avoid serious problems in the future. Damp carpeting, loose tiles, peeling linoleum and cupping wood flooring are common signs of wet subflooring. This is usually due to a saturated foundation. Broken water lines, bad ventilation and faulty landscaping can cause subfloor flooding. Call a pro immediately if you notice any of these signs. Clogged gutters are also a common source of foundation-related water damage – including saturation. Sticks, leaves and other debris can

fill your gutters and cause water to overflow and gather near the base of your home. Over time, this water will seep into the ground and damage your foundation. You can avoid clogged gutters with a simple seasonal cleaning. Stains and mold growth are also signs of water damage. These problems can occur anywhere in your home, but they are most common in areas that experience regular moisture. Oftentimes, mold and stains are due to leaking

pipes or poor ventilation. Attic leaks can also cause stains and mold growth in your home. Call a professional if you notice any of these problems. A pro will safely assess the problem and provide an appropriate

solution. You can prevent some mold and stains by regularly inspecting the pipes around your home. Check under your bathroom and kitchen sinks, as well as in your basement. And be sure to address any leaks.

cumulated dust on their leaves not only looks bad, it blocks their sunlight. Water correctly. Not all plants need the same amount of water and humidity. Watch out for drafts. Keep your plants from cold drafty doors and windows, and from heat vents.

Add fertilizer. Plants need to eat, too. Watch for insects or disease. Check for early signs, so the critters don’t spread to other plants in your house. Repot when necessary. If your plants grow, they are going to need bigger houses.

Renewed April Fools’ prank urged homeowners to unplug phones, internet Millions of owners are again being told to disconnect their telephones and/or internet connections for special maintenance. The requests are new twists on old April Fools’ Day gags. DEAR MR. MYERS: I recently received an email from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, telling me to unplug my home’s telephones and internet connection for 24 hours beginning at 12:01 a.m. on April 1. The letter states that the FCC will use the time to launch “cyber spiders” to “clean out old emails and spam to make the World Wide Web run more efficiently.” Is this a legitimate request, or is it a prank? ANSWER: If the fact that your suggested shutdown date is April 1 didn’t set off any bells in your brain, let me ring them for you: IT’S APRIL FOOLS’ DAY. The FCC doesn’t have any so-called cyber spiders, and it couldn’t use them without your written permission even if it did. I wrote about this misguided prank three or four years ago, although most of the emails or letters

unpacking and fixing the place up that there’s no way we’ll be able to file our federal income-tax return by this month’s deadline. How can we ask for an extension? ANSWER: It’s easy. Simply fill out Internal Revenue Service Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, by the April 17 deadline. The typical deadline would be on the 15th, but that’s a Sunday. The Internal Revenue Service will be closed that day and also on Monday, April 16, in observance of Emancipation Day. You can get Form 4868 by calling

the agency (800829-3676) or by downloading it from www.irs.gov. It will provide a six-month extension to file your federal return, though you will have to pay interest on any taxes that you may owe. *** DEAR MR. MYERS: I am 79 years old and my husband is 81. We like the idea of forming the type of basic living trust that you recently wrote about so that our home and other assets could quickly pass to our daughter instead of going through the expensive probate process after we die. Would each of us have to form an

individual trust, or would only one be OK? ANSWER: One would be enough. The two of you would form the trust as “co-trustees,” which would allow both of you to control your jointly owned property while both of you are alive. When one dies, the deceased’s half-interest in the home and other assets would pass to the surviving co-trustee. And when the survivor later dies, the trust’s property would quickly and automatically pass to your daughter instead of going through costly and time-consuming probate proceedings. Talk to an estate planner or lawyer for details.

