Cudddle Up by the fire!
Nothing is better then snuggling up close to a loved one in front of a fire on a cold winter night but, at the same time ensuring that you enjoy years of warmth and comfort from your fireplace requires regular maintenance and safety practices. Before you light up your fireplace keep these tips in mind.
1) Have your chimney inspected annually and professionally cleaned.
2) Keep the area around the fireplace free and clear of any flammable objects and use a firplace screen.
3) Keep your children and pets away from the fireplace and of course never leave unattended.
4) Install both a carbon monoxide detector and smoke alarm in your home. Check the batteries regularly.
5) Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
6) Install a guard on top of your chimney to prevent animals and debris from getting in and blocking it.

What Is PMI?
When you buy a house, you may motice a monthly charge incorporated into your mortgage payment listed as PMI.
If you can not afford to make a 20 percent down payment, PMI, or private mortgage insurance protects your lender from loss is case of default. Private mortgage insurance will allow you to make a down payment significantly lower than the standard 20 percent, while still obtaining tradirional financing.
Depending on your loan, you should be able to cancel your PMI coverage after septic guidlines have been met. These guidelines may include having made no late payments and having built at least 20 percent equity.
Equity can be built quickly if your property value increases or if you make extra payments toward yourloan principal. To cancel PMI, you will need to contact your lender. Canceling PMI often requires having your home's loan to value ratio verified through a formal property appraisal.
