Despite all my years I still feel like a child inside. I have a difficult time peering into the mirror and seeing a fully realized mature man. I might have thought the delivery of my 2nd child would have altered it, but I still seem to be in self-denial of the aging process.

Speaking of aging — or instead fighting it off — my wife and I moved into a new house and it has enough room in its basement for a home gym my dear wfe has always sought. I’m seeing dollar signs when I think about all the large and tiny items required, from the necessary but oft-forgotten weight-lifting benches and exercise mat to selecting the best of the many stationary bicycles. An exercise bike can be difficult these days. Do you go with an upright or a recumbent stationary bike? Should you go with a digital or analog?

And then my dear wife appears determined to get one of those elliptical machines as well. Yes you read that right. A stationary bicycle and an elliptical machine — not one or the other. My estimate is that the extra exercise equipment will go with the stretch mark treatment she began using after the birth of youngest child. I’m sure I’ll regret that jest.

I have to be particular with our budget because our new home is more of a diamond in the rough. We wanted it to be this way, but we still must cautiously budget everything, even the cabinet knob (no kidding). My dear wife has an ambitious cabinet refacing design projected, but I have to remind her the sinks for the bathrooms she wants installed will cost a pretty penny, too.

Thankfully, she and I both enjoy the rustic, organic style, so we are furnishing our new home with furniture which is unfinished. It still needs a little finishing, but she and I can keep the costs down and create better furniture than we could find anywhere anyways.

I recently found a nice table for coffee with some nice, natural knotting and a couple console tables in matching mahogany. For our patio outside we are considering outside fireplaces and we’ll go with some budget wicker furniture initially.

Supplying a brand new home may appear so mature, but I can’t help but sense I am just playing house. The exercise equipment and furniture merely feel as a new era of toys.

Introduction

A Barn Conversion is exactly what it says it is, ie a barn which is no longer used for its premier purpose and has been converted to a different use such as a commercial or residential dwelling. Barns were usually close to the farmhouse and would have been used for storing grain or fodder for animals; housing animals such as cows and horses; or places for food production or storage. Often the stables and barns were the buildings where the business of the farms and manor houses took place so they were built to last and keep out the weather. They were often much better built than the cottages which housed the workers and farm labourers. So it doesn’t take much leap of imagination to see that once no longer needed for the intended purpose their use could be changed to provide much needed dwellings.

History of the Barn Conversion

About thirty or forty years ago there was a sudden spate of new dwellings known as barn conversions. I am not saying barns had never been converted into houses before but suddenly they were all the rage. The barns attached to farms that were no longer being used for their intended purpose became a source of capital for struggling farmers. The change in farm practices such as combine harvester’s, meant that some of the barns previously used as threshing barns were no longer needed for that purpose. What had once been a low value farm buildings could be capitalized on as building land and there was a spate of a new type of dwelling that quickly earned the nickname ‘Dez Rez’ for desirable residences.

The fact that barn conversions were original old buildings yet could be renovated to a high standard while at the same time retaining their original features such as exposed beams or hay stalls, made them different from the average box type house available on the market at the time.

After the war there was an urgent need for housing and lots of homes were put up very quickly and as cheaply as possible to house the many families left destitute after the bombing. As the standard of living improved many people wanted their own home and builders ever willing to supply to demand, built thousands of three bedroom homes to a standard design. Suddenly our country was filling up with lots of little box type housing with no character. So when the barn conversion came along they provided a different type of property with lots of character that attracted a wealthier clientele and sold at highly inflated prices.

Now when large manor type houses are too expensive to run, they are sold off to developers who then convert the main building into flats and apartments, the barns into individual houses and building more houses on the land around the original buildings. My daughter bought her first house in one such development and her house was the original stable building with a large opening for the carriage which was converted into a large arch shaped window. It was certainly different and had lots of character with very high ceilings and lovely open plan spaces.

If you are looking for a good residential investment then you need look no further than barn conversion properties.

Types of Barns

There are a wonderful variety of barns around the country and that is why they are so popular. The original farmers used local materials that were readily available for their barns so they vary greatly depending on the area in which they were constructed. Again this is part of their appeal because although some may be similar you will rarely find two exactly the same.

For instance Lincolnshire has barns made with flint stones where the walls look like cement with the stones imbedded in it making an interesting pattern. These can also be found in Sussex. In the Cotswolds there are wonderful stone barns and in East Anglia clay lump.

Barns that were originally designed for use as a threshing barn would have a large door opening for the cart to deliver the grain. There would be a raised threshing floor where the wheat was separated from the chaff and ventilation openings opposite the door to create a through draft for winnowing.

Near the farmhouse barns were built to be used as milking sheds and dairies, then there were storage barns for fodder and food as well as stables for the horses. Further away there were barns built in fields for sheltering livestock. Often the outbuildings on a farm were much more extensive than the farmhouse itself.

Finding a Barn

Finding and converting a barn is no easy task. With the new regulations in place barns available for conversion are diminishing rapidly. Opposite to my own house there were two quite large brick built barns which the farmer sold to a developer. Being built of brick they were in a bad state of repair, but instead of converting them the builder pulled them down and built two large modern houses on the site. He used the old bricks and created interesting features on the houses to indicate where the barns had been but they were too far gone to be able to be useful for residential dwellings.

Listed buildings

Many old barns are now considered by National Heritage to be buildings of historic or architectural interest and as such are listed either on a Statutory or local list. This means that listed building consent is required for alteration, extension or demolition of any statutory listed building. Where other barns are deemed worthy of protection they are placed on a borough’s local list and will be available from the local borough council. It is then up to the local council to regulate any changes to the building.

A barn that is listed either as a grade I or grade II building will have an additional set of issues for conversion. It will need to be sympathetically repaired, protected and restored with original materials and workmanship involving extra costs of labour and materials.

Conservationists believe that preserving the original structure is the main criteria and non residential purpose is likely to avoid major alteration to the building.

Finding a good barn conversion for sale is quite a challenge but there are still quite a few you there if you search for them.

Construction and Planning

Since the indiscriminate conversion of barns in the 70′s and 80′s to housing units, there has been a change of policy by the local planning authorities. Now there is a ruling in some areas which states that a barn must be declared redundant for farm purposes. Then the new use should preferably be agricultural or light commercial, or even craft shops and community resources before being accepted for residential conversion.

Each local borough council will have their own regulations regarding their policies on conversion of rural buildings into residential dwellings. So if you fall in love with a crumbling ruin or anyone involved with converting a barn or outbuilding would be wise to find out the regulations in the area the barn is situated before you buy. Some policies will be universal throughout the country such as listed buildings or of historic or architectural interest. Generally the outside of the barn is required to retain its original appearance without the addition of extra windows and doors. This can be problematic for residential purposes because barns generally did not have many windows and the doors were often much larger than required for housing.

The process of getting planning permission can be very long winded. There have to be surveys for various habitation such as bats and barn owls. In damp areas one such problem can be the blue crested newt where only specially trained people can handle them and their presence can delay the process of building for a year or more. There might have to be contamination reports or archaeological report. Each time a survey is done there is a significant cost involved and a delay to the planning permission process.

On top of that there are the infrastructure issues. They may be some services connected such as electricity and water but consideration may also need to be given to sewage and gas and what the costs are of bringing such services to the building.

Old timbers found in barns are often so badly damaged that repairing in the traditional way may not be possible. Although it may be possible to use more modern resin bonding techniques.

Although the original barn building would have been constructed before our current building regulations, they are still required to comply with the strict standards now in existence. The heat loss standards are a challenge particularly with large open spaces and fire regulations and structural stability can also be tricky to comply with.

When barns were originally constructed there was little concern for protection against damp as they were designed for agricultural use. They were built without a damp course and salt contamination is often a problem. One of the major tasks when converting a barn is to resolve the issues of damp. As barns were typically made from a wide range of materials, there is no one specific solution to all damp problems. A good survey from a damp specialist is recommended to get an estimate of costs for this treatment.

Whilst barn renovations might sound like a romantic concept the reality of converting an old outdoor building into a modern day home or office can be quite daunting.

Building Regulations and Costs

The special ambience and character that a converted barn has is what makes them very desirable. Prospective owners will have a feeling for the building, saying things like “When we first saw the building we just fell in love with it” Often that just means that they projected their desires and dreams onto the building imagining the life style they want will be achieved by living in that particular building.Those kinds of life decisions can often be the most expensive ones!

This means that the heart is ruling the head and sometimes means that no matter what it costs they have to have it. That is fine if you have an unlimited source of revenue to lay out, but it can be dangerous to allow spending to get out of hand so that you end up bankrupting yourself for a passion.

So let us look at the reality of converting a barn.They were built to keep the rain out and let the air in, so they will be very draughty. They were often put up by labourers with no real building and structural knowledge, so that there might be severe structural difficulties. The beams and walls were built to only take the stresses of the necessary inner divisions at the time but modern regulations may require extra structural supports and strengthening to take the load of the new services required.

Barns were never heated because they were work places, but once you convert a barn into a dwelling it will be heated usually with central heating which will dry out the structure causing it to shrink and develop cracks that could let in water. Further services such as gas and sewage will no doubt have to be installed and improved.

A damp proof system and maybe other damp solutions will need to be included in the renovation. The restrictions on inserting windows and doors may create design problems that make the interior uncomfortably dark. Heat loss prevention is now part of the building regulations requirement and barns may not be suitable for such procedures, so further work may be necessary to comply with modern standards.

