You’re looking for a place you’ll want to call home and one that offers the lifestyle you desire. Ideally, your neighborhood will have a special place in your heart. But the decision shouldn’t be purely emotional. Choose a location wisely before building your dream house there. Once you do, it’s staying.

Set Your Emotions Aside

Before you fall in love with a neighborhood’s charming commercial district or its parks, find out if it makes smart financial sense to live there. Here are some important things to consider:

• Are property values rising or falling? Choosing a neighborhood has an impact on your financial future. Don’t take it lightly. Contact the area’s real-estate association or chamber of commerce for the history of home values.
• Will your home fit in? You can lose money if you build the right home in the wrong neighborhood. You might have to sell it someday. Make sure the size, style and budget match what’s desirable in the neighborhood, or you might end up selling it below its value.
• Does it have good schools? If you have children, narrow the search to neighborhoods with quality schools. There’s no sense in wasting time on neighborhoods that would require a compromise on this consideration.
• What are the property taxes?Rates vary greatly from area to area.
• Does it have building restrictions? Check on convenants and other rules that govern the size and style of homes allowed in the area.

Research Neighborhoods Online

Local real-estate agencies and the town’s official website should provide an overview of neighborhoods. Look for descriptions as well as data on schools, home values and crime. Keep in mind that governments and Realtors want to paint a rosy picture of their areas, so look for independent, unbiased opinions, too. Try the city’s magazine; local publications cover real estate impartially.

Keep An Open Mind

The perfect neighborhood for your family and your lifestyle might be one you’ve never heard of or thought you would consider.

• Perhaps you’re not the city type, but keep in mind that not all cities are designed alike.
• Some have more of a small-town feel; some have better public transportation than others.

If you’re moving to a new location altogether, make sure to check out a variety of places to see what it has to offer.

Visit Potential Neighborhoods

Walk around and get a feel for the place and talk to business owners. Tell them you’re thinking about moving to the area. Ask what makes the place special and if they have an interest in attracting new residents who are suited to the area? In all probability, they will be honest.

Here are a few more tips:

• Notice if people who live around have children and families, if that is important to you.
• Try to visit at different times of the day if your circumstances allow.
• What’s the atmosphere during rush hour? In the evening, is the street parking full? Test out the commute during the time you would be coming and going from work.

Keep A List — And Revise It

Make a list of what’s important to you in a neighborhood. (Shops and restaurants? A community feel? Outdoor recreation? Cultural amenities? Lifestyle conveniences? Public transportation?) As you visit different and new places, that list might change.

You will notice things you hadn’t thought about. You might find a neighborhood better than you even imagined. Make a note of what you love about it; you might be able to find those same features elsewhere.

Learn About The Neighbors

Find out if the predominant lifestyle in the neighborhood matches yours. Are the residents the type to spend a lot of time together, and will they expect you to socialize or be an active part of the community? Or do they prefer their privacy? And does that match your wishes? Compatible neighborsRecent Posts:

We’ve all heard horror stories about the home-building experience, and we’ve seen them on TV. But you can avoid the nightmare by making a smart decision before anyone swings a hammer. Take the process of finding the right professional contractor seriously, and you can find one who will build your home on time, within your budget and with a focus on utmost quality.

Make sure to put these items on your checklist for hiring a contractor.

Is This Contractor Good? Ask for References

You can see the end result of a contractor’s past work from the street, but there is much more to learn. You want the inside scoop on the contractor’s professionalism and temperament over a long period of time and under stressful circumstances.

Never skip this step, even if a trusted friend or neighbor referred you to a certain contractor.

• Ask for at least three client references. Any reputable contractor should provide them. Follow up with each person. Consider talking to their neighbors, too, about what they observed during the construction process and how the contractor dealt with their needs.
• Talk to their people like you. Think about the scope and style of the house you’re building and make sure you get references from the contractor’s similar jobs.
• Remember business references. Contact the contractor’s banker, subcontractors, suppliers and any other associations and ask about the person’s payment history. A history of on-time payments, no liens for nonpayments and repeat business with these partners is a good sign.

Questions to Ask Homeowners That Chose This Contractor

When you follow up with the contractor’s past clients, take the opportunity to learn as much as you can. Don’t be afraid to ask any question; this person has been in your shoes and knows how important it is to hire the right contractor.

