Water Softener Questions? GMX Has Your Answers!

By Robin Martinez©
If you’ve ever considered a
water softener system for your
home, you’ve no doubt had
questions. What are the benefits
of water softening or condition-
ing? What types of systems are
available and which one is best
for my situation? What are the
costs associated with installation
and maintenance of the various
types of system?
Larry Brown of GMX
International has heard each of
these questions and many more.
Here are some of the questions
he hears most often.

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21 to April
19) You might have to deal with
problems that are no fault of
your own. Show how quickly
you can resolve them.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) You untangle a situation that
seems hopelessly snarled. You’ll
be surprised who will express
gratitude.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) Although you can tackle
your assignment the way you
prefer, it might be good to ask
for suggestions. One or two
might be helpful.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Make changes in proposals
before you submit them to your
colleagues. You’ll come off
looking more decisive that way.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
You might feel a mite intimidat-
ed in a new environment. But
enter with a big smile.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) This could be a
romantic time for you if you can
set aside your cynicism. If
you’re in a relationship, expect
your partner to be extra-loving.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) It’s a good time to
shed any doubts about your abil-
ities. You’ve proven yourself in
the past.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Your suspicions
might be on the mark. Exercise
discretion and let events unfold
without your assistance.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21) Avoid
overeating, drinking too much
or working too hard. You can do
it all, but in moderation.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) You have the
gift for bringing quarrelsome
kinfolk together. But don’t neg-
lect your career obligations.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 18) Someone of
importance disagrees with your
plan to achieve goals. Defend
your methods with logic.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Consider getting
away, perhaps for the weekend.
You’ll return refreshed and
ready to tackle it all.

Magnificent Molding Adds Style

Add Instant Drama and Dimension to Your Home with Wood
By Chandra Orr©
Ready for a home makeover?
A little bit of molding can
change the entire look of a room
without breaking the bank.
Adding molding to your
space adds drama and dimen-
sion — and it’s a project that
many people can do on their
own in a weekend.
Think of molding as the icing
on the cake. Around doors, fire-
places and windows, this little
plank adds a lot of pizzazz.
Moldings make a room. If
you have two rooms side by side
and one room has crown mold-
ing, large window casings and
baseboards, that room gets all of
the attention. It’s warmer and
richer.
Choose the right location,
pick the right finish and be

start. Such areas are small
enough to tackle in a weekend
yet see enough traffic to justify
the expense. The foyer sets the
tone for the rest of the home and
should be the first space to con-
sider. It’s the space that wel-
comes visitors and is the first
impression that your guests will
have.
For a bigger bang for your
buck, focus efforts on the dining
room and family room. These
are the areas we want to show
off to our friends and family.
They are the most dramatic
rooms of the home — the rooms
that can make a difference when
it comes time to sell.
Pay particular attention to
fireplaces, bay windows, grand
staircases and other architectural
focal points — and don’t forget
the ceiling.
It all starts with a great plan
and top-quality materials.
Molding comes in a range of
styles and materials. From clas-
sic red oak and pine to rich red-
wood and cedar, in design and
finish, the sky’s the limit.

Tips for Choosing a Contractor

Questions to Ask as You Hire a Company for Your Home Improvement Project
By Ginny Frizzi©
Most homeowners, at one
time or another, require the serv-
ices of a contractor. If a job
involves replacing an old roof,
building an addition, fixing the
porch or rewiring the house, a
contractor most likely should be
hired.
So how does the average
homeowner find a reputable
contractor?
The first step is to define the
scope of the job to be done. This
means the same information
will be shared with all contrac-
tors bidding on the job.
Check with friends, neigh-
bors, relatives and co-workers to
see whether they have any rec-
ommendations. Visit the Better
