Skylights: A homemade shallow box-like acrylic condensation cover for dome installations

Acrylic or polycarbonate dome skylights come in various sizes today. Traditional ones, however, are square to rectangular in shape and are approximately 5″ tall. They can range in width and length from 12″ to 36″ and are 1/8″ thick.

These domes can be mounted to wood curbs (2×2″ to 2×6″), around which roof tiles are caulked or thin metal flashing is applied to prevent rain from seeping around. These domes can also be surface mounted directly to the tar paper and sheets of wood directly under the shingles.

In the latter case, the tiles surrounding the dome are placed directly on its flat outer flanges in a similar manner to how tiles are placed on the flat metal of roof vents, chimneys, sewer grates, etc. This installation minimizes the height of the dome.

Problem. Either way, or however domes are mounted, they can and will produce unwanted condensation and similar leaks, even if they have an internal plastic shield inside them. These domes are also vulnerable to cracking from large hail, fallen tree limbs, earthquakes, or careless roofers. When these events occur, the skylights will also filter rainwater in addition to forming moisture.

Solution. Build and install a 5-1/2″ tall shallow box-like hard transparent cover over the dome on the roof. This cover will act like a storm window by taking the brunt of temperature change and formation of most condensation For this article, an example will be used to cover a 20″ square dome (including a 1″ flange on each side of the 18″ square dome), 5″ high and mounted on the surface directly on the roof sheet.Similar covers can be built proportionately for other dome sizes.

Materials and tools (total cost of parts: $50-90, depending on availability of acrylic sheet).

  • One 2x6x96″ pressure treated board ($5)
  • One 22×22″ sheet of 0.22″ thick heavy acrylic plexiglass ($25-60, depending on available cut sizes at the store). If the part is to be cut from a larger sheet, leave the protective films unpeeled on both sides of the sheet until sawing is complete. Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw blade. Otherwise, let the outlet cut it to size.
  • Two #12×3″ Philips screws
  • 20 to 30 – #8×1″ Philips Drywall Screws (Broad Head)
  • A small tube of clear silicone caulk ($4)
  • Two tubes of silicone window/door caulking similar in color to roof shingles ($8)
  • Four 2-1/2″ Perpendicularly Flat L-Brackets ($5)
  • Eight #10×1″ wood screws (to attach L-brackets to deck frame)
  • Eight #10×1-1/2 to 2″ wood screws (to attach frame L-brackets to roof through shingles)
  • One quart of oil-based waterproof paint similar in color to the roof tiles ($4)
  • Tools: electric circular saw, electric drill, drill bits, Philips screwdriver, caulking gun, putty knife, rat-tail file, brush

roof building.

1. Cut the 2×6″ board into four square corner pieces: 2 22″ long and 2 19″ long.

2. Assemble the 22″ square box frame by sealing/securing the four corners with the waterproof silicone window/door caulking and 3″ screws.

3. On what will be the bottom end of the bottom side, use the file to make at least three crescent-shaped slots for moisture drainage.

4. Paint both the inside and outside of the wood frame. Let dry.

5. Place the acrylic plexiglass flush on top of the frame.

6. Mark on the plexiglass where the screw holes will go, approximately 5″ apart around the top of the frame.

7. At each mark, drill a hole through the plexiglass (only) wider than the drywall screw.

8. Next, using a narrow bit, drill 1/2″ deep holes at the dead center of the wood frame through the plexiglass holes.

9. Remove the plexiglass from the frame, noting how it fits into the frame.

10. Brush any plastic or wood chips from the frame and plexiglass.

11. Using the silicone caulk, add a narrow bead along each side of the frame’s pre-drilled holes around it.

12. Carefully replace the plexiglass on top of the frame, lining it up with the original drilled holes where appropriate.

13. Install the screws with a medium tightening, so as not to break the plexiglass. The putty will flatten out and spread between the plexiglass and the frame, sealing it.

