Repairing Small and Large Appliances
As it’s important to take precautionary measures when maintaining and sustaining your household small and large appliances, sometimes problems arise and need to be addressed. Here are a few preventive and constructive suggestions to avoid repairs. Refrigerators: Freezer temperature should be 0 degrees F and the refrigerator 35-37 degrees F. Clean the condenser coil and wash the door gaskets with warm soapy water at least once per year. If your refrigerator has a water filter, be sure to change it regularly as per the manufacturer’s recommendations (usually every 6 months). Dishwashers: Hot water is essential for clean and dry dishes. Water entering the dishwasher should be at least 130 degrees F. Run the hot water at the sink next to the dishwasher until the cold water is purged out of the hot water line. Check the bottom of the silverware basket for holes. Cutlery can extend through the hole and inhibit the spray arm from turning therefore causing poor wash ability. Ovens: When using foil inside the oven to help keep it clean, keep it at least one inch from any electric heating element. Many oven breakdowns occur during the cleaning cycle, so it is not a good idea to self-clean an oven ‘immediately’ prior to a big dinner. Cleaning a week or more in advance would allow service to be scheduled should a problem arise. Clothes Washer: Investing in new stainless steel braided hoses helps avoid costly damages (bursting hoses). Rubber backed mats can cause problems by putting added strain on a washer and possibly causing unbalanced loads. The rubber backing can break down and separate, infiltrating the wash system and clog hoses, pumps, filters and valves. Clothes Dryer: A free flowing vent line to the outside of the house is necessary for good performance. Restricted air flow in a vent line is caused by the vent line being too long, kinked, too many bends, or being partially clogged with lint build-up. It’s a good idea to clean the lint out of the vent line at least once per year. Clean lint screens with dishwashing detergent, water, and a soft brush. Replace any white plastic vent hose with new foil or metal vents. 8

SIGNS YOUR CAR NEEDS SERVICE
1. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER DASHBOARD WARNINGS As ambiguous as a “check engine” light may be, your car’s on-board diagnostic system is essential to keeping the engine running efficiently. Flashing or blinking warning lights or check engine indicators should be addressed as soon as possible.
2. OIL SPOTS UNDER THE CAR Have you noticed dark brown oil spots on your garage floor or driveway? Not only are the stains unsightly, they indicate your vehicle is leaking precious motor oil. The problem could be as minor as an oil filter or drain plug not secured tightly or as major as compromised gasket somewhere in the engine.
3. SQUEALING OR SQUEAKING WHEN BRAKING Many vehicle manufacturers and brake components engineer their brakes to emit a high-pitch squeal or squeak when brake pads are near the end of their service life. Squealing or squeaking can also indicate that brake hardware has become too worn. Putting off simple brake repairs can quickly cause more costly damage.
4. CHIRPING OR SCREECHING FROM UNDER THE HOOD Drive belts, also known as serpentine belts, direct engine power to accessory systems like the power steering or AC. These belts can become frayed, brittle or glazed as they wear, which can create a chirping or screeching sound, especially on start-up. Belt replacement is a simple repair that’s relatively cheap.
5. HUMMING, GROWLING OR ROARING WHEN DRIVING If you notice these noises, your tires may be worn or deformed, and it’s time to replace them (which should help improve fuel economy). Another cause, especially if you notice the sound only when turning or changing lanes, is a bad wheel bearing. If you suspect a bad bearing, get the issue checked out immediately, as a seized or damaged bearing could leave you stranded. 12

