Summer musings from an affirmed BBQ Addict....
Outdoor Kitchens
Summer musings from an affirmed BBQ Addict....
Summer musings from an affirmed BBQ Addict....
 Ahhh summer... one of my favorite seasons! For those of you who know me well, you know that I love to cook outdoors. From brats to brisket and from tenderloin to turkey - give me a good smoker, grill and/or deep fryer and I'm king of the backyard (at least for a few hours..). So I thought, why not write about outdoor kitchens! Signature Builders has the experience and I get to pontificate on some of my favorite project ideas. Here are a few things to consider if you plan to build or remodel an outdoor kitchen:
- Think through the Design: All
of the same considerations for a great indoor kitchen apply to an
outdoor kitchen - but you also have to plan for sun, rain, ice, wind,
varmints and the occasional neighborhood kid. More challenging...more
fun!
- Overhead, Underfoot & Hidden Spaces: Most
outdoor kitchens include a covered space so you can use it anytime
regardless of weather. A rubber membrane can be put under an upper deck
to prevent leaks in a lower patio kitchen. Lighting, outlets, overhead
fans, lots of easy-access storage, easy-to-clean surfaces and flooring
and simple winterizing will be key elements of your design.
- Choose Resilient Materials: There
are so many great materials that can be creatively used in an outdoor
kitchen. We have seen / used materials such as stained/decorative
concrete, stucco, tile, stainless steel, stone and non-porus synthetic
composites, etc.
- The Good Stuff: Just
think about how you like to cook and then make room (and shelter)
for your favorite gear, such as a built-in gas grill, smoker or firepit,
mini-fridge and/or a ready-to-pour beer tapper. Don't forget built-in
storage for the Weber, charcoal, uten-sils, accessories - and the
ever-critical spices, herbs and rubs.
|
- The Extras Make it Yours:
I've been thinking that adding a small garden box right next to the
prep area would be perfect for picking the fresh basil. You might be
thinking about a gas fire pit or a real stone fireplace. How about a
sunk-in hot tub next to the wine fridge - so you can sink-in after a
long day of work or play....
So enough with all this chit
chat... I'm heading out to my grill with some good ol' Wisconsin
brats. Don't forget to call or email me if you are thinking about
building an outdoor kitchen. I can even help you break it in when we're
done!

Do you know how to clean up a spill on your beautiful carpet?
"Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing." Phyllis Diller
"Oops! I spilled!" Do you know how to clean up a spill from your beautiful carpet? Whether it's a child's spilled milk or an adult's goblet of wine, the first and most important step for preventing a spill from turning into a stain is by blotting up as much moisture as you possibly can.
If there are solids, scrape them up and blot with lots of clean towels. Paper towels work well. Here is one key pointer. Do not rub! If you're thinking of using spot remover, wait until you have thoroughly blotted the area. You probably know that club soda is an instant spot remover. Pour a little on the spot, wait a few seconds, and blot the area.
While you are waiting for the spot to dry, if you'd like the latest real estate news, or to check recent home sales in your area, please visit my web site at lisabear.remax.com.

When to Refinance
Refinancing
When is the best time to refinance?
It depends on how long you plan to hold on to your house and if you have to pay anything to refinance. In addition, it also depends on how far along you are in paying off your current mortgage.
If
you are going to be selling your house shortly, you probably will not
recoup any costs you incur to refinance your mortgage. If you are
more than halfway through paying your current mortgage, you probably
will gain little by refinancing. However, if you are going to own your
home for at least five years, that's probably long enough to recoup
any refinancing costs you incur and to realize real savings on
lowering your monthly payment. If it is going to cost you nothing to
refinance, you can gain even more.Many lenders will allow you to roll the costs of the refinancing into the new note and still reduce the amount of the monthly payment. Also, there are no-cost refinancing deals available. In any case, it pays to consult your lender or financial advisor, or run the numbers yourself, before you refinance.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of no-cost loans?
In many states, real estate regulatory agencies are cracking down on such advertising. The very term, "no-cost" loan, is misleading because borrowers are actually paying a higher interest rate in exchange for not having to pay fees or closing costs up front when the loan is secured.A "no-points" loan is one for which the lender does not charge points (one point is equal to 1 percent of the loan amount). But there are other fees involved in no-point loans, as with most loans.
How does bankruptcy affect my refinancing?
Refinancing may be prudent but could be difficult after a bankruptcy. If you're considering bankruptcy, you may want to go to your current lender first and explain the situation. If you have been current on your payments, the lender may be accommodating and refinance your loan, easing your financial situation.
Which home buying costs are deductible?
Any points you or the seller pay to purchase your home loan are deductible for that year. Property taxes and interest are deductible every year.But while other home-buying costs (closing costs in particular) are not immediately tax-deductible, they can be figured into the adjusted cost basis of your home when you go to sell (any significant home improvements also can be calculated into your basis). These fees would include title insurance, loan-application fee, credit report, appraisal fee, service fee, settlement or closing fees, bank attorney's fee, attorney's fee, document preparation fee and recording fees. Points paid when you refinance an existing mortgage must be deducted ratably over the life of the new loan.
Have a productive day and we will see you at closing!