14. Add at least one flat L-bracket to each side of the frame flush with its underside using the 1″ wood screws.

15. Paint the supports.

installation cover (the easy way).

1. While using safety precautions, bring the entire canopy up to the roof, assuming the roof has a low slope and is safe to walk on.

2. Center it over the dome skylight, square by square.

3. Attach dome to ceiling through shingles with 1-1/2 to 2″ wood screws, depending on thickness of shingles.

4. Seal the bottom side of the top end and both sides of the cover with silicone door and window caulking. Seal the brackets and screws in the same way. Leave underside of bottom end unsealed for drainage. It’s a storm window.

5. If necessary, touch up the frame and supports with paint.

By installing the deck over the shingles, the plywood under the shingles is also protected from any moisture damage. This location also raises the cover above the dome for proper air space.

This cover will take over the formation of almost all of the condensation that would otherwise occur inside the dome, none of which will pass through the dome into the house or under the shingles. It will also protect the dome from hail, falling tree limbs and other damage. For more information on the types of skylights and their maintenance, check out these sites.

How to promote your blog in 5 easy steps

If you have a blog and are eager to be discovered by the rest of the world, then a roadmap on how to promote your blog is probably what you are looking for. And not just any roadmap, a detailed and descriptive roadmap, so you know exactly what to do, right? Here’s an easy-to-follow plan just for you…

Actually, focusing more on the topic of how to promote your blog effectively is an even better plan. Because effectiveness is key when looking for the best ways to promote your blogging efforts.

You work hard on your blog, so you want to implement promotion strategies that give you the most bang for your buck, right?

But exactly what to do and how to promote your blog can be a daunting task. Believe me, I know, I’ve tried almost all of them.

I’ve paid hundreds of dollars on all kinds of bookmarking, directory submissions, not to mention social media and extensive “google search”.

But what I found out is that there are a handful of proven methods that can attract lots of visitors to your blog. And you don’t have to pay money to promote your blog, it’s all FREE!

You can learn how to promote your blog very quickly and easily with these 5 easy steps.

Don’t worry if they seem long, they are really very easy and will bring you more readers than you ever imagined.

Step 1 – When looking at how to promote your blog, the first step is to identify what your goals are for your promotional efforts.

Imagine a business: Businesses don’t just buy advertising space or hire sales staff without a clearly defined plan. They have a goal in mind and everything they do is related to that goal.

The same goes for your blog. Write down some goals you want to achieve with your promotional efforts: do you want to hit the 100, 500, or 1,000 visitor/day mark, or get 500 new subscribers to your newsletter, or sell $x amount of dollars in your Amazon store? Why are you promoting your blog? This is a crucial step, one that cannot be ignored. Having a goal guides you in deciding where to send all of your blog visitors.

You wouldn’t want to send readers to your blog without having it structured to receive those visitors. Imagine getting a bunch of new readers, new leads for your blog, only to leave within minutes of arriving (check this percentage on how to use Google Analytics) or get sent to a page that isn’t relevant to what they were expecting. . All your promotional strategies went out the window! Setting goals and clearly defining what the customer needs to do next is critical to any promotion strategy. Key question here: Why are you promoting your blog?

Step 2 – After you’ve reached a concrete goal, then it’s time to put the wheels in motion. I’ll use the well-known example of dog training to help explain this step. Dog training is a very broad niche, imagine that your niche is more specialized: dog training in a laboratory.

Your blog, Dog Training a Lab, is up and running and you’ve been posting quality content for a few weeks now. You want to promote your blog with the goal of selling items from your Amazon links. That is your ultimate goal: to sell items that you will refer your readers to, through the Amazon links in your posts.

Now that we have defined a goal, we can move on to putting a plan into action.

And as with any marketing or promotional effort, the question to ask is how do I present myself to people interested in what I have to offer? Where are all these people hanging out? Where do people meet who want to talk about dog training…

Well, they meet on the forums…

People who want to know about dog training are found in the community forums discussing dog training with other people.

