A new home means the start of a new life.

Whether you’re designing and building a custom home or buying a home that’s built on spec in a new subdivision, you’ll only have to work with the builder.As with buying a previously-owned home, you have to figure out your budget and secure financing before you even begin house hunting.

And don’t overlook the extras like property taxes, insurance, furniture, window treatments, landscaping costs and maintenance that can drain your bank account.“It’s absolutely critical for new homeowners to know what they can afford based on their income, debt and credit score,” says Rosy Messina, vice president of sales and marketing for ICI Homes in Daytona Beach, Fla.If you’re considering buying a newly-constructed home, follow these five steps to guide you through the process:Step 1: Weigh the Pros and Cons

Are you trying to deal with the memories-filled home of a deceased loved one? Or are you finally giving your home a big clean out or doing some major renovations? Maybe you’re postponing the job because you just don’t know what to do with all your old belongings, or with that mountain of stuff that Auntie Jane accumulated over all those years.
Either way, stop feeling discouraged and gear up for action! Just one telephone call to a junk removal company or a dumpster rental service will solve your problems.
Residential junk removal
There are full-service, residential junk removal companies out there. It’s all very simple: one phone call and a date will allow for a team to come to your home, business, or worksite and remove all your bulky garbage.
Unwanted objects and debris will disappear like magic without you even having to lift a finger, making room for new materials, furniture, kitchen appliances, desks, computers, mattresses, and the like. You don’t have to exhaust yourself by lifting and carrying all your old junk! Your junk removal problems are a thing of the past.
One dumpster and it’s over!
You may also choose to rent a dumpster if the big cleanup or renovations will be spread out over a period of time, or when lots of debris will be created, or for all sorts of other reasons.
That way, you can gradually throw out objects and debris into the dumpster delivered to your home, or to your place of business. Then, once the project is completed, the junk removal service will send a truck to take away the jam-packed dumpster.
These companies can provide dumpsters of every imaginable size, ranging from mini-containers to extra large dumpsters in order to meet the needs of every type of project. You’ll soon realize that having a dumpster on-site is a much simpler, faster, and efficient solution than taking multiple trips to the waste disposal site with a trailer borrowed from the neighbours!
Think of the environment
When choosing your junk removal company or dumpster rental service, be sure to ask about the methods used by these companies to dispose of all the old belongings and unwanted building debris.
Some of them are committed to giving away your old objects that are still useful, to recycling items and materials if possible, or disposing of them in a responsible manner. For a growing number of consumers, this willingness to recycle junk instead of sending it directly to the landfill is a big selling point.
Since it gets dark so much earlier in the winter, you might be lacking in daylight hours during your move. To take the most advantage of the daytime hours, get started with packing early in the day so that you can call it a night fairly early, before it gets too dark. This will allow you to stay safer, since you won’t have to worry about taking loads outside when it’s slippery and dark. Plus, the temperatures are sure to be more comfortable during the daytime hours as well.

That is why so many people end up accumulating junk on their property- most of us are not able to devote the necessary resources to such a mundane project.