You can ask anything, but make sure to find out:

• Did the contractor do quality work? How is the person’s house holding up now?
• Did the contractor meet the deadline and budget? If not, why?
• Was the contractor available by phone and email throughout the process? Which way did he or she prefer to communicate?
• How does the contractor handle problems? No home-building experience is without some obstacle. Ask what the past client encountered and how the contractor resolved it.
• Were they happy with the contractor’s time commitment?
• Was any part of the job not completed?
• Was the contractor knowledgeable about building permits?
• Would they recommend the contractor to family and friends? If not, why not?

Check Out The Contractor’s License

First, contact your local homebuilder’s association to find out what kind of insurance your state requires contractors to carry and if the law also stipulates any special certifications or licenses. Then ask the contractor to provide proof that he or she meets the requirements. Finally, contact any associations for the construction profession in the area, as well as the Better Business Bureau and Angie’s List, to check for a record of filed complaints.

Review The Contract Carefully

This isn’t one of those contracts you can skim and sign – a comprehensive, detailed contract leads to a successful project, if you understand it. Don’t move forward until you have read it and understand it thoroughly.

Hire a contract attorney to review it for extra protection. Remember, there are no dumb questions. It should address:

• Estimated start and finish dates.
• Total cost and payment schedule.
• Milestones.
• Details on the scope of the work. This should include full materials allowances.

Make Sure the Contract Protects You Too

A protection clause addresses how the contractor will compensate you for going over time and/or budget.

• If the project takes longer than promised, you could pay more interest on your construction loan.
• While delays might seem reasonable and unavoidable, an experienced contractor should manage them without passing on the burden to you.
• It’s fair to ask the contractor to reimburse your loan-interest payments for every month the project goes past the agreed-upon schedule. It’s also common to provide a grace period before this stipulation kicks in.

Hopefully these tips will help you make the right decision when hiring a contractor, which makes the rest of the home building process go smoothly. And don’t forget to get a great house plan – we can help you there.Recent Posts:

There are all different types of man caves – nerd caves, sports dens, and pubs – but they all have one thing in common; they’re all a worthy hangout for a man and his friends. Every small idea can be great as long as it helps provide a relaxing environment that’s conducive to one’s own particular brand of masculinity. And since interior decorating isn’t really most men’s’ cup of tea, here are a few great ideas for spiffing up your car port and getting your man cave product underway right.

Choose a Theme

Nothing makes a space more coherent than a good theme. Sports, comics, video games – no matter what one’s favorite pastime is, it’s easier than you think to develop a man cave that embodies it perfectly. However, a good theme doesn’t have to be so general. Consider a theme based on your favorite show, like Mad Men or The Sopranos? Imagine a fully stocked gin and whiskey bar, classic leather couches and walls decorated with classic advertisements, or Francis Ford Coppola movie posters, cigar ashtrays and huge Tuscan sofas.

Suit your personality first, but don’t be afraid to entertain your creative side as well.

Consider Going Classic

The study was the original man cave. Dark wood, books, maps, leather chairs and globes filled with liquor – these are the elements that have defined man caves for centuries, and they can be the elements that turn your garage into a tribute to classic manliness. Of course, just because you’re surrounded by books doesn’t mean you can’t install a flat screen for the game.

Work with What You Have

Garages are already pretty manly, so if you’re light on materials or time, don’t be afraid to keep your man cave basics at first. Just clearing out the clutter in the garage is often enough to get the space feeling a lot more comfortable. This is where good storage ideas can really make a difference:

• Consider overhead storage in bins that attach to the ceiling
• or building a simple partition between your cave and your functional garage.

The sooner you carve out your territory, the sooner you can start making it your own.

Comfort is Key

One mistake that many men make with their man cave is that they get so wrapped up in decorating the space that they forget to make it comfortable. Sure, bar stools with team logos will look cool, but do you really want to sit on them for hours on end? Consider a team logo couch instead, or maybe even a series of sport-themed recliners. After all, your man cave isn’t about impressing other people – it’s about you having your own personal space to relax!

To conclude, no matter what kind of man cave you decide to design, try to remember to work within your skill set and not turn your garage into a one-room money pit. Sure, thousands of dollars in furniture and entertainment equipment can go a long way in making you more comfortable, but you might end up spending more time in your man cave than you planned.Recent Posts:

According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2013 Cost vs. Value Report, one investment that is truly beneficial right now is building a garage – either connected or stand-alone. According to the report, many families are enjoying surprising financial returns; thanks to garage projects, and not necessarily for the reasons you’d think. So, before you make any assumptions about the costs and logistics of adding a garage to your home, consider the following points.

Construction is Cheaper than Ever

Construction companies are starving for projects right now, which means that they’re willing to work on bare minimum profit margins in order to keep their businesses running until the economy picks up. This means that garage projects are costing almost ¼ of what their cost was, ten years ago (adjusted for inflation).

Enterprising families are taking advantage of this by building garages that dramatically increase the space of their homes, such as :

• Using your garage as additional storage space;
• Adding a second floor above your garage to be used as apartment space (more on this in the subsequent paragraphs);
• Building a garage that is large enough to practically add a second home to the property, driving resale values through the roof.

Storage Space Alone Saves Money

Not only does extra square footage add zeros to your home’s resale value, but it also saves you money in ways most people don’t often consider. For instance, cars that are parked in garages are dramatically less likely to be damaged through hit-and-run accidents, fallen limbs, or extreme temperatures. This can mean hundreds to thousands of dollars in saved repair / wear-and-tear costs every year. Also, storage space alone is a money saver, as families become less likely to dispose of objects cluttering up the house only to find that they need to re-purchase them months or years later.

Having Tenants

By far the most important factor behind the sudden popularity of garage construction is the national loosening of tenant laws. Earlier, it used to be extremely difficult to obtain the proper zoning and permits to have a tenant in an adjacent garage apartment, but new rules have made it much easier. Now thousands of homeowners are not only recouping their garage construction costs, but are actually profiting from renting out the new space to young adults or single individuals who want to live in the area but can’t afford a home.

Of course, if this is your goal, there is a lot you need to consider before you break ground. Zoning laws will vary from city to city, as will occupancy laws and taxes associated with renting out space. It would also be a good idea to make sure your neighborhood doesn’t have any rules regarding garage apartments and to make sure your new garage design conforms to all the regulations needed to be considered for rental.

 The Mother-In-Law Effect

The absolute crème-de-la-crème of garage apartment situations is what is known as the “mother-in-law effect.” This is when an elderly family member becomes unable to support themselves or live on their own, and is confronted with the decision to either move into a nursing home or with family members. With a proper garage apartment in place, an elderly family member can have their own space, thus preserving their sense of independence, while saving the collective family thousands on nursing home fees.

No matter what you plan to do with your garage, it’s always important to understand the benefits currently associated with building one on your property. You don’t have to become a landlord or even add a second floor to see financial returns, and last but by no means the least, you’ll never see a more viable time to start building than right now.Recent Posts:

Yet there are a number of ways in which designers develop creative ways to make spacious, tranquil home offices out of otherwise cluttered or unused spaces. By using nooks and corners that many people ignore, these home office innovators are using a little elbow grease and know-how to carve out the perfect little niche for their home business. Let’s discuss a few of these options in the following paragraphs..

The Office Under the Stairs

Open staircases, whether they are in a basement or a living room, can be a perfect place under which a comfy, dynamic work space can be set up. A permanent or temporary partition can help enclose the space a bit, and allow for shelves, a desk and other office accouterments to be installed.

Even though the space may seem strange at first, the addition of a few office supplies (computer, cabinet, and wastebasket) will make it seem like a perfectly comfortable cubicle. The open back will allow the user to stretch out a bit, without ever having to be distracted by the temptations of the open house behind them. Phone lines, extension cords and other utilities can easily be wired in from other rooms, and the space can be used for storage when the work day is done.

The Garage Cubicle

Garages and sheds are usually great spots to find underutilized space. Not only will there be access to electrical outlets, but the occupant can also control their exposure to natural light and fresh air. The only problem with these areas is that they tend to be dingy and stuffed with outdoor equipment, which can often be distracting. In that case, an innovative individual can ferret out a cosy corner and build or install a separation wall. A simple 4×4 wood frame with plywood will effectively contain the space, and allow the builder to adjust the size of the office to their preference.

