New Homeowners: Selecting the Right Washer and Dryer
Once you decide on a house after browsing Bemidji homes for sale and Brainerd homes for sale, you'll probably need a few new appliances. A washer and dryer are essential devices, but settling on the right models with so many available options can be hard. We share six considerations before you complete your laundry room.
- Consider Size
Size is a vital consideration for washers and dryers as you don't want units that are too big for the available space. Measure the space in your home to compare against the measurements of potential models. Also, plan for at least 6 inches behind the appliances for water and venting hookups and 2 to 3 inches if you plan to keep the washer and dryer separate. A stacking pair is ideal when you're tight on space.

Homeowners: Are These Unconventional Pets Perfect for You?
National Pet Day is recognized every April, but those with pets know that every day is pet day in our households! If you haven't given your heart to a pet yet, maybe it's because you haven't found the right one for you yet. Here are a handful of unconventional pets to consider as you shop Alexandria homes for sale.
- Sugar Glider
Sugar gliders are one of the most popular unconventional pets. While they're small and can be kept in a cage like a hamster or a gerbil, they are actually marsupials and can live for 10-15 years. These intelligent and social animals like lots of interaction with their humans and have similar requirements as other caged animals. Because of their social natures, they also get separation anxiety when kept by themselves, so should be adopted in pairs.
