lowe's home improvement

Home renovation and maintenance activities have been gaining prominence lately, thanks to increased stay-at-home practices amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Kennedy: Ideas for repurposing those COVID-19 masks, from beard bibs to hamster hammocks

kitchen ideas

If your family is like mine, you probably have a stack of COVID-19 face masks.

We have a basket on a table near our back door that’s overflowing with throwaway paper masks, comfy cloth masks, super-safe KN95 masks.

There are masks with valves, masks made of fleece and masks with pleats. We have masks with filters that are not being used — too complicated. There are masks that anchor around your ears, and others with elastic straps that encircle your head.

At the bottom of our basket, I even found a seersucker mask — which would be perfect on days that I decide to dress like Atticus Finch.

Our mask stockpile is sufficient for the foreseeable future.

Which brings me to today’s topic: How will we repurpose all these masks once the pandemic is over? We shouldn’t just toss them out.

This repurposing occurred to me last Sunday driving home

Considering a home purchase in retirement? Here’s how to get a mortgage

home

While home prices continue to climb upward, the average interest rate on a 30-year mortgage is low by historical standards: just below 3%.
If your tax returns don’t show enough income to qualify for a mortgage, you might be able to temporarily tap your retirement account to prove you can afford the loan.
Another option may be to qualify based on assets in that account, or explore “pledging assets” to make the purchase.

If you’re retired and are thinking about downsizing or relocating, and it involves buying a home, you might want to look into how you would finance it.

You may discover that qualifying for a mortgage is different from the last time you bought a house. Not only have lenders tightened credit during the coronavirus pandemic, retirees generally have left a steady paycheck behind.

Bank credit growth slows again in July, but consumer credit is officially in contraction

contractions

Consumer debt is down sharply because consumers have been borrowing less and have been paying down lots of debt. Since March, consumers have been borrowing between $20 and $15 billion CAD each month, but they’ve been paying down between $20 and $25 billion CAD each month at the same time. In July, we see that consumer credit issuance is down over 11% from the same time last year, but credit destroyed (or paid down) is down only 8%.

We’re seeing a similar thing happen in the business credit market. Businesses are borrowing less and have substantially increased their debt repayments. In July, credit issuance was down over 5% from the same time last year, but credit destroyed up is over 20%! If this trend continues, the bank business credit market will be in contraction before the of the year. This will have profound implications for the labor market.

The opportunity to make a home more comfortable, safer and/or more eco-friendly entices many homeowners to open their wallets. In fact, the Home Improvement Research Institute estimates that the home improvement products market will grow by more than 5% in 2018.

Homeowners might experience some sticker shock when researching home improvement projects or receiving estimates from contractors. But there are ways for budget-conscious homeowners to transform their homes and still make the most of their home improvement dollars.

A Tax Break for Defective Drywall

drywall repair

The IRS is offering some relief for taxpayers with defective imported drywall in their homes. Drywall produced in China has been linked to a rotten egg smell and corroded metal components in homes across the U.S. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has received nearly 4,000 reports from residents in 39 states about problem drywall.

The IRS is allowing homeowners to treat damages from the drywall as a deductible casualty loss. A casualty loss deduction is generally the total of your unreimbursed loss reduced by $100 ($500 for 2009) and further reduced by 10% of your adjusted gross income. You have time itemize to claim a casualty loss.

Here’s how it works:

–Damages had to occur from imported drywall installed in homes between 2001 and 2009.

–To be considered “corrosive,” drywall must meet the CPSC’s two-step identification method.

–Taxpayers can claim unreimbursed amounts paid to
