A unique combination of three land parcels that because of the plottage and location gives any developer a golden opportunity to expand on a pre-approved City/County commercial project with various scenarios for retail shopping, restaurants, professional offices, apartments and out lots. Extremely well engineered plans completed for drainage, parking, and ingress / egress from West Third Street and Cory Lane. This is a rare opportunity located between I-69 exit and near downtown. Location, Zoning and address Plans available for review. This listing currently contains 3 parcels with three different addresses. The main address is listed but the listing includes 2 separate parcels on Cory Ln making the ingress and egress to the property much easier considering W. 3rd St. is a one way going East.

DIY

7 Home Hacks That Make Maintenance Easier These tricks make tackling prickly household chores easier.

No one ever said maintenance had to be fun. But can’t it be just a little bit easier? Here are seven home hacks to take a bit of the drudgery out of your honey-do list: #1 Tuck Chalk in Your Toolbox to Stop Rust You can keep the metal tools and hardware in your toolbox rust-free with blackboard chalk. How so? Chalk is a moisturesucking material that traps dampness. When you place several pieces throughout your toolbox, its porous nature will protect items prone to rusting. Bonus tip: Got a musty closet? Fill up a small muslin or cheesecloth bag with chalk and then hang it inside. It will absorb the dampness and stinky odor. #2 Spray Your Mower’s Blades to Keep Clippings From Sticking If you have a lawn, mowing is one of those must-do drudgeries. Fortunately, cooking spray can make the chore problemfree. When applied to a mower’s undercarriage and blades, it can help prevent grass clippings from sticking. Bonus tip: You can prevent ice from building up in your freezer with cooking spray. Just spray a thick layer over spots prone to icing, and let it sit for five minutes. Afterward, use a towel to wipe up the oil. #3 Toss in a Tennis Ball to Clean Your Pool Water Suntan lotions, moisturizers, and body oils will leave a greasy slick on pool water. To clean, toss in a fresh tennis ball. Its fuzzy surface will soak up the oils your guests left behind. Bonus tip: A tennis ball will buff scuff marks off floors. To avoid stooping while cleaning, cut an X into the ball and place on the end of a mop or broom handle. #4 Use Painter’s Tape for a Perfect Caulk Job To many DIYers (myself included), applying caulk in clean, straight lines seems like an impossible task. But it’s actually very easy if you use painter’s tape. You’ll need to thoroughly clean the area you’re caulking first. When it’s dry, apply medium adhesion painter’s tape, such as Frog Tape, above and below the area you’ll be caulking and then caulk. Be sure to peel off the tape while the caulk is still wet. #5 Grab a Makeup Sponge to Repair Drywall Holes Typically mesh or paper tape is used to fill small holes in drywall. But a cosmetic sponge will get the job done, too. Just stuff it into the hole (you may need to cut it down to size) and spackle. You’ll find the entire tutorial here. Bonus tip: A little baking soda added to a dollop of strong, fast-acting glue, such as Krazy Glue, will fix a small wall crack. When the mixture is dry, it forms a hard plastic that can easily be sanded down to a smooth surface. #6 Use Your Drill to Clean a Grimy Tub It takes a lot of elbow grease to deep clean a dirty bathtub — unless you use a cordless drill with a foam ball polishing attachment (found in the automotive section of most big box stores). Attachments like these were designed to be tough on grime without scratching surfaces. Bonus tip: Another automotive store item that saves cleaning time is rain repellent windshield sealant. Apply it to clean glass shower doors to reduce soap scum buildup. #7 Apply Nail Polish to Fill a Hole in Your Window Found a tiny hole in your glass window? Repair it with clear nail polish. Apply a coat then wait for it dry. Repeat those steps until the layers of clear nail polish are flush with the glass surface. Bonus tip: Clear nail polish can also fix torn window screens. You’ll need to apply multiple layers until you create a substantial barrier. DEIRDRE SULLIVAN is an NYC-based writer who’s obsessed with maximizing every inch of her urban dwelling.

Guilty of buying cheap stuff? Pack-ratting? Here’s how to change your ways. By JAMIE WIEBE

3. COMPULSIVELY BUYING BARGAINS

A date with a glass of wine and your favorite curry dish while watching the latest season of “Orange Is the New Black” may seem like the perfect way to spend your evening — until you hear something alive in that leaning tower of plates you’ve been ignoring all week.

Finding a deal feels so good, but cheaper isn’t always better. In fact, budget buys might cost you more in the long run. For instance, dollar paintbrushes will leave annoying streaks, requiring a costly re-do.

Why, oh why, do you keep procrastinating dish cleanup night after night?!

And when it comes to appliances, permit a little splurge — especially if selling your home is on the horizon.

Don’t beat yourself up too much. Bad habits are just way easier to maintain than good ones. They’re “the opposite of what makes you happy. They’re what make you miserable,” says M.J. Ryan, author of “Habit Changers: 81 GameChanging Mantras to Mindfully Realize Your Goals.” Especially when they cost you money.

“I always err with going for high-quality appliances,” Merlo says. “There is a noticeable difference between the cheapest and next cheapest models. And buyers want to see stainless steel.”

Here are 7 bad habits to break now for a happier you and a fatter bank account:

You get a gold star for always remembering to start your dishwasher before bed, right? Clean dishes every morning! Go you! Yeah, about that: Your dishwasher wastes water unless it’s completely full.

1. SHOWERING WITHOUT PRECAUTIONS Spending 20 minutes in the steam may be good for your pores, but it’s also great for mold and mildew. Run the exhaust fan while you’re singing in the shower, squeegee the walls afterward, and scrub that grout every few months. “Once you let the grout go, it gets worse and worse, and harder and harder to maintain,” says Mylène Merlo, a REALTOR® in San Diego. Grungy grout is a big turnoff for buyers. And redoing it is a pain and expensive to hire out. 2. KEEPING OUT THE SUN Shutting your shades on winter days might seem smart. More insulation from the chilly weather, right? Your energy bill disagrees. A sunny window can warm your home and lower your heating costs. And as a bonus, you could see a decrease in seasonal depression. But your original idea wasn’t totally wrong. Closing those blinds at night can keep your home toasty.

4. RUNNING A HALF-FULL DISHWASHER

Dishwashers do save more water than washing by hand (just try telling that to your mom), but most machines use the same amount of water regardless of how many plates you’ve stuffed inside, making a half-empty cycle significantly less efficient. For a household of one or two, once a day can be overkill. 5. MEGA-MULCHING A “tree volcano” might sound like a grand ol’ time, but it’s actually damaging your foliage. Too much mulch suffocates your tree, causing root rot and welcoming invasive insects. Your precious trees really are precious. Each one can add $2,000 or more to your home’s value while saving on energy costs. Protect your precious trees by packing mulch loosely, letting water filter properly toward the

HOME finder.org Feature trunk. 6. GOING ON A REMODELING RAMPAGE

Don’t break out the sledgehammer for a demo three weeks after moving in unless your home needs serious, obvious work. Give yourself time to understand the home’s quirks before renovating.

“You don’t know what your needs are when you first move into a home,” says Merlo. “You should live there for at least six months to figure out the space you need. If you do too much too soon, you’ll regret it.”

If you are already advertising in Homefinder.org, you may qualify for reduced rates in directory.

For instance, you could dump $15,000 into a kitchen remodel — only to realize the original layout would have worked better for holiday parties. Or you paint a room your favorite color, Wild Plum, only to realize the natural light in the room makes it look more like Rotten Plum. Whoops.

Call 812-325-1271 or email pubs@homefinder.org for more information.

7. PACKRATTING You know clutter is bad, but you just… can’t… help it. You had to put that unused exercise bike in the spare room instead of by the road as a freebie because what if? Plus, there’s so much in there already, and decluttering seems like such an insurmountable goal — even though every jam-packed square foot is space you can’t enjoy. If the task seems impossible, Ryan recommends starting small. “Do one small thing,” she says. “Clean out a drawer or reorganize your counter, and then you feel the satisfaction of having done it. It becomes easier to do the next small thing.” Just remember: Breaking habits takes time and a lot of slip-ups. “It’s important to be kind to ourselves when we blow it,” Ryan says. “When we create new habits, we’re building new wiring, but it’s not like the old wiring disappears. Don’t turn goof-ups into give-ups.”

9 Ah-Ha Hacks the Pros Use to Max Out Bathroom Space Bathroom storage can be awfully tight. Bust it out with these ideas.

