I’m all the time reading on ARA for great tips and ideas.  When I read the article below I thought it might be useful to others out there.  I really like the information about the drapes, we installed these in our bedroom at the beginning of summer to help keep the afternoon heat out and they really worked and helped cut down our cooling expenses.  This year I am purchasing 6 more for the office.  I found only one problem with them, they make the room really dark so it makes me want to take a nap way to often.  Hope you enjoy the following article.

(ARA) – Just as many of us have taken on extra work to make ends meet in this economy, everything we buy now must serve a dual purpose as well. It makes sense to spend your hard-earned dollars on items that not only do the job intended for them, but that also save you money in a variety of ways.

Not sure how to make money-maximizing, dual-purpose purchases? Here are a few tips:

* Make decor decisions that not only upgrade your enjoyment of your home, but that improve its energy efficiency as well. For example, thermal drapes in decorator colors will add punch to your decor and will also help retain heat. An energy-efficient electric stove can create a warm ambiance and help save on energy bills as well. You’ll find desirable options at www.seventhavenue.com.

* Drop your gym membership, which likely costs you $50 a month, in favor of creating a home gym.

* Skip the spa for aromatherapy, hair removal and manicures or pedicures. You can do all those things at home – with a spa-like experience – by obtaining the right devices. An electrolysis pen does home hair removal quickly and easily – and without the cost and inconvenience of going to the spa.  A pair of Pedi Couture Sandals, available at www.seventhavenue.com, will sooth and relax your feet while gently separating the toes to make a self-pedicure simple.

Most of the time home buyers start their conversation off on the phone with us like this “I’m buying a new home, how much does a home inspection cost?”

All to often I want to tell them that their first concern should not be about how much it cost, but about how much it can cost them if they end up hiring “Cheap Charlie.”  I know that there are several home inspectors out there lowering their prices to all most nothing, and while we have run specials and deals, I am proud to say that even when a deal was going on our average home inspection still took four to five hours.  We never make you stand around and wait at the house for your home inspection report.  We go over the major items with you and point them out if you haven’t attended the home inspection and then we upload the report later on.  This is after we have time to go over and make sure their are no errors.  Time is valuable and you don’t have time to be standing around waiting on the home inspection report.

But back to Cheap Charlie, here recently I have heard stories from real estate agents that tell me their client had a home inspector there and he was there for two hours and really didn’t find a lot.  Is this what you want, or do you want someone who is going to be thorough, giving you the ultimate negotiating power and keeping you from buying the money pit! Don’t assume that the home you are thinking of buying is in good condition.  Even new homes have issues, just ask me and I’ll be glad to tell you the different items I have found on brand new homes.

Your agent can recommend someone, but the choice is yours, “Cheap Charlie” or “Thorough David” you decide.  If you want a thorough North Georgia home inspection for a reasonable price call us today at 404-788-2581, you’ll be glad you did.

Atlanta home inspector, David Lelak provides Atlanta home inspections and he often runs across some things that are quite humorous. During this Atlanta home inspection David runs across Bubba the plumber and his use of duck tape, you know the old saying if it can’t be fixed with duck tape it can’t be fixed. Well so often it can’t be fixed. lol This home inspection item will definately be written up on the home inspection report for the potential home buyers. 
So heres the video and if you want a thourough and quality home inspection give us a call at 404-788-2581.  There is a lot of people out there every day that don’t realize that they need a home inspection done on even the old homes let alone on the new ones.  Don’t let this be you.