WARNING SIGNS OF BAD BRAKES
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES ARE YOUR BRAKES; DON’T TAKE CHANCES BY OPERATING A VEHICLE WITH FAULTY BRAKES.
When brake repairs or service is needed, there are a number of indicators your vehicle can provide. Most vehicles have a warning light or message that may appear to indicatate that the brakes are poor. Other more serious signs include diminished stopping power, a “squishy” or soft brake pedal response and significant noises. If you expereince these signs below, you should service your vehicle immediately:
1. VIBRATIONS WHILE BRAKING Vibrations when pressure is applied to the brake pedal can indicate some loss of pedal response. When you press your foot against the brake pedal, the pedal should feel more firm the harder you press it. If the pedal feels soft or travels almost or near the floor, it’s a safety issue that should be addressed immediately. Pay attention to any vibrations you may feel when pressing the brake pedal. Other vibrations that occur when braking may appear to come from the car seat or the steering wheel when braking. All of these are signs of significant brake problems. Another similarly related issue is uneven braking, such as when the car veers to one direction when braking, or a pulsing sensation when you press the brake pedal.
2. BRAKE NOISES Noises that occur when braking should not be ignored. Typical noises that indicate brake system problems include a soft ticking, loud clicks, shrill squeals, deep rumbles or grinding sounds. These noises can signal anything from a loss of brake fluid, worn brake pads or scored rotors. You should have your brakes inspected at least every six months for signs of wear and tear. Don’t wait until noises develop or become significantly louder to address brake system maintenance. 14

IT BEGAN WITH AN IDEA… Over 30 years ago the founders of Shepherd’s Guide had the idea that Christians would prefer dealing with businesses that they could trust. The result was the first edition of Shepherd’s Guide, published here in Baltimore in 1980. We’d like to thank the local Christian community. Without the loyal support of Christian businesses and families, our directory would have never been possible. If you need extra copies of this edition, or you’re interested in advertising, don’t hesitate to call us at 410-821-7000 or email us at baltimore@shepherdsguide.com.

Whether your window covering needs are energy efficiency, light control, privacy or just dressing it up with draperies; we have the solution to meet your needs at Budget Binds of Forest Hill.
When choosing a suitable window covering for the home or office, it’s important to keep in mind how products function. Directing the light control as well as the opacity or openness are very important considerations. Various window treatments can help illuminate a dim room, block intense sun light that can cause furniture and flooring to fade or even alleviate glare on computer and television screens. Child safety is serious business. That’s why the window coverings industry uses warning tags, warning labels, and other methods to communicate the potential hazards of corded window coverings. Many products offer no exposed cords and are inherently child safe. Motorized window treatments are another solution for child safety. At Budget Blinds of Forest Hill we work with you to analyze your window covering needs, offer design and color consulting, and provide professional installation, to provide you the perfect fit for your home or office. 18

STEPS TO GET THE SMELL OF PET URINE OUT OF YOUR CARPET
1. Act FAST to remove pet stains Clean up any urine that’s still wet. If the urine dries, it stains the carpet and increases bacteria growth. To best remove the stain, place a layer of several paper towels over the wet area of the carpet. Dab the urine with a paper towel so that they absorb as much of the urine as possible. Removing wet urine reduces the smell. 2. Neutralize the odor For new or set-in stains, create a vinegar cleaning solution consisting of one part white vinegar to one part water. Vinegar neutralizes the ammonia smell of urine without fading carpet fibers, making it a good choice for cleaning and protecting your carpet. •
Slowly pour the solution on the stained area of the carpet. The solution needs to reach the lower fibers in the carpet to completely neutralize the area. After allowing the carpet to absorb the solution for 10 minutes, use a layer of paper towels to soak up the liquid.
•
Once the carpet is almost dry — which could be several hours later — sprinkle a little baking soda on the area to absorb the odor. Allow the baking soda to settle into the carpet fibers for about 15 minutes, then vacuum the area. This should remove pet urine odor from the carpet.
3. Use commercial pet stain removers The market is filled with commercial pet stain removers, deodorizers and air fresheners. If using vinegar and baking soda fails to remove the urine smell from your home turn to the commercial products. Some products work better than others depending on the type of carpet you have, such as natural versus synthetic fibers. Read the label on these products to find the best fit. 4. Hire a carpet cleaning service to remove pet urine odor If the carpet odors are longstanding and include urine stains that you can’t remove, hire a professional carpet cleaner. These experts have a wide range of machines and solvents at their disposal to clean your carpet that will remove odors to make it look good as new. 22

