We have a solid wood front door and would like more light to shine in. We heard there is a company that can add view glass/decorative glass to an existing front door, and we figured if anyone knew it was YCCA. —Tom and Susie, Pinon Oaks

I am on my soapbox this week not nourishing hand soap, not body wash, not shampoo, but my improvised self-appointed, spontaneous platform! Change orders – Change orders – change orders – change orders – change orders. What else can I say?

Wow, I had several calls and emails about my plant hardiness zone column, so I thought I would stay in the landscape vortex this week.

The 42nd Annual Yavapai County Contractors Association Home and Garden Show is here! April 29 to 30 and May 1 at the Findlay Toyota Center Prescott Valley. You will not want to miss this great event and we want to see your smiling faces. It has been two years since we have had our three-day home show.