I googled dog training forums and several websites came up, then I googled lab dog training forums and came up with some forums that are geared just for labs.

Sparkly!

Go where the people are: There are people interested in training dogs in a lab on the community forums. Go there and participate. Contribute and you’ll get visitors to your blog to buy your latest and greatest dog leash or some other item you’re blogging about.

Step 3 – Next it’s time to get on Twitter and start tweeting, notice I said start tweeting. Just being on Twitter doesn’t do anything for your business, you have to say something.

If tweeting is too far out of your comfort zone, try tweeting someone else’s posts or retweeting what someone else has said to begin with. You still gain popularity because your name is in the tweet. Keep using it and you will gain followers. Take a big leap of faith and tweet something: spread the word on a new dog training video you just watched. You’ll start tweeting, which will send people to your blog, leading to sales in no time.

Step 4 – Configure Facebook for your business. Tell your friends about a dog toy sale or mention a new blog post you just published. The point is to be as exposed as possible so visitors can find you anywhere and everywhere. Generating friends on Facebook will be covered in another post, but for now put a button on your blog to encourage others to find you on Facebook.

At the bottom of your blog posts, place a social connect button with a Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon, Digg, and Google+ button so readers can simply click a button to post to Twitter or any of the others; again, this makes it easy. for visitors to share a great post with others and it will drive more traffic to your blog. If you use WordPress there is a plugin for this, Blogger will also have an option in its settings.

step 5 – Comments make the world go round. You may have heard this from me before, but feedback really is like gold. Find other blogs in your niche or slightly outside of it. Let’s look at the dog training a lab example. I would jump to other dog training blogs in a lab and read their posts and make a smart comment. Then he would climb and jump to some general dog training blogs and read his posts and comment there. Do you see where this is heading?

Treat the comments you receive with care – they do much more than just take up space on your post’s page. Comments show interaction: Visitors like to see and read comments. Comments build your report with search engines. They provide links that lead to your website; They build links outside of your website. The comments mean that you have an interactive and attentive blog and that is what makes the difference between a successful blog and a failed blog.

Five easy steps on how to promote your blog, right?

In fact, these steps are very easy to implement: take a night and set up these accounts and you’ll be amazed at the difference it makes.

Finding out how to promote your blog is made even easier in my latest book, Profitable Blogging Made Easy. Get your copy today!

Advantages of the Powertec home gym

To be on your way to serious strength training, one has the options of opting for specific equipment designed just for that purpose. Such equipment may include free weights, pulley and cable operated weight machines, and leverage machines like in the Powertec home gym. Among these three options, the Powertec home gym is not only the safest, most flexible and adaptable system, but also combines the advantages of the remaining two systems. Powertec home gym has several features and benefits associated with it for you to opt for.

Powertec home gym as a substitute for free weights

Free weights have traditionally been used as an effective training method to develop various muscles in the body and improve fitness levels. However, they also have some disadvantages. He agreed that free weights give one the flexibility to do various forms of exercises; however, one can become irregular if one does not follow the weight training process properly. Doing it the wrong way would not be as helpful as the amount of effort one is putting in.

To perform the exercises properly, the Powertech home gym uses the concept of levers and fulcrums so that one does the free weight exercises in the manner prescribed in the textbooks. While it acts as a guiding force by providing desired angles and movements, it also ensures safety. The fact that the Powertec home gym is a machine, one can exercise as much as they want without thinking about the point of getting injured. This is especially useful because the Powertec home gym is also used without a trainer.

Advantages of Powertec Home Gym over the traditional gym

While regular machines are also safe and allow you to exercise without worrying about the safety factor, the Powertec home gym uses the concept of levers and fulcrums. The cables and pulleys of regular machines that are frictional in nature, which in turn prevent smooth action and limit your weight training program, while the levers and fulcrums aid in almost frictionless motion and therefore they are much more effective by nature.

