Professionally SpeakingDear Community,

You’ve probably heardthe term “reverse mort-gage,” which refers to aloan that allows home-owners aged 62 andolder to tap the equity intheir home, without re-paying it. This has be-come an increasinglypopular way for retireesto generate extra income for livingexpenses and paying off debt.However, high fees and aggres-sive sales tactics prompted theSenate Special Committee onAging to recently issue an investoralert. The intention behind thewarning is not to discourage re-verse mortgages, but rather to en-courage homeowners to makesure it’s the right loan product forthem.The biggest downside to such anagreement is that the up-frontcosts for application, legal fees,document recording, and loan

origination fees can some-times top 10% of the loan’svalue. For this reason, thefederal government re-quires meeting with a fi-nancial counselor prior toapplying for a reversemortgage, helping ensurethat it’s the best loan prod-uct for your situation.

In addition to a financial advisor,you are strongly encouraged toconsult with a trusted local REAL-TOR®. Simply put, you might gen-erate more income by selling yourhome and moving to a less ex-pensive one, directly pocketingthe equity you’ve worked so hardto build over the years. A profes-sional REALTOR® can compareyour home’s value to other attrac-tive properties on the market, andguide you to a profitable conclu-sion!

From the day we areborn we are on the pathto aging. Until we findthat elusive fountain ofyouth, the clock contin-ues to click forward, andtoday there are 77 mil-lion baby boomerspreparing for retirement. While few want toadmit that they areaging, an overwhelmingnumber of home ownershave made the decisionthat when the inevitableoccurs, they want togrow old gracefully —and independently — intheir own homes. Be-cause the vast majority

of homes we live in arenot well designed foraging, a new movementin residential construc-tion has sprung up tomeet this new consumerdemand. America needstrained remodelers, de-signers and builders toupgrade our homes sowe can comfortably“age in place.” What is “aging-in-place” exactly? Aging-in-place means living inyour home safely, inde-pendently and comfort-ably, regardless of ageor agility level. It ad-dresses the need to de-

sign newhomes,and re-modelexistingresi-dences,to allowpeople to remainin their current home asthey grow older. The easiest way to pre-pare for aging-in-placeis to include universaldesign features whenyou are building a homeor embarking on a cur-rent remodeling project.The following featurescan be added duringconstruction or remodel-ing jobs for little or noextra cost to you:

Getting safely and se-curely in and out of thehouse Better outdoor lighting,such as path lighting tothe front or rear doorAttractive ramps or a“zero step entrance” forthe homePackage shelf by thefront doorHandrails at steps andporchesOne-story designs fornew homes

Changes in the bath-rooms (the numberone place for acci-dents in your home)

Two to three attractivelooking grab bars in theshowerLever handles on thefaucetsSlide-bar-type hand-held shower, for sittingor standingInset shampoo nooksCurbless showers, withnothing to step over,that can be rolled into ifusing a wheelchair be-comes necessary Moving tub andshower controls closerto the entry pointAnti-scald, tempera-ture and pressure bal-anced tub showervalves for safer bathingWidening entry doorsto at least 32 inchesHigher toiletsMoving around in the

(ARA) - As the daysget longer and thingsget a little brighter in-side your house, it be-comes easier to noticethe places that coulduse a little extra TLC.It's also the perfect timeto work on simplehome improvementprojects as you wait forwarm weather tocome.Here's a checklist youcan work on now soyour home will be vi-brant and welcomingonce long summerdays roll around.

FloorsOnce the light beginsto reflect off your floors,you really start to no-tice some imperfec-tions. If you've beenwaiting to screen andrecoat your hardwoodfloor to give it a newshine, now's the perfecttime to do it. If you'rereplacing tile, vinyl orlinoleum flooring, aheat gun is a great toolto help soften the ad-hesive for easy re-moval. The WagnerHT3500 digital heatgun offers 12 precisetemperature settings,making it an easy-to-use tool for do-it-your-selfers.

PaintingOne of the easiestways fill your roomswith warmth is to givethem a fresh coat ofpaint. Increased sun-light will help youchoose the color thatworks best with yourroom, and you can fin-ish painting before theweather gets reallynice and you want tospend more time out-side.

WindowsSpring is a great timeto take a look at yourwindow treatments andsee if they could use alittle love. Cleaningyour blinds and wash-ing your curtains cangive your indoor spacea little extra life. If you'rerepainting, you mayalso want to considerrepainting or restainingyour window frames.You can also use aheat gun to help youremove old paint orvarnish from yourframes.

DeckAs the weatherwarms up and you'reagain ready to useyour deck, you'll proba-bly notice plenty of de-bris that's collectedover the winter. Start

by giving it a goodspray with the hose toclear away everything.If you plan on stainingor repainting yourdeck, mild tempera-tures are ideal. If youget it done in thespring, you'll haveplenty of time to enjoyit throughout the year.

BathroomsSince you're freshen-ing up the rest of yourhouse, don't forget thebathrooms. Besidessimply scrubbing yourtub, cleaning bathroomtile and regrouting is aneasy way to get yourbathroom lookingclean and bright. Thisproject can be doneover a weekend and issimple enough formost homeowners tohandle.

By taking some timeto tackle these projectsnow, you'll give your-self a whole summer ofrelaxing in the warmthof your newly refreshedhome. For more proj-ect ideas, how-tovideos and informationon tolls for painting,staining and otherhome improvementtasks, visit www.wagn-erspraytech.com.

(ARA) - Even in avolatile economy,homeowners are mak-ing home upkeep a pri-ority. While the numberof projects annuallyhad been on the de-cline in recent years, astudy from BuildFax, aresource for building,remodeling and repairinformation, found re-modeling activity wasup in 2011 over 2010.Additional data showshomeowners are opt-ing to invest in whatmatters most with proj-ects that benefit theirwallets, personal com-fort and the environ-ment.

Know the factsBefore buying any-thing, shoppers aretaking time to learnmore about the prod-ucts they put in theirhomes. For one in fourconsumers, knowingand understandingwhat makes up generalhousehold products isimportant. As optionscontinue to increase,this attention to re-search is key to findingefficient products thatoffer maximum value.For instance, home-owners will find that afew newer home insu-lation products thathelp provide greaterenergy efficiency alsoboast new sustainableformulations. OwensCorning EcoTouch in-sulation is made from99 percent natural ma-terials, contains a mini-mum of 58 percentrecycled content and isverified formaldehydefree.

Energy-efficient essentials

According to the2010 Home Improve-ment Research Insti-tute Trends ProgramReport, reducinghousehold energyusage and billsthrough energy-effi-cient improvementscontinues to be the No.1 reason homeownersmake home improve-ments. That same re-port also indicated sixout of 10 consumersneed help identifyingwhat they can do to bemore environmentallyconscious."Now is the right timeto make efficiency im-provements around thehome because home-owners will see an im-mediate impact ontheir monthly utilitybills, and will reap evengreater benefits in thelong term," says FrankO'Brien-Bernini, chiefsustainability officer atOwens Corning. "Ac-cording to the U.S. De-partment of Energy,buildings use more en-ergy in the UnitedStates than eithertransportation or indus-try, accounting for theconsumption of 40 per-cent of our nation's en-ergy resources. On amore granular level,the primary use of en-ergy in a home is forheating and cooling. Inmany homes, exces-sive energy is wastedthrough poorly sealedand insulated attics,walls and ductwork - all

problems that can besolved by handy do-it-yourselfers or throughexperienced contrac-tors."The Home Improve-ment Research Insti-tute reports roughlyone in three homeown-ers plans to purchasemore energy-efficientdoors, windows orHVAC systems in thecoming year. Sealingall openings arounddoors and windowscan help homeownersmake the most of theirinvestment. Air ductsshould also be in-spected to ensure theyare clean, are free ofleaks and holes and di-rect air to the rightspaces.

Recycling 101While recycled con-tent is commonly fo-cused on, recyclablematerials are also im-portant. Often withhome improvementprojects, old materialsare thrown out and re-placed with the new.What many homeown-ers may not know isthat many building ma-terials and appliancesare recyclable. Recy-cling is a better solu-tion for theenvironment, and maybe less costly than tak-ing material to a land-fill."There are more recy-clable materials on andin a home than youmight first assume. Mil-lions of tons of shin-gles torn off from roofsend up in our country'slandfills each year. For-tunately, the technol-ogy now exists for allthose shingles to be re-cycled instead," saysO'Brien-Bernini. "In2009, Owens CorningRoofing and Asphalt,LLC formed an alliancewith Heritage Environ-mental Services to cre-ate a Shingle RecyclingProgram with roofingcontractors to make re-cycling convenient,cost-competitive anddifferentiating and havesince recycled morethan 90,000 tons of as-phalt shingles."Homeowners lookingfor more information

about shingle recyclingand other types of re-cycling can turn toEarth911.com, withwhom Owens CorningRoofing and Asphalt,LLC recently alsoformed an alliance. Thesite hosts the largestand most accurate re-cycling directory inNorth America and pro-vides information aboutwhat materials can berecycled as well as listsof recyclers in localmarkets.For more tips on effi-cient home improve-ments, visitwww.OwensCorning.com.
