Weekend roundup

There may be a few aspiring (or accomplished) home reality television stars among Yourhomers, as according to last week's poll roughly a third of our readers have applied to casting calls. The remaining 70 per cent are more comfortable handling their moves and renovations without the cameras running. And be sure to check out our tips for getting cast.

Personally, I started off thinking I would be cool with any inherited spirits, so long as they were friendly. Then, after researching Paranormal Home Inspection, I spent a few nights hearing all manner of strange noises.
