The 2012 Friends of the House Tour, Cape-ability, focuses on design and architecture, highlighting the many ways Capes can grow and adapt to changing family needs.

And men are sure to appreciate the handsome results, especially since some homeowners wielded their own hammers and saws to create striking and functional new spaces in their own homes.

Although Capes are smaller, they typically don’t know it and therefore accept no limitations. Whether the move is up or out, the Cape readily successfully takes on any and every challenge!

With a great lineup of houses, this is a perfect event for husbands and wives. Who knows? Many a guy may be inspired to tackle a task or two at home after seeing what can be done.

This year’s Friends House Tour will be held Sunday, May 6 from 1-5 p.m. Tickets are on sale at the library at $25; Friends members $20.
