Happy Father’s Day 2019

“A Good Father Is One Of The Most Unsung, Unpraised,
Unnoticed And Yet One Of The Most Valuable Assets In Our Society.”

State Wide Realty Tip:

How to Make Your Home Summer Ready on a Budget

Light and cool colors say summertime and make your space feel relaxing and comfortable. Aquas, corals, and yellows can be added to a room with pillows, a throw, area rugs or a cool painting.

Use denim in your design: A throw pillow or table cloth in denim is the perfect background or accent piece that adds a classic touch to your décor.

The American Flag/Red, White & Blue: There are plates, cups, napkins, placemats, etc. that have an American flag picture on it. Small flags can line your drive or walkway and even be arranged in flowers inside or out. Patriotic colors are easy to find in the summer and usually at a good price.

Get Creative: Your décor doesn’t have to be bought pieces but maybe items you found that you can put together, paint, glue or whatever to make it an original.

State Wide Realty Tip: How to Save on Cooling Costs.

 

Here are a few ways to beat the heat…

Tip #1: Keeping shades pulled down during the heat of the day can help keep the sun from raising the temperature in the home. Also, using solar screens for your windows or radiant paint barrier for your attic are also effective in blocking the sun’s UV rays.

Tip #2: Adjust the temperature of the thermostat for times when no one is home and at night when it is cooler. This is easier to do now with “smart” thermostats where you can control your settings on your phone or computer.

Tip #3: Make sure that you maintain your cooling unit whether it is a heat pump or window unit. These units usually have filters that need to be cleaned or replaced. Check your owner’s manual for suggested maintenance of your unit. Also, make sure that have any duct work inspected regularly to make sure there are no leaks or clogs.

Tip #4: Whenever possible use fans to help circulate the cool air and keep the temperature down.

Tip #5: Cut back on how much you use the stove: Your oven puts off a lot of extra heat in the home so if you can choose quicker cooking meals or use the stove top or even an outdoor grill it will save you in the long run.

Tip #6: Make sure that doors and windows are properly sealed so your money is not literally going out the window.

These tips will hopefully help your cooling costs as the heat rises!

The history of St. Patrick’s Day is a bit different from the traditions that are done today in America. St. Patrick, the patron Saint of Ireland, is known for converting numerous Irish to Christianity. St. Patrick died on March 15, 431 and the Irish started a St. Patrick’s Day feast and religious festival to honor the day.
          Irish emigrants in the U.S. began using St. Patrick’s Day to celebrate all things Irish, making it more of a secular event than a religious one. The traditions of wearing green, shamrocks, leprechauns and pots of gold have all evolved over the years as symbols of St. Patrick’s Day. Restaurants will dye beer green and some cities will even color a river green. It is said that if you don’t wear green then you are a target for getting pinched. I know some people that don’t wear green on St. Patrick’s Day in hopes that they will get pinched!

          No matter how you celebrate we hope that you have a safe and fun St. Patrick’s Day!

If you are looking for a place to hunt shamrocks, then call State Wide Realty Co at 434-392-6163 or visit our website www.VaStateWideRealty.com.
