Home on 9.88 acres for only $369,000
Best deal on the market - if you haven't seen this property - check it out home on 4.94 (mostly fenced) acres for $339,900
home on 9.88 acres for $369,000 - Wow - that mean the 2nd 5 acres (with separate parcel #) is only $29,100!
The seller wants the entire property to sell at the same time - so you are getting the BEST PRICE if the 9.88 acres sells all together.

Surviving the heat (general guidelines)
General Information
Surviving the heat (general guidelines)
Stay in the coolest environment available. Use an air conditioner if it is available. When using a fan, keep windows open on the shady side and use the fan to ventilate living quarters. Spend time in air conditioned public places if no air conditioning is available and temperatures are above 90 degrees.
drink plenty of cool water and other iced non- alcoholic and non- caffeine liquids
eat regularly, but eat light, easily digested food, avoiding hot, heavy meals. Limit cooking to keep indoor temperatures down.
Dress in loose- fitting, lightweight and light- colored natural fiber clothing. Wear a hat to protect your head from sun.
Limit activity in the middle of the day when temperatures are the highest. Adjust working hours for those working outdoors or in non air conditioned buildings whenever possible, and provide frequent breaks with plenty of fluids.
Bathe or shower frequently in cool water
If you have cardiovascular disease, do not increase salt or potassium intake without consulting your doctor. Check all medications with your doctor or pharmacist for increased risk of heat illness.
If you feel unusually weak, dizzy, or confused, call your doctor or 911.
Check regulary on elderly, chronically ill or incapacitated relatives, neighbors and friends who do not have air conditioning.
If you are age 60 or older , have been sick lately, or live alone without air conditioning, it is strongly recommended that you go to an air conditioned place for at least several hours each day when a heat warning is in effect.
