hello hello hello hello peeps good morning to you this is r and Dian bro coming to you from presca Arizona she’s presca picol I am and we are some friendly helpful realtor team here in town that are happy to help you and pass on all kinds of advice and words of wisdom that’s right so the wisdom today is about window film window film now this is something we just did um our home is pretty close to another home and when I stand at the kitchen sink I’m so tired of looking at my neighbor’s roof and the side of his house it’s just not (00:43) a great view um same thing in the dining area so we’ve talked about it we’ve talked about it what can we do I’ve hung huge pieces of window um stain glass and that’s fine but it’s still not quite blocking that boring view so then we thought well let’s just replace the windows and then I got the price because I thought I’ll replace the windows with privacy glass and then I was like no that’s a lot of money so then how much was that that was like $2,000 to replace two windows yeah so then somebody said why don’t you get window film now I’m (01:20) not a fan of tinting windows some people are it’s not for me because it makes the house too dark in my opinion um yes it does protect your carpeting your rugs your furniture from getting Su damage but I don’t care about that I just don’t like my house to be dark I like bright sunshine in there well these two windows in particular don’t have direct sun shine right through either so so but the other solution is besides tinting is to do window film window film and film this film comes in all kinds of styles and (01:51) and um just design frosting oh yeah I mean rain glass and it it provides great great privacy but still allows a lot of sunshine to come through um but then it also blocks any gross views so I don’t see the roof anymore I just see kind of the cool pattern on my window I think I did rain I think I did rain and um it’s just enough it’s real popular and it was much cheaper I think it was $500 to do two giant Windows window so 1/4 the price and really you can’t tell you cannot tell at all can’t tell if it’s glass or it’s film but it’s really nice (02:33) so when people come in they don’t say oh my God your neighbor’s right there I see his roof it’s nice so um we just wanted to pass this tip on because I think it’s very helpful if you’re kind of close to other neighbors and you want some privacy but still want sunshine and uh investigate window film window film there’s all kinds of companies out there they don’t just do cars they’ll come and do your home yes and uh so instead of replacing glass or replacing windows which is way more expensive you can just get the film yeah and if you decide you (03:05) know later on you don’t like the rain glass anymore that’s right and you want to do frost or whatever you can remove the film and have new film put up there you go yeah so we love it and we were so excited and we just had it done and we can’t say enough good things about it that’s right so that we share with you yeah if you’re looking for some privacy don’t want to see your neighbors but don’t want to cover up your windows that’s the thing to do investigate window fil window film all kinds of designs that you can put up y (03:34) absolutely so highly recommend it it’s a very uh inexpensive way uh so really gives it a very upscale upscale feeling so if I ever go to sell my home in somebody comes in there chances are they will not notice that roof line right away yes um they’ll just say it’s good at blocking and if you look at the if you look at how much you have to invest versus the perceived value of a buyer one of the best investments you can make absolutely cheers to that there you go so we’re enjoying our window film our window film that is our tip of the day (04:09) if you like tips you go to pickle 411.com that’s our free information site whether you’re a buyer seller somewhere in between there’ll be something there waiting for you that will Amaze Astound educate and inform entertain and inform entertain there you go all those things Dem kicking lots and lots of good things can’t remember my four words there you go and it’s it’s only $20 no it’s not it’s free it’s free it’s from our heart to yours our heart to yours happy to share happy to share okay bye have a good day”

