New siding creates a protective layer, shielding your home from the elements. Not all siding is created equal, however, and fiber cement siding by James Hardie is our material of choice. Most Hardie Board siding comes with a 50-year, limited transferable warranty. This siding is completely rot and insect resistant and can even handle salt spray from the ocean. Whether you’re looking for a siding material that can withstand the next katrina, or one that can fend off the next winter blizzard without sustaing damage, cement board siding is a proven commodity in the weather department.
It is very important to have your roof inspected before the cold weather hits. A winter roof inspection can give you peace of mind and save you from costly repairs. If you think roof problems are rare, you’re wrong. “Roof deficiencies are the most common problem reported by home inspection associations,” says the National Roof Certification and Inspection Association. “Thirty percent of real estate inspection claims are due to roof leaks and water penetration,” the group says. “Thirty nine percent of homeowner’s insurance claims are because of roof problems.”
New exterior doors often fit and insulate better than older types. if you have older doors in your home, replacing them is a good investment, resulting in lower heating and cooling costs. If you’re building a new home, you should consider buying the most energy efficient doors possible.

Recipe Prep
Brown Butter Mixture
Cook butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Transfer brown butter to a medium bowl; let cool slightly. Add egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt and beat until mixture is light and falls back onto itself in a slowly dissolving ribbon, about 3 minutes. Fold in flour.
Blondie
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13″ x 9″ baking dish and dust with flour. Toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until slightly darkened and fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
Whisk baking powder, salt, and 2 1/4 cups flour in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat brown sugar and 1 cup butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating between additions; mix until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in vanilla.
Reduce speed to low and mix in dry ingredients. Fold in half of pecans. Scrape two-thirds of batter into prepared baking dish; smooth top, pushing batter to edges. Alternating, dollop brown butter mixture and remaining batter on top. Smooth and sprinkle remaining pecans over.
Bake until blondie is golden brown and firm (a tester will not come out clean), 30-35 minutes. let cool before slicing. Serve with ice cream.
DO AHEAD: Blondies can be made 1 day ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
