the market, beautiful curb appeal will make a good first impression on buyers
and may even help increase the value of your home. But, even if you aren't
looking to sell, curb appeal will create a warm, inviting environment and make
your house stand out from all the others on the block.</span></div>

garden beds are an eyesore. Simply mowing the lawn, trimming the bushes and
hedges, and adding fresh mulch can make a huge difference. Weed the garden beds
and plant new flowers if needed. You can also add some hanging plants on your
front porch to really make your exterior beautiful and inviting.</span></div>

and function. Your light fixtures should complement the style and design of
your home, as well as effectively light up the entranceway for enhanced safety.
Choosing light fixtures with the same mounting system as the existing ones can
save you some time and money.</span></div>

enhance its curb appeal. Applying a fresh coat of paint to the trim, shutters
and front door will really brighten up your house. Stick to colors that make
your home stand out but match or complement the other colors on your house.</span></div>

reasons to <a href="http://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/Mailboxes-s/1819.htm"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">consider

</span></span></span><b><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The
look.</span></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> Without a doubt the biggest reason to use decorative mailboxes is simply
to create the perfect look. Decorative mailboxes range from traditional to
modern styles, built of the highest quality materials and always made to stand
out. They come in a wide variety of metal finishes with decorative elements
including the address numbers/name letters, the posts, the boxes themselves and
the fine details. Decorative mailboxes are available for single residences,
duplexes, and apartments or office buildings with dozens of slots. The point
with all of these choices is to give a mailbox that does more than just hold
the mail—it adds to the overall look of a high class operation and adds to curb
appeal. The mailbox is one of the first things you see as you approach, and
investing in a nice one is worthwhile. </span></div>

decorative mailbox can solve both these problems. Decorative mailboxes always
stand out and can make a home easier to find or a business more noticeable.
Many feature large, tasteful address numbers or separate, matching address
plaques that can be mounted on the door or wall. People will definitely spot
you. </span></div>

match the surroundings.</span></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> What do you do if your business is in a historic
neighborhood? What if your home used to have a beautiful vintage mailbox,
that’s no longer usable? What if you simply want to match your mailbox to a
classic aesthetic or to area streetlamps and benches? While not all decorative
mailboxes are in antique styles, many are and they allow you to put a brand
new, secure mailbox in an area that features historic elements. You will match your
surroundings and uphold the image you want while still getting a great modern
mailbox. </span></div>

</span></span></span><b><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Quality.</span></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> Decorative
mailboxes are generally high end mailboxes made to last. The locks and doors
are secure, the entire mailbox is welded to be water-resistant, and the finish
will outlast the cheap paintjobs of big box store mailboxes. A high quality
mailbox will last longer without the problems of fading, rust, leaking or water
damage that lower quality mailboxes will experience. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Mailbox refurbishment is a growing industry in Orlando, where mailboxes are
exposed to heat, humidity and heavy rain. Yet many home- and business-owners
aren’t sure if they really need to have their mailbox professionally
refurbished. Here are five reasons you probably do:</span></div>

property looking attractive</b>. The biggest reason people seek out a mailbox
refurbishment professional is to keep the premises looking great. Repairing a
damaged mailbox takes time, skill and the right tools and is not easy for an
amateur. The same is true for mailbox painting. But getting the mailbox looking
great (and working great) is a must if you want your property to look
attractive and well cared for. This is true whether you just want your own
mailbox to look good as you drive up to your home each day, or if you have a
large multi-unit mailbox in an apartment building or office structure.</span></div>

Residential mailboxes serve multiple purposes. They not only hold mail, they
also serve as visible markers in front of a home or at the entrance to a
driveway. Often, they feature the property’s address number. If the paint is
old and worn off, mailboxes become less visible especially in the dark, in deep
snow or in inclement weather. Refurbishment can get your mailbox looking
bright, beautiful and easy to spot once again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Mailboxes need to protect the mail inside them, and in most areas the
biggest threat is the elements. Loose seams in a metal mailbox, old or warped
wood on a wooden one, or even a faulty door or rust spots can all be places
where moisture leaks in, damaging or destroying your mail. Refurbishment solves
all of these problems and makes sure your mailbox can keep your mail safe. </span></div>

These days, there are <a href="http://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/Signs-s/1818.htm">more Florida sign