While traditional machines allow the pulley system to load the weights by itself by reducing the effect of the entire exercise. However, with the Powertec home gym, the design is such that it ensures that while you exercise in it you feel the same as when you work with free weights, since it copies the movements of free weights so that you get the value of your training session. training.

Why Powertech?

Some other factors that tip your scales towards the Powertec home gym option include the fact that they are manufactured by an organization that has been in the business of producing commercial machines for a long time, so you can be sure of the quality. Other than this, the size of the machines is such that they are much more compact and give you the flexibility to fit them into smaller areas. Powertec knows that their products are of the highest quality and that is why most of their customers keep coming back for their products, which are a brand name of an organization that produces high quality products. That is why you should not wait and opt for a Powertec house now and ensure a healthy and toned body.

Employee Return to Work Program

All employees are not the same. To keep your business running every day, do you know that you speak and approach each employee differently? That same method can hold true when working with employees to get them back to work quickly and safely after a workers’ compensation claim.

Return-to-work approach, one employee at a time

Just as the tasks and duties correspond to each employee, so should the return to work program. There are many different return to work programs that can be used. Match the program to specific employee personalities for the most successful results. While one employee may respond well to several phone calls a week, another may find it too intrusive. Finding the balance is the key to getting employees back to work quickly, effectively, and to the benefit of your business.

In general, there are mainly four different employee personality types ranging from completely satisfied to completely dissatisfied. The four types are:

Satisfied and Committed: One who is happy and does not need to produce to return to work.

Satisfied and Not Committed: One who is happy, but willing to be out of a job.

Unhappy and Passive: Someone who is unhappy, but doesn’t deliberately make plans to lose their job. However, they can take advantage of the system to stay out longer than necessary.

Unhappy and Active: Someone who is very unhappy with their situation and will actively try to take advantage of the system. This employee doesn’t want to come back, makes plans to stay away longer, and is actively working on a plan to never come back to work.

Most employees will fall into one of these description categories and will respond similarly to different return-to-work strategies. The key is to handle each situation according to the personalities of the employees.

Adapt to the personality of the employee

for example, a satisfied and committed The employee might be someone who hasn’t missed a day of work in years, attends company events, and is always seen as an entrepreneur. A workers’ compensation claim can be perceived as a setback for this type of individual and it will take little interaction from the employer to return them to work. In this case, a recommended strategy is to send out a recovery card and work in partnership to provide a productive transition service position. The employer’s actions in this case, such as aggressive surveillance, can have the opposite effect and make the employee unwilling to return to work. With a satisfied and disengaged employee, a more interactive approach can be used. For example; invite the employee to seminars or training events prior to return. This will provide an introductory stage to the return to work program.

a committed and unhappy employed in the same situation will require a completely different approach. This type of employee is usually trying not to return to work. Employers of compromised and dissatisfied employees will need to take a much more aggressive approach that includes designing and implementing fraud prevention measures, surveillance procedures, hiring investigators, and having constant and frequent contact with the employee. Without starting the return to work process, the employee will put you on hold forever.

Finally, put the slogan of your return to work program by employee as you know the employee. A cookie cutting program is the least successful program.

Whiting New Jersey feeds water to aliens on Mars; Read all about it!

I was walking through the foundations of the old hotel near Docspond. You know the ones Piney burned in the late sixties. Ah, you know, I saw you in the hidden forest when it was on fire with your ax in hand and the helmet you fought to keep slipping over your eyes. But that is years ago and neither heard nor exists. But you want to know a bigger secret I found out than the local fire company burning down the stripper in town. MY B.

Yes, that is correct, MIB. Yeah. I found one of those mind-wiping things. You might think I’m a little crazy, but I sure found one. Marked “United States Government Property”. Very good, it’s a little rusty and one end is missing, but the piece that slides up and off the shaft is still intact.

