  Essex builders Cutting Edge Carpentry & Construction exsplain the rules behind permitted development.

  In the excitement of a loft project and planning the new interior, it is often forgotten to plan just how the outside of the property will look after the loft is converted. Yet, external loft conversion designs are hugely important.

  Even though most styles and sizes are now OK because of the new permitted development laws a tasteful exterior that blends with the surrounding environment will not only look good but it will easily increase the value of the property.

  One style that won?t be permitted, and we should all be thankful for it, is the huge, squat and ugly dormers that were flung up during the1980s. These blots on the landscape are truly awful and no way will a householder be allowed to build one today.

  Permitted Development

  In October 2008 new permitted development regulations were adopted by the government which allowed homeowners greater freedom in designing and building extensions including loft conversions.

  Basically, the new regulations mean that a loft conversion is a permitted development and does not require planning permission as long as certain criteria are fulfilled. This makes it very much easier for the homeowner when considering external loft conversion designs as most projects, even those involving the building of a new gable end, do not have to go through the planning process.

  One caveat here though; remember that all loft conversions need to meet the building regulations. The building regulations shouldn’t be confused with planning permission; the building regulations are there to ensure a that all work is done to an acceptable standard. Read the difference between building regulations and planning permission for more details.

  Essex builders on The Permitted Development Regulations

  There is no need for the homeowner to apply for planning permission for his project if:

  *50 cubic meters can be added to the roof space of a detached or semi-detached house falling to 40 cubic meters on terraced properties.

  * Dormers will not be permitted to the elevation of any roof that fronts on to a highway.

  * Any extension should be no higher than the ridge line of the existing property

  * Dormers should be set back from the eaves by a minimum of 20 cm.

  * Verandas, balconies or raised platforms will not be permitted.

  And that is just about it. As long as your project takes those five factors into account than the loft conversion will be considered a permitted development that does not require consent.

  Those projects that do contravene those guidelines will not necessarily be refused planning permission but a full planning application will need to be made by the homeowner.

  Exterior Loft Conversion Designs

  Unlike inside the roof space the options for external design is quite narrow. One option is that flush fitting skylights can be installed if there are no issues with headroom.

  Installing skylights is very straight forward and they won’t add much to the bottom line of the budget; your design considerations will probably be limited to deciding how many skylights to have, their size and how to position them so that the new loft room benefits from the maximum amount of natural light.

  If, however, the internal space is not very large than some sort of dormer on the reverse side of the roof will be the answer. Again, the only real considerations will be the size and how to blend the dormer into the existing building.

  Once you have decided on the external loft conversion designs than the fun in actually designing the new loft rooms themselves can begin.

• Essex Builders | Landscape Design

  Jul 22nd 2010

  Essex builders Cutting Edge Carpentry & Construction talk about the main things to consider when planing for your landscaping project.

  Whether you plan on “borrowing ideas” or plan on creating your own landscaping design, you should have at the very least a basic understanding of the principles of landscape design.

  This doesn’t mean that you have to apply every principle to every part of your plan. But just having an understanding of these principles will help you generate ideas and increase your creativity.

  Great landscaping lies in the eyes of the its creator. So, while the principles of landscape design are great guidelines to follow, don’t feel like they’re the “have to rules” of landscaping. Abstract and creativity are allowed.

  Essex builders belives that Unity should be one of your main goals in your design. It may be better understood and applied as consistency and repetition. Repetition creates unity  by repeating alike elements like plants, plant groups, or decor throughout the landscape. Consistency creates unity in the sense that some or all of the different elements of the landscape fit together to create a whole.

  Unity can be achieved by the consistency of character of elements in the design. By character, I mean the height, size, texture, color schemes, etc. of different elements.

  A good example would be in the use of accent boulders. If you’ve ever seen a landscape design that had one large white round boulder here and another large red square granite boulder there and so on, then you’ve seen that unity wasn’t created by this specific element.

  This is just one example but the principle applies to all other elements such as groups of plants and materials.