<b><i>1. Sign making specialty</i></b> – There are lots
of businesses out there that say they can make signs, but that doesn't mean
they have the experience or equipment to make them right. When you need signs
for a community or any purpose, talk to an actual sign company. They will have
a better understanding of what you need, have more options for you, and are
likely to turn out a better looking product. They will also have the experience
to advise you on how to make your sign the best it can possibly be, warning you
if something in your design will not be visible or easy to read. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>2. Durable, quality materials</i></b> – Signs face many
sources of wear and tear. Most signs will be outside and exposed to the
elements including rain, sunlight, wind, and temperature extremes. Indoor signs
may be bumped into or may need to be handled and moved by staff. But no matter
where your sign is, you'll want it to last a long time and look just as sharp
years from now as it does today. Your sign company should be able to present
you with a wide range of high-quality material options, from banners to wooden
signs to steel and much more. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>3. Customization</i></b> – If all you
wanted to do was print your logo onto a plain prefabricated sign, you wouldn't
need to see a specialist. These days, more communities want custom shapes and
designs for their signs or are interested in three dimensional signs or
lettering. Your sign company should be able to have custom signs created in
almost any form you can imagine. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>4. Computer Assisted Design</i></b> – Good sign
companies use CAD programs to ensure total accuracy and reduce costs, and can
show you a three dimensional mockup of your sign before it is created.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>5. Installation available</i></b> – Some signs just
need to be bolted in place; others are much more complex than that. Your sign
maker should be able to offer full, on-site installation if you need it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>6. Bulk/package rates</i></b> – Do you need signs
for multiple locations? Or one big sign and several smaller ones? Ask for a
bulk rate or a package discount when buying multiple signs.<o:p></o:p></div>

little kids till the end of our lives.
Many of us take their existence for granted and we most likely
understand what most of them mean by the time we are driving or within a few
years. There was a point in time though
when traffic signs weren't very common or even nonexistent. This led to a lot of accidents and avoidable
deaths. Even with traffic signs today
though, people still miss them and have accidents; so is there a way to make
our signs pop out more to drivers?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

mostly for cyclists and horse drawn carriages, but there was no uniformity to
them. After cars began to grow more
common across the U.S. from 1900-1920, drivers clubs began making signs and
maintaining them to help make roads safer for themselves and other driver
enthusiasts. This worked in the
beginning, but as cars continued to grow in popularity a need to matching
uniform signs became necessary. Thus in
1922 representatives from Minnesota, Indiana and Wisconsin came together to
decide upon unique shapes which equated to specific messages. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

meaning of a sign when approaching it without being able to read it. These signs all had black text on a white
background. These signs would be
presented and adopted as the earliest national standardization in 1935. This meant </span><a href="http://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/Signs-s/1818.htm"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Orlando decorative street signs and other non-conforming signs</span></a><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> needed to be updated. In
1948 after some years of confusion, the government made some changes to help
with standardization. Interesting fact,
stop signs only became red with white lettering after the invention of fade
resistant materials in 1954. Other
changes eventually led to the signs we have now for warning people about danger
by having the background yellow with black text. Speed limit signs still resemble their
original progenitors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to plague our roads today; are drivers not noticing them. A recent study done by scientists sat a group
of participants in front of two different sets of signs. Each set had four signs with the same
meanings, but the second set had signs with more dynamic images. The participants said the more dynamic signs
were more eye-catching and increased their awareness of their surroundings. While this was one test and this was the
first time seeing these signs, previous research shows more dynamic signs are
more likely to catch and hold a driver's attention.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Mailboxes have had an interesting history. It wasn't until the early 20<sup>th</sup>
century that mailboxes even existed in the United States. Before that point mail carriers waited at
your door until you answered it or came back the next day. Then the post office realized time and money
could be saved by mandating people have mail boxes or mail slots. What they forgot to do was mandate what the
mailbox could be, so of course you had people making mailboxes out of kinds of
materials and quite a few shapes.
Eventually the Post Office announced standards for mailboxes that had to
be followed in order to make life for mail carriers easier. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; tab-stops: 221.25pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

over time. As technology improved for
metals and paints that were more weather resistant they have been eventually
implemented into mailboxes. One of the
biggest breakthroughs was the development of plastic mailboxes, but there is a
downside with them. They are more easily
broken by people whether it's intentional or unintentional and plastic doesn't
always handle the cold and heat as well.

Aluminum has proven to be
light and durable especially with the powder finishes used on mailboxes. Because of the toxic chemicals in a lot of
paints and the issue of them running powder finishes are preferable. Their application method is environmentally
friendly and the powder doesn't chip or flake off from the weather like paint
does. It also provides mailboxes with a
large assortment of finishes ranging from satin, high-gloss, matte and a number
of colors. This has reduced the
maintenance required for mailboxes and improved their durability.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

other materials. These different designs
involve building the post out of stone or brick, both of which are very durable
and long lasting. The biggest thing
people focus on when selecting their mailbox and its post today is whether it
fits with their house and overall landscape theme. The one downside of having your mailbox built
out of brick or stone is the cost. A lot
of people have been more creative as well and made their mailbox post into a
light post as well. This lets you
accomplish two things at once with one post and a light on your mailbox can be
a good way to deter people from tampering with it at night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