Once you have found your barn and had it surveyed and if you still want to go ahead with your barn conversion then a good architect, surveyor and builders are essential for the success of the project.

Conclusion

The idea of a barn conversion may be appealing because of its ambience and character and space that it offers. However, although zero rated for VAT purposes, barn conversions are generally much more expensive than building a new house.

Converting a barn is a much more complex process than it seems because when they were originally constructed they were outside of any building regulations and so to comply with modern day standards they almost always need major structural alterations.

The bias against residential conversion is because too many early renovations just became glorified houses and lost the original barn effect by adding extra doors and windows. Now the strict planning regulations are aimed at deterring conversions into residential use, the preference being to retain the agricultural use of a barn or to change the use to some kind of commercial application.

Notwithstanding that, the completed barn conversion, in the correct setting, is a satisfying and beautiful sight, affording the owner and builder a sense of satisfaction and achievement.

The key indicator of success is that the barn still looks like a barn after the conversion, although it is your home inside and offers you all of the luxuries and amenities of a modern executive home.

Many homeowners are considering taking advantage of today’s historically low interest rates by refinancing their mortgage. In many cases, they are able to save hundreds of dollars per month by refinancing. Whether mortgage refinancing makes sense for you can be easily determined by doing some simple math.

The first consideration is how much lower your new interest rate should be than your current rate. There is a common belief that if current rates are more than 1.5 to 2 percentage points lower than your current rate, then you should refinance. That’s a good starting point, but there is more to the story than just the raw interest rate.

Your real concern should be the total cost of the mortgage refinance both in the short term and the long term. The total cost includes not only the monthly mortgage payment (principal plus interest), but the closing costs, as well. Closing costs typically include such things as:

 

 

• Appraisal fee

 

 

• Credit Report fee

 

 

• Processing fee

 

 

• Commitment fee

 

 

• Tax Service fee

 

 

• Flood Certification fee

 

 

• Discount points (if any)

 

 

• Title Insurance (based on mortgage amount)

 

 

• Recording/Notary fee

 

 

• Per diem Interest

 

 

• Real Estate Taxes

 

 

• Home Insurance (percentage of mortgage amount)

 

 

Adding all these up can easily run into several thousand dollars, even without discount points. This is money that must be paid at the loan closing. In the case of a mortgage refinancing, lenders often advertise “no closing costs”, which is a bit misleading. The truth is that there ARE closing costs, but they are paid out of the proceeds of the loan rather than the pocket of the homeowner. This is possible when the homeowner borrows against the equity in their home as part of the refinancing.

As an example, let’s say that your home is worth $175,000. Your original mortgage was for $125,000 over 30 years at 7% interest. You still owe $100,000 on the original mortgage. The closing costs for your refinance are $3,000. If you simply refinance the $100,000 amount at a lower interest rate you will reduce your monthly payments, but you will have to pay the $3,000 closing costs out of your own pocket. If you choose the “no closing costs” option, your $3,000 closing costs will be paid by simply borrowing the additional money against the equity in your home (i.e. the value of your home less the amount owed). Your mortgage will now be for $103,000 instead of $100,000.

So, what about that widely held 2 percentage points belief we mentioned earlier? The monthly payment for a 30-year $125,000 mortgage at 7% interest is $831.63. For your new 30-year $100,000 loan at 5% interest, the monthly payment is $536.82, a savings of almost $300 per month. If the new mortgage is $103,000, the monthly payment is $552.93, still saving you over $275 per month. In this scenario, considering only the monthly savings, you would recoup your closing costs in as little as 10 months.

Sounds great, right? Well, there’s another factor you need to consider. If your original mortgage was $125,000, you’ve been paying on it for 152 months to get the principal balance down to $100,000. Therefore, you have 208 months left before the mortgage is paid off under the original terms. If you continue without refinancing, you’ll pay an additional $172,978 (208 months at $831.63 per month).

If you refinance your mortgage for the $100,000 you currently owe, you’ll pay on it for 360 months at $536.82 plus the $3,000 closing costs for a total of $196,255.

$172,978 <– payout without refinancing

-196,255 <– payout after refinancing

-$23,277 <– difference

In this case, by refinancing you will end up paying an additional $23,277 for the new loan over the original mortgage. This works out to about $775 per year, which may be acceptable to you in order to have the lower monthly payment now. You are the only one who can make that decision based on your personal financial situation. The important thing when refinancing your mortgage is to consider all the ramifications.

This is another of today’s money secrets that can help you get the most for your money in today’s lending market!

It seems that more than ever our busy lifestyles require cleaning services to help keep things clean. Using cleaning services can alleviate the workload by allowing you to have someone else take care of those tasks on a regular basis. When it comes to hiring a service, you always need to be wary of incompetence. Trying to save a few dollars with “bargain” services is only a temporary shortcut.

