Taking place on 6October, around 500 runners are expected to take part All funds to be donated to LandAid, the charity on a mission to end youth homelessness Target to raise £30,000, adding to £50,000 raised from previous years An annual West Midlands charity run will be returning to Longbridge in Birmingham for its fourth year in an effort to raise funds for LandAid, the property industry charity on a mission to end youth homelessness. Taking place on Thursday 6 October, participants can opt for a 10k or 5k route, and individuals of all abilities are encouraged to take part in the event, whether they choose to run, walk or cheer on from the crowd. First launched in 2017, the run has become an annual fixture in the running calendar amongst businesses and individuals throughout the West Midlands and further afield looking to put their running ability to the test. This year’s event, hosted by St. Modwen, the Birmingham-based owner of leading logistics development and housebuilding businesses, will see around 500 runners pounding the pavements of Longbridge and Cofton Park along this notoriously challenging yet scenic route. Sarwjit Sambhi, CEO of St. Modwen, commented: “We’re delighted to be able to bring the much-anticipated run back to Longbridge this year. Past years’ events have been hugely successful, raising over £50,000 to support the vital work that LandAid do to help young people out of homelessness. We hope to raise even more funds this year and continue supporting the charity for years to come.” “As St. Modwen has played a key part in the regeneration of Longbridge, we’re looking forward to being able to bring the whole community together and show others what a brilliant place Longbridge has become to live and work in.” All funds raised from the event will go towards the next phase of St Basil’s Live and Work project, LandAid’s Birmingham-based charity partner, which provides apprenticeship opportunities and living accommodation to young people in the West Midlands facing homelessness. Paul Morrish, Chief Executive of LandAid, said: “LandAid is thrilled to be a charity partner of St. Modwen. All funds raised from the St. Modwen Charity Run for LandAid will make a huge difference to the lives of young homeless people across the Midlands and rest of the UK. Sign up today and you will be giving young homeless people a safe, secure and affordable home.” Registrations are now open to take part in both the 5k and 10k options, head here to find out more: https://join.landaid.org/event/stmodwen10k For sponsorship opportunities, please contact landaidcharityrun@stmodwen.co.uk
Sheds are probably the most likely outbuilding you are to see on a property. They have a variety of uses. However, since they are outside the house, waterproofing them is vital, and that means that your roof choice is important. But while many newer alternatives have become available – polycarbonate sheeting, corrugated sheeting, and EPDM rubber – none of them trump good old shed felt for sheer practicality. Shed felt is made using a bituminous layer for waterproofing and a secondary fibrous layer to provide structure and strength. Whereas in the past this might have been an organic option, nowadays it tends to be a tough synthetic material like polyester. The updated materials let an old solution remain relevant in the modern day. Durability Shed Felt is hard-wearing. While it’s not quite as durable as say, polycarbonate sheeting, it is not fragile like EPDM and bituminous corrugated sheeting. Not only is it rugged, it also can’t be scratched easily like polycarbonate. This means you won’t need to worry about treating it with kid gloves. Aesthetic Value While a shed is a very utilitarian structure, there’s no reason it can’t also be aesthetically pleasing. Shed felt comes in colours that are bold and reassuring but not garish. Whereas a shed with a corrugated metal roof might appear harsh and intimidating, a shed felt roof looks nostalgic and inviting. If you’re willing to go to the effort of installing the strips, you can even get a lovely tiled appearance with shed felt shingles. Low Cost Shed felt is as affordable and cheerful as they come. Very few alternatives beat it for price. In terms of how expensive it is to how long it lasts before needing replacement (often as long as ten years) it’s no wonder it’s as popular as it is. Ease of installation Shed felt doesn’t need glazing bars or complex tools to install. Just a hammer, a utility knife, and some clout nails. If you really want to get fancy you might use adhesive if you live in a windy area. That’s much simpler than having to drill many holes for screws for sheeting, or use an electric saw to cut up polycarbonate. Even relatively inexperienced DIYers can put up a shed felt with a little elbow grease if they follow instructions. Simple to repair This is where shed felt really pulls ahead of comparable materials. Repairing sheeting is difficult, whereas shed felt can be patched easily. All you have to do is cut out a section of damaged felt and patch it with some new felt. Shed felt is durable, so you shouldn’t be repairing it all the time, but when the worst thing happens you can deal with it easily. If a sheet is completely damaged, as we previously mentioned, it’s cheap and easy to install so you can get it up and running in no time without hitting the pocketbook too harshly. Of course, there may be situations where you decide to go with another material because of unusual or particular circumstances. However, when it comes to an all-terrain shed roofing solution, shed felt simply cannot be beat.