You don't want your property to look rundown
because it can damage both your property value and those surrounding
yours. It also reflects poorly upon you
and it raises the question of why purchase a house if you're just going to let
it degrade. One place where you'll
always see homes being well taken care of and properly managed is by
communities with homeowner associations.
They generally charge a regular fee to pay for the upkeep of all the
homes in the community on a yearly basis to ensure outside appearances don't
become an issue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

things that need attention paid to. The
first thing people often encounter when approaching your house is your
mailbox. Your mailbox is usually pounded
by the elements, exposed to accidents and can be targeted by vandalism. Hiring a </span><a href="https://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/Mailbox-Refurbishment-s/1950.htm"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">skilled and expert mailbox repair service is the easiest and best
way</span></a><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> to restore this blemish on your property and

about is their gutters. This is a
particularly big problem for those whose houses' are surrounded by trees because
the leaves, seeds and twigs often fall into the gutters and can clog them
up. Having a roofing/gutter company
scheduled to come clean your gutters on a yearly basis is ideal. The last thing you need is small trees
growing out of your gutters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

front is by installing tasteful and effective lighting. Many homeowners leave the front of their
property looking dark and rather creepy at night. Believe it or not, potential buyers are
strongly recommended to look at a house both during the day and at night in
order to have a good feeling for it.
Having attractive lamp posts is also vastly superior in appearance to
the typical flood lights that people install in the ground and have shining on
trees or the house. Remember when it
comes to upkeep it's easier to take care of each task as it happens instead of
waiting for it to pile up and appear overwhelming to begin. Procrastination is the enemy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

warm weather will have definitely arrived by then and it will be Lawn &
Garden month. While people are always
focusing on their flowers and flower beds there is a part of many people's
landscapes that unfortunately goes overlooked or which people get stumped
by. This common item which exists on
many people's properties is the good old mailbox. Many people sadly don't do anything with
their mailbox and let it stick out like a sore thumb which takes away from the
rest of their landscaping efforts. The
reality is there are numerous ways to make your mailbox far more attractive
than it is and make it work with the rest of your property so that it isn't an
eye-sore.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

make it more attractive. First one you
can do is turn the surrounding area into a flower bed. Then plant a flower in front of it which when
fully grown will be almost up to the bottom of the container. On the back plant an attractive climber which
can cover the post from the rear. Now instead
of having an unattractive mailbox sitting alone it is surrounded with flowers
and looks far better. You can also </span><a href="http://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/Mailboxes-s/1819.htm"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">install a decorative mailbox that goes with the flowers or your

painting it different colors. The best
way to do this is find flowers with colors that will complement your mailbox's
colors. These flowers don't even need to
cover the post, the aim with this approach is to create a color design that is
appealing to the eye and not make the mailbox feel alone and out of place. If you're looking for an older more rustic
style you can search for a wooden mailbox.
A wooden mailbox can be allowed to age and then have vines growing up
its post which will give the feeling of being slowly reclaimed by nature. Just make sure you're mail stays protected.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

traditional post.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Plenty of people have
found success by having the pillars at the end of their driveway which match
the house's architecture work as locations for their mailboxes.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">They can be embedded in the pillars or hang
off the front of it.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">This removes the
need of the mailbox being its own entity and it blends right in with your
existing landscape.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">There are many more
variations for implementing your mailbox into your landscape, so share pictures

such thing as a mailbox. Before the 19<sup>th</sup>
century and really the 20<sup>th</sup> century, mail carriers delivered mail
directly to the recipient. So if they
were delivering a letter to a person's house they would knock on the front door
and wait until someone answered to hand the letters. A study was done and it showed that the average
mail carrier lost around 90 minutes a day because of this. Therefore in 1923 the Post Office Department
mandated that all households must have a letter slot or mailbox to receive
mail. While this worked there was no
regulation on mailbox shapes. As America
suburbanized more curbside mailboxes popped up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

cluster boxes. The cluster boxes were
built to service entire neighborhoods and buildings. It was determined that the cluster box would
not only save time, but also money. The
mail carrier would no longer need to stop each time to drop off one person's
mail. Since then the cluster box unit
has seen multiple evolutions and has <a href="http://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1843" target="_blank">become the curbside locking mailbox that you commonly see</a>. As improvements happen every so often new specifications for their production occur. The newest specifications
released in 2005 required manufacturers to have a license in order to make
them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

winter weather melts away to spring there will be maintenance and upkeep work
all over the community. Roads and
driveways will need to have those pot holes filled, and any other damage from
the cold elements will need attention. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

properties up for spring, now may be a good time to replace elements of the community
that have grown old and seen better days.
One object which can often be overlooked, but is important, is mailboxes. They bear the brunt of the weather year round
and eventually time takes its toll on them.
Ordering new mailboxes may seem boring, or unimaginative, but there is
actually a surprising amount of variety out there. These days you can choose the style of each
part of the mail box and the material it is made from; for example you can have

more attention by a lot of home owner communities is the gutters and shingles
of the houses. The freezing and melting
process, especially if there has been a lot of snow, often causes damage. Broken gutters can cause water to pool in
unwanted locations which leads to water damage.
Shingles that have broken down can also lead to moisture accumulating in
the roof or lead to leaks. Letting any
of these issues fester will only lead to exponential repair costs down the
road. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

