Stay Warm This Winter with Fireplace Repair in Long Island
Many homeowners will be lighting up their fireplaces for the first time in months as they feel a bit of chill in the air at the start of winter. However, what would happen if your fireplace stopped functioning properly in the middle of the winter? 
Fireplace Repair in Long Island for your home is an investment for the complete enjoyment of your fireplace. Possible dangers like gas leaks and chimney fires are prevented with routine maintenance performed by a certified expert. In addition, a well-maintained fireplace will operate at its best, keeping your house toasty and comfortable throughout the winter and saving you money on energy costs.
Reasons to Get Your Fireplace Serviced:
Protection and Efficiency: You can make sure your fireplace is running safely and efficiently by conducting regular repairs. This includes inspecting for potential risks, cleaning components, and testing the gas pressure. Not only will a well-maintained fireplace keep you warm, but it will also reduce your expensive energy costs. Expert cleaning also improves the aesthetic appeal of your fireplace, letting you enjoy the lovely flames and warm atmosphere it creates for a truly wonderful winter's evening.
Improved Performance: Dust, dirt, and debris build up in fireplaces over time and can cause a variety of issues, including clogged systems that make it difficult to fire up the fireplace. Buildup causes poor flame quality that reduces heat and ambiance and decreases total heat output, making your home feel colder. These problems can be resolved with a professional cleaning, guaranteeing that your fireplace lights up effortlessly, produces lovely flames, and generates enough heat.
Peace of Mind: Relaxation will be gained by routine maintenance performed by a trained expert, especially with gas fireplaces. To ensure reliable and secure functioning, these appliances require specialized knowledge and complicated components. An expert can see possible problems and take care of them before they worsen, giving you peace of mind so you can unwind and take in the coziness and warmth of your fireplace.
Regular scheduling of services offering Fireplace Repair in Long Island will help homeowners make sure their fireplaces are a safe place to stay warm. Expert maintenance will avoid problems like poor flame quality, difficulties starting the fireplace, and decreased heat production. They will also spot possible safety dangers before they become major issues or cause major accidents, like a house fire. This is especially important for older gas fireplaces, as their upkeep calls for in-depth knowledge. You can look forward to pleasant evenings spent taking in the warm light and welcoming atmosphere of a well-kept fireplace throughout the wintertime. To ensure a worry-free and cozy winter, don't wait until the bitter cold snaps; instead, act now and contact a reliable maintenance service.

The Bob July 12-16
Great Bear/Bob Marshall/Scapegoat Wilderness 
This whole area of multiple wilderness designations, within the Lewis & Clark National Forest, is referred to by locals and hikers as “The Bob.” In the middle there is Benchmark (Front Country) Campground and the Benchmark Wilderness Ranch Camp, which accepts hiker boxes for resupplies. Otherwise, it’s a 30-40 mile hitch out to the nearest towns. We hiked five ~20 mile days from Maria’s Pass to Benchmark. 
Day 1
We hitched out from East Glacier to Maria’s Pass then hiked about 5 miles with our friend Pony from the hostel. My ankles were feeling fine in the morning, but by midday they were in a lot of pain. That slowed my pacing considerably. We took our first “alt” to go around a mountain and shave off a few miles. On the alt, we went through Trapper’s Gulch, which had smooth terrain. Because I was still in pain, Owen suggested I try hiking this flat trail in my camp shoes. So I put on my rubber birks and felt significantly better almost immediately! I hiked in those the rest of the way to a lovely pine needle - cushioned campsite.
Day 2 
We started the morning with an uphill, then we made decent time on some cruisy terrain. We started the day in the forest but transitioned into a burn zone for the afternoon. I found a good technique for wrapping my ankles with ace bandages that prevented my shoes from aggravating my Achilles. We made it to our desired mileage around 4:30, and the available camping was in direct, hot sunlight. So, we pushed on. There wasn’t great camping for a while. A big thunder storm rolled in, with particularly cold wind gusts. We braved our way through that and ended up going a little over 23 miles. We didn’t see the trail junction, but started the Spotted Bear Alternate. That was our intended trail anyways. We finally got to a ranger cabin right as the rain let up. There were 3 national forest employees hanging out there on a night off. We envied their fireplace and warm beds. They let us cook and eat dinner on their porch, then we crossed a river to set up camp on an island.