There was a point in your life when a larger home was absolutely essential. Whether it was to raise a family or accommodate regular guests, there are years when a big house is full of noise and life, and even the largest of spaces still has a cozy family feel. But what happens when you’ve served your parental duties and waved off your children as they set off to start families of their own? Does all of that space still seem important to you, or are you suddenly finding yourself in a large but extremely empty space? Whatever your reasons for wanting a change in scenery, many people are downsizing into smaller, more stylish homes after they’ve made use of the larger places. If you’re considering moving into a smaller space that’s perfect for the next stage of your life, take a visit to websites like Compass.com and see the wide range of options available to you. In the meantime, keep these things in mind as you look to downsize in a new home to make your next move go as smoothly as possible. Reasons to downsize your home While no two reasons to downsize a home will ever be exactly the same, they tend to fall under some of the same broad categories. Perhaps you simply feel that the house has far too much space now the kids have moved out, and you see no point in staying there. This is a perfectly valid reason. After all, who wants to pay large energy bills and have to clean a huge house that’s totally empty? Or maybe you want to downsize to help get some money together for your retirement? Many people choose to sell up and scale down so that they can make the most of their new start in life. It could just be that you’ve never had kids but you want to experience a brand new area, perhaps away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Either way, downsizing in style is an increasingly popular venture. What will you want in the future? Downsizing your home shouldn’t feel like the end of an era. Instead, it should feel like the beginning of a new adventure. Chances are that you’ve spent the last few decades either raising a family or working extremely hard to succeed in your career (possibly even both!). Think of this as the chance to find your dream home and not a place that’s designed to please others for a change. This should be a space where you can dream big and live with an understated sense of inner happiness. Declutter to reduce moving day stresses Moving from a larger home into a smaller space requires some strict rules about what you’ll take with you and what’s going to be sold at the next yard sale. This is an opportunity to let go of some unnecessary items and random pieces of furniture in favor of taking only the essentials. You don’t want to take it all with you and make moving day an even bigger struggle. Stay realistic about what’s no longer needed in your new place, and look forward to making this smaller space your very own.