You fantasize about a bathroom big enough for hot yoga after a steamy shower — a space that can be your personal refuge from the hurly-burly of your house (your life!). Instead, you’ve got a bath cluttered with all your toiletries right out there in plain view for all your guests to judge, umm, see. It’s like a metaphor for your life; so cramped, you dread trying to blow out your hair tomorrow. You need space. Here’s how to gain some in your packed bath (collected from the pros who do it for a living). #1 Hang Shelves in Unusual Places Being savvy about the type of shelf you choose (think picture ledge instead of bookshelf) and where you hang it (like in that dead wall space between your sink and mirror) can make all the difference in a teeny bathroom (now you’ve got a toothbrushing station — and more sink space!).Or go big. And UP. A wide shelf above your bathroom door is instant storage for your vacation beach towels. #2 Go Into the Walls for Even More Shelves Feeling cramped often leads to daydreams of taking a mallet to those close-together walls, “Fixer Upper”-style. So do it, really. You’d be amazed how much storage space hides behind bathroom walls between studs that stand 16 inches apart.Knock out some drywall (just be sure to check for electrical and plumbing lines first!), then throw in some shelves between the studs. Keep it open if you’re storing towels or nice-looking bottles of lotion there, or add a door for a little more discretion. #3 Add Storage to Your Pedestal Sink Just because your pedestal sink came with the same amount of storage as your yoga pants doesn’t mean there’s no potential there. You can buy (or build, if you’ve got the DIY bug) cabinets that wrap around the base and, literally, create storage out of thin air. There are lots of options, like Hammacher Schlemmer’s fancy pedestal cabinet that’s priced at $130 and comes with two shelves, tilt-out drawer, and even a magazine rack. Another DIY solution: Dress your pedestal with a skirt that hides whatever you stuff behind it. It can even be a no-needle, no-sew project. Just use heavy, double-sided tape to attach and hem it. #4 Put Part of Your Toilet in the Wall (for Real!) Unless you’re raising sea creatures in your toilet tank (just kidding! Don’t do that!), your large, porcelain cube is eating up valuable space. Consider a wall-hung toilet (starting at $400). It’s minimalist-chic, and frees up floor space because the whole thing sits closer to the wall. Since the tank and plumbing hide behind the wall, be sure to leave an access panel to save yourself grief down the road. Tip: A towel bar, or even some light shelving, can be mounted on the access panel for added storage where your toilet tank used to be. #5 Get the Most Streamlined Faucet You Can Itty-bitty bathrooms are perfect for simple, single-handle faucets that save space on your sink surround. Sure, it’s just a few square inches you’ll save, but that’s valuable bathroom real estate when you’re in the middle of trying that new updo, brushing your teeth, and doing some self-maintenance. #6 Hide Toiletries in Hanging Baskets Hangables give even ugly bottles and brushes some style, as well as a home. Most baskets are light enough to mount to the wall using a 75-pound picture hook hammered into a stud (we love those studs!). Or, install an extra towel bar — or the infamous Ikea storage rails — and attach baskets and buckets via S-hooks. #7 Get a Spacious Feeling With a Window If your dark, dank bathroom has no window, and it’s on an exterior wall, add one! It’ll reboot your mornings like nothing else. It’s not the cheapest option (about $2,100 installed). But it’s sooooo worth it to get those sunny rays. Because your bathroom will just feel bigger. And it’ll let fresh air in, which puts the brakes on mold and mildew. Pick a vinyl window, which won’t rot like wood will (plus vinyl is usually cheaper). #8 Mount a Second Shower Rod (or Double Rod) If your shower surround is minimalist in all the wrong ways, you know the misery of stashing bottles and razors and soap in tiny, wet, slippery corners. But no law says a shower can only have one rod. If you hang a second tension rod inside the shower and add some Shooks, you can turn your shower into a hanging storage jungle with buckets and caddies. Tip: You can also buy a double shower rod to do the same thing — or, put the shower curtain on the inside rod and use the outside one to hang towels. #9 Hack Some Suction Cup Hooks For something super easy, super quick that’ll give you some instant relief in your cramped bathroom, try suction hooks, which you can hack with elastic hair ties and mount to shower walls. Slip razors, shampoo, conditioner through the ties, which will corral the usual shower mess.