damage to residents’ belongings.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Many are saying 2015 is going to be
quite the big year, especially in the housing market. There are a lot of expected new first time
home buyers coming to the market. Perhaps
you’re one of them, or perhaps you’re finally moving into that house you’ve
been gazing at longingly for a while.
Well, the market appears to be in an excellent position this year for
buyers! There’s so much to think about,
now that you’re moving into your house.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">One of the greatest parts of
home ownership is the freedom to decorate and landscape your property in the
manner you so desire. There’s a lot you
can do, so let’s start with some of the basic necessities. You’re probably going to need a mailbox, and
you may be wondering what kind. Well </span><a href="http://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/Mailboxes-s/1819.htm"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">picking out a decorative mailbox can actually
be more</span></a><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> engaging and thought-provoking than
you realize. There are a lot of designs
out there, and lot of ways to truly customize it to fit with your property and
give it a style that is unique. Buying a
proper mailbox is important for several reasons; it’s made of better material
and therefore endures weather better, it’ll be stronger and more secure which
means your mail will be safe and you can make it fit your property’s appearance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The next thing you need to consider is
how you’re doing the front yard and backyard.
Do you want a seasonal landscape, an evergreen landscape or just grass
with a simple pathway to your front door?
A seasonal setup lets you plant flowers for each season and lets you
really show off your green thumb skills, but it can be time consuming. If that’s not the niche for you then going
with some evergreen shrubbery may be the answer. The most you’ll need to do is some trimming
to keep them maintained, healthy and good looking. Or perhaps you’d rather just have grass for
the kids to run around on. Be sure to
consider your time, and what will look good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of questions. If the house already has a
patio and some design going on then perhaps there isn’t too much to think
about. However, if your house doesn’t
you may want to consider creating a place in the back where you can sit and
enjoy the nice weather. If you do build
a patio, do you want it to be open or covered?
Do you want it to be useable during cold weather? Hopefully you’ve already been thinking, and
if not hopefully reading this has helped stimulate your thinking! Either way, be sure to enjoy your new home
and make sure you explore all the fun aspects of being a homeowner!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1; tab-stops: 159.75pt;">
More and more <a href="https://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1948">people are
choosing custom mailboxes in Tampa, FL</a>. Custom mailboxes have many advantages over
off-the-shelf varieties, both in terms of design and quality. But many home and
business owners still haven't heard of custom mailboxes and don't see the
difference. What draws people to custom mailboxes? Here are three huge
benefits:<br />

<ul>
<li><b style="font-weight: bold;"><i>Appearance</i></b><b> – </b>By far the biggest reason people seek out custom
mailboxes in Tampa (or anywhere else, for that matter) is for style. Your
mailbox is generally very visible outside of your house, condo or apartment
building. It is as much a part of your property's first impression as the
landscaping, the front façade or the décor inside. Accordingly, many people
prefer not to be stuck with the cookie cutter stock mailboxes that are found at
big box stores. Instead, they want something that will match a particular home
style, color scheme or look. And custom mailboxes provide those options, often
at surprisingly low prices. An attractive mailbox can make a big difference in
how the outside of a property looks.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1; tab-stops: 159.75pt;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b><i>Security</i></b> – A second reason
that many people seek out custom mailboxes is security. The truth is that most
stock mailboxes just aren't that secure. If they have security options at all,
they are often of low quality, or can be easily broken into. Our custom
mailboxes are created with enough space to fit a locking insert inside and
built of quality materials that are properly joined and, thus, hard to break. Many
businesses, apartment managers, and homeowner associations prefer mailboxes
that are designed with these security features in mind. Some individual
homeowners feel the same way. You will often send or receive sensitive personal
documents in the mail, so it is very important that your mailbox is secured
against identity thieves. A concern for security overlaps with a wish for
style: many so-called "security" mailboxes that come off the shelf
may be secure, but they're certainly not stylish. Custom mailboxes can give you
the best of both worlds.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1; tab-stops: 159.75pt;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b><i>Durability</i></b> – Finally, custom
mailboxes of quality construction can deliver far more in terms of durability.
Durability may not always be something you think of when shopping for a mailbox,
but it makes a big difference. If you want to spend the least time and money on
maintenance or repairs over the years, a custom mailbox is your best bet. This
is especially true in Tampa, where the wet climate can wreak havoc on a low-quality
mailbox.</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1; tab-stops: 159.75pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">For many people a house is much
more than just a place to sleep at night, it’s a sanctuary from the troubles of
the world. Unfortunately, even the best made homes can undergo damage and abuse
while standing against the harsh elements. While the option is always available
to hire someone who can fix these problems, relying on a repairman can be
expensive and time consuming. Instead, consider whether or not it is in your
power to improve the situation yourself. Feel the empowering pride of sprucing
up your own home by handling these common issues with your own two hands:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Powerful
weather conditions, traffic accidents, and other misfortunate events will find
their way to your doorstep from time to time. Though they may go unnoticed at
first, repeated abuse can lead to cracks and damages on your sidewalk. If you
notice uneven or shattered pavement, don’t fret. Cement replacement slabs can
be purchased for severe cases, but crack filler and sealer can be found to tidy
up smaller disturbances.</span></div>

