It will no doubt bring in offers for your home and all this is good news. Get Your Heating Bill DownSome statistics say that as much as 80% of the hot air can be lost up the chimney. If that is added to the amount of cold air that is pulled from the atmosphere, then the old log fireplace could almost be said to be mainly a visual experience. Astrology, Feng Shui, Magic Spells... and Selling HomesAstrology has been used to divine the future since before the Common Era. Many people today view it as a harmless amusement. Move.com even has a section for "homestrology" profiles. Realty Times did an article entitled, "Look to the Stars for Decorating Advice", featuring astrologer John Marchesella, who claims that knowing your Sun Sign can help you choose colors for your home. Americans Want Green Homes!Heating takes a large chunk of our money during the winter months; have you thought of installing a wood stove with an outside chimney (the easiest to install)? The new stoves that leave almost no residual wood and are almost 'smokeless' are part of a grant scheme offered by some governments. An Exciting Way to Cook Outdoors'Tis the season for outdoor cooking, and this year there are more options than ever for backyard barbecuing, and even baking, as we will see. In addition to the usual line of gas-fired and briquette grills, wood-fired ovens are gaining popularity amongst food enthusiasts.
