The details and custom finishes in this home did not disappoint. The main floor with its open and airy floor plan featured hardwood floors, fireplace, and custom kitchen with Viking appliances. The second floor featured two master bedrooms with laundry, and the third floor featured a flex space which could be used as party room, office space, or retreat that opened up to the third floor deck (great for watching the Colorado sunsets). The large family room located on the lower level was great for fun and games. A private guest suite was also located on this level.
The shaded back patio provided a perfect place to entertain family and friends in the summer. A quick walk allowed access to all the amenities the Highlands has to offer. Restaurants, grocery and boutiques are a short walk on Tennyson St., and another historic shopping district, Highlands Square, located at 32nd and Lowell provides more shops restaurants and street fairs.

In modern times, the daily implementation of green energy practices is on the rise. What, exactly, constitutes green power? Simply said, it’s energy that’s renewable and has a positive impact on the environment. Green energy savings can be made in all homes and this article is here to show you how.
Lower the heating costs of your water, hot tubs and pools by changing over to a heating system that is run by solar power. This is also a very efficient way to heat water and keep it at the proper temperature. While many of these upgrades have high up-front costs, they may qualify for tax credits or other rebates.
Just start using less energy every day. Unplug appliances when you’re not using them. Always turn off the television and lights when you are not using them. This is a simple tip that can help you save money, too.
Cut down on air conditioning by wearing natural fibers in the summer. Fabrics, such as cotton, draw moisture naturally from the skin, making it cooler. Wear lighter colors, as warmer colors make you feel warmer and more likely to put on artificial cold air.
Replace and clean furnace filters yearly, and check them monthly. Also, put filters on vents that dispense warm air. This can prevent anything from getting caught in the ducts.
When not being used, turn things off. Upon leaving a particular room, remember to turn of the lights, television, computer or even the entertainment center. Use a power strip for your home electronics, and turn it off when you aren’t using the equipment. If something is left in standby mode, it is still wasting power.
Don’t run the dishwasher unless it’s full in order to save energy and money. A lot of energy is wasted when only a few dishes are washed at a time. You may be shocked to learn the number of dishes that can be loaded into a dishwasher. Make sure you take time to place the dishes in properly so as to maximize the space available.
Take advantage of solar energy to heat your home’s water without breaking the bank. Look into hot water systems that run by solar power. There are systems available that circulate the heat both directly and indirectly. You’re better off with an indirect system if you are worried about pipes freezing during the winter.
It is important that if you take advantage of a dishwasher, that you only use it when you have a full load. The dishwasher cycle uses the same amounts of water and energy, whether it is full or not. When you run the dishwasher, see to it that you are using its energy-saving setting; that will allow the dishes to dry using air.
When you install a solar energy system, place the batteries close to the cells. This avoids power loss in the cable. It also lowers the possibility of shading the cable cells and lessening their output capacity.
If you love green energy and green living, consider using electric heaters less during the winter months. Dress more warmly when around the house. Wear slippers and a heavy top, and light up your fireplace or pellet stove for increased warmth at low cost. This is good for your health as well as your electric bill. Breathing cooler air at night helps keep your respiratory system healthy; you’ll avoid drying out your airways.
If you have storm windows and doors in your home it helps control air flow. This will reduce drafts, make your home more comfortable, and reduce your energy usage. Storm doors and windows can increase a home’s energy efficiency by up to 45%, which can have great impacts on utility bills.
If green energy is a concept which you embrace, minimize the use of electrical heaters during the winter months. Instead, start wearing warmer clothing indoors and use a pellet stove or fireplace to keep main living areas heated. This is good for your health as well as your electric bill. Breathing cooler air at night helps keep your respiratory system healthy; you’ll avoid drying out your airways.
It goes without saying that green energy is the trend right now. Green energy can be roughly divided into two categories: technology that reduces consumption of traditional energy sources and alternative energy sources. By utilizing the advice that has been provided to you here, you can also join the growing numbers of people who embrace the green energy lifestyle.
A solar oven is a fun and effective way to reduce your energy needs for cooking. A solar oven is very easy to make. All you need is a window, a piece of foil and a sturdy box. They don’t use any outside energy and can get up to 300 degrees.

With any business venture, the true power lies in knowledge. Real estate investing can reap great returns, but not if you buy the wrong properties. Read on to learn some great advice about getting started in real estate.
You need to decide the type of real estate you want to invest in prior to beginning your adventure. Maybe you want to flip real estate. Perhaps, you find out you like those renovation projects instead where you have to develop certain ideas from scratch. Each type requires a different commitment when it comes to work, so knowing what you want is key to honing your skills.
As with any investment, you should do research, analyze the risks and invest wisely. Review 50 – 100 properties in a given area, and use a spreadsheet to document the info. Include current asking price, how much it will take to make repairs, and how much it can get in rent. This will allow you to pick out great deals instead of ones that are bad.
Be sure that you spend a long while dealing with the business and also learning about how it works. As a result, it might be necessary to give up a few of life’s “luxuries.” To become a success, you may need to cut out golf games or long vacations.
Get to know the local property values. Rent can vary greatly from one neighborhood to another. When you get an idea of the local conditions, your decisions will be better informed.