Real estate is always a solid investment when you have the money for it. Even if you don’t actively use the space, you can profit by renting it out. That’ll afford you a steady treacle of income and a good ROI in the long-term. Here’s how to get started. Decide on your target audience As a new landlord, resist the temptation of advertising your property everywhere and anywhere. It might seem a little counterintuitive, but you’re more likely to succeed if you filter a little. First, consider who you want to live in your house or apartment. Put together a prototype tenant profile, as it were. Are you okay with smokers? Singles, couples, or groups? Children or no children? How about pets? Figure out the yes’s and no’s. Once you have an idea of what kind of people you’re looking for, figure out how to reach them. See who is moving out of the neighborhood soon and who will come in to replace them. Ask around to learn what makes that particular area attractive to tenants. When you understand the flow of tenants, you’ll have a pretty good idea of where to focus your advertising efforts and find the best people for your property. Establish an appropriate price This is always a little tricky, but there are a few key factors to consider. First, get some insight into the neighborhood real estate market. Learn the height of rent of the other properties in the area and calculate the average range. You might also discreetly inquire with the tenants if they think the prices are fair. Next, determine the baseline value of your property (by square foot). Then add the value of all the time, money, and effort you put into design, renovations, repairs, security, and miscellaneous amenities. Keep in mind that you have to adjust to the market. If your real estate’s total value ends up significantly higher, you’ll need to compromise. Try to find a middle ground between your investment costs and the overall prices in the area. Set up in the right state If you have any flexibility with where to locate the property you want to rent out, you should take time to make a careful selection. Take a page from the book of professional real estate investors. They aim for property in particular states to maximize their ROI and bring in profit on a regular basis. Beginner investors and “regular” homeowners looking to lease out should do the same. For example, Texas consistently rates highly on lists of states for property rent and purchase. Some of its most attractive locales include Brownsville apartments for rent as well as homes in Midland. Texas is legally friendly to investors as well as offering good advantages to landlords in general. In fact, 2020 data cites it as the second best state to rent in, after California. Take quality pictures People like to judge the book by the cover no matter what anybody says. That’s why you should take high-quality photos for your ads. Take them yourself if you’re confident in your skill and equipment. Otherwise, hire a professional photographer. Stage the photos strategically to show off the best aspects of the property. Make them look bright and natural. Avoid taking pictures in artificial lighting if you can; daylight will almost always produce more attractive results. Remember that these photos will be the first impression anyone gets of your property. Advertise on the right platforms Once you’ve decided on your location, price range, and ideal type of tenant, you’ll need to put together a rental listing and post it online. You can put it onto dedicated real estate rental sites or your own social media. It would probably be best if you did both. First, find out which websites are the most popular for finding houses or apartments in the area in which you want to rent out. Start by searching for something along the lines of “[property type] for rent in [location]”. Take a detailed look at the few top results. Aim to advertise on the most popular sites to expose your ad to the most home-hunters. However, if you notice a website doesn’t feature many ads for your type of property, forgo it even if it’s popular. For example, if you’re renting out a summer house but the site is mostly about apartments, you can expect people who are looking for summer houses to overlook that particular platform. Renting out a piece of property is a potentially great long-term financial project. Just avoid the common pitfalls, like getting bad tenants or misgauging your rates. Advertise in the right places with quality photos and sensible numbers, and you can enjoy the fruits of being a landlord for many profitable years.
When you think about sustainable living, you probably imagine the benefits of going green, like sticking to a zero-waste lifestyle or ditching the car for public transportation. However, did you know that your home plays an equally important role in preserving the environment? There are many ways to ensure that your building is environmentally safe and livable for years to come. As a landlord, it is your responsibility to maintain certain standards in every apartment, townhouse, or single-family home. So whether you are renting out one building or an entire complex, here are a few ways to keep your residents – and the planet – safe and green. #1 Reduce Indoor Air Pollution Indoor air pollution is a serious health problem. The EPA – Environmental Protection Agency – estimates that indoor air pollutants are at least one-fourth as prevalent as outdoor pollutants and are present in every home, school, and workplace. Indoor air pollution can come from many sources. These include radon gas seeping out of the foundation, mold and dust mites found in carpets and upholstered furniture, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by paints or cleaning products. Fortunately, as