An Easy Furniture Fix - Without Calling an Expert

Average Listing Price (last 12 months)

Steam out a dent A dent on a wooden surface can often be fixed by swelling the compressed wood fibers back to their normal size using moisture and heat. Prick the varnish finish of the dented area several times with a fine pin so that moisture can penetrate into the wood. Then cover the dent with a pad of wet cloth, put a metal bottle cap on top of the pad to spread the heat, and apply a clothing iron on a high setting for a few minutes. Be careful not to scorch the finish. Afterward, when the wood is completely dry, fill the pinholes with a thin coat of fresh varnish.

Home Improvements and Which Ones to Do

Average Listing Price (last 12 months)

Whether you plan to sell in the near future, or just want to improve the value of your home, here is one low cost improvement you should consider.

Attack the list of maintenance jobs you have been meaning to get to. Properly maintaining your home means keeping minor jobs minor, rather than letting them get larger, and more costly.

Homes that aren't properly maintained lose value, especially in today's real estate market where the buyers now clearly have the upper hand. So, where should you begin? Tackle the obvious maintenance issues first - the cracked stair, the circuit breaker that trips several times a week, the leaky roof. Maintenance issues such as these are safety issues, and can lead to greater problems.

Be sure to take care of both the outside and inside jobs.

Monthly Trivia articles

Days on Market (last 12 months)

June Summer comes to the northern hemisphere in June with the Summer solstice around June 21, just a few days after Father's day. The solstice also marks the "longest day of the year". Of course, the day isn't any longer than normal, just the time between sunrise and sunset.

June is named after Juno, the Queen of the Roman Gods. She is also the sister/wife of the chief Roman god Jupiter and the mother of Mars and Vulcan.

The birth flower for June is the Rose or Honeysuckle. The modern birthstone is Pearl (happiness, beauty, purity and modesty) or Moonstone (tender passion, good fortune and balance) and the traditional birthstone is Alexandrite (joy, confidence and balance).
