When fencing your property, there’s more to consider than style. Here are some of the factors to consider when choosing a fence.
-
Budget: Fencing materials vary widely in terms of cost. Wood is generally the least expensive option to install, while materials like vinyl, metal, and composite tend to cost more up front. Installing the fence yourself can save money, but materials like brick usually mean hiring a pro.
-
Regulations: Even if you’re not in an HOA, there may be local laws dictating things like fence heights. If you’re installing a fence yourself, find out whether you need a city or county permit before you start. They can also help you determine property lines and identify underground utilities before you dig.

Why I Support THE TUNNEL TO TOWERS FOUNDATION AND BREAKTHROUGH T1D?
|
|
|
 |
|
I served over 25 years in local law enforcement with the Bakersfield Police and Kern County Sheriff's Office, retiring as a sergeant. Many colleagues and friends, including an officer in a Wasco SWAT standoff, lost their lives in the line of duty on July 25, 2021. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation paid off the family’s mortgage as part of its Fallen First Responder Home Program. My son Mason, diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 8th grade, relies on daily insulin. We support both Tunnel to Towers and the The Breakthrough T1D (JDRF) by donating a portion of our income. Learn more at t2t.org and breakthrought1d.org.!

“Etiquet” may seem like an antiquated concept that only applies in period dramas and royal families, but it basically boils down to good manners—including online. The popular portmanteau for online or emailactivity is “netiquette,” but many of these modern etiquette tips would still be recognizable to the doyenne of decorum herself, Emily Post.
-
Think before you post: Things like humor and sarcasm don't often translate well online.
-
Respect other people's privacy, like knowing when not to share photos of other people and how to use cc and bcc email fields properly (read this: microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-lifehacks/organization/what-is-bcc-etiquette).
-
Do some fact-checking before forwarding or posting something.
-
Mute the microphone during video meetings when you’re not speaking.
-
Hit “reply all” on an email only when absolutely necessary. Think about who absolutely needs the information, and use that to determine who you reply to.
A good piece of “netiquette” advice to remember is that it’s good tobehave on the internet as if online activity lives forever. Because it does.

Q: How do I get the best home for the lowest price?
A:Price is only one of several factors to consider when you purchase a home.
-
Preferences: Make two lists with one outlining your needs and the
other a list of your wants. Compare lists with other members of your
family so you are agree on what’s important before you start looking.
-
Budget: Get pre-approved by a qualified loan officer before your
search to find out what monthly mortgage payment is possible given
your debt and income.
-
Location: The “best” price is usually not the cheapest price.
Desirable locations demand higher prices. But communities with
higher prices also often retain their value the best.
-
Negotiation: Inexperienced buyers sometimes want to “lowball”
their initial offer. Too often they end up disappointed for a variety of
reasons such as competition with other buyers, a negative reaction
from the seller, and the need to start all over again if negotiations fail
