Problem Areas In The Home
Creating a work space at home
With ever increasing numbers of people opting to work from home, there’s been a shift in emphasis on home styling to incorporate a proper work space or office in the home. Only fifteen years ago, if you had a computer at home you might well have been in the minority amongst your contemporaries. Today, however, nearly every home has at least one computer or a laptop for the family to use, and many have one for the older kids to do their homework at, too.
So, although technology may have moved apace, we don’t always have an ideal space to set up a full time office in our homes. It’s all very well sitting with a laptop on your knees on the sofa in the evenings, but if all your working hours are to be spent at home, then a dedicated space is the answer. You also need a space that you can restrict the rest of the family wandering through, as you may need to switch into professional client mode at any time.
The best solution for most people is to turn one of the bedrooms into a study – if you don’t have one already. This is relatively easy to do – all you really need to buy is a decent desk and a filing cabinet. You might want to make it possible to accommodate guests in this room as well. In this case, buying a sofa bed could offer a great solution. Most guest rooms sit empty for hundreds of nights in a year, so rather than having a proper bed, having a sofa bed in an office is a far more practical solution. Otherwise, there’s something a bit strange about working in a room that is so obviously a bedroom, so go and check out a local sofa bed sale to see if you can find something that you like.
There are so many places now that you can buy cheap furniture that is still decently manufactured and hard-wearing. It needn’t break the bank to set up a home office, but it will make your working day much more productive if you can close yourself away somewhere quiet, away from the rest of the household.

Dealing with problems of damp in your home
Having damp problems in your house can not only be unsightly and depressing but also foster mould and fungi whose spores are harmful to health, especially to those with allergies.
Damp walls can have two causes: rising damp and penetrating damp.
Penetrating Damp is where water from the outside of the house is finding its way through the wall. If you find damp patches on the inside of the wall check the outside – the roof for damaged tiles, that the gutters are not blocked with leaves or rubble, downpipes are not blocked or split and that your double glazing and windows and doors are sealed properly – all these can cause water to penetrate the wall. If you find the fault you can often repair it yourself by taking simple measures such as clearing out blockages or adding extra putty or sealer to your window and door frames. [Read More...]
