CUSTOMER SUPPORT

No matter if your finances are a source of anxiety or if you live within your means, it’s always a good idea to periodically reevaluate the way you spend money.

While credit cards give consumers the purchasing power they need to lead comfortable lives, they can also make irresponsible spending all too easy.

The Monthly Grapevine® 9040 Brentwood Boulevard, Suite B Brentwood, CA 94513 Available in Person Monday 9am - 4:30pm Tuesday - Thursday 9am - 5pm Friday by Appointment Main Office: 925.634.0880, Fax 925.634.7822 Write us at: info@monthlygrapevine.com 24/7 at www.monthlygrapevine.com

In these uncertain financial times, getting a handle on any debt you may have is more important than ever. Luckily, it’s never too late to learn good spending habits. The first step toward prosperity is taking control of unconscious debt -including impulse purchases that you buy on credit but don’t need or don’t even remember purchasing. A healthy attitude toward wealth comes good habits.

• If you have debt, develop a specific repayment plan with fixed payment amounts.

• Never pay late fees on your credit cards and other bills. They are as good as throwing money out the window. Pay your bills on time, all the time.

• Before you make a purchase, ask, do I want this item or do I need this item? If it is only a want, evaluate whether your budget supports it. Wealth is not defined by the amount of stuff you have.

• Write yourself a list to avoid binge shopping. If you want to make a purchase that’s not on the list, try putting the item on hold. If you forget about it after a week, you probably didn’t need or want it that much in the first place.

American Built Pools Serving the Bay Area for more than 30 years, American Built Pools, Inc. not only designs, constructs and builds custom swimming pools, but builds a relationship with each client. As a family-run business, owner Jorge Esquivel understands that investing in a custom pool is a huge decision. That is why while focusing on your vision, American Built Pools also keeps in mind your family’s safety, practicality, budget, lasting comfort and durability.

As the name suggests, American Built Pools does build a great pool, but they do much more than just pools. They can handle projects in hardscape and landscape, water features, BBQ areas and if you already have an existing pool and are just looking to upgrade, renovate or remodel, they can take care of that, as well. Other types of construction from small to large and simple to custom projects are also part of the services offered by American Built Pools. In fact, not too long ago, one of the projects they completed was the expansion and renovation of Brentwood’s own Jalisco’s Restaurant.

The mission of American Built Pools is “Time Conscious, Quality in Mind”

and is at the heart of how they do business. To minimize interruptions to your lifestyle and property, they execute their planning, design, and construction process thoroughly.

American Built Pools, Inc. does high quality work, which is the only acceptable standard. With a focus on customer service, they know that communication with clients is key and they enjoy the creative process, working hard to make your dream a reality. To help with tighter budgets, they’re able to handle a number of construction items in-house. And when they do use subcontractors, they use people they’ve been doing business with for more than 15 years to further ensure a high-quality project.

With most clients coming to them through referral, American Built Pools, Inc. believes in focusing on your vision and using those tools to create your dream pool. While doing business with them, you will receive the kind of quality and service you expect from a leader. They feel a responsibility to know what you want and they’ll work closely to ensure that the solutions they provide are tailored to meet your unique needs and challenges. In addition, they can construct pools in yards of all shapes and sizes. Their expert design and engineering team can handle the most challenging of properties. You’ll be both surprised and pleased with their innovative ideas,

so before you give up on that small or hill-side location, call them for free design advice.

Technology is changing at an unprecedented rate and swimming pools are no exceptions. Innovative water treatment options, fiber-optic lighting, spa products, remote controls, auto-cleaning systems and many other products are available now to make your pool experience easier and more enjoyable than ever. Tell American Built Pools what you’d like and they’ll walk you through all the options and explain how everything works.

As a family-run business, Jorge’s sons, Luis Esquivel and George Jr. are also very involved in the business.

In addition, George Jr. is active in the community with Cornfest, youth baseball, football and has a star tennis player on the varsity tennis team at Liberty High. He describes himself as a sports-oriented, family guy and tries to bring those values to the company, as well. George Jr. tells us that with American Built Pools, “You get what you pay for. We are honest, reasonable and do not compromise with our work or our reputation.”

American Built Pools can be contacted at 925-206-9248, 925-570-4038, 925449-5539 or visit their website at www. americanbuiltpools.com.

