With Boughs Simple Holiday

Of Safety

Follow some common sense to keep your Christmas tree fresh and electrical lights safe.

If you decorate with a real tree Make sure it’s fresh. Needles should not be dropping or coming off easily. Try this: take hold of a branch between your thumb and forefinger about 6 inches from the tip. Pull your hand toward you, allowing the branch to slip through your fingers. Needles should not come off.

When you get your tree home Cut a few inches off the bottom of the stem and immediately place the tree in water, even if you do not yet intend to decorate it. Water daily.

Decorate your tree with new led lights Unlike traditional incandescent bulbs or tiny lights, leds do not get hot. They also use 75 to 90 percent less electricity for the same amount of light and come in a wide range of sizes, colors and lighting patterns.

Budget Tips

Americans will have lots to celebrate this holiday season, with unemployment rates at an all-time low and consumer confidence on the rise.

According to The Annual Retail Sales Forecast for the Holiday Season from Deloitte, retailers have their sights on sales of more than $1.1 trillion.

We all get caught up in the spirit of giving, yet the most wonderful time of year is also one of the most stressful financially. But holiday spending doesn’t have to break the bank - a little planning can let you enjoy and be merry.

Here’s a checklist to get started: Budget for big purchases • Credit cards: Divide up the big-ticket items.

Buy them across several off-season months and pay your balance in full.

Carefully inspect each light and the cord Cracked and loose bulbs and frayed or bare wires can shock or start a fire.

• Free shipping: Some online retailers offer free shipping with orders over a certain amount. In late December, some retailers have been known to offer free shipping days with guaranteed delivery by Christmas.

Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords According to the NFPA and the Electrical Safety Foundation International, electrical fires are one of the leading causes of structure fire annually.

• Delayed financing: Look for store credit card promotions that offer low interest rates or delayed financing on large purchases. Pay it down over time without incurring interest.

Always unplug your indoor holiday lights before leaving home or going to bed. Have your outdoor lights on a timer to save energy and reduce the risk of fire. (Tipmont.Org)

• Online tools: Struggling to budget alone?

Explore online services like Nummo, which can help you consolidate your accounts and keep track of your finances.

Save with coupons and deals • Save: There’s always the old-fashioned way of saving a little money each month throughout the year, and then spending what you’ve saved. Or save in advance for the more expensive items.

• Credit cards: Redeem credit card points for gift cards you can use for your holiday shopping; alternatively, offer up specific store gift cards as a present.

• Delayed offers: Retailers are tracking what you do online, and often if you leave something in your shopping cart, the retailer will come back with a reminder followed by a discounted offer.

• In-store shopping days: Black Friday has always been a big shopping day, so you might want to ask your favorite retailers what they have planned ahead of time. Some big-box retailers begin their Black Friday promotions on the Wednesday before, with extended store hours, and might even be open on Thanksgiving. Also, don’t forget to shop local on Small Business Saturday - your favorites stores may have the best bargains yet.

• Online shopping days: Online retailers offer significant discounts on days like Cyber Monday and Small Business Saturday.

Buy now, pay later • Credit card rates: If you are going to apply for a new card, check introductory offers for rates, balance transfer opportunities and delayed financing options.

• Store credit cards: Often when you open a card at checkout, you receive a discount on your entire purchase. Store cards also offer coupons and deals throughout the holiday season if you use your store credit card. That said, make sure not to keep a balance for long, as store credit cards can have higher interest rates.

Holiday spending still causing you stress? The experts at Nummo can help you manage, maintain and improve your financial health for the holidays and beyond.

Garage Door Insulation

Good Idea?

Questions regarding garage insulation often come up this time of year. “Will insulating my garage make it more comfortable?” “Will adding insulation to my garage save me money?” “Is it worth it?

According to Green ID, typically adding insulation to your garage is an unnecessary home upgrade.

Adding insulation to your garage will not save you money on bills. Of course, if you have rooms bordering your garage or above it then that garage wall should be insulated. Insulating the wall that separates the room and the garage will protect that room from being effected by the garage’s temperature.

If insulating your garage is more about comfort and less about savings, then we completely encourage it! If you’re one of those people who enjoys working in the garage then insulating the space might be a good idea. Insulating the garage will help you keep the warm or cool air inside without it escaping and being influenced by the outdoor temperature. Just be aware that that tempered air will escape immediately when the garage door is opened.

Some homeowners will insulate their garages during construction because they know that they’d eventually like to turn it into a bedroom years down the road. This is a fine idea as long as you’re using insulation that will not deplete over time like microfiber or spray foam. (hes.lbl.gov)

newsShorts Protect Your Family from

Carbon Monoxide

Poisoning

Proper installation, operation, and maintenance of fuel-burning appliances in the home is the most important factor in reducing the risk of CO poisoning.

• Have your home heating systems (including chimneys and vents) inspected and serviced annually by a trained service technician.

• Never use portable generators inside homes or garages, even if doors and windows are open. Use generators outside only, far away from the home.

Never bring a charcoal grill into the house for heating or cooking. Do not barbeque in the garage.

• Never use a gas range or oven for heating.

Open the fireplace damper before lighting a fire and keep it open until the ashes are cool. An open damper may help prevent build-up of poisonous gases inside the home.

• Install battery-operated CO alarms or CO alarms with battery backup in your home outside separate sleeping areas.

• Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion.

• If you suspect that you are experiencing CO poisoning, get fresh air immediately. Leave the home and call 911 for assistance. You could lose consciousness and die from CO poisoning if you stay in the home.

Get medical attention immediately and inform medical staff that CO poisoning is suspected.

Call the Fire Department to determine when it is safe to reenter the home. (cpsc.gov)

Slower Growth

Anticipated In Home

Remodeling After several years of solid acceleration, annual growth in national home improvement and repair spending is expected to soften in 2019.

According to the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) released today by the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University.

The LIRA projects that year-over-year increases in residential remodeling expenditures will reach a decade high of 7.7 percent this year and then start to drift downward to 6.6 percent through the third quarter of 2019.

“Rising mortgage interest rates and flat home sales activity around much of the country are expected to pinch otherwise very strong growth in homeowner remodeling spending moving forward,” says Chris Herbert, Managing Director of the Joint Center for Housing Studies. “Low for-sale inventories are presenting a headwind because home sales tend to spur investments in remodeling and repair both before a sale and in the years following.”

“Even so, many other remodeling market indicators including home prices, permit activity, and retail sales of building materials continue to strengthen and will support above-average gains in spending next year,” says Abbe Will, Associate Project Director in the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center. “Through the third quarter of 2019, annual expenditures for residential improvements and repairs by homeowners is still expected to grow to over $350 billion nationally.” (jchs.harvard.edu)

Top Exterior Trends to Inspire

Your 2019

Home Projects Thinking of adding a deck? How about replacing the tired, worn siding on your house? Now that the weather is colder, it’s the perfect time to curl up with a hot beverage and start planning your 2019 home projects so you can nail the budget and settle on the look you’re after.

“Updating your home’s exterior can make an older home look more modern, but it can also make a new build feel warmer and more established,” says Kristine Swint, an in-house design expert at Royal Building Products.

“Whether you plan to sell, or stay and enjoy your new features, anything you do to update the exterior can maximize the value of your home.”

Swint shares these insights and tips that will help you get inspired and plan your exterior home projects in 2019..

Think “cool neutrals” for the color story When someone suggests a neutral tone for your exterior, do you think boring beige and tepid taupe? When it comes to vinyl siding, you may be pleasantly surprised to discover there’s a broad range of color and style choices to meet your taste and design preferences, including soft grays, bolder mid-tone blues and warm earth-toned terra cottas.

“Going neutral no longer means sacrificing style, or having your house look like all the others on the block,” Swint says. “Today’s neutrals convey warmth, comfort and closeness to nature - all traits we desire in a home.”

If you need help planning your home’s new

look, the HomePlay design tool from Royal Building Products lets you experiment with different colors and siding profiles. To get started, visit HomePlaybyRoyal.com.

Bring the inside out If you’ve decided this year is the year to add a deck or a patio, don’t settle for an uninspired open-air platform. Today’s designers are remaking the deck concept altogether by bringing traditionally “indoor” amenities outside. Rugs, arbors and high-design furniture will turn your deck into an outdoor living room.

By adding a fire pit, portable furnace or heater, you and your family can spend time on the deck year-round. For a finishing touch, a floorto-ceiling sliding glass door not only brings in more sunlight and natural views, it creates a seamless transition between inside and outside.

But a great deck starts with high-quality materials, because the last thing you want is to spend excessive time and money on routine maintenance. Instead of using natural wood, opt for a premium composite decking, such as Zuri Premium Decking, that combines the natural beauty of exotic hardwood with the unsurpassed and exceptionally lowmaintenance requirements of composite materials. If you’re interested in learning more, visit zuri.royalbuildingproducts.com.

Make relaxation a top priority Home is where the heart is, right? So it makes perfect sense to make it into a space where selfcare is a priority. That’s why wellness and mindfulness have become huge influences in interior and exterior spaces, Swint says. To turn your backyard into a retreat space, consider amenities like water features, zen gardens or even a shaded reading nook.

Reframe the possibilities of your shed Garages and sheds can be more than a storage space for your lawnmower and tools. These four walls hold many other possibilities, and homeowners have come up with creative, freetime-oriented uses for these simple backyard structures. The options are only limited by your imagination: backyard bar, outdoor shower, or the classic she-shed or man cave. You can even make it into a home office for those telecommuting days. To dress up a plain shed, Swint says, add siding with complementary trim, windows (and flower boxes), finished with a sleek glass door.

Now that you have plenty of inspiration to transform your home’s exterior into a more inviting space, explore your options and visit royalbuildingproducts.com. (BPT)
