The Old Farmers Almanac - Fall 2020
Posted by on
Autumn Equinox - September 22, 2020
Tuesday’s equinox will happen at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time, when the sun crosses the equator, heading south. It is one of two that happen every year, on the first days of spring and fall.
On the equinoxes, hours of daylight and darkness are nearly (but not exactly) equal. They are the midpoints between the solstices, which happen on the first days of winter and summer – when daylight hours are at their minimum and maximum respectively.
The days will continue to get shorter until the 2020 winter solstice on Dec. 21, which is also the first day of winter.

Home Inspections: What to Know and Why You Need One

Home Inspections: What to Know and Why You Need One
As a buyer, home inspections are an important part of the buying process. It is not mandatory to have one, but it is in your best interest that you know exactly what you are getting from a professional level. Home inspections can cost a few hundred dollars, but it will be the best money you will spend.
The last thing you want is to be a home owner that has issues occurring a month or so down the road that could have been prevented or brought to your attention prior to purchasing the home.
A home inspector is your ally as they will go into the house and look for things you are not aware of. Inspectors are well- versed in what regulations and standards exist in your city or town, and are keen…

Home Energy Saving Tips that Won't Leave You Shivering or Sweating
Posted by Billy Peshke on
If you want to reduce your home energy costs, the easiest way is to turn the
thermostat up or down. In fact, you probably won't notice a difference of 2
degrees either way — and the savings can be substantial.
However, if you want to lower your bill even further each month, here are
some additional tips that are relatively easy to implement.
- Plug or fix the drafts. Even in newer homes, air filtration can occur at
windows and doors. So, check around your home for drafts. Windy or
cold days are the best days to check. Then, get any drafts you find
repaired or, at least, temporarily plugged.
- Check the attic. Heat rises and can escape through the attic. So, once
a year, check the attic insulation for thin or bare spots. The insulation
should be even…

Posted by Kevin Klein on
Every year, RemodellingMagazine’s Cost vs. Value Report* reveals the average cost of common home renovations and compares them to the home’s final sale price (as estimated by qualified real estate agents).

How to Find a Home that Has your “Big Three”
Posted by Billy Peshke on
How do you find the home of your dreams within a price range you can afford?
Most buyers start by making a “wish list”. But, it’s easy to get frustrated when
you have a long wish list and expect you’ll be able to find a home with every
one of those features. You might, for example, have “mature backyard tree” as
number 23 on your list, and become disappointed when an otherwise ideal
property doesn’t have one.
But when you really think about it, your ideal home probably comes down to
just three or four core characteristics. For example:
1. Nice, safe, family-oriented neighbourhood.
2. Good-sized backyard.
3. Four bedrooms and two baths.
Sure, there might be other features you were hoping for, such as “move in
ready”, or that big tree, but your “big…
