So do lake levels on Judah lake in Orion change much? Most lake levels rise after heavy rains and then go down after time. A drought does bring down the lake levels. One of the questions to ask is there an auxiliary well to keep the levels consistent? Is there a dam that keeps the levels at a certain height? Talk to the neighbors if you cannot find the information on this page.
One of the questions I ask my lakefront home buyers is do you like the view of the water or do you want lake access? The reason I ask this questions is about the affordability of buying a lake home. You can buy a canal front home on some lakes for less money. You can get more home for the money on a canal. So if a lake view is not an important factor you may get more for your money by buying a canal front home. Canal front homes on Cass Lake in Waterford or Cedar Island Lake in White Lake are going to cost less than a waterfront home of similar size on the same lake. So deciding what you want in a lake and a lake home is very important to think about before starting your search. That is one of the pros of buying on a canal. There are pros and cons on where you live on a lake.
Want nature on the big screen? There are going to be so many great sights you are going to see from your deck and patio. You will see migrating birds in the fall, magnificent sunrises, and beautiful fall colors around the lake. The colors of the leaves stand out on sunny days against the water. So much to enjoy and take in when you buy a waterfront home. These pictures are worth more than a thousand words.
For example do you want to see the sunset? Being on the west shore of a lake gives you a great view of the sunset. However with that view you will get all the stuff from the east side of the lake. The west winds will blow seaweed, leaves, and miscellaneous articles to your shoreline. (I live on the west side of a lake so I know of these issues. These are just some of the different things that come up with buying a waterfront property for sale in Oakland County Michigan. That is why it is important to hire a good full time experienced lake realtor like myself to help you understand our local lakes.

Where to use these different types of Nautical Knots
The figure-eight knot has several uses, including connecting two ropes to make a longer line or making a "stopper" knot in a single line in order to prevent the line from slipping through a hole or a gap in a block or a cleat.
The bowline is a multi-purpose knot that is essential for boat operators to know. Forming the knot creates a fixed loop on the end of the rope or line—a loop that can be used for hitching, mooring, or lifting.
A type of hitching knot, the anchor bend is used to secure a rope to an anchor or a ring. If additional security is needed, a half hitch can be tied at the end.
Used to attach a line to a cleat on a dock, the cleating hitch is formed by wrapping the line around the base of the cleat, then forming one or more figure eights around the cleat. The knot is secured with a half hitch.
The clove hitch is handy for temporary fastening, such as when tying up to a piling. It's particularly useful because—with experience—it can be tied with only one hand. For extra fastening power or for longer periods of time, add two half hitches after tying the clove hitch.
Handy for tying down a bulky load or tying a boat to a mooring post, the round turn and two half hitches is versatile. It is a secure knot that does not jam and is easy to undo.

Here is what a previous client had to say about me!
"Dear Mr. Ravary,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your support, guidance and knowledge towards the purchase of my first home. You were very kind, friendly and patient during the whole process. The good thing I like about you is that you have never pushed us to buy any home, but walked with us and gave us yr honest opinion about homes we visited. You had never rushed into make a decision but gave us a time to make the decision wisely during the whole process. You made me familiar and explained with some of the real-estate terms and that helped me a lot during the whole process. Even after the home purchased, I know I can still count you for any help towards my home. I would definitely recommend you to my friends/family for their future home purchase!"
