Going Green

January 16, 2010 by Becky Smith · 1 Comment 

By Dan McLeister

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

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.

NEW YORK

By Les Christie, staff writerDecember 19, 2009: 8:57 AM ET

(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, SC

November 14, 2009 by Becky Smith · 1 Comment 

 

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. Nestled on the northwest shore of 12,455-acre Lake Wylie in York County, our community is ideally situated for both work and play. 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.
Our location, quality of life and the productive involvement of our residents have helped establish a dynamic business environment. Carefully planned infrastructure improvements and close attention to preserving the area’s natural beauty assure continued quality growth.   The Lake Wylie community offers a wide range of housing options. Elegant lakeside living, cozy wooded neighborhoods and spacious, convenient condominiums add to the feeling that you are enjoying life in a year-round resort.
The Lake Wylie community has the additional advantage of an excellent educational system. The schools our children attend are among the best in the state, employing highly qualified and dedicated teachers, building outstanding learning facilities and providing students with effective resources and advanced equipment.
Recreation is an integral part of the Lake Wylie lifestyle. With 325 miles of shoreline, the Lake is ideal for boating, fishing, water skiing and sailing. 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. For sports lovers, the NFL Carolina Panthers, the NBA Charlotte Bobcats play their home games in Charlotte and the Charlotte Knights play professional baseball at Knights Stadium a few minutes away in Fort Mill.
