Here are a few ideas to keep your home cool and save on the pocket book.

In most homes during the summer months air conditioning accounts for 40-50% or more of the annual electric bill. So, this is the best place to start controlling your own energy consumption.

Keep your thermostat at 78 with the fan switch on "auto."

Cool your home only when you're there. When you leave for the day, move the thermostat up to 82 and turn it back down to 78 when you come back. It costs a lot less to bring the temperature down to 78 than it does to keep it at 78 all day. You can even buy an inexpensive programmable thermostat that will do this for you automatically, so your home will be nice and cool whenever you're there...and you won't be wasting money when you're not.

Remind everyone in the family how thermostats work: Your house won't cool down faster if you set the thermostat at 70. It just wastes money. If you want the temperature at 78, set the thermostat at 78.

Keeping CoolCeiling fans don't actually cool a room; they just make you feel cooler. That means they don't do you any good when nobody's in the room so you can turn them off. Try setting your thermostat a few degrees higher and use your ceiling fan to keep you cool while you are in the room. A fan that runs constantly can cost up to $7 a month, depending on age and size.

Clean or change your A/C filter once a month. A clogged filter makes your A/C work harder than it has to.

Maintain proper airflow through your system. Keep the interior door and vents open to help your A/C circulate air more efficiently.

Keep sunlight out during summer months. If you have a lot of windows, you'll save on air conditioning if you keep the drapes or blinds closed when you're not home.

Check your duct system for leaks. If you have central air, check all the ducts and seals. If they leak, you're wasting money.

 

 

Importance  of Walking


     Walking can add minutes to your life.
      This enables you at 85 years old
     to spend an  additional 5 months in a nursing
     home at $7000 per  month.

      My grandpa started walking
      five miles  a day when he was 60.
      Now he's 97 years  old
      and we don't know where he  is.
      
      I like long walks,
      especially when  they are taken
      by people who annoy  me.
      
      The only reason I would take up walking
      is so  that I could hear heavy breathing again.
      
       I have to walk early in the morning,
      before  my brain figures out what I'm  doing.
      
      I joined a health club last year,
      spent about 400  bucks.
      Haven't lost a pound.
       Apparently you have to go there.
     
      Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise',
       I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
      
      I do have flabby thighs,
      but  fortunately my stomach covers them.

      The advantage of exercising every day
      is so  when you die, they'll say,
      'Well, (s)he looks good  doesn't (s)he.'
      
      If you are going to try cross-country skiing,
       start with a small country.
      
      I know I got a lot of exercise
      the  last few years
      just getting over the  hill.
   
     We all get heavier as we get  older
      because there's a lot more  information stored in our heads.
      That's my story and  I'm sticking to it.
      
      AND

      Every time I start thinking too much
       about how I look,
      I just find a Happy Hour
       and by the time I leave,
      I look just  fine.

When you are selling your home, you want to be specific about its details.  That is why the listing sheet is so important.  A listing sheet is effective during an open house when potential buyers are viewing your home, as well as during an individual visit.  It also comes in handy later because it reminds interested buyers of all the things they liked about your home or the property in general.

As a seller, you want the listing sheet for your home to be as understandable and accurate as possible.  The basic information buyers often find helpful and should be included on your listing sheet is:

  • Your complete address
  • Total square footage of the home
  • Lot size
  • Year the house was constructed
  • Total number of bedrooms and bathrooms
  • Direction the front door faces
  • Amount of your most recent property tax bill
  • Amenities such as fireplaces, porches, hardwood floors or a swimming pool
  • School district and names of schools in the area
  • Distance to various modes of transportation (train station, airport and highways)

As your real estate professional, I can help you complete a listing sheet that is perfect for your property.  Call me when you are ready to sell your home.  I will be there with you every step of the way, from the sale of your existing home to the purchase of a new one.

Austin Peay State UniversityYOUR TOP 10 DORM ROOM COMFORT ITEMS 

1. A big rug will soften the look of hard institutional flooring.

2. A featherbed mattress topper or mattress pad can really improve the comfort of a dorm bed. They're fluffy and comfy and available in either feathers or fiberfill.