Day 3
This was a VERY COLD morning! Plus, all of our stuff was wet from the night before. We also had to cross a second river to start hiking. There weren’t any good ways to cross the river except to take off our shoes and ford it. It was mid-shin high and FRIGID. As we got hiking, my ankles were in a lot of pain. To add to the rough start, I hit my head on a downed tree.
However, the day turned around as the weather warmed a bit and we climbed up into the mountains. We ate lunch at Dean Lake with a view of Pentagon Peak. Then we continued into a picturesque mountain valley and climbed up Switchback Pass. A woman coming up the other side advised us to look out for the ripe wild huckleberries on the descent. We found them and ate many; we love huckleberries!
We stayed that night at a campground next to a river with a guy named Wonder from the hostel. I also beat Owen at a game of cribbage after dinner.
Day 4
The day started with a 9 mile cruise in the woods, following the Spotted Bear River. We finished the Spotted Bear Alternate and rejoined the “red line” (main trail). We climbed up a ridge and stayed high most of the day. We passed by My Lake, which seemed like a peaceful spot frequented my moose. Eventually we got to the Chinese Wall, which is a 12 mile long escarpment (a rock wall). It was quite stunning and probably the most beautiful feature we’d seen since Glacier. We walked along the wall for 5-6 miles then finally descended to a campground next to a hidden waterfall into a grotto/pool.
Day 5
We started the day with some cruisy woods walking, which made for fast miles. We got to a river and saw a black bear munching and hanging on the other side of the river. He acknowledged us but remained calm, because the river provided a buffer between us. We continued on and left the woods. We ran into a National Park Service volunteer who called himself Ranger Rick. He gave us tootsie rolls. We walked on and got hot and dry in the sun. We passed the time with some singing. It got hotter and drier. FINALLY, we got to a river, where we washed our clothes, filled our water, and ate lunch. We got to the Benchmark Campground and had to walk another 2 miles down the dirt road (in the sun) to the Benchmark Wilderness Ranch Camp. We eventually got a hitch in the back of a pickup. We got our food from the ranch, hitched back to the Straight Creek Trailhead, and walked in to find a camping spot. We found a great place to camp by the river and took a river bath. It was a lovely end to a hot day.

Harman Pellet Stove Inserts: An Efficient and Eco-Friendly Heating Solution for Your Home
Harman pellet stove inserts offer an eco-friendly and cost-effective method of heating your home. With so many other forms out there susceptible to rising fossil fuel costs, it only makes sense to find a more energy-efficient and eco-friendly option.
That is why our Hearthside Fireplace & Patio team has exceptional customer service targeting your specific heating needs. We'll help you find the best product for your needs. We also have a wide range of accessories like grates, ash pans, baffles, and more to fit every budget.
Harman pellet stove inserts are an excellent solution for homes with limited space. They can be used to heat your home and provide an efficient, eco-friendly heating solution during winter. These inserts comprise a unit that fits into an existing fireplace or wood stove.
The pellet fuel is burned in the firebox, producing heat distributed throughout your home through vents in the walls, flooring, and ceiling. Pellet stoves are very efficient because they burn all combustible materials (including sawdust) completely, so there's no smoke or odor produced while they're running. That is a fantastic feature ideal for people with allergies or sensitive respiratory systems.
With Harman pellet stove inserts, you benefit from some distinct advantages compared with traditional fireplaces. They're far more efficient, cleaner, and quieter than open flames. It is also much easier to keep them clean because they produce far less ash than conventional fires. That means less time monitoring your wood levels or smoke and more time curled up on the couch with your partner and a great book.
The cost of using pellets as fuel depends mainly on where they're purchased. For example, our professional team is able to secure fantastic deals and manufacturer discounts based on the season. Investing in a quality Harman pellet stove insert will save you money on your monthly utility bills while also reducing your carbon footprint. Most pellets are made from recycled materials and have a low impact on the environment compared to other forms of fuel, like oil or propane.
Pellets are also easy to store. They come pre-packaged in bags or bins, so all you have to do is bring them inside when it's time for the heating season. You'll never have trouble finding room for them. Just keep them in an area where there's some ventilation (like near an open window) so they don't get too damp or moldy during storage periods between uses at home.
