Home Improvement Tips for Your Car that Can Save You Money
(BPT) - Do you tend to put off some tasks, especially mundane ones like those pesky home improvement chores? While procrastination is not uncommon, staying on top of the chores not only can help keep you organized, it can save you money. Take cleaning your garage, for example. With the winter season rapidly approaching, now is a good time to take stock on just how cluttered it is. More than likely you’ll see there’s too much stuff around, and possibly not even enough space for one of the most important items in your garage: your car.
Start cleaning now because you really don’t want to keep your car or truck outside during the rainy/snowy season. In short, winter can wreak havoc on your vehicle, including the tires. “The colder climate definitely can alter your tire pressure,” says Pat Keating, senior manager, technical engineering for Yokohama Tire Corporation, manufacturer of everything from ultra-high performance tires to passenger car and SUV tires, including the GEOLANDAR G015 that’s built for any weather condition, including snow.
“Maintaining your tire pressure is extremely important because tires affect everything from braking to steering to fuel efficiency,” Keating says. “As the season turns to winter, tires can lose up to 10 percent of their pressure. A tire that is under-inflated by only 8 psi can reduce fuel economy up to 2 percent, which will affect your drive and can cost you money at the gas pump.”
Five minutes a month to check your tire’s air pressure is all it takes to maintain proper inflation and save money, according to Keating.
And who couldn’t use extra money these holidays? The cash can come handy when everyone’s driving more and spending more.
“The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) recommends checking the tires when they are cold — at least four hours since the vehicle was last driven.” Keating added. “Always use an accurate tire gauge and make sure the valve is free of debris and water.”
The correct tire pressure is specified by the manufacturer of the vehicle, not the tire manufacturer. The proper inflation levels can be found on a placard on the inside of the car door and/or in the owner’s manual.
P lacing your tires on your “home improvement check list” can save you cash in the long run. Keating offers some other tire tips that will help you this winter season:
* Check your tread depth by placing a penny upside down into a tread groove. If you can see all of Lincoln’s head, your tire’s tread has worn down to the legal limit and you need to buy new tires.
* Tires must be replaced when the tread is worn down to 2/32 of an inch (the lowest legal limit). It's best to replace them before they reach 2/32 depending on your drive (geographically and type of streets).
* Rotating your tires regularly promotes even wearing of tread. Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles.
* Checking your alignment at least once a year or sooner, especially if the vehicle is pulling to one side. This will help avoid uneven wear on tire tread. Tire balance should also be monitored.

Real Estate...
Autumn and Early Winter:
Best Times to be a Homebuyer
(BPT) - The long-held belief that summer is the only time to buy a home is fading fast. Savvy home-buyers are learning that when temperatures drop, numerous benefits emerge that simply aren't available other times of the year.
"With warm weather and many homes on the market, summer is generally the busiest real estate season. However, autumn into early winter can be opportune times for people who are serious about buying a home, too" says Geoff Lewis, RE/MAX, LLC President. "This time of year has big advantages - like motivated sellers and less competition - that simply can't be ignored."
If you're in the market to purchase a home, there's no need to hang up your house-hunting hat until spring or summer. Lewis offers eight reasons why now might just be the best time to purchase a home.
Year-end tax breaks
As long as you close on the property on or before Dec. 31, any property tax and mortgage interest paid are tax-deductible for that year. This can dramatically impact the amount of money you owe Uncle Sam, or increase your refund.
Less competition
The National Association of Realtors(R) recently noted that, in an average year, nearly half of all home sales occur from May to August. Although most people wait until the hustle and bustle of the spring selling season, you'll likely encounter less competition during fall and winter. That means less stress and a reduced chance you'll be involved in a bidding war.
Eager sellers
Sellers become more motivated the longer their home is on the market, especially now that the summer rush is over. If a home has been listed for a while, it may allow buyers more room for negotiation and potentially a better deal.
Quicker transactions
Motivated sellers paired with less-busy title companies may mean a faster closing in fall and winter. Do you want a new home in time for the holidays or new year? It's entirely possible when you house hunt now.
Cheaper moving prices
You're probably planning to hire a moving company in some capacity, whether you're moving across town or across the country. In the fall and winter moving companies tend to be less busy, which means you might have the options of more flexible schedules and lower prices.
Easier to outfit your home
Need a new couch, cutlery or curtains for your home? Year-end sales are perfect for scoring a deal on these otherwise expensive items. Plus, if you move in around the holidays, there are plenty of deals on house-warming gifts.
"In addition to all these benefits for buying post-selling season, interest rates for home loans are still at record lows," says Lewis.

Brunch With The Author
The Friends of the Bangor Public Library will host their Fall “Brunch with the Author” on Saturday, November 12th @ 10:00 AM. Local author, Anna Maria Caldera will be the featured author. She will be presenting. Sherwood Anderson on Life and Writing. This is Anna’s tenth book and one that pays homage to her favorite author, Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941). Anderson was a chronicler of the common person during the post- Civil War industrialization of America. A recurring theme was the effect of factories on farmers whose connection to the land had been severed. While popular magazines, novels, and screen plays of the day upheld the wealthy as the subjects of greatest interest, Anderson’s literary output focused on the lowly. Ms. Caldara will familiarize the audience with Anderson’s work and his advice to writers.
The event is free, but donations will be accepted. Registration for attendance is required by calling the library at 610-588-4136. The library is located at 39 South Main Street, Bangor, PA. For additional information contact: Karen Brewer @ 610-588-8615.