vandalism. If you’ve noticed that your mailbox has been damaged or completely
destroyed, a replacement can be purchased for a reasonable fee. In fact, this
may be the perfect opportunity to invest in a mailbox that would better match
the appeal of your home. Don’t feel obligated to get an identical copy of your
previous box, have some fun and add a little flare to your front yard.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Your
windows serve many more purposes than offering you the ability to see outside.
They also let in sunlight and work to make your house feel more like a home.
While they tend to be one of the most fragile parts of a building, that doesn’t
mean a broken window is an irreversible fate. Many hardware stores sell
replacement windowpanes for standard size windows, and also offer services to
help you install them if you aren’t sure how. You may even find a new design or
style that looks better with your home décor!</span></div>

the color or shade of your home, don’t begrudgingly accept it. It is within
your power to make your house look and feel the way you want it to. With a bit
of paint, a ladder, and patience, you could be living in your dream home within
a week! </span></div>

Halloween is coming fast! If you haven't already put
something up, you may be looking for simple ways to show your enthusiasm and
indicate to trick or treaters that you offer candy. One of the simplest ways of
doing this is to decorate your mailbox. Here are some easy decorations that
will get you into the spooky mood and let everyone know you are taking part:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>1. Battery operated string lights</i></b> – This is one of the easiest,
cheapest ways to show your Halloween colors and, on Halloween night, these
lights will act as a beacon for the kids. Battery operated <a href="http://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1843">lights are
especially ideal for residential curbside mailboxes</a> because you don't need to
run an extension cord all the way out to the street. Get plain orange lights,
purple lights, or orange and black mixes, or look for themed shapes like bats
or ghosts. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>2. Big Halloween bows</i></b> – Making a simple decorative bow to festoon
your mailbox with is easy! Just head to your local craft store and grab some
seasonally-themed ribbon (anything with skeletons or jack-o-lanterns will do)
and a bit of floral wire, watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqqiTs9ALZE">this video</a> or one
similar, and you're set! You can accentuate the bow with some fake flowers
sprinkled with fake blood. Better yet, pull off the flower tops and glue in
fake eyeballs!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>3. Menacing Figures</i></b> – One great way to use your box is to prop a
life-sized witch, ghost, or scarecrow up on the mail pole. You can find these
at any local Halloween store or, for a more cost-effective option, make your
own! For a scarecrow, grab some old jeans and a flannel, some string to tie the
openings, and a bunch of plastic bags to use as stuffing. Add a scary,
stuffable Halloween mask for the head. Tie your figure to the pole to ensure
that they stand up. For some extra skin-crawl factor, get some fake chain and
make it look like you're trying to keep them from escaping to wreak havoc on
the neighborhood. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>4. Spider webs</i></b> – Nothing says creepy like spiders! Cover your mailbox
with fake spider webs and have some little spiders dangling beneath it and all
around. If you want to add some variety, trap a couple of eyeballs or severed
fingers in the web with the spider babies. Get one larger mama spider and place
it directly on top of the box in a predatory position. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>5. Body Parts</i></b> – One way to make this one eerier is to go a bit
more subtle with it. Find a garland of fake leaves at your local crafts store
and wrap it around the top of your box and down the pole. Next find a bloody
severed arm or moss-covered skeleton hand at your Halloween store and have it
creeping out from beneath the leaves. Aim it towards your visitors! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Don't forget to leave your address number visible for the
postman when decorating your mail box. Aside from that, go wild! You can always
check out Pinterest and various craft sites for more inspiration. <o:p></o:p></div>

The exterior of your home makes a daily and lasting
impression on neighbors, friends, and family. It's the first thing people see,
so maintaining its appearance is important. Since the fall season brings cooler
temperatures, making outdoor work more pleasant, what better time to update
your home's exterior than now? And all it takes is a few small projects to
effect a big change on your outdoor space. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Below are four simple ways to touch up on the outside of
your home this fall. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
A quick touch up on paint can do wonders for the exterior of
your home. Take a careful look at your house and the outside elements like your
garage and work on selected spots. A fresh coat of paint can improve your home
immensely, without the cost of a serious remodel. It may even be time for a
completely different color to really give your home new life. Whichever you
decide to do, a new coat of paint can be aesthetically transformative. Early
fall is an especially smart time to paint, since you'll be less likely to get
heat stroke and it'll brighten your home during the darker fall and winter
months.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>2. Do some
landscaping<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
As we all know, fall means a lot of leaves. Although
clearing your lawn of leaves, twigs, and other debris is tedious work, it not
only makes your lawn look nice but also keeps it healthy. And despite the
approaching winter season, you should continue to improve the health of your
grass. Remove any weeds and feed your grass with nutrients. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b>3. Check up on your
mailbox <o:p></o:p></b></div>

