Halloween at Konaheeta Park and on Duke Street was an Amazing Success in Murphy NC!

Posted by I Love Murphy on

Halloween this year was celebrated at Konaheeta Park and at Duke Street this year in Murphy NC. It turned out to be a huge success!

Trick-or-treating on Duke Street is a family favorite every year. Duke Street is located right inside Murphy city limits and is a residential neighborhood home to many of the area’s influential people, such as Mayor Bill Hughes. With hundreds of families and children, it was a tremendous turn out after dark! The city police keep through traffic off the roads making it safer for the children. The ticket to Duke Street is to show up after dark! There’s lots of candy, lots of people, and lots of friends and family you’ll see making the rounds house to house.

Before dark, Peachtree’s on Fire Family Church sponsored an excellent celebration at Murphy NC’s Konaheeta Park. It was full of families and children running around, collecting candy, playing games, and eating hot dogs. Admission was completely free for everyone and all the kids were given a free hot dog to keep their stomachs full of more than just candy!

There were well over a dozen games for the kids to play and they could win candy for winning! Throw in jumpy toys, a hay ride, and music, it was a great Halloween for 2008!

Posted by I Love Murphy on

This testimony is from a great elderly couple who we helped sell their home in Unaka and buy a new home in Marble. They were great folks to work with who needed a lot of extra help, and that’s exactly what they got from us.

“I would recommend this agent John for selling of homes to anyone that is looking for one. He has a great personality and is very good with selling. He is fun and easy to talk to and he sold our home for us in less than a month. He is excellent in every way and kept us involved with the information of buyers for our home and did a great job finding us a new one home. He really listened to what we wanted and what what we were looking for in another home.”

The Power of Positive Thinking In Real Estate

Posted by I Love Murphy on
When it comes to buying real estate in the midst of economic turmoil, there’s certainly an amount of faith involved. There’s more to it than that. It’s a belief in America and the people who drive it. It’s knowledge in the predictability of business cycles and that our economy will survive and come back stronger than before – like it has numerous times.
Its knowing that real estate is a solid long term investment – especially since there’s no more land being made. Its smart – many people have become wealthy or made handsome profits, and there’s no good reason why you can’t join their ranks. Now is without a doubt a great time to invest in mountain real estate in Murphy, North Carolina. See what’s out there, make the leap, and know that America has a positive thinking that’s brought to realization only one person at a time.

Frozen Water Pipes Lead to Frustration! How to Avoid (and fix!) your problems in cold weather

Posted by I Love Murphy on

As I sit here and write this, I know for sure that I am going to have to walk out in the nine degree weather this morning to face the crisp, cold air to thaw out my water pipes. Of course, I’m sure I’m not the only fortunate person to have to do this. Sad thing is, I know better! Here are some quick and easy tips on how to *keep* your water pipes from freezing whether your in Murphy, North Carolina or anywhere else.

Preventative care is one of the first steps. If you have a well (which is the norm here), make sure it is properly insulated. Many people use insulated fake rocks to cover their well and protect it from the elements. Don’t forget you need more than that! Wrap it in insulation around the casing and pipes. Also, it’s not a bad idea to install a light bulb in with the well to help keep it warm and above freezing. Be safe with this! Be sure its properly installed so not to start a fire. The US Forest Service (and your neighbors!) doesn’t appreciate fires! Also, make sure there’s no gaps between the ground and your well house/covering. This is a prime spot for the cold air to sneak in. You want it well insulated just like you would your own house.

If you’re like me, you’ve already passed the preventative maintenance part – my pipes are frozen! If you can, wait till the temperature warms up and let it work itself out. Be careful! You may need to turn your water main off so pipes that may have burst don’t give you personal waterfall in your house! If you don’t have the luxury of waiting, get out there and defrost! Common household items work well – hair dryer, small space heaters, and heating pads will work wonders. Spend some time out there and get it done. Make sure to thoroughly check for leaks once you have water – you don’t want to damage your house.

Good luck out there! Stay warm and if you need additional help – call a plumber! We have our recommended plumbers by clicking here on our Gotta Guy List. Check them out! 🙂
