Surviving the Sub-zero Temperatures at Home in Ohio

Surviving the Sub-zero Temperatures at Home in Ohio
Tips on surviving the frigid cold at home in Ohio during the Winter months:

• With sub-zero temperatures, Dayton Power and Light in Ohio released information that power failures are possible in high winds, ice and freezing rain conditions. The company recommends turning off all heat-producing appliances, like stoves, in case the home is vacant when power is restored.
• Prepare a sub-zero temperatures winter storm kit with a radio, bottled water, non-perishables, flashlights, and first aid items. 
• Create a plan, especially if medical equipment needs to continuously operate. Inform DP&L of your medical equipment and you may get priority restoration. Visit ready.gov, nod.org or redcross.org for assistance in emergency planning.
• Plan for your pets, by maintaining fresh, unfrozen water, straw or bedding for insulation.
• Clear gutters and cut away branches that could fall on structures or power lines during a storm.
• Know how to shut off water valves in case a pipe bursts and make sure fire extinguishers are on hand and everyone knows how to use them.
• Report an outage or downed power lines to DP&L by calling 877-4-OUTAGE. Avoid contact with power lines on your property and stay in your car if lines fall onto it.
• Never use a generator inside, like basements, garages or even on a porch. More information is available at http://www.dpandl.com/education/safety-tips/generator-safety/
• Food in a refrigerator stays cold for four hours, if the door remains closed. Freezers keep items cold 24-48 hours, depending on use and fullness. Food safety information is available at http://www.dpandl.com/education/safety-tips/food-safety/
• Have a working carbon monoxide detector when using a fireplace.
• For safety reasons, avoid areas where utility crews are working.

Stay Warm!

Your Summer Home Garden

I have a black thumb, not a green thumb. Everything I plant in my home garden usually dies, so I can use all the tips I get! I thought I'd share the garden advice I received in the real estate office today from two fellow Realtors. Apparently, slugs and snails cannot tolerate caffeine. Spraying coffee on your home garden repels these pests. Use the coffee in moderation to avoid harming your plants though!

Ohio and Tomatoes

You may have noticed the "no tomatoes here" signs at local restaurants. The reason - salmonella. Ohio already has 3 reported cases and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it ain't over. Nationally, there are 383 reported cases as of yesterday. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says it may be tricky to trace the source of the outbreak. Mexico and Florida could be the culprits, the FDA reports. The good news is cherry tomatoes are safe!

What Sells A Home?

Everyone knows kitchens and baths sell homes, but is it also price? Marketing? Advertising, and what type? Social networking i.e. Active Rain? Utilizing technology such as text messaging? Branding? Open Houses? Listing in the MLS? The truth is, I don't know. But what if you chose a Realtor that DIDN'T do all those things?

What do you think sells a home?
