The Long and the Short of ItRemember when you were a kid counting down the final 25 days of school and they seemed to take forevvvvver? now we're nearly half way through another year and i find myself wondering where the days have gone? Why does winter seem to drag out while summer speeds by?The summer season officially begins on the 21st of this month and it there's one thing we upstaters know, it's that warm, sunny days are not to be taken for grant-ed. i hope you can make time this month to get outside and do the things you enjoy. and don't forget to take time to honor or remember your dad on father's day, June 20th.
Real estate sales generally blossom during the summer months. Buyers and sell-ers are hoping to make their move so competition on both ends is heating up. if your home is on the market, or if you want to increase your home's value, don't miss this month's feature article, Ten Ways to improve Your Home's Curb appeal. simple ideas such as replacing entry door locksets, updating outdoor light fix-tures, painting entry doors and refreshing planter beds with color coordinated flowers are inexpensive ways to make a dramatic difference in the presentation of your home. if you're looking to purchase a home, a well maintained home on the outside is generally a sign that the seller takes pride in their home and has maintained the inside as well.
sit down with a cup of iced tea and take some time to look over the properties featured in this month's issue of LifeandHomes. We gladly support our community by showcasing local business services and featuring for sale listings from Realtors, investors, for sale By owners, Contractors, manufactured Home Builders, developers, and Commercial developers all in one convenient place. Browse through the property listings, articles and helpful resources, then visit www.LifeandHomes.com and use the easy search options to see even more for sale properties.
Here's to June and what we hope will be the beginning of a great summer season for both buyers and sellers.

Fascinating finds stop by www.BuilderConceptHome2010 to take a tour of what the team is calling: The most innovating Home neveR Built. The concept home is inexpensive to build and exemplifies a dramatic shift in how homes are designed and built. it’s all virtual so walk on in and take a look. www.BuilderConceptHome2010.com
skip painting the town and paint your lawn instead. You read it right- paint your lawn. easy Green Lawn Paint’s biodegradable, kid/pet safe lawn paint can be applied with a pump sprayer, lasts up to three months, dries in about an hour and instantly transforms unsightly brown lawns into a green oasis. www.easygreenlawnpaint.com
one2flush’s system screws into the tank of a conventional toilet and adjusts the amount of water used in a flush. a modified handle that replaces the traditional handle on the front of the toilet can be turned one way for “no. 1” (liquid waste) and another way for “no. 2” (solid). The savings? Thirty gallons a day for the average family! www.one2flush.com
The light on Black & decker’s Thermal Leak detector changes from red to blue when the infrared sensors detect drafts where hot/cold air are escaping. shine the light on walls, windows and doors to easily detect drafts, fix the leaks and save up to 20% off your heating and cooling costs. www.blackanddecker.com
Like the look of granite but not the price tag? Giani offers the world’s first granite countertop paint kit. apply their trademarked paint system to formica, laminate, butcherblock, tabletops, fiberglass and other surfaces to get a smooth finish with the contours of natural cut stone at a fraction of the cost. www.gianigranite.com
Totally Tubular skylightsHomeowners, green homebuilders, remodelers, roofers, even environmentalists, now have something in common. They all like bringing passive natural light into homes with tubular skylights that, while inexpensive, are highly efficient and energy star qualified.
Tim Johnson, product manager with velux america, says energy star qualified sun Tunnel skylights admit passive natural light (light without the heat emitted by electrical sources) while admitting very little of the heat that windows and other light sources produce.
“They capture light very efficiently through a weatherproof dome on the roof,” he says. “The light travels into the home through highly reflective or flexible tubing, which makes it easy to bypass obstructions in the attic, ending at a diffuser in the ceiling that looks like a traditional in-ceiling light fixture.”
in many cases, they are less expensive than traditional skylights. They start at about $200. some “super efficient” models meet the federal government’s energy efficiency criteria qualifying them for federal tax credits of up to 30 percent of the purchase and installation cost.
for information on the benefits of natural light and skylight selection, or for free house plans incorporating skylights, call (800) 283-2831 or visit veluxusa.com. for government information on window and skylight energy efficiency visit energystar.gov and for
independent agency information visit
nfrc.org or efficientwindows.org. (aRa)
Light Up Your NightsWhen the sun goes down, the right landscape lighting can turn any backyard into a stylish outdoor living space. With so many options, it’s easy to fill your nights with light to enhance security, decor and entertainment.
Garden and landscape designer John Carloftis offers these simple tips to light up your nights:
* Keep your lighting simple. start with one main lighting source and add accent lighting to highlight garden features. don’t over-light. it wastes energy, is costly and unappealing.
* for illuminating your entryway, deck and patio, use lighting that mimics moonlight, like new solar-powered lighting systems.
* stagger path lights. Be creative.
* skip the complicated wiring and costly electric bills by using new solar lights.
The latest high tech solar-powered outdoor lighting appliances come in styling that’s durable and low-maintenance. They harness the sun’s power by day, and when provided with enough light energy from the sun, last throughout the night.
so whether you want hours of lighting for your entryways or for evening outdoor entertainment, look to the sun to light up your nights. (aRa)
for safety when children are in the pool, designate a “water watcher” to maintain uninterrupted supervision of children in the pool at all times. When not in use, keep toys and other objects out of the pool area, and don’t use chlorine dispensers that look like animals or toys that will attract children.