  A simple way to create unity in your landscape is by creating themes. And one of the simplest ways to create themes is by using a little garden decor or garden statues. Creating a theme garden is easier when it’s related to something you’re interested in or have a passion for.

  If you’re into butterflies for instance, you could create a theme using plants that attract butterflies as well as using statues, ornaments, and other decor that are related to butterflies.

  Unity should be expressed through at least one element in your landscape and preferably more. Using elements to express a main idea through consistent style and a specific theme is what creates harmony.

  Essex builders also belive that Simplicity is actually one of the principles in design and art. It’s one of the best guidelines you can follow as a beginner or do it yourselfer. Just keep things simple to begin with. You can do more later.

  Simplicity in planting, for instance, would be to pick two or three colors and repeat them throughout the garden or landscape. Keeping decor to a minimum and within a specific theme as well as keeping hardscapes such as boulders consistent is also practicing simplicity.

  Balance in design is just as the word implies. Equality. There are basically two types of balance in landscape design. Symmetrical and Asymmetrical.

  Symmetrical balance is where there are more or less equally spaced matching elements of the garden design. With a garden equally divided, both sides could share the same shape, form, plant height, plant groupings, colors, bed shapes, theme, etc.

  You may remember creating something like this when you were a kid in art class at school. Where you take a piece of paper, splash paint on it, fold it in half, unfold it, and then it magically creates an interesting symmetrical design. So symmetrical balance or design is somewhat of a mirror image or reflection.

  Asymmetrical balance on the other hand is one of the principles of landscape design that’s a little more complex. While textures, forms, colors, etc. may remain constant to create some unity, shapes and hardscapes may be more random. This form of balance often has separate or different themes with each having an equal but different type of attraction.

  A good example of this would be where bed shapes or paths differ on both sides of the dividing line. One side could be curvy with a sense of flow while the other side is straight, direct, and hard.

  This can also create a neat contrast. Flowing lines are pleasing to the eye but the bold contrast of a curve with a straight line can be very interesting.

  Asymmetrical balance isn’t necessarily limited to just the shape of your garden.

  An example might be where one side of the garden is mostly large shade trees while the other side is predominately a lower growing flower garden or even a mix of both examples. This is only limited to your imagination.

  Contrast and harmony can also be achieved using plants. Fine foliage verses coarser foliage, round leaves verses spiked leaves as well as color compliments and contrasts.

  Plant height, color, and texture may be varied from one area to the next but each area should stay consistent within its own theme.

  You’ll hear me talk about “themes” a lot. Many successful do it yourself designs follow a basic theme to achieve most of the principles of landscape design described on this page. The proper use of plants and garden decor or a mix of both is a simple way to achieve themes.
  

  Color adds the dimension of real life and interest to the landscape. Bright colors like reds, yellows and oranges seem to advance toward you and can actually make an object seem closer to you. Cool colors like greens, blues, and pastels seem to move away from you and can make an object seem farther from you.

  Grays, blacks, and whites are considered neutral colors and are best used in the background with bright colors in the foreground. However, to increase depth in a landscape, you can use dark and coarse textured plants in the foreground and use fine textured and light colored plants in the background.

  Colors can also be used to direct your attention to a specific area of the garden. A bright display among cooler colors would naturally catch the eye.

  Natural transition can be applied to avoid radical or abrupt changes in your landscape design. Transition is basically gradual change. It can best be illustrated in terms of plant height or color but can also be applied to all elements in the landscape including but not limited to textures, foliage shape or size, and the size and shape of different elements.

  In other words transition can be achieved by the gradual, ascending or descending, arrangement of different elements with varying textures, forms, colors, or sizes.

  An example of a good transition would be a stair step effect from large trees to medium trees to shrubs to bedding plants. This example is where a little knowledge of proper plant selection would come in handy.

