Buying Land and New Construction >Beware of Fat Clay

When building a home, you should have the soil on the construction site tested for plasticity to determine how it will change under different moisture conditions. This is important because some soil is so "plastic" that (if the condition is not corrected) it can actually break concrete floors, crack the walls and destroy the foundation of your home. Highly plastic soil is sometimes referred to as "fat clay" that swells excessively and loses stability when it becomes wet. Fine-grained soils that contain a high percentage of clay are greatly affected by water, turning to mud when it rains and undergoing large volume changes-sometimes up to 40 or 50 percent, as the soil dries. Not only do clays swell and lose stability when they become wet, but they also retard the drainage of water. If plastic soil is found on your building site, the ground must be over-excavated and replaced with clean gravel. Homebuilders often choose not to include a basement, or to protect the basement walls from excess moisture by surrounding them with a layer of gravel. A fine-grained clay-filled soil with a high plasticity index may require considerable treatment, especially if used in a moist location.

Hi there!!! May I be the first to welcome you to The Land of LegendsSleepy Hollow and Tarrytown, New York, plus the Hudson River villages and towns of Briarcliff Manor, Irvington, Dobbs Ferry, Hastings-on-Hudson, Ossining, and the charming hamlet of Pocantico Hills!!! To come here is to fall in love as I did in 1983, when I moved from Manhattan to Sleepy Hollow with my husband and infant son. A native North Carolinian, I came to New York fresh from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and followed my dream to be an actress and singer. This dream came true, and for 18 years I worked in the New York Theatre and on hundreds of TV and radio commercials. Since 1987, Ive been helping people reach their dreams in the world of Real Estate. Currently I am proudly serving on the Board of Directors of The Womens Council of Realtors/Empire Chapter, which I enjoy tremendously. From my very first year in Real Estate, I have been a consistent Top Producer in listing and selling homes in the Hudson River Villages. About 85- 90% of my business now comes from Personal Referrals and Repeat Business. I can only achieve this by giving outstanding customer service, both during and after the transaction, and by always making my clients best interest my top priority. It is a mission I take most seriously. I hold the designation of Accredited Buyer Representative, which means that if Im working with YOU as a BUYER, I work on YOUR behalf to get the best deal possible for YOU. For my SELLERS, I am excellent at marketing strategy and my goal for YOU is to get the absolute highest and best price for your home as quickly and easily as possible. My negotiation skills, my years of experience, my extensive knowledge and passion for the Hudson River area, and my deep caring for the happiness of my clients are some of my best assets. I hope to be your new best friend in Real Estate and the only Realtor youll ever need!!!
