Save money: repair rain gutters By: Pat Curry ©HouseLogic.com Repairing sagging and leaking gutters is a simple task and can be tackled in a day.

should be straight. Long gutters should have a peak in the middle to enable water to run toward downspouts at either end.

The problem area should be easy to spot. In most cases, you can simply reposition loose hangers, using a cordless drill or a hammer.

Sagging and leaking gutters risk damage to your siding and foundation that may cost thousands to repair. Use gutter sealant, patches, and hangers to fix sagging and leaky gutters at a cost of only a few dollars.

How to fix leaky gutters Seal leaky gutter joints and small holes using gutter sealant applied from the inside the gutter. A tube of sealant costs about $5.

Repair larger holes using a gutter patch kit or a scrap of metal flashing glued down with sealant. You'll find patch kits at home improvement centers for about $10.

How to straighten sagging gutters If you suspect a sag, get up on a ladder and sight down the length of the gutter. Gutters

Highland Forest. Well built home with so many updates you would think it is brand new. MLS# 478074 $199,000

Here's how to set stubborn sags straight: •From the ground, prop a long, straight 1x4 or 2x4 brace under the sag.

•Get up on a ladder and remove a hanger or two near the sag.

•Sighting along the gutter, adjust the brace until the sag disappears.

•Replace the hangers. If needed, add one or two new hangers for extra support.

They cost less than $3 each.

The landscape has changed a bit We have short sales, some foreclosures, a few depressed areas…and a WHOLE BUNCH of really good deals to choose from. What a great time to buy the home of your dreams. Pick any color, size, style and location for your family - it’s Christmas in Western North Carolina! It’s all about confidence, and you can have it here in the Carolinas. The value is there and appreciation will be back before you know it. When the dam breaks across the country it’s not going to be Cleveland or Detroit who benefits; it will be you.

Go for it!

Looking at interest rates An article in USA Today said mortgage rates might get to 7.5% in the next couple years. What does that tell you? To me it’s a message to think about locking in a low rate and term today. It also hints that I should probably buy a home soon if I am interested in a good long term investment. And, if mortgage rates do climb your CD rates will probably also increase, as well as the value of your stock portfolio (historically speaking). Oh, it’s always something to ponder, isn’t it? Where is that crystal ball when we need it?

Bill’s Corners I’ve been involved with the real estate and mortgage industry for more than 30 years and feel privileged to have landed here in Asheville. Moving from Detroit gave my family and me an appreciation of… ‘wow, can you believe this place!’ I’ve travelled around the world with my speaking opportunities, but this is the ‘cat’s meow’ when it comes to…you name it ... a list of everything good. Every week I hope to be able to give you some information that is pertinent, interesting, and perhaps a little entertaining. So please enjoy my ‘Corner’, and if you do decide to buy a house, rest assured it was a good decision.

Name this dog When most people see me for the first time, they comment that I look just like a fox. I typically wear a solid red-gold coat; which looks nice with my broad skull, pointed muzzle, prick ears, dense double coat and bushy tail. I am honored to be the national dog of Finland, where I was used as a natural bark pointer for hunting small game and game birds. I am fun to be with, am faithful and actually love children.

I am extremely intelligent and self-willed, so if you want me to do something it’s with doggy treats not ‘doing a time out’. I stand no more than 20 inches at the shoulder and I need my coat brushed weekly….ahhhhhhh.

Use your imagination to unwind Imagination can make a cloudy day sunny – and overpower stress. Here are three ways to create mental pictures that offset daily stressors.

Music. Choose a song you find soothing. Find a nice quiet spot to listen to it. Throw yourself into the beat, lyrics, and rhythm. Let your hair fly!

Colors. Pick a warm color that will relax you.

Close your eyes and feel each muscle begin to turn that color; slowly, thoroughly, sensually. Paint a picture. Imagine warm waves flowing over rocks, the beach, your suntan body. Feel the soothing effect it has over and over. Or, picture a warm sun melting icicles…drip, drip, drip.
