The Benefits of Hiring Professional Contractors No matter how simple popular home DIY renovation television shows make remodeling projects appear, homeowners should know that such undertakings are far more difficult than they appear on television. Homeowners who overestimate their abilities and the time they have to complete projects can cost themselves substantial amounts of money. In fact, there are a variety of reasons homeowners might want to work with professional contractors when tackling home improvement projects.

Experience - Experienced professional contractors with strong track records (seek recommendations from friends or neighbors) won’t have to go through trial and error and are therefore more likely than DIYers to complete a project on time and on budget.

Inspiration - One oft-overlooked benefit of working with professional contractors is the likelihood that they can draw up ideas for projects that homeowners might otherwise never have thought up on their own.

Costs - Conventional wisdom suggests it’s less expensive to do something yourself than to hire someone else to do it for you, but that’s not necessarily true of home improvement projects.

Renovating a home on your own can be a rewarding project for homeowners. But it’s important that homeowners recognize the benefits of working with contractors before making any final decisions with regard to who will tackle their next project.

IN MOTION

A beginner's guide to electric cars Electric or hybrid vehicles can be smart additions to eco-friendly lifestyles. Although such cars were once science fiction, EVs are now increasingly more common and traversing roadways around the world.

Still, even with the wealth of information available, some people still may be unsure about what owning an EV entails and how to make informed decisions when shopping for such vehicles. Going electric means thinking beyond the gas station. Here's how to navigate the ins and outs of EVs. · Type of vehicle: First consider that not all EVs are the same. Hybrid vehicles use a mix of gasoline and electricity and tend to have long fuel ranges. All-electric cars will only use electricity that is gained through charging the vehicle for a certain period of time. · Affordability: Consumers can expect to pay more for electric and hybrid vehicles than gas-powered vehicles.

But as demand increases, costs may drop. Estimates point to EVs as being as affordable as gas vehicles by 2021.

Another consideration is there may be tax incentives for purchasing an EV. S · Environmental savings: Electric cars produce no emissions from the tailpipe and reduce dependency on oilbased fuels. Furthermore, EVs will not need oil changes or emissions checks that traditional cars require, further saving resources. · Fill-ups: EVs can be charged at home using personal charging kits or at charging stations in the neighborhood.

Charge times will depend on the size of the vehicle and its battery. An EV resource, the typical time for an allelectric car using a standard US home wall socket is between 6 and 8 hours. Some new EVs can be charged in 30 minutes to an hour at rapid charging points. · Solar + EVs = savings: Consumer Reports advises that, when EVs are combined with home solar systems, "fuel" costs can be completely eliminated. That financial gain can be a big motivator for some consumers. · Short trips: Individuals who travel 80 miles or less per day may find pure electric vehicles advantageous.

Those who have to go further should consider hybrids that offer greater range. However, Tesla, Chevy and Nissan EVs have recently moved beyond the 200-mile range before requiring a charge. · Charging stations: A report from University of Michigan researchers using data from the Department of Energy suggests that there are now roughly 16,000 public electric vehicle charging stations with about 43,000 connectors in the United States.

Electric and hybrid vehicles could be the wave of the future as more people embrace the convenience these cars offer.

HUNGRY

Spring Ushers in Grilling Season The return of warm weather is synonymous with many things. For men and women who love to grill, spring marks a return to grilling their favorite foods and dining outdoors. Grilled Chicken Ciabatta with Romesco and Baby Greens ,for example, makes for a healthy meal the whole family can enjoy.

Grilled Chicken Ciabatta with Romesco and Baby Greens (Serves 4) *2 loaves ciabatta or 4 ciabattini (ciabatta rolls), sliced in half lengthwise *Olive oil, for brushing Fine kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste *4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to a 1/2-inch thickness *1/2 recipe Romesco Sauce (see below) * Small wedge (about 4 ounces) of Manchego or Parmesan cheese, for shaving *2 cups baby greens Prepare a hot fire in your grill.

Brush the cut sides of the ciabatta with olive oil. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper.

Grill the chicken, turning once, for 5 minutes total. Grill the ciabatta, cut sides down until it has good grill marks, 1 to 2 minutes.

Slather all the grilled sides of the ciabatta with the Romesco. Place the chicken breasts on the bottom half of the bread, shave some Manchego cheese over the chicken, then top with baby greens and the top half of the bread. Serve immediately.

Romesco Sauce (Makes 2 cups) *1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds *2 garlic cloves, minced *1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley *1/3 cup red wine vinegar

*2 jarred roasted red bell peppers, roughly chopped *1 slice white bread (crust removed), toasted and crumbled *1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes *2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

In a food processor, grind the almonds. Add roasted peppers, garlic, bread, parsley, and hot pepper flakes.

Blend until it becomes a paste. Add the vinegar and pulse to blend. With the motor running, gradually pour the olive oil through the feed tube in a steady stream until the mixture thickens like mayonnaise. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Defeat Diabetes Month - April

Defeat Diabetes Foundation (DDF) is on a mission to save children and their families from the pain of diabetes. The first step is creating awareness of the risk factors, warning signs, its high financial costs, and complications. The second step is arming individuals with information to make the right lifestyle choices to insure their health and well being each and every day. The final step is acting on that knowledge and taking a personal pledge to prevent diabetes.

Why Buy Life Insurance on the Northshore?

Facing one’s mortality and the prospect of leaving family members behind is not always easy. Death, financial security, and planning for the future are all difficult subjects, but planning ahead can make matters much easier in the long run.

Life insurance needs frequently come up when making plans, and many people find that purchasing a life insurance policy is a worthwhile investment. Life insurance holds an important place in overall financial planning. One of the most apparent benefits of life insurance is that it will provide a considerable sum of cash upon the insured’s death, which can be put toward the cost of funeral arrangements, housing, and dependent care.

Beyond end-of-life bills and care, life insurance can offer other advantages. Life insurance can provide a family with a financial safety net. When a beneficiary is named, life insurance can serve as an inheritance for that person or people. Heirs may face estate taxes after a loved one dies, and life insurance benefits may help offset all or a portion of the costs.

There may be benefits to life insurance while a person is living as well. Depending on the policy, life insurance can be borrowed against to pay off debt, buy a house or live off of dividends from the life insurance investment. This can provide a source of supplemental retirement income.

Shopping for life insurance requires careful research and an understanding of the products available.

Consumers should have a thorough understanding of term and whole life policies, what premiums will cost, what the death benefit will pay, and if there are any living benefits. For example, living benefits may cover some costs for chronically or terminally ill people.

Working with an experienced life insurance advisor can help people navigate the types of policies available to them.

Items to take to the tax preparer For many working Americans, April 15 is synonymous with taxes. But taxpayers may be happy to learn that they have two extra days to file their returns in 2018. That's because this year April 15 falls on a Sunday, and April 16 is Emancipation Day, when the District of Columbia celebrates Abraham Lincoln's signing of the District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act, which freed more than 3,000 slaves in D.C. The extra two days to file might not be much time, but the extra 48 hours will no doubt please taxpayers who tend to put off filing until the last minute. Whenever taxpayers decide to begin the process of filing their taxes, those who hire professionals to prepare their returns should have the proper items ready when visiting their tax preparers.
