Tips for Avoiding the Common Cold

There may not be a cure for the common cold, but there are ways to limit your chances of infection and alleviate suffering. Following are some tips:

Exercise More - Research indicates that regular exercise decreases your chance of catching a common cold by nearly half.

Let the Sun Shine In - Sunshine is a natural source of vitamin D, which helps reduce the risk of both the common cold and the influenza virus. According to researchers, people with higher levels of vitamin D are much less likely to suffer from seasonal illnesses, including colds, flu and even seasonal affective disorder.

Wash and Rinse - Frequent hand washing, combined with a quick gargle and even the use of a nasal rinse, can dramatically reduce the rates of infection. Use a saltwater solution for both the gargle and nasal rinse to help eliminate sore throats and sinus pressure.

Tips for Conducting a Home Energy Audit

Today's typical family living in a 3 bedroom, 2-story home spends about $2,500 in energy costs each year. To better manage those costs, consider conducting your own energy audit.

It's easy.

First of all, find out how much energy is being used, by keeping a log and reading your meter each week.

At the end of 4 weeks, add up the kilowatts used and divide the total by the number of days to get your average daily usage.

Once the audit is complete and changes are made, monitor usage again.

The next step is to walk around the house and check the following:
Inside:

• Any air leaks and gaps at baseboards and where the walls and ceilings end up joining.
• Air leaks around electrical outlets, switch plates, window frames and baseboards
• Gaps and cracks in weather stripping around doors, fireplace dampers, attic hatches and air conditioners
• Gaps around pipes and wires
• Air leaks from mail slots
• Rattling from windows and doors, and daylight leaking in around frames

Outside:

• Air leaks where two building materials meet
• Improperly caulked doors, windows and outdoor outlets
• Cracks in the mortar, foundation or siding
• Missing insulation in the home's structure
• Improperly functioning heating/cooling equipment
• Filters that need replacing on forced-air furnaces
• Missing insulation on water heaters, hot water pipes and furnace ducts

Real Estate Resolutions: Tips for Sellers

When a new year starts, many people resolve to lose weight, give up smoking and spend more time with the family. Others add seeling the house to their list of resolutions. Following are eight tips to help you decide whether or not to sell, and how to go about it:

1. Take a good hard look at your home. What are its strengths and weaknesses? Make a list.

2. Watch for sale signs in your neighborhood and go to open houses. Start thinking about how your home compares.

3. What have other similar houses in the area sold for? Most homeowners are a bit unrealistic about what their house is worth. You want to be on the same wavelength as your real estate agent when the time comes to set a price.

4. Research the market. How long do houses stay on the market in your neighborhood? Is it a hot market for sellers right now?

5. Know what it will cost to sell your house. Will you pay for a home inspection, legal costs, or renovations?

6. Spruce up the house. You know you'll have to do it eventually, so why not present your house in its best light now? De-clutter and finish uncompleted do-it-yourself projects. Outside, tidy up the property, sweep the steps and change the light bulbs. It will allow others to see your house in a new light.

7. Select a real estate agent who is familiar with your neighborhood and ask friends and neighbors for recommendations. Word-of-mouth is the best way to source a realtor with a proven track record.

8. Take your time. Selling your home for the best price may take longer than you anticipate. Don't add to the pressure by setting unrealistic time limits.