You might already be considering using a professional cleaning service. If this is your situation, select a company that is able to meet your cleaning needs. It is similar to Los Angeles Merry Maids. For this reason, it is important to choose a professional cleaning service that has a solid reputation for being competent and thorough.

Your cleaning needs will need to be determined in order to get started. Although it might sound good, it is not like maid service for Los Angeles. Some areas will need only minor cleaning, while others will require a complete cleaning. Determining the frequency of the cleaning service will help you to save money by only using them when it is truly needed and not wasting money by paying for services when you don’t need them quite so often.

Every professional cleaning service should be able to provide quick and reliable service. This is similar to clean house service for Santa Monica. We know that these kinds of commercial cleaning services have a lot of services to offer their customers. When selecting a cleaning company it is wise to use companies that have selected employees that are properly insured and have performed extensive background checks.

Omitting this step could yield serious consequences in the future. Also make sure that the company uses industry standards for their cleaning methods and regular schedules, and carry their own cleaning equipment.

You will find that many cleaning services also offer supplemental services. Satisfactory results should be delivered to you on a consistent basis from any reputable cleaning company. In addition to being more enjoyable, a clean area is also better for your health.

In this busy day and age, it can be difficult squeezing a healthy workout routine into your schedule. And on top of that equipment and gym memberships seem to be more expensive when so many of us can afford less.

The Power 90 workout, or the P90x workout, is a new regiment designed and presented by fitness guru Tony Horton. It has the ambitious goal of improving your physique in 90 days (hence the p90x in the name).

To be clear, I am not advocating the P90x workout; I am simply describing it as it is one of many options available to people trying to get in shape.

The workout package comes with twelve separate workouts on DVD set led by Tony Horton himself.

This fitness routine covers appropriate stretch exercise as well as plyometrics. The explanation of these different portions of the workout are described in a simple and down-to-earth way.

Each workout is intended to challenge you more and more over time, so if you don’t have the discipline and perseverance to stick to any kind of workout, you may struggle with this one as well.

When you consider any p90x reviews or pitches to buy p90x, you need to ask, does p90x work for you personally? And the answer will be as much about your attitude and personal discipline as it is about the product itself.

Each workout lasts around an hour or so and includes extensive encouragement to keep you going. Whether you find these pep talks helpful or no will really be up to your own personality.

You’ll find all the workouts organized in specific sections using an on-screen bar to display your progress.

With p90x routine, you will cover strength training, cardiovascular training and extensive stretching to experience a balanced workout.

The basic premise is twofold: Balance strength, cardio and flexibility, and keep surprising your body to avoid plateaus.

Whether Tony Horton’s personality and particular regiment will work is entirely up to your personality and your level of discipline.

Our skin makes its coloring from pigments. They are colored pigments. People with dark skin have more of these pigments and those with lighter skin have less of them. This pigment is known as melanin.

The main purpose of melanin is to protect the body from sun rays. That is why, we get tanned when we expose ourselves to sun. Tanning means more production of melanin. Cells known as melanocytes in the skin produce melanin.

If for any cause, the skin begins losing melanin from a patch on the body, light skin develops on that place. This is called disease of vitiligo. There is no specific cause known for vitiligo except for the thought that the body destroys the melanin itself. That is why this is called an autoimmune disease (a disease where the body attacks itself).

Vitiligo can develop on the whole body, or it can stop after creating few patches. Anybody can get it on any part of the body. There is no perfect cure for it. There is no prevention for vitiligo. Vitiligo also exposes skin to sun rays and that is dangerous. Let us find out more about it.

Vitiligo can develop on any part of the body, at any age and in anyone. Though it is believed that exposed parts of body have higher chances of developing Vitiligo, it can appear anywhere. Color of skin does not affect the probability of getting vitiligo. Similarly, it can strike both the sexes and at any age and vitiligo treatments for everyone is very similar.

It is estimated that in about one-fifth of the cases, other family members may also have vitiligo. As vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder, its patients are monitored for other autoimmune diseases such as thyroid disorders, alopecia aerta, etc. You should talk to your doctor about this in detail.

Vitiligo begins with a small area of lighter color, which slowly turns to a white patch. Many patches can also develop at the same time. After some time, the discoloration may stop and then restart after some time. Some people may lose all the skin pigment. The hair also loses color at the site of vitiligo.

The cause of vitiligo is not known and so it is difficult to provide a definitive vitiligo cure, but it is thought that either the body destroys the melanin or it destroys itself. But the result is loss of pigment that protects body against sun damage.

I hope this helps you better understand the causes and effects of vitiligo. You shoul seek medical advice should begin to experience this mysterious disorder.

DISCLAIMER: I hope this helps, but note that I am not a medical professional so you should consult with a medical doctor before taking any medical suggestions from the Internet.