a building owner or manager, you can prevent indoor air pollution or at least reduce it to some extent. Use non-toxic materials whenever possible when making repairs or redecorating areas of the building. This includes all the paints used for painting walls or ceilings, flooring materials, adhesives like contact cement, etc. Avoiding the use of toxic chemicals is a sure-to-succeed way to reducing indoor air pollution. #2 Ensure Proper Ventilation Proper ventilation is an integral part of the HVAC system. It helps clean the air in a building and avoid adverse health effects from exposure to contaminants such as mold, pollen, and dust mites. A properly designed ventilation system should provide enough outdoor air so that it can be delivered uniformly throughout all occupied spaces in your building. In addition to reducing contaminants, adequate ventilation also lowers humidity levels in your building which reduces energy consumption by increasing the efficiency of cooling equipment. #3 Look for Pesticides and Toxins in Drinking Water Toxins can enter our drinking water, which comes from two sources – surface water and groundwater. Surface water includes lakes, rivers, and streams. Groundwater, on the other hand, is found beneath the surface of soil or rock. Contamination can occur at any point along these routes. These include industrial runoff entering a river and pesticides seeping into the soil from farms miles away from your home. How do you know if there are contaminants in your home’s drinking water? The easiest way to find out is by requesting an annual test kit from your municipality (or state). Otherwise, pay attention to any signs that suggest something is wrong with your tap. These signs include stains on fixtures, discoloration in faucets/taps, and foul odors coming out of taps when turned on. You can also take legal action if you feel a nearby industry or business is affecting a public water supply. The success of the Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawsuit shows how willing the US government is at the moment to ensure safe and sustainable living conditions for its citizens. Thus, wherever necessary, taking legal action is always an option. #4 Ensure Sufficient Natural Lighting Natural lighting is vital for both your health and the environment. Natural lighting has been proven to increase productivity, reduce stress, and improve mood. That is why it is crucial to make sure that your building has plenty of natural light. You can achieve this by opening up windows or adding skylights to the ceiling. If you do not have enough natural light in your home, install solar panels on the roof that will generate enough electricity for most appliances (including lighting needs). Much of this planning should be done before the construction of your building. Otherwise, it becomes nearly impossible to incorporate all these changes down the line. #5 Be Careful with Lead paint Lead paint is a common health hazard, especially for children. It is a concern in older buildings and may be present in apartments, homes, schools, and workplaces. For people with young children or those who are pregnant, it is best to avoid living in an apartment that was built before 1978. That was when lead was banned from being used as an ingredient in paints. Make sure to test your home for lead before letting tenants in. You can also test the house yourself by taking samples of dust from floors with a vacuum cleaner bag. If there is lead on these surfaces, it will show up when you shake out the bag outside or on a newspaper inside the house. Sustainable living in an urban setting is difficult to ensure. However, keeping these points in mind will surely help you in this regard.
Buying a home in Spain might be the closest you’ll ever get to living in paradise. The sunny country is known for its lush mountains, stunning sea views, and spectacular beaches that range in color. With so much enchantment and beauty, picking where to buy a house may be challenging. The closeness to magnificent golf communities is one factor that most avid golfers consider when buying Spanish properties for sale. Nueva Andalucia is one of the first towns that top the minds of potential homeowners owing to its numerous lovely golf communities. As more people become aware of the multiple advantages of owning real estate in a golf community, it is swiftly becoming a global phenomenon. Continue reading below for the top 3 reasons for buying Spanish properties for sale. 1. Proximity to the Course For golf enthusiasts, the proximity to the course is merely the beginning of the advantages. Many golf communities provide homeowners with reduced club prices, extended tee times, and access to the course’s other amenities. Lessons with golf experts, cart rentals, and discounts at the clubhouse’s pro shop are all possible features. 2. Sign of Prestige The exclusivity of a golf course property confers status on individuals who possess real estate on the course. While not all homeowners care about how others perceive them, some purchasers do try to project a sense of affluence and accomplishment. Owning real estate in a golf community might contribute to that image. These communities’ homes are often huge and luxurious in appearance. 3. Strengthening of Friendships You will almost certainly make new acquaintances as a result of the community participation promoted throughout golf course communities. Living in a golf community means being surrounded by others who share at least one of your common hobbies. Golf communities also lessen the likelihood that your neighbor may be a nuisance as you and your neighbors in a golf community are likely to share your goal for a high-quality property in a safe area.