hello hello hello H peeps this is Diane and  Randle bro your friendly realtor team H with   the pick lady team she’s presca pick lady that’s  right I’m here in Prescot Arizona coming to you   live and today we’re going to talk about  estimating value estimating value of the   home yep estimating the value of a home is one of  those things that everyone thinks they know how   to do right it seems really simple and they just  jump into it it’s a lot more complicated get it   than you would think mhm you can’t just go by oh  well my neighbor sold their house for a million (00:35) so I’m going to get a million not necessarily so  necessarily uh depending on is your neighbor on   your side of the street does your neighbor have  the same view you have yes does your neighbor   have a house that’s been recently updated it does  your neighbor have a nice flat yard there’s a lot   of you can’t compare two houses next door to  each other it might be apples to oranges so   it’s very important when you comper property to  do apples to apples that’s right M and one of the   big things people forget square footage yes huge  oh yeah that that one sold for a million and a (01:11) half yeah it’s twice the size of your house yes  so you your house is 2,000 square feet you can’t   command a million and a half when the other one  was 4,000 square feet now some of the automated   estimating tools like Zillow there there are  a whole bunch of them there’s one that we use   that is um uh only only Realtors are allowed to  use it um they can do a pretty good job of at   least giving you a range make sure you’re in the  right ballpark uh but particularly in Prescot it   is really hard to comp houses that you could have  one house and right next door it is a house that’s (01:49) got a much better view because it’s a little  higher uh it it’s you really have to know the   neighborhoods you really have to know the homes  you really have to be very clever about picking   comps M and you certainly have to adjust for  the square footage you have to adjust for how   how recently the home has been uh remodeled or  updated um there’s there’s a lot to it and uh   just understand that um and understand that  real estate agents do this all the time it’s   it’s it’s really a science it’s not as easy as it  appears even the automated system gives you just a (02:30) R they’ll give you a range the good ones will  give you a range if it doesn’t give you a range   it’s not a good system that’s right so you know  the standard realtor gives you a range uh we take   the range but then we hone it in yes so you need  to have a really good Agent who’s very familiar   with all of the neighborhoods and the areas and  who can even project out like they may use a comp   that’s five years old but you need an agent who  can take that comp and price it out as to what   it would go in today’s today’s terms and so as  a lay person this can get a little overwhelming (03:07) and confusing and uh some people will use uh a  a a a comp from a totally different neighborhood   or different subdivision or even we had we had a  professional appraiser come up from Phoenix yes   this is the bane of our existence right true  so particularly during covid it was hard to   get estimates done or appraisals done and uh  so they would call a appraisers from Phoenix   and these guys do not know these neighborhoods  they do not know these subdivisions so he used   comps from a subdivision which is really an entry  level subdivision to price luxury homes that were (03:47) in the subdivision next to it and he was off  by $200,000 $100,000 I’m like yeah I mean no   sir in his defense it was within a quarter mile  yes but you have to know the neighborhoods it’s   not just math it’s not just arithmetic it’s it’s  science yeah it is it’s not just oh the price per   square and you multiply it’s it’s more more to  it than that there’s a lot more to it you have   to look at views uh some homes on one side of the  street have no views the homes across the street   may have amazing views guess what the ones across  the street are going to have a higher price yes if (04:22) you’re on the other side and you’re like well they  got a million and a half why can’t I because you   don’t have a million dollar view so so you can’t  use that as an accurate comp yes and it could also   be that house has been completely redone from  just from the studs all the way up to the roof   yeah and the H your house has is severely dated  and needs to be you know uh updated and stuff yeah   you can’t compare those two it’s not a good comp  so you really need to make sure you get a good   professional who understands the neighborhoods  the homes the prices of the homes and and and (05:00) can adjust accordingly not just based on one  of those easy programs that gives you a range   and a lot of times people lie with Statistics I  think there are books how to lie with Statistics   so sellers will pick you know comps that show  really high price per square foot well like a   home that’s small you know like let’s say 1,600  square fet that home is going to be very high per   square foot the more the higher the square foot  footage the less it’s going to be per square foot   and it’s just because you’re amortizing the the  lot over the size of the home uh so smaller homes (05:40) will always have higher price per square foot  so you have to adjust for that so all of that   it’s a science my friend