WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?
Let the Fun Begin! Here it is, the end of August with the next big holiday right around the corner. The beautiful farmlands are finishing up with the row crops and getting ready to harvest this year’s nuts, however, you can still get those wonderful farm fresh fruits at the local Harvestime fruit stands. What a great time to look in on a business that can get your home ready for company to enjoy those great veggies. SC Construction is your one stop place to find everything you need to transform your patio into the place your guests will head for upon arrival. With our incredible summers of 100+ degrees and amazing warm nights, East Contra Costa County residents can enjoy the great outdoors throughout the season, however, if you are like me, you are looking for the shade during most of those hot scorching days. Steve Conway, owner of SC Construction, has been in business for 38 years
delivering quality service as he helps bring the customers vision to life. Not only is his showroom in Modesto amazing because you can actually see the quality of the products while sharing your ideas of what would work best for your home, but the website actually takes you on a virtual tour of completed projects right from your own home.
And, for another 10 points, you can get a free estimate and they have financing. Now you have to get in your car and go see the showroom, it is amazing. Steve proudly states “where integrity meets the customer” in has marketing and after snooping SC, I can share with you his integrity is only outweighed by his craftsmanship and customer service.
SC offers every kind of patio cover and enclosure you can imagine, including Four Seasons BP, Amerimax BP, Four Season Sunrooms and Patio Rooms, Equinox Louvered Covers, Canvas Retractable Awnings and Allumawood Covers. I told you they had it all.
So Steve and the entire crew at SC, this secret shopper gives you ten beautiful sunsets for creating some of the most beautiful home additions where memories can be made. Can’t wait to build our “Life Room.”
I had actually never seen the “Life Room” before and downloaded the information for my husband to consider for our backyard. Please go to their website and check this out, it is that one idea that will transform “your home” into the place to be. With a push of a button, the screens come down on all sides, the framework has a cooling system that can drop the temperature up to 40 degrees, you can install advanced lighting, a super surround sound and wait for it, a Hollywood size projection TV. Now you have to go to the website and see the video. Did I mention that is great for your allergies because it keeps the pollen out!
Who will be snooped next? It could be you!
SC Construction can be reached at 925-809-5035 or on the web at www. scconstruction.biz.

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH
Kidney Disease and Oral Health Kidneys perform extremely important functions in the body. They expel waste like urea, help produce red blood cells, regulate blood pressure and regulate calcium, phosphate and vitamin D in the body. Kidney disease often does not exhibit any symptoms until it is in the advanced stages. The dentist can help detect early warning signs by evaluating patients for high blood pressure and determining whether patients have a history of heart and kidney disease. If the early signs are present the patient can be referred to their physician as early treatment can reduce the likelihood of End Stage Renal Disease or ESRD from developing. Kidney disease is a progressively debilitating condition that leads to ESRD in which the kidneys cease to support daily bodily function requiring either dialysis or a kidney transplant. The progression to kidney failure
may take as long as 10 to 20 years. Diabetes and High blood pressure are the most common causes of ESRD in the United States. More than 871,000 people receive treatment for kidney disease. Aging population as well as the increased prevalence of obesity, diabetes and hypertension have contributed to rapid increase in ESRD. Cardiovascular disease associated with ESRD is the most frequent cause of death among older adults.
periodontal health regularly with the dentist is important, as both tends to worsen as kidney disease progresses.
Kidney failure may cause a variety of changes in the mouth like paleness of the tissue in the mouth, breath that smells like ammonia, mouth ulcers and dryness in the mouth. Patients may experience increased formation of plaque and calculus, jaw tumors and delayed healing. Patients undergoing dialysis take blood thinners so they need to let the dentist know about it as they can have excessive bleeding if certain dental procedures are performed. Patients undergoing dialysis may need to take antibiotics prior to their dental appointments. Certain medications like antibiotics and pain medication should not be taken in patients with kidney disease. In addition, to all these precautions, caries prevention and monitoring gum and

