THE PILOT — SOUTHERN PINES, N.C.
Dear Community,
When you need to know... talk to Mickey DeBernard
voice gratitude for something. Not surprisingly, home, family and pride in protecting both were top of mind at a holiday celebration far away from the homes and people we loved. American home ownership is more than growing a monetary portfolio. A home is place to gather, raise a family, make memories and provide a safe haven. One of the pleasures Realtors enjoy is assisting families find a home knowing that the spirit of homecoming is inherent in the purchase. It’s a privilege that isn’t taken lightly. In the challenging local real estate market, it’s important to be represented by a capable, experienced local Realtor® who understands the market and is a skilled negotiator. Pinehurst So Pines Area Association of Realtors has well qualified and highly trained Realtor members. Understanding the wide range of skills Realtors possess, interviewing agents to learn about individual experience, expertise and results, and hiring a local realtor is the best advantage to buying and selling real estate in Moore County.
Lawrence Yun, the chief economist for the National Association of Realtors told a crowd of North Carolina Realtors last September, “Americans buy homes and drive cars. It’s part of the American psyche.” The American psyche is the promise of opportunity and self directed happiness. Inherited from the earliest settlers to our unknown continent, it includes the hope that hard work will bring a successful outcome, that a higher being will bless the efforts and gratitude for abundance. In that spirit, each November Americans come home to gather around a Thanksgiving table, celebrating personal bounties and reconnecting with friends and family. Thanksgiving 2001, my husband Henry and I lived in Kuwait where we had the pleasure of hosting about 50 National guardsmen and activity duty military members for Thanksgiving dinner. At that point, just a few weeks after treachery originating in the Middle East, no one knew what lay ahead, who America’s friends were, or what our commitment would be in the region. As part of the celebration, we encouraged each person to

Protect Your Investment This Fall with a Few Home Chores Between Touchdowns and Turkey Leftovers
The leaves have changed and are rapidly falling to the ground, creating another timehonored chore: raking, and providing hours of leaf fort entertainment for children in neighborhoods across the country. While many families would prefer to spend the weekends cheering on their favorite football teams, there are a few important maintenance tasks that should make their way onto every home owner’s Saturday “to do” list.
November typically brings with it the first crisp days of fall and, in some areas of the country, the season’s first frost. A little effort paid to home maintenance now, may save you time, money and headaches during the long winter months ahead. Take this opportunity to check out your exterior doors to determine if they are leaking cold air. While outside, survey your home’s exterior walls and look for
weather-related cracks or crumbling mortar. Wood trim and siding also can suffer from weatherworn paint and may have become loose, as can windowsills. Inspect your roof carefully to head off costly emergency repairs that may be needed during the winter. Keep an eye out for damaged or loose shingles, gaps in the flashing and mortar damage around the chimney. If you see or suspect any damage, contact a professional roofer to evaluate and repair the damage. Late summer and fall storms, such as hurricanes, tornadoes and even severe thunderstorms, can cause weak trees or branches to break and damage your home, car or power lines, in some cases weeks after the damaging weather has passed. Scan the wooded areas of your lot for large, dead branches, detached branches that are suspended in trees, cavities or rotten wood
along trunks or split tree trunks. If you see anything that looks hazardous, contact a professional tree service. If you have an inground lawn sprinkler system, contact a professional company about servicing the system for the winter to avoid costly repairs due to burst pipes. Don’t ignore your hose bibs and learn the location of your pipes as well as how to shut off the water. If your pipes end up freezing, you’ll have a better chance of preventing a burst if you can quickly shut water off. It’s also a good idea to check weather stripping and caulking around windows and doors, helping keep your home better insulated against the elements. Last but not least of your exterior fall home maintenance chores, keep your gutters clear.
It’s important to remove all debris so that water can properly drain, minimizing standing water and stalling the freeze and thaw expansion process that often occurs during colder months. If your lot is extremely wooded or you’ve had a problem in the past, consider installing gutter guards that prevent leaves and branches from entering your gutters and direct the flow of water away from the house and into the ground. While you may be tempted to end your fall home maintenance check outside, a few simple interior checks also are warranted this time of year. Check pipes for cracks and leaks and have any damage promptly repaired and consider insulating unfinished rooms, such as garages, if they contain exposed pipes. And,
maintain at least 65 degrees in your home. Before the cold weather strikes, take a look at your heating system to be sure it is in working order or have the unit serviced before the busy winter season. Check and replace appropriate filters and the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors as well. Do a quick check of insulation in your attic, to prevent the cycle of water freezing and melting on your roof, a potential cause of roof damage, and basement and crawl spaces to ensure your space is well insulated and to prevent freezing pipes. Finally, clean out any dust that has accumulated in vents to reduce exposure to indoor pollutants and cut down on winter colds.

