ONE AMAZING CUSTOM HOME WITH A BATHROOM INSPIRED

BY A HIDEAWAY BUILT FOR TWO Brenda’s honeymoon was twelve years ago, but she still has fond memories of the rain shower, the soaking tub and having two of everything. So when she and her husband sat down to custom design their Schumacher home, she knew she wanted a spa retreat inspired by their honeymoon suite. In the end, she got everything she wanted, all for less than they thought.

No two Schumacher homes are exactly alike.

Let us build the home of your dreams on your lot with every little detail designed with you and your family in mind.

Visit a design studio near you to tour one of our amazing model homes in person or call 855 - 297-1935 to speak with a New Home Consultant today.

Get answers to legal questions about real estate ...

Email your questions to reweekly@rewnc.com and we’ll get a real real estate attorney to answer them. Seriously.

the question:

Can homeowners association officers decide to raise the road maintenance fees without the consent of the homeowner or am I protected by the amount set when I purchased the property?

the answer:

The power of a Homeowners Association (HOA) is set by the provisions of the by-laws for the HOA. So each case would have to be dealt with on and individual basis, but typically the actions of the officers of an HOA are controlled by the by-laws and normally the by-laws require a meeting and a vote of the homeowners to raise fees or to take other actions. You could be out voted by the other owners and then the fees could be raised through the process defined in the HOA by-laws.

NCDOT has new rules for gift drones

RALEIGH – Quadcopters, radio controlled planes, UAS – no matter what you call them, there’s no denying that drones are a big hit this holiday season.

As Americans wrap up their holiday shopping, the N.C. Department of Transportation is offering advice to the thousands of people receiving a drone in December.

Drones fall under the category of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). UAS technology is an exciting and evolving field, which can lead to confusion for both UAS owners and the general public. NCDOT wants to help drone owners enjoy their new technology while protecting citizens’ safety and privacy.

“We’re proud of North Carolina’s legacy of being first in manned flight,” said NCDOT Secretary Nick Tennyson. “The academic and industry researchers in our state will make us a leader in unmanned flight as well.”

NCDOT’s Division of Aviation has established guidelines for UAS operation in North Carolina. Both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the NCDOT Division of Aviation classify UAS flight operations by three categories:

Recreational ­Any UAS flight that is conducted solely for recreation.

Government – Any UAS flight conducted by a government entity to support their work.

Commercial – Any UAS flight that serves a business purpose or provides a business benefit, even if that benefit is indirect.

Government and commercial UAS operators must adhere to state and federal requirements established by the North Carolina General Assembly and the FAA. Each classification is subject to specific regulations and guidelines. That includes the FAA requirement that all UAS operators must register their drone.

More information about registration is available on the FAA’s UAS website. Most people receiving a drone this holiday season will use them for purely recreational purposes.

While recreational drone flights are not heavily regulated, the FAA and model aircraft enthusiast groups have established a number of guidelines which should be followed to ensure a fun and safe experience: Always fly below an altitude of 400 feet and

fly within your direct line of sight.

Do not fly within 5 miles of an airport, near stadiums or other public events, or for compensation.

Do not fly a drone that weigh more than 55 pounds.

Do not fly at night, even if your drone is equipped with lights.

“UAS technology is fun and exciting, but it needs to be used responsibly,” said Division of Aviation Director Bobby Walston. “These guidelines will help ensure the safety of people in the air and on the ground.”

UAS operators, whether recreational, government or commercial, should keep in mind that North Carolina has laws governing drone use. Drone users are subject to all North Carolina laws, even if UAS technology is not specifically mentioned.

Current and potential drone owners can visit the Division of Aviation’s website( http:// www.ncdot.gov/aviation/) to find more information about state and federal UAS regulations and watch a video with safety tips for operators

Make your money resolutions stick (StatePoint) If you resolve to spend less and save more in 2016, you’re not alone. A quarter of US consumers are making money-saving resolutions, according to Nielsen surveys.

While everyone sets out with the best of intentions, the truth is that only eight percent of us are successful at achieving our New Year’s goals, according to research published in the University of Scranton Journal of Clinical Psychology.

• Prioritize goals: While you may think that saving money, getting promoted at work and earning a significant pay increase sound like great aspirations, you may be biting off more than you can chew. Instead of making a long list of possible resolutions, determine one or two top priorities so you can fully devote yourself to those goals.

• Make Measurable, Attainable Resolutions: Once you’ve set your money-saving goals, determine how you’ll measure success. For example, if you are saving for your dream vacation, determine how much to set aside for the trip and how much to save each month to reach that goal. Then, set short- and long-term milestones to help you stay motivated.

• Repurpose your stuff: One way to save is by repurposing what you already own. Use the New Year as a time to clean out closets, empty storage units and breathe new life into items by refinishing furniture or updating existing pieces of clothing. You can even sell clothes you don’t wear as often through your own shop on websites like eBay or Poshmark.

• Save for a rainy day: Putting away a small amount every week for emergencies can add up to big savings in the long run.

• Heat up your savings: If you rely on oil to heat your home, contact your energy provider to determine whether you can pre-pay to lock into lower rates. This way, you won’t have to worry about rising prices when the temperatures go down.

• Replace household items: Even though your refrigerator or fixtures may be working fine, they may be using more energy or water than they should. To save on water bills choose a quality faucet with a lower flow rate.

Setting achievable goals and planning ahead can help you stick with your resolution to save money.
