The Curious Mom

A home inspector will give you a thorough report which will help you understand the condition the home is in. Having a licensed inspector go through the home will reveal issues that may be too expensive to solve, which will ultimately cost you more than you planned on spending.

Compared to the cost of your real estate investment, a home inspection is an inexpensive procedure you should not get stingy with. When buying a home, it’s always better to be safe rather than sorry, even if everything seems great on the outside. It’s better to spend a few hundred dollars on an inspection than thousands on costly repairs and renovations.

Home inspectors are experienced professionals that can share valuable advice on how to take care of your home, which parts you need to pay special attention to so that you home can last decades without any serious repair investments.

Termites and rats can cause serious damage to your home and be a real pain to get rid of. The home you are planning to buy might be amazing in any other aspect, but if there’s a looming pest threat you could be looking at thousands of dollars in damage and pest control.

Skipping a home inspection is a gamble in terms of finance, but can also be gambling with your own life. For example, a damaged electrical system or a looming gas leak could very well turn into a safety hazard. A Colorado home inspector (or one operating in your state) will be able to pinpoint these crucial issues before they turn into a tragedy, so skipping an inspection is something that you never want to do.

If there are a lot of problems inside a home, you could negotiate a better price with the seller. Alternatively, you could have them promise to fix the issues in order to keep the asking price. Either way, you’ll have all the cards on your table and save yourself from a lot of trouble.

Finally, if the home inspection uncovers too many problems, you could use the results as a way out of the deal. Nobody wants a home that brings nothing but headaches, and with a home inspector’s report you can easily back away from a deal that does not work for you.

With the end of the long heatwave that dominated July and early August, we’ve all been reminded that the summer is coming to end, and it will soon be time to send the kids back to school.

Depending on your situation that might mean more stress or less – you don’t have to worry about keeping your children entertained all day, every day until half term. You’ve got your day back! On the other hand, it means starting the day off by getting your children into uniform and delivered to the school gates! Even with just one child, it’s a challenge – with two or more every morning begins to resemble a battle.

Every parent knows that good dental habits are built at home, and at a very young age. In fact, when they are well into primary school at the age of eight to ten, your youngsters can already use their toothbrush independently, and by that time, they should know how long it takes to brush thoroughly, how much toothpaste to use, and how often they need to brush to keep their gums and teeth in excellent shape.

However, as soon as adolescence kicks in and your kids gain more independence, you need to continue building upon this existing foundation of health by teaching them other healthy habits and enforcing your own. Every little step forward is important, and your teenagers will be able to feel more confident and learn to appreciate their health with a pearly-white smile and a fresh breath!