Harman pellet stove inserts are a great option for homeowners looking for a reliable, eco-friendly heating solution. These stoves feature advanced technology that makes them easy to operate and customizable in several ways. You’ll benefit from:
Fuel and monthly bill cost savings.
Sustainable fuel sources that are better for the environment compared to oil or gas.
Highly efficient heating source that is easy to use.
Simplified cleaning system that doesn’t require additional support.
Long-lasting heating supply with extended dependability.
Advanced engineering with easy touch controls and feeding solutions to make your home heating a breeze.
If you have questions about installing a safe and reliable Harman pellet stove insert, give us a call at Hearthside Fireplace & Patio. We are committed to providing the best customer service possible. Our locally owned business has an excellent reputation around Rhode Island and Massachusetts, serving the needs of homeowners with quality products and expert advice on all things related to wood pellet stoves and inserts.
Harman pellet stove inserts are a great way to heat your home in a more eco-friendly manner. They offer many benefits over traditional heating sources, including lower operating costs and reduced emissions. If you're interested in learning more about how these inserts work or want to start planning your installation today, contact us!

Scratching at the Door | #HW201
Prompt: Creature Feature/ Cryptids 
Summary: Emily is given a new job at a national state park, where something watches her through the windows, and scratches at the door. 
Read on AO3 here 
Emily could feel her stomach contract as the old Sedona made its way over the packed dirt path. Its giant wheels didn’t’ struggle as much as her pension for keeping her breakfast down. She instinctively grasped at the foam-covered bars that kept tourists seated and tried to will her first meal to stay put.
The yellow paint was chipping away to a rusty red and the logo “Fort Worth Guided Tours” had long ago faded away. They had tried to fix it with a poor attempt at gluing on a plastic design instead, but it was just as bad under the mercy of the sun.
Emily realized she had stopped listening just as they ducked under another canopy of trees. The sun that had been burning her skin raw vanished, if only momentarily, as the ride decided to smooth out.
“Not many people come out here in our offseason,” The woman at the wheel said over the sputtering engine. “Fort Worth is a beauty all year round but it’s more of a summer destination- Gee, you don’t know how glad I am that we found you. The job isn’t too taxing, I promise.”
The girl bit her tongue and laughed nervously. The forest stretched out for miles in front of them; Emily could hear water on all sides of them but hadn’t been able to locate its source yet. The air was beginning to sting against her cheeks and she loosened her death grip on the bars.
She had been staying at a motel right off the highway that smelled strongly of stale cigarettes and off-brand detergent. Someone had tossed a newspaper into the bin by the vending machines and against her better judgment, she pulled it from the old receipts and food wrappers. An ad for a winter caretaker was among the classifieds. Emily jumped on the chance for permanent room and board.
She had fibbed in her initial interview about previous experience; but as Chloe said, it wasn’t a difficult job and both of them took an instant liking to one another. So she considered herself lucky. Emily would fake it until she made it, and by then, the summer season would be in full effect and she could head to whatever small town she threw a dart at on the map next.
Chloe beamed and stepped on the gas a little harder to get over a big dip in the trail. “There are a few people who go fishing on the lake in the early mornings, but most of the time it’s just you and a few other employees. You’ll hardly see them.”
“What exactly am I doing?” Emily asked, holding her breath as Chloe took a sharp corner. She tried not to look at the steep fall to her right. “The ad wasn’t really specific.”
“You just need to keep an eye on the property. The City owns most of this place and they have pretty shallow pockets if you know what I mean. We put almost every other staff member on sabbatical. For the most part, it’s just you and the night shifter.”  
Emily nodded along like she understood and let the rest of the ride go as smoothly as possible until an old cabin came into view. It looked dusty; it’s wood paneling enveloped in the thick forest. There was an old grill and a hammock that had been wrapped inside of itself. The engine cut off entirely, and it made her ears ring.
She could smell the water, and hear the river trickling somewhere west of the structure. Chloe hoisted the one duffel bag out of the backseat and reached with her other hand for the rifle that Emily hadn’t known was there. She had never fired one off before, but that was one of the formalities that she blurred to get this position in the first place.
Her boots crunched on the gravel and she minded her weight on the creaking steps leading to the cabin door more than Chloe did. The door had been painted red at one time, a bloody-pulpy color that had faded away. There were sets of long scratches against the remaining color. Emily moved the pads of her fingers against the gashes and felt a chill run up her arm.
