Home remodeling is quite popular especially in this real estate economy where people aren’t too trusting of the buyers’ and sellers’ market. The All My Sons of Salt Lake City know people aren’t too confident of the housing situation just yet, and great interest rates aren’t enough to persuade them. So many are opting for upgrades, from kitchen remodeling to new paint to bathroom upgrades, upgrades are definitely in. The one interesting thing in the bathroom area is that the toilet bowl rarely gets changed. Showers are changed, from different showerheads to shower doors, even shelving or tiles are added. Sinks are also changed, some become more modern while others come encased in a vanity and so on. But the toilet bowl is almost always white porcelain. The local Salt Lake City movers wonder why? This functional bathroom accessory has been around since the 26th century BC. They’ve changed a little through the years, with innovations like the dual flush water savings products, but the toilet bowl has stayed pretty much the same. Porcelain which is a mix of clay and water do a great job of covering all the inner workings of the toilet. Porcelain is sanitary and is easy to clean. The Salt Lake City moving specialists also found out it’s more resistant to liquid and bacteria. Plus, it’s less expensive than plastic. When the weight of a toilet bowl matters like on a plane or a boat, other materials are used such as carbon-fiber rendering a toilet to only weigh 10.9 pounds.

Summer is in full swing, so people are spending a lot of their time in their backyards, barbecuing and enjoying their outdoor furniture sets. Outdoor decor comes in so many different shapes and sizes as well as different materials. Some are more luxurious, while others are more practical. You can have upholstered sets, plastic sets, even teak and wicker. But how do you clean outdoor? Sure you can let the rain do all the work, but that’s not always efficient. For seating and other furniture made out of wicker and teak, the local Salt Lake City moving specialists suggest you use a soft scrub brush dampened with water and a mild oil-based soap such as Murphy Oil Soap. It helps if you maintain the cleanliness every 3 weeks or so to prevent from any dirt build up from covering the wicker’s crevices. Wrought-iron and aluminum furniture are very easy to clean, the All My Sons of Salt Lake City say just clean with a dampened cloth of water and mild dishwashing detergent. Then rinse off. If you need to remove scuff marks, use water and tad of Soft Scrub and scrub gently with the dampened cloth. The Salt Lake City movers remind you not to use any abrasive cleaners or brushes, because you’ll end up scratching more.

The kitchen is the heart of every home. It’s also the number one remodeling project. People replace cabinetry, flooring and countertops. But the local Salt Lake City movers remind you that lighting is very important in the kitchen. You have to have enough of it so that you can cook comfortably, maybe even have the children do their homework at times and read recipes easily. At the same time, it’s important to be able to dim the lights for a different mood, maybe when you’re entertaining or having a romantic dinner for two. People typically spend their money upgrading the kitchen with top-notch appliances and other accessories but rarely does lighting come into the picture.

The local Salt Lake City moving team suggests you think about chandeliers, besides lighting they also double as a decorative piece. Recessed lights spaced throughout your kitchen is great for ambient lighting. They illuminate a room softly, and you also dim them should you need less light at a particular time. Under cabinet lighting such as fluorescent lights are perfect for food preparation. If you have an island area or a kitchen table that your children use for doing their homework or arts and crafts projects, make sure to have a few table lamps they can use for extra light.

The local Salt Lake City movers know that one of the main reasons people move is not necessarily for more living space but for more storage space. And three researchers have set out to study just how much “stuff” Americans have and how it’s the key to our modern life’s stresses. They studied 32 Los Angeles families and published a book including photos of the paraphernalia they found such as fridge magnets. Just as we all suspect, after a few years in one house, families collect more “stuff” that their house can contain. Personal items take over every part of the house and garages are used as storage instead of for cars, bedrooms also double as offices, living rooms filed with children’s toys become playrooms and so on. The next step is moving to a bigger place that can contain all of that “stuff” and the cycle happens again a few years later. The Salt Lake City moving specialists learned that another child to a family produces 30% more “stuff” before the child even reached kindergarten. The researcher’s study found that generally fathers and older children were proud of their things but the mothers reported substantial stress. They said it was hard to find time to sort, organize and manage all these things. These possessions were a visible sign of unaccomplished work, challenging the idea of a tidy home.

So the Salt Lake City movers wonder does your “stuff” stress you out?

According to the latest news, borrowers who have lost their homes due to improper foreclosure could get up to $125,000 plus any lost equity if there are errors in their case. Only about 194,000 of 4.4 million eligible borrowers have asked to have their foreclosure cases reviewed. This review, the Salt Lake City movers learned, will examine whether the borrowers were unfairly foreclosed on, if they were improperly denied loan modifications or if they were the victim of other loan servicing mistakes. In the end, the review is there to check whether or not the errors caused financial harm. Up until now, people didn’t know how much they were going to be compensated if there was evidence found to prove the wrongdoing. The Salt Lake City moving specialists suggest this might be the main reason for which man people didn’t ask for their foreclosure cases to be reviewed. Now that people know how high the compensation can be, a larger number of people might come forward. Some people might even get their home back if the home isn’t sold to a third party. Any borrower with a home in the foreclosure process during 2009-2010 is eligible for this free review. The Salt Lake City movers also found out that even if compensation is accepted, homeowners can still sue their loan servicers.

Sure, house prices have dropped but there are still a few cities where people still can’t afford to buy their first home. Even with a great credit, great down payment and great interest rates.

Summer is right around the corner so many people are stressing about spending their weekends doing backbreaking work, mowing their lawns and planting flowers to give it that curb appeal. But experts say that you can let the grass grow a little longer to actually make it healthier. The Salt Lake City movers learned that taller grass will hold moisture better and it shades out the germinating weeds. Every time you mow the lawn, you want to make sure you don’t cut more than a third of the grass blade. To minimize even more of the work you do on your yard, you can make the plants work for you. For example, if there’s a specific area on your lawn that’s always wetter, plant something that like that type of soil. It will soak up some of that wetness.

The Salt Lake City moving specialists learned it’s always best to go with regional plants that are native to where you live and the soil’s conditions. If you customize your lawn with outdoor living spaces or outdoor accessories, you might be able to save on some of the labor hours as well as water. Outdoor furniture, a fountain or even a gazebo, that eats up some of that green space. The All My Sons of Salt Lake City wishes you a great summer full of fun and family quality time.

Thanks to a large inventory of homes nationwide and lower-priced homes, many these days are opting to purchase a house versus continuing on the renting bandwagon. But the All My Sons of Salt Lake City movers remind you that buying a house is a tad more complicated than just finding the perfect, white-picketed fenced, two-door garage investment. Besides a finding a professional realtor, having a down payment and endless hours of research on web listings online, you’ll need a pre-approval letter so that you can assess what type of home your should be shopping around for.