There are so many different types of drills and drills bits on the market that even the most seasoned DIY pro may struggle to name them all. This post will provide you with both the different types and their purposes, so keep reading for the ultimate guide. Types of drills Drill driver A drill driver is definitely the most popular type of drill amongst the average homeowner. The reason behind that? Drill drivers are a really versatile type of power tool that help users perform a whole range of different tasks like drilling holes and driving screws into surfaces. This type of driver is typically powered through a battery. Since these drills double up as a driver, you can easily tighten or loosen screws of different sizes and thicknesses. Impact driver This type of driver is designed for loosening bolts and driving screws into surfaces. The difference between an impact drill and a regular drill is that the first doesn’t use a forward chipping gear. Instead, it consists of a rotating hammer and anvil mechanism. The motor inside an impact driver spins the drill bit while the hammer and anvil force it down into the surface and strike it sideways at the same time. Hammer drill As you might have guessed from the name, a hammer drill combines the purposes of a hammer and a drill. A hammer drill works by driving the drill bit in and out of an object at high speed. As the motor spins, pushing the bit back and forth, it chips away at the material as you would with a regular hammer. Cordless drills A cordless drill is any power drill that doesn’t contain any cords or electric wires and instead uses rechargeable batteries to drive the drill’s motor. The majority of these offer the same functions as the corded drills mentioned above. Types of drill bits Twist bit This drill bit will go through sheet metals and can also be used for rough drilling in wood and other materials. Twist bits are available in a wider range of diameters than any other bit type. Brad-point bit These bits look very similar to twist bits, but they have a central spur and side spurs to keep it from travelling. These bits are used to make clean cuts in wood and softer materials, not including metal. Auger bit An auger bit will cut deep, straight holes into timber or thick softwood. The threaded bit point helps keep the cutting bit in place while the spiral cutting head carries wood shavings to the surface. These types are best used with hand-powered brace-and-bit or a power right-angle drill. Counterboring bit These drill bits create a pilot hole and countersink hole to accommodate a screwhead and wood plug. Some of these bits are fully adjustable as to their depth but the most common sizes are for #5, 6, 8, 10, 12 or 14 wood screws and ¼, 3/8 (most common) or ½ inch wood plugs. And there you have it – the ultimate guide to the different types of drills and drill bits, to make sure you kill it (or, drill it!) every time.
The function of the radiator is to heat our home space. For decades the radiator design has stayed the same, with almost any changes made to its design. But nowadays, we are often seeing radiator brands that have decided to review their style and make it more elegant and sophisticated looking to fit with every interior style. Radiators are now stylish and come in many designs, sizes, and shapes. Whether freestanding or mounted on a wall, they are now real design objects and play a big part in every interior. Today we will talk about the kitchen radiator trends in 2022. Mirror, mirror on the wall Yes, the mirror you see on that wall is not just a mirror but a mirror radiator. Mirror radiators are radiators with a built-in mirror and give you the two-in-one effect of heating your home and decorating it. This genius idea allows the radiator to dissipate the light, optically make your space bigger and heat it simultaneously. They have a sleek design and can be found as a mirror only or a mirror with a metal tube on the side and can be placed vertically and horizontally. Mirror radiators can be used in all types of spaces and are perfect for placing in smaller spaces such as corridors, bathrooms, and kitchens, especially in small and dark kitchens. Since this type of radiator is very discreet and minimal, it will look great in clean interior designs such as Scandinavian and Minimalist, but of course, it can also be implemented in other interior designs. We love the Trade Radiators kitchen radiator selection, and we are sure you will love it too, so make sure to check the link below. Browse Kitchen Radiators here. Cast Iron Radiator Cast iron radiators, usually called traditional or classic radiators, are beautiful, often decorated with detailed ornaments. They come in many different styles, such as Victorian, Georgian, and Edwardian and are often vintage, traditional and old-fashioned. These beautiful radiators can create the perfect statement piece in your home and elevate its interior. They match best with more opulent and luscious interior designs, such as Vintage, Traditional, French Country, Shabby Chick, Bohemian and even Transitional. They never go out of style and will look good and fashionable even after decades. Is this a picture? Picture