Our Bathroom Update Project (UGH)
Wednesday, May 04, 2011
Our Cold Spring Hunt house is now 18 years old and while our master bath is completely functional, it would be a source of contention for a future buyer. Are we selling? Well, the kids are gone and the house is way too big for two people who are never home so yes, the thought crosses my mind daily. Where would we go? Good question. I'd love a little ranch on a small piece of property with a big open floor plan . . . There aren't any. AND . .. the thought of actually getting my house ready for my peers (other Realtors) to traipse through is just so overwhelming. So, the decision was to make it nice for a buyer and we'll enjoy it until that little ranch shows up!
I have chosen a contractor who I have worked with before and my first order was to remove the wallpaper. Not bad paper, but wallpaper and we all know that's a big sin!
I hate my huge tub and my smaller shower but I'm trying to do this for a reasonable amount of money and removing the tub and enlarging the shower shot the price up over where I wanted to be. We're doing new, larger tiles with some nice trim in the shower; rescuing my very nice vanity and raising it; adding granite (not my favorite, but necessary); changing shower door to clear glass and changing the fixtures. I have already been shopping for fixtures and the biggest problem is finding a faucet for the tub that matches all the new stuff out there. I'll be heading to Weinsteins Plumbing Supplies in Willow Grove as I've been told they have a huge selection.
So, stick with us as we go thru the re-do. I'll let you know costs, etc. as we go! Hopefully, by the end of May, we'll have the big Reveal!

Huge Housing Trend—The last 4 First Floor Master Bedroom Units in Fireside all sold within 6 Days!! The trend towards homes with first floor masters is growing at an incredible rate—as is the aging population. Fireside is one of very few Bucks County neighborhoods that has townhomes with first floor main bedrooms. We also have a beautiful, 13 year young ranch style home in MINT, MINT condition with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and a full finished basement. Located just 6 minutes north of Fireside in the Award Winning Neighborhood of North Branch, this meticulously cared for home is located in a neighborhood of mostly 2 story colonials on a quiet cul-de-sac and backing to protected space and a bucolic Bucks County Farm. While you will have to cut your own grass, there’s no Association Fee, so that $100.00 per month will easily cover a years worth of lawn care! 5414 Nicholas Ct Pipersville PA 18947

Tax Appeals
For all of you who appealed your taxes through us, we had our court hearing and provided the Board of Assessment with all necessary information. You should receive their final decision by mid-November, they will be in touch with you directly. Good Luck!
In this kind of Sellers Market, lots of us are staying put and doing some remodeling/additions.
The following are key elements that every remodeling contract should have:
1. The contractor’s name, address, phone number AND license number.
2. Details on what the contractor will and WON’T do.
3. A list of materials for the project in your contract. This includes information about the size, color, model, brand name and product.
4. The approximate start date and completion date.
5. All required plans. Study them carefully for accuracy. Insist that you approve them and that they are identified in your written contract before any work begins.
6. Written notice of your right to, without penalty, cancel a contract within three business days of signing it.
7. Financial terms, spelled out in a way that you have negotiated and understand them to be. This includes total price, payment schedule, and any cancellation policy.
8. A binding arbitration clause, which you’ll need in the event a disagreement occurs. Arbitration may enable you to resolve disputes without costly litigation.
9. Everything you requested. Consider the scope of the project and make sure all items you’ve requested are included. If you do not see a specific item, consider it not included. Never sign an incomplete contract.
10. A warranty covering materials and workmanship for a minimum of one year. The warranty must be identified as either “full” or “limited”. The name and address of the party who will honor the warranty (contractor, distributor or manufacturer) must be identified. Make sure the time period for the warranty is specified.
AND P.S.—Don’t wait until you sell to get your granite and that fresh coat of paint. Do it and enjoy it!!!
Here’s your To-Do List:
Go down to the basement and change your filters right now. Look at your hot water heater and see how much insulation it will need and then put it on your Lowe’s list along with batteries for your smoke detectors (even if they’re hard-wired!). If you don’t have a carbon monoxide detector, put that on your list too. HAVE your chimney cleaned (yes, it does need it) before you start burning this year! Be sure your gutters are clean before the ice comes and UNDO your hoses! Then take a nice warm bath and enjoy the day!