“What made these?” She asked. Chloe glanced up from her task of finding the keys to the cabin. Her crystal eyes reflected green under the trees. She narrowed them and finally grabbed hold of her prize.
“All sorts of animals out on Greer Island. Some of them are more curious than others.” She shoved the rifle into Emily’s hands. It was weighty and smelled old. “That’s why you have this.”
Whatever- free room and board. She could deal with a couple of bears and some daring deer. It was better than the cheap motel room and the scratchy sheets. It was a much better improvement than the backseat of her Toyota. She followed Chloe into the cabin.
A thin layer of dust covered the entire place; there was an old plaid couch and a matching chair that sat adjacent to the grey stone fireplace. A bookshelf devoid of much reading material was pushed against a far wall below a taxidermy bison that looked like it was missing an eye. The place had an open floor plan and lead directly into the kitchen. There were two closed doors that held firmly onto that crimson color.
Chloe set the duffel bag down with a loud thud, Emily felt her fingers clench around the barrel of the gun and her shoulders edge up to her ears. She stifled a profanity and took a few more steps into the little cabin.
“The fridge is fully stocked.” She continued, “I’m out here once a month to restock everything for you. There isn’t much service, but there is a walkie-talkie in the bottom right drawer that has enough power to get to the main cabin. If it’s storming, that’s not the case.”
Emily nodded again and tried to comprehend the quick instructions. Chloe talked too fast, she decided. But she listened eagerly. “What do I do if it storms?”
“Either use that gun or run like hell. You can try both but” Chloe frowned and ran her finger over the edge of the rickety kitchen table and picked up a layer of dirt. “Christ this place is dusty. Anyway, you have four patrols around the lake each day. It takes an hour for each one. Between them, you can do whatever you want except for swim in the water. That’s how you catch something nasty.”
“What exactly am I looking for?”
Chloe shrugged “Anything out of the ordinary. If you see people fishing make sure you check for their license. The date of expiration is on the top right corner. If they’re expired, ask them to leave and radio into the main cabin so they can keep their eyes peeled.”
“Ok.”
“And whatever you do, make sure you finish your last patrol before dark. The sun sets around Six right now but it’ll change to five soon enough. Make sure you have enough firewood and lock the door. Don’t open it until your morning patrol.”
“Ok,” She dragged the word out this time. Something about Chloe’s change in demeanor made her itch uncomfortably. There was a stillness to the air. “Sounds simple enough.”
“Like I said, not too taxing, you can get some writing done up here, I’m sure.” She was beaming again, like the desolate nature of her words hadn’t weighed so heavily on the atmosphere. She dusted her hands off on her jeans and informed Emily that her uniform was in the closet (Which she learned was the door to the left).
“Oh, and Emily?”  
“Yeah, boss?”
Chloe was standing with her hand on the door. She left the metal key they used to enter on the table on the clear spot that was wiped away earlier. Her eyes were that dark and stormy blue again. “Whatever calls to you in the middle of the night ignore it. It’s not real.”
Emily didn’t sleep well that night, despite the four-post bed being the closest thing she’s felt too comfortable in months. Chloe’s words weighed heavily on her, and she locked the three deadbolts that she hadn’t noticed before. She had located the radio and kept that on the nightstand until she fell into a fitful slumber.
The sun rose right at six and her alarm started blaring. She slid on the jacket with Lake Worth’s logo on the breast and the sleeve before following the clearly marked trail towards the water. It was a simple walk and it was too early for her to spot anyone fishing.
She ended up back at the cabin at 7:30 and collapsed in a cold heap on the dusty couch. It was oddly silent and she had two more hours to kill before she had to make the trek again. Chloe was right; she would get a lot of writing done here.
Emily brewed some coffee and downed two cups as she wrote a decent part of her manuscript, papers spread over the kitchen table. The alarm on her watch went off a few minutes before 10:00 am and she made her way back to the lake.
The autumn sun was warm against her cheeks and she decided to enjoy the walk more this time. She breathed in the scent of the season and kept her eyes out for anyone on the water. She checked one fishing license and went on her way.
Her next patrol wasn’t until 3:00 pm so she decided to crack open one of the many books on the shelf. She chose “The Howling” by Gary Brandner and settled onto the couch, getting lost in the cheesy horror novel from the ’60s.
