 Chimney Sweeps - More than Mary Poppin's friendsMany homeowners do not realize that repeated burning of fires will create a buildup of residue (creosote) on the chimney walls. Creosote and ash in your chimney is a recipe for disaster. This combination is highly flammable and is the main cause of chimney fires, which at worst, could ignite the entire house. That is why it is so important to have your chimney inspected annually. To Flip or Not to Flip - Real estate's risky businessIt is important to know if the house you have chosen is free from structural problems. If you are not experienced at looking for the telltale signs of wear, or worse, rot, it will be worth your time and money to hire a certified home inspector. Investing in a home that needs too many repairs is not wise, especially if you are planning to flip it in the coming months. Straw Bale Construction - what's old is new againStraw bales are relatively easy to work with. Basic saws and other hand tools can be used to cut and/or shape walls and window openings. These bales can be sculpted to provide unique shapes within the home, such as window seats, or coved ceilings. Sourcing a Good Foreclosure DealCheck out local free lists of foreclosures, bank-owned properties or short sales. These properties may go quite quickly in the competitive, bargain-hunting world of real estate today. Some homes will be snapped up within one hour of being put on the market. Successfully Buying a Pet-Friendly CondoWhat happens if your condo association finds out that you're harbouring a pet against their regulations will depend on the individual bylaws for your complex. Consequences generally range from fines and having to get rid of the pet, to lawsuits over breach of contract. Renters harboring illicit pets are often evicted if the pet isn't removed immediately. When You Should Find a New Buyer's AgentIf you find yourself calling your buyer's agent regularly with no return calls from them or you never get responses to your emails, you might want to consider getting yourself a new agent. This agent either has too much on their plate or just doesn't consider you an important enough client to communicate with regularly. This isn't to say that you should expect calls to be returned the moment that you leave a message, but they should be able to get back to you in a day or so. Shipping Container Construction: One Solution to Affordable HousingDue to the materials used to make shipping containers, they can be easily recycled into new containers and other steel items, but using them "as is" to build homes can save energy as well as recycle the materials. There are a number of concerns that some people have about these container homes but there are also many advantages as well. When You Shouldn't Work For a ClientThis flexibility includes clients being willing to take less for their house than they'd like due to economic conditions and being willing to stage or have their house staged professionally. If this kind of client isn't willing to back down, especially when home values have fallen, they might not be worth holding on to. Quick-Clean Your Home For Home ToursThe toilet needs to be absolutely spotless. Keep a small box or bucket of cleaning supplies under the sink or in the cupboard so it’s easy to wipe the toilet seat and rim, the sink, the mirrors, the faucets and the shower/bathtub. Toothbrushes and other personal accessories should be stored in a cabinet or drawer – neatly! After every use, the shower and/or bathtub should be wiped down. Sweep/mop floors every day. Hiring an Assistant: Make it Productive, not PrivativeSomeone who adores organizing and who looks to you for leadership is what you need. While it is easy to hire someone with your attitudes and ambitions, it also can set you up for personality conflicts when your assistant thinks they can do the job better than you can.
