Las Vegas National Golf COurse & Paradise Palms Neighborhood

New developments for the Las Vegas National Golf course and the development of the course which can impact the surrounding Mid Century Neighborhood surrounding the course.
The neighbors of this community have formed an unofficial association or "network" to rally together to protect the integrity of the golf course and the neighborhood. A great website, although geared mainly for residents, is really a COMMUNITY CALL TO ACTION. I encourage everyone to spend some time on the website, and in particular under the "videos" section to see some of the news coverage to catch you up to speed as to whats been going on.
Additionally, there are letters from the current owner of the golf course, and what the intentions are in regards to the zoning. Even if you are not directly affected, it casts a larger nest for the Las Vegas community.

Please hit the site , http://www.savethecourse.com/ to catch yourself up and support the community as much as you can.

You can also type in LVGOLFCOURSE on http://www.youtube.com/ for direct links about the current happenings.

My hats off to this community for rallying together and making such a HUGE impact and helping preserve a part of Las Vegas History.

Eco-Friendly Counter Tops

Well it is time...I need to get rid of the laminate counter tops I currently have in my kitchen. They have neared the end of their life expectancy and need an overhaul.
I started my search for Eco-Friendly counter top options and have determined 3 great choices that are readily available, and easy to get here in Las Vegas. Granite is out of the question, Radon issues as well as the fact that granite needs to be mined....enough said. Lots of choices out there, and this is in no way a comprehensive list. Prices Vary so shop around.
Options to consider:

Recyclyed glass:

Simply it keeps glass out of our waste stream and the concrete, cement or resin used to hold the glass together usually is mixed with fly ash, a by product of coal burning. These counters come in a variety of colors natuarally or can be stained to match any decor. Prices vary but cost is similar to granite, about $50-$60 a sq ft.

Recycled Paper:

This stuff looks great, and is more than likely going to be my choice. Uses post consumer recycled paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, and non-petroleum, formaldehyde-free resins, some made from cashew nut shell liquid. These are available in 1/4 inch to 2" thick, and come in a ton of colors. Heat & stain resistant. I have found it locally for between $36 and $59 a sq ft.

End Grain Bamboo:

Bamboo is a great substitute for wood because its fast growth makes it more renewable. Low-off-gassing glues don't harm indoor air quality. Available in a natural hue or a brown color these rectangular pieces of bamboo are glued together in 1 1/2 inch thickness pieces. The cheapest of the bunch, around $25 a sq ft.

New Blog!

Well, finally, a new blog site! This one promises to be much more fun and creative....The other "professional" site I was on was great...but I felt a need to keep it VERY real estate focused rather than inclusive of some design elements and suggestions from folks. I'll re-post some of the most recent postings on the other site here...and then we are off and running!

I would love the feedback and comments as we go!