Afterwards, a couple of shelves, a desk and filing cabinets can help the partition to function as an office. Some garages will already have utility shelves and tables that can be re-purposed into the design. It would also be best to include at least one window in the partition, as natural light can brighten up and expand small spaces.

A Clean Place to Create

Some home office enthusiasts who are extremely short on space might find themselves drawn to the one bright, well-lit and relatively quiet spot in the house; the kitchen. While a kitchen office could rarely be permanent, the quick addition of a laptop, a chair and a few portable shelves could turn the place into a perfectly suitable temporary work space for the hours when the family is out of the house. Many creative individuals have managed to effect this change with nothing but a flat board placed over the sink, taking advantage of the permanent counter space to serve as a temporary desk. Quite a novel idea!

A Light in the Attic

Providing there aren’t any pack-rats in the household, unused attic space can provide a perfectly pleasant space for a home office with very little effort. In fact, attics are usually the first room to be re-purposed as office space for a number of reasons:

- Most attics have outlets.
- Most attics have windows.
- Attics are quiet and peaceful
- Attics are usually the first consideration for re-decoration

If a user does find their attic too cluttered for their needs, a simple re-packaging and re-location of items may be all that’s needed to whip the space into shape. If the attic has a lot of loose items, a creative person could pack them away in cardboard boxes, and then arrange those boxes to form the walls and shelves of their brand new office.

No matter where it is, how big or how small it may be, a good home office instills the occupant with not just a sense of creativity but a sense of responsibility as well. It should be a place where they feel comfortable, but it should also be one where they feel free of distractions and inclined to get to work.Recent Posts:

The post 4 Clever Nooks to Create a Home Office appeared first on .

1. Not too little, not too much (light)

Lighting is essential for productivity. It helps you stay awake, and it helps you focus on what you are doing. However, it is possible to have either too much or too little lighting in your work environment. Too little lighting can contribute to eyestrain, headaches and drowsiness while glare can be a real problem when there is too much light. Here’s how you can counter this problem.

• Go for natural light first: Arrange furniture to take advantage of natural light if your home office gets any at all. This usually means avoiding glare on your work surface while simultaneously avoiding the creation of dark spots in your work space  Add a lamp or two with bulbs that mimic natural light to handle whatever the window can’t.
• Consider different lighting for your office: Some people like to have different lighting for their office than in the rest of their home. Most people who work at office buildings choose different lighting in their home than at work. This can be a good way to mentally differentiate the situations. Work lighting also frequently needs to be brighter than home lighting where the same amount of illumination could seem harsh.

2. Divide your work space

Organize your home office by dividing your work space into three areas: work, storage and supplies. These might include:

• Work: A flat surface and a computer. This will help you keep the work surface free from clutter so that you can actually work on it.
• Storage: A filing cabinet. A storage area can hold papers that you don’t use every day.
• Supplies: A closet or bookshelf. A neat supply area makes getting what you need easy.

3. Provide a space for relevant papers on the work surface

Most papers (especially the important ones) should be kept in your storage area where they aren’t getting in the way. This will also ensure that you don’t misplace the confidential ones. However, whatever papers you are using while you are actually working need a home closer to the work surface. This ensures that they are at hand when you need them. Providing an actual space where they belong also helps ensure against the problem of allowing them to take over your work space.

4. Have enough furniture for your needs

If you need a filing cabinet for your storage space, then get one. If you need to spread out on a flat surface to do your work, consider a larger desk. Furniture serve as an important tool in a home office, and having enough furniture makes it considerably easier to get the job done.

5. Choose attractive furniture for aesthetic appeal

Offices tend toward the functional and sometimes the functional tends toward the boring. However, making a home office busy can be a mistake because it can take the productivity away from work. One of the best ways to make your office aesthetically appealing and still productive is to choose unique or attractive furniture. Consider working at an antique desk or buying a stylized office chair in a unique color.

