Almost balmy temps in comparison with recent days. Â And no wind!
Other than the ice encrusted jetty…it looks like a summer day 😉

Transfer and Rental Inspections
Both Avalon and Stone Harbor require fire safety inspections for every rental property, and prior to the transfer of ownership.
Common causes for inspection failure:
1) extension cords2) smoke or carbon monoxide detectors more that 10 years old (hardwired units MUST be replaced with new hardwired units)
3) non-functioning GFI receptacles within 6′ of sinks
4) propane gas grill on the deck
Better to trouble shoot prior to the inspection and avoid re-inspection fees.

Stormy Night Ahead
Only rain so far in Avalon and Stone Harbor, NJ. Â Earlier, I checked out the inlet without getting completely drenched from the ocean spray (just a little salty!)
Will post snow pictures (??) tomorrow on Twitter.

Weather?
Winter weather at the shore is a roller coaster of temperatures and conditions.
The wind is a huge factor of course:  north west = COLD; north east = stormy/damp; south west = a winter reprieve; and south east  = a chilly spring like day.
Still worthwhile to dress accordingly…and enjoy the views!

Shore House Odors
Yesterday, I previewed a totally renovated townhouse on the bay.  Custom kitchen and baths, beautiful wood floors, attractive furnishings…AND a plug in air freshener that took my breath away!
The owner may believe the scent adds to the appeal, but I assume it’s covering up a problem. Â And potential buyers could have the same reaction.
Shore properties are closed up for long periods of time. Â Plug in air fresheners (even the scented oil diffusers) are just too strong for the space.If you want to eliminate a damp smell (after confirming it’s not caused by water issues in the crawl space or a leak), I suggest Damp Rid.
The crystals absorb moisture and remove musty smells without adding a fake, perfume odor.
Potential tenants, buyers…and their real estate agents…will appreciate the difference!