Because the winter weather can be rough, autumn is a good
time to make sure your mailbox is in good shape and can withstand whatever the
colder temperatures may bring. Check to see if any hinges on the door need to
be tightened or replaced, ensure that the mailbox is correctly mounted and not
loose, and replace or add house numbers if need be. It may be time for a
completely new mailbox. We carry <a href="http://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/Mailboxes-s/1819.htm">a large selection
of decorative mailboxes</a> for you to choose from, which can be personalized
to meet your specific requirements. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
As the colder months approach, the sun will set sooner and
the nights will be longer. Make sure your outdoor lighting works properly and
be sure to replace any dim or broken bulbs. Also, since the wet winter weather
has the potential to cause problems in lighting systems, fixtures may not be
avoidable. If you want to add some charm to your home, consider installing
garden lights along your pathway or front door.<o:p></o:p></div>

Becoming a victim of burglary is one of the most common anxieties people
have, and for good reason. According to the F.B.I., there were <a href="http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/crime-in-the-u.s.-2010/property-crime/burglarymain">2.1 million
burglaries reported</a> in the United States in 2010, which accounted for
23.8 percent of all property crimes in 2010. These victims lost an estimated
$4.6 billion in property, amounting to an average of $2,119 lost for each
offense. <o:p></o:p></div>

People want to be able to protect their family and property at all costs,
and burglary is one crime that can be avoided if you take the right steps to
prevent it. Sometimes installing a nice home security system can give you peace
of mind, but there are other things you can do to avoid being targeted by
robbers. Keep your home and personal information safe by following these tips.<o:p></o:p></div>

Once most people are done with things, they will throw them in a garbage
can without giving it another thought. That line of thinking could easily make
you the target of a robber. If you recently got a flat screen TV, computer, or other
expensive electronic, don't throw the box it came in on the curb as soon as you
unpack it. Boxes for expensive items are basically advertisements for thieves,
so wait until garbage day to put it out. Also, be sure to not throw out any
mail or paper that has personal information on it; always shred these
documents. While we're on the topic of throwing out papers, we should mention…<o:p></o:p></div>

In a world where people do a lot of their shopping online, most people
are concerned about having their identities stolen by a cyber-criminal. Online
identity theft is still an important problem, but your mail is still a popular
way for identity thieves to get their hands on your personal information. Installing

Burglars will usually strike when they're sure that their targeted house
is empty, so you should do whatever you can to make it difficult for them to
see if your home still has people in it. Invest in a lamp or a TV with a timer
that can turn the device on at a certain time to make it seem like somebody is
using it. Don't leave your curtains and blinds open wide enough so that people
can see inside easily. Also, turn down your telephone ringer so that they can't
tell that the phone is going unanswered. <o:p></o:p></div>

If you're a homeowner in Tampa, you could be sitting on thousands of
dollars that are waiting to be spent. People love living in The Sunshine State,
and if you're in a city like Tampa, <a href="http://www.tampabay.org/about-us/news-media/partnership-blog/2014-01-28/tampa-bay-ranks-no-2-most-popular-moving-destination">you have some much-desired
property. </a>You may be comfortable living in your current home, and may not see
yourself moving for quite some time, but as the years pass and your life and
family change, you may be willing to go to someplace new. Don't worry about
scrambling to fix your home when you decide you want to sell it; instead, you
should add some curb appeal to your home to make it attractive to potential
buyers. If you do these small things to the outside of your home, you could
make it one of the most coveted on the block.<o:p></o:p></div>

Your lawn, siding, and window shutters are all an important part of your
home's overall outdoor look, but your door can actually draw more attention
than all of them combined. Your door acts as both a barrier and a passageway to
your home, and making your door stand out can be a simple way to improve
people's first impression. Adding a simple new coat of paint, or cleaning and
varnishing your old door can make a huge difference when you are trying to
sell. <o:p></o:p></div>

If you want your home to stand out from the others on your block, a few
outdoor décor elements can help. Lawn ornaments can also help improve the look
of your home, as long as you get the right kind. When some people think about
lawn ornaments, they imagine gnomes and plastic flamingos, but you don't have
to decorate your lawn with clichés. A few stones to make an alternate path to
your door, or some small stone sculptures can add some class to your yard and
create a relaxing, garden-like atmosphere that buyers will covet. <o:p></o:p></div>

Whether you're seeking mailbox refurbishment in Tampa Bay after a
storm, or simply looking to spruce up the family front lawn, installing a post
mounted mailbox on your own can offer plenty of difficulty. Often, the job
requires some concrete work and the use of specific tools that aren't always

