7 Steps to prepare Your Home for Spring Selling
Preparing Your Home for Spring Selling?
Step One: Exterior. To begin, start by getting organized. Grab a pad of paper and pen. Then, take a stroll around your house. Make notes about anything that’s not perfect. Take your time because you are probably accustomed to the imperfections of your home since you’ve walked by them so many times. Perhaps you should take a friend or neighbor with you. Remember, this process shouldn’t take that long, as you are not fixing the issues right now, but simply identifying them. Are the stepping-stones broken? Are there any gutters that need to be repositioned or cleaned out? Do the bushes need trimmed? Does the house need power-washed or painted? Think of a few flowers that would brighten up your home for the spring.
Step Two: Interior. You are going to do the same thing with the interior of your house as you did with the exterior. Walk through each room slowly. Ask yourself a few questions. Are the walls dirty? Does the ceiling need a fresh coat or paint? Are the majority of people going to feel comfortable in this room? If not, what needs to change? Is there simply too much in the room? Decide what can be stored until you move into your new home (furniture, clothing, artwork, pictures, shoes, books). Are the doors of each room aligned and in decent shape? How about the carpets? Have any animals destroyed the area rugs? Does water leak anywhere – faucets, pipes, shower head?
Step Three: Organize and Schedule. Now, sit down and start making a new list. Figure out the repairs that you can afford and make list of things you need. Do you need any new door handles? A few gallons of paint, a few brushes, and a roller? Try to get the larger repairs like plumbing and heating problems fixed before the Comparative Marketing Analysis to give the house a higher suggested listing price. Decide which contractors need to be called and set a date for repair. Then, realistically schedule when you are going to take the time to do the repairs. Choose anywhere from one to five a day, depending on the severity of the job. Do not overload yourself, but do not waste time. Try to schedule a few make up days, as unexpected events always occur and push you behind schedule.
Step Four: Clean. You can also start spring-cleaning your home at this time as well. Buyers actually react more negatively toward dirt than clutter. They assume that if you have let the cleaning go, that you’ve also neglected larger maintenance issues. So, do not just give a quick wipe down, thoroughly clean your home. Maybe you should hire a professional to give your home the jump-start it needs to be maintained easily. But, take this step seriously.
Step Five: Clear Horizontal Surfaces. Every horizontal surface such as windowsills, tables, night stands, dressers, coffee tables, counter tops, desktops, and sinks should be totally cleared off and thoroughly cleaned. Why? The less stuff you have around, the larger your rooms look, making the room open, inviting, and deceivingly larger. Once everything is removed, you can go back and add a decorative touch to random surfaces – but no more than one or two things. Fight the urge to put back picture frames and unnecessary candles. In the kitchen, try to keep only one or two things on the counters, such as the microwave and coffeemaker. Train yourself not to drop your belongings around the house, but rather put them away immediately.
Step Six: Buy a clutter collector. These large, flat, and plastic containers can be purchased at any hardware store. When you are told last minute that someone is on their way to see the house, you simply run around the house and throw anything out of place in this box – the mail, the kids homework, book bags, brief cases, socks, shoes, jackets, etc. You can then simply slide the box under a bed to show off your house.
Step Seven: Focal Points. Once your home has been cleaned, repaired, uncluttered, take another walk around the interior of your home. Decide what the best feature of each room is. If the bedroom has a walk-in closet, make sure that the doors are open for them to explore this luxury. If the living room has a nice view, make sure the windows are clean and are decorated in a way that attracts people’s attention. If the kitchen has a special set-up or feature, make sure that people will somehow be able to see that feature without hearing a sales pitch. If a room doesn’t have a focal point, try to create one. For bedrooms, try coordinating the comforter, area rug, and curtains. In the bathroom, invest in a few new towels and soap dispenser. If you have a fireplace, try to make that focal point, as most people enjoy that asset.
Well, you now have a lot to do. Good luck. Try to follow the laid-out steps if possible because they are prioritized for you.

Could this be true, really - a free cell phone and minutes for low income households
When I first heard about SafeLink Wireless, I was in bed watching television. Could this be true, really - a free cell phone and minutes for low income households? To my surprise SafeLink Wireless is 100% legitimate and is actually run through the government funded LifeLine program!
As a matter of fact, if you receive food stamps, cash assistance, section 8, Social Security Income, Medicaid, or the free lunch program, than you will most likely be accepted into this LifeLine benefit program from SafeLink Wireless. You may already be familiar with LifeLine as many low income residence use it to get discounted land line service, but with SafeLink Wireless you actually pay nothing at all. The cell phone service is completely free to you!
Benefits vary by state, and yes, the minutes in which you would receive each month are very minimal. However, your minutes do roll over if you do not use them, so if you only use your phone for emergencies, you will rack up a lot of minutes in your account, which may be used at your leisure. If you do go over your allotted minutes, you may purchase more air time minutes easily at WalMart, Kmart or any other store which sells TracPhone air time cards.
The number of minutes allotted to each family, like I stated is minimal. But to give you an idea, here in MD, you could receive a free phone (no commitment) as well as 64 minutes a month from SafeLink. Now I know that's not a lot of minutes, but think about how great this is for seniors to keep in their car, or a single mom who gets a flat tire. There are almost no more pay phones to be found since the cell phone seemed to lessen the need. However, there are many people, most low income, who do not have a cell phone and have no way of communication in an emergency. Here are dozens of situations in which that simple 64 minutes a month could be found handy, practical and even life saving. In a power outage, or when a low income residence gets their utilities shut off, how do they even make arrangements to get it turned on? It is also vital for everyone, regardless of income to be able to have a reachable working phone, and SafeLink Wireless provides just that.
SafeLink Wireless is pretty new and is not available in all states or areas at the moment, however, SafeLink is actively pursuing more areas trying to put a cell phone in the hands of those who can not afford one; yet can not afford to be with out one.
So please, look into SafeLink if not for you than anyone else who you may feel would benefit from a free cell phone, with free minutes each month!

Do you Remember Captain Chesapeake?
I was thinking back to the days of my childhood when you finished school and headed home to watch great programs like Speed Racer, Land of the lost and Captain Chesapeake. I still remember Mondy the Sea monster, Andrew Claws the lion and Bruce the bird. I always wanted to see that bird!!! Nonetheless, I hope this triggers a few memories of days past.
By the mid '70's, "Captain Chesapeake" boasted more than 50,000 card-carrying "crewmembers," and the station received as many as 3,000 letters to Lewis a week. At the end of each program, the good captain would encourage his youthful viewers to "be someone important--be yourself," then he followed with his signature sign-off, "so loooonnnnggggg
The Captain Chesapeake show began with the poem: "A shipwrecked sailor found himself in a plight. Lost at sea he was really a sight. He swam and swam 'til he thought he'd die, when a wondrous sight appeared to his eye. A derelict boat that saved his life and put an end to his watery strife."
The theme song was the Bob Crosby Tune "Stumbling" by The Three Suns.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Captain Chesapeake was a morning and afternoon children's show on WBFF (channel 45) in Baltimore, Maryland hosted by George A. Lewis ( born:November 24, 1926, died:December 18, 2000 at Lutherville-Timonium, Maryland) who portrayed "Captain Chesapeake". The show aired from April 1971 - 1990. Lewis hosted a similar show, Captain Pitt on WPTT (channel 22) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (which is now WPMY and is owned and operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc., the same group that owns and operates Baltimore's WBFF). Lewis began his career as the children's host of the Steamboat Bill and Mr. Cartoon shows on WSAZ-TV in Huntington, West Virginia from 1957 until 1970. Lewis also acted as Ghost Host on WBFF's late night horror movie show, and did news on WBFF prior to 1988.
