Real Estate Matters In October

The falling leaves drift by my window, oh the wonderful month of October with all of its glorious colors.  Before we discuss RADON I would like to take a moment to tell you about the National Do Not Call list.  It will only take a minute of your time and it blocks your number for five years from those pesky telemarketers.  After September 26 all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale calls and you will be charged for these calls. To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222. YOU CANNOT CALL FROM A DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBER

And now down to business about that strange gas that gets in our basements and crawl spaces.
