Interior home images

We see a lot of homes in the course of a week.
When we are in those homes, what we see there often tells us a lot about the people that live there.
We were in a home this weekend that was so nicely decorated I just took photos .
I could tell they like:

roosters,
birds,
flowers,
fresh fruit,
red.

The place was [...]

Tucson Low Care Landscaping

Tucson Drip system hose

We often get questions from people visiting Tucson from other parts of the country about the strange tubes they see growing out of most people’s yards.

Huff and Puff and Blow the House Up

Wild Animal Park Hut

Puffing is a term used in Real Estate that is similar to exaggerate; embellish is probably a better term. 
Puffing is legal to an extent.

There are no snow removal fees at any of the townhome or [...]