radiators or art radiators look like a work of art. They look like a picture, and when you see them for the first time, you might be like the many others who got fooled. These radiators can be energy efficient infra-red or ‘wet central heating. Both options can offer a stunning focal point and add life and colour to your home, making it look more stylish. You can also get a customised radiator and pick a picture that will best match your style. Why not go for a picture of someone you love or a painting of your favourite artist? Or another idea is to put it in the dining area of your kitchen instead of a picture. We think they can look great in every room and interior style and allow you to experiment and play with your imagination. Sculpture Radiators Art radiators or sculpture radiators are a big thing right now. They are out of the ordinary, modern, artistic, and even futuristic. There are so many shapes, colours, and sizes. You can even find designs that look like a piece of actual wooden furniture which can look great in your kitchen. Some can even be placed on a table and fool for a real decoration. The most popular shapes are ladder shapes, clothes hangers, towel warmers, clothing racks, screen separators, benches, mirrors and sculptures. You will find great choices for the kid’s room, modern bathroom, kitchens, and all around the home. These choices are perfect for the modern loft – wall-hung radiators fit nicely with cement walls. If you’re considering a designer radiator for your home, look no further, this is the best choice you can make. To put it in a nutshell, As you can see, radiators have become much more than just a heating body. They are now a work of art, a fashion statement for your home and even an easy way to refresh your interior and add something unique to your home decor. Nowadays, we have so much choice, which allows us to play with our imagination and sense of style. We are far behind the boring rules that state every room should have a matching interior, so you don’t have to stick to just one radiator style for your home. You can use something different in every room. We hope you found our blog interesting and useful.
Casinos are entertainment hubs, from the non-stop games to the shopping, restaurants, bars, hotels, swimming pools, and live music shows. There is nothing that the best casinos can’t offer. How do these places keep us engaged and wandering around for hours? Well, of course, everything we just listed has a lot to do with it, but there is also something else at play. Clever layouts, subliminal messaging and positioning of services, and thought-out strategies to keep the public inside the doors and spending money. It’s clever, and you may not have ever considered it, which is the casino designers’ main objective! Brick and mortar casinos are different from online gaming sites like AmazonSlots Casino, where there is unlimited space and games to play. It takes a lot more planning to maximise the entertainment for all customers. Casino Layout If you think about it, the casino invites all types of players, from highrollers to casual players to beginners and those who are only there for the other entertainment. How does the casino keep everyone happy and engaged? The answer is a clever use of game positioning. You will notice the red-roped games for VIPS and highrollers are hidden away from the rest of the games. Easy access with no obstacles such as bars and shops, the casino wants to get these players to the table as quickly as possible, without disruptions. The layout for the other games is a lot more haphazard. This is intentional. You will find different games next to each other, designed to keep players moving from one game to the next. Don’t be surprised to find shops, bars, and eateries dotted around the casino floor. Anything to keep people inside the playing area, spending money, and having fun. Casinos used to cram the games onto the floor, but modern casinos have turned the page making the experience much friendlier. High ceilings, more walking space, and a more “playground” concept over the “maze” design help players feel more welcome and comfortable. Clever Mind Tricks The layout of slot machines is one thing that extends to something that can only be described as “mind games”. The old row layout of classic casinos such as The Golden Nugget was not exactly social. However, the cluster design you now see in modern casinos makes everything and everyone a lot more socially active. It makes it easier for people to wander the floors, watch big wins, and enjoy more of a “togetherness” feeling with other players. Another little trick up the sleeves of casinos is not putting up any clocks or ways to view the time. Combine the absence of clocks with zero windows, and you have no idea what time of the day it is (unless you check your phone, but why would you when you are deep in the excitement of roulette or a winning slot spin!). You could be in there for hours and find yourself walking out a 6am, thinking it was 12am. It’s a sneaky strategy, but it clearly works as people enjoy themselves, and of course, they spend their money to line the casino pockets even more!
