Help answer the question about home improvement tips
What are some tips on increasing my home value?I have an older home but the kitchen has new tile floors. All the rooms except bedrooms have hard wood floor. The bedrooms have carpet. I am looking to find some small improvements that are some what low cost to help improve home value.
A simple answer would be to turn off the offending appliance. I for one am happy the government is acknowledging energy efficiency.
all you need for this is a small amount of olive oil, add a small drop to the joints of the bed and it will stop squeaking. Just remember to put an old rag under the part you are oiling so it does´t drip on your floor or carpet
Everything, try ans do with every thing, it will pay of.

i’m guessing this guy does not do hvac work for a living.

Just buy them some donuts and coffee every now and then. Let the contractor handle the money. Tipping is not usually associated with construction.
And why start something that can get out of control. You can at the end of construction have a wrap party.

1) Box up anything smaller than a football you don't absolutely, positively have to use on a day to day basis.
Remove window screens that aren't needed daily to flood your rooms with natural light. Update lampshades and bulbs to make your rooms shine even brighter.
2) Replace worn, dated flooring. Including carpeting and linoleum. Buyer's can not imagine what it will look like, they need to see what it IS like, right now.
3) PAINT everything a neutral color. A lot of buyer's are turned off if their furnishings don't go with the paint colors you have right now. Not to mention, fresh paint kills any odors that you might not even realize you have in the house.
4) Pull up area rugs!! They break up the space, draw too much attention, and make buyer's wonder what you're hiding.
5) Update old lighting fixtures. They will help your house compete with newer homes on the market and they are a cheap and easy do-it-yourself fix.
6) Edit your furnishings down to only what you absolutely need. Arrange furniture at least 8 inches from the walls and angle some for visual interst.
7) Keep in mind, buyer's walk through most listings in about 10 minutes the first time around, so make sure the features of your home come into focus as soon as they walk in the door. That means accessorizing to draw the eye directly to them without overpowering them. IE: Bright greenery on top of a mantel with a couple of shiny candlesticks will serve you better than some eye-popping artwork.
9) Make sure the house is HOSPITAL CLEAN, especially kitchens and bathrooms. Just avoid the hospital smell. Fresh citrus cleaners are better than pine-based solutions.
10) Fresh mulch can boost your curb appeal 100%!! Makes your place look freshly landscaped.
11) Paint your front door a glossy fresh color! Add a bright brass kick plate for added sass. And a bright pot of mature annuals is always a welcoming touch.
This very informative and useful video.
I will have to add it to my list of resources.
Thank you!
the finished product is SO much more satisfying.
I like satin paint. They have satin/matte paints now that clean easily (unlike years ago). High gloss walls look weird with lights and glare coming off of them. If you can paint your ceiling, I would do that with high gloss (we did it in our kitchen with high gloss Kihls since there would be smoke and moisture in there)

Just be honest. Tell your supervisor you feel like you've earned an increase in pay. If you need to, offer to take on added responsibilities or move to a different job position that comes with an increase in pay. Good luck!!!!!
Nice informative visuals..
thanks & love,

Also, I just did what he suggested (take the fan top off to clean) with my old Carrier unit. Tops of fins are very close to the fan housing. I ended up cutting one of my fingers horribly when the fan housing slammed in place. Be careful around coils – they are fragile, and sharp!
Dr. Zarkloffs how to’s for HVAC maint. are must better.

thanks for the tips, I have always sprayed from the outside in. and can still see some of the dirt stuck at the edge of the fin. Next time, I will remoce my fan and do what you do. Thank you.
Other comments aside, please be careful with your garden hose. The way he’s spraying the fins on the coil is right on the edge of dangerous.
The fins on the coil are thin, and can be bent into a solid mass by home water pressure. Then it’s a horrid job to get them separated again so air can flow through–which is the point of the coil in the first place.
