By: Jeanne Huber©HouseLogic.com

Even if your attic floor is filled with adequateinsulation, seal air leaks around pipes andother attic openings to prevent waste ofheating and cooling energy--and money.

You probably think of your ceilings as solidsurfaces, but the truth is that ceilings leak airinto unfinished attic spaces through gapsand openings, such as around pipes andlighting fixtures. Air leaking into your atticcould be costing you money--up to 30% of ahome's heating and cooling energy is lostdue to air leaks. That's an annual $300 biteout of your wallet that you can prevent.

Find air leaksFrom below your attic, check the ceilingsand note the locations of all light fixtures,ceiling fans, and electrical outlets. From theattic-side of your ceiling, find the fixturesyou noted. You'll have to pull back existing

insulation to find them.

Electrical connections for fixtures, fans, andoutlets require a hole cutout in your ceilingdrywall. Each of these cutouts is a likely airleak. You can stop air leaks by sealing thecutouts from above with acrylic latex or sili-cone caulk, or with low-expansionpolyurethane foam, depending on the sizeof the gap.

Also check for anything that penetrates theceiling:

•pipes

•vent stacks

•flues and chimneys

•electrical wiring

•heating and air conditioning ducts

•access hatch

Gaps around these locations should also besealed from above.

Plug large gapsLow-expansion polyurethane foam in a canis great for plugging openings 1/4-inch to 3inches wide, such as those around plumbingpipes and vents. A standard 12-ounce can($5) is good for 250 feet of bead about halfan inch thick.

The plastic straw applicator seals shut withintwo hours of the first use, so to get the mostmileage out of a can, squirt a lubricant suchas WD-40 onto a pipe cleaner and stuff thatinto the applicator tube between uses.Plug small gaps

Caulk makes the best gap-filler for openingsless than 1/4-inch wide, such as those cutaround electrical boxes. Silicone costs themost ($8 a tube) but works better next tononporous materials, such as metal flashing,

I’ve been involved with the real estate and mortgage industry formore than 30 years and feel privileged to have landed here inAsheville. Moving from Detroit gave my family and me an apprecia-tion of… ‘wow, can you believe this place!’ I’ve travelled around theworld with my speaking opportunities, but this is the ‘cat’s meow’when it comes to…you name it ... a list of everything good. Everyweek I hope to be able to give you some information that is perti-nent, interesting, and perhaps a little entertaining. So please enjoymy ‘Corner’, and if you do decide to buy a house, rest assured it wasa good decision.Bill Early is a consultant, speaker, and author of real estate and mortgageindustry articles.

Bill’s Corners

Is my REALTOR a good employee?Who exactly did I hire? I thought my due dili-

gence was comprehensive. And, my agent inMinneapolis worked for the same firm as this one. Imean, this person was friendly, attentive, eager, andwilling to go ‘the extra mile’…in the beginning. NowI’m not sure. Is my Realtor committed to ‘my compa-ny’? Is he/she working overtime to get the job done? Ismy agent being creative enough to sell the difference?The fact is, I don’t know if my agent has had any salestraining, is innovative, has good company support, orreally, really, really needs or wants to be successful. It’snot their fault, it’s mine. I need to buckle down, getinvolved and make sure we are on the same page. Mytime is valuable, my goals are simple, and certainresults are expected. Time to call a meeting!

Should I use a mortgage broker?Absolutely…I they are reputable. Like any

other product you would buy, you want to checkout the potential service provider you may want touse. Interestingly, most loans written over the lastdecade were originated by mortgage brokers acrossthe country. Why? The reasons include; they arevery knowledgeable (being that is all they do), thebroker has many sources for mortgage money, theyare extremely motivated (because they are paid oncommission), and most of them have come fromother industries that have provided professionalsales training. I like them for a choice. Meet acouple brokers, ask pertinent questions, test thewaters…it’s worth the time.

Give water a tryWater exercise. Buoyed up by water,

you feel light as a feather, and you can move inways that are otherwise difficult or impossibleyet still tone your muscles and improve yourcirculation, breathing and endurance. Youweigh 90 percent less in water than you do onland, easing the burden on weight-bearingjoints like your hips, knees, and back. Waterexercises take place in the shallow end of thepool, in waist to chest deep water, and you canusually hold on to the side of the pool for safetyand comfort. And the best part…you can bringyour own dinghy and you’re always clean

Name this dogI’ll tell you right now that I’m a BIG GUY.

