Update on the Pond: What Killed the Fish in In South College Station
August 19th, 2008 Categories: Kids, Family & Personal Stuff, Woodcreek
I walked out behind my home in College Station this Sunday to find over 100 Buzzards behind my back yard with over 120 dead fish floating in the pond behind my house or scattered along the bank. See Blog All of the Fish in the pond Appear to Have Died Overnight! What the? And a big thank you to the Home Owner’s Association for cleaning up the mess so quickly!
The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries has concluded that the fish in the pond all died due to lack of oxygen. This is also sometimes referred to as the pond “turning over.” My understanding is that this occured because: we had a long period with no rain, then lots of rain at once, with not a lot of natural vegetation in the pond, and a fountain that had recently broken. Apparently, once the amount of oxygen decreases to a certain level in a tank, it will kill the fish overnight. Now we have tons of algae in the tank and the whole thing looks nasty and green.
This brings me to my latest problem. Read the rest of this entry »

Thinking of Selling your College Station Home? What to Expect When Interviewing A Realtor

When it is time to sell your home in Bryan College Station, and start interviewing Real Estate Agents, you will want to meet with each agent separately. As you call to set up interview and make appointments, take special note of who you get on the phone right away and how long it takes for your phone call to be returned. The time it takes for you to get through to the Realtor will likely be the roughly the same amount of time as if a prospective buyer had called with questions about your home. When you and the agent communicate with one another, you should expect the Realtor to ask you a few questions.

City Council’s Schedule to Improve Area Playgrounds Disappointing
April 1st, 2008 Categories: Woodcreek
If you have young children, chances are you know which subivisions have the good playgrounds and which don’t. There are many playscapes in College Station that don’t meet current safety codes and the City knows it. I went to a Parks Council meeting on this very issue at the end of 2007 because I felt the playground Woodcreek needed a serious safety overhall. They agreed with me, but stated that there were others in far worse shape. Worse than Read the rest of this entry »

Drivers in Woodcreek Need to Watch Out!
April 1st, 2008 Categories: Woodcreek
As a resident of Woodcreek, I have been very disappointed lately in the number of cars Hot-Rodding through the subdivison. A lot of this problem has to do with the fact that the Rock Prairie Road Exit is closed for the next year. This has changed and diverted traffic in all sorts of ways, one of which means an increase in the number of cars driving through Woodcreek. With the help of the subdivision’s HOA, my husband and I bought and raised Read the rest of this entry »