and people PE sellers  will will pick comps to make their homes uh seem   worth more than they are agent some agents will do  that uh buyers will do the same thing making the   house seem really really cheap when we estimate  the value of a home we do it unbiased we do it   as unbiased as we can be these this is what the  numbers are saying with our sellers we’ll say if   you want more than that there are things we can do  to try to get more than it’s worth but the comps (06:18) are telling me this you know numbers don’t lie  friends and we’ve had we’ve had sellers we had a   a very good friend of ours we sold their house and  uh we asked him how much do you do you think your   home is worth He said I’d be happy to get $850,000  we said we’re going to sell you home for a million   because it’s worth more it’s worth so after we did  the comp so don’t don’t try to do this on on your   own yeah we don’t try to get sellers to to lower  their price uh by using statistics against them (06:49) and we don’t we don’t try to get buyers to pay  more than it’s worth by using statistics we we   try to price it we do it unbiased unbiased right  where it should be we don’t overprice we don’t   price sell it fair and chances are it’ll conclude  fairly quickly for you so anyway keep that in mind   uh for some of you who were thinking um I think  I’ll just do this myself or I’ll figure this out   there’s a lot to this a lot more than you would  ever imagine and the stakes are high yes you know   the the medium price uh of a home in the city of  Prescot at this point is $650,000 you know you (07:27) want that priced well you want it pric right this  is very important uh this is a big part of your   assets and so you want to make sure you don’t  undersell and you want to make sure you don’t   overprice it and it gets stale and you just lose  time on Market yeah so it’s very important uh to   have a professional help you and guide you every  step of the way and give you the right price yeah   so that is it for estimating value uh if you  would like us to come and estimate your value   glad to do it for you feel free to give us a call  have any number of things on our website you can (08:01) request it or just give us a call yes happy  to help you yeah absolutely take care bye bye”

  hello hello hello hello peeps Happy fall and holiday season yeah getting into December now this is Diana Randle bro coming to you live from our beautiful festive town of presc Arizona Arizona she’s the presca pickle lady that’s right so we are decorated if you haven’t heard Prescot is called Arizona’s Christmas city and that’s for a good reason it’s beautiful you should definitely make a trip during the holiday season yeah absolutely Christmas through January and come see all the lights and all that good stuff and this (00:38) this is tying in believe it or not to our topic of today which is do-it-yourself decks do it-yourself decks so I would never try to build a deck I’m not a handy person if I put together a deck it would kill people mhm but there are people out there who think they know how to put a deck together Ian you look at a deck it doesn’t look very complicated you know so people think well I can build a deck I can build a deck you might want to think Twi you really can’t we love our deck yeah we love our deck We Love Our Deck and as I (01:14) was saying we’re talking about the Christmas lights we just decorated all of our Deck with Christmas lights decks are wonderful decks are a great thing if a professionally Contra a professional contractor does the work that’s exactly right so a couple things you need to know first there a lot of regulations associated with decks like the space between the little what do you call them little posts or whatever that’s right yeah they can’t be too big can’t be too small uh but the big thing is in the horror story we heard from Matt our (01:46) inspector shout out to Matt shout out to Matt best inspector ever best inspector ever he was inspecting a home that had a homemade deck and it was on a manufactured home oh and the guy who built deck attached it to the wall of the manufactured home oh decks weigh a lot they weigh a lot where is this going not good I destroyed the house yeah I completely undermined all of the uh what are the the boards or whatever the the uh railings the oh the I can’t think of the something with an R that’s how much we know about building we don’t know (02:25) about building not good to attach a deck onto a manufa Jo and all that were uh kind of pulled the wall off well it it it undermined the so the the support structure under the house was undermined and twisted and the joists were falling out oh uh so not only did Matt not approve the house but he said uh you can’t enter this house until this is fixed because it is dangerous it could collapse at any minute and all the guy did was build a deck