TRAVEL TIME

Romantic Cruise Although Valentines Day has come and gone, anytime is a great time for a romantic cruise vacation. For couples looking to rekindle the spark in their romance, the sea is calling with a million ways to fall in love again. A recent survey commissioned by Royal Caribbean International, a large majority (90%) of Americans astoundingly ranked sex as the top activity on their cruise itinerary. Respondents also consider cruises to be the most romantic type of vacation while offering a better value for their dollar. More than four out of five respondents also say that a cruise with their partner is more romantic than a land-based vacation.

Royal Caribbean offers an endless array of options for keeping the passion alive. With 22 innovative ships, calling on more than 270 destinations in 72 countries across six continents, there is something for every couple - whether

they envision a romantic epicurean experience with their significant other, exploring a port of call or simply sharing an intimate moment in the privacy of their stateroom. Need more reasons?

How about these:

a land-based vacation. And not only is sex more frequent on a cruise vacation, but a majority felt that the sex on their last cruise was better than normal. Is the balcony the place? Well, a quarter of the respondents said yes!

1) Love Liner: A huge number (80%) of survey respondents leave their previous cruise feeling more “connected, in love or attracted” with their partner. Royal Caribbean can supply the ship - all you need is your mate.

Royal Caribbean offers more than 100 itineraries for every romantic possibility.

2) Relationship Rx: Is it possible to cruise your way to a better relationship?

Perhaps. Nearly three-quarters of respondents say that spending time with their significant other on their most recent cruise improved their relationship.

3) Port of Love: Respondents indicated that they are more likely to enjoy a number of romantic activities on a cruise than on a land-based vacation, including watching the sunset, strolling in the moonlight, stargazing and sharing a romantic dinner.

4) Nautical Naughtiness: More than half of the respondents say they are more likely to be intimate on a cruise than on

HEALTH

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

Water Flosser Traditionally, personal oral hygiene starts with brushing and flossing. Interdental cleaning is a key step in a personal oral care regimen.

Flossing is considered the gold standard of interdental care. A great benefit of flossing is that it reduces cavities which start in between teeth. Sometimes, due to arthritis or other health problems flossing can be difficult to do and when given a choice, patients choose other interdental devices, such as brushes and floss holders over floss. Studies have shown that if the product is cumbersome or difficult to do then it is not used as often as it should be or not used at all. This holds true even in a life or death situation. For example, only one out of eight people who have had a heart attack kept taking all the medications by one month of the hospital discharge. Compliance with oral hygiene is not different. Data shows that only 2-10% of the population floss regularly and effectively. Brushing alone cannot remove all the plaque from the tooth surface even

when done correctly and thoroughly. It is recommended to brush the teeth for at least 2 minutes. However, the average brushing time is only 37 seconds according to the American Dental Association survey.

A combination of brushing and flossing has been shown clinically improve the health of the gums and teeth.

There is a water flosser, also known as a dental water jet that has been in use for more than forty years for use in a personal oral care regimen in addition to brushing.

The water flosser uses a combination of pulsation and pressure elements. The combination of pulsation and pressure expels debris and bacteria from in between the teeth and under the gums.

Not all water flossers and dental water jets are the same. Some have differences in the pressure and the pulsation specifications. The pulsating water can access areas that may not be accessible to a tooth brush. Cleaning around the crowns and bridges can be tedious and difficult. A water flosser can help to clean in between the teeth and the gums.

The water flosser is a good alternative to flossing when patients are having orthodontic treatment where it is difficult to clean around the braces and wires with regular brushing. Research has shown that patients with gingivitis, periodontitis

and diabetes can also benefit from using the water flosser. There are different designs of water flossers available on the market and water is usually cost effective, but some of them do accept most mouthwashes to be used in them as well.

Regular and effective self-care is important to the long term health of the teeth and gums, in addition to keeping up with the regular checkup and cleaning protocol at the dentist. Brushing, flossing and using a water flosser has been shown to reduce gingivitis, bleeding, reducing inflammation in the gums and the periodontal tissues, especially for those who are at increased risk for periodontal disease, kids with special needs and those having braces.

WHOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BEEN SNOOPED?

how those restaurants get that Italian slate and vintage look in their floors.

The Art of Concrete

Imagine turning your boring driveway and walkways into beautiful tile squares with sandstone and walnut colors. This is the kind of stuff you see in those gated communities with big custom homes. The neat part about this is it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require bricks, pavers, or tiles, it is all created out of concrete with stamps and custom colors.

That means you can take the colors of your house and match them to your sidewalks and driveway. How cool is that?

