 Rain Gardens as an Eco-friendly Landscaping AlternativeSo, if by adding a garden, you can add to your home's attractiveness, increase the resale value and get an "eco-friendly" boost, wouldn't you do it? Rain gardens are one of the latest strategies to combat flooding and pollution, and they can be exceptionally attractive. Craigslist Rental Real Estate a Target for Scam ArtistsBy this time, thought, you two are fast friends... somehow, at least on your renter's end. They can't wait to meet you, they're sure that you'll make the world's best landlord EVER and they don't care about the property that much... as long as you're the one renting to them, they're sure it's perfect in every way. Go With the Flow When Adding on to Your HomeSo you need more space, but you really like your neighborhood and would rather not move. Adding on to your existing home may be the way to go. A home addition is a complex undertaking, but with the right amount of planning and assistance, you'll breeze through it in no time. Here are some guidelines to help you start out on the right path. Haunted OgdenBy day, Ogden appears as a typical small town in Utah, but by night, this quiet little community awakens more than its share of spooky happenings.
Ogden was not always such a friendly community. In the late 19th century it was full of opium dens and brothels along 25th Street. Many were connected by underground tunnels that were the scenes of violent acts. In fact, for a short time, Ogden was known as the "murder capital" of the West! Today, walk along 25th Street at night and you may hear the Eco-scents for Your HomeEssential oils have a myriad of uses around the house, and have the added benefit of the soothing aromatherapy effects they emit. Some of the more popular scents include lavender (calming); lemon or grapefruit (cleaning and refreshing); eucalyptus (revitalizing); and peppermint (energizing). Pick out three or four and begin building your own collection. Some people also like to use pine or fir oils in the colder winter months. Use Paint to Add Punch!On the total opposite end of the spectrum comes a cosmopolitan influence that dares to combine the rustic country feel with the exotic. Take earthy colored metals, such as copper, bronze and gold, and intermingle with Bamboo, Brazilian Cherry or other exotic woods, then add a splash of silk or embroidered velvet. First Time Buyer's Huge (temporary) Tax CreditNew (brand new) housing sales are predicted to bottom out in the spring of 2009 and then they may start rising according to a comment made by Lawrence Yun, National Association of Realtors (NAR) Chief economist. How to be a Prime MoverUsually the last things out of the old house are the first things you need in the new house; this means moving house should be easy, right?
Wrong!
Chaos reigns on moving day because most of us are more worried about the 'moving-out' side of it and devote our energy to leaving the old home sparkling for the new owners.
We do this, even though most of us have to return to work almost as soon as we are moved in, and we know that the more efficient the move is, the better it is for us. Don't Risk Your ChildrenOf course, smoking is the overall highest risk factor for home fires, but in the winter months, faulty heating equipment causes almost the same number of deaths. This means that home safety such as old wiring systems, drying clothes over an unprotected heater, unsafe gas fires, un-serviced clothes dryers, chimneys and wood fires could all represent danger. Hold That Paintbrush Right There...Gloss paint is easier to clean, but it also shows every imperfection; semi gloss is a good compromise. With brushes you can either spend an arm and a leg and keep them forever, or buy cheap throwaways and save cleaning.