Replacing or Installing Flooring
Flooring is one of the first things someone sees when entering a home. Is your home welcoming to others? Does it make you happy, comfortable, and relaxed? There are many available types of flooring on the market to suit your needs. We’ll give you an idea of what to look for when deciding on whom and how you will replace/install flooring. Communication: It is very important for the contractor to be attentive to your specific needs. The contractor should show enthusiasm for your project by suggesting ways to work within a budget and specific concerns you may have. In Person Estimates: Be sure that quotes are ‘inclusive’ of the total project costs. Some flooring companies may provide quotes that do not include elements that are required in order to complete the project. Expect a company’s best price up front. Some companies may play games with pricing and may not be giving you their best price up front. Material to be used: All products are not the same. Be sure to understand performance differences of products and be sure to pursue value and not just the lowest price. Flooring is remodeling–understand that a project that is properly installed may create a temporary inconvenience in your house. A contractor should be able to tell you what products and materials he would likely use for your project. He should also offer you several options (when applicable) when selecting products, materials and techniques. Be sure to view samples in the largest size possible, and under a variety of lighting conditions in your home. This will help you make the best color choice. Warranties/Insurance: Get all guarantees, warranties and promises in writing. Don’t assume that just because your house was built “up to code” that there will not be problems that have to be corrected before new floor coverings are installed. 24

A Business Owner’s Prayer Dear Father, Thank you for the opportunity you have given me to be in business. May you be honored in every decision that is made, every service that is rendered, and every transaction that is consumated. Make me bold to tell of your love to both my customers and my associates. Also, Lord, may they see your love in my actions just as clearly as in my words. By your word, Lord, may I be successful enough to support my family and your work. And Lord, may the true fruits of my labors be the joys of knowing that I do my job well.
In Jesus' name, Amen 27

Chimney cleaning
Typically chimney sweepers use large stiff metal brushes with other tools to remove soot and creosote from the interior of a chimney. A poly brush will be used if you have a liner/metal-coated chimney, or your chimney is fragile due to age. Some brushes may be electrically powered. If you use your fireplace more than twice a week during the winter months, you should have your chimney cleaned at least every two years according to experts. Chimney Cleaning services have also been a part of at-home scams. These scammers usually target elderly people living alone. They show up at your house and say they’ve been working in the area, have some free time and will offer a really low price or special deal if you accept their offer now to clean your chimney. However, once they begin the job, they say they have found a serious problem and unless you have it fixed immediately, there could be disastrous results. They trick the homeowner into paying thousands of dollars for an “emergency repair” that was never even needed. Make sure you see photos before and after the service has been performed.

Need a chiropractic adjustment?
When searching for a chiropractor, here is some advice from Chiropractic Associations. Find a chiropractor who specializes in your problem - Make sure you find a Chiropractor who specializes in your problems, like neck problems or sports injuries. You can find out more by looking at their website. Chiropractors may get additional education in some specialties like working with babies, or young children, but usually the Chiropractor becomes specialized through hands on experience. Look at education and licensure - Look at the education and licensing by checking your state’s board of chiropractic examiners for any negative action. Check on experience - The doctor should have some experience in the industry so they are educated enough to handle your problem. Ask about private rooms - Some chiropractors treat patients in open rooms–meaning there are multiple tables in one room for treatment. If you do not feel comfortable in this type of setting, ask if you can be treated in a private room. Before you make an appointment, do a little research on your specific needs. Although most chiropractors offer the same type of spinal manipulation as a core service, finding a chiropractor who uses techniques that are more in line with your comfort level is recommended.

MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETY BRINGS HISTORY ALIVE Sponsored by Maryland Bible Society.
A
s the State of Maryland celebrated the 200th anniversary of the writing of the Star Spangled Banner, the Maryland Bible Society is teaching history in a unique way. MBS was formed in 1810, and over the past 200 years has accumulated a fascinating collection of Bibles, books, and historical objects that tell the social history of the area. The collection, now housed at Stevenson available by MBS through “Bible Sundays” University and accessible to scholars, is made at churches throughout the region. The presentation combines a proclamation of the Word of God with bringing history to life through the remarkable objects offered for display and description — and has received an enthusiastic reception. The 200th anniversary of the Star Spangled Banner makes a particularly appropriate occasion to renew interest in history told through Bibles, as James McHenry (for whom Fort McHenry is named) was a prominent member of the Maryland Bible Society in the 19th Century. As MBS begins its third century, it has turned its emphasis from printing and distributing Bibles to “encouraging and helping people read, understand and live out the truths and principles God has given us through His Holy Scriptures”, as explained by Executive Director David Moyer. MBS’ goal is to “ignite fresh passion for God’s Word.” That passion is fully on display in the Bible Sundays, which bring to life the impact of the Scriptures on history, and on today. (To schedule a ‘Bible Sunday’ at your church, please call our office at 410-685-4040 or visit our website at mdbible.org)

