold weather in the mix for the foreseeable future, making sure your fireplace needs are taken care of is of paramount importance! After all, there is nothing better in the winter and spring months than heading outside to start up a fire on your courtyard. Let’s face it, it doesn’t really matter what the season is, fireside chats […]

In my opinion, every man needs to have a good jeweler behind them if they are going to succeed in life. I can freely admit that I’m a terrible shopper when it comes to the wife. She doesn’t make it easy…but even so I’m still terrible. For those of you in the same boat as me, fear […]

We’re very lucky that we were able to purchase solar panels with our new home purchase. Not a luxury everybody can afford or can they? The math behind solar is pretty amazing. Yes it helps that Schell Brothers has a sister-company, Clean Energy USA, to make the math even more encouraging. With an incentive off the […]

Buying a new home is a massive moment in your life and a huge investment. As my wife aptly phrased it: you can’t have an amazing home without then decorating it amazingly! Tis true. We were very lucky and used the Schell paint option so the house was already painted when we moved in. With […]

I get asked by a lot of my homeowners about home insurance in Delaware. Obviously, home insurance needs to be in place before you go to settlement as you pre-pay your insurance. A lot of ‘my people’ are from out-of-state and their insurance agents will not insure their home at the beach. Crazy but true. […]

Exercise. We all need it, and I’m often asked if there are activities close by that are good for getting back into shape with a ‘games approach’ to exercise. Well, we’re very lucky to have a facility right in Lewes that offers an amazing range of activities and exercise, and its called The Factory. Located on the grounds off of Route 9 […]
The Delaware Beaches are extremely dog-friendly and the most frequently asked question I get, post settlement is, who installs fences in the area. Dewey holds an annual Greyhound Reach the Beach weekend, during the Sea Witch festival there is a dog-costume Parade, and you can’t walk down 2nd street in downtown Lewes without noticing the amazingly cute store […]
To start off my Local’s Corner series, I wanted to recommend a local businessman that gets rave reviews from everyone who has used him. On multiple occasions, I have called on Paul from Mountain Fresh Cleaning Services to look after my floors, and every time, they delivered impeccable services. Most recently, when our dog was sick […]
Before I came to the beach the word ‘local’ didn’t mean too much to me. It held no value to me, my family, or more importantly, the community. Here, in Southern Delaware, the growth and well-being of the community is shared with everyone. Local businesses are at the very core of our beach life, and I strive to be […]
