They add some fake props to make an empty house seem exciting to give the show some drama and then add in their scripted personal drama and make up some numbers and poof you have a TV show.

My most unusual was certain landscaping plants that seem to yield a healthy amount of cash.

You're still using electricity that most likely is being made at a plant that burns natural gas or fossil fuel. 

The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago.

Is my listing agreement fake?

Make an other "home page" send some link juice to it, and put just a video of you at home with your dog, wife, pet plant and just talk as if you were talking to your best friend.

I contacted the local gas plant and set it up as a contractor rental.

I do like Meridianville for rentals and it isn't too far away....The new plants like Toyota, GE, etc are going in the area west of Madison - near Greenbrier. 

I now work in a commercial nuclear plant.