  Transition is one of the principles of landscape design that can be used to “create illusions” in the landscape. For example a transition from taller to shorter plants can give a sense of depth and distance (like in a painting), making the garden seem larger than it really is. A transition from shorter to taller plants could be used to frame a focal point to make it stand out and seem closer than it really is.

  Line is of the more structural principles of landscape design. It can mostly be related to the way beds, walkways, and entryways move and flow.

  Straight lines are forceful and direct while curvy lines have a more natural, gentle, flowing effect.

  Proportion simply refers to the size of elements in relation to each other. Of all the principles of landscape design, this one is quite obvious but still requires a little thought and planning. Most of the elements in landscape design can be intentionally planned to meet the proper proportions.

  For instance if you are creating a small courtyard garden, an enormous seven foot garden statue placed in the center would be way out of proportion and a little tacky to say the least. Or a small four foot waterfall and pond placed in the center of a large open yard would get lost in the expanse.

  Don’t misunderstand this to mean that if you have a large yard you can’t have smaller features or garden decor. Proportion is relative and elements can be scaled to fit by creating different rooms in the garden. The goal is to create a pleasing relationship among the three dimensions of length, breadth, and depth or height.

  A small water feature can be proportionate if placed in a corner or on the edge of a large area and becomes a focal point of the larger area while creating its own distinct atmosphere. An entire room, sitting area, or theme can be created around it. Other rooms and themes can be created as well. See small gardens for ideas on creating rooms and creating illusions.

  Also, special consideration and study should be given to proper plant selection to avoid using plants that are out of proportion.

  Repetition is directly related to unity. Its good to have a variety of elements and forms in the garden but repeating these elements gives variety expression.

  Unity is achieved by repeating objects or elements that are alike. Too many unrelated objects can make the garden look cluttered and unplanned.

  There’s a fine line here. It’s possible that too much of one element can make a garden or landscape feel uninteresting, boring and monotonous.

  However, unity can still be created by using several different elements repeatedly. This in turn keeps the garden interesting.

  Essex builders Cutting Edge Carpentry & Construction explain what to look out for when having an house extension.

  It’s quite common for people to outgrow the house that they live in. As the family gets older we collect or ‘horde’ more and more things that take up room and as children get older, more space is needed to live in.

  With current house prices at a low it doesn’t quite make sense to sell up and move house because the likelihood is that the value of your house will have gone down slightly.

  One of the best options is to increase the habitable living area by building an extension. House extensions in Essex and house are fast becoming the best way to beat the property slump according to local building specialists.

  Essex builders (C.E.C.C.) Believe that the major advantages of house extensions is that not only does it create extra living space for you and your family right now, it also adds value to your house so when the market is right and you do come to sell your property you will profit from your investment.

  House extensions come in all shapes and sizes and will differ drastically to your requirements, budget and footprint of your land.

  As a general price guide a house extension can cost approximately £1100 square metre so if you create a new room that is 4 metres by 4 metres this could cost around the £17,600 mark plus all associated fees such as planning permission, architects, surveyors etc however that investment could easily be recouped when you come to sell your house as you have created an extra room that serves more habitable living space.

  Although it can be exciting to think that a single room can increase the value of your house, it’s important to plan properly as a well planned project will result in fewer problems during and after the project, with Essex builders Cutting Edge Carpentry & Construction this will never be an issue.

  The general process and most important things to think about when planning a house extension are:

  Think about and sketch some basic layouts and plans yourself.
  Approach an architect with your rough sketches who will be able to translate and mould your plan into a cost effective and feasible blueprint.
  Get planning permission using you plans from your architects.
  Using the finished plans from your architects you can then shop around and get some quotes from builders.

  When agreeing the contract with the builder it can be useful to agree a breakdown of the payment at different stages of the project as this will incentivise your builder to work as closely to the project deadlines as possible.

  What’s The Best Type Of Home Extension?

  Now that homeowners have got the message that moving house is virtually out of the question, what happens if you really do need some more living space?

  What Are My Home Extension Options?

  Most of us tend to run out of space irrespective of what size of home we have. The desire to hoard and hold bits and pieces is overwhelming and within a few years we really do run out of space.