Now Officially, it was first cleared and established as an iron forge and swamp mining site in the 19th century. Gone are the glory days when the swamps provided the devil’s pills for the Revolutionary War, but no less viable. The hotel was originally built to house employees in this industrial city. On three plots, an industrious young man even grew produce to feed these forge men. Until 1944, being abandoned for years, until that time, Miss Jeanie Epolito was forced to sell when the county foreclosed on all Manchester Land Companies properties for tax evasion. It was then that Mr. Giovanni Enea, a doctor of sorts, owner of United Spring down the street, seized that property for a nudist colony. To build on your success selling mineral water to New York City, why not have a spa where you can not only drink the water but also bathe in it? Adding many years to your life.

Now you may not have liked Mr. Enea, or the Doc as they called him, but you have to admit there was some fortiture and propensity, if not fortunsity! Being a Doctor and genealogist in Biotechnology. Did he grow some monster blueberries with Mrs. White of Whitesbog, the first woman or man to grow blueberries. He even made those little plastic baskets that all the fruit comes in these days. I still eat them from the garden and they are so juicy! But there was more to this Sicilian Doctor…

When I first moved to this corner of the colony kitty house, I used to see this strange star. He sat low in the sky. Too high for a lamppost that stood on a small hill through the woods. But too short to be any star. Yes, Fort Dix was shooting flares, but these were yellow and they zigzagged and fell in fifteen minutes. No, this sat motionless in the sky all night, just after sunset. I have seen this star every summer for four years. Then one summer, he left.

I didn’t think much of it for the next five years, until! My parents left when I was in high school and I invited some friends to a party. Being a little worried, rough people, we sat outside on the porch. One named Shambo pointed up and looked us all in the eye and said, “Have you ever heard of the alien that got shot trying to escape over a fence at Fort Dix?” I thought he was full of shit. “They captured his boat and were examining him until one day he got tired and apologized. Well, he made it to the fence just fine, but no further.” I learned a long time ago from Pugsley, or Peanut in the account that he was the first to be caught stealing peanuts or anything else in the new food store, to listen to stories and not interrupt them with valid questions, as long as the money and transportation was not part of it. So I listened, though not believing Shambo until…

“Yeah, that alien was shot five years ago!”

Five years ago? No, it can not be. It has been so long! Summer of ’73, yes it has been. These are things that went through my head at the time.

Now the window that faces northwest from my room. It’s a bit strange. Now look to the southwest corner, that’s where I saw the star. Now we know what happened to that. Below is where the doctor got burned. But in the north corner, that’s where the tower that was supposed to connect to the Hindenburg is located. But we all know what happened before he could do that. The window of destruction.

Now let’s go back to yesterday. I found that MIB mind eraser thing right. I did some research on topographic and aerial maps. They were inspected in the field. Not only were they inspected in the field, but the 1947 aerial map is top secret. 1947 Roswell sighting and all. The USGS office doesn’t even have access to it. Have you ever heard of Whiting, New Jersey? So why should the military do it?

When I was little walking through the swamps behind Docspond, I found PVC pipes coming out of the center of the swamp. Ventilation? A young mind of five years goes towards underground silos. Could there be men sneaking in here in the middle of the night with lunchboxes to go to work? “Hello Joe”: Good evening, Frank.”; in the swamp. We have a known silo just three miles away. It has been closed since June 7, 1960. A BOMARC missile at McGuire Air Force Base, [near Trenton,] The New Jersey in storage ready condition (allowing launch in two minutes) was destroyed by explosion and fire after a high-pressure helium tank exploded and ruptured the missile’s fuel tanks. The warhead was also destroyed by fire, although the high explosive did not detonate. The nuclear safety devices acted as planned. Contamination was restricted to an area immediately below the gun and an adjacent elongated area approximately 100 feet long, caused by drainage of firefighting water. Well, the next town on Toms River has radionuclides or something in the water, but not to worry.

