HOUSE WISE
Say Yes To The Home Inspection
With so many homes selling “as-is” these days, a home inspection is truly a must-have. Why? There is simply no better way to get to know a home, learn about any issues and understand its features. The inspector will objectively evaluate the home’s major systems and components and note their findings in your inspection report. Accompanying the inspector during the process is strongly encouraged so you have the opportunity to ask questions along the way.
Already settled into your new home? Even after the sale has closed, a home inspection will provide peace of mind about the home’s condition and safety.
1. Learn about any major defects or damage that will need to be addressed. Things like a new roof or repairing a foundation are costly but necessary.
2. The home inspection can reveal potentially dangerous conditions, including problems with the electrical system or a malfunctioning furnace.
3. A home inspection is also the best way to get to know the general condition of the home. Is the electrical system up to date? Is the furnace on its last legs? Is the attic properly vented? These are just a few more examples of how buyers can benefit from an inspection.
Contact your local Pillar To Post home inspector to learn more and schedule an inspection.
HOME & GARDEN
Ready, Set, Garden!
Has poring over seed catalogs sparked your spring spirit? Here’s our handy checklist to make sure you’re ready for a new season in the garden.
• As soon as weather allows, rake up winter debris and old mulch from planting areas.
• Remove any plants that have died over the winter. But first make sure they aren’t just dormant!
• Have mower blades, pruners, loppers, hoes and other tools sharpened.
• Read up on how and when to prune fruit trees for best production.
• Pulling weeds when they’re still small makes the job easier.
• Add compost to planting beds for better soil and healthier plants.
• Check the irrigation system for leaks and broken sprinkler heads and emitters.
• If you don’t have a “smart” irrigation controller, consider getting one to help conserve water.
• Sketch out your planting plan for summer crops and flowers.
With these tasks completed, you’ll be ready for a beautiful and healthy garden.