  The simplest way to create more space is not to have a home extension but to have a massive clear out. It’s relatively inexpensive task and could possibly net you some cash to buy even more bits and pieces that you could dispose of in a few years from now.

  Seriously though, if you are hard pressed for space and possibly cash, look at it as a 1st option. In any case if you had any kind of serious home extension you would need to reappraise the whole house and its contents as quite a bit of displacement occurs after a home extension.

  Lets face it, if you add on a kitchen extension you don’t end up with two kitchens. It is far more likely that eating areas are increased which in turn frees up some living space.

  Why Do I Need a Home Extension?

  Just living in a cluttered home is enough for most of us to want to move house or create a bigger home but before we start getting quotes it might be a good idea to have a good look at our existing space and to try and work out our actual needs.

  The dads will always want a study room or extra tv room whilst the mums will be after a larger kitchen, utility room or just store room. As for the kids the most popular option will be a games room, their own tv room or a den for themselves to hang out with friends.

  It may be that a change in family circumstance has occurred and you now work from home, have a new baby on the way or you your Mum or Dad is coming to live with you so there are many different reasons for a home extension. The main thing is to ignore popular trends and if you must extend your home do a home extension that actually meets your needs.

  Home Extension Options

  Probably the most common form of home extension is a kitchen extension. This work compiled with a bit of good design and some open planning will usually create a more modern living space that is great for all the family in that you will undoubtedly end up with more living space.

  Loft Conversions

  Converting the loft is another very popular home extension. Here you generally end up with another bedroom and en-suite bathroom as the most common form of conversion. This form of home extension is ideal for a growing family and teens rather than older people who may find the staircase a bit of an obstacle in the long term.

  Basement Conversion Costs

  A basement conversion is one of the least popular options for a home extension mainly because of the costs which runs at about three times more than a loft conversion or home extension.

  Garage Conversion

  The past few years have seen a huge increase in Garage Conversions and it’s not surprising as garage conversion cost on average between £7,000 – £10,000 which comes in about 25% of a loft conversion and 18% the cost of an average kitchen extension. Other advantages are that it can be used for almost anything and if necessary given independent access.

  Conclusion

  The overwhelming conclusion is the garage conversions offer up the best value as a home extension or an increase in living space.

  Converting a Large Room into a Self-Contained Living Space

  Some people who have an elderly parent have created self-contained living spaces within their existing homes, as an alternative to using a home for the elderly or a sheltered housing scheme. By turning a large room, or perhaps two smaller ones, into an independent living environment, the home owner is able to allow their parent to continue to live with dignity, and to be able to interact closely with the rest of the family on a daily basis.

  How to Find the Sweetest deal

  Many builder stores and hardware are present today and I am pretty sure that you can find one just within your block. The key is being patient. You need to scour every possible place to buy the cheapest hardwood floors and other materials that you will need. Getting quotes in various stores can help you compare not only the prices but also the quality of each material and the quality of work that they give during the installation.

  The landscape design market is booming. But what is booming along with it is the market of the online software that actually helps you design a landscape for your own house. I think it is a brilliant innovation. The advantages of the same are manifold. Not only do you save on the money that you would be giving to a professional landscaper, you will also actually be putting yourself into the design. Each and every corner in your house can now be a reflection of you and your family.

  People in the United States spend a huge amount of money in landscape architecture as property is considered as the most important investment there. After all, it is an investment that will bring years of enjoyment, peace and harmony at your property. However, it is very important to understand all aspects of landscaping so that the money is not wasted and also that your landscape architects do not cheat you. Also, it is very vital to understand that the landscape should reflect your personality and not vice-versa. So do not overdo anything.

  While choosing a landscape design for your house, considering the geographical and climatic conditions of your area is of utmost importance. For example, planning lush green lawns bordered with exotic flowers in an area where drought is a high possibility would be rather foolish. In contrast, a rock garden in a rocky terrain would be a fantastic idea. Also, in an area where water is available in plenty around the year, a water feature like a pond that reflects the sky and the surrounding surfaces can add depth and dimension to your landscape.