In a Christian community, everything depends upon whether each individual is an indispensable link in a chain. Only when even the smallest link is securely interlocked is the chain unbreakable. A community which allows unemployed members to exist within it will perish because of them. It will be well, therefore, if every member receives a definite task to perform for the community, that he may know in hours of doubt that he, too, is not useless and unusable. Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of the fellowship. Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Unlocking WinLocker and CryptoLocker Ransomware Sponsored by Computer Clinc. See our ad on page 49. t’s no secret in the cyber world — ransomware is on the rise. Technology experts report Ihackers, that ransomware attacks regularly bring in over $200K per day for these sophisticated and the number of ransomware attacks reportedly doubled to $6M in 2015. What is CryptoLocker and How Does It Infect My Computer? CryptoLocker is a ransomware trojan file uploaded as attachments or placed into strategically crafted email content that, when opened, convinces vulnerable users to access the files and unwittingly install the trojan on their own devices. Once CryptoLocker and other ransomware trojans are installed on a user’s computer, the user is presented with a screen that states that their files have been encrypted. The screen contains a countdown clock, and the message displayed demands a specific amount of money to be paid using prepaid cards or Bitcoin. The ransomware threat goes on to inform the user that if they don’t pay up before the clock runs out, the private key that unlocks their captive files and all of their encrypted data will be permanently destroyed. How Can I Protect Myself Against Ransomware? Unfortunately, avoiding the ransomware malware attack is quite difficult. You’d have to avoid clicking on attachments and instruct employees to be extra cautious with opening emails that otherwise look harmless. Most individuals and businesses simply don’t have the kind of IT security training to effectively avoid a ransomware situation — but there are certain steps you can take to reduce your vulnerability: • • • • • •
Never click on pop-ups that claim your computer has been infected with a virus Perform regular updates on anti-virus and anti-malware programs Try to verify the sender and the content before opening email attachments Utilize your browser’s pop-up blocker Don’t open or download anti-virus software offers from emails or pop-ups Back up and secure your data regularly
The Computer Clinic at UTX know the techniques to prevent CryptoLocker Infections, WinLocker Threats, and other variations of the ransomware trojan. If you think you may have been infected by a virus or threatened by ransomware, contact UTX for network security, antivirus, and anti-malware options. 48

QUESTIONS TO ASK
BEFORE YOU HIRE AN ELECTRICIAN
Before hiring an electrician, know their qualifications by asking the right questions:
1. ARE YOU LICENSED, BONDED AND INSURED? These components help you in case something goes wrong.
2.WHAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE DO THEY HAVE? The longer they’ve been on the job, and the more continuing education they’ve received, the more likely they are to know the ins and outs of different systems.
3. WHO’S DOING THE WORK? Will it be the owner, or a licensed journeyman electrician? If apprentices are on the job, who will be overseeing them? Additionally, if the electrician uses subcontractors, they may not be covered by the contractor’s licensing and insurance, so make sure everyone is protected.
4. ARE THEY UP TO DATE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICIAL CODE? The NEC sets the standard in most states, and it’s updated every three years. A good electrician will be up to date on the most recent edition.
5. DO YOU OFFER A WARRANTY? Ask whether the parts or labor both are under warranty and how long that warranty is effective.

What should you do if a company says you can’t give them a bad review? Before you sign a home improvement contract, make sure you read the fine print – trending in contracts are “You can’t post a negative review” about the contractor you just hired. This might be surprising, but it’s happening more and more. Contractors are including in the fine print that you pledge not to give the company a bad review. Why would someone you hire include this in their contract? Some contractors have been taken advantage of by customers in the past. For example they may tell the contractor, “if you don’t finish the job in the completed time, lower the price, etc., I’m going to give you a negative review”. They say every now and then a strange customer will be unreasonable and impossible to please, looking for a way to get a better deal. If you are concerned about signed a contract with this type of clause in place, just give your contractor a call. Tell them that you are not comfortable with the ‘Gag clause’ and more times than not, the contractor will remove the rule. 60

