a conversation-starter, a decorative focal point, and a functional n tool to extend the number of seasons in which outdoor entertaining can take place. Place the re wisely and with concern for safety. It should be out of the way of foot trafc, but central enough so that it can be a gathering point. * Invest in quality outdoor furniture. T Todays yards are extensions of a homes interior. Guests no longer want to sit on uncomfortable metal or plastic furniture. There are many different outdoor sofas and chairs f that are as stylish as they are comfortable. These pieces can be matched to the decor inside your home for a cohesive look. * Accessorize. Consider the creature comforts of indoors and mimic that outdoors. Dont shy away from hanging artwork on an exterior wall or using urns or pottery to decorate the space. W Weather-resistant materials ensure everything from clocks to televisions can be used outdoors. Think about having an entire set of serving dishes and other entertaining items for the outdoors. When refurbishing outdoor entertaining areas, emphasize comfort, safety and functionality.

The McDowell County Board of Realtors met Tuesday, February 5. Bill T y Gifford, of Gifford & Martin, from Greensboro, was the guest speaker. His r topic was oil & gas disclosure forms as pertaining to residential property. y The state legislature passed this mandate in 2012 to protect the buyer. r This also applies to all new construction.

condominium or apartment, be sure the condo association allows it. Discuss the situation with an association representative to see just what is and isnt allowed. In some instances, a Is It Allowed? contract will stipulate that a property Its not uncommon for young people to can be rented, but only through the purchase an apartment before purchasing associations own management team, a home but keep the apartment once they which can cost you, the owner, money. do, in fact, buy their first home. Thats often done with the intention of renting out Will You Do It Y Yourself? the property once a home is purchased. While some condo associations insist While thats a sound financial plan, its their management team handle things, not necessarily allowed. Before deciding others dont. Still, that doesnt mean doing to rent out a property, be it a it yourself is easy or even desirable.
hile the economic downturn hit many people rather hard over the last year, some people have been able to weather the storm and actually thrive in the current economic climate. Real estate investors who managed to keep their holdings under control, for instance, have experienced somewhat of a financial windfall as the economy regressed. This may be due to victims of foreclosure seeking rental properties or more and more people steering clear of committing to a home of their own and choosing instead to rent. But renting out a property isnt as easy as 1-2-3, even in a market where more people are looking to rent than buy. In fact, vacancies in larger cities such as New York and Los Angeles are so Y commonplace that rents and stipulations such as realtor fees have begun to drop, albeit slightly. Still, the current climate could benefit those with a spare property ready to rent. There are just a few things to consider before advertising.
Owners can hire a real estate management group independently that will handle things related to renting, such as finding tenants, running credit checks, even maintenance and handling complaints. Of course, this will cost owners money. But for those who simply have busy schedules and an extra property theyre not yet ready to sell, hiring a management group can save you the headaches of being a landlord while still affording you to earn extra money on the property. Furnished or Unfurnished? Another thing to consider is whether or not to rent the property furnished or unfurnished. Chances are, if youve been living in the property recently, theres plenty of furniture available to rent it furnished. Of course, this means youll have to purchase furniture for your new place. Oftentimes, the financial benefits of furnished versus unfurnished is a toss-up. Some renters prefer an unfurnished place, while others would pay more per month if the place is furnished. One option is to lease the apartment as Furnished or Unfurnished. This keeps the apartment on all potential renters radar, and if you settle on a tenant who prefers it unfurnished, you can always rent a storage unit for a small monthly fee to store any leftover furniture you might want to keep.

Easter is a time when Christian families gather to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Religious customs abound on Easter, but a number of secular traditions have emerged as well. Perhaps the most popular secular tradition associated with Easter is the coloring of Easter eggs. Easter egg dyeing kits emerge in early spring. Consumers have a variety of alternatives to these kits at their disposal. There are some people who desire more environmentally friendly Easter eggs, so here n are some creative and greener ideas for coloring eggs this year.
d ed e STE eg S y A R g
Egg kits are sold with this green material. When Easter is over, the corn starch eggs can be put out for composting. Foam-type eggs may be dissolved with water.
Materials for this house located in Crosscreek f t Development were provided b Hawkins Lumber Co. by We carry a complete line of lumber, building materials, r pressure treated lumber and kitchen cabinets. r r t
purchase wooden eggs that can be painted and decorated however you desire. The wooden eggs will be durable and can be stored away for use each and every year. Because they are made of wood, a naturally recyclable material, they are easy on the environment. n
Drained eggs Those interested in using the yolks and albumen from the eggs for cooking can poke small holes into the eggs and drain them. Then the remaining eggshells can be decorated and put on display.