Take steps now to keep indoor air clean throughout winter
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2011
(ARA) - When the winter winds start to howl, it's a natural response to want to close your home up tightly. To stay warm and avoid wasting energy, you close the windows - or even seal them with window film -- find ways to stop air from leaking in through cracks and under doors, and then put your heating system to work. But when those instincts kick in, remember that what you're doing is sealing air inside your home. There's a definite upside to sealing your house up well for the winter: you'll stay warmer, with less impact on your energy bills. However, the downside is that those actions can negatively affect the quality of the air you'll be breathing. It's a particular concern because of the increased amount of time people spend indoors through the winter. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems have been shown to act as a collection

source for a variety of contaminants that have the potential to affect health, such as mold, fungi, bacteria and very small particles of dust. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. "When you flip that switch on your heater, there is a lot of dust and debris collected in the coils over the summer months - that either burns into fumes or gushes into the house through your vents," says Aaron Marshbanks, board member of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA). The removal of such contaminants from your HVAC system is crucial to improve indoor air quality. Plus, a clean system can save you money on your energy bill. Further research from the EPA found that HVAC system cleaning may allow systems to run more efficiently by remov-
ing debris from sensitive mechanical components. Clean, efficient systems are less likely to break down, have a longer life span, and generally operate more effectively than dirty systems. "Heating and cooling uses up about half of the energy in your home," says Marshbanks. "But having a clean HVAC system can save you up to 30 percent in energy costs. That means you have better air inside the house, and are helping the environment while keeping an extra bit of cash in your pocket." The best way to determine if your HVAC system is clean is to perform a visual inspection. Before winter settles in, be sure to have these top issues that affect a home's HVAC system checked: 1. Filtration - Lowefficiency filters, lack of a filter replacement program and improperly sized filters can allow particles and debris to flow into a home or building.
PAGE D5
2. Duct work contamination - It is estimated that about 90 percent of HVAC systems more than 10 years old will have some level of insulation deterioration. Over time, the insulation fibers are distributed and blown into occupied spaces every time the blower turns on. 3. Dirty evaporator coil - Over time, evaporator coils become matted with dust and dirt. During cold months, the heated air can flow over the dirty coils
and be distributed into your home's interior space. Not all households are the same when it comes to how often their systems need cleaning, either. If any of these apply to your home, you might consider more frequent cleaning: * Smokers in the household. * Pets that shed high amounts of hair and dander. * Water contamination or damage to the home or HVAC system. * Residents with al-
lergies or asthma. * Home renovations or remodeling. The most effective way to clean air ducts and ventilation systems is to employ source removal methods of cleaning. This requires a contractor to place the system under negative pressure through the use of a specialized, powerful vacuum. For more information about HVAC cleaning and to find a certified and knowledgeable contractor, visit www.NADCA.com.

(ARA) - Most homeowners do not think about their roof on a daily basis. They assume that it is performing its duty unless something happens that tells them otherwise, such as a leak. Realistically, there were probably signs of roof trouble well in advance. Luckily, there are some easy tasks that can be done to help you keep an eye on the condition of your roof so your home and investment are properly protected. Do-it-yourself visual inspection With all types of home maintenance, safety is paramount. The following five actions can be done safely and help determine the condition of the roof. Look around Look around the neighborhood for other roofs being replaced, especially if the homes were built about the same time as yours. Chances are if your neighbors' roofs are showing signs of wear and tear or are being replaced, it may only be a matter of time before it's your turn. Also when doing yard work, look along the ground around gutter downspouts to see if there are abnormal amounts of granules washing off the roof. Granules not only give your shingles a distinct appearance, they also protect the asphalt against premature aging. Finding a small sprinkling of granules is normal, but large piles may mean that your roof is losing its ability to protect against UV rays. Look up Another easy action that can be done while on the ground is to look up at the edges of the roof for shingle curling. When the corners of the shingle start curling, your roof
can be more exposed to the elements, and if a proper roofing underlayment is missing, the interior of the home is also at risk of damage. Look out While on the second floor of your house, look out a window that overlooks part of the roof and look for shingle wear and tear or missing shingles. If you are already on the ladder cleaning out your gutters, you can conduct many of the same inspections. Cracks or missing granules showing patches of black asphalt could mean it's time for a new roof. Look down If you are not already in the practice of cleaning your gutters, you probably do not realize this is another element of protecting the life of your roof. By making sure gutters are clear of debris, you not only ensure proper drainage, but decrease the chance of ice damming in the winter. Ice dams can cause melting snow and ice to push under shingles and down through your roof deck into your attic or living space. There are special "ice and water" underlayment to help combat this issue. Owens Corning Roofing has several types called WeatherLock. Unfortunately, ice and water underlayment cannot be added to an existing roof, but is a great product to include if a new roofing system is needed. Watch your roof's back An additional area that is often overlooked in visual inspection is what is behind the shingles. Whenever you are in the attic, take a few minutes to look for problems such as water stains on the back of the wood decking or holes in the insulation. Also, make sure your attic
ventilation system has free air flow. A balanced system of air intake and exhaust is preferred. Often times, the air flow can get blocked off at the soffit, which affects the performance of the system and can result in poor ventilation throughout the home. Leave the hard work to the professionals If you conduct these inspections and you notice that there are problems, it may be time to call a professional contractor to conduct a thorough inspection and make a recommendation on the actions to restore or replace the roof. A complete roofing system consists of roofing shingles, as well as other essential components such as felt underlayment, ice and water waterproofing underlayment, starter shingles, ventilation products and hip and ridge shingles. Owens Corning Roofing offers insight into the things you should know about your roof on their website, including information about locating and selecting the right roofing contractor. The site also has videos as well as an interactive tool, called DesignEyeQ Visualization Experience Tool which allows you to upload a picture of your roof and "try on" different shingles and color combinations. A healthy roofing system is important for providing shelter to your family and for protecting your valuables and financial investment. Being proactive in watching the condition of your roof before being surprised by a leak could cost you less in the end. These few easy tips can help you properly maintain your roof, which can result in long-lasting comfort, beauty and overall energy efficiency.
