Bailey: male, 3 years old, pointer mix. He had a home at one point and would love a chance to have one again. Huxley: male, 5 years old, hound mix. He’s a love bug who could use some time out of the shelter to cuddle people. Vada: female, 2 years old, lab mix. She really needs training and socialization, and would do well in a home without small children. She’s a sweet girl with a lot of love to give. Billy: male, 7 years old, hound mix. This honey would love a home where people took him for nice, long walks and gave him hugs.
Millie: female, 5 years old, coonhound mix. She came to us terribly neglected and needs work with guarding food and toys, as she doesn’t understand that it’s possible to have a home where there’s plenty of both. Freckles: male, 5 years old, coonhound mix. He loves people and lets us know if he considers anything un-
Atlas: male, 5 years old, American bulldog mix. He’s been at the shelter since November 2013 and he could use some time with a loving family. He’s a high-energy dog who loves to hug people. Colonel Sanders: male, 2 years old, lab mix. He’s a southern gentleman but definitely cannot be around livestock as he’s shown an unfortunate taste for chickens.
Interested fosters may contact the shelter at 434-591-0123 or via email at director@fspca.org. FSPCA’s foster application can be found by clicking on “Foster” at www.fspca.org. FSPCA strongly recommends to fosters that they plan to bring their current dogs to the shelter for a meet and greet with any potential foster dogs, so the best match for the home can be ensured. In addition, FSPCA could use donations of cleaning supplies, sturdy dog toys such as Kongs, and financial assistance. Donations may be made at the shelter at 5239 Union Mills Road in Troy, or online at www.fspca.org.

Placing People with Property
Some of these technology upgrades are simple, requiring little in the way of DIY ability, while others are best left to the pros. Regardless, the good news is that as the technology becomes more sophisticated it frequently becomes less expensive, and in some cases may actually be significantly cheaper than it was just a few years ago. Will technology impact your home’s resale value? In some cases the answer is clearly yes. In others it may depend on when you sell and what comes on the market between now and then. An HVAC system that is state of the art today may be considered old and inefficient even five years from now. Even if you don’t get your investment back, you can, in the meantime, enjoy all the convenience and lifestyle enhancements the different technologies have to offer.
Another energy saving technology is the hybrid heat pump hot water tank. These tanks have an extra component on top, Soubra explained, which removes heat from the surrounding air and transfers it to the water. In times of high demand the system can revert back to a conventional water heater as needed, which is why it is called a hybrid tank. “These hybrid hot water heaters are as efficient as the tankless ones,” Soubra said. Programmable thermostats are also a popular technology that offers significant energy savings. However, Sinisa Maricic with CvilleInstallations. com described an even smarter option called a learning thermostat. “The learning thermostat is one step above a programmable one,” Maricic said. The thermostat’s website explains that it is for the 90 percent of people

Energy Savings Technology can make a major contribution to the quality of your life via energy savings. A good example is solar panels which have received a lot of attention in our area thanks to the Solarize Charlottesville program spearheaded by LEAP (Local Energy Alliance Program). Homeowners can request a free energy assessment and if solar panels are appropriate, can choose to have them installed at a reduced cost. Low interest loans to pay for them are available from the UVA Credit Union. “Solar is a big conversation,” said Charif Soubra, Sales Manager for The Woods at Burnet Commons, a Southern Development Homes project near the downtown mall. Homes in this development are pre-wired for solar and Soubra said that for three recent homebuyers, solar installation was a “must.” Returns are immediate with solar systems, he explained, because they are “net metered.” This means the system is directly plugged into the electric meter and the client is only billed for net energy use reducing their monthly power bill.
who install a programmable thermostat but never get around to programming it. When you install a learning thermostat you teach it in the first week what your preferences are by adjusting the temperature for when you are away during the day or at night. After a few days the thermostat learns your schedule and programs itself to match. Expect to save about 20 percent in energy costs when you use one. The
other good news is that you can control it from your phone and for most people installation is a DIY project. Ben Davis, Sales Director for Craig Builders, said “we’ve seen a large push for technology surrounding the energy efficiency of the home.” Some energy saving technologies his company has incorporated recently include variable speed fans as part of the heating and cooling system and multiple programmable thermostats zoned for different parts of the house. “These give the new owners more temperature control in the areas where they’re spending the most time,” Davis said.
Technology Enhances Home Entertainment Technology can vastly expand and improve home entertainment options. Wireless systems are available that make music available throughout the house and even outdoors, Maricic explained adding that “it’s like having a separate boom box in every room that you can control with your phone.” This means you can have the same music playing throughout the house, or something different in each room. It also means “parents can turn down their kids’ music if it gets too loud,” he said. Full home entertainment systems with surround sound are popular, but may not suit everyone, Maricic explained. Many people instead choose a sound bar which “simulates big sound and can be controlled from a TV remote,” he said. Improved functionality is a big part of what technology adds to a home’s audio visual systems. Ben Feiner with Prolink, LLC explained that today consumers have access to online content allowing them to stream videos or access music via Internet radio. They also experience better sound and a much enhanced video experience. Increasing your home’s ambiance through lighting is another life en-
hancing technology. LED bulbs are available today that not only save energy and have a very long life, but are WiFi enabled allowing you to control their color from your smart phone. For example, Maricic described programming your lights to give you the orange glow of sunset even on a dark day. You can also program your lights to be dim first thing in the morning, gradually brightening as you awaken.
Technology Enhances Convenience Home automation, with all of its convenience, is a big part of why people choose to install new technologies in their homes. “When customers do upgrade, we’re seeing it go toward surround sound, home audio and home automation packages…it’s incredible what can be controlled from a smart phone these days,” Davis said. A fully automated home means it is all connected on one platform, explained Nick Salzman with Appalachian Home Technologies, LLC. “One app controls everything including window shades, the HVAC system, lighting and music. You can even access your oven to have it start preheating before you arrive home,” he added. Keeping track of the different systems in your house can be challenging. Did you remember to turn off the stove? Lock the doors? Salzman described an incident when he was drifting off to sleep one night and suddenly noticed one of his kids had left the bathroom fan on. Instead of getting up and walking to the bathroom, he turned it off from the comfort of his bed using his smart phone.
Even though many innovations are wireless, “there are access points that have to be hard wired,” Salzman said. The most important wire, which Salzman called the “Swiss army knife for the home,” is the Ethernet cable. This means for many installations it will be critical to seek the advice of a professional, even if your home is relatively new. However, upgrading even a very old home is not difficult. “Most technologies are not out of the question,” Salzman said. “Today we can do what we couldn’t do even five years ago, and it’s not so expensive.” He did say that it costs more to add these technologies in an existing home because of the wiring that will be required, but it can be done.

Salzman has been in the home technology business since the late 1990s and said that not only are there many more options available today, but they are much less expensive. Compared to when he started in business, the cost to upgrade your technology is sometimes as little as 10 percent of what it was back then. He added that universal remotes are also an option for controlling multiple technologies and are still in use by people who aren’t comfortable with today’s apps. Comfort features are a big reason people like the new technologies. As an example, Soubra described a popular item—touchless faucets for the kitchen. To fill a pot with water just hold it in front of the faucet to turn it on. When the pot is full, move it away and the water turns off automatically.

Resale
Automation lends itself well to home security options of all kinds. Feiner listed some of these, which can include burglar alarms, fire, carbon monoxide and flood sensors, all of which can be controlled from a smart phone. Surveillance is also an option and allows you to keep an eye on doors, driveways and pools. “Log in anytime 24/7,” he said, “to see what is going on.” With the right technology you can control what happens in your home when you are away. You can set your system to have lights go on and off at different times during the day or evening or to lower and raise shades or open drapes making the home look much more like one where someone is in residence. And of course if you forget to set this up or want to make changes you can do that from wherever you are.
As home technologies become more known and accepted, buyers will look for them when out shopping for a home. Even today, while they may not increase the value of the home, “they increase its perceived value,” Salzman said, which can translate to fewer days on the market. New home sales may more accurately reflect the value of some technologies that may eventually impact how appraisers value resale homes. An example is Craig Builders, where “technology upgrades are included in the final purchase price of the home so that real estate appraisers can track what’s added in each home,” Davis said. If you are considering technology upgrades, research the options and consult a professional if you have big plans. Then evaluate whether the extra convenience and safety features are worthwhile for you and your family. If you are like many homeowners, you may well decide the answer is yes. n
Home Wiring While some technology upgrades are simple and lend themselves to a weekend project, others require professional installation.

House-hunters always have “enough storage” near the top of their “want-tohave” lists, along with energy efficiency, a fireplace, a laundry room, and a garage. In fact, having good storage options is a positive selling point for any dwelling. There are two kinds of storage, of course, and it’s good to have options for both. First is storage in view, such as shelves of books or displays of collectibles. For plain-sight storage, a combination of closed and open shelving is ideal. Open shelves can spotlight treasured items. They can also hold baskets or bins in colors to compliment your décor. This type of storage can be built-in or be a combination of freestanding shelves and cupboards that can be rearranged as your needs change. Shallow shelves installed a foot below the ceiling around the top of a room can provide a remarkable amount of storage for books, souvenirs, collections, or other seldom-used items. Enclosed, but visible storage, such as a glass case, glass-topped coffee table, or china cabinet protects items and cuts dusting duties for special items on display. In many places, however, you’ll want out-of-sight storage. This often can be more economical since containers, such as baskets or bins, can be more basic and less expensive than when they are in plain sight. Closet organizing systems are another excellent way to increase storage space. These systems can include drawers; short hanging space for blouses, shirts, and pants; long space for dresses; shelves for shoes and folded garments; and decorative hooks for belts, ties, purses, or scarves.
Finding Enough
HOME STORAGE BY MARILYN PRIBUS
Such a set-up can be custom built or be a DIY project that can be rearranged as your needs change. Several companies including ClosetMaid, Rubbermaid, and Martha Stewart have customizable systems with various configurations and prices. Consumer Reports magazine especially recommends the Elfa System as the easiest to install. There are similar systems for kitchen or laundry storage. An especially useful storage strategy is a lazy susan installation. Corner cupboards in kitchens are notorious for being less than useful, but a large lazy susan makes all that space accessible. Some are available for under $100, depending on the depth of your corner. Smaller lazy susans—especially in higher cupboards where it’s difficult to see the back of the shelf—can hold everything from spices to canned goods. Sturdy two-tiered models with raised lips and non-slip surfaces cost less than $15. TIP: If you are storing things on
high shelves, have a sturdy step stool to retrieve them safely. Dual-purpose furniture is another excellent storage option. Examples: a coffee table with drawers, an ottoman with a lift-off top, or a bedstead with drawers underneath. Other options might be a narrow table that fits behind a sofa, but can open with wide leaves to seat 10-12 or the clever chair that opens into a handy little stepladder. A trendy new storage idea involves staircases and the spaces underneath them. A system of narrow shelves can climb the wall beside the stairs. The area beneath can be fitted with open shelving or a system of rollout shelving or drawers that can often be as deep as the stairs are wide. In some cases, stair risers can be replaced with drawers or shallow shelves holding books.
Container Storage Always remember that purchasing containers in similar sizes is far more
practical than a miscellaneous collection of odd-sized units. In fact, it would probably make your life simpler to convert to matching containers. This is true for everything from kitchen food storage (instead of that muddle of plastic containers with a drawer full of unmatched lids) to large units specifically designed to be stackable. TIP: See-through containers are always preferable so you can easily tell what’s inside without having to open them. If your containers aren’t transparent, it’s important to label clearly on the top and two sides. If you will be using the bins, baskets, or other containers on shelves, be sure to check the dimensions. If the containers will be behind closed doors, inexpensive ones will do, but if you are storing them where they can be seen, make careful selections of colors and materials to enhance your décor. For cellars, attics, garages, or outdoor sheds, opt for completely airtight containers to keep out both critters and humidity. They come in a great variety of sizes and shapes. Finally, a well-kept list of where items are stored is key, especially for seasonal items such as holiday ornaments and ice skates or the badminton set and long-handled barbecue tools. Many people employ a white board or bulletin board where listings and locations can easily be changed. Others prefer a box of index cards. However you do it, maximizing your home’s storage space will keep your life less cluttered and crowded. Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville. She’s a great fan of lazy susans.
A coffee table with drawers, an ottoman with a lift-off top, or a bedstead with drawers underneath are all excellent storage options.

Tips to Update Your Home’s Technology (StatePoint) When thinking about home updates, our attention so often turns to a fresh coat of paint or new décor, but some of the most practical, meaningful changes you can make to your home will truly modernize the way you live. Here are a few key tech updates to fully bring your home into the 21st century.
CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM
Modernize Your Landline As our mobile phones’ functionality expands with each generation, don’t leave your home phone in the dark ages. You can now link your mobile phone calls to your home phone. For example, with a Panasonic Link2Cell handset, you can link up to two smartphones to make and receive calls, as well as receive talking ID alerts so you never miss a text. You don’t even need a separate landline to use these features. Other technology highlights include Enhanced Noise Reduction that allows you to suppress background noise around callers while simultaneously enhancing their voices, and a powerful battery back-up system that keeps you connected when the pow-
er goes out. More information can be found at www.Panasonic.com.
Home Theater Bring the theater experience home by giving your living room or den a tech makeover. A smart home theater system will sync with your devices so you can enjoy music wirelessly or access an external or network drive for media content. Don’t forget the surround sound, as well as a lighting scheme that optimizes your audiovisual experience.
Programmable Thermostat Going green and being comfortable can now go hand in hand. Improve your home’s energy efficiency and well-being at the same time by investing in a programmable thermostat. Look for a user-friendly, intuitive thermostat that automatically turns itself down when you are not home and that can also be programmed remotely from a laptop, tablet or smartphone. Even if you have all the latest mobile gadgets, there’s no guarantee your home life matches your techy on-thego lifestyle. Take steps to bring your home up to speed. n