3. Good light. Have focused task lighting at the desk, by a chair and near the bed so you can read and work anywhere.

4. A comfortable place to sit is a must. It can be a side chair, love seat, or even pile of pillows, but will be great for studying, lounging or talking on the phone.

5. Closet accessories are made to solve storage problems. Evaluate your space, then choose from peg racks, over-the-door shoe racks, belt and tie holders and hanging shelves to organize your clothes and accessories.

6. Large body pillows are great for sleeping. But you can also use them to turn your bed into a sofa or for extra floor lounging.

7. Keep handled basket or crate on the floor of your closet to collect laundry and use another to hold bathroom supplies. Then grab and go.

8. A large bulletin board or white board is essential for notes, photos, schedules and assignments. They can help you get organized, show off mementos and serve as a message center.

9. Filing space. Whether you use a file crate or full-size cabinet, it will help organizing your schoolwork, letters from home, insurance papers, pay stubs, tax information and more.

10. Wall decor can be another touch of home. Use artwork to reinforce your room theme of high interests. A full-length mirror is another wonderful convenience.

Most of all have fun at Austin Peay and learn all that you need.

I'm sure most of you are aware of or have at least heard that something is going on with Bill Mace and Mace Construction Company here in Clarksville, TN.  As a result, I am incorporating the following in all of my future purchase and sale agreements for new construction to protect my clients.  "Seller to comply with title insurance underwriter requirements as to the filing of the Notice of Completion."  I am adding the following to ALL of the purchase and sale agreements "Seller to provide Enhanced Title Policy."  No one really knows what is going on with Mace Construction, alot of speculation and gossip that the courts will have to sort through.  I am going to protect my clients on any purchase!

Bill Mace, owner of Bill's Construction, and the manager of the Clarksville branch of Title Connection, Yvette Reimold, are accused of not satisfying mortgages taken out by Mace to pay for the development of the properties before selling them to buyers.

Court filings allege Reimold funneled the money into several accounts in the construction company's name.  Suing Mace and Reimold are Stewart Title Guaranty Company and Title Connection, LLC. Stewart Title is a title insurance underwriter and Title Connection is a "full-service title company," court records state.

According to the petition, filed July 2 in Chancery Court, Mace borrowed money from several federally insured banks to buy lots for real estate development and home construction.

Instead of paying off the existing mortgages used to develop the property, court filings allege that Reimold funneled the money into the company's account.

The Leaf-Chronicle confirmed Wednesday that Mace filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in U.S. District Court in Nashville on July 17.

He is due to appear before creditors and a U.S. trustee in Nashville Aug. 22. Chancery Court records allege the nonpayment took place in at least 12 instances, and was valued at about $1,302,223.

Stewart Title and Title Connection are seeking a restraining order or temporary injunction that will appoint a receiver, call for a judgment for damages and "such other and further relief as the court deems just and equitable."

Court filings include an affidavit signed by private investigator Lynn Wilburn, who supported some of the allegations made by Stewart Title.

How Much Paint Should You Buy to paint your rooms or house?  I never know how much paint to buy and I end up buying too much.  Once when I sold a house I left over $500.00 worth of paint in the garage for the new homeowner. 

If you've ever painted your home's exterior, or even just a room inside, you may have had the problem of what to do with left over paint like I did.  To prevent ever having to deal with the messy disposal or storage of partially used can of paint again, here's a way in which you can measure ahead of time to find out exactly how much you'll need.

INTERIOR PROJECTS

1.  When painting indoor walls, multiply the room's perimeter by the height of the ceiling.

2.  Subtract the square footage of the doors and window frames if you plan to use a different paint for the door or window trim.

3.  When painting ceilings or floors, multiply the length of the room by the width.

EXTERIOR PROJECTS

1.  To paint siding surfaces, multiply the perimeter by the height.

2.  When painting peak areas, multiply the height from the base of the roof line to the tip of the peak by half the base length.

3.  To paint the total square footage, find the sum of both the siding surface figure and the figure from the peak areas.

4.  To paint gutters, add one square foot for every running foot.

5.  If you're using a different paint for the trim, subtract the square footage of doors and frames.

Once you have your measurements, divide the total square footage by 400, the total square footage one gallon of paint will cover.  Then you'll know how many gallons of paint your project requires.

I hope this helps you the next time you are planning on a painting project.
