Shocking news about lightning

By Jason Gadbois State Farm® agent

ightning brightens the sky and provides a spectacular display of Mother Nature’s power. This awesome phenomenon also causes more deaths and property destruction in a typical year than floods, hurricanes and tornadoes combined.

L

Don’t underestimate the dangers of lightning The threat of lightning danger can occur anytime, but the most likely time for damaging thunderstorms is June through August.

The early spring is also a vulnerable period.

Scientifically speaking, lightning is the visible discharge of electrical energy. It is often accompanied by thunder, which is a sonic boom created by the same electrical discharge.

This electrical energy seeks a path to ground and that path can be your home, a tree in your yard, or even you! The key to your protection is diverting that discharge to a grounding path away from people and property.

A lightning protection system

has two objectives: Provide a direct path for the lightning to follow to the ground and prevent destruction, damage, injury or death as it travels that path.

Many of you are likely aware of lightning rods. Contrary to typical references to these devices, lightning rods do not attract lightning. They also cannot prevent lightning from striking your home.

What they are designed to do is

provide that safe path to the ground for the electrical current.

Rods are just one part of an effective lightning protection system. If you’re serious about lightning protection, State Farm recommends you have a qualified contractor evaluate your home, explain the many parts of a total system and perform the installation.

While lightning’s first target may be your house, there’s also a

need to protect the property inside your home from the electrical surges that accompany a lightning strike. Surge protection devices installed at the main electrical panel or meter and at outlets serving electronics can often prevent these sudden spikes in electrical current from damaging TVs, VCRs, computers and other expensive electronic devices.

Personal safety first Most importantly, protect yourself. If lightning is present, seek shelter inside an enclosed building or vehicle, stay away from electrical appliances and avoid using the telephone. If you cannot find shelter, stay close to the ground in a low-lying area, avoiding isolated trees, high ground, bodies of water or large open areas. If someone is injured, administer first aid if you are qualified to do so and call for emergency help. You cannot be “shocked” by someone who has been hit by lighting.

For more information on this and other safety issues related to your home and family, please stop by my office or visit statefarm.com.

Liz’ Tips

Selling your home Thinking of selling your home? Sitting on the fence? Not sure where to start? It’s one of the biggest decision you’ll make but here are some things you should consider. It may help you get off the fence.

Liz’ Tips Tips Liz’s By: Liz Quinn of Design’in-Mind

by LizImpact Quinn Maximum with Minimal Investment Brockville, Brought to Ontario you by The Homefinder

impressions. - It is estimated that more than half of all houses are sold before the buyers even get out of their cars!

Stand across the street from your house and review it's curb appeal.

What can you do to improve that very first impression? Are there weeds growing in the interlock? Are the shingles curled up? Have the shrubs overtaken the yard? Is the garage door lopsided?

Pricing Your Home to Sell This is a homeowners “mini-guide” to selling a home for the most money in the shortest time.

Getting to know your Market A comparative market analysis is an indicator of what today's buyers are willing to pay for a home. It compares the market activity of homes similar to yours in your neighbourhood. Those that have recently sold represent what buyers are willing to pay. The homes currently listed for sale represent the price sellers hope to obtain. Those listings that have expired were generally overpriced or poorly marketed.

It is essential to prepare a comparative market analysis for your home based on the most current market information and to establish the proper list price for your home.

The Benefits of Pricing it Right Many sellers believe that if they price their home high initially, they can lower it later.

Often, when a home is priced too high, it experienced little activity. Gradually the price will come down to market value, but by that time it's been for sale too long and some buyers will be wary and reject the property.

On occasion, the price is dropped below the market value because the seller runs out of time and the property sells for less than it's worth Preparing to Have the Home Inspected by a Professional One step which is inevitable in the home selling process is a visit from a professional home inspector. The following are steps which should be taken to ensure your inspection is a success.

It is a good idea to be aware ahead of time of any serious problems which may be present in your home so you will be prepared to deal with them. Walk around with the inspector and don’t be afraid to ask questions. You might want to point out items that concern you..