SPRING LAWN CARE TIPS
1. CLEAN & REPAIR YOUR LAWN If your lawn is already well-maintained, all you need to do is give it a light raking once the ground has dried out. However, problem areas should be addressed quickly, as they can stress your lawn and make it more susceptible to weeds and disease.
2. Plant your Grass Once you’ve cleaned and repaired your lawn, you may need to reseed parts of it that are particularly bare or brown... 3. Fertilize your Grass Once your grass is well-established, you can encourage its growth and discourage weeds by applying a combination of fertilizers and herbicides. Make sure to read the labels to find out what is best for the area you live in.
4. MOW YOUR LAWN CORRECTLY Both mowing height and frequency are important to the health of your grass. Mowing with a low blade height removes nutrients stored in leaf blades and exposes the soil to sunlight, allowing weeds to take hold more easily. Taller grass is better able to compete with weeds, thanks to a larger root system and a higher tolerance for heat. It also shades the ground, allowing the soil to retain water more effectively. 5. MAINTAIN YOUR LAWN CARE EQUIPMENT A little bit of service and preventative maintenance can ensure that your lawn mower, string trimmer and other implements are running efficiently and won’t break down before you place them back into storage for the winter. Such machines are typically gasoline powered, so they should be serviced.

SHEPHERD’S GUIDE SPOTLIGHT
Landscapes and Hardscapes Design is the number one cornerstone for creating a successful landscape project. An excellent landscape design and installation company works from a ‘personal landscape plan’, created for your specific family. This plan should include specific items related to your family, such as; colors you like, number and age of children and pets, what you are trying to accomplish, your lifestyle habits and most importantly, budget options. Components: Materials for projects in the landscape industry have changed over recent years. Not every patio is concrete anymore. New items from tree types, grass varieties, new shrub introductions and hard materials are now far better and more cost efficient for the homeowner. For example, new paver patios are a great change from the old concrete patios of the past. Communication: Communication with the company’s office and staff is critical, especially in project based, landscape design and installation. The company employees should be professional in their appearance, call when running late and follow up swiftly with requests for information. Planning: There is an order to any project, no matter the size, and it should typically go something like this: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i)
A landscape plan approved by the family or HOA. Permits (if any) A utility search of the area to be worked on. Demo or removal of old landscape or hardscape areas. Drainage and soil work. Installation of hardscape & large trees. Installation of irrigation system. Installation of shrubs and small plants. Sod installations and landscape lighting to finish.
Maintenance: Drainage is always one of the first items of any project to consider. Over 95% of all landscape projects have some type of drainage from stone swales to ‘take away’ water. What’s more, French drains behind walls are not just optional they are required. Ask your landscaping professional about new water collecting systems, underground cistern systems, rain barrels and wells as these are hot and significant topics to consider because of our recent post drought period.

WHY HIRE A CHRISTIAN PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER? Yes, you read that correctly—“Christian” and “personal injury lawyer” in the same sentence. If this sounds like an oxymoron (ideas that contradict each other), then read on. Sponsored by White Marsh Law, LLC. See our ad on page 73.
A
ccidents happen to everyone ( “The rain falls on the just and unjust” Mt 5:45). As with any legal need, the Believer should invoke his or her rights to justice in the American system of jurisprudence. Recall how Paul when he was about to be arrested invoked his rights to Roman citizenship to thwart incarceration ( Acts 16:37) . He could have shrunk back into a “ woe is me “ posture. Instead, he invoked his rights. When you are in a car crash, you too , need to hire a proven expert in accident law; and if that expert also shares your worldview then all the better. Some tort reformers vilify the personal injury lawyer as if the problems in the “system” would be all cured by getting rid of so-called greedy lawyers. But personal injury attorneys help you navigate the murky waters of insurance law and the court system. You can be sure the insurance industry will hire a topnotch defense attorney to fight your injury claim because an insurance company is rightly sworn to its shareholders to minimize payouts; certainly they will not freely pay benefits to an accident victim. So why would the accident victim who happens to be a person of faith roll over? You need an attorney with a proven track record who can aggressively fight for your rights but with a Biblical balance. “It is not the healthy who need a physician but the sick”, said Jesus in Luke 6. This means that his ambassadors, too, need to walk in all areas of life spreading that healing, even in the realm of personal injury law. 72

