Going Green

Need help in selecting environmentally friendly flooring? Think green.
No, we’re not talking Astroturf here. In this case, “green” means the use of environmentally friendly materials that are either readily renewable or made from recycled products. Several green certification programs and directories are available to help remodelers, builders and homeowners make that selection.
For example, the National Wood Flooring Association looks to The Forest Stewardship Council to certify wood flooring products as green when the material comes from forests operated under sustainable forest management practices. Other organizations, such as BuildingGreen Inc. (http://www.buildinggreen.com), publisher of the GreenSpec® Directory and Environmental Building News, qualify and list other green flooring alternatives, such as natural linoleum, cork and concrete

Boating on Lake Wylie, Part 5
December 21, 2009 by Becky Smith · Leave a Comment
December on Lake Wylie is a completely different experience than boating during the summer months. There are only a few boats out on the water. The lake itself is still beautiful with wildlife and scenic views.

(CNNMoney.com) — Home remodelers are getting less bang for their bucks. For the fourth straight year, renovation jobs have added less to resale values relative to their costs, according to an annual Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report released this week by the National Association of Realtors.
The average remodeling job cost $50,908 in 2009 and added $32,497 to the value of the home, a ratio of 63.8%. That was down from a cost-to-value ratio of 67.3% in 2008, when the average was $49,866 and the added value was $33,568.

| Lake Wylie, South Carolina is a vibrant and thriving community where geography, people and economic vitality have fashioned a distinctive Southern lifestyle.The leisure and excitement of lakeside living, our comfortable, small town atmosphere and convenient proximity to regional commercial and cultural centers make Lake Wylie the perfect setting to live and do business. |
| For enterprising individuals, growing families and active retirees, Lake Wylie is indeed the perfect setting for home and business.

Lake Wylie is 17 miles from Charlotte, one of the nation’s fastest growing commercial and financial centers and site of Charlotte Douglas International Airport; 15 miles from Rock Hill, strongly emerging as an economic hub in piedmont South Carolina; and less than 75 miles from Columbia, the capital of the Palmetto State. |
Residents of Lake Wylie also enjoy the advantage of living little more than a three-hour drive from the celebrated Carolina beaches and the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Easy access to all points beyond the engaging surroundings of Lake Wylie, if desired, is provided by SC Highway 49, I-77 and I-85. |

The temperate, yet wonderfully distinct, seasonal changes not only enhance the area’s beauty, but also afford year-round enjoyment of such outdoor pastimes as golf, tennis and bicycling.
