March Time to Spring Forward

March time to Spring Forward! The Spring Equinox is finally upon us, and it’s also time to remodel! The official first day of spring 2017 is March 20th.  Warmer weather is on its way, which most look forward to after a long, brutally cold winter.  There are some of us that associate spring time with spring cleaning, and opening up the windows in your home for the smell of the invigorating spring air.  This year, Easter will be on Sunday, April 16, 2017.  So get ready for the Easter Bunny to arrive, dyed eggs, and chocolate candies galore! 

Students will be celebrating Spring Break this month as well.  Many people will be attending spring festivals in their hometowns. Gardening is also a big hit in the Spring Time.  Flowers and trees are in full bloom, so it is the best season for gardening in most gardeners’ opinion.  Daylight Savings Time will also occur in March.  This year it will happen on Sunday, March 10, 2017, so don’t forget to set your clocks forward one hour.

March Time to Spring Forward

For most Floridians, warm weather is not something that is sought after mostly because it’s warm nearly year-round.  But for those that reside in the northern states, often get excited about the anticipation of spring.  Spring washes away the snow, as the sun starts to shine brightly, bringing joy to those that endured a rough, dark winter.  The outdoor activities become much more enjoyable, and people tend to spend more time outside in the spring season.  The smell of fresh cut grass will be in the air as homeowners tend to their yards.  Children will finally be able to ride their bikes, play on playgrounds, and partake in pool or beach time with family and friends.

Easter is a holiday when families normally come together as one.  We visit with our loved ones, while eating great food, and hiding Easter eggs for the kids to hunt down.  There are a few traditions associated with Easter that you may have never heard of before.    The Easter Bunny tradition actually made its way over from Europe in the 18th century.  In Europe, they were known to refer to the Easter Bunny as “The Easter Hare”.  

The most common Easter traditions are making baskets, coloring/dying eggs,  egg hunts, and getting all dolled up in bonnets and fancy outfits. The traditional act of painting eggs is called “Pysanka”.  This originated in the Ukraine, and the eggs are painted with beeswax instead of dye.  In 2011, the tallest chocolate Easter egg was constructed in Italy.  It was taller than a giraffe and heavier than an elephant.  Americans consume over 16 million jelly beans on Easter and buy more than 700 million marshmallow “Peeps” during the Easter holiday. On Easter, the White House hosts an Easter Egg Roll on the front lawn.  This tradition was started by President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1878.

March Time to Spring Forward

Spring is often associated with the best time to plant a flower or vegetable garden.  Even if your thumb isn’t so green, it is all about trial and error with gardening, and anybody can do it.  All it takes is dedication and a little TLC.  Here are a few tips that everyone should know if you are planning on starting or repairing a garden this spring:  First thing you should do is prepare the soil.  You want to till the garden area 8 to 12 inches beneath the soil while removing any rocks and any other debris.  Make sure not to till when the soil is too wet, you may hinder the growth of plants and flowers.  Make sure to pluck out all of the weeds that have overtaken the soil. 

Next, you will want to fertilize.  Professional gardener’s and landscapers say it is suitable to use coffee grounds for your garden.  It is the more “green” way to fertilize and can be slightly less expensive than store-bought fertilizers.  Coffee grounds are filled with nitrogen (a mineral that aids in vegetable and plant growth).  Another tip is adding your cooking water to your plants.  Cooled cooking water adds nutrients and minerals to your plants that are left behind after cooking some of your favorite pasta and potatoes.  Chamomile tea is a great way to avoid your plants getting infected with bacteria and/or fungus.  Many gardening experts believe that planting your veggies, fruits, plants, and flowers at night will help your garden to grow faster. Planting at night also maximizes your water usage.

March Time to Spring Forward

Take this time of year to enjoy all that spring has to offer.  Plant a garden.  Go on a bike ride.  Sign up for the county softball league.  Go to the springs and rent a kayak.  Have a picnic with someone special.  Visit a farm to see the animals.  Pick strawberries.  Listen to the rain.  Feel the sun on your face.  Decorate your home with fresh flowers.  Explore.  Celebrate and enjoy Easter with family and friends.  Spring time has so much to offer, and the weather is marvelous!

Remodeling Idea Boards

Remodeling Idea Boards. Do you have a dream remodel? Too many choices and you don’t know where to start? If so, bring your ideas into reality by creating a Remodel Idea Board.

Basically, there are two ways to create a Remodel Idea Board; online or on paper.

Remodeling Idea Boards

Remodeling Idea Boards

Online

First, Pinterest is a great place to create dream boards. Because Pinterest provides many ideas for every aspect of remodeling and interior design, down to the smallest detail. You can create as many “boards” as you like; one for each room, one for each theme, or one for each color or style you’re considering. Then you add all of the images to each board that appeals to you. We love using Pinterest for showing the wide range of styles and options available. The only drawback to Pinterest is the scope; there’s no limit to your choices, so narrowing down your style choices can be difficult.

On Paper

The other option for your Remodel Idea Board is on paper. This can be a large piece of poster paper or corkboard with images from; the internet, images from magazines, fabric swatches, even photographs. You can include anything that inspires you, such as a sea shell with lovely colors or a scarf. The paper Remodel Idea Board is only so large, so it forces you to make decisions; to really narrow down your choices until you find the combination that really works for you.

Once you’ve narrowed your ideas down, call us! We would love to assist you with all your kitchen remodeling needs from 3D design, blueprint/drawings, and permitting to completion.

Get Recommendations

First, listen to what other individuals have to say about the company that you’re considering hiring. Because friends and family are a great resource; find out whom they’ve hired and their experience with the company. Also, one the most powerful resources today would be the Internet and social media. Websites such as Angie’s List, the Better Business Bureau or Google Plus will give you insightful reviews from past customers. In addition, ask for a reference list of past customers, and even material suppliers.

Plan Your Project

You have probably been thinking of this project for a long time, and you’re ready to tackle it! Before meeting with potential remodeling companies; it’s important to come up with an idea of what you expect and want to see as the end result. Ask the representative what materials you should bring to the initial meeting; so the company can best understand your needs and give you an appropriate estimate. Knowing what you want will make it easier when the company that creates the plans and specifications.

Time to Meet!

Once you have narrowed down the list of potential companies; it’s important that the company you choose can answer any questions regarding your project and put you at ease with any concerns you might have. Communication is key when working on projects in your home.

Get Estimates

Asking more than one company for an estimate is a crucial step. Every company has a different perspective on costs. Be sure to choose the one that fits your budget and your preferences the most. Keep in mind that going for the company with the lowest costs is not always the best decision. Ask for a detailed line item estimate showing allowances for fixtures, building materials, and permits. The golden rule is to get at least two estimates!

Put it in Writing

The contractor should draft a contract that states every detail of the project. It should include the payment schedule, the start and completion dates and specific materials that will be used. You should also require the contract to acquire lien releases. This protects you from any financial responsibility if your contractor doesn’t pay the necessary bills from subcontractors and supply companies. If there are any changes to your contract, a change order is needed. A change order is a written authorization to the contractor to make changes or additions to the original contract.

Warranty

Make sure your contractor offers a warranty and verify the duration and what’s covered by the warranty. The warranty also needs to be in writing.

Remodeling can be a stressful process but the end result is rewarding. These tips hopefully guide your process when selecting a company that best fits your needs.
