    Would you buy a house..

    .. on a hill with amazing views, good floor plan and a good enough price.. and.. a free-fall of a driveway? I understand it's not easy getting in and out of a house like that four times a day, but what are the other pitfalls?

    BRCA Gene

    I know, it's raining men at TI, but then they have wives and mothers.. so, here goes the question: Anyone gone through the BRCA testing? I got a slip to get tested.

I have a "burn" wall in my itty-bitty backyard.. the reflection from the sliding door and the windows above literally burns anything I plant there.
