The Home's Primary Entertainment Center
                     The Living Room

10 Overlooked and Costly Home Maintenance Concerns continued from front page...

The two places at home where Americans spend leisure time — the living room and the family room — haven’t really changed over the years. Nearly two-thirds (65%) adults call the living room their primary place for home entertainment, with an additional 19% spending most of their leisure hours in the family room. 
But what people do for entertainment in
these rooms indicates some change from last year. Directionally, there is a small shift from the living room to the family room and bedrooms as the primary place to watch TV, videotapes and DVDs. There is a slight increase in bedroom music listening, and the den/home office remains the place where the Internet is most often accessed. Reading tends to be evenly split between the living room and bedrooms. 

8. Foundations/Basement Areas that show indications of water/moisture problems should be tended to immediately. Ditto cracked walls in the basement. To ignore the problem will ultimately mean increasing the cost of the repair. 
9.
Security Systems
– alone do not provide all the safety a household needs. Other safetywise ideas: proper locks on windows and doors, dead bolts, carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in every bedroom. 
10.
Knowledge is Money
– invest in a professional certified home inspector if you’re unsure of any of these issues.