The New York Times reported that the 47-foot missile “melted under intense fire fueled by its 100-pound TNT blasting cap…The atomic warhead apparently fell into the remaining melt of the missile, which burned for forty-five minutes.” . .” The radiation “was caused when the thoriated magnesium metal that forms part of the weapon caught fire, … the metal, already radioactive, becomes highly radioactive when burned.”

I think the aliens did this on purpose. To mark the place. You know like a poster seen from the stars. a beacon. Were the Doctor’s nudists Earthlings or not? Was Giovanni Enea more than a recent alien from Sicily, or was he from the stars? They might say New Yorkers might be out of this world, but did you sell your mineral water to Mars? As all scientists know, there is no water on Mars. So who else would need it more than them?

I don’t know how in 1947, three years after the opening of Nature’s Rest Nudist Colony, how they came to meet these aliens. MIB, how did they find out? Was it spied on during normal aerial photography that they saw something strange? Atop Devil’s Mountain from the forest colony is a circle of felled trees like dominoes. On the outskirts, for a sixteenth of a mile in thick undergrowth, trees have been felled. Now, this was the landing site?

But what brings them here in and around 1940? Well, in 1938, the Hindenburg was the world’s first internationally broadcast news disaster. Now those waves bounce back into space forever. Did you hear it? Did it take you six years to hear it and travel here? In that report it was heard: “In the resort town of Lakehurst, a Manchester boro outside of Whiting in ..”. Perhaps all they cared about was the mention of a resort town. Could this be all that was needed? Did some cosmic Lief Erickson sell some aliens to travel to Whiting NJ? Exploring parties reported United Spring Co drawing water from one of the largest aquifers in North America, the Cohansey-Kirkwood Aquifer? 17 billion tons in Cohansey alone. Where else would you go if you were from Mars and needed water? Have you ever heard of whiting?

So, Doc Enea wasn’t just hated for his car with the black devil of a redneck hood ornament taunting you, or his clothing optional style, his intellectual snobbery, or his dangerous choice of nudist fauna (Honey Locust and Holly), but he was hated for allowing illegal aliens in.

That explains all the military transports flying low, very low, over the site at all hours of the day. You know!

Tips for Training Stubborn English Bulldogs

English bulldogs make great family pets. These loyal and affectionate dogs attract families around the world with their short, muscular bodies and multitude of wrinkles. They are the most adorable puppies and the most beautiful dogs when fully grown. The one thing many dog ​​owners don’t realize is that while English bulldogs make amazing family pets, they are exceptionally stubborn.

The best way to train any dog ​​is with positive reinforcement. When dealing with a dog with a stubborn nature, negative reinforcement such as yelling or slapping will not do the trick. Teaching the dog that when he does something right he is rewarded is the best method for this particular breed that craves attention and is loyal, wanting to please his owner when he can.

One of the best methods of training your English bulldog is clicker training. Clicker training has been used by dolphin trainers for years and it comes with many positive rewards. When dealing with a stubborn dog, you can’t afford a delay between the dog actually doing what he’s asked and praise. Due to the fact that these dogs love attention from their owners, petting them to tell them they did well will only increase their craving for affection.

Another thing to remember is that these dogs do not like exercise. Most likely, when you remove the collar and leash, the dog will lie down and refuse to leave the house. Being indoor dogs, you’ll also want to make sure they don’t dirty your house when you’re away or chew on your expensive couch if left alone.

This means that petting the dog to tell him that he has done well or giving him cookies or treats is not the way to go. With clicker training, the dog soon learns that when you click, he has done what you asked. It is a quick method that requires a lot of patience and quick triggers. When your English bulldog finally does what you ask, which can take a lot of time and patience, praise him in a positive voice. The dog will soon realize that saying “good boy” in a happy tone is exactly what he needs and he knows that you are happy with his achievement.