My name will fool you as it does not depict my actualorigin. I was raised as a hunter and a wardog….grrrrrrrrr! I look aristocratic and handsomebut am very slow to mature…unless you feed me justright. Sometimes I have to get my ears trimmed(ouch), so that I appear better looking. I love a greatbig yard but don’t put me in a china shop! I enjoychildren, but sometimes step on them inadvertently,and can scare off any intruders. Oh, and I’m nick-named the Apollo of dogs.Answer: (Great Dane)

Wild birds are our backyard buddies: Aswallow can eat a thousand mosquitoesdaily; and watching birds glide and lis-tening to their songs can soothe our jan-gled nerves.

"Connection to the natural world isimportant to maintaining mental healthand stability," says David Bonter, a birdexpert at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology."We evolved being connected tonature."

Nature, shmature - feeding, housing,and bathing birds year-round is expen-sive. Bonter shells out $27 each week fora 50-pound sack of black oil sunflowerseeds, the best food for wild birds thatvisit his upstate New York home.

Bonter's costs are typical. I spend at least$40 monthly - nearly $500 per year - onbirdseed to stock two feeders that hangoutside my kitchen window. And Irecently paid $30for a special blue-bird house, whicha couple of spar-rows quickly com-mandeered.

Want to feed,house, and pro-vide a cool bathfor birds withoutgoing broke? Bon-ter provides sometips.

Raid your pantryYou'd be surprisedhow much birdfood you alreadyhave stashed inyour pantry.

•Stalebread and crack-ers, peanuts (raw,roasted, shelled -but not salted),and oatmeal pro-vide a good birdnosh.

•Robins,orioles, bluebirds,

and cedar waxwings will eat cut up fruit,such as oranges, placed on a platformcovered by a roof to keep out rodents.

•Woodpeckers and nuthatcheswill lick peanut butter off tree bark.

•Beef fat is a powerful nutrientfor birds in winter. When temperaturesdrop below 50 degrees, ask your butch-er for a hunk of beef suet, and hang itfrom a wire cage you easily can find athardware stores and online. If you eatbacon, chill the grease and mix it withnuts and seeds, then hang it in a cage.

•Avoid salty and highly processedfood; it's no better for the birds than it isfor us.

•Don't waste money on shelledsunflower seeds. Birds are accustomedto cracking shells in the wild and willhappily do it at your feeder.

Water's almost freeWater in birdbaths and fountains

attracts birds that don't eat seed, likerobins.

"Any bird will come to a birdbath," Bon-ter says. "I've seen hawks in a birdbath."

If you want to attract more birds, makethe water ripple with a solar water wig-gler ($40). These hand-sized agitatorsmake the birdbath look more like a nat-ural water source and discourage mos-quito eggs from hatching.

Clean and fill the birdbath daily with agarden hose.

Grow your own bird homesBirds don't need to nest at the Ritz.They'll happily reside in a nesting gourd(sometimes called a bottle gourd) youcan grow yourself.

I've harvested six nesting gourds from acouple of gourd vines. You can get fancyand paint and varnish them. But I just letthem dry on the vine (I don't usually getaround to picking them until October),

drill an entrancehole, and hangthem from theporch light next tomy kitchen.

Nesting gourds areharder to cleanthan other birdhomes. So I eitherpick out the oldnests in winter, orthrow them awayand grow newones when theweather warms.

I get three or fournesting familieseach spring andsummer. Nothingwarms my heartlike watching Momand Dad feed theirhungry chicks.

How do you savemoney on birds?What's the mostexotic bird you'veattracted to yourfeeder or birdbath?

or where there are temperature extremes,as in attics. Acrylic latex caulk ($2 per tube)is less messy to work with and cleans upwith water.

Seal air leaks around flues and chimneysBuilding codes require that wood framingbe kept at least one inch from metal fluesand two inches from brick chimneys. Butthat creates gaps where air can flowthrough. Cover the gaps with aluminumflashing ($12) cut to fit and sealed intoplace with high-temperature silicone caulk($20).