and attach it to his house decks are heavy you have to be very careful are heavy you got to be (02:59) really really care careful so especially a two story if you’re up on the second level doing a deck I mean then there’s even more you know the the beams underneath have to be a certain width and dimension and with part don’t second don’t guess that on your own believe me you have to have a professional it looks easy it’s it’s a lot it’s a lot of weight and when you’re dealing with that much wood uh you could kill yourself easily people will put uh stucco around like the you know make it look nice or whatever oh yeah and water Gets behind (03:32) it destroys the wood and suddenly the deck collapses if it’s connected to your house your house collapses yeah you you you need to know you really need to know what you’re doing you need to have a licensed general contractor um who knows what he’s doing understands a debt contractor contract and they’re out there you just they’re out there and they’re not that much money and uh if you build it yourself and then you it comes time to sell your home uh there’s a really good chance the inspector is g to find something wrong with it very (04:05) expensive to fix and it can undermine other aspects of your home yes so don’t fool around with it uh you get what you pay for so if you do it yourself and you’re trying to cheap out and and make it as as reasonable as possible chances are you’re either going to kill yourself or a guest that’s exactly or your house so uh just let the professionals handle it ex it’ll be perfect and you’ll have a great time and many years of enjoyment that’s right decks are a great great addition to a home yes they are they add (04:35) a lot of value a lot they add a lot of value you will get your money back out of your deck so we’re all about decks we’re all about decks the bigger the deck the better yeah you want a Big Deck that’s what they say nobody wants a small deck that’s what I’ve heard yeah so but don’t build your deck yourself yes I could make so many good jokes right now but but yeah so decks definitely add value so it is worth the investment you will get it back on resale provided it’s done correctly and professionally um and also I wouldn’t (05:12) even do wood on the deck I would do um what’s the concrete no the flooring not the flooring oh oh not wood you want uh tracks tracks yeah there you go I knew he would get it TRS yeah you absolutely need TRS for sure so just spend a little bit of extra money you’ll get it back on resale and you’ll have many many years of enjoyment We Love Our Deck abolutely we have a great time sitting back there and absolutely talking to people and having a good time so all for decks just make sure it’s done correctly

worth much more than that you know I you always love to have those conversations but they’re relatively rare tend to think their children all brilliant and attractive and most aren’t you know same thing with uh with homes (01:08) that’s har yeah it’s just the way life is so uh so usually we try to uh we try to talk sellers we think that the best place to price your home is exactly where it’s worth so we will do the comps and everything we have to do a windown on how I do comps at some point that’s right we don’t like to underprice and especially don’t like to overprice guys Co is over yeah CO’s over you’re not going to get that money that you got in covid times yeah let go of that dream yeah uh but some people just (01:43) they just refuse either they have to get more money or you know it’s just a blow to their egos or something they have to get more money so we thought we might talk about what are the options available if you want to get more money from your home then it’s really worth yep and the easiest one to understand is what we call stupid money so stupid money is people who have buyers who have more money than cents typically they’ve just sold something in another state uh typically much more than what they’re buying here they’re (02:23) downsizing to go into retirement so they are flush with cash they’re used to negotiate prices of homes that are 2 million 3 million and then they’re coming here and now they’re looking at homes that are like 800 a million um so they’re used to talking about numbers that are really really high if your home is $100,000 priced $100,000 more than it’s really worth you get one of these guys to come in and their agent for whatever reason is out to lunch yeah it might just happen you might get lucky it (02:59) might get get somebody who comes in and says you know what you’re telling me it’s really worth $875 but I love it and it’s only 950 which to me is a bargain coming from where I’m coming from I’m not going to equival over $100,000 so it’s it’s yeah so occasionally you get lucky with a buyer flush with funds and they’re happy and they don’t mind and they feel like