Linking the clicker with positive consequences has proven to be highly successful in English bulldog training. When training this particular breed, you cannot afford to take a break from training. Training should be carried out at regular intervals at various times of the day. Keep training times short because the dog will lose interest. Remember that patience is key as these dogs have minds of their own and will be stubborn to begin with.

Start your training as soon as your new puppy comes home. The first training is house training, teaching the dog to go out on his own when he needs to go to the bathroom. This is the most important step in the training process and once you’ve accomplished it, you can move on to other training techniques. Puppies can begin to train, understand commands and follow commands from two months of age.

When you begin your training routine with an English bulldog, it’s a good idea to establish a set routine that includes feeding times, bath times, and play times. A dog with an established routine will be a happy and confident dog. Be sure to add a few ten-minute training times into the day to ensure you start working on the important commands you want your dog to learn in the future.

How to get your exciting real estate license and what does it offer?

First, to obtain your Real Estate license, you will need to take a 63-hour pre-license course. Many online educational sites offer this and it can be done in the comfort of your own home. If you are more of a person in class, your local community college might offer the course. When taken in real class, the course can take 4-6 weeks due to scheduling. Online classes that you can do at your own pace. So if you want, you can do the whole course in one week.

Below are some requirements for the state of Florida to obtain your Real Estate License

General requirements:

You must be 18 years of age, have a high school diploma or GED to obtain your Real Estate License.

Educational requirements:

Complete the 63-hour prelicensing course and pass.

Examination and application requirements:

· Submit a completed real estate license application, submit your fingerprints and pay any associated fees.

Pass the Florida Real Estate Sales Associate state exam with at least a score of 75 points out of 100 points or pass the Florida Real Estate Law exam with a score of 30 points out of 40 points.

Activate your license with a real estate broker using the appropriate DBPR forms or your broker can activate online.

These are the basic steps necessary to obtain your Real Estate license in Florida. Getting your Real Estate license sounds easy, and to a certain extent, it is. However, the exam and the amount of study should not be taken lightly. I would recommend doing a little more searching online before deciding on a Real Estate license. If you want to make a career change, this is definitely a great one.

So how do you really get started in real estate and what does it offer?

First of all, once you have obtained your License, activate it with a broker. This is where you have to decide which path you want in Real Estate. Different companies offer different options, divisions, rates, training, etc. Take for example:

Property Management – ​​It is best to look for local property management companies. There are also national property management companies that you can join. Once you join them, throughout your time in this field, you will gain knowledge and experience in all legal aspects of property management. There are many of them, from how to evict a tenant to how to put the notices on your door and in what timeframes. Property management is a lot of work and at the same time rewarding. Many agents gravitate towards this field due to the steady stream of monthly income. Others don’t want to deal with tenant headaches. For example, if you manage 150 units and average a call rate of 10%, that would be 15 different issues to address during that month. These can be anything from non-functioning air conditioning units to plumbing issues; tenants locked out of their homes and need access, tenants who are bothering other neighbors. One, the positive side which means that 135 units will not cause any problems. On average, management companies charge around 10% of the monthly rent to landlords (every company and state is different), in return you as an agent can get a percentage of that. Since all companies offer different payouts, let’s average the company’s monthly revenue. Let’s say 150 Units rented for $1000 each month would be 10% of $1000 which is $100 X 150 units ‘equals’ a monthly income of $15K. Now you see the stable income that I mentioned earlier.