7 Reasons Why a christian should make a will Sponsored by Thomas Schetelich and the Law Firm of Ferguson, Schetelich & Ballew, P.A. See our ad on page on 70. A Will is an important legal document that governs your affairs and distributes your estate after death. It can also be a spiritual testimony in real and practical ways, including:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
YOUR WILL GIVES INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING YOUR FUNERAL AND BURIAL, and can assure that a Christian testimony is
maintained in these arrangements.
A WILL PROTECTS YOUR FAMILY and enables you to set up trusts to provide ongoing protection for children or those who are otherwise unable to manage finances. A WILL ENABLES YOU TO DO TAX PLANNING that can substantially reduce death taxes and preserve more of your estate for your family. YOUR WILL ENABLES YOU TO PICK THE PERSON who will be your Personal Representative, who will settle your estate. YOUR WILL IS THE ONLY DOCUMENT by which you can select a guardian for your minor children. YOUR WILL CAN PROVIDE FOR SPECIFIED GIFTS to particular family members or friends, who will most appreciate them. YOUR WILL CAN INCLUDE GIFTS OF CASH OR PROPERTY TO YOUR CHURCH and other Christian organizations, to support ministries of
your choice.
A will allows you to control each of these important aspects of your last wishes. If you don’t have a will, the Law will make these choices for you. 76

SHEPHERD’S GUIDE SPOTLIGHT
What is Life Coaching?
Some consider it a modern form of counselling, others an expensive agony aunt and by many a by-product of American’s attitude to chasing the proverbial dream. The truth couldn’t be more different. Life coaching has grown to be a hugely successful form of talking therapy, to the extent that it has helped turn people’s lives around. Life coaching is a widely misunderstood approach. A life coach is someone that looks to empower others by helping them make, meet and exceed goals in both their personal and professional lives. Three words can be used to describe what a life coach does: • Guidance is the life coach providing the tools and support for someone to broaden their perspective and open their mind, enabling them to reach their goals. • Empowerment is helping the individual realize their own self-worth and self-belief that has for one reason or another, diminished. • Improvement in the sense that an individual will go from where they are to where they want to be, in effect reaching their goal. Life coaching can help with virtually any aspect of someone’s life– whether it is in their personal or professional life. Hiring a life coach for personal difficulties has become a huge market and is continuing to grow.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT MOVER
1. CHECK THE REPUTATION OF THE COMPANY How long have they been in business? Is the company a member of their state moving and storage association or the American Moving & Storage Association? Visit www.moving. org to see if the company is listed. Also, get a recommendation–a satisfied friend or customer is the best resource.
2. KNOW WHO WILL PERFORM YOUR MOVE Make sure that the company you hire for your move will be the same company that actually performs your move. Some movers, particularly during the busy summer season, may schedule more work than they are capable of handling. As a result, they may turn your move over to another company - a company that you have not researched.
3. Make sure the mover’s place of business actually exists. If you are having the mover store your goods, can you visit the mover’s warehouse? Beware of companies that provide no physical business address or won’t allow you to view their facilities.
4. UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF TECHNOLOGY With the rise of the internet, rogue companies are able to solicit more customers than ever before. While customers should be wary of booking a move over the internet, technology does offer some valuable tools. For example, internet mapping tools can allow a customer to view a company’s facility without ever leaving home.
5. GET AN IN-HOME ESTIMATE Whenever possible, ask any company you are considering hiring to come to your home, inspect your goods, and give you a written estimate of the cost.
6. Read your contract. Moving company contracts often limit their responsibility. 80

PAINTING THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME
HELPFUL TIPS FOR HIRING A PAINTING CONTRACTOR Cost: Painters may require upfront payments in large amounts to cover the cost of supplies. If a job requires monies upfront and takes less than a week upfront to complete, then the company may lack credibility. Look at estimates as well–if a painter prices out ‘coats as needed’, you may pay more than you need to. Warranties/Guarantees: Do your research on the company before you hire them. How many years have they been in business? Is their pricing competitive? Do they offer free estimates? If it seems too good to be true, it probably is! Safety: It is very important when hiring a painting contractor that you do not lend them your tools or help them in any way. While it may seem harmless, if the contractor is hurt while you are helping them, you could be liable for a ‘tort claim’. Make sure you look into the painting company’s liability insurance before hiring them to perfom the job. Materials: The contractor should only use high quality products when painting your house. It is a good idea to verify the quality of materials with the paint manufacturer. If any surface has to be prepped before the job, make sure it is completed. If painting over previous colors make sure you price what the second coat would cost before you begin the job. Get everything in writing for the type of prep work, paint (brand), coats, caulking and any warranties.

4
REASONS TO HIRE
A PROFESSIONAL
PEST CONTROL COMPANY
1. YOUR HEALTH Beyond being creepy, pests can carry harmful diseases and hazardous bacteria that can expose your family members to illness. For instance, cockroaches carry E coli and salmonella on their bodies and can also cause or intensify health problems related to allergies and asthma. Tick bites can cause Lyme disease, which is a dangerous condition often associated with symptoms such as rashes, severe fatigue and extreme illness. Ants can contaminate your food, and bees or wasps can cause injuries and trigger dangerous allergic reactions.
2.IDENTIFY & ELIMINATE PESTS Most pest control companies can eliminate many different types of pests, including spiders, rodents and all sorts of insects — ants, bees, cockroaches, fleas, termites and wasps. Different types of baits and chemicals are required to extract and eliminate different types of pests. A licensed pest control technician will know the safe and proper dosages of these chemicals to apply and when and where to apply them.
3. FINDING THE SOURCE Professionals can maximize the effect of a pest control treatment by also locating the source of the infestation. If you eliminate the pests but don’t find the source attracting them to your home, more infestations are likely. Pest control companies can determine the cause of your problem, find the specific source and eliminate it to prevent future infestations. Sources might include egg batches, garbage, nests, plants, soil, pet food or particular areas in your walls.
4. AVOIDING DAMAGE The cost to hire a pest control company may even save you money over time. Many pests and rodents can damage your home — destroying carpets, clothes, foundations, floors, furniture, rugs or walls. This can eventually force you to repair the damage or pay to have it fixed. 86

5
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR PLUMBER
1. REFERENCES An experienced plumbing company should be able to give you the names of recent customers in your part of town.
2. ESTIMATES Get at least three written estimates from three different plumbers. Documentation is often the best ammunition should things go wrong.
3. LICENSED, BONDED & INSURED Nearly every state in the U.S. requires plumbers to be licensed through a state professional licensing agency. Requirements vary on the need for professional licensing bonds, but all plumbers should have insurance to cover accidents that may happen while on your property.
4. PAYMENT SCHEDULE On a big job, especially a planned remodeling, the service provider may want the customer to pay 10 to 15 percent of the cost up front and 50 percent paid before the job is completed — especially if expensive materials need to be purchased for the project. Make sure you know what is expected. If you’re suspicious, contact your state’s professional licensing board or contracting board to ask about local standards. Many states set limits on what is allowed to be paid up-front.
5. WHERE THE COMPANY IS LOCATED Be cautious of contractors who give you a post office box with no street address or use only an answering service. Never hire someone who comes unsolicited to your door and can’t provide you proof of qualifications — especially if he or she pressures you to hire fast and pay cash up front. 96

SHEPHERD’S GUIDE SPOTLIGHT
Buying a House?
5
Things that Can RUIN A Closing
When buying a house, finding someone who is trustworthy is an important first step. Here are a few points to consider, to make the process a little less overwhelming:
1. Don’t make large purchases Purchasing new furniture, or opening a new line of credit before you close on your house can affect the debt-to-income ratio, and new accounts or high balances can result in credit being pulled again. All of this could delay the process or cause you to be denied from your loan.
2. Make Sure to provide paperwork on time Many borrowers don’t provide paperwork to the lender when requested. Experts say failure to secure a home loan in a timely manner typically represents the No. 1 threat to a buyer’s ability to purchase a home. Make sure to find a lender early in your home search process and get pre-approved for a loan. 3. the settlement statement may shock you Everyone should have a chance to review the form that itemizes fees and other closing costs related to a real estate transaction before the close. If it is not reviewed prior to closing, it may take longer than anticipated. 4. frequently check on repairs required from inspection Frequently check on repairs required from inspection. When sellers don’t make fixes agreed upon after the inspection, these can come up in the last walkthrough of the house. If the problems aren’t handled promptly, a buyer may stall their decision on purchasing the home. Experts urge buyers to pay attention to whether sellers meet terms agreed upon prior to closing.
5. MONETARY GIFTS Monetary gifts from family and friends could enhance the power of purchasing a home. However, bringing someone else’s money, which lenders need to review ASAP in accordance with regulations , can hold up a closing. Get any “outside” money cleared early in the process. 106