newsshortssave on summer Home ImprovementsWith summer in the air, you’re just itching to get that home improvement project going. It’s a great time to install a rain garden, redo your windows or siding, or even change the look of one of the rooms inside your house with new paint and furniture.
Here are some tips to get your home improvement projects going, while keeping a bit of extra cash in your pocket:
* if you have any handy talents, you can save a lot of money by doing the project yourself.
* offer your friends a trade for their work – maybe you’ll take them out for dinner. or volunteer your services on one of their home improvement projects.
* Look for online coupons. You can find great deals on supplies from leading home improvement retailers including Home depot, ace Hardware, american Blind, Lumber Liquidators and many more using online coupons and discount codes through like ebates.com. and at ebates.com, not only can you get discounts for free shipping, or reduced prices at more than 1,200 online stores, but you will also get a check back in the mail for a percentage of what you purchase online.

Inhabable FoodLe Whif, the brainchild of Harvard Professor david edwards, is making a run as the next new food craze. Le Whif explains their products as, “ a fun way to experience chocolate without calories and coffee without the cup.” Take a quick puff from the lipstick shaped tube to experience the intense flavor without the calories.(source: lewhif.com)
Show Me The SavingsThe Department of Energy reports water heating can account for 14 to 25 percent of the energy consumed in a residential home. “Green” advocates are touting solar power as a viable option to reduce those costs and applaud Congress’ decision to extend the federal solar tax credit for another eight years.
Through the tax credit program, it’s reported homeowners can recoup 30 percent of the total installed cost of a solar thermal water heating system. on average, if you install a solar water heater, your water bills should drop 50-80 percent. Will the general public make the switch? With average installation projected to cost $6,500 to $11,000 - and some complex systems running as much as $12,000 - it’s unclear what percentage of the population Congress hopes will sign up for the tax credit.
‘air’ on The Side of SafetyThe U.S. Department of Energy says properly inflated tires can improve fuel economy by 3.3 percent and help you save 9 cents per gallon at the pump. The National Highway Traffic Safety Association estimates that under-inflated tires contribute to more than 600 fatalities and 33,000 injuries a year.
fewer than 8 percent of vehicles have four properly inflated tires, according to a Rubber manufacturers association-sponsored national survey.
Be tire smart – play your “P.a.R.T.” That stands for pressure, alignment, rotation, and tread, all key elements of monthly tire maintenance.
* Pressure: Check tire pressure monthly before you drive with a tire gauge and inflate to vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pressure.
* Alignment: misalignment of wheels can cause uneven and rapid tread wear.
* rotation: Rotate every 5,000 to 8,000 miles to help you achieve more uniform wear.
* Tread: Bald tires are dangerous. insert a penny, head first, into the tread groove. if you see all of Lincoln’s head, it’s time for a new tire.