Luxury Real Estate: This is also a very good niche once you get your license. There are pros and cons as there are with property management. When we talk about Luxury Real Estate we are talking about houses from 1M and up. The obvious benefit of this is the amount of money you earn on each transaction. Example, a sale of 1 million at 3% commission earns you 30,000 revenue, now subtract your splits with your broker, say an 80/20 split, the agent would get $24,000 commission, do that 4 times a year and you’ll have 96,000. Not bad for going on a 65-hour pre-licensing course. Let’s point out the cons. It is not as easy as it seems or as seen on television. This market is more of a referral based market. You can definitely do it without reference, but at some point, you need to have those buyers or sellers in your sphere. The cost to reach this price range is very expensive up front. We are talking about a marketing campaign in the range of 4k to 5k a month at least in advertising within those areas. After a few months of the campaign, you may get a few calls from sellers or buyers. There’s a lot more to it than just mailing, it needs to be done the right way. Therefore, a large investment is needed to start immediately in that price range.

Real Estate Agent: The two previous paths do not appear to everyone, I would say that 90% of agents go through the traditional Real Estate Agent path. This path in a sense leads to the previous two as well. As you are in the field, you will learn from other agents, property managers, etc. The reason so many agents go with the traditional real estate agent is because of their training and perhaps quicker turnaround. If you put in the effort, you can earn income in as little as 30 days, while luxury real estate and property management take their time to get the business up and running. The downsides of this path are the amount of training, start-up, and hard work you’ll need to put in due to inexperience, and the mistakes you’ll make before you have a steady, steady income (whatever stable means to you). Agents typically earn 3% of the home sale amount. Example, 200K house, the commission would be 6K, let’s take the same split as before 80/20, the agent receives $4,800 X 1 a month X 12, the agent would earn $57,600 a year. Not bad. Please note that some, most, or most real estate companies charge a transaction fee, annual fee, etc.

Ultimately, the path to obtaining your Real Estate Licenses is entirely up to you. Keep in mind that whatever you decide will require hard work, countless hours of training, and possibly working on Saturdays and Sundays. All of these have their pros and cons. There is much more to each of these that I have outlined and you should do more research if you want a career in Real Estate.

Educational Technology

Educational technology is becoming more common in schools and this is a great thing. School officials, parents, principals, and teachers know that educational technology helps students learn more, learn faster, and become more organized learners. The limits are endless to what a student can learn by successfully integrating educational technology into their studies. If they are taught in school how to use the Internet and educational technology to enhance their education, they will be very successful in school. It is important for teachers to incorporate educational technology into the classroom not only because of the educational benefits that come from becoming familiar with using technology as an educational tool, but because students respond well to technology.

Kids are now more tech-driven than ever, their wish lists ranging from bikes, baseballs and basketball hoops to Nintendos, cell phones and laptops. Kids love technology and the endless entertainment opportunities it provides, so why not bring it into schools to keep kids excited and eager to learn? Technology helps a lot in organizing students, whether it’s on the computer, putting documents into different folders, creating organized and clearly written essays, or using any of Microsoft’s programs to improve their document skills, educational technology helps students children to be more organized. Because kids love technology and use it so often as a non-profit group, Netday wanted to write a survey for all school-age kids about technology and how it would impact their education. The survey was only supposed to last one day, it was called Speak Up Day, but due to the tremendous response they extended the survey to one week.

Officials weren’t surprised that kids loved the technology and would like to see more of it, they knew that when technology was introduced into classrooms in the past, it always caught students’ attention and interested them. It takes a lot more to get students focused and engaged in a classroom these days because of the myriad of technological distractions that might be going on, whether it’s texting on your cell phone, playing games on your cell phone, using handheld video game devices, listening to an iPod, or even other students doing any of these things cause distractions in the classroom and they don’t get as much as they should from the lesson being taught. By introducing educational technology, students will put away their handheld entertainment devices and be interested in learning and seeing what new technology devices can do.

In the survey, what surprised school officials and the nonprofit organization Netday, which organized the survey, was that students not only wanted more educational technology, but also were looking for ways to earn money so schools could equip their classrooms with more technology. This surprised school officials because students not only wanted the technology, but also wanted to help raise money by doing fundraisers to help financially equip their schools. This shows how important technology is to our students and kids, we need to start giving them incentives to raise money for technology and help schools become more technologically equipped.
