Did you know?

(MS) Many home improvement projects involve hanging decorative items, such as photo frames or shelving. Homeowners frequently wrestle with nails, screws and hanging hardware, perhaps creating more holes in their walls than is necessary to get items level and in the right spots.

Instead of playing a guessing game of figuring out where the hanging holes or hooks are located on the back of items, use your office equipment to make life easier. Make a copy of the back of the item you’re trying to hang with a printer/scanner or a copy machine, making sure to copy the item to full scale. Print the copy at full size and use it to drill the hanging holes. If you don’t have access to a copy machine or scanner, use a piece of tape to measure the distance between the hanging holes on the back of the frame.

Stick the tape to the wall and then put your nails or screws at the ends of the tape.

to change passwords or rename their devices from factory standard. These are important security measures. In addition, customers should not leave ports open or use port forwarding.

Encrypted VPN systems should be used for home networks whenever possible. If any security weaknesses are discovered when using smart home devices, they should be brought to the attention of the manufacturer, who may have fixes, patches or new devices that offer more security than older models.

www.birdrealtysells.com

(MS) Devices that connect to computer networks are potentially vulnerable to hackers. This is a reality of modern living and also a concern for homeowners who have established “smart houses” or use network-based security systems.

In an effort to make homes “smarter” and more secure, some homeowners are spending substantial amounts of money on devices that automate certain aspects of home living.

According to Reuters, the home automation market exceeded $1 billion in 2012, and those figures continue to rise. Internet-based devices and those that sync up to smartphone apps can handle a number of tasks. Some automatically sense if a home is occupied and adjust heating or cooling systems accordingly, while others allow remote control of lights, security systems, cameras, and doors. People can check up on kids via network-based nanny cams or turn on their hot tubs while on the way home from work. Although these devices make life more convenient, they also open up residences to the possibility of security breaches.

Just this year an Internet-based baby monitor was hacked in a Cincinnati home. Parents heard a strange man’s voice yelling at their 10-monthold sleeping daughter to wake up. The child’s father ran to his daughter’s room to see what was going on, but the hacker wasn’t there. Then the child’s baby monitor began to rotate on its own and projected the voice of a man screaming obscenities.

Experts warn that this isn’t an isolated incident, and wireless devices that tap into the home’s IP address are a window into homes and sensitive personal data.

Imagine a third-party hacker accessing children’s

names by viewing decorations in a nursery.

Hackers also may raise an unsuspecting person’s energy bills by turning up the heat while that person is away from home. Home security cameras can be turned on the homeowner and become remote surveillance devices for hackers.

Despite the best efforts of programmers and manufacturers, there are ways to circumvent even the most reliable security systems. To protect themselves from hackers, homeowners should follow manufacturers’ recommendations

Understanding attic insulation

REALTY

(MS) Insulation is one of the best investments a homeowner can make, but too often people overlook insulation in favor of more eye-catching renovations. Insulation is not something to be ignored, as it contributes to year-round comfort in the home while reducing energy costs along the way.

According to the Energy Star program, you should add more insulation if the existing insulation is just level with or below the floor joists of your attic. If you cannot see any of the floor joists because the insulation is well above them, you probably have enough and adding more may not be cost-effective. In addition, check to see if the insulation is an even thickness across the entire attic. Sometimes it can be thicker in the middle and then peter out toward the eaves.

Attic insulation is measured according to its R-Value, which measures the insulation’s ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-Value, the better the thermal performance of the insulation.

In many climates, the recommended level for homes is R-38. If you prefer more insulation, increase the R-Value.

Insulation is made from different materials, including fiberglass, cellulose and rock wool.

It comes in different forms. Rolls and batts are some of the more commonly used types of insulation. Loose-fill insulation is a loose insulation with no backing that is usually blown into a space. Rigid foam and foam-in-place insulation are additional types of insulation.

The type of insulation used depends on where the insulation is needed and your budget. Certain materials are not applicable for particular uses, and typically insulation that provides a higher R-Value tends to be more expensive. Examine the cost-effectiveness of the type of insulation being considered before application. You also can mix and match insulations depending on the application.

The U.S. Department of Energy offers these additional tips with regard to insulation. * Consider factors such as your climate, home design and budget when selecting insulation for your home. * Use higher R-Value insulation, such as spray foam, on exterior walls and in cathedral ceilings to get more insulation with less thickness.

* Install attic air barriers, such as wind baffles, along the entire attic eave to help ensure proper airflow from the soffit to the attic. Ventilation helps with moisture control and reduces summer cooling bills, but don’t ventilate your attic if you have insulation on the underside of the roof. Ask a qualified contractor for recommendations.
