I work for a Furniture Store that uses Sign Holders and plants ground signs in Montgomery County, MD.

Low rates do allow for consumer activity and that is the lion share of the economy, not BIG Business plant expansion (that's occurring where the globalization sent all the jobs over seas). 

We are also military, and spent 16 years total in the UK, so we started where we were planted, and bought our first house in England. 

I never have to battle weather elements because my position is inside a processing and distribution plant.

Before moving to Florida I lived in Revere mass for 45 years  Make it Happen Steve Thanks Steve Smith, I hope one day be able to retire some where with tropical weather.

The smell of sewerage from a local treatment plant reaches the property three times a week19.

One or two large trees on the left side would balance the asymmetrical windows, with low curving planting beds on either side of the porch.

From mowing the lawn and maintaining the bushes to planting flowers and fixing the detached garage, all on his own dime.  

If it is something a little different, our title plant might have access to it or help figure out some leads on tracking it down.  

Water damage like over-watering a potted plant can cause that.
