Winter is Coming – Is Your Home Ready?

As the colder winds of winter begin to blow, it’s only natural that you begin to wonder if your home is ready for these cooler days. 

To best prepare your home, you need to begin to think about removing the traces of summer fun and start readying your home to keep in warmer air.  Here are the ways you can winterize your home in one day:

• First of all, you will want to remove any patio furniture or other outside structures that were designed for the warmer months. 
• As it snows, this furniture can become damaged, so you want to move it indoors if you can in order to preserve it.  And regardless, since you’re not using it anyway, it’s not going to be missed.
• You will also want to have someone come out to check your heating system before the first snow.  This will prevent any surprise problems in the dead of winter when everyone is calling for repairs too. 
• Also, be sure to have your pipes looked at to be sure they are properly insulated.  When they are not, they can be prone to cracking and exploding, leading you to more problems than you really need.

How to Shop at a Furniture Store Without Spending a Fortune

If you’ve ever headed into a furniture store just to look around, you’ve probably met the persistent sales person. 

While they mean well, you probably want some time alone to make a decision on an expensive piece of furniture – without the influence of the sales team.  But it can seem like it’s impossible to shake these people off in favor of browsing on your own.

Here are some tips to make it possible.

• Without ducking behind the microfiber sofas, you need a plan to escape the sales team.

• You can start by being very clear about your intentions right as you walk in the door.
• Let them know that you’re simply looking around and that if you are bothered, you will not be buying from the store.
• While this sounds a little harsh, it will guarantee that you get some privacy.

• Another tactic is that you can use is to simply ignore the sales person when they come to talk to you.

Just go about your business, but don’t look at them or say anything to them.  This will generally let them in on the fact that you’re not going to talk to them unless you absolutely have to.