Keep in mind that your mailbox should have the following specs if you
want to ensure the best setup possible: a body made of cast aluminum with

your specific house number and address, and locking door options to keep your
mail safely intact. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Step 2- Securing your post:</b><b> </b>After you place the post in the hole, be
sure to level it and attach two support beams at the center to keep the post
standing up straight; place one at the side of the post, and then add another
to the back for proper support. This will ensure that the post does not move
while you are pouring the concrete. Additionally, this will help keep
everything level while the concrete is drying.<b><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Step 3- Adding concrete for support:</b>
Pour dry concrete straight into the hole leaving 3 to 4 inches of space from
the top open. Typically, a 50-pound bag of quick-dry concrete should do the
trick here just fine. Next, you will have to saturate the concrete, and experts
recommend using about a gallon of water per 50-pound bag used. Remember to
leave your support beams in place for 4 to 6 hours or until you are certain the
concrete is dry.<o:p></o:p></div>

When it comes to the refurbishing of existing mailboxes,
typically, expert assistance is recommended. If there is a pre-existing cement
base on your property, you are going to have to fully remove it prior to
preparing your new post set up. Typically, homeowners don't have the necessary
equipment (such as a jackhammer) to properly remove excess concrete, damaged
posts, dinged up boxes, etc. It is also extremely important to install a
temporary box in place of the one being refurbished, so that your mail service
is not interrupted in any way.<o:p></o:p></div>

Have you ever
wondered how to set up a Homeowners' Association (HOA) in your neighborhood or
condominium building? With a HOA, the houses or condos in the community tend to
be more uniform and the properties are maintained at a high standard. Whether
it be custom mail boxes or custom street signs, neighborhoods run by an HOA are
visually appealing. Your home will likely have a higher property value as well.
With all these advantages, it's easy to see why you would want to start a HOA.
Here's how:<o:p></o:p><br />

<br /><span id="goog_2003712024"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<ol>
<li><b>Form a Group – </b>Look for people who are willing to commit to
the work that is required to run the association. Aim for 10 people or less,
and figure out where and when to hold your meetings. Devise a strategy during
your initial gatherings and set up your main goals before inviting residents to
the first official meeting.</li>
<li><b>Research Laws and Regulations – </b>There will be specific property codes within
your state that you need to abide by when setting up a HOA. Research your local
statutes online and think about hiring a lawyer or real estate expert who can
make sure the association stays in line with local regulations.</li>
<li><b>Establish CC&Rs – </b>These are covenants, conditions, and
restrictions of the homeowners' association. These rules will establish how
often meetings are held, how operations will be executed, and the voting
guidelines for electing leadership of the HOA. Research existing CC&Rs in
other communities as a rough guideline, and then tailor yours to your specific
requirements.</li>
<li><b>Establish HOA as a Business – </b>You will need to contact the IRS to obtain a
tax identification number. Then you need to form an LLC or a nonprofit
corporation. Open up a bank account to deposit the funds that will be paid to
the HOA.</li>
<li><b>Create Committees – </b>Set up a committee for internal matters and neighborhood
affairs. The internal affairs committee will be in charge of social events,
fundraising, and creating publicity. Neighborhood committees will be in charge
of law enforcement, maintenance, community services, and traffic safety.</li>
</ol>
Following these
steps will put you on your way in creating a valuable homeowners' association. People
will be more likely to join the HOA if your buildings and community are well-kept
and -ordered. <a href="https://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1931">Custom street signs, mail boxes, and other
small amenities</a> can all

This is the most common kind of mailbox, and it's what most people think
of when they hear the word "mailbox." A residential curbside mailbox
is the archetypal variety located at the end of the driveway where the mailman
can drive right up and drop off mail. Typically, <a href="http://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1843">residential
curbside mailboxes are attached to a vertical post</a> and have a
weatherproof box with a closing door on the front. The main advantage is that
these boxes have a "flag" that can let the mailman know there's mail
to pick up, making it easier to send, as well as receive, mail. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1; tab-stops: 159.75pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1; tab-stops: 159.75pt;">
A potential disadvantage of the residential curbside mailbox is that you
have to leave the house to get to it, which may not be pleasant in inclement
weather. However, this can also be a plus – after a heavy snowstorm, you do not
need to clear your driveway and walkway to receive mail, because the mailman
does not have to walk up to the door. This can also be good for dog owners who
don't want a barking fit every afternoon when the mailman comes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1; tab-stops: 159.75pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1; tab-stops: 159.75pt;">
Door slots are the older type of home mail receptacle and are more common
in Europe, as well as larger American cities where space is limited. In an
urban environment, it may be problematic to crowd the sidewalk with curbside
mailboxes, so a mail slot in the door makes a good alternative. The advantage
with these is that they take up no space and weather is not a factor. But to
send mail, you have to hang it outside the door and hope the mailman sees it –
not exactly ideal. Another disadvantage is that, depending on the design, a
mail slot could allow a stranger to peek into your home. They may also cause
drafts near the door. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-outline-level: 1; tab-stops: 159.75pt;">
Multi-unit buildings almost never have individual mail delivery to each
unit. Instead, a set of lockable mailboxes in the lobby allow a central mail
drop-off point for the whole building. The biggest advantage to this method is
security: your mail is put into a locked box and cannot be stolen. The biggest
disadvantage is that this is delivery-only and you have to go to the lobby to
get your mail.<o:p></o:p></div>

