AsktheBuilder.com News - January 20, 2015

Dear ,

Have you seen the new buttons here in the newsletter?

They're different colors and have different messages. Pay attention to them from now on.

Craig McCluskey sent me an email last night about one of them and it made me laugh out loud. Here's what he sent:

"I clicked your colored button that said:

'What's Wrong at Your House? CLICK HERE for Your Answer! It's MAGIC!'

Once there I entered, "no one wants to buy my house." The answers were interesting and took me to lots of interesting stories, none of which, however, addressed my problem. :-)"

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAA! Click the red button just below to see the page Craig saw.

As for Craig's dilemma, here's his answer. Among other things, I was a licensed real estate broker in Ohio for about 25 years. I had to give up my license when I moved to New Hampshire because there's no reciprocity between the two states.

When I was first licensed as a salesman back in February of 1975, my broker, Harry Cafeo, taught me:

"If you don't get an offer on a house within the first 30 days of it being listed, the price is TOO HIGH."

It took me about five years to figure out why that was true, but I eventually did. If you want to know WHY Harry was right, then CLICK HERE. It could help you sell your house FAST and for the BEST price.

Switching tracks, you may have been one of my subscribers wishing me good luck on my upcoming procedure involving the wretched kidney stone that assaulted me last October while on vacation in southern California.

Exploding Flashlight DANGER

Jim, a subscriber, shared with me on Sunday a sobering story. It's about a Colorado handyman who ended up in the hospital for days because he put a flashlight in his mouth. This is a MUST OPEN link. CLICK HERE NOW.
Smartphone Photography Tips

You may own a smartphone with a great camera. It can come in handy taking photos of work being done around your home by pros or as your new home is being built.

You can never have too many photos - especially since you can take them for FREE!

Watch the tips in this video for taking amazing shots. You'll be BLOWN AWAY. Thanks to my good friend Loren Power who lives in sunny and warm Hilton Head, SC for alerting me to this helpful video. 
Installing a Humidifier the RIGHT WAY!

Yesterday I received a great email from Larry Clifford who lives in Richmond, KY. He wanted to know if his humidifier had been installed correctly.

In the 48 hours before I received Larry's email, my inbox had about four other emails similar to Larry's. Each person wanted my opinion about how to install some product.

I'm willing to bet you an Aglamesis' chocolate malt you'll not guess what my answer is. Now realize I'm not talking about where to install the humidifier. The answer is deeper than that.

Want to take this silly bet? The to-die-for malts cost about $3. If you lose, just click the button below to pay up. It's the honor system.

CLICK HERE for my answer.

New Q and A's for You!






That's enough for today.
