Monthly Item of Value: How to Hire a Moving Company

It is important to know how to hire a moving company before making the big move. The company you hire can make a difference in whether your move goes smoothly or not. Do your homework before you make a commitment.

Ask around, friends, coworkers, family members, and find out what companies they used and how it worked for them. Knowing a person who has had personal experience is always helpful.

Get a written, digital or paper, estimate before moving forward. An estimate is just that, but it’s a good guide.

Do some online research. Read revues, check out their credentials. Make an informed decision.

It’s that time of year again – tax season. Tax time can be stressful for many people because they are not as organized as they should be. If you do your own taxes or if someone else does them, you still need to have your paperwork together.

Of course, throughout the year, we hope you were tucking away those receipts, pay stubs and W-2 forms for easy retrieval. Simply by putting everything in one location you will save time when you get ready to prepare your tax return. If you didn’t do that last year, get a box set up for this year where you can put all of your paper receipts.

If you pay bills online, you have confirmation emails, online banking statements, etc. All of those can be put in folders on your computer to keep it organized for tax season.

In ancient times, the Greeks used passive solar to help warm their homes in the winter and stay cooler in the summer. Later came the Romans. They used heat from the sun, picking the optimum places for windows. They were the first to use glass windows that would trap the warmth. We’ve come a long way since then.

While most American use traditional methods of getting electricity to their homes, sun powered energy is coming into its own. The price of getting solar can be prohibitive for some, but an investment of this type can pay off in the long run.

Please read my monthly item of value: The Scoop on Solar to get the full story about adding it to your home.

Stage your home

We’ve all heard about first impressions. They are usually lasting impressions. If you take an objective look at your home, how will it do?

The look of the outside of your home, known as curb appeal, is the first thing a prospective buyer sees. Are there leaves everywhere? Downed branches from the last storm? Gutters full of debris and sagging? In a little time, the debris can be removed and the yard will instantly look better.

Inside your home clutter can be removed. Papers, toys and other objects that are not put away look messy...