Emily had fallen easily into the routine three days in; she did each patrol but struggled immensely to beat the sunset on her fourth walk around the lake. It was colder and it made her move slower.
The scratching started on the seventh day. Her world had grown colder and she had fallen into an easy routine of walking around the lake. She left the double-barrel rifle next to the front door but made sure the radio was strapped to her belt.
The first night she heard it was no different. She had nearly forgotten Chloe’s foreboding words, but it had become a habit to lock the door at night. She missed the moon and the crisp dark air. But even still, she headed the warning.
Emily had dozed off on the couch with the book at her side. It’s heavy spine hitting the floor startled her awake. The fire she had stoked burned out and her heart pounded in her chest. But that wasn’t what had stirred her, no, it was a dull scratching- barely noticeable if it weren’t for the quiet of the cabin.
She sat up and stared at the door.
It budged at the pure force of the animal on the other side, and Emily figured that she had been reading too much about the occult. As Chloe said, some beasts are more curious than others, and she had dead-bolted everything. She watched the door for a few more tedious moments before crawling into bed.
Emily saw the tracks the next day.
They were unlike any animal she had come across before; long and jaded. It’s nails dug into soft clay earth and trailed right up to her front door. There were fresh slashes in the red paint- and she swallowed back her discomfort.
She had to call the cabin on her fourth walk that day, the sun was setting faster than she cared to admit and she trudged through the icy path. An orange light coated the earth as she thought strangely of the animals around her. The particular animal that started to wait under her window at night, it’s breath fogging the glass. She made it to her porch just as the soft pink of the sky faded to a darker blue, almost black.
Emily had another restless sleep, like her first night in the cabin. There was the same scratching at her door and the radio crackled with feedback next to her. She wondered if anyone else heard the thing past her walls.
Chloe brought her new supplies on the tenth day, stating that the roads were a lot worse than usual and that a big snowfall had cleared out the entire grocery store in town. She presented her with stale bread and some orange juice that had enough pulp to create the fruit that it came from. Her boss stuck around and fried up some eggs.
“The scratches on the door,” Emily started.
Chloe stilled her movements, she had the blunt end of the spatula against the iron skillet. But it was just a beat where she was taken aback, barely noticeable. “Mm, have they been bad?”
“No. I mean, as normal as they can be. What kind of animal sounds like that?”
“We’re not sure. Not one you want to mess with.”
She tipped the pan over and divided the eggs evenly between the two before sitting in the rickety chair across from Emily. She didn’t wait to dig in, shoving a good heaping of the food into her mouth. Emily figured it avoidance.
“You said something about it calling out to me”
Chloe stopped the fork halfway to her mouth, a large glob of yellow yolk splashed into the grooves of the table. She lowered it and sat back in her seat. “Has it?”
“It hasn’t.”
“Good.”
She dropped the subject after that. They ate the rest of their breakfast in silence and Chloe left before the next time Emily had to trudge along the lake. It was getting harder, the colder it was, to get back to the cabin before nightfall. She gripped the radio tighter and let the eggs settle to the bottom of her stomach like rocks.
She put what Chloe said out of her mind until the scratching began again.
Emily had another fitful sleep. The air was growing colder and it made her chest ache. She rose when the sun did and took her first walk around the lake. She spotted two fishermen by the edge of the water and stopped just short of the tree line.
“Howdy,” one of the men said, he reached instinctively for his wallet, and Emily, drowsy from sleep, thanked him. “You’re new.”
“You’re out here a lot?”
She checked both of their licenses and watched as they effortlessly slid them back into one of their pockets. The sky was overcast and there was an odd stillness to the water. The man who had stayed quiet smiled widely and nodded. The fishhooks on his hat clinked together.
“Oh yeah, all the time. Most people don’t like to be out here in the cold but we love it. Fewer tourists and people trying to get a look at that dumb lake monster, they simply scare him off if you ask me.”
The other man shoved a pointed elbow into his friend “You know that shit ain’t real. It’s a money pit. Hell, they have shirts and bumper stickers. It’s nothing but a legend.”
“No, remember Mike? It hopped down from the trees an’ slashed all four of his tires. That’s why his hair is grey.”
“Mike Granger? His hair is grey because he’s an old lying bastard.”
