Keep Looking Up

Oneida County NY, Edition

Published By LISI MERCHANT SOLUTIONS, INC.

What will you be doing August 12 & 13, say from around midnight till dawn? For at least part of that night I plan to be outside watching the Perseid meteor shower. The annual display of falling stars can be a great excuse to gather friends and family close, stay up late and turn your eyes toward the sky.

Publication Franchisee, RMC David P. L isi Corporate Editor Kim L isi

Kim@LifeandHomes.com

“Keep looking up!” It’s been years but I can still hear my late fatherin-law challenging me with those words. It was his classic response David P. Lisi, RMC when we talked about everything from job transition to personal (L to R: Night, David, Parker) challenges. His faith kept him going in tough times and still inspires Real Estate Marketing Consultant me to do the same. Dad’s words have come to mind often in this past 315-865-5845 • David@lifeandhomes.com season. I like knowing he dug deep in tough times to become the man I knew and admired. It makes me determined to do the same - regardless of the condition of the world and the economy. He made it. So can I. So can you.

So, if in the pre-dawn hours of August 13, you happen to find yourself standing in the dark, watching for falling stars, I hope you’ll remember those three little words and take them to heart. Keep looking up.

What Does A Mortgage Cover?

Most mortgages consist of 4 parts:

newsShorts Here are some tips from the moving experts at Penske truck rental (www.PenskeTruckRental. com) for helping your children adapt to a new place, along with some practical moving advice for families: * Open a line of honest communication. It can be hard to tell your kids that they’ll be moving, but making sure that they know they can talk about how they’re feeling about the move is important.

Principal: the repayment of the amount you actually borrowed Interest: payment to the lender for the money you’ve borrowed Homeowner's insurance: a monthly amount, required by most lenders to insure the property owner against loss from fire, smoke, theft, and other hazards Property taxes: the annual city/county taxes assessed on your property, divided by the number of mortgage payments you make in a year.

* Help them say goodbye. Organize a goingaway party for your children and their friends, and work with the parents of their friends to gather contact information so they can keep in touch after you move.

Most loans are for 30 years, although 15-year loans are available, too. During the life of the loan, you’ll pay far more in interest than you will in principal — sometimes two or three times more! Because of the way loans are structured, in the first years you’ll be paying mostly interest in your monthly payments. In the final years, you’ll be paying mostly principal. (Ginniemae.gov)

* Pack a first-day box. Have each child pack a box of things that they will want the first day you move into your new home, like favorite toys, books or stuffed animals. Have the movers pack these boxes last so they are the first thing that is unloaded when you arrive.

$ave On Solvents

If you’re struggling to pay your bills, or if you’ve been hit with an unexpected major expense, it’s critical to act quickly to avoid bankruptcy, according to FindLaw.com, the nation’s leading online source of legal information. Here are some tips from FindLaw.com on what you can do to avoid bankruptcy: * Pay off existing debt as quickly as possible so you can get to a place where you can live within your means. Cut non-essentials such as cable, landline phone service and other subscriptions. * Take a part-time job to raise additional cash or find a new full-time job that offers a higher salary and/or better benefits than your current job. * Realize that going into debt is a choice, not a necessity. Instead of taking out student loans to pay for college, you can work while going to school or save enough before enrolling to pay for a semester of tuition. You could rent instead of buying a home and take public transportation instead of leasing or financing a car.

L i f e and H o m e s

More Americans than ever, including those in the middle class, are experiencing financial hardship, with many living paycheck to paycheck. An estimated 1.5 million Americans declared bankruptcy in 2010, up 9 percent from 2009.

When adults decide to move, it’s often to pursue an exciting opportunity or discover a new place. But for children, moving can be much harder to understand, as often they’ve only known one place as home.

Save time, money and our planet, by recycling.

Pour the solvent into a jar, and after soaking brushes clean, let it sit for a day or two. The paint will settle into a sludge at the bottom, and the remaining thinner on the top will be clear. Carefully pour it off into a second jar, seal, and save for use at another time. Save the sludge jar also, adding to it until it's full. Then take it to hazardouswaste disposal site. Never pour paint or solvents down the drain. (Onthehouse.com)

How to Make

Next time you paint, don't throw solvents away. Using them only once is a waste.

After cleaning paint brushes and tools with paint thinner and mineral spirits, don't get rid of the solvent.

Thinking of hiring help to complete some of those lingering jobs around the house? Before you sign any agreements, talk with some of the remodeler’s former customers. They can help you decide if a particular contractor is right for you.

You may want to ask: • Can I visit your home to see the completed job?

• Were you satisfied with the project?

• Was it completed on time?

• Did the contractor keep you informed about the status of the project, and any problems along the way?

• Were there unexpected costs? If so, what were they?

• Did workers show up on time? Did they clean up after finishing the job?

• Would you recommend the contractor?

• Would you use the contractor again? (FTC.gov) Join the Conversation: Go to www.Facebook.com/ pages/LifeandHomes-CNY to leave your thoughts on this and other articles.

Use Color To Revamp The Look Of Your Home

L i f e and H o m e s

■

Choosing a new look for your home can be a liberating, rejuvenating change that will pay off in the future.

By choosing the right color, you can express yourself, freshen up an old look and increase the value of your home.

According to a recent Cost vs. Value Report conducted by Hanley Wood, LLC, an exterior 4

newsShorts makeover such as installing fiber cement siding can be a great investment, returning more than 83 percent of the project cost upon resale.

