9 Ways to Improve

Your Property’s Curb Appeal During the Winter

If your property is on the market this winter, you may assume that there’s nothing to do to improve curb appeal until the spring. But there are actually many things you can do to this effect this weekend! Here are nine ways you can improve your property’s curb appeal this winter. 1. MAKE SURE YOUR PROPERTY LOOKS AND FEELS (AND IS) SAFE. Clear snow and ice from the driveway and all walkways, steps, and railings. If you have snowpack, make sure it is properly maintained and easily driveable and walkable.

2. JUST ADD LIGHT. Make sure that your driveway (including the end of your driveway), all pathways, and all entrances are well-lit. In addition to increasing visibility, making your property safer for visitors, added light will help your home feel warmer and more inviting. Supplement your functional lights with ambient string lights (that aren’t too holiday-specific) and lanterns.

3. MAKE YOUR WINDOWS SO CLEAN THAT THEY SPARKLE. You may be prevented by the elements from power-washing your home’s exterior walls, doors, and garage doors until spring comes. But with the winter’s dim light and heavy shadows, keeping your windows clean goes a long way to improving its appearance, indoors and out. The dirt and grime on your windows will be more visible in winter’s light. On the other hand, sparklingly clean windows will help bring more light into your home inside and reflect the white snow outside, brightening visitors’ view of your home.


19

5. FRESHEN UP YOUR FRONT DOOR AND MAILBOX. Repaint your front door in a bright, cheery color that contrasts the winter drab and compliments the color of your home. Think red, yellow, or even a cheerful shade of blue. For extra curb appeal points, repaint your mailbox the same new happy color as your door. 6. SPRUCE UP YOUR FRONT PORCH. Thoroughly sweep your front porch, and add a new doormat and boot scraper. Don’t give your visitors a reason to have to think about how much mud they’re bringing in with them!

7. LIVEN UP YOUR HOME’S EXTERIOR WITH WINTER-FRIENDLY PLANTS. Place potted evergreen plants on your front stoop. Consider adding window boxes, also filled with hardy plants. Top off the effect with a simple but attractive wreath for your front door(s). 8. UPGRADE YOUR HOUSE NUMBERS. Put up new digits that are large, attractive, and easy to read. Not only will prospective buyers appreciate the ease of finding your house, but they will also admire the snazzy font of your house number in the process. 9. PUT UP BIRD FEEDERS. Much like adding potted plants, visiting birds add a pleasant liveliness to your property. Prospective homebuyers that are avid birders will also thank you for this little touch.

4. REMOVE DEBRIS. Removing debris from your steps, walkways, driveway, yard, and gutters will help your property look clean and well-maintained. This includes fallen tree limbs, autumn’s fallen leaves, and pine needles.

13 Tips for a

Successful Cold-Weather Move

Wintertime and early springtime moves in northern Wisconsin and Upper Peninsula Michigan certainly have their challenges. Cold temperatures and slick roads and pathways can add complexities to even straightforward moves right down the road. However, sometimes crucial timing, discounted costs, and other considerations necessitate a cold-weather move, and planning ahead can help to prevent and alleviate the potential headaches that arise when moving during this time of year. Here are 13 tips to ease the stresses of cold-weather moves.

1. MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS CLEAR ON THE SCHEDULE Confirm dates and times with your movers in advance. Gain clarity on what happens if there is a heavy snowstorm on moving day. In what situations will you keep the moving schedule intact? In what situations will you need to reschedule? You won’t be able to keep your moving date if there is a state of emergency and roads are closed to nonessential traffic, so be prepared with a Plan B. Anticipate that there will be delays in the schedule,

and plan extra time to complete every step. Start the move as early in the day as possible. Even though days are lengthening with the approach of spring, they are still short, and it’s best to avoid moving in the dark. 2.CLEAR THE WAY

Make sure your driveway, walkways, steps, and any routes the movers may take to move your belongings—both where you’re moving from and where you’re moving to—are clear. Keep in mind that the movers may need to take a sofa or other large furniture out your back door or even out a window if your front door is too narrow to fit it. So, if possible, clear a path from all doors and windows that the movers may need to use. Do not pack away your salt, sand, and shovels! Have those items on hand so you can clear a path if a snowstorm crops up mid-move. When possible and relevant, notify your landscaping/plowing company when you are moving out and moving in so the presence of the moving truck does not prevent the road or driveway from being cleared. Make sure there is adequate space for the moving truck to park and load/unload, both at your old home and your new home.