SHEPHERD’S GUIDE SPOTLIGHT
PROBLEMS WITH FOR SALE BY OWNER
are you interested in selling your house on your own? there are some factors to consider such as time, money and potential scams. You may think you have all the knowledge to sell your house, but make sure you go over these common roadblocks that arise when you list your home as ‘For Sale By Owner’.
Are you really saving money? The number one reason someone sells their house themselves is to save money. The final price of the house, commission and cost of closing can be negotiated. If you choose to sell without an agent, be sure to do your research so that you can profit from the sale instead of losing money. The National Association of Realtors reported in 2014 that “the typical For Sale By Owner home sold for $210,000 compared to $249,000 for agent-assisted home sales.” Many times, people think if they sell the house themselves they won’t have to pay commission. However, the person buying the house will have to pay 3% commission if they have an agent. If you still choose to sell your house without an agent, it requires a great deal of attention to the get the highest price and avoid litigation after the sale.
Do you really have the time? Selling your home yourself can mean lack of privacy and time. When you don’t hire a realtor, you run the risk of potential home buyers showing up unannounced and not having a special key to enter your house. Realtors make requirements that the potential buyer must schedule an appointment, and can track their history during the entire process of getting your house sold. They will also follow-up with them after they looked around your home, so you don’t have to make more time in your busy schedule to see if they are really interested in purchasing your home. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED? How do you know if your potential home buyer is legitimate? Many buyers feel that they will get great deals on For Sale By Owner homes. They think the seller is inexperienced and won’t list their home for what its truly worth– therefore they practically give it away. 108

WARNING SIGNS YOU NEED A NEW ROOF
1. ROOF AGE How old is your existing asphalt shingle roof? Most experts agree that a typical roof will last between 20 and 25 years. It also depends on whether the old roof was removed and you only have one layer of shingles, and if it is properly ventilated. If the roof was installed over another layer or several layers and it is older than 20 years, chances are you need a new roof. 2. SHINGLES CURLING & BUCKLING Shingles that are curled or buckling are another sign that you may need a new roof. Look at the slopes of your home that get direct sunlight and if you notice the shingles are curling and losing granules, it could mean the shingles are past their life expectancy.
3. ROOFING VALLEYS If your roof shingles are falling apart or missing in this area, it’s a definite sign you need a new roof. Valleys are one of the most important areas of your roof. Snow and rain flow through valleys and into gutters. If the valley is compromised, you could be susceptible to roof leaks. 4. MISSING SHINGLES These are another sign your roof could be failing. Check to see if all of the “tabs” are intact. 5. CHIMNEY FLASHING This is another area to be concerned about. If your flashing consists of roof cement or tar, it may need to be replaced with a long term, water-tight fitting, which would be a metal flashing system.
6. SHINGLE GRANULATES IN GUTTER Look in your gutters to see if they are loaded up with shingle granules. Roofs tend to lose more granules toward the end of their life cycle. 7. DAYLIGHT THROUGH THE ROOF BOARDS Check your attic to see if there is any daylight coming through the roof boards. Also check for moisture in the insulation. 120

As the Holy Spirit takes the things of Christ and reveals them to us, we can expect rich blessings. In order to achieve the widest possible reach, the classes are open to all, including serious students who wish to complete their courses for credit and auditors who sit in on the lectures. In these days of confusion and uncertainty, the student will find encouragement and comfort in the unchanging and authoritative Word of God.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Tim 2:15–KJV) MONDAY & TUESDAY EVENING COURSES New Testament Greek Course Offered
