FEATURED PROJECT
Another versatile design by Anthony and Company Construction
built in Raleigh, North Carolina.
This simple design gives you the advantage of having both screened-in protected
living space, and easy access to the open-air deck just outside! This flow between
the two spaces gives the homeowner maximum flexibility - use either one alone or both together.
Ahhh - total relaxation and indoor-outdoor fun!

Interesting Facts!
Interesting Home Tips!
Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little
"stringy things" off of it. That's how the primates do it.
Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store.
If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating.
Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.
Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of
garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste.
Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are
all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing
it up mixing thoroughly, cut the corner tip of the baggie, squeeze
mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done! Easy clean up!
Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it
with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size.
You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You
also eat less sugar and calories per serving.

Early Spring Gardening Tips!
Pruning
For early blooming shrubs such as forsythia and viburnum,
prune them as soon as blooms have passed. Early spring is
also an ideal time to prune your roses.
Tools
Spring is a good time to prepare your tools for the oncoming
gardening season and to make any necessary repairs or new purchases.
You will be happy you have done so when summer sets in.
Lawn Care
Spring is the best time to start a new lawn from seed. For
established lawns, you should start mowing in the spring, but
don't initially cut the grass very short for the first few times.
Organic Veggies!
The first step to ensuring a completely organic garden is finding
organic seeds or starts. Even if these are not available in your
area, your dedication to growing organic is admirable and worthwhile.
Organic seeds may be purchased by mail order.
If using starts, you may have to give in and buy the non-organic
ones available in your local nursery, but ask around! The resources
close by may surprise you.
You will find that an organic vegetable garden is more sustainable
in many ways. By avoiding the use of pesticides and herbicides you
will maintain healthy soil for years of successful growing seasons.
Because you have not indiscriminately eliminated living things from
your land, these creatures will continue to thrive and to aid in
your garden's health.
