How to backup your files - online - very cool!

I just recently signed up for an online pc file backup tool. It is called Carbonite. I know my pc will crash one day, so I am preparing.

This software will back up all new and changed files in the background everyday. It does not backup system type and program files. You can download the files to any pc with internet connection. All files are encrypted when backed up or downloaded.

It will assign a yellow dot by the file or folder letting you know backup is in progress, a green dot lets you know it is backed up already.

So bottom line, if your not backing up files, you may want to rethink, it cost $55 per year.

Buyers - Time is ticking - reminder about the $8,000 tax credit

Remember, the $8,000 tax credit expires Dec 1, 2009. If you have not closed on a home by then, the tax credit will not be available.

If your able to buy, get out there and start looking, interest rates are great. You need to have at least 600 credit score for FHA and VA loans. I have several great lenders that I recommend if you want to start the home lending process. There are several programs out there. You may be able to use the $8,000 tax credit as down payment if you do not have enough down payment upfront. Just email or call me for those lender contacts.

In order to get the tax credit, you or your spouse cannot have owned a home within the past 3 years of the closing on the home you purchase this year. You must live in the new home you purchase this year for at least 3 years or have to return the tax credit.

If you need a storage building moved, here is the person to do that job.

This guy will travel all over the Piedmont Triad area and beyond.

I have used him twice so far and he is very good at what he does.

My building is 14 x 10 and he had no problem loading and unloading. He is professional and insured.

The truck he uses is perfect for storage building unloading and unloading, it is a hydraulic flat bed with short nose front that allows him to manuever in very tight places. Once he unloads the building, he make sures it is level.

Home Depot uses him alot to deliver storage buildings. I have compared his prices to others in the area, he beats them all. Great service and very reasonable.

So you or someone has a storage building that needs to be moved, call this guy! His name is Larry Owensby at 336-442-5038