Ensure that past home renovations have not damaged the structure of the home. Other structural damages to look for are whether pests have caused extensive damage, if settling of the home over time has caused damage to the foundation, and/or whether support beams and joists are strong and sturdy or cracked or otherwise damaged.

Ensure that the electrical and wiring systems are safe and acceptable. All homes should have a minimum of 100 amp service.

Ensure there are no leaks evident. Water can run and leak into odd and unexpected places, causing extensive damage over time. Plumbing fixtures, water-using appliances, drain pipes, water supply inlets and outlets and basements and roofs can all be causes and sources of water damage.

Ensure that safety issues are resolved in your home. Trim foliage which may impair a safe view of the area around the home, ensure that

windows open easily and close and lock securely and that entrances/exits to the home are able to be securely locked. Hidden curbs, loose railings on stairs, unused wells which are not capped etc., should be corrected.

With respect to plumbing, ensure that all fixtures are in good working order and free from large cracks. Faucets should run easily and shut off completely, proper grouting and caulking should be present around bathtubs, toilets and other fixtures should be bolted down securely and drains should be clog free. The home's water heater should be in good working condition. – If your current hard water problems have caused deterioration or discolouration in your faucets, it is time to buy new ones.

It may also be time to consider a water treatment system to eliminate the issues at hand.

All heating and cooling systems may have to be checked to ensure they are relatively up to date, clean, in good working condition and have clean filters. Refrigerant should be checked in any air conditioning units and may require proper servicing.

Also, a general, unbiased overview of your home by a neighbour or friend may reveal matters which need to be dealt with that you may have overlooked.

Checklist your House A checklist to help you sell your house for the highest value price in the least amount of time.

Your local professional home stager / organizer who can provide you with one. Not sure who to call? Local business owner Liz Quinn of Design’in-Mind 613-342-4141 has been servicing clients since 1985.

Dress Your House for Success.

Now that you have made the decision to sell your home, you'll want to look at it differently.

It's now a house for sale and looking at it through "buyers' eyes" can help you package it to sell more quickly. – If you were selling your car, you would most certainly vacuum and clean and polish it to get the best price possible!

Where do I Start?

When you begin preparing your house for market, start outside and work your way in, keeping in mind the importance of first

When you're ready to begin work, use the checklist available from your stager or your sales representative and add your own "To Do" list in the blank space provided. The checklist follows six important steps to packaging your house. Even if you can't get to every detail, the checklist will help you keep in mind the basic steps. Remember, you need to think like a buyer now and have a critical eye!

Six Key Steps 1. De-cluttering makes every room look larger and feel neater. If a house is cluttered, buyers have trouble imagining themselves in it. By removing or storing things you don't need, you create a roomy, comfortable feeling that will be inviting to prospective buyers.

Remember, when in doubt, throw it out, sell it or give it away.

2. Cleaning makes your house easy for buyers to explore and give the impression that it has been well cared for. Be sure every room smells as good as it looks, paying special attention to pet areas, nurseries and bathrooms.

Some fresh paint and a one-time professional cleaning service can make your house look like new. Buyers may have allergies: remove pet dishes & waste containers.

3. Repairing eliminates buyers' objections before they arise. If you think something is too much trouble to fix, chances are buyers will, too. Buyers tend to think repairs will cost more then they do.

4. Neutralizing helps buyers see their own things in you house and picture themselves living there. Neutral paint, decor and carpeting create a home for any lifestyle. Eliminating distracting colours and accessories lets buyers concentrate on positive impressions.

5. “Dynamizing” makes the exterior and every room of your house special. Since it is competing with many other houses on the market, including the one down the street, you need to make it stand out and be memorable. Look in magazines and catalogues for ideas. From the front door to the basement, from fresh flowers to fresh smells, this is the finishing touch.

Showtime is the final step before each time your house is shown. Identify jobs and assign them to make this step quick and easy. If you keep up to chores daily, SHOWTIME will be easier for you and your family. Plan a fun activity - away from the house - during showings.