  Along with the softwares, there are also a huge number of online websites that provide help. Some sites are owned by professional landscapers who fill their website with beautiful pictures of what they could your backyards into. However, some are in it for the pure pleasure of landscaping and fill their sites with very useful home landscape design ideas and tips.

  Some of the easy to use and inexpensive landscape design software available for home landscape design over the Internet are:

  Plan 3D: is an online landscape design service that helps you create home landscape with features available for walks, drives, patios, trees and planting. It lets you view your design from any angle.
  Instant Architect Home (Broderbund Software): provides the ability to design your own home or landscape and is very intuitive in nature. Hence, no previous experience is required.
  Fences and Gates: software helps design fences and gates in an artistic manner. It also provides a list of all the materials that will be required to build the fence after the design has been finalized.
  3D Home Architect Home & Landscape: provide easy to use home and landscape design solutions, which also contains a complete set of landscape design tools. It uses the latest design techniques and technologies to make designing a very enjoyable experience.
  35 Do It Yourself Backyard Project Plans: allows building 35 different projects for your backyard. It allows a combination of 10 sheds, 3 playhouses, 3 gazebos, 3 arbors, 2 picnic tables, a deck, a doghouse, a sandbox, fence and a loveseat. This is very inexpensive software and permits printing of plans.
  Realtime Landscaping PRO (Idea Spectrum): helps you visualize even the most demanding landscape design projects. Using the latest advances in 3D technology, even beginners will find it easy to plan and visualize design ideas.
  Realtime Landscaping PLUS (Idea Spectrum): helps create highly realistic 3D and photo based landscape designs. This software is ideal for homeowners as well as professional designers. The plus point is that no CAD or prior architectural experience is required.

  Loft Conversions – All the Rage

  If you are lucky enough to have a decent loft space above your home you may without knowing already be in possession of prime piece of extra real estate. Loft conversions are becoming ever more popular as home owners seek extra living space for themselves and at the same time increase the value of their property.

  Rather than by a new property, many people are now deciding to simply expand what they already own and improving quality of living in doing so. If eventually they decide to move on, the loft conversion will almost definitely add value to your property with amounts varying depending on location, style of property and conversion cost. For example a loft conversion in London will reflect generally in the property values of that area.

  Some estate agents say that having a loft conversion to increase your living space can work out being 75 percent cheaper than simply buying a new property of the same size. (Including loft conversion)

  Loft conversions have come a long way in recent years now that the conversions are finished to very high standards, having to meet all the legal building regulations. In days gone by, loft conversions tended to be extremely rudimentary and the building and fire regulations are a world away from what they were back in the sixties for example.

  So if you have that loft or attic space just wasting away and gathering dust, then why not consider an exciting loft conversion that could make your life more comfortable or your property sale more profitable.

  Discovering the Layers of Bathroom Lighting

  Bathroom lighting is not a simple matter. It involves several layers of light. Like any indoor lighting, it must follow a certain principle. This principle involves supplying the room with the essential ambient, task and accent lighting. Providing illumination is more than just affixing a light source in the ceiling. It is an art where execution of the elements is very crucial. To help you understand what this is all about, let us discover the different layers of bathroom lighting.

  Bathroom Light Fixtures Make Bathrooms Look Bright and Safe, Grand and Great

  The easiest way to give a touch of glamour and brilliance to the old and dull-looking bathroom area is to introduce some brand-new and different sets of bathroom light fixtures. You don’t have to embroil yourself with changing those still functional and gorgeous marble tiles you have nor do you need to take out every faucet and pipe and get into some serious and costly renovations.

  E Cigarettes – Changing the Language of Smoking

  the electronic cigarette doesn’t actually produce any smoke. There is no ignition, no burning and no smoke. Instead, a liquid nicotine, or e-liquid, is heated inside an atomiser which produces an aqueous-based vapour and this is what you see being exhaled from the e-smoker or “vaper”.

