For your house hunt you need some datails before you start serching on the internet


In American homes, you will rarely find closets that are standing at the wall as it is common in many countries. The cupboards for clothes and linens are built into the interior walls when the house is constructed. These closets are closed with wood or metal folding doors. Mirrored doors are also available, and you can easily change them to whatever you like best. Such a solution is space-saving and comfortable.

If there is enough space in the house, these cabinets are accessible as a separate room and offer plenty of space for individual design ideas on the inside, such as shelving, hanging rails, and drawers.

Furthermore, properties are often sold with functional kitchen and laundry appliances. A basically equipped kitchen has a refrigerator and a stove. An upgraded kitchen includes a dishwasher, microwave, and garbage disposal. If you are lucky, your new dream home will include a washer and dryer too, because drying of laundry outside is not common.

In addition to the above-mentioned appliances, each property in Florida has a hot water heater and an airconditioning system as a standard feature.

This is only a small insight into the real estate purchase process in Florida. Much more to this topic you will find in my book

Fire station 103 in Pompano Beach, FL under construction






Finally, it happens last Friday – January 24 2014 – we had the groundbreaking of our new fire station in Pompano Beach. Until know the fire station is in the next neighborhood in the old Neighborhood Center and that is outdated.

Now after years of planning and negotiation the Fire Department decided for a new construction on the lot of the old skating ring and just behind the church. The lot cleaning started a few weeks ago and on Friday, everything was ready for the official start of the project.



The groundbreaking was supported by our CERT team and was also named by the Fire Chief. It started at time at 10 am with the official pledge to the flag and the recognition of the VIPs. Besides the complete City commission were members of the homeowner board present. I myself was there as a member of the CERT team and as a board member for our community.


After the official part, the commission and the fire chief went to work and put the “golden” shovels into the sandy ground. We all are now waiting for the construction and the opening of the new building.

Based on my experience this will not take long time because the City of Pompano is quick in such kind of projects and our neighborhood will closely watch the progress.


Sunny greetings from Florida.  


Here is little film about the event:
