Even if an umbrella keeps you dry in a downpour, the wet umbrella drips water all in your car or house when you enter, usually in a hurry to get out of the rain!

Now there’s an umbrella that dries in an istant with just a quick shake.  Called the “NanoNuno” umbrella, it’s canopy is made of nanotech polyester which is designed so that water just rolls right off.  They’re pricy at about $95 but some people may consider it worth the cost. 

Another way to stay dry when entering your house when it’s raining outside is to buy a house with a porch or a garage!  The lovely 4 Bedroom + Bonus, 3-and-a-half bath home at 612 Orchard Place has both a front porch and an attached garage, along with many other nice features.  Convenienty located on the edge of Hillsborough, this home is available for $299,900 and ready to move in.  Great Triangle Homes - The Shuping Advantage Team also has lots of other homes available in the Triangle area with a porch or a garage - check them out!
