ASK THE BUILDER

BE READY, PIPES CAN BURST IN ANY HOUSE the home three years before, and Dr. Larsen and his wife trusted me.

Little did they know, I had no clue how to build the three simple walls needed for the small new bathroom.

You can't always do this in an existing home, especially if the ceilings in the room are finished with drywall or plaster. As you tilt the wall up, it binds against the ceiling. If you're challenged by a finished ceiling, you'll most likely have to install your top and bottom plates, making sure the plates are

That’s a story for another column.

The mischievous rodent ended up nibbling through the plastic pipe just enough to create a silent leak that reacted to gravity. Water soon ponded under the hardwood floor in our bedroom, causing it to swell. My lovely AskTheBuilder_Template.indd 1 wife felt a new bump in the floor as she walked on the oriental rug that covers the floor but didn’t think too much about it.

Hours later, in the middle of the night, I had a nature call to the bathroom and felt a much larger hump in the floor that had never been there before. But in my sleep-walking state, I noticed it but crawled back under the covers thinking I’d inspect later to see what toy the cats might have shoved under the edge of the carpet. When I woke up at dawn, I immediately saw we had a serious problem. By then, the water had traveled to a basement bedroom, ruining the ceiling and laminate floor down there.

knowing the location of the valve is not good enough. When was the last time it was exercised? I’ve been a master plumber since 1981, and I can tell you that valves need to be exercised just like your body. You need to turn them on and off at least twice a year. You may discover that when you go to turn a valve off, it doesn’t turn or you break the valve.

In our case, my wife and I were lucky that we didn't lose any irreplaceable or sentimental items. Will you be so lucky?

Do you know where the hidden water lines are in your home? Where do they run across ceilings? If a water leak happens, what will get wet below?

Now is the time to move family treasures in your home to new locations where water, heat or sunlight will not damage them. Think about placing extremely valuable things in waterproof containers.

What happens if you can’t get a plumber to come to your rescue

They can be rented, but hundreds or thousands of gallons of water could have flooded your home before you get back from the tool-rental business.

Believe it or not, there’s an even easier way to repair leaking copper, PEX, PE-RT, and CPVC water lines.

You can cut the pipe, remove any burrs and push onto the end of the pipe pushto-connect fittings. My go-to choice is TotalFit ones made by Uponor. I have Uponor PEX in my home. If you can put the cap back on a Sharpie permanent marker, you can install these magic push-to-connect fittings.

It’s key for you to have an assortment of them on hand as well as the correct tool to cut the pipe cleanly. You might also get the special inexpensive deburring tool. Once you see how easy it is to make an emergency repair, you’ll sleep like a baby. ©2023 Tim Carter. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

EXPLORING THE BENEFITS OF

OPEN HOUSES

Open houses have been a traditional part of the real estate industry for many years. They provide an opportunity for potential buyers to view a property in person, ask questions, and get a feel for the space.

In this article, we'll explore the benefits of open houses and why they can be an essential part of the home selling process.

ATTRACT POTENTIAL BUYERS Open houses can be an effective way to attract potential buyers to your property. By advertising the event in local newspapers, online listings, and social media, you can generate interest in your home. Many buyers prefer to attend open houses as it allows them to view multiple properties in a short period, making it easier to compare and narrow down their choices.

SHOWCASE YOUR HOME Open houses provide a unique opportunity to showcase your home in the best possible light. By decluttering, deep cleaning, and staging your home, you can create an inviting and attractive space that will appeal to potential buyers. It's important to ensure that your home is wellmaintained and in good condition before hosting an open house to make the best impression.

RECEIVE FEEDBACK Open houses can be a great way to receive feedback from potential buyers. By talking to visitors and answering their questions, you can gain insight into what buyers are looking for in a home. This information can be valuable when making future decisions about the sale of your home, such as adjusting the price or making repairs.

BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH REAL ESTATE AGENTS Open houses can also be an opportunity to build relationships with real estate agents. Many agents attend open houses with their clients, and by networking with them, you may be able to find an agent who is a good fit for your needs. You can also get a sense of the local real estate market by talking to agents and asking them about trends and pricing.

INCREASE EXPOSURE Hosting an open house can increase exposure for your home. Even if visitors aren't interested in purchasing your property, they may know someone who is. By spreading the word about your open house, you can increase the likelihood that someone will see your property and consider it as an option.

In conclusion, open houses can be a valuable part of the home selling process. They provide an opportunity to attract potential buyers, showcase your home, receive feedback, build relationships with real estate agents, and increase exposure. If you're considering selling your home, talk to your real estate agent about hosting an open house and how it can benefit your sale.

5 TOP MARKETING TIPS FROM TOP AGENTS 1. GOOD PHOT OGRAP HY In most instances, buyers see photos of your home before they see your home in person. Take well-lit, HD photos to spark the most interest in your home.

2. DON’T RELY SOLELY ON THE WEB TO SELL YOUR HOME Lots of people shop on the web for homes, and there are lots of homes on the web.

Stats say that 65 million shop for homes in the U.S. every month. However, only 5 million homes are sold in the U.S. every year. It’s a very crowded space, and your home should be on as many sites as possible. Make sure your agent also takes advantage of targeted print when advertising your home.

More on this later...

3. MAKE SURE YOUR AGENT INCLUDES MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN YOUR MARKETING PLAN Today, we rely on our phones to look up everything, including real estate. Your home should have a marketing plan that includes mobile tools as a significant element. For example, your home should have a yard sign with a text code on it so that potential buyers driving by can look it up on their phone right away.

Put simply, don’t wait around for homebuyers to find you.

Get out there and find them through advertising—both online and offline.

4. MARKET YOUR HOME OFFLINE—LOCALLY Good agents know where potential buyers of your home live, work, shop and play. They use local real estate publications, targeted direct mail, brochures, and other tools to ensure your home gets in front of local home buyers.

5. KEEP YOUR HOME LOOKING GOOD Part of the marketing plan for your home is in your court. This includes how potential buyers perceive it when they walk through the door. Living in a home and keeping it ready to show is a challenge, but it will pay off when buyers find your home more attractive than others they may be considering.

HOW TO DECORATE FOR SPRING

Spring is the season of rebirth, renewal, and growth. As the temperatures rise and the sun shines brighter, it's the perfect opportunity to bring vibrant colors and vitality into your home.

Here are some tips for decorating your home for spring.

Add Fresh Flowers: There's no better way to bring the colors and scents of spring into your home than with fresh flowers. Consider incorporating tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and other spring blooms into your décor. You can place them in vases or create floral arrangements to display on tables, mantels, or windowsills.

Use Bright and Cheerful Colors: Spring is all about brightness and cheerfulness. Consider using bold and vibrant colors like yellow, green, pink, and purple to bring a pop of color into your home. You can incorporate these colors through accessories like throw pillows, curtains, and area rugs.

Swap Out Your Bedding: Spring is the perfect time to switch out your heavier bedding for lighter fabrics like cotton or linen. Consider using brighter and more colorful bedding sets to bring a fresh and lively feel to your bedroom.

Embrace Natural Elements: Spring is a time when nature comes alive, so consider incorporating natural elements like wood, stone, and wicker into your décor. You can use wooden frames, stone accents, or wicker baskets to bring the outdoors inside.

Use Fresh Scents: Spring is all about fresh scents, so consider using candles, diffusers, or essential oils with scents like lavender, lemon, or eucalyptus. These scents can help to create a calming and relaxing atmosphere while bringing a touch of nature into your home.

Update Your Wall Art: Consider updating your wall art with springthemed prints or paintings. You can use floral prints or nature scenes to bring a touch of the outdoors into your home.

Display Spring-Inspired Accessories: There are many accessories that can bring the freshness and colors of spring into your home. Consider using decorative birdcages, butterfly accents, or botanical prints to add a touch of whimsy and beauty to your space.

In conclusion, decorating your home for spring is a fun and easy way to bring the energy and vitality of the season indoors. By incorporating fresh flowers, bright colors, natural elements, and fresh scents, you can create a welcoming and cheerful space that celebrates the beauty and joy of spring.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

SPRING PROJECTS TO HELP YOUR HOME SELL Spring is the perfect time to prepare your home for sale. With the warmer weather and longer days, you can tackle some projects that will help your home stand out in a competitive real estate market. In this article, we'll explore some spring projects to help your home sell.

CURB APPEAL

PAINT AND TOUCH-UPS

STAGING

The exterior of your home is the first thing potential buyers will see, so it's essential to make a good impression. Consider repainting the front door, adding new house numbers, and cleaning up the landscaping. You may also want to power wash the exterior of your home, as well as the driveway and sidewalks.

A fresh coat of paint can make a significant difference in the appearance of your home.

Consider painting high-traffic areas like the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms. You may also want to touch up any scuffs or dings on the walls and baseboards. Don't forget to repaint or touch up the exterior trim and shutters as well.

Staging your home can make a big difference in how potential buyers perceive the space.

Consider hiring a professional stager who can help you rearrange furniture, add decorative items, and create an overall inviting atmosphere.

Staging can help potential buyers visualize themselves living in the home and can help make your home stand out from others on the market.

DECLUTTER AND DEEP CLEAN Decluttering and deep cleaning are critical steps when preparing your home for sale. You want to create a space that feels open, airy, and inviting. Consider donating or selling items you no longer need or use. Deep clean your home from top to bottom, including windows, carpets, and appliances. You may want to hire a professional cleaning service to help ensure that your home looks and smells its best.

UPDATE THE KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS The kitchen and bathrooms are two of the most critical areas in a home. Consider updating these rooms with new countertops, faucets, and lighting fixtures.

You may also want to consider refacing or painting the cabinets to give them a fresh look. If your budget allows, replacing appliances and fixtures can be a significant selling point for potential buyers.

In conclusion, there are many spring projects you can tackle to help your home sell. From enhancing your curb appeal to updating your kitchen and bathrooms, these projects can help make your home more attractive to potential buyers. By taking the time to prepare your home for sale, you can increase your chances of selling quickly and at a good price.

THE BENEFITS OF BUYING A HOME IN

THE SPRING

S

pring is a wonderful time to consider buying a home. With warmer weather and longer days, it's the perfect season to embark on a new adventure and find the home of your dreams. Here are just a few of the benefits of buying a home in the spring.

Increased Inventory: Spring is typically the busiest time of year for the real estate market. As a result, there tend to be more homes on the market during this season, giving you more options to choose from.

Better Weather for Home Inspections: Spring weather is generally milder than winter weather, making it easier to conduct home inspections. You won't have to worry about snow, ice, or extreme temperatures interfering with the process.

Potential for More Favorable Pricing and Negotiation Opportunities: With more inventory on the market, there may be more opportunities for buyers to negotiate and secure favorable pricing. Additionally, many sellers may be eager to close a deal quickly in the spring, which could work to your advantage as a buyer.

Time to Settle in Before Summer: Buying a home in the spring gives you plenty of time to settle in before summer arrives. This means you can get to know your new neighborhood, establish routines, and start planning summer activities.

Access to Spring-Specific Home Features: If you're looking for a home with outdoor features such as a pool or a garden, spring is the perfect time to start your search. This way, you can ensure that you have plenty of time to enjoy these features during the warmer months.

Ideal Time for Family Moves: Spring is a great time to move if you have school-aged children. This allows for a smooth transition between school years, and you can take advantage of the summer break to get settled in.

In conclusion, there are many benefits to buying a home in the spring. With increased inventory, better weather for home inspections, potential for more favorable pricing and negotiation opportunities, time to settle in before summer, access to spring-specific home features, and an ideal time for family moves, it's no wonder that this season is such a popular time to buy. So why wait? Start your search for the perfect home today!