Manuel Iglesias Concrete The Iglesias family has been doing concrete work for many years. Licensed since 2006 and with 40+ years of experience, Manuel Iglesias decided to start his own business, Manuel Iglesias Concrete. Manuel says he loves the industry, mainly because he grew up doing it. In addition, “Being able to experience a trade where I can look back and see the art & beauty of the work is very important to me. Everywhere I look, I can see something I’ve worked on,” says Manuel. Whatever your concrete needs are, Manuel Iglesias Concrete can build your dreams. From patios, walkways, retaining walls and foundations to stamped concrete, steps, brick and flagstone overlay, concrete staining & sealing, Manuel Iglesias will create your vision beautifully. They listen to what their customers want in a design and also specialize in designing concrete if the client isn’t exactly sure what they want. In addition, they take advantage of all seminars and training classes to continually learn more about their industry and anything that will help them keep up with the changing field and hardscape designs. Beyond your home you can see some of their work in the city Public Works foundations, curbs and gutters.
Laurie Iglesias, Manuel’s wife, runs the office and tells us about a small job they had last year where the client purchased a gazebo and needed a small octagon shaped pad for it. They couldn’t afford much, so Manuel was able to help them out with cost and came up with a beautiful leaf design that turned into a gorgeous patio for their gazebo. “It made the client very happy and that is what I love most about the work my husband does,” says Laurie. Testimonials “Manuel, Greg and their crew went above and beyond in delivering the foundation we needed. My framer has told me over and over that our slab is one of the truest he’s built on. Manuel has built a successful and professional business by being honest, straight forward and friendly. I recommend you talk to Manuel if you’re looking for a concrete contractor.”
“From the very beginning of the process to the very end these guys were absolutely the best! I delayed the bid for 6-8 months, no problem. Everyone on the crew from the foreman to guys pushing wheel barrels was professional and polite. Each day they cleaned up the site and swept the driveway and work area. The final product was just outstanding!! I will definitely recommend and use this company again.” Christopher B., Brentwood “We have had Manuel out to the house four times. His crew works neatly and efficiently. Manuel listened to what we wanted and added some design features of his own to make the work unique. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a new patio to a new fence.” Ed H., Brentwood, CA
Kevin P., Moraga “When faced with having a great amount of cement work to be done, including a driveway, we did a fair amount of research and we knew we placed our trust in the right hands with Manuel Iglesias. The work was completed better than expected and the result was a very high quality, detailed and very artistic job. We love it and everyone has only positive things to say about it.” O. & H., Oakley

if your home has a power outage or your furnace malfunctions.
ON THE HOUSE
4 Ways To Prep Your Home For Winter When you start feeling those first hints of winter, the instinct to get ready kicks in. You may dig out your car’s snow brush, blanket, shovel and winter survival kit and place them in the trunk of your car. The winter coats and boots come out of storage, and you may pick up some extra mittens at the store. We do these things to protect ourselves from the cold when we’re out and about. But what do you do to protect your house against the hazards of winter? If you don’t take time for maintenance and winterization now, you can end up paying for it later, whether it’s in the form of higher energy bills, frozen pipes or fixing a broken furnace. Here are four problems that can hit home during the winter and what you can do to ward them off. Sky-high energy bills: Do your electric bills rise during the wintertime? Heating your home accounts for about half of your home’s energy bills, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Combat the cold by sealing off any cracks or gaps with caulk and inspect entrances for worn or broken weatherstripping. Schedule a furnace inspection tuneup with an HVAC contractor and consider installing a smarter thermostat. Learning thermostats, such as Nest, can remember your favorite temperatures, turning itself down when you leave for work, as well as returning to your favorite temp at the end of the day. Water leaks: We take our pipes for granted, but we don’t always anticipate what can go wrong when we’re not home. According to the Insurance Information Institute, water damage accounts for half of all property damage claims. Add winter’s freezing temperatures to the mix, and you can end up with a big problem
For extra peace of mind, there’s now a leak and flood protection system you can purchase that shuts off your water main’s supply when it detects leaks — and sends an alert right to your smart device. LeakSmart installs directly to your home’s main water supply, and wireless sensors placed around the house can detect a leak or temperature changes and shut down the whole house water supply within five seconds. And when the LeakSmart Hub is powered by a battery back-up, the system will still work if the power and internet go out, so you don’t have to worry about coming home to water damage. The system can work on its own or be integrated with smart home systems. If you’re interested in learning more about how this smart device can protect your home, visit LeakSmart.com. Power outages: When a winter storm hits, the ice and wind can break power lines and interrupt the supply of electricity to our homes. It’s not uncommon for some outages to last for days, which is why it’s always smart to be prepared.
Luckily, a little work upfront can go a long way toward preventing ice dams and the damage they can cause. First, make sure the gutters and downspouts are clear of leaves and other yard debris, so the snowmelt has a place to go. Next, poke your head into the crawlspace of your attic and see if the insulation layer is still thick enough to keep the heat from escaping through the roof. While you’re up there, look for gaps and leaks. Finally, this is a good time to invest in a simple snow rake, so you can easily remove wet, heavy snow from your roof before the dams can start forming. Now that you know the most common winter hazards that can hit home, you can take the steps to protect your investment and keep your family comfortable and safe.
Before winter hits, make certain your generator or other backup power source has ample fuel and is in good working order. Keep some basic supplies at the ready, so you can keep your family comfortable. Make sure you have extra blankets, stocking caps, batteries and fully charged power banks for your mobile phones. It’s also good to have a few gallons of fresh water and some cans of ready-to-eat chili and stew. If you have a camp stove, keep it in an easy-to-reach place, along with a fuel supply. Ice dams: Another thing to watch for in the winter are pools of water forming on your roof. These can be caused by ridges

