 Let Matt Help you find that extra special Frame!

Evans Mill Community is a wonderful place to live. Just 70 lots strong give or take a few, most are over 1 acre tracks. 

With Creekside Elementary down the street, Carolina Colours just out our back door, and a new Harris Teeter being built, that makes us highly sought after. 

What is for sale: 119 Evans Mill Rd is for sale. This custom home is built upon an acre lot with gorgeous trim, flooring, space and loads of extras. Click here for more details.

As I get older, I wonder what will become of our mother earth if we the keepers do not do something to preserve it. Not only do we need to do this now but make sure future generations do the same.  Below are some of the things that you can do to make this happen.

So come on New Bern NC, Go Green with me!  

1. Replace your old light bulbs with CFL’s

2. Plant your own garden and use old garbage as fertilizer(Compost).

3. Use a washable water bottle and stop buying bottled water.

4. Don’t  leave your lights on if you are not home or not using them.

5. Raise the thermometer in the Summer and Lower your thermometer in the Winter.

6. Reuse water.

7. Take shorter showers and don’t leave the water running.

8.  Buy an energy efficient appliance and eventually replace all of them. 

9. Use the cloth sacks that many stores now sell instead of plastic or paper bags.

Go away rain is what I wanted to say today! I took this picture from the convention center in New Bern from the 2nd floor. I had a great view of the new bridge that is about to reopen.