they’re still getting a deal yeah so you might get what we call stupid money they’ll come in and be like (03:26) I don’t care love it it feels good feels right and I could never get this where I lived before so yeah so it works out for everybody so if you’re GNA do the stupid money thing you need to be quick about it because if you overprice your home and it sits on the market a long time it’s going to get stale uh this Market relies heavily on Buyer Agents because most buyers aren’t here and when agents get tired of thinking about your home they won’t think about your home anymore yep not going to recommend it to clients it’s (04:02) hard to get your home back on their map right so you might want to try the stupid money thing for a couple of weeks not too long maybe a month and then if it doesn’t work then you can say major discount you know we’ve discounted $100,000 and then that will get agents interested again in your home uh we’ll be glad if if you’re listing your home with us we’d be glad to use that tactic with you to try to get you that um it is rare that but it does happen from time to time we’ve seen a it does it’s a nice (04:37) little surprise yeah so that’s and it works out for both parties everybody’s happy that’s the easy the easy one is stupid money the other one is not so easy and that’s really spending a lot of time and effort and some money to Stage the home beautifully staged homes always sell even when the market is really really bet they sell and they sell for good prices uh the money that you spend in staging you’re going to get back several fold uh the idea there is to create an emotional bond with the buyer (05:15) for your home and you’re not going to get that unless you stage it very very well uh staging will pay for itself in that regard again if you’re interested in doing something like that we can work with you to do that a lot you know obviously a lot more involved than just the stupid money thing those are the two ways that we know of that’s it I don’t know of another way to make that happen yeah I mean we can we we advertise heavily everywhere too but yeah that’s pretty much it so when you’re pricing if (05:48) you want to go over keep these two things in mind if you really want top dollar you might have to yeah you know uh hope for stupid money and or pay some money to have it staged so now that that message was really aimed at our sellers uh now if you are a buyer chances are you’re selling someplace else you can use these tactics wherever your home is now that and that’s fine if you’re our buyer coming in here to presc it rest assured you will not be stupid money we will tell you what it’s worth we run (06:20) numbers on’ll that we sell we make sure that it’s been Priced Right so Absolut you can rely on us to make sure that you will not be a victim because if you are and you move into your home your neighbors will laugh at you stop they will they will laugh at you they could they you know neighbors love to come over and say I think you paid too much for that house hey you paid too much for that house are you aware you paid too much for that house which I think is appallingly rude but you know uh hey this is society we (06:55) live in nowadays people love to tell you what they think you don’t want to be that guy do not so anyway just wanted to let you know keep that in mind if you want a price High you know these are two things you know that you have to kind of hope for or be aware of so anyway hope that this helps and we hope that you’re having a great day today and we hope to hear from you soon fall is a beautiful time to come visit and tour the weather is outstanding here so we hope to hear from you soon absolutely and uh check us out at (07:29) pickle 41 1 one.com whether you’re a buyer seller

H peeps Diane and Randall bro here coming to you from our beautiful little mountain town mile high up of Prescot Arizona um we are here to share something that we’ve discovered we’re just your life anybody who knows us knows that we are consumers yeah we try things so we try things so somebody says have you ever tried a vibration board I’m like I have not what is that can you tell me about it so we’re here to educate you on it and we’ll show you some video later so we call it the (00:38) Jiggler we call it the Jiggler a vibration board vibration plate a vibration plate board they call it different things you stand on it it’s a little square you’ll see it in a minute and for 10 minutes you jiggle your whole body love it love it love it first of all I laugh so hard when I’m on it you’ll see in a minute but it’s really good for your balance it’s really good for your lymphatic system to get things moving around get your blood going gives you great energy um anyway those of you (01:09) of a certain age will remember back in the day they had a machine that would stand up and there was a belt and you