Make a change – move to Lake Shaffer. Spend the rest of your life doing what you like best – fishing, boating, water sports! If it’s lakefront property you want – this is it. A great open concept, 2 BR home overlooking Bedford Bay on Lake Shaffer is waiting for you. A very nice home with a white picket fence and beautiful perennial flowers and tasteful landscaping is pleasant to the eye.  There is a 2-car detached garage.  A new well has been drilled, the hi-efficiency furnace, air conditioner, and water heater are only 2 years old. A Kinetco water filtration system is installed. Year-round living on Lake Shaffer – fish ’til you are tired of fishing. Spend countless days on the large patio overlooking the bay – plenty of room for entertaining family and friends.  Or, just sit back and enjoy the sunsets!!! 45 ft. of water frontage comes with the home. Life is good on Lake Shaffer!!

Cleaning Your Deck Is So Easy, You Can Do It Yourself With These Tips

Wood background

Many homes have decks that are wonderful for enjoying the great outdoors, whether you are entertaining a crowd or just relaxing and enjoying the sunshine with a good book. Unfortunately, decks require maintenance to keep them looking fresh, clean and splinter free. If you are thinking about embarking upon a useful spring cleaning project, cleaning your deck is a great place to start. Proper maintenance is essential to extending the life of your deck. First, look over your deck carefully for any sections that may need repair. Next, thoroughly sweep it off. After that, you must arm yourself with a power-washer. These can be rented if you do not own one. There are a variety of deck cleaners available, but the best choice is an oxalic acid-based one. These clean your wood nicely, prevent rust, kill mildew and are even plant-friendly. If you have tough mildew stains, you will need to use oxygen bleach to remove the stains. Next you must coat it to keep it looking beautiful.
