The Whys Behind the Blue Porch Ceiling | STIR by Sherwin-Williams

www.swstir.com

From the palest of powder blues to varying shades of aqua, teal, cobalt, robin’s-egg, periwinkle and gray, blue porch ceilings are popping up all across the country.

Tony just recently made my wish come true for a Haint Blue ceiling in our screened porch...and the funny thing is that as soon as he did that our luck changed dramatically! We're keeping those haints away! I always wondered if we'd be upsetting the dead when we built our house on the "Spring Lot" for the Ford Mansion where the Revolutionary War soldiers watered their horses...and who knows what this piece of Ford family land meant to the Indians way back when...or to the Ford family dearly departed...

Help Correct the Misinformation about the Federal Health Care Law

Help Correct the Misinformation about the Federal Health Care Law

In response to numerous e-mails concerning provisions of the new federal health care law stating that there is a new 3.8% federal realty transfer fee (RTF) on all home sales, NJAR® urges you to visit the Government Affairs website and NAR’s website for information regarding RUMORS that a national RTF was created as part of the federal health care law. These rumors are FALSE. An across-the-board RTF DOES NOT exist as part of this or any other law. As part of the federal health care law, a 3.8% Medicare tax was enacted on net investment incomes for certain households (for individuals earning over $200,000 per year and couples earning over $250,000 per year). Furthermore, the 3.8% tax DOES NOT apply to all capital gains from a home sale. Only if the gain from the sale is over $250,000 for individuals or $500,000 for couples does the 3.8% tax apply. If the amount made from the sale as a gain is less than $250,000 for individuals or $500,000 for couples, the 3.8% tax does not have to be paid. Lastly, the 3.8% tax, if these provisions are met, does not take effect until January 1, 2013.