if you think having great curb appeal is only important if you’re trying to sell your home, think again. Your house is one of your biggest investments and making a great first impression will leave everyone - not just potential buyers - wanting to see what’s inside. With 10 simple improvements, you can easily transform your home into the best looking house on the block.
There are a number of quick fixes you can complete in just one day that will make a big impact on your exterior. •replace old hardware. it’s the little things that make a big difference. Update your dated or dingy house numbers, entry door lockset and overhead light fixture. each of these elements can add style and interest to your home’s exterior, especially if you incorporate a great finish option like oil-rubbed bronze or brushed nickel. •Make over your mailbox. Your mailbox should complement the style and color of your house. Restore your existing mailbox with a fresh coat of paint or stain that matches the trim, color and woodwork of your house. •tame planter beds and landscaping. if your beds are overrun with weeds and unsightly growth, you’ll need to get them under control to give your home a well-manicured look. Prune, pull weeds and plant flowers to add color. add a fresh layer of mulch and your yard will look as good as new. •illuminate your walkway. adding low-voltage solar lighting to your front walkway can have a big impact on your home’s curb appeal. it also provides added safety and security. if you don’t have a walkway, string accent lighting in the trees for a whimsical-looking effect. •freshen up the front door. The front entry is the focal point of your home’s curb appeal. To keep it looking free of abuse from the elements and use, clean off any dirty spots and remove any loose paint. if your door is beyond repair, install a new version that reflects the design of your house. once you’re all set, be sure to add a piece of decorative flair, like a wreath or door knocker that showcases your personality to the outside world.
In just a couple of days, you can boost the beauty of your home with easy upgrades. •renew paint and trim. Give your home an exterior facelift by adding a new coat of paint or stain. You’ll automatically update the look of your home by fixing any obvious defects, like loose paint, fading colors or cracks in your trim and fence. Be sure to use high-quality painting tools to get a professional-looking
finish, like the Pro-extra brush from Purdy. The extra length and thickness of the filaments on quality paint-brushes provide superior paint-holding capacity and are specially designed for all exterior paints and stains.•replace gutters and downspouts. if your gutters are loose and worn out, not only do they look neglected, but they’re also a danger to guests. To prevent any injuries, as well as improve the overall appearance, install a new, snap-fit gutter system that go together with a few tools for an easy and important upgrade. •Add shutters or accent trim. everything on the exterior of your home should be a reflection of what’s inside. To mirror the pulled-together appearance of your indoor rooms, install shutters and trim to provide an extra layer of interest on the exterior. not
only do shutters help control light and ventilation, but new materials such as PvC resins or polyurethane make them durable and low maintenance.
Using a little elbow grease and taking extra time on some projects can reap huge rewards for your home in the long run. •Upgrade railings. Porch and stoop railings deteriorate over time and can become loose. if yours are past their prime, look for quality wood or metal replacements. make sure the color, scale, design and details coordinate with the rest of your home’s main features. •dress up the drive. if your driveway is cracked, stained or has weeds sprouting up from it, now may be time to show it some TLC. Upgrade it without completely starting over. Repair any cracks or stains and be sure to kill the weeds and then add some extra character by staining the concrete or affixing flagstone. for additional flair, add stone, bricks or pavers to the sides for a completely custom look.
With these easy curb appeal cures, your home will be the envy of all your neighbors. For more information about the Pro-Extra series or other Purdy painting products, visit purdycorp.com.

There is plenty of room for guests in the four bedroom, one bath guest house, and a one or two bedroom studio apartment with a bath over the heated garage. On the large deck overlooking the Lake of the Isles is the lakehouse, an enclosed three season space with a gas fi replace and air conditioning.

The walkout basement has a bedroom w/bath that opens out into a mudroom and an attached heated garage. The master bedroom/loft over-looks the great room below. One room is ideal for a home offi ce and there is a possible fourth bedroom above that. There is storage galore in the house and two additional garage/storage buildings outside. One building has a cedar lined loft. Move into your sanctuary in the woods. Only minutes from Alex Bay and the river and 30 min to Ft Drum.
$82,500 • Co. Route 100 • FineviewSpacious ranch on Wellesley Island at a great price. Needs some work but has lots of pluses. Large kitchen, lots of storage, large family room, and quiet back yard with woods behind. Located just across the road from the river and main shipping channel. Great home for customs and immigration agents or coast guard as it’s only minutes from the border or use as a summer home without the high waterfront taxes.

You can't watch television or read a newspaper without being reminded of the uncertain times we're in. disappearing jobs, disturbing stock market losses — we don't need to tell you, it's rough out there.
This has made retirement planning more complicated than ever. from october 2007 to last december, the market lost nearly $3 trillion in retirement savings.1 many who were counting on their 401(k)s don't even read their account statements anymore.
the truth About social securityBut other factors have muddied the waters for mapping a course toward retirement. People are living longer. an american born in 1955 was expected to live to age 69, on average. forty years later, life expectancy was 76.2 This is good news; but, we need to prepare for more years of retirement.
and, if you thought social security would take care of you, think again. Last year, the maximum monthly benefit was $2,1853 — not enough for many of you to live comfortably.
While there are no easy solutions, the purchase of a life insurance policy can guarantee4 the protection of your loved ones and additionally supplement your retirement savings,5 if the death benefit is no longer needed. leaving a legacyLife insurance’s primary purpose is to provide guaranteed death benefit protection, which can provide a tax-free legacy to your loved ones. But, permanent life also carries many living benefits. Cash value is money that accumulates within the policy, tax deferred. This means you do not pay taxes on any of the accumulation within the policy. in addition, you can access that money tax free though policy loans.5,6 These same funds can also be used for college expenses, as collateral for a small business loan, or any other happily anticipated or unexpected event.
in addition to the death benefit protection provided by life insurance, it can also be used to supplement your retirement income. as such, it can be a vital piece of the complex puzzle of retirement planning.
