On HGTV one time, I saw a shipping container home built in Maine, featured on the show “Extreme Living”. I was able to find it in google.com. Here’s the link: http://www.gossiprocks.com/forum/home-garden/98438-shipping-container-home-brooklin-maine.html

I had no idea you kept track of everything people view on your blog. I can see why Kenny Roger’s home was viewed a lot because it’s a nice home.

I’m not trying to be rude at all, but I don’t believe that’s Kristen’s or Robert’s house because I searched on google.com and no where else does it say anything about that being their home. Also personally, I don’t trust US Weekly, OK, or Star magazine. They are usually misleading and make up lies about celebrities. That’s why I don’t go to their websites. Instead, I go to people.com because they are actually truthful.

I love some of the mansions that person featured on their blog. I too love looking at beautiful homes online and dream about living in one of them. Too bad I am not rich. Oh well, if I was rich, I would probably be a spoiled brat.

I hope you have a great Father’s Day with your family.

Kim–

Thanks for the link! Yes, WordPress tells me how many times each of my posts is viewed each day. I’m a little puzzled by Kenny Rogers being so popular this week because I wrote that post 2 years ago. Has he been in the news lately and I missed it? -Julia

loved the home inspection nightmares….our house was built in 1890 and had some sloping floors. We figured the house is old, it will need some foundation work, not a big surprise. What WAS a big surprise was that someone had cut out huge chunks of the support beams in order to run heating ducts under the house in the 1980′s. The entire main wall that goes up to the second story wasn’t even ON anything. Nice.

Julia,
Your Welcome! I went to http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0737006/ and it shows that Kenny Rogers is going to be on the Wendy Williams show this Tuesday, but I have no idea what that show is. If you ever want to know if a celebrity is going to be appearing on tv, whether it’s a movie, tv show or interview, you can go to imdb.com and look up a celebrity. It will show under Us tv schedule if they are set to be on tv. If not, there won’t be anything.

I think that’s neat that WordPress shows what things people are viewing on your site. That way you can keep track of people’s comments.

As always–great!
Love the SoHo townhouse. I was surprised by the interiors. It looks very scandinavian in design and furnishings.
And those inspection nightmares are… well… nightmares!

Julia,
Thanks for sharing the Outer Banks Trading Group. I love the art work of My Island Gallery shown there. I looked at them all and loved them all. It was hard to decide on a favorite. My husband surprised me with one for my birthday and I love it! I hoping to add another one soon. We live in Fl. about seven miles from the Gulf beaches. I am slowing adding a beach decor to our house.

Sue