Options for erosion control in shady areas Tall fescue, our “go to” turfgrass for shade in this region, is often times a less than ideal solution for erosion control. Extreme shade, lack of topsoil, high humidity, and hot summers all pose problems for this species. Consider the following options if erosion is an issue in your own landscape, especially in situations where taller plant material can be adapted for use on the site. Liriope (monkey grass) is a great plant. However, it is so common that we often overlook its value for this situation. Once the plant matures, it forms a very dense mat highly resistant to erosion. While primarily planted for its foliage, Liriope does have a nice purple flower spike to add some interest to shady areas. Mondograss is a very

KEITH REED similar plant, only smaller in size, making it more expensive and slower to establish. Inland sea oats is another common plant that is often overlooked for this use. Inland sea oats is a bunch forming native grass with a very showy seedhead that is valued for its use in winter and cut-flower arrangements. The flat seedheads like to dance around in the wind and are quite attractive. If you have spent any time wandering along our area creeks, you have probably seen this plant. Ajuga, also called carpetweed or bu-

gleweed, is a low growing broadleaf plant. Ajuga has a very showy purple flower spike. It is available in many cultivars with a wide range of leaf colors. This plant may not perform well in every site, but if it likes the location, it makes a very dense groundcover. Moneywort is another plant to consider, especially if adequate moisture is available. Moneywort is a very low growing plant that also forms a very dense mat. You should know that this plant is on the invasive species list in some states although it has

and fast rules as to the amount of slope/ runoff these mulches will withstand so it is best to start small and see how it works in a run-off event before spending lots of time and money only to see it float down the street. Be sure your maintenance practices are not contributing to the erosion problem. A common issue we see is repeated non-selective herbicide application, especially along fences and other hard to maintain areas, creating a bare ground situation. Any cover, even weeds, is always better than no cover when erosion is an issue.

not proven to be a problem in our part of the world. However, just to be on the safe side, it is probably best not to plant this if you are unable to keep an eye on it. In other words, don’t plant it along a creek or other riparian area where flooding could move it downstream. Virginia creeper is a native vine that forms a dense mat in shady areas. This plant will grow up and into trees so it must be kept in check with occasional cutting back. Many common types of mulch will float and follow the water, making them unacceptable for use in these situations. A few that resist this to some degree are cotton seed hulls, pine needles and shredded cypress. Cotton seed hulls will mat together and form a very dense barrier. There are no hard

are giant corporations serving banks and the mortgage industry and order vast numbers of transcripts a year; others are small entities that order far fewer. After criticism about poor vetting, the IRS tightened its procedures in 2016 and required third-party entities to re-submit basic qualifying information. But auditors found the IRS still allowed more than 29,000 transcripts to be sent to parties that had not complied with the revised rules by its deadline and whose permission to participate should have been revoked. Auditors also noted the intersection of transcript issues with identity theft and fraudulent requests for tax refunds using stolen consumer information. During tax years 2013 through 2016, they found that 222,534 taxpayer accounts “had a total of 647,208 tax transcripts requested for

the same tax year” of a confirmed identity theft. Investigators also highlighted the current transcript system’s absence of limits on the numbers of transcripts that can be obtained on a single individual taxpayer. Among the recommendations by auditors: Suspend the transcript service until better controls are established. The IRS declined to do so. But in a statement for this column, the IRS noted that it has now initiated the stricter controls sought by the audit, including multifactor authentication. This better enables the IRS to know “who is accessing its system and why and helps prevent account takeovers.” Auditors say they will monitor the recent changes to assess their effectiveness.

Asked what a shutdown of the transcript program would mean, Brandon Brahms, senior product manager for CoreLogic, one of the highest-volume providers of transcripts, said “it would grind the [mortgage] industry to a halt.” Curtis R. Knuth, president and CEO of NCS, another major provider, told me that although data security “needs to be tightened” further, changes undertaken by the IRS since late 2017 have improved protections. “Is anyone satisfied?

No,” he said, but the IRS is making efforts despite severe budget cuts. Bottom line for you as a mortgage applicant: Take the 4506T form seriously, not just as another piece of the paper blitz involved in obtaining a loan. Most important: Never leave blank line 5 of the form, which identifies the third party that will obtain the transcript, and always fill out the specific tax years you agree to share.
