Friday, don't be like that.

The 10th edition of our weekly newsletter is here! ​A little later than normal but then again the time change on Sunday is an excuse for EVERYTHING TO BE LATE THIS WEEK, amiright? My five year old son definitely agrees. 

I very much hope you're enjoying your summer - I mean, wait. Was it 70 degrees yesterday? Is this Mars? Someone remind me of this when it snows like 3 feet later this month. Okay... onward to the roundup - lots on tap this week!

## 🏡 Looky Loo

Where I poke around our local real estate market to highlight fun finds - great deals, astronomical mansions or killer mountain cabins. A few this week, cuz the market is heating up.

Ugh, my first thought was "oh cute starter home" and it's priced at almost $600k, but I guess that's where we're at. But srsly, a [2BD 2BA cabin-ish home](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/10042-Buena-Vista-Dr%5FConifer%5FCO%5F80433%5FM21859-43381?ref=jeffcocrew.com) on *10 acres* (*sub-dividable*) in Conifer is juicy for a certain type of opportunistic buyer.

And then check out this [$800k mountain-vibes-everywhere 5BD home](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/11531-S-Deer-Creek-Rd%5FLittleton%5FCO%5F80127%5FM23446-20998?ref=jeffcocrew.com) on an acre outside Littleton:

## 🧠 Tips from ya'll

Last week I asked who some of your favorite 🏡 **home maintenance providers** in Jeffco are. 

Julia suggested her friend Docia's [Handyman Connection of Golden](https://handymanconnection.com/golden/?ref=jeffcocrew.com) \- *"they do great work!"*

Patsy & Mark offered up a glowing review for Kyle for HVAC help (720) 216-4207), *"Kyle is incredible! He provided us a quote that was half the price of what other companies offered. He is always punctual, professional, kind, and excels at his work. Since we usually work within a budget, he gives us the option to purchase parts ourselves or helps find ways to reduce costs. We absolutely adore him and refer him to everyone we know!"*

Jim noted that Andreas, who runs [Arvada Handyman](https://www.arvada-handyman.com/?ref=jeffcocrew.com), is a fave, and has a ton of great reviews on Google to back it up. 

Sarah had a great experience with Andrew at [DenCo](https://dencofixit.com/?ref=jeffcocrew.com), *"was reasonable, stayed in scope, arrived when he said he would, and communicated well!"*

---

For next week, who is your 🌳 **landscaping or lawn maintenance provider**? I'm sure lots of you do it yourself, but what if someone wanted some help (asking for a friend, of course)?

## 🗓️ Featured Events

*A few events worth noting.*

### ⛰️ Jeffco Water Conservation Programs are live!

It's that time of year again - I just watered my lawn for the first time (don't come for me, I had a horrible lawn year last year). Jeffco has some *wonderful* conservation programs & discounts available for us as they aim to help us reduce our water use. I just signed up for a [free sprinklers evaluation](https://resourcecentral.org/sprinklers/?ref=jeffcocrew.com), and they offer discounted [lawn replacement](https://resourcecentral.org/lawn/?ref=jeffcocrew.com) and the popular [garden-in-a-box](https://resourcecentral.org/gardens/?ref=jeffcocrew.com) program (sells out every year). Get on this [before it's too late](https://www.instagram.com/p/DG30ibNNte6/?ref=jeffcocrew.com)!

### 📚 Book Store Closing Blowout Sale

A bit of a random find, but [Bookiee Books](https://www.facebook.com/bookieebooks), an online bookstore selling across the country connecting book lovers everywhere with books that would have ended up in the trash is closing after 7 years, and this weekend is the liquidation. Book nerds, homeschoolers, teachers - [attend her in-person sales or reach out ahead of tie to reserve titles](https://www.facebook.com/events/1312296363384460/).

### 🥶 Frozen Dead Guy Days in Estes Park

Grandpa Bredo is over 120 years old. For years, he was the resident of a Tuff Shed in the hills above Nederland, Colorado, just 40 miles south of Estes Park, where he remained very, very, very cold. He's from Norway. This is a true story. I can't explain it all - go find out for yourself. Oh, and there's [a weekend-long festival starting on Friday](https://frozendeadguydays.com/?ref=jeffcocrew.com), complete with [dance parties, ice plunges](https://stanleyhotel.ticketspice.com/2025royalblue?ref=jeffcocrew.com), and [a coffin race](https://wl.seetickets.us/event/Frozen-Dead-Guy-Days-and-Coffin-Race-2025/623767?afflky=FrozenDeadGuyDays&ref=jeffcocrew.com).
