Check Your Storm Shutter Hardware
We are now in the peak of Hurricane season, and we just missed a close one. Being a "true" native Floridian, I begin preparing before the season starts. However, being a new homeowner as well, there's one thing I forgot to check on this year that would've cost me valuable time had I not thought about it a few days ago. I remembered just in time to check all of the storm shutter bolts, anchors, rubber washers, and keyhole washers. Man, was I glad I did.
I've included a photo of stripped out bolts I found in the shutter anchors. I also found a few missing shutter anchors as well as two that slipped out of the wall.
Check this right now!
You can find all of the shutter hardware at Lowes or Home Depot. Also, when you're checking the storm shutter hardware, apply a little white lithium grease to the bolts so they don't bind-up inside the shutter anchor.
Get yourself prepared and be safe!

Turning Foreclosed Homes Into Rentals | Feds To Play Landlord
Image via WikipediaLast night I was reading a recent WSJ article regarding foreclosed properties. As I continued to read, I became more concerned about the role our Federal government is playing in the current housing situation. In a nutshell, the article in the WSJ states that the Feds want to allow groups of investors to purchase the glut of empty foreclosed homes and convert them to rental properties.
The Feds then want the investors to use property management companies to manage them.
Isn't this just outsourcing what the Federal government has been doing with HUD? Has that really worked?
How many of you think this is a good idea?
