The water is of very good quality but it is very hard water. I didn’t really fully understand the term “hard water” for a number of years, but […]
No matter where you live in North America, you must have seen some humorous cartoons depicting a not-so-trustworthy real estate agent trying to sell a house to an innocent-looking couple. My favorite cartoon, which still makes me laugh, goes back a few years to when I was working in real estate at United Realty. She involved a real estate agent […]
