Putting your home up for sale can be a stressful time. If it’s your family home, you have to endeavor to present it to the market while also still trying to reside there which is no mean feat! It can also be difficult to know what exactly to do to have your home prepared for the real estate market.

It’s all about first impressions so the key is to try to look at your property with fresh eyes – what will potential buyers first see when they set foot on your property? Think about everything including the exterior. Mow your lawns, trim your hedges, add outdoor plants too if it helps! Inside, it’s important to fix any niggling items like torn carpets and a fresh coat of paint will be welcomed. It’s not advisable to make wholesale changes like installing a new kitchen for example as many buyers like to choose their own designs.

Adjusting To Disaster: A Claim Filing Checklist

Posted on Author Bruzzese Home ImprovementsCategories infographicTags , Leave a comment on Adjusting To Disaster: A Claim Filing Checklist

Homeowners insurance is something everyone needs to have but no one wants to use. As it turns out, insurance companies feel the same way. Homeowners who file too many claims in the eyes of their insurers can find themselves slapped with much higher premiums for being “high-risk.” Unfair as it may seem to homeowners, the regulatory climate surrounding the insurance industry in most states makes it necessary for them to use caution before filing a claim. Anyone unlucky enough to need the services they pay their homeowners insurance provider for more than once a decade may be “rewarded” with exorbitant premiums or the outright cancellation of their coverage.

That’s why it’s essential for homeowners to protect themselves by knowing how to file an insurance claim judiciously. There are times when filing a claim for damages is the right choice, and other situations in which it can become more trouble than it’s worth. The price of using your homeowners insurance may be higher than the costs of the damages, in the long run.

Before filing a claim for any reason, take a moment to consider the advice in the accompanying checklist — it provides important do’s and don’ts to consider.

Improving your home can come in many different shapes and forms and not that surprisingly, the amount of clutter and mess you have in your home can have a negative effect on yours and your family’s everyday life. The space in which you choose to sleep in, relax in, dine in, work in, play in should be designed to how you want to feel. For example, having a cluttered living room means you’re less likely to be able to switch off and fully relax, as you’ll be distracted by the mess or looking at things which you know you need to sort out. It really can make a world of difference having a cleaner, tidier and more organized home.

This is where Marie Kondo (founder of KonMari Media, Inc), organizing consultant and Netflix phenomenon, comes in. Not heard of her before? Well, she pretty much has an organizing method for every single item you can think of, and her methods really do get results. Yes, it might sound a little too good to be true but once you get started and start seeing even the slightest results, you’ll want to dive fully in and clear your clutter once and for all. Oh, and just a heads up that you will want to get your family involved as well, as trying to tackle your family’s clutter on your own just isn’t going to work.

As well as having her very own show on Netflix, Marie Kondo is the author of the bestselling book – The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. The below infographic, from JD Williams, actually shares 50 of those quotes about organizing in an easy-to-read and easy-to-remember visual format! Whether you’re already familiar with the KonMari method or you’ve never heard of it before, you’ll be able to use these quotes as a starting point for your decluttering journey, or even using the quotes as a checklist.

Timber Shed Care Guide (Infographic)

Posted on Author Bruzzese Home ImprovementsCategories Home Improvement Tips, infographicTags , Leave a comment on Timber Shed Care Guide (Infographic)

Timber sheds generally look more appealing to the eye than metallic alternatives, but one of the downsides of timber is the large degree of maintenance that it requires.

The durability of a timber shed depends not just on the material, but also on the degree to which you maintain it over time. If you treat it at least once every year, there’s a very good chance that the shed will last for a decade or more and will represent an excellent long-term investment. If you neglect to care for it, though, it could decay rather quickly, especially if weather conditions are often harsh where you live.

The most crucial aspect to good shed care is to treat it annually, ideally with a shed preserver or exterior wood oil. Once that is done, check to see how well (or if) the windows are sealed. If you notice dampness around a window, it’s vital to get it sealed as a matter of urgency. You also need to ensure that there isn’t anything touching off the shed which could diminish its quality – leaves from overhanging trees could transmit a lot of dampness on the structure. If you wish to paint the shed in the color of your choice, the coat of paint will also help to protect the timber whole giving your shed a distinctive, personalized look.

The guys at Crowe Sawmills in Ireland produced an infographic on how to care for a timber shed, going through the steps required and including some useful tips. With winter on its way, now is the time to treat your timber if you haven’t done so already.
