Many buyers expect that the inspector will also provide estimates for repairs, but most simply won’t. As neutral parties that are meant to offer a professional opinion about building codes and safety compliance, inspectors aren’t to be confused with general contractors who make a living by fixing all the outdated or damaged items on the list. Because of possible conflicts of interest or just the fluctuations in labor costs, few inspectors will talk numbers....

1. Use Floral Preservatives Many store-bought bouquets come with a small packet of flower food to mix into the water. If you’re cutting tulips from your own garden, you can find larger containers or packs of flower food packets online or at garden centers. Follow the instructions on the packet and your blooms should last longer than flowers kept in plain water. Sometimes, you’ll hear that adding citrus soda or a spoonful of sugar will keep your flowers fresh, but none of them work quite as well as flower food....

For example, ‘Apple Blossom’ has lime green throats, and white blooms brushed with watercolor pink. Red ‘Stargazer’ flowers have snowy-white stars on their petals....

1. Size Up the Growing Space The size of the planting area is critical when choosing a tree. To begin, what is the width of the space where you would like to plant your tree? Is the planting spot near a building, fence, or other large plants? If so, measure out how much room there is for a tree to fill without its growth being restricted. Next, take a look at the height potential for the location....

Maximize Your Mudroom A few wall storage solutions can easily turn your mudroom or entryway space into a hardworking family command center. Hang a large bulletin board on a wall near the door to store your calendar, artwork, and reminders in plain sight. Wall-mounted wire baskets with labels keep important papers at eye-level, while a clock helps family members stay on schedule. Put Small Walls to Work Small walls that might otherwