New subscriber? Greetings! Not-So-New? TNX for hanging around.
It's a rainy chilly morning here in Downeast Maine. I'm composing this sitting in a rental home in Southwest Harbor on Mt. Desert Island (MDI).
The past two days, I've toured some new homes with my daughter Meghan and her husband Brent. They're going to select a builder to construct their first home here on MDI.
It's imperative you go look at some of their houses and pay attention to detail. I asked if I could take some photos and was granted permission. I did it primarily for you.
You'll see some stunning photos below in a second. First, we need to get the news out about the Stain Solver SALE.
End-of-Winter Stain Solver SALE
If you're a new subscriber, you probably have no clue that my wife Kathy and I own a small niche business - www.StainSolver.com
Please go look at the home page of Stain Solver. You'll see my all-time FAVORITE before/after photos. Look at the baseball cap.
Stain Solver is a certified organic multi-purpose cleaner. You may have seen commercials on TV for a competitor's product that begins with Oxi. That product is NOT organic. But I digress.
Stain Solver cleans anything that's water washable. Decks, patios, laundry, floor tile grout, camping gear, musty coolers, grease from cabinets, etc.
You name it, Stain Solver can CLEAN and RESTORE it. Kathy and make Stain Solver here in the USA up in Chicago. The two ingredients are also made in the USA.
We have a huge sale at the end of each winter. That's now for us up in the Northeast.

Cool New House Photos
Here are a few very colorful things I saw in the houses I toured. I shot more photos, but these were my favorite ones that really caught my eye:
Don't ask me where to get that blue tile. I have no clue, but I thought I overheard it was a special order from Italy.
The stunning granite fireplace pulled at me like a tractor beam. Look at the variety of colors and minerals!!!!
I shot the switch cover plate because I wanted you to keep in mind you can add flair and color to a room with these. All too often people forget about decorative cover plates!
Want to see MORE decorative cover plates??? I thought so.
Next Tuesday, I'm going to devote the entire issue to why you should try oxygen bleach to clean things. It's been years since I've shared WHY hospitals, hotels, motels, universities, etc. use oxygen bleach to CLEAN THINGS.
Once you know this, you'll probably become a believer.
I need to pack and start to get on the road. It's going to be a gray drive back to central New Hampshire.