Here are several tips to help you increase the value of your home while boosting curb appeal: • Go Green. Color choice can affect the energy efficiency of your home. Darker colors absorb the sun and therefore warm the home, while lighter colors reflect the sun's rays, keeping the home cooler. This is an important consideration depending on the amount of sunlight your home is exposed to on an average day.

• Get Back to Nature. Look to your natural surroundings for inspiration. For example, in a wooded area, vivid greens and browns can help blend the style of a home with its environment.

In an urban setting, bright, eye-catching colors can help to offset the sometimes drab hues associated with city living.

• Go Back in History. If your home is from a certain historical period, play off that history.

Find old pictures of your house or neighborhood to use a historically accurate color scheme.

Try to select shades that were used at the time your home was built. This will add character and a certain amount of authenticity to your own little historical treasure.

• Visualize the Finished Product. The ColorView free online tool at www.certainteed.com lets homeowners picture their home complete with new color. You can even mix and match colors of roofing, siding, trim, rail and deck to choose the perfect style and look.

• Make a Lasting Impression. The darker the hue, the more likely it is to fade over time, especially with homes exposed to direct sunlight.

CertainTeed's Monogram vinyl siding offers consistent quality and variety with over 40 colors and wood-tone blends.

and strength that preside over wood in virtually every surrounding. From aged bark and charcoal black to weathered wood and chestnut, the shingles are available in a wide array of dynamic color options and textures to match your home's unique style.

The Cost of

Buying a Home

by Nancy Niblett

When you are looking for a home to purchase there are a few things that many people forget to consider. These things could become unknown costs to the buyer if they do not remember to keep them in mind.

When looking for a home you might find that a brand new home appeals to you for many reasons.

First of all the model itself will be highly upgraded and cost a lot more than the base price of the home. When upgrading the home you will find a significant difference in price from where you started to where you ended up after choosing things at the builders design center.

Other costs that you need to consider whether it is a new home or one that is built are things like window treatments. If there are none and you want something like wood shutters that will run thousands of dollars after you close on the home. Landscaping the back or front yard will also cost a significant amount of money. How about a swimming pool? What it will cost you to put in compared to what you would be paying

Real Estate Law

Keeping track of the potential costs to both buying a new home or a pre-owned home will help you stay on budget and still get the home you desire.

â–

in

On the other hand, buying a pre-owned home means you will also get a home that you will find there are small or large issues to be repaired right away or down the line sooner than you likely would with a new home. You may still need to add your own personal touches to a pre-owned home which will have some costs after you move in.

Make sure you consider the homeowners association fees, the time and money it will take to travel to work if you choose a home a bit further than originally expected. Does the home have newer or upgraded energy efficient air conditioners or water heaters and windows?

A home will not go up in value more than about half of what it cost to put the pool in yourself so in essence you are paying half the price for a swimming pool. Do not forget about the little things like ceiling fans or paint and additional walkways in the yard, these things also add up to be a good amount of out of pocket expenses.

Three Next-Generation

Kitchen Technologies to Watch

When new technology makes its way into home design, often it portal for innovation, and many of the technologies that we now enters through the kitchen. The heart of the home is also the use throughout our homes were first applied in the kitchen.

Kitchen innovation has come a long way since the exciting days when the rotary hand-mixer replaced the whisk and liberated a generation of homemakers from the labor of beating batter by hand. Here are some new trends and technologies to watch:

mural can be repositioned anywhere in the kitchen and can be reused hundreds of times without losing its adhering qualities. Murals for kitchens can even by customized. Just submit your photo through the website and the company creates a custom mural using your artwork.

Removable, reusable wallpaper

Wireless power

While wallpaper has been gracing American kitchens for generations, those who have shied away from using it there have had good reasons.

Applying wallpaper to an entire kitchen wall is a big design commitment. The labor of cutting around cabinets, cupboards, windows and doors means most homeowners would only tackle wallpapering a kitchen just once. Or, they may have really played it safe by restricting their wallpaper activities to adding a border.

And, even "washable" wallpaper had to stay on the walls, where it would, over time, get splattered and stained.

Electricity is a current and currents require a cord to deliver power from the source to whatever is being powered - right? Not anymore. The emergence of wireless power is replacing traditional cords with electromagnetic fields.

While the science behind wireless power is truly leading-edge stuff, the technology itself has some very down-to-earth, practical applications in the kitchen.

Central New York

A new product, SmartStick by MuralsYourWay. com, makes it easy to add wall designs anywhere you want in your kitchen. The moisture-resistant

While the kitchen is one of our favorite rooms in the house, it can also be a breeding ground for bacteria. Virtually every hand that enters a home makes its way to the kitchen, where touching common surfaces like faucets, light switches and even paper towel holders can spread germs. And when you're cooking, crosscontamination is always a concern.

Convenient and healthful, touch-free technology can help reduce the spread of germs by eliminating the need to actually touch common surfaces.

The technology is already being used in kitchen faucets and lighting. One company has even created a paper towel dispenser using the technology. Watch for innovative designers to find more ways to apply this useful technology throughout the kitchen.

Kitchen design continues to be a launching pad for exciting new technologies. And, today's "innovative" kitchen technology will probably appear routine to future generations. (ARA)

How many times have you had to move cords out of your way when working with a small appliance in your kitchen? Cords are inconvenient at least and dangerous at worst if they get wet or damaged.

Designers and engineers are working on adapting wireless technology for kitchen appliances so you can run a blender without ever having to plug it in.