Two guidelines must be considered prior to investing in commercial properties. First, don’t overpay for the earth. Next you never want to pay more than it is worth. Consider every aspect of the property’s value. You must settle on good findings for these numbers in order for you to make the decision to buy.
When contemplating your overall strategy, remember that your costs encompass more than just the purchase price. You also need to factor in costs for closing, staging and legal matters. Include all costs when calculating your margins.
Property values go up and down; don’t make the assumption that it will go up only. This isn’t good to think about for any property out there because this assumption is pretty dangerous. Instead, you should look for property that offers quick cash flow boosts. If the property value increases, that will be an added benefit.
There are to essential rules to making an investment in an industrial or retail property. First, avoid overpaying for the land. Do not pay too much for the business itself. Think seriously about the “as is” value of the property and what rental income could be ascertained. You will need to have both numbers working for your particular situation.
When checking investment properties, ensure the rent collected covers all or nearly all of the mortgage payments you have every month. This can help you get on the right foot. It’s really a problem if you need to dig into your own money for monthly rent since the payments won’t cover it.
Do not assume that real estate will always go up. Such a belief is hazardous no matter the market or parcel involved. To be safe, invest in a home that can quickly be flipped. The goal is to generate profit from the properties that you purchase.
If you buy a rental property, it is vital that you wisely choose your tenants. The prospective tenant should have enough funds to pay a deposit plus the rent for the first month. If they can’t manage to gather enough money, there is a high chance that they will end up falling behind on their monthly rent as well. So, the best idea is to rent to someone else.
You have started on the right foot by doing research upfront to better understand the world of investing. You always want to make sure that you are investing in properties that will be successful to your goals. Take it one step at a time and always think about each move you will make to ensure success.
When you are thinking about buying real estate, consider hiring property managers that know how to screen tenants. Since the rent they pay will pay your mortgage, you need to make sure they have good credit and habits. You might lose money if you do not do this.
These days, everyone wants to know about the world of About Jesse Sehlmeyer, but not everyone knows where to turn for the right information. Luckily, the following article has some great information to help you get started. It is up to you to apply the ideas you have reviewed.
Most people don’t think about the impact their daily appliance use has on the environment. All of these items impact the environment. You can contribute to the environment by taking advantage of the various green energy techniques available for your home. Get some ideas for going green by reading the tips below.
You can make a difference and save energy simply by taking steps to use less energy every day. Unplug alliances when they are not being used. Turn off lights, television sets and other small appliances when you are done using them. This is a simple tip that can help you save money, too.
Reduce your energy consumption by unplugging anything that is not in use, especially battery chargers. Chargers used for cell phones, laptops, mp3 players and other electronic devices use power when they’re plugged in, even if they aren’t charging your device.
You can conserve energy by shading your windows from sunlight. Another option is installing darkening shades. When you use these two things in tandem, you will find your heating and cooling bills will plummet. By blocking the sun’s rays, you will save energy and money.
Do you or your family own a farm? If you have a farm or know the owner of a farm, you may be able to rent some land to a utility company for installing a wind turbine. The energy generated can benefit your entire area without taking up much room.
Solar panels can be easily installed on your home and are used to collect energy from the sun for use in your home. There are several things that should be considered prior to installing solar panels. Think about the amount of sunlight that hits your house on an average day. If your house is usually in the shade, solar panels will provide limited additional power.
If you use heating fuel, ask a professional if you can convert your system to bio-diesel fuel system. Some systems do not need any modifications in order to use biodiesels. Biodiesel burns cleaner and more efficiently than conventional petroleum, reducing your home’s environmental impact during the winter.
Conserve energy by unplugging chargers when you aren’t using them. Chargers for your electronics, such as an iPod or cell phone, are always using electricity, even when they’re not in use, so unplug them when you can.
When you calculate the solar panel needs of your home, figure out the hours of sun you get in the winter. This way, you aren’t beyond your capacity in the winter, and you have plenty of excess power in the summer. If your plan is contingent on net usage, you will even get money back from your utility company because of the excess energy you are creating!
Take advantage of any federal or local rebates that you may be entitled to receive. There are times when your utility company can offer discounts and rebates for your upgrade costs. The federal government offers tax write-offs and other credits in return for your changes. These tax savings can reduce the net cost of installing alternative energy technology considerably.
If you are a fan of green living and green energy, try using your electric heaters as little as possible during the winter. Buy more warm clothing and use a fireplace to add heat to your home. This is good for your health as well as your electric bill. Breathing cooler air at night helps keep your respiratory system healthy; you’ll avoid drying out your airways.
Before you decide on large energy-saving projects for your home, get a professional evaluation of your existing appliances, windows and insulation and your heating and cooling systems. They can tell you if your appliances are running efficiently, and if there are changes you can make. They may also be able to offer estimates as to what it would cost to replace or upgrade your existing systems.
It’s possible you haven’t given your home’s environmental impact a lot of thought. It is possible for you to begin changing this, however, due to the fact that you have gained more knowledge about green energy. Use the ideas that work for you, both small and large, and you’ll help to make the planet environmentally safe for generations to come.
Whenever possible, keep the heat in your home turned down. Put on a sweater and sweatpants when it’s cold. When you keep the heat unnecessarily high you use far more energy than you need to–and that is expensive!