would put it around your butt and it would it would shake you my first tip is don’t tell young people about it because you will show how old you are that’s a lot longer ago than you will remember yes second thing is this is a little different it doesn’t shake you you’re standing on it uh so it’s a it’s a little different it has uh any number of benefits the thing that I like I like to (01:40) put it on a low speed it kind of shakes you more when it when it goes fast you’re kind of you know shaking like that so it’s really good I wake up usually in the morning I have a stiff back and uh it’s hard for me to walk I have to walk around a little while until I kind of loosen up you stand on this for 10 minutes you are loose it just Jiggles everything it gets every your blood kind of going it’s good for what is it the posture balance what’s the lymphatic system yeah get your lymphatic (02:14) system lactic acid supposed to help with uh cellulite it’s supposed to help with um especially if you work out a lot and you have a lot of Trapped lactic acid and you’re hurting you get on this thing it shakes it all out of you yes yes if you if you particularly if you’re doing weight training uh it’s a really good idea to get on something like this afterwards because it keeps you from getting what’s called blood pooling where where you all the lactic acid sits in one area and it just sits there for (02:45) days this will mix all that up it’ll allow you to absorb that and get rid of it uh so we are just we laughed so hard when we first got on it um now we are converts they go from F1 all the way to F9 program one PR oh yeah why did I say F I don’t know program one to program n and you change it up they say to change it up every day and go to a different level I love it it really gives me a lot of energy gets the day going so so the the lower speeds are more for the lymph and lactic acid and all that the higher (03:20) speeds are more about cellulite uh balance uh you know so the different different levels give you different benefits uh but it’s worth it all of maybe 100 bucks 100 bucks get your we call it we call it we don’t call it all that fancy words vibration board vibration whatever we call it we simply call it the Jiggler the Jiggler and J it Jiggles you it’s hilarious now they have a couple of models uh one has a bracket I guess that comes up almost like a like bicycle handles so you have something to hold on to we just put ours up against (03:59) the bar so you can kind of hold on to the bar uh ours came with rubber um yeah so you can exercise with it if you want we don’t you do curls yeah you can do we don’t do any of that we’re not that ambitious yeah you can get on it and do just your arm and they show you all these ways that you can lay on it and sit on it we just stand on it uh we keep it very very know that I’ll have to look at that yeah yeah yeah don’t sit on it I you know you might want to try that but uh I wouldn’t recommend it but standing (04:31) on it’s great and then the wider your feet the more of a shake you get yeah uh so if you if you feeling you’re you’re getting a little rattled you can kind of put your feet in the middle and kind of reduce it a little bit I’ll move around like I’ll feel like a certain muscle I can feel stiffness and I’ll move so it’s shaking that part of my body uh but mornings are a lot a lot more enjoyable for me now uh you know I don’t I don’t have that stiffness none of that sounds right but anyway it is a good thing it’s (05:01) good for it’s not going to hurt folks try the Jiggler now I should say if listen if if you have some kind of back issue you know or you might want to check might not be for you might not be for you might want to check checking with your doctor uh but I I think for most people it it it would have some benefit it’s been great for us and uh we really get it on Amazon just look up vibration board it’s not if you don’t like it s it back yeah it’s not called the Jiggler that’s not called the (05:28) Jiggler that’s just the Bros into business making vibration boards we will call it the Jiggler yeah okay so that’s just something fun and new we just tried and every morning we get up and saddle up on that Jiggler for 10 minutes yep it’s a great way to start the day yes okay friends hope that you can find it on Amazon and that you too can jiggle and start your day off just right okay cheers to the Jiggler woohoo see you soon bye okay