</b>You
probably don't think of your mailbox as anything more than a container on your
porch or front lawn used to hold new letters and documents -- after all, that
is its purpose. But adding a new mailbox is one of the cheapest and most
overlooked ways to boost the curb appeal of your home. Because they have to
withstand various weather conditions, over time, mailboxes become old and worn.
We have a <a href="https://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1948">wide
selection of mailboxes in Tampa Bay</a>, including some created with
weatherproof materials, to add more style to your home.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Do some gardening</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br />
</b>Breathe new life into your front yard by doing some gardening. Look around
the area for any weeds or dead plants and remove them. Add fresh mulch and either
buy flowers to plant or plant seeds and watch the flowers grow during the
season. Choose lively colors to help your garden stand out and be sure to water
the garden regularly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>4. Buy new
outdoor patio furniture</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br />
</b>Make
your front porch feel and look inviting, and make it a place to bask in the
warm weather by adding new patio furniture. Create a beautiful haven for
relaxation by simply adding a set of chairs with cushions and a small table. Be
sure to select patio furniture with colors that complement your home. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b>5. Keep
clutter away</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br />
</b>In
order to give your home exterior a clean and appealing look, avoid filling it
with clutter. This includes items like sporting equipment, gardening tools and
lawn ornaments. Instead, move these items into the garage, shed or side porch
when not in use. <o:p></o:p></div>

Everybody in the Tampa area knows how blessed they are to
live there. Simply visiting the area of Tampa, Florida will leave a lasting
imprint for years. There is plenty to do and much to see in Tampa, Florida. If
you live there, however, it is important to focus on maintaining the quality of
your home. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How can you improve your home’s outdoor appearance? It’s
easy. One of the simplest and most interesting ways you can improve your home
is to look into <a href="https://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1948">residential
mailboxes in Tampa</a>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When it comes to looking into residential mailboxes, you
have a plethora of choices that you can consider.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For one thing, your mailbox alone can be made out of
different materials. You could choose to use a classic style steel post mount mailbox
or even a Berkshire cast aluminum curbside mailbox.<br />
<br />
One of the best parts about
ordering a mailbox is that it is a very reasonable price for something which
will add incredible value to your home. Additionally, you can pick a color out
as well. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once you pick out the style and material of your mailbox,
the next step is to look into address plaques. Your choice in an address plaque
can add sophistication, style, and flair. They can also be customized and made
of a material of your choice, such as cast aluminum. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can also choose a specific mailbox post to go with your
mailbox. There are a number of styles to consider, such as an Ashland decorative
double mount mailbox post. You could even select a mailbox post with more
stylized features which can accentuate your home easily. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These are only three options out of many that you have to
choose from when it comes to decorating or updating your home. It all starts
with a mailbox, a mission, and a home. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
When you own a home, one of the most important parts is
maintaining its quality. After all, our homes are places of relaxation and
rest. Some people invest in siding or roofing, while others tend to consider
the benefits of <a href="http://www.mailboxesandsigns.com/Mailboxes-s/1819.htm">decorative
mailboxes</a>. However, there is no underestimating the power of a mailbox. A
mailbox isn’t simply a mailbox; <a href="http://www.thedurhamnews.com/2013/12/24/3480210/mailbox-man-says-skys-the-limit.html">just
ask Ted Maynor of Durham, North Carolina</a>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ted Maynor’s story is truly a remarkable one. As a disabled
survivor of both liver disease and cancer, he wasn’t interested in sitting
around at home watching television. Instead, Ted Maynor decided to pursue a
more worthwhile hobby: selling, installing and repairing mailboxes from his big
white business van. His van is unmistakable; on the top of the roof is a
selection of decorative mailboxes. On the side of his work van are the words
Mailbox Makeovers/Curb Appeal Transformation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
According to Maynor, who is 60 years old, there is a
tremendous market for the mailbox industry. Maynor supplies his customers with
interesting mailbox designs, such as U.S. flags, Carolina Panthers and UNC ram
logos, and more. Inside of the van are posts, decorative decals, letters, and
numbers. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maynor carries his tools with him wherever he goes, helping
to improve the community of Durham, North Carolina with their mailbox needs. He
has been very successful installing and decorating mailboxes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ted Maynor has assisted many citizens of Durham with their
mailbox needs. Over the years, he has held many different professions and even
graduated from the University of North Carolina with a degree in business
administration.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If adding a little bit of curb appeal to your home has
caught your interest, then there is nothing like a good decorative mailbox. Not
only will it improve your home, but it will improve the rest of your community
as well. </div>