Well, it is that time of year again! Cupid has his bow drawn and the City is filled with red roses and shiny balloons. Remarkably, the weather outside looks like spring, and it is only Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. The sun is bright, the sky is blue and the clouds look like art. You can see hints of alfalfa and red oat hay peeking through the dirt and the blossoms are starting to show on the cherry trees. And, with the rain nowhere in sight, it makes you want to get outside and spruce up the place after winter. What a perfect time to look in on a local business that can bring a new life to your home overnight.

Manuel Iglesias Concrete has been in business for 35 years and is considered one of the best in the industry. This is not your normal gray concrete guy; he is the master at quality custom art! I visited their website at www.manueliglesiasconcrete.com to find great pictures of some of the work they have done. I was amazed at the different samples of texture, color and design that could be done with concrete. Now I know

the economy in a slump, who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to save money? And, my friends in the real estate business are telling me that people are staying in their homes and investing in upgrades to put on a bright new look. With help from Manuel, you can begin to create a whole new home from the outside in.

I think the part I liked best was the indoor possibilities. You can finally get rid of that boring old carpet and replace it with custom designed concrete. With the influence of Tuscany in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dĂŠcor, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be great to have your floors look like that of Europe. Or, that family room that gets all that wear and tear can be versatile and beautiful at the same time. Manuel is an artist and has a wonderful eye for color and design. And, it is all custom to your home, so it is exclusive to you.

They do commercial and residential including patios, walkways, retaining walls, foundations, steps, stamped concrete, stamped overlayment, pavers, concrete staining & sealing, flagstone, block and brick.

And, they are offering discounts of about 20%. Now we are talking! After all, with

I recommend that you grab a cup of coffee during this incredible weather and take a sketch pad with you outside to take a look at the areas in your yard that could use a little tune-up before you bring in those wonderful spring flowers. Even if it is just the front porch, you can turn your gray concrete into a grand entrance. And, that area around the pool can be enhanced with a simple stamped overlayment. I know this because we have it in our home and it completely changed the look and now complements the entire house. And, the best part is, it washes off with the hose in seconds.

So Manuel, this snoop is a big fan and welcomes everyone to give you a call so you can help them create their own paradise.

The monthly grapevine gives Manuel Iglesias Concrete five golden bricks for your expert, quality workmanship and devotion to getting the job done on time for a reasonable amount of investment. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

Manuel Iglesias Concrete can be

the most-used items easily accessible.

For a small child, this could include a few favorite toys or a security item. Older kids may not be able to survive without certain electronics or favorite clothing items.

Moving With Children

Moving Babies and Toddlers - Babies and toddlers typically are easy to move, but they also can become confused or scared.

Consider the following tips for them:

Moving is an exciting time full of commotion that can be tough on everyone, including the children. The impact the move will have on kids usually is age-related. Babies, toddlers tend to deal well and young children will have some difficulty with moving, while adolescents may resist and often resent the move. Here are a few timeless tips that may help all families on the move:

â&#x20AC;˘ Try to stick to the established routines like lunchtime and naptime.

Moving Preschoolers and School-Age Children - Kids this age can get excited about moving and may be eager to help.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving with school-age children, consider the following tips:

â&#x20AC;˘ Familiarize the children with the new location by providing them with exciting information about the area. Highlight some of the locationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s points of interest that you think your children will appreciate, like an amusement park or local activities. â&#x20AC;˘ Make sure everyone has packed and clearly labeled their belongings. Keep

â&#x20AC;˘ Spend time together getting to know the new area by driving around. â&#x20AC;˘ Show them their new school and the surrounding area. â&#x20AC;˘ Check into local activities and youth clubs.

â&#x20AC;˘ Pack their rooms last and keep favorite toys and other must-haves close at hand.

â&#x20AC;˘ Clearly explain why youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving.

Children like to be in the loop and talking to them about the move, what it means and what it will entail can help limit moverelated anxiety.

kids receive news of the move as soon as possible. They will need more time to get used to idea and to say good-bye to their friends. Some other tips to consider:

â&#x20AC;˘ Let the children help pack their own rooms and once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the new house, let them help decorate and arrange their new rooms. â&#x20AC;˘ Drive them by their new school or daycare. Also showing them the neighborhood park can give them something to focus on.

â&#x20AC;˘ If your child is a senior in high school, some child-development experts suggest letting the child stay behind to finish the school year. These experts emphasize that this decision only makes sense if your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living conditions will be appropriate and safe.