Emily watched the exchange with wide eyes. She didn’t know much about this sleepy little town. She had pulled into the motel in the late hours and only spoke with one woman. Her voice was husky from years of smoking and the only vacancy sign in the place buzzed like a trapped fly. She should have paid more attention- should have eaten at a diner or asked Chloe more questions, even if she didn’t get the answers she wanted.
“I’m sorry… monster?”
Both men stopped their arguing and stared at her. She waited as her breath pooled past her lips. They were dried and cracked and tasted like blood. The taller one cocked an eyebrow and sent a narrow glance at his friend.
“Now, surely you didn’t take this job without knowing the Lake Worth Monster.”
She shrugged dejectedly “I’m afraid I did.”
“It’s a big hairy beast. Half goat, half-man, some bloke even said he can shapeshift. It’s got scales too and apparently claws long enough to slice tires. It’s been around since 1969 and our little town has capitalized on it since then. Like I said, a complete marketing scheme.”
Emily hugged her jacket closer and nodded. She thanked both of the men and continued on her way. She didn’t stop until she was back at her cabin. Her breath was shallow and she knelt down to stare at the long scratches on the door.
She struggled to put the beast out of her mind, to forget what the two strangers had said. She had checked and then double-checked the locks but still, she worried. Her eyes trained themselves on the ceiling and she listened as something crawled below her bedroom window.
Emily woke the next morning to the radio crackling. She reached for it blindly. “Hmm?”
“Emily, do you copy?”
“I copy.”
“I know it’s early. There’s been an accident. I need you to meet the sheriff down on the south side of the lake.”
Emily sat up and cursed herself for the quick movement as stars danced against her eyes. She pressed her palm against her forehead and blinked hard until they faded away. She squeezed the radio and told Chloe that she understood, even though she didn’t.
She saw the caution tape and the flashing lights that looked brighter under the half-risen sun. The sheriff was a tall woman with dirty blonde hair and soft pink lips. She was bundled up more than Emily and stood with her boots at the edge of the icy hardened shore. There was an overturned boat and the crackling of a radio other than hers.
“Emily, I presume?”
She nodded and her head was spinning “What’s all of this about?”
“Two fishermen are missing to the public.”
“What does that mean?”
“As far as anyone else knows, they’re just missing.” The sheriff grimaces and fixes her hat. “They were mutilated.”
Emily swallowed the dark feeling in her stomach. “By what?”
“You mean who?”
“Yeah, yes. By who?”
Emily didn’t’ mean by who; she meant what she had said and the sheriff stared at her as if she were to head back to the cabin and never speak of it again. Did this town have a vow of silence in the winters? She sheepishly kicked at the gravelly sand and listened as the woman spoke evenly.
“We don’t know. We were hoping that you had seen something but Chloe explained that you wouldn’t have. Said you were really good at your job and the time that these men were killed doesn’t line up with one of your patrols. I still wanted to speak to you.”
She could smell the blood and the way it mixed with the black water and looming fog. She wondered if they didn’t’ follow the rules and hadn’t gotten inside before the sun moved behind the horizon. This was the price to pay, for insolence.
Emily answered the remaining questions that the sheriff had before trudging back to the cabin. This time, she didn’t’ stop to feel the scratches on the door. This time she slammed it behind her and flopped onto the couch. She must have fallen asleep.
It was nearly dark, and she was late by the time she woke up. She had missed both of her midday patrols and wasn’t about to miss the fourth. Her body ached from the uncomfortable position she had winded up in. Emily slid on the jacket and thought twice before grasping at the shotgun behind her. It’s weight nearly throwing her off.
She was tired and the air was buzzing with electricity. There was a storm brewing and half of her knew that the rain would come down as slush instead of simple water. The twilight sky had clouds blocking a half-moon.
Emily had a job to do, and she wasn’t about to lose this one like she had the others. She had convinced herself, in the few weeks of solitude, that the manuscripts were coming along nicely because of the environment and the way she could listen to her own breath and the sounds of the cabin settling.
The sheriff and the boat, and the horrid scent of dried blood had been swept away with the wind. She kept further away from the shore, only stalling for a moment as the color in the sky began to fade away to black.
