At Home In The Poconos

Staying fit should always be top priority, so exercising at work is a great way to stay active! Do these stretches to feel your best and prevent sore muscles while you get the job done.

Neck roll
Drop your chin down to your chest, and relax your shoulders. Do 3–5 rolls slowly in one direction, and then switch directions for the same amount.

Wall push-ups
Stand at an arm’s length facing the wall. Keeping your feet planted and your hands on the wall, push yourself to and from the wall.

If you’ve purchased a home with an existing fireplace or are interested in installing one, there are a few things you should know. There are a handful of different fireplace types—each with its own unique maintenance and operating requirements—that homeowners need to be well-versed in for safety and cosmetic purposes.

If you’ve noticed unusual signs of damage around your property, pests may be to blame. Rodents, insects and other types of pests can wreak havoc on properties and cause unforeseen damage that ends up resulting in costly repairs.

Here are four signs to look for to determine whether pests are damaging your home:

From the annoyance of a clogged drain to the nightmare of a flooded basement, plumbing problems can wreak a wide variety of havoc on a homeowner’s life.

If you’re looking to lower the interest rate on your existing loan, you may be thinking of refinancing your mortgage. And if you currently have an adjustable-rate mortgage, you may be considering switching gears entirely and taking advantage of a fixed-rate mortgage.

Anyone who wants to sell their home should get their mind in the gutter because if a house’s gutter system isn’t working properly, it can lead to many problems.

Gutters serve an extremely important purpose—directing water away from your house. Without gutters, rainwater can damage roofs, enter homes, flood basements, destroy gardens and even damage the house’s foundation.

Before putting your house on the market, you want to do everything you possibly can to help it sell fast. That usually means completing necessary fixes, making some updates, improving curb appeal and, of course, hiring a real estate agent. However, you should also prepare to make your house accessible to all potential buyers, not just through showings, but with information.
