The leaves will soon be falling in Cleveland which can be a problem for your gutters potentially leading to ice dams on your roof, water in your basement or a variety of other issues.

I live in a 2200 square foot house and just got my power and gas bill; power was $68 and gas $55.Several years ago we had a bad ice storm here; knocked out power on us for 5 days (worse for others out in the country). 

A few years ago we had a major snow and ice storm that knocked power out to like 40,000 people.

For me, that means no carpet, semi gloss white, cream or light gray wall paint.A renter needed...it will take 2 years of rental income on your tax return for many lenders to consider it as income.HELOC is variable while 2nd mortgage is more often fixed.

Because of the ice storms in Texas and North Carolina and across the country in several states, we're gonna see a restriction with workers being able to complete houses and product and get it to the market.So what that means is that you're gonna see massive restrictions on supplies and inventories.