21

to the cold—this includes electronics—on the moving truck. Take these items with you in your own vehicle. Even better, place all small electronics and their cords in a sealed waterproof plastic bag before packing them in a box. Have professionals wrap and pack larger electronics (including TVs and even toaster ovens). 6. AVOID A BREAKDOWN Get your car serviced and properly winterized, with all fluids topped off, before making the move. Breaking down on moving day is a thing to be avoided at all costs. 7. WATERPROOF WHEN POSSIBLE Pack as much as possible (especially documents, books, photographs, pillows, tapestries, and other items that are ruined by moisture) in waterproof plastic bins, rather than cardboard boxes. Prevent water and weather damage to wooden furniture, artwork, and mirrors by wrapping them in durable plastic wrap or heavy towels and blankets before they are taken outside. Have extra moving blankets and heavy towels on hand in case it begins to rain or snow mid-move. When possible, delay moving furniture and valuables until the wet weather lets up a little bit.

Protect floors (of both your old home and new home) with tarps and/or cardboard. The last thing you want to think about on moving day is dragging in snow, salt, sand, and mud and ruining your floors. 9. DO NOT STORE DAMP ITEMS

3. LET THERE BE LIGHT - AND HEAT

Avoid storing (whether short-term on the moving truck or longer-term in a storage unit, attic, or basement) anything when it is damp. If it starts snowing or raining while you’re moving, be careful to wipe off everything before shutting in the truck or storage space. Similarly, unpack any boxes that have gotten wet or damp as soon as possible once they are at your new home, and move those wet boxes to the recycling bin, to prevent the boxes from damaging your floors and to prevent the boxes’ contents from being ruined from moisture.

Call your utility company, and confirm that your heat and electricity will be turned on at your new home before you arrive. However, in order to prevent your heat (and money) from going right out the door, turn the heat way down at both the home you’re leaving and your new home. You’ll be moving around so much that you will barely notice the cold. But keep a bathroom or another small room heated with a space heater so you’ll have someplace warm to go if you need to take a little break.

Unpack wrapped items as soon as possible, too, and give them some time to breathe.

4. KEEP THE ESSENTIALS WITH YOU

When hiring movers, document the condition of all items pre- and postmove with photos and notes. This is always a good practice, but it’s especially important during inclement weather.

Even if the plan is for your belongings to arrive at the new home on the same day as they are leaving your old home, things don’t always go as planned. Wear an appropriate coat and lots of layers. And don’t forget waterproof and slip-proof footwear, multiple pairs of gloves (in case the ones you’re wearing get soaked), hats, and warm socks, too. Other items to make sure you have on hand: an additional coat, hand warmers, lots of blankets and towels, a winter emergency kit for your car, a list of contact information for the moving company and emergency personnel, and an ample supply of trash bags and paper towels. 5. BE EXTRA CAREFUL WITH FRAGILE ITEMS When packing, keep in mind that cold temperatures make fragile items more rigid and brittle, so double-pack those items in bubble wrap. When possible, do not pack any item that will be damaged by extended exposure

10. UPWRAP ASAP

11. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING

12. WARM YOUR HANDS AND EASE YOUR MIND Prepare some hot beverages—coffee, tea, cocoa, cider—to create a warm, cheerful atmosphere. Moving day certainly has its stresses, but it is also an exciting time! Take a coffee break to relieve some stress, and offer a mug to your hard-working movers, too. 13. TIP WELL Be prepared with generous tips for the movers. You may have gotten a discounted rate for moving outside of peak season, but moving during the winter and early spring in northern Wisconsin and UP Michigan is especially challenging. Let your movers know you are grateful for their help in keeping your possessions safe and making your move as smooth as possible