To keep insulation away from a hot fluepipe, form a barrier by wrapping a cylinderof flashing around the flue, leaving a one-inch space in between. To maintain thespacing, cut and bend a series of inch-deeptabs in the cylinder's top and bottomedges.

Weatherstrip the attic access hatchA quarter-inch gap around pull-down attic

stairs or an attic hatch leaks the sameamount of air as a bedroom heating duct.Seal it by caulking between the hatchframe and the rough opening, or byinstalling foam weatherstripping aroundthe perimeter of the hatch opening. Or,you can buy a pre-insulated hatch coverkit for about $150.Tips for working in attics

•Work on a cool day.

•Wear protective gear: disposableclothes, gloves, and a double-elasticmask or half-face respirator to protectyou from the insulation.

•Bring along a droplight with a fluo-rescent bulb, plus at least two pieces ofplywood big enough to span two or threejoists to support you as you work.

•To save trips up and down a ladder,try to move up all of the materials youneed before you get started.

One warning: If you find vermiculite insula-tion, hold off until you've had it checkedfor asbestos; your health department orair-quality agency can recommend a lab.Jeanne Huber is the author of 10 booksabout home improvement and writes aweekly column about home care for theWashington Post.

By: Lisa Kaplan Gordon©HouseLogic.com

In a time of choked credit and painfully low CDrates, some home owners and their parents arecutting financial institutions out of the mort-gage picture and banking on each other.

The Bank of Mom and Dad can earn 4% or 5%on cash savings by holding the mortgage onthe kids' property. This symbiotic lending givesparents a source of income that beats the rateof return of, say, a money market fund. Foryounger folks who need a loan, it's a good wayto secure hassle-free financing at a reasonablerate.

Of course, this family lending only works if Momand Dad have enough cash to make the mort-gage, and the kids have the wherewithal tomake monthly payments. But if viewed andconducted correctly, family lending is a win-winarrangement; if not, Sunday dinners will beawkward!

A dentist friend of mine in Maryland holds thepaper on both his kids' homes. His childrenwere looking for mortgages; his savings weren'tearning much; so he gave them mortgages at4%, nearly a point below what a bank wouldhave charged, but more than triple what he wasearning on his savings.

"It helped both of us," he says.

My husband and I have been loyal customers ofGordon Savings and Loan since my mother-in-law was widowed 19 years ago and struggled to

maintain her lifestyle on safe, fixed-interestinvestments.

Through the years, we've paid Mom between4% and 9% on the interest-only mortgagesshe's held on our home and investment proper-ties. At times, we've given her a point higherthan falling mortgage rates because, after all,she's our mom, and without that extra incomewe'd have to kick in anyway.

At the end of the loans, she retrieves her princi-pal with her assets -- and pride -- intact. If shewere to die before, the loans would becomepart of her estate.

These loans work for us because we don't:•Beg banks for loans.

•Pay points.

•Spend extra money on propertyappraisals, credit checks, and bank processingfees.

We'd rather miss a limb than miss a payment;and Mom would rather cash our checks thenask her other kids for money. So, all in all, it'sworked well, but not without a few hiccups.

When the economy collapsed, Mom got nerv-ous. During a pasta dinner, she handed us a let-ter that expressed her love and called her loans.

Dawn Rickabaugh, a Los Angeles financial con-sultant who specializes in the secondary privatemortgage market, says we should have includedin our deal an escape hatch that allowed Mom

to sell all or part of the loans to a third party,just like banks do.

"Parents have to think like a bank and have anexit strategy," says Rickabaugh.

In the end, we rejiggered things and repaidsome, but not all, of Mom's loans.

Here are some lessons we've learned aboutfamily loans:

•Document loans completely and pro-fessionally. Settlement companies can draw upthe mortgage, or you can use services, such aswww.LendFriend.me, which structure, docu-ment, and manage loans made among familyand friends.

•Consider solutions to worst-case sce-narios. What happens to payments if a childloses their job or divorces? Under what circum-stances can the loan be recalled? A lawyer ormortgage writer can help you answer thesequestions.

•Make sure borrowers, aka "the kids," arefinancially stable and have equity in the proper-ty. They may have to save a little money beforethey qualify for a family loan.

•Remember that real estate isn't particu-larly liquid. If you think you'll need your invest-ment money soon or quickly, don't make along-term mortgage.

Have you ever given a loan to a family member?How did it work out?
