149. Grand Rapids Spring Parade of Homes

I would normally post something like this on my real estate blog but as I have noticed this weekend, a lot of people are talking of remodeling their homes this summer. This is a great way to get some ideas for your project, help raise funds for non-profits, and a fun outing seeing homes.