  Most homes recently built have new larger garages. Thus, the owners of such homes do not have much difficulty accommodating their storage and parking needs. But if you on the other hand have a home with a rather smaller garage area, it is time that you opt for remodeling this space. There are other benefits upon doing this project for your home other than providing you with bigger parking space and storage area.

  The existing garage in your home can be easily converted into another living area. This structure has the basic components such as foundation, walls and roof for a new functional place. Especially if you have the type of garage with appropriate wiring and plumbing, there is no longer the trouble of making this area your new comfortable haven. There are simple things you could do in remodeling this part of the house. However before you can proceed with this project, carefully examining your existing space is crucial. Here are some planning tips prior to installing new components in your garage:

  Review your space – look into its size. See how you can expand or divide it to provide a room for other functions other than parking your vehicle. Make a rough draft – create a layout drawing of the space’s current look. Opposite it, draw another layout with your new design. It is important that you include all the details including extra installations like windows, doors, storage cabinets and other fixture and furniture. Should you consider reworking the electrical wiring, lighting assignments and plumbing, consult professionals. List down all conversion materials – as you go along the layouts, simultaneously jot down the things you will need for the remodeling job from paints, nails and hooks to lumber pieces and fixtures such as doors and windows. Budgeting – write down the projected costs for each item. It would be easier that as you do the previous task of listing that you get quotations from home improvement or hardware stores. To make things a lot more stress-free, look up prices per item through the internet. There are numerous websites that host price comparison for construction materials. Lastly, include in this task the costing for labor if you want the remodeling job professionally done. Note that if you are doing major renovations, it is imperative that you hire an electrician, plumber or contractor. You can save on labor payment per handyman per hour when you get a contractor who will oversee everything from buying the materials to daily construction work. Securing building permits – this task is applicable with these circumstances: demolishing load-bearing walls, altering roofline and house footprint, installing new windows, door and sink, re-wiring electrical circuits and plumbing new pipework. Check with your local area about further building regulations.

  On the other hand, there are simpler things you can embark on in making your garage livable and more comfortable. Note that such minimal revisions could only take place if your garage is relatively in good shape. There has to be existing ample ventilation and insulation. Achieve a new look in your garage by simple organizing your stuff in it. If this space used to be a mere messy storage area, put tall cabinets and stand-alone dividers to segregate the areas for the vehicle and your office or workshop. Place a garden table-and-chair set inside the garage and adorn the chairs with plush pillows. Designate a nook for reading and put in few small shelves for magazines, pocketbooks or even photo albums. Add pots of indoor plants to have a fresher feeling. If the space permits, a hammock placed on one side would instantly create the inviting and relaxing appearance.

  Possible options for massive renovations include installing a new thin wall to entirely separate the parking area and the living space, a patio door, large windows to let more natural lighting seep through and a kitchenette. If you consider constructing a detached garage, the aesthetic value of your property is increased as well. With this type of outhouse, the parking space and living area can be wholly separated by having a two-level building. The upper level can have enough room for sofa-bed, office desk, some chairs and other furniture pieces.

  At the end of this endeavor, you can see how well you can organize your other belongings while giving your car further protection. Plus, remodeling your garage is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to have additional living space. Having a new modern and improved garage would prove to be a really fruitful experience.

  Useful Tips When Choosing Garage Plans with Living Space

  A garage is one of the most important parts of a house. If a house doesn’t have one, it is quite common for most homeowners to have a garage built. For most homeowners, a garage doesn’t just necessarily mean an area to keep the cars; it can also serve other purpose like a workshop or a gym.

  In my neighborhood, I would imagine that more than half of the homeowners never even open their garage doors. If I was to stand in front of my house and look as far down the street as possible, in either direction, I couldn’t find one home that uses their garage to park their cars in.

