Is your basement finish legal?
Many times home buyers fall in love with a property and make an offer on it. If the basement has been finished, there are important steps to take for safety and resale value.
A good home inspector will look at the quality and safety of the home including the basement. He may or may not check to see if the basement was finished with a building permit. Guess what–this info is available to the public online. Read the rest of this entry »

USAFA Commissary…Is it worth the trip?
I made my monthly trip to the commissary this weekend and yes, it was worth it! For you who are civilians and reading this, you might want to just skip to the next post. This will not mean anything to you but for military people who are moving to Colorado Springs, this could have some meaning.
I do admit that I split my shopping between the King Soopers in my neighborhood and the USAFA commissary. I think that most people do that unless they happen to live on base. I don’t have time to drive up to the Academy if I am out of milk but definitely use the store for my big shopping.
As commissaries go this one at USAFA rates a 6 on a scale of 1-10. My dream store would have a much bigger selection and of course be just like my neighborhood grocery store. The store at Peterson AFB is much larger and nearly new but still has that “commissary” feel to it.
Things I like about the USAFA commissary:
Close to my house (I live in Flying Horse Ranch near the North Gate of USAFA).
Small and usually not crowded
Good selection of the basics that I like to stock up on
Things that I hate about the USAFA commissary:
The produce department is terrible! I just skip it other than maybe buying potatoes.
Holiday displays make this small store too crowded.
Not enough selection of certain items. This is typical of all commissaries so it’s not that big of a deal.
All in all, this store is a good one. When I was an active duty spouse, my first thing to locate when we made a PCS move was the commissary. Having a decent place to shop has always been important to me. The store at USAFA certainly does meet my needs. If you plan to live in the northern part of Colorado Springs, this is the closest facility. The store at Peterson AFB is new and mega big but it is located on the far east part of the base and is about 40 minutes from my home. Just not worth it for me but for you it could very well be great.
