It Only Takes 6 Seconds To Break Into Your Home This Way
How Fast Can a Burglar Break In to Your Garage?
Article from HouseLogic.com
Article by: Deirdre Sullivan
Published: March 14, 2014
Article by: Deirdre Sullivan
Published: March 14, 2014
A recent video that’s gone viral shows how thieves can break in to your garage in just six seconds. But there are ways to prevent it from happening to you.
A video that shows a burglar only needs a wire hanger and six seconds to break in to a garage has received nearly 1.5 million views on YouTube.
We’re not saying this video is to blame, but it’s a good idea to button up when it comes to your attached garage. It’s the fourth most-common entry point for residential break-ins.
What can you do? A few DIYs can secure your garage door:
- Use a 1-by-4-inch piece of wood above your garage door to block a wire hanger.
- Thread a plastic zip tie through the door’s emergency release latch.
- Get alerts from a smartphone garage door controller when your door is opened
Are You Ready for Glow-in-the-Dark Trees?
Are You Ready for Glow-in-the-Dark Trees?
Article From HouseLogic.com
Published: April 16, 2014
They’re no longer science fiction. A team of California biologists has already created glowing plants, and now they’re working on glowing trees.
Glow-in-the-dark trees are more than a glimmer now that a California biologist, Antony Evans, and his colleagues have inserted genes from bioluminescent bacteria into plants. They’ve found that the bioengineered flora grows and glows. It’s the first step to growing glowing trees that can light streets and your front yard, and save energy.
Backers loved the idea of glow-in-the-dark plants. Evans had hoped to raise $65,000 through a Kickstarter campaign. But the Kickstarters pledged over $484,000.
What does this mean to homeowners who want to substitute a glowing tree or rosebush for their porch light? Nothing, yet. Trees take a long time to grow and to demonstrate which bioengineering techniques work and which fizzle. So don’t expect a glowing elm anytime soon.

Jamaican Rice & Peas (Beans)
With every change of season, I send out a jar of spice to all my past real estate clients. This is a recipe for a side dish that was included with the Jamaican Jerk Spice that I sent out in June 2014. It was originally developed by Bobby Flay, but being the type of person that just can't leave a good thing alone, I had to tweak it to make it better. I hope you enjoy it.
Jamaican Rice and Peas
Yield: 4 servings
Total cooking time: about 1 1/2 hours
Ingredients:
Directions:
Place beans, garlic and ginger in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water (about 1 1/2 cups). Bring to a simmer and cook until the beans are tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. When the beans are tender, stir in the coconut milk, green onions, Scotch bonnet, and thyme, and increase the heat to a boil. Stir in the rice, add some salt and pepper, cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid (adding more water if necessary), stirring occasionally to keep the rice from sticking on the bottom of the pan. Transfer to a large serving bowl, taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed, and garnish with sliced green onions.

Protect Your Roof, and You'll Protect Your Home
Ah,
the humble roof. We forget that the single most important structural element in
our home is the roof. It provides shelter for those we love and the things we
value.
It’s
easy to let maintenance slide on something we take for granted. With better
weather days upon us, now is a good time to inspect the roof and make sure it’s
up to the task of protecting your home’s value.
Here
are some crucial elements you’ll want to look for during a home roof inspection:
1.
Are the gutters clean and in good shape? Organic debris building up in your
gutters can cause water to pool and foster an environment for roof rot.
2.
Do you see any curling around the bottom edges? Are there any gaps or holes in
the soffit?
3.
Are there surface cracks in shingles? Cracks warn you of impending
disintegration or separation.
4.
Is the flashing in good shape? Flashing is material installed to prevent the
passage of water into a structure from a joint. This often amounts to shaped
metal around seams for chimneys, vents, etc.
5.
Are there any blisters? This could reveal a defect or possibly insufficient
ventilation.
6.
Is the insulation in good shape? Attic insulation can protect a roof from
warping and reducing overall moisture in your home. Additionally, it helps keep
snow from melting and refreezing, a major contributor to water damage.
7.
Is anything going to fall on the roof? Part of roof maintenance is ensuring
there’s nothing which might cause an undue load on the house. This includes
rotten trees or dangerous overhanging limbs. It’s also a good idea to look at
areas which may be eroded by vegetation or tree contact.
A happy roof makes for a happy home. May these
simple tips help you protect your home for years to come. - Jim Armstrong

Guidelines For Determining Your Home Purchase Price Range
Shopping for a home, especially your first one, can be tough when you’re not sure how much you can
afford. If you've wanted to live the dream of owning your own home, but haven’t
been sure where to start, I've put together a few tips that can make it easier
to get a handle on where to start.

| The American Dream |
1. Tax benefits usually mean you can afford more than your rent.
Interest deductions on taxes typically translate into significant savings. Many
people find they can afford about 33% more than their current rent. To get an
idea of what this might be for you, multiply your current rent by 1.33.
2. A home price three times your gross income is usually a
reasonable place to begin. For example, if your household made $75,000 last
year, you could begin looking in the $225,000 range to start.
3. Know how much you can put down. Ideally, you’d want to have 20%
of the home’s price set aside for a down payment. On a $200,000 home, this
would be roughly $40,000. You can definitely put down less money, as low as 3%, but it may result in
higher interest rates (which translate to higher monthly payments). It will still be better and most likely less expensive than renting. If you are a veteran, you can buy a home with no money down, and still get the lowest interest rates.
4. Determine your “debt factor.” Lenders will often cite the 28/41
rule when it comes to your debt. This means that your mortgage (plus taxes and
insurance) shouldn't exceed 28% of your gross monthly income. Your total
payments (credit card, car loan, etc.) plus your mortgage shouldn't come
to more than 41% of your gross monthly income.