6. Avoid clutter but embrace decor

A totally spartan workplace does not inspire positive emotions. Choosing a few things to have around that made you happy when you look at them can really make a difference in your work-time mood. This could be a plant, photos of your loved ones, an inspirational photo or quote in a frame, etc. Avoid having more than a few things, though, as this could wind up being clutter instead of decor.

Home offices come in all shapes and sizes just like the people who work in them. If a particular option does not appeal to you, think about the underlying principle behind the idea. In most cases, these principles can be adapted to your desires and still help you create a more productive, attractive office.Recent Posts:

Check the Paper

One of the most basic places that you can start is to check the paper for listings. Go through the classified section to see advertisements by owners themselves for the sale of their land. This can be a good way to get started because it will give you an opportunity to buy land without paying any commissions to agents/ middlemen. Sometimes, the owners even finance the purchase for you, so that you don’t have to worry about getting a loan amount approved for buying the land. You simply have to contact the owner of the land to go and see the location in person.

Work with an Agent

Another approach that you can consider is working with a real estate agent. A real estate agent can take you around and show you properties, as well as show you some pictures online. If you are very busy, working with an agent can save you some time as they do most of the research for you. However, it can also end up costing you more money because they charge you for the services; known as commission, offered to you.

Use Online Resources

In many cases, it is best to start your search online and complete the process by yourself. There are a number of different resources out there that you can use to find the type of land you need. For instance, you could log on to http://www.landflip.com/. They offer deals on the sale of land. If you’re looking for home sites or for farms Landflip.com is the place. http://www.loopnet.com/Land-For-Sale/ is another great resource for those who are looking for land. They have vacant land as well as commercial properties for sale.

They also have a good Android App http://blog.loopnet.com/2012/08/get-loopnets-new-android-app.html. The LoopNet Android app is fast, fresh and ready for you to install and update. By getting the mobile app for your smartphone or tablet, you can tap into millions of commercial listings from your phone. This makes it easy to find properties to look at even while you are out and about.

Yet another source is http://www.landsofcalifornia.com/. They have just launched the most exciting tool to search for rural property for sale, no matter where you are! This tool is called LandsMobile. LandsMobile now enables buyers of land to search no matter where they are across the country.

Important Factors

When you are searching for land, regardless of what strategy you use, there are some factors that you have to look at. For example, you need to look at whether the land has electricity and utilities nearby. If not, you will have to spend quite a bit of money to bring everything you need to you. You should also look at the slope of the land and if it has any water or trees on it. If there are a lot of trees, it may be difficult to clear it. At the same time, you could use timber to create some extra income.

No matter what type of land you’re looking for, make sure that you do your homework. Buying land is a big financial step, and you want to make sure that you make the most out of your purchase. So, take time, talk to the experts in this field and have your priorities set before making the final decision.Recent Posts:

Choose a Desired Effect

Before deciding on a particular paint color, decide what statement the room is going to make. If you want a bold look, consider colors that are vibrant. Reds, oranges and purples are great hues for creating a room that pops. Neutral colors are good for creating an elegant looking room. If a room is meant to be calming, choose lighter paint colors and take a monochromatic approach.

Visit a Paint Store

One of the best ways to pick a color is to go to a paint store and look at color swatches. Some paint companies provide brochures with photographs that demonstrate uses for the paint colors. If possible, ask for a small sample of the paint. Paint an inconspicuous area of the room with the sample. This will allow you to see the actual look of the color in your environment.

Do Not Forget About Lighting

The type of light and amount of lighting can affect the way certain colors look. If the room has a lot of windows, consider the pattern of sunlight in the room. If the light enters the room from the north, the room will not receive a lot of light. Warm colors work well in rooms that do not get a lot of natural light. Fluorescent bulbs produce a blue, cool light. Incandescent lighting emits red, warm light. All of this plays an important role in how the paint will look in the room.

Create a Coordinating Color Scheme

Most rooms have a different wall and accent colors. Coordinating the colors of the trim and walls creates a cohesive look. If you need assistance in finding complementary colors, consider using a color wheel. You also cannot go wrong choosing a monochromatic color scheme. Some paint manufacturers provide coordinating trim color suggestions.