Moving is an exciting time when families tend to work together to make sure the adventure goes smoothly. Your real estate professional has helped many families move and is a great resource for more information about moving with children.

LOAN GUY LOGIC

by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - when the automated underwriting software is updated, eliminates the need for a new property appraisal.

Underwater Borrowers Will Find Comfort in Harp II This Month!

• Eliminating certain risk-based fees for borrowers who refinance into shorterterm mortgages.

• Extending the end date for HARP until on or before December 31, 2013.

For a few million homeowners, this month will be the beginning of a program that many thought would never come. The Federal Housing Finance Agency recently announced changes to the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) that will allow more borrowers to refinance and take advantage of historically low mortgage rates. These changes to HARP (often referred to as HARP 2.0) are set to rollout this month; Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are currently updating their automated loan underwriting software and should be ready by the middle of March 2012.

Sorry, VA and FHA loans are not eligible for this program.

HARP II borrowers must meet the following criteria: • The mortgage must have been owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on or before May 31, 2009. To see if your loan is eligible, simply go to www. fanniemae.com/loanlookup/ as well as https://ww3.freddiemac.com/corporate/ or send me an email me from the www. loanguylogic.com website.

• The mortgage cannot have been refinanced under HARP previously unless it’s a Fannie Mae loan that was refinanced under HARP from March 2009 to May 2009.

Some enhancements to HARP II include:

• The current LTV ratio must be greater than 80%.

• Removing the 125% loan-to-value (LTV) ceiling on fixed-rate mortgages backed

• Borrowers must be current on their mortgage payments with no late payment

in the previous 12 months to 24 months, depending on the LTV. Owner-occupied, secondary residences and investment properties may be considered for HARP refinancing. There are many HARP refinancing scenarios available. This is a great opportunity for people who always wanted to refinance to a lower rate but couldn’t simply because they owed too much on their mortgage. FHA and VA Borrowers should still check out their refinance choices with my office. Call my office or email me any questions you may have.

HOME

ON THE HOUSE

homeowners, because of what we call the “fear factor”, insist upon its removal.

Removing an Acoustic Ceiling Removing “cottage cheese” ceilings has become an increasingly popular home improvement project. It’s unanimous; acoustic ceilings are out and virtually any other finish is in (smooth, textured, or wood).

The finish that is commonly referred to as “cottage cheese” is not a dairy product, but rather an acoustical ceiling treatment that was used widely in the 60’s, 70’s, and early 80’s. While many builders continue to use it, it’s not nearly as popular as it once was.

The fact that the majority of the acoustic ceilings installed in this country prior to 1978 contained some level of asbestos has contributed to the popularity of acoustic ceiling removal. Notwithstanding the fact that most experts agree that even if the acoustical material does contain asbestos, it is best left alone (so long as the ceiling is in good condition and the material is not “friable” or flaky), many

Before you proceed with the “de-cottage cheesing” of your ceiling, it is a must to have a small sampling of the suspect material tested for asbestos content. A quick call to your local or regional public health agency, Consumer Products Safety Commission, or Environmental Protection Agency is the place to start.

These agencies have helpful consumer publications, which outline project basics.

They also often suggest a list of licensed testing labs that you may contact to have the material tested. There is no way that one can determine if the product contains asbestos with a naked eye examination.

If the material does contain asbestos and you opt to remove it, most states require that the material be removed by a licensed or certified abatement contractor who utilizes sophisticated means and equipment to protect your home and environment. Furthermore, the material must be disposed of in accordance with very strict government regulations.

Professional abatement can be very expensive because of the liability involved with this kind of work. If the material does not contain asbestos, then scraping the ceiling may be something that you might consider trying. Start by dampening the

ceiling with water using a pump garden sprayer. Be careful not to apply too much water or you could cause the drywall tape to peel away from the wallboard.

Once the ceiling is sufficiently damp, the acoustic material should scrape right off with very little effort. Use a drywall taping knife that has a blade between eight and twelve inches to scrape off the material.

After all of the acoustic material has been removed and the ceiling has had time to dry (a day or so), repairs can be made and the new finish can be applied.

Typically, any imperfections in the drywall are repaired with drywall joint compound and the surface is skimmed for a smooth finish, or a texture is applied which will help to disguise any imperfections that may remain.

Now, if this sounds like the kind of home improvement project that might tickle your fancy then we suggest that you give it a try. If on the other hand the only type of cottage cheese that you are willing to deal with is the edible type then we suggest that you consider employing a professional drywall contractor who will know just what to do.