A Daughter Tries to Help Her Mom When preparing estate planning documents for our clients, we always prepare a Durable Power of Attorney for finances. However, I have recently discovered that many clients do not really understand under what circumstances the Durable Power of Attorney for finances is used. The Problem: Dad passed away. Mom has been happily living alone for years. However, Mom is now 90 years old and is starting to have minor memory issues. Daughter offers to help Mom and Mom gratefully accepts. Mom has already appointed Daughter to serve as Successor Trustee of Mom’s Revocable Living Trust. Mom has also appointed Daughter to serve as her agent under the Durable Power of Attorney for finances. Daughter goes to the bank alone with Mom’s Revocable Living Trust and Durable Power of Attorney for finances. Bank Representative denies Daughter access to
PATRICK MCCARRAN
Is The American Dream A Thing Of The Past? The WHY you should own is relatively easy. It seems like every day there are news reports of someone displaced by high rents or the building is sold to a new owner and they are forced to move. Rents are at a high and with the strong resistance to building they will continue to rise and be unpredictable, when you own you know what the payments will be and it is your home not the landlord to dictate rules. Mortgage interest will most likely remain the largest deduction for the middle class. Mortgage interest rates remain historically low and there is a fair amount of inventory from which to choose. Long-term home ownership continues to be one of the best ways for the typical American to build wealth. So what’s holding you back? Down Payment? Many people are intimidated by the widely publicized 20% down-

Mom’s bank account stating that the account is owned by Mom’s Revocable Living Trust. Bank Representative informs Daughter that under the terms of Mom’s Revocable Living Trust, Daughter can only access Mom’s accounts after Mom has been formally declared incompetent by a doctor. (Jeez! What a nightmare!)
for finances allows your appointed agent to control your Non-Trust assets. Unless specific language is included, your Durable Power of Attorney cannot be used to manage Trust assets. (Note: You should also carefully read your Durable Power of Attorney to determine when it becomes effective.)
Daughter next tries to access Mom’s accounts using the Durable Power of Attorney for finances. Bank Representative again denies Daughter access because the Durable Power of Attorney does not specifically allow Daughter to control Trust assets.
When establishing your Revocable Living Trust, you need to understand what assets are in your Revocable Living Trust. If you want assistance managing your Trust assets prior to incapacity, you should consider appointing a Co-Trustee to help. If you want assistance managing your Non-Trust assets prior to incapacity, your Durable Power of Attorney needs to include specific language.
Daughter is beyond frustrated and comes to our office for help. The Solution: If Daughter needs to access Mom’s Trust assets, Mom can appoint Daughter as CoTrustee. Once appointed as Co-Trustee, Daughter can control and manage Mom’s Trust assets even without a formal incapacity declaration from a doctor. If Daughter needs to help Mom manage her Non-Trust assets (IRAs/annuities/life insurance policies), Daughter may be able to use the Durable Power of Attorney. The Take-Away: In general, the Durable Power of Attorney
payment requirement. They don’t realize that there are many federal programs and other methods designed to help home buyers, and even those who have lost their homes to foreclosure. For example, there are conventional loans available with as little as 3% down payment and the FHA has similar programs that require 3.5 percent down payment. If you qualify there are a number of programs and grants that can help with the down payment. With a seller credit for closing costs I have put buyers into a home for as little as $1500 out of pocket. For veterans, the VA program has no-down-payment loans available for qualifying military members and veterans that can close with almost no out of pocket money. Why wait? What’s the worst that could happen if you buy a home now? You’ve already seen it, the 2007 mortgage crisis. It will take generations, if ever, before the government lets the banking systems get that far out of hand again. It is far more likely that home prices will steadily climb as they have been. Americans are getting back to work and leading the global economy out of stagnation. So don’t be blinded to the future by your past experiences. The American population will

continue to grow and build families of all types, creating more demand for housing. Don’t view your home as a trading vehicle or a one-way-up investment. Instead, look at the home-ownership benefits that are mostly forgotten by today’s potential home buyers -- the chance to build equity (instead of throwing rent down the drain) and the opportunity to customize your own environment. That’s what has always motivated Americans to own their own home. And it isn’t going to change in the long run. Grab the American Dream now. Start building wealth and stability.