  Outdoor Living Spaces

  outdoor living spaces are becoming quite popular. Making your garden, yard or patio feel like an extension of your home is one of the best ways to create more useable space without building an addition. You can start by continuing your indoor color scheme out to the patio or the garden. It is important if an interior space opens directly onto the outdoor living space. French doors or sliding glass doors open can increase the amount of square footage.

  Home Inspections – Indispensable Key to Successful Real Estate Deals

  Due to the unfortunately redundant reports of fraudulent real estate transactions, a noticeably large population of home buyers has lost faith in purchasing properties. As a result of the scarcity of buyers, most home sellers have been enforced to settle on purchase offers way below than what they have expected. A way to put back the healthy status of the buying and selling real estate markets, a simple home inspection would do the trick.

  Begin your enterprise by cleaning out your own attic, closets and basement or garage. Talk with your relatives and friends; tell them what you’re doing, and ask for donations (or at least consignments) of unwanted items. It’s here that you’ll get your first experience in negotiating, and you’ll usually get enthusiastic cooperation. You’ll find people explaining that they really don’t have a use for a specific item, don’t want to keep on storing it, but for sentimental or other reasons, they have just hung on to it.

  
  Once you have a little bit of experience, you’ll be able to advertise in the newspaper that you purchase garage sale items, or take them on consignment for a percentage of the final sale price.

  
  Its best that the wife or woman of the house handles the garage sale itself – that is, let a woman be the one who greets the potential customers, shows them around, and generally engages them in conversation. If it’s a woman staging the garage sale, then arrangements should be made for a second one to ‘mind the store’ while she’s out digging up more items for display and sale, If you are running a really big sale, a second or third per son can be very useful in selling, and just generally keeping an eye on things.

  
  The advertising angle is really quite simple, and shouldn’t cost you very much, either. Check area newspapers, and select the one that carries the most ads for garage sales. You shouldn’t concern yourself too much with competition from other ads. People who go to garage sales either go to all of them they can locate, or else only to those within a 3-to-5 mile radius of their homes.

  
  You should run a small classified ad in the newspaper of your choice for about three days in advance, and up through the day of your sale. Once you’re operating on a full-time, every-day-of-the-week schedule, you’ll want to change your ad schedule and the style of your advertising. But in getting started, stay with small classified ads simply announcing the fact that you’re holding a garage sale, emphasizing that you’ve got everything from A to Z – something of interest to everyone. Such an ad might read:

  
  Big Garage Sale! Hundreds of interesting items.
  
  Through Saturday, July 16th. (address)

  
  To get ideas on how to write your ad, check your newspapers for a week or two. Cut out all the garage sale ads you can find. Paste them up onto a piece of paper – then with a bit of critical analysis, you will be able to write a good ad of your own from identifying the good and bad features of the ads you’ve collected. Keep in mind that the bigger and better your sale, the bigger and better you’re ‘getting started’ ads should be. Always remember that in order to increase your profits in any business, you must increase rather than decrease your advertising. At the bottom line, you’ll find that the greatest single reason for a garage sale failing to turn a profit is the lack of promotion and advertising used to publicize it.

  
  You should also have an old-fashioned “sandwich board” type sign to display in front of your house when your garage sale is open for business. The purpose of course, is to call attention to the fact that you’re holding a garage sale and are open for business. This will pull in your neighbours, if you haven’t already informed them, and attract people driving by. Sandwich boards are also sometimes set out at key traffic intersections not far from the site of the garage sale. These will attract attention, and point the way. However, check your local ordinances to be sure that this sort of advertising is permitted.

  
  Another ‘sign idea’ practiced by a few really sharp operators, is the old ‘Burma Shave’ type roadside pointers. Here, you simply make up a few cute sayings (verse or one-liners), write them on pieces of cardboard, tack them onto the power poles at about 200 yard intervals on the thoroughfare leading to your garage sale, and you’re sure to create a lot of traffic for yourself. People are amused by, and drawn to people who do something a little different, unusual and creative in promoting a sale of any kind.