Emily didn’t know why she stopped. Why she listened to the ripples hit the shore and her own stilted steps against the sand. Her toes were numb, two pairs of socks not enough to keep the cold at bay. She recalled a conversation she had with Chloe the second time she dropped off supplies. This time she brought Emily a notebook and some pens- a few books about the Holocaust to lighten the mood.
It wasn’t a funny joke, but she chuckled anyway. “Thank you for taking this job, Emily. I’ve really taken a liking to you, you know?”
“I like you too, Chloe.”
She had flipped through the pages of the book and faired that if she got really desperate, she would give them a shot. She wasn’t’ much into history and neither was Chloe, seeing as she left them here with not much care.
“You been hearing weird things at night?”
“No,” She lied, setting the book on the step next to her “Whatever it was must have gotten bored enough.”
Chloe nodded and smiled before climbing back into her dusty yellow jeep and heading off to her next destination. Emily sat on the porch and watched her go. She breathed in the musty scent of the trees around her and flexed her fingers. Emily had made up her mind a few nights ago.
She wasn’t sure if she should watch the sun settle behind Lake Worth. If she should plant her feet in the sand and wait until whatever it was that wanted her came. A bit of caution tape was left behind, its plastic hissed in the wind so loud that she nearly didn’t hear the twig breaking.
Chloe had been hiding something; and as foolish as it was, Emily needed to know what. Those men, those that had settled onto the rocky lake with the intention of fishing had to be one of many. One of maybe thousands. Her morbid curiosity was too much.
Emily heard it before she saw it. She waited for something and nothing all at once, her breath solidifying in front of her as night finally fell. She hadn’t seen the way the sky lit up with stars all at once- but she enjoyed it now. Her eyes traced the constellations.
She clenched her eyes shut until those stars appeared within her mind and the sound of the water lapping at stones and sand and dirt moved over her ears. Almost too loud for her to hear it. Almost. Emily felt the heat of its sour breath on her shoulder, and even from where she stood, she knew it towered.
Emily drew in a cold, ragged breath and she tightened the grip on a gun, she didn’t even know how to use.

On Rejections
You have a potential client. He has ignored or rejected your attempts in offering your services.  
This is not the time to move on. Keep on targeting the potential client. Your previous attempts have stuck in his mind, and, as long as your contacts with him are not too frequent, the next contact may prove successful!
“No” means “Not today.” Don’t accept the end of business relationships and potential sales. Persistency wins the day!

we buy houses for cash Baltimore-  Building a house Cost
Were you searching for facts on fast home solutions?
Tumblr media
There are many sources from which to glean real estate buying information. All of the options can leave you feeling a bit dizzy. You should take the time to find information specific to your needs. Below you will find some very useful tips for making your upcoming purchase go as smooth as possible.
When you enter the arena of real estate purchasing, be wary of mortgages with balloon payments. Balloon payments are surprisingly large payments the mortgage owner is required to make at the end of the loan term. They are ethically doubtful, and they usually indicate that the loan provider is unscrupulous. When you identify balloon payments, stay away!
Spend some time shopping for your home before you contact a realtor. If you have an idea of exactly what you are looking for and the correct price range, two to three times your yearly gross, it makes the job for your realtor much easier. Your realtor can then target specific homes that will make it on your short list.
To find the perfect home, you should establish a list of features that you will be looking for. This can include the size, the number of rooms or the location. Knowing what you want should help you go through a large number of ads quickly and select the homes that correspond to your needs.
When trying to buy a house remember that the color of a roof can mean just as much as the sturdiness of it. If the house you want to buy is in a cold climate, then a darker roof will hold in heat better. A lighter roof reflects heat and is ideal in warmer climates.
Look into your credit score and history before applying for a mortgage. If you find that your score is less than 620, you may want to rethink buying a home at this time and work on building that score up to at least, 690. The better your credit score, the better interest rate you will get on your home.
If you've made an offer for a house that seller didn't take, don't be discouraged, since you might find a better home. They may be willing to cover the price of the closing costs or make some repairs to the home before you move in.
Real estate is still the best investment you can make. If you take out a loan to buy your home, you are earning interest in appreciation on someone else's money. Even after you pay the mortgage and insurance, the government subsidizes that by taking it out of your income as a deduction.
You have just read a lot of different advice on home buying. If you didn't take notes when you read the article, it is a good idea to go back through and write down or highlight all the facts that you found useful. Then you can reference the information you need very quickly.