  bonjour bonjour bour you know you’re so fresh  I know I tried to change it up a little bit   yeah I know that’s that this is NOAA olaaa hello  hello hello Randol and Dian bro yeah she’s pickle   lady we’re in Prescot Arizona here to talk about  things real estate things presc y things presc   real estate real estate and Presa things to  do restaurants all kinds of tips and tricks   and so we get a lot of questions from people about  lakes here um we have a lot of lakes we have also (00:37) reservoirs that are called Lakes but technically  they’re reservoirs yes um a lot of people say   I’d like to have a lake house well I want to set  that for you first not going to happen not going   to happen all St uh all of the lakes around here  are around state land so and preserv so I can’t I   can’t find for you get a view of the Lakes get a  view of the Lakes get on the lake so I’m so sorry   so I want to clear that expectation up first the  second thing we get is is they’re fishing swimming (01:09) Etc so all right we did a little research yeah we  did a little research so actually used artificial   intelligence there you go which is we we we  like artificial intelligence chat GPT uh so the   question was whether you can swim in any of these  lakes and the answer is no so uh for Watson and   Willow those are reservoirs that water is runoff  so they kind of think well that’s not probably a   good idea to tell people to go swimming in there  because we don’t know where it’s running off know (01:39) running off from sow w40 you know or something  like that it’s washed into that was in there so   that’s probably not a good idea also too they’re  they’re very shallow yeah they’re shallow it’s not   good swimming it’s not good swimming uh you can  kayak canoe paddle board no motorboat mized yeah   but you still can get out there and enjoy the  lake just don’t get in it yeah and you can fish   I don’t know if it’s uh Catch and Release but uh  you do see people out there fishing and they’re (02:10) all stocked so I you know they’re they’re stocked  with trout uh the gold water lake same thing no   swimming but it’s primarily for fishing boating  and picnicking also too they they don’t like   people in the waters CU it it makes it muddy you  stir up the bottom cuz and they want to that’s a   good fishing spot so they want to preserve that  yeah cuz none of these laks are particularly   deep um so if you have people thrashing around  it’s going to make them really murky right uh (02:39) if you want to go swimming there are other places  that you can go uh Crescent Moon Ranch which is   near Sedona uh Fossil Creek about two hours from  Prescot Grasshopper Point near Sedona Slide Rock   State Park oh that’s fun I haven’t done it but  it’s on my list of things to do yeah the rocks   eles are like it’s like a water slide like a  water slide so you can go and yeah and verie   River that’s about an hour and a half away a lot  of people know about the ver Riv nice and cool and (03:10) uh and clean so there go tubing in too which is  really cool like right outside of Phoenix you can   tube in there is actually Wild Horses yeah that  you’ll be tubing and here comes a a herd of wild   horses just coming into the water to to cool off  so that’s kind of that’s kind of cool yeah so yeah   you really can’t swim or motorboat but but it’s  still beautiful uh links like in particular you’ll   feel like you’re in California yeah it’s beautiful  you’re surrounded by beautiful trees huming Birds (03:38) Galore lovely absolutely lovely we did a a video  not too long ago on links lake cafe which is right   on links Lake and absolutely beautiful so do we  have lakes yes we do um can you live around them   no you can’t can you go out and enjoy them  and paddle board and canoe and what have you   yes you absolutely can can you fish in some  of them yes so uh if you’re an avid outdoor   person there’s lots of hiking trails all around  these Lakes so not only if you don’t want to get   in the water or paddle board or canoe you can at  least hike around and just enjoy I mean there’s (04:17) beautiful kayak and you fall over and you got  you’re not going to vaporize or anything it’s   not it’s not you know it’s nothing like that  it’s all good so don’t worry about that so uh   anyway that is our uh tip of the day about lak um  thank you to whoever asked us one of our clients   yeah if you have any questions and all feel  free to email us we’ll cover it on our wind   Downs absolutely just like we covered this one  always we like to research and we it it’s good (04:46) for us to learn new things too yeah absolutely  so uh we’re excited to to learn all kinds of new   tidbits of information that we file away in our  Noggin that’s right so we can share it with you   when you come in and uh tour our lovely town  and some some great neighborhoods absolutely   so hope to hear from you soon and uh maybe if you  come visit you can take your own hike around some   of these beautiful lakes absolutely and see  what it’s all about what life is about here   in Prescot it’s not bad folks it’s nice it’s  a good place to wash up in for Sureway don’t (05:18) swim just don’t swim no swim yeah no swimming  but anyway all right we hope you’re having a   great day and we hope to hear from you soon take  care and uh enjoy the
