Meet the Marine veteran flipping historic homes in North Carolina—and making sure they qualify for VA loans

Adam Miller knew he had a unique opportunity when the owner of the Chester House reached out to see if he could help save her historic farmhouse. The 1886-built Davidson, NC, property was in rough shape, but Miller knew he wanted to take on the project. “The whole house felt like a North Carolina piece of folk art,” he tells Realtor.com®. “It just felt sad to tear it down, because it was one of the oldest surviving farmhouses in Davidson.” Citing the original beadboard walls and boxy door frames, Miller could immediately picture the property’s origin story. “You hear about somebody building a house with their bare hands, and this is the type of house I think about, you know?” he says. “The old-school North Carolina farmer gets done for the day and he’s like, adding onto his house, or he’s just doing cool stuff because that’s what he needs to survive and live on the land.

Great State Roofing Shares a November Rain Checklist for Cornelius Homeowners

Cornelius, NC / Storyteller / Nov 11, 2026 / As roadside leaf collection gets underway in Cornelius, Great State Roofing has published a seasonal rain checklist for homeowners in the Lake Norman area. The checklist explains how to use observations from a window and a ground-level walk after the rain to document where water leaves the roof and where it ends up. Local leaf collection updateThe Cornelius roofing team recommends starting with three exterior observations. Note whether water spills over the front of a gutter, runs down the board behind it, or leaves the downspout and pools next to the house. When runoff spills in the same place during several rains, record the location and whether the rain was steady or unusually heavy. Observations like these can help a professional narrow down where to look, from the gutter outlet to the connection between the gutter and roof edge.

Goats brought in to clear invasive kudzu at Huntersville park

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (WBTV) - A herd of goats is chewing through invasive kudzu at North Mecklenburg Park, giving Huntersville park leaders an alternative to using chemicals or machinery to control the vine. The town hired the roughly 40-member herd from North Carolina-based Eco-Grazers, which also provides targeted grazing for homes and businesses. After the goats’ first full day on the job in Huntersville, park leaders say the goats are clearing the unwanted vegetation even faster than anticipated. Michael Jaycocks, director of the Huntersville Parks and Recreation Department, learned about the idea at a conference in Raleigh. He said he and his team are always open to innovative ideas that serve the environment. “We like to hear other ideas, we don’t see it as criticism,” Jaycocks said.

Football dominates in crucial 49-7 win against SMU

Going into Saturday’s matchup between the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and the Southern Methodist University Mustangs, anticipation was high for a game between two ACC powerhouse programs. Both schools were chasing Miami in an attempt to make the ACC Championship game held in Charlotte, N.C. on Dec. 5. With the season entering its closing stages, Wake Forest and SMU were also both looking to secure a spot in the College Football Playoffs. The Demon Deacons, sitting at second in the ACC and ranked No. 13 nationally, would be one step closer to a playoff bid with a win that would keep them in the conversation as one of the top teams in the nation. The Mustangs, unranked in the CFP poll but No. 25 in the AP Poll, however, were confronted with a season that seemed to be slipping from their grip – at third place in the ACC, they already had two losses in ACC play, and a third loss would effectively end any hope of making it to Charlotte.
