Outdoor Living 6.1.2010

Last week’s outdoor living posting provided a few resources for designing your outdoor living space. This post will provide a few resources for selecting the proper grill. Propane, gas or charcoal, this is a decision no one should take lightly. Hopefully you’ll find these useful:

As with the last post, we will finish it off with a great grilling recipe. To me, nothing says summer like grilled salmon. If I’m going to grill salmon, cedar planks are the way to go. The flavor of salmon grilled atop a cedar plank is second to none. I dare you try.

Outdoor Living: 5.23.2010

As the end of spring approaches, my thoughts turn to the outdoors. Living in the Tri-Cities, I am lucky be able to take part in the best asset of Eastern Washington…..summer.

While most of my day is spent working with my clients to find the home of their dreams or working to find a seller for their previous home, the night belongs to the family. To me, summer and family equals outdoor living.

Being a real estate agent isn’t always about the buy and sell of houses. Sometimes it is about enjoying the house you have. With that in mind, I’m starting an eight-week blog series on outdoor living. I am aiming to have one blog posting a week centered on creating and enjoying the famed Tri-Cities summer in style.

To start it off, I figured I would provide a few great resources for ideas on creating the ultimate outdoor living space. Here are a few ideas that I thought my readers would like:
