Q: When I bought my condo, my building had the best golf course view from my screened porch. The golf course faced bankruptcy and was sold to a developer that built a new community. The view now consists of two overgrown trees. My community trimmed the trees until they learned the neighboring development owned them. Now our view is horrible. Is there anything we can do? –
IreneA: Questions about views are complicated because of the various facts of each situation.
The general rule is that no one
is allowed to block your direct view. Your direct view was of a neighboring golf course that was removed and replaced with houses.
The law often protects particular views like an ocean or mountain view, prohibiting buildings or landscaping from blocking them.
While a golf course view may have been among these particular views, that changed when the developer had the new development approved. That said, while the golf course view may be gone, it does not mean you need to look at untrimmed, out-ofcontrol vegetation.
You should try to work with your condominium association urging them to work with the neighboring community to improve the view. Your association can trim the parts of the trees on your side of the property line as long as doing so does not damage the health of the tree.
It may also be able to beautify your side of the property line. You can review your municipality’s ordinances to see if they contain rules regulating landscaping and tree trimming. Even if your municipality lacks specific rules covering your situation, it may still be able to help. Ask code enforcement or the building department to help deal with the problem.

Playing outside has numerous physical and mental health benefits for you and your children.
Here in Colorado, we are lucky to experience many sunny days and have close access to a wide variety of opportunities for outdoor play and recreation. Active outdoor play has great physical benefits – it helps to build strong bones and healthy bodies, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and chronic heart disease. Active play, such as climbing on a playground, chasing a ball or riding a bike is a great exercise for children.
Our bodies also need sunshine. Spending time in the sun activates vitamin D in our bodies, which is essential for bone health and a strong immune system. According to
the Harvard Medical School, time spent in the sun always promotes healthful sleep patterns. Remember to spend time in the sun safely – wear protective gear like a sun hat or sunglasses, and always wear sunscreen.
Not only is time spent outdoors good for physical health, but it also supports mental health and development. For children, outdoor play is a great way to build confidence and bravery through supervised risk-taking. As parents, it is often our instinct to protect our children. However, taking risks is a necessary part of development. Confidence built at a young age can carry through to adolescence and adulthood. Finding the middle ground between safe and risky play can help children build the skills they will need to face life’s risks and challenges in the future. Time spent in nature has also
been linked to decreased stress levels and improved mental health. Spending time outside as a family supports happier, healthier children and can strengthen your connections as a family.
As we approach the backto-school season, children and youth may spend more time indoors during the school day and working on homework than they did in the summer months. Remember to make time for outdoor play for your family this fall.
There are many ways to spend time outdoors. You can find a new hiking or biking trail to explore on weekends or pack a picnic dinner, and change up your weeknight routine by eating in your favorite local park, green space or even your backyard. If you’re feeling adventurous, find a local campground and try out camping for a weekend.
Whether you join a sports league, explore all the playgrounds in your town or take part in unstructured outdoor play in the backyard, you and your family will enjoy many physical and mental health benefits. Looking for more ideas? Explore your town or county parks department website to find new trails and parks near you and reach out to your local Extension office if you have questions on engaging children in outdoor adventures.
The tiny home craze is sweeping the nation and is becoming a lifestyle movement that promotes “tiny living,” that is, downsizing to a smaller financial and environmental footprint – or living with less, but with more freedom, time and simplicity. The concept originated as small homes built on wheels, but in many cases, has evolved into tiny homes built on foundations. Generally, these houses only have 250 to 400 square feet of living quarters designed with a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living area.
Colorado is a great place for tiny homes because more people build and live in tiny homes in Colorado than in almost any other state, according to the Denver Post. In Lyons, you’ll find WeeCasa, the world’s largest tiny home resort. After the 2013 flood demolished a mobile home park on the lot, which is located on a floodplain and does not allow for permanent residences to be built on it, the property owners had a vision for tiny houses on wheels to be parked on it. Lyons neighbors and builders partnered to share the huge variety of tiny houses they’ve built to be part of WeeCasa. If you’re interested in the possibility of buying or building a tiny home, book a stay there and see if tiny home living might be right for you. WeeCasa is not meant for full-time, year-round residences.
How feasible is it to build and live in a tiny home?
Tiny homes are certainly a possibility for creating more affordable housing. The main reason many people are turning to tiny homes is the sheer economics of a more affordable home. However, in Boulder County, by the time you purchase a lot, get permits and install the utilities and foundation, you may already have spent $200,000 before you buy the tiny home itself. Those numbers are quite high just to get started so that pretty much defeats the goal of spending a great deal less on an affordable tiny home. Tiny homes also do not qualify for mortgage loans so you may need to look into alternative financing options such as a personal loan, RV loan or loans from family and friends.
On top of that, there is likely to be a minimum square footage
requirement for a home in many subdivisions, which would automatically eliminate the ability to place a tiny home on the lot. For wider adoption of tiny homes to work in Boulder County, there would need to be some zoning changes to adapt to what the tiny home concept has become. Click here for more information about building a tiny home in Boulder County: bit.ly/2m7TwDX.
In Durango, there is a tiny home project called Escalante Village with 22 tiny home spaces. Each space is 20 feet wide and 40 feet deep. Escalante Village leases space and provides water, sewer, solar, electric, trash, recycling, internet, and community amenities. In this development, the tiny homes are on wheels and foundations are not required. There is an architectural control approval process that ensures that each tiny home has its own character. There are also 6 tiny homes for rent.
In Woodland Park, just northwest of Colorado Springs is a tiny home community called Peak View Park. These tiny homes are on wheels and the development has over 50 wooded, hillside sites. Residents pay for a monthly space to rent. Tiny homeowners can bring their own tiny home or order a new one through Peak View Park. They also sell tiny homes as the authorized dealer for Athens Park Homes.
In Milner, about 10 miles west of Steamboat Springs, the Routt County Planning Commission approved a tiny home project in February 2019. The Cheney Creek Tiny Homes have been built on foundations so that they can be bought and sold just like any other home.
In Salida, one of the largest tiny home communities in the U.S. is along the Arkansas River. Sprout Tiny Homes purchased 19.5 acres and it plans to build 200 tiny homes that will rent for affordable levels.
These are just four examples of tiny home projects in Colorado. The concept is certainly popular, but land use and zoning laws will need to be adapted across the state to create the fullest potential for providing this type of affordable housing. Right now, it seems like the greatest success for tiny homes has been in resort areas where there is a short-term rental market.
If you want to see more examples of tiny homes, one of the biggest tiny house festivals is held here in Colorado: the Colorado Tiny House Festival held in Brighton every June. It was started in 2016 and attracts more and more people each year. This year’s festival was just held on June 24 & 25 and over 20,000 people came to see 52 different tiny homes on display.

Consult your Realtor to see if a tiny home would work for you.

With the recent rain, Boulder County’s growing season is in full bloom – perfect for the plants we want in our garden. But it’s also perfect for weeds.
TOM KALINSKI
Many of the chemical weed killers are toxic to the environment and to our kids and pets, too. Our furry and young family members need a yard free of chemicals to roll around in. You could drop by your local home improvement store to nd pet-safe weed control sprays and products, but you don’t have to look farther than your kitchen for items that can do the trick. Here’s a helpful list, rst published by Better Homes
and Gardens.
Salt
Salt will kill weeds and any other vegetation, plus it will
damage the soil. So only use salt where you don’t want anything at all to grow. Salt can be used in the cracks in sidewalks, driveways, and pathways to eliminate plant growth. Just be sure the water from the salted area doesn’t run off into an area where you want plants to grow.
Vinegar has acetic acid that draws moisture out of plants, which kills the plant. Vinegar will kill any plant, so be careful to apply only to weeds. It may take several applications to work. You can increase the effectiveness by adding one tablespoon of dish soap to one gallon of vinegar. The dish soap makes the vinegar stick to the plant so it can work more quickly.
Before weeds emerge, sprinkle cornmeal around your landscaping to prevent weed growth. It keeps seeds from germinating so the weeds can’t get started.
Here’s a super environmental solution for targeted weed control: douse the weed with boiling water. It will wither and die. Meanwhile, the soil is hydrated. Tough weeds may require several applications of boiled water.
Starve your weeds of sunlight. You can use all kinds of materials to cover weeds so they don’t get the sunlight they need to survive. Mulch options include cardboard, shredded bark, leaves, evergreen needles, and rocks. As long as the material lets water through and keeps sunlight out, it can be used to maintain a weed-free area.
Pulling weeds is the one thing that gardeners want to avoid. But, if it’s needed in small areas, it’s not so bad. And it is a safe and effective method for getting rid of weeds without using toxins.

When you toy with the idea of going FSBO (For Sale by Owner) you aren’t alone. Although the number of homeowners who decide to sell without the assistance of a broker has fallen over the last decade, plenty of them still do it.
Some are successful while most, sadly, are not. If you’re thinking of selling your home yourself, consider the following statistics from the National Association of REALTORS:
The typical For Sale by Owner (FSBO) home sold for $65,000 less than those sold with the help of a real estate agent.
FSBOs find deciphering the paperwork to be the most challenging aspect of selling unassisted.
FSBOs use a yard sign as the most common marketing method, despite
the fact that buyers use the Internet to search for homes for sale.
Then there are the results of two university studies, one from the University of Chicago and the other from Northwestern University. The former found that FSBOs spend more time on the market while the latter claims that as well and that FSBOs have a lower probability of selling.
While it’s not impossible to sell your home without a real estate agent’s assistance, it is much more challenging and time-consuming. Here are a few things to consider before sticking that for-sale sign in the front yard.
Do you have the time?
Many aspects of the home sale process take huge chunks of time. Marketing requires that you write ads and take photos and post them online for buyers. Returning phone calls from buyers and showing the home requires you to be able to do everything to accommodate buyers’
schedules.
When escrow opens you’ll need to be mindful of all the time restrictions in the contract and ensure you meet all the deadlines. If you work a fulltime job, most of your leisure time will be spent trying to get your home sold.
Do you have a large network?
In a slow market, real estate agents lean heavily on their professional and personal networks to find buyers for their listings. How large is your network and is it populated with people that deal in real estate every day?
If not, your buyer pool is significantly smaller than it should be and your home may sit on the market substantially longer than it would were you to list the home with a broker.
How will you determine that buyers are qualified?
Without knowing for certain that a buyer is qualified to buy your home
you subject yourself to needlessly showing your home to everyone that calls. Preparing for showings as well as the showings themselves is timeintensive and, again, if you work a full-time job you may not have the time or the knowledge to qualify buyers before admitting them into your home.
Your home may be your most valuable asset and, as such, it deserves the care and professionalism you just won’t have with a DIY sale. From the complicated paperwork to the art of negotiating a deal, hiring a listing agent will, in the end, save you time and money.

In 1992 R.R. “Griff” Griffin opened up an HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) shop in Fort Collins.
A few years later he hired Jeff Richard as a service tech. By early 2001 Richard had worked his way up to service and retrofit manager. In 2004 he was named general manager – a position he’s held ever since.
Needless to say, they both make a pretty good team. Both hailing from Iowa, the two have built a company that takes pride in being detailoriented and rooted in customer service and honesty.
“Most of our techs have been here 15-plus years,” Richard said. “Our customers get to see the same tech or installer they had seen either earlier that year or even 10 or 12 or 15 years ago. We allow customers to build a relationship with our employees. Our techs know their house, their equipment and their set-up.”
It’s no different on the commercial side.
“That way our commercial customers deal with a tech that’s been to that site and knows the access points and where everything is, wherever that may be,” Richard said.
That commitment to customer service has led to a lifetime of relationship-building. After 37 years
in the trade and 23 with the same company, Richard has his share of memories and stories.
“I had one lady that would always
bake cinnamon rolls for me when I came out,” Richard said. “She was just super nice. And even though I’m not out in the field anymore, she’ll still send baked banana or zucchini bread back with the techs to give to me and share with the office.”
One of Richard’s favorites was when he headed out on a “no cool” call, meaning a customer called in to report their air conditioner was no longer blowing cold air.
“It was about this time of year (late July/early August) and they called us out and said they weren’t getting any cooling,” Richard said.
“Most of our techs have been here 15-plus years,” Richard said.
“Our customers get to see the same tech or installer they had seen either earlier that year or even 10 or 12 or 15 years ago.”Northern Colorado Air, Inc. is a locally owned and family operated HVAC company with more than 40 years experience. (Photo: Tamara Markard/At Home). Benjamin DeWitt checks a Lennox furnace. Preventative maintenance ensures peak performance. (Photo courtesy: Northern Colorado Air).
“I walked into their basement and saw they didn’t have a coil or any line set on the furnace. I told them ‘You don’t have central cooling in your house … just a furnace.’ They said, ‘Well, it worked last year, we clicked the thermostat to cool!’”
It turned out the previous summer had been moderate temperaturewise and the house had stayed cool naturally.
Richard grew up on a dairy farm in Iowa where he did a lot of mechanical work.
“I was always one of those kids growing up who liked to fix things,” Richard said.
So he started with a company fixing appliances and refrigeration, HVAC and doing a little of everything. He was always inquisitive and wanted to learn about all manner of appliances, HVAC systems – anything he could figure out. He also worked on commercial kitchens and cooking equipment.
So when his wife wanted to move back to her home state of Colorado, Richard started job hunting.
“Back then you couldn’t just look up reviews on a company, so I just talked with the owner and interviewed with him,” Richards said. “We had a really good feeling and liked that it was a family-owned business like we’d grown accustomed to back in Iowa. And he (Griff) was from Iowa, so that was part of the connection for me.”
Through it all, Richard has only worked for two different companies during his 37 years in the business.
Tips during the hot months Richard offered up some easy ideas for everyone dealing with higher energy bills during these stretches of 90 to 100-degree days.
“In most situations, I recommend putting the blower on your thermostat to “on” rather than “auto,” Richard said. “Especially if you live in a bi-level home, that’s going to help keep the air circulating in the house and allow you to get a jumpstart on the hottest parts of the day.”
And along those same lines, Richard recommended setting the air conditioner at the temperature you prefer earlier in the day, then letting it keep consistent as the day wears on.
“Getting that jump-start will help,” Richard said. “With some of the older systems, it was possible to come home at 2 p.m. to a hot house on a 100-degree day and still get the temperature to come down in a couple of hours.”
But newer systems are built under new guidelines designed to run for longer periods of time.
“It’s going to be really hard for your system to recover unless you got ahead of it earlier in the day,” he said.
Richard reiterated keeping the fan on – especially if you have a basement – to help recirculate the air in your house. He said ceiling fans are great for keeping air moving as well.
Finally, Richard said, check your air filter once a month, especially if you have pets. He said filters typically only need to be changed about four times per year, but everyone should check monthly.
“Also,” he added, “choose your
filters wisely. There are many grades of filters out there. A standard, cheap, 50-cent filter isn’t designed to clean your air from allergens. A high-end filter can be restrictive when it’s hot outside and some systems don’t have the motor to handle it. So really, a middle-of-theroad filter is great.”
Are you interested in exploring the exciting world of small-town rural properties that offer a unique blend of commercial and residential spaces? Look no further than multi-purpose rural properties!
These properties provide a one-of-a-kind opportunity to cultivate your lifestyle, with the potential for financial growth, relaxation, and work within a single property’s confines. Join us as we explore the many benefits of owning and developing these various properties.
Benefits of diversified spaces: Private homes, retail establishments and garage/warehouses
Each structure within a multi-purpose rural property dons a unique role, adding to the property’s versatility and commercial potential.
The standalone residences offer private living quarters that could be leased out for additional income or serve as accommodations for on-site staff. Concurrently, an operational retail store contributes to income generation and community-building by catering to local demand for goods and services. Garages and warehouses morph into flexible spaces suitable for craftwork, storage, services, or even conversion into an event or hobby spaces.
Take, for instance, the Thompson family, who ingeniously repurposed their warehouse/garage into a thriving community hub, creating a new revenue stream and reinforcing their bonds with the local community.
The value of a local real estate agent
Acquiring or managing a mixed-use rural property
can significantly benefit from engaging a local real estate agent. Their knowledge of local zoning laws, market trends, and property values is extensive and valuable. With their negotiation skills and network, they can help secure the best deals and advise on potential growth and diversification opportunities.
Maximizing business potential: Special considerations
To fully unlock the potential of a business, it’s essential to consider certain factors. A feasibility study is necessary to evaluate the feasibility of various commercial aspects of the property. Market research is a valuable tool to gain insights into local demand and competition, while a comprehensive business plan should be developed, outlining marketing, management, and growth strategies.
Discovering the potential of your acreage: Unlocking opportunities for income
If you have undeveloped land, you have endless opportunities for generating income. You can take advantage of the increasing popularity of farm-to-table movements by starting ventures like organic farming, vineyards, and orchards. Another great option is to create recreational spaces such as campgrounds, fishing ponds, or equestrian trails to attract tourists and supplement your income. Real estate development is also a lucrative option. For example, the Jones family divided their property into plots and developed some into vacation rental cabins. This strategic move ensures a steady source of passive income that complements their primary retail business.
Harnessing economic advantages: diversifying income and appreciating property value
Owning multi-purpose properties is an economically advantageous move that allows you to diversify your income. With various sources of revenue,
such as rent, retail sales, service fees, and agricultural produce, you can effectively reduce the risks of financial downturns. Moreover, the flexibility and potential for development can significantly enhance the market value of your property over time.
These properties offer more than just financial benefits. They provide an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and embrace a peaceful and interconnected lifestyle. As an owner, you can fully immerse yourself in the local community through various options such as retail businesses, recreational activities, or conservation efforts. For example, the Martins run a store showcasing locallymade crafts and produce. Their establishment supports local artisans and contributes to the community’s prosperity, creating a lively sense of togetherness.
Rural properties have the potential to utilize diverse functions that support sustainable practices. There are numerous possibilities, such as implementing solar panels, composting systems, and collecting rainwater. The extensive land area can also be utilized for conservation initiatives, such as establishing wildlife sanctuaries or agreeing to a conservation easement that safeguards the land and may offer tax advantages.
Managing a property development project can feel overwhelming. There are many factors to consider, such as keeping the property in good condition, following zoning regulations, and meeting market demand. Nonetheless, conducting thorough planning and feasibility studies can increase the chances of success in sizable development ventures.
To sum up, rural properties with various features offer more than a place to live. They provide opportunities for a dynamic lifestyle, varied sources of income, and community involvement. A harmonious balance between work, life, and growth can be attained by optimizing each componenthomes, retail spaces, warehouses, and undeveloped land. With careful planning and ingenuity, these properties can become profitable investments for those with an entrepreneurial spirit.
A multi-functional live-work small town rural property comprises different buildings, each with a unique purpose that enhances the property’s versatility and commercial potential. Private homes offer residents a secluded living space that can be rented out for additional income or used to house on-site staff. Meanwhile, a functional retail store generates revenue and contributes to community development by meeting local demand for goods and services. Additionally, barns, garages and warehouses are flexible spaces that can be used for storage and services or converted into event artisan craft or hobby areas.
Consider the Thompson family, who transformed their warehouse into a thriving community hub and market for artisans crafts and local produce, generating new income streams and strengthening their connections with the local community. The possibilities are almost as endless as your vision and ability to create new opportunities and an enriched lifestyle.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “I wish my monthly mortgage payment was lower?” Or maybe you even wished that you could simply skip next month’s mortgage payment? Or maybe you wished you could stop making any more mortgage payments altogether! Or just maybe, you have some extra money laying around and want to make a larger payment one month. Well, guess what, you can do all of this with a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM).
The HECM is the best type of loan for payment flexibility and optionality. Many people believe that when you get a reverse mortgage you simply do not make any mortgage payments but that is only one way that you can utilize a reverse mortgage. A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM)
provides you with ultimate flexibility so you can choose how much you want to pay each month and manage your monthly expenses. I call it the pick-a-payment loan because you can make an interest-only payment each month, you can make a payment of principal and interest each month, you can pay less than the interest, or you can ultimately not make any payment at all. (When you make payments, the funds are first applied to any outstanding mortgage insurance, then mortgage interest, then principal).
As we age, life becomes more unpredictable, and we incur additional unplanned expenses due to home maintenance/ improvement or medical or dental expenses which can all cause a strain on our monthly expenses and our overall finances. Therefore, having a mortgage with flexible payment options is one of the best ways to manage your monthly expenses as you enter retirement.
Losing a spouse can also create one of the largest impacts on your finances because your household income is typically reduced by
around 40-50%. Unfortunately, when you have a traditional mortgage (like a 15-year or a 30-year fixed rate mortgage), your lender does not reduce your monthly mortgage payment by 40-50% when you lose a spouse. Therefore, a 15year or 30-year fixed-rate mortgage can ultimately become a financial burden when you lose a spouse, even if you have an interest rate of around 3 or 4%. Therefore, a HECM can be a perfect financial solution that allows you to make larger monthly payments when you have the additional cash available but also allows you to make a lesser payment (or no payment at all) when you incur a strain on your finances or a loss of income. As a reminder, you are always required to pay property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and maintain your home (and HOA dues if applicable) when you have a HECM.
Lastly, you might not realize how many homeowners have gotten a HECM and are realizing the real value of these amazing financial tools. Based on New View data sources, it is estimated that there
will be around $4.8 Billion in new reverse mortgages that will close in 2023. To give you a historical perspective, this is around 21% more than 2019. Additionally, these sources estimate there will be around $7 Billion of reverse mortgages funded in 2025 and this number is likely to grow to over $20 Billion per year by 2030.
If you are curious to know how many people have a HECM in your neighborhood or your community, you can go to my website at www. ReverseMortgagesCO.com, then type in your zip code into the widget on the lower right-hand corner and you can see how many homeowners have a HECM within 10-mile radius of you.

Incorporating texture and layers is a hallmark of creating luxurious interior spaces, infusing your home with a sense of comfort and sophistication.

From sumptuous fabrics to intricate detailing, each piece becomes a work of art that adds depth and allure. High-quality furniture is an investment that will pay dividends in the form of enduring beauty and a living space that truly reflects your style and aspirations.
Choose a rich color palette
Choosing a color palette is a pivotal step when creating luxurious interior spaces, as it sets the tone of your home.
Whether you opt for rich jewel tones to infuse a regal allure or embrace neutral hues for a serene atmosphere, the color palette you select plays a vital role in shaping the mood and character of each room.

White is perhaps one of the most misunderstood colors. With infinite shades, it may be difficult to find an exact match, but it’s also one of the most versatile choices, especially for those looking to create a monochromatic, neutral color palette. White not only pairs well with other colors, but its tints, tones, and shades can also help create a strong sense of contrast.
Looking for ways to work white into your home decor? Here are some top Design Recipes tips.
Do’s
• Do pair white with warm elements such as wood.
• Do use white in rooms with lots of windows, as white helps to bounce light.
• Do use white accessories such as toss pillows, tabletop accessories and throws to help create a monochromatic color palette.
• Do include white upholstery into your space such as sofas and chairs.
• Do use white to create a sense of contrast when paired with darker colors such as indigo, chocolate brown and black.
Don’ts
• Don’t worry about exact color matching. It’s OK to blend different shades of white.
• Don’t mix too many shades of white that are tinted such as white with hints of blue, gray and green.
• Don’t ignore the power of
layering and repeating shades of white throughout a space.
• Don’t use white excessively in a space, as it can potentially lead to a less elegant look.
• Don’t ignore the element of using artwork to help to create a white-on-white color scheme.