The Reason for Painting the Room

The reason for painting a room may also affect the color you select. If you are painting a room for the purposes of updating it, then select a color that reflects your style. If you are repainting the house for sale, consider using white or off-white. These two colors will make it easier for the future homeowner to repaint the house as per his or her choice. The neutral walls allow the prospective buyers to imagine themselves in the home.

The Size of the Room

When painting a room, keep in mind the room’s size. Neutral and light colors make small rooms appear larger. Another illusion for small spaces; paint the moldings, ceiling and walls in the same color as it’ll also lengthen the room. Almost all colors work for larger rooms. To make a larger room seem compact and cozy, paint the ends of the room, two shades darker than the shade chosen for the room.

Avoid a Clash of Colors

Consider all other colors/ shades in the home before choosing a color scheme for a particular room. The color you are going to paint a room should coordinate with other wall colors that are visible from the room. However, they don’t need to be an exact match. Basic color coordination is a must so that the whole house displays a connection.

Making the decision to makeover a room can be tiring but at the same time a lot of fun. One of the quickest and least expensive ways to change the look of a room is by painting it. With the variety of paint colors available, finding the right one may seem daunting. But if you keep in mind the tips discussed above, it will help you make the best and the right choice…always!Recent Posts:

The post Choosing Paint Colors for Your Home appeared first on .

Let’s discuss a few options in detail.

Cabinet Types

Cabinets can be made from wood, MDF or low-density fiberboard. Each option has pros and cons, both of which are discussed below.

- Wood: Solid wood cabinets are most desirable. This is because they last the longest and their beauty is unmatched. However, one has to pay a lot for this kind of durability and looks. So, unless you have an exclusive budget for your kitchen accessories, wood cabinets may not be your first preference.

- Medium-Density Fiberboard: Cabinets made from MDF are a great choice for the homeowners who wish to give their kitchen a high-end wooden look. These cabinets have a reasonable long life, but will eventually fray due to the high levels of heat, humidity and moisture found in kitchens, apart from the daily use kitchen cabinetry. If you choose to make cabinets with MDF, thicker is always better. But again, thicker is more expensive and may get out of your budget.

- Low-Density Fiberboard: These cabinets are best for a vacation home or for the homeowner who is going to eventually install custom cabinetry but needs something economical until that time. These are the cheapest of all kitchen cabinet options discussed so far. Even though the low-density fiberboard saves a lot of money in the kitchen cabinet department, it will fail before MDF, especially when the cabinets are used every day.

Don’t Get Stuck on Cabinet Brands

You will definitely be paying more for branded cabinets available in the marketplace. So, if money is important to you, avoid buying them. Don’t worry about who made the cabinets, pay more attention to the quality, durability and look of the product you are about to buy. How often have you heard people asking “what brand are your kitchen cabinets?”. Probably not very often.

Add-ons You Can Do Yourself

Cabinets that have custom hardware, turntables and pull-out drawers will cost more than the average run-of-the-mill cabinets. Don’t pay the cabinet manufacturer to install these options; you may be able to do it yourself. Cabinets are much cheaper if you purchase them with no hardware. Get your cabinet hardware from the local home store and you can save a bundle by installing it yourself. Purchase a turntable from the store and place it in a corner cabinet. Turntables come in different sizes, so finding the one that will fit your cabinet perfectly won’t be that difficult. If you really want some pull-out shelves, get a kit at the home store and follow the simple instructions to install them yourself.

Used Cabinets

The most frugal homeowner can save a great deal by getting used cabinets. By checking out auction sites like Craigslist, you can find wood cabinets that have been removed from an existing home for close to nothing. Some people just want the cabinets taken away and virtually give them away. These cabinets may be outdated, but they can be stripped, painted and the hardware changed to create an updated look with minimal effort. You can also add trim to the doors to create a custom look for just a few dollars and hours of your time.

However, keep in mind these two points when searching for used kitchen cabinets.

- It’s always best to give them a detailed look prior to making your purchase.

- It’s likely that cabinets which have not been taken down yet, may get damaged in the demolition process. So don’t agree to a purchase price until the cabinets have been removed.

To conclude the discussion, please remember that a little awareness, sound planning and investing time to weigh all options can save you a lot of money in getting kitchen cabinets made. With many different material options, finishes and hardware choices, you can get the high-end look for a fraction of the price.Recent Posts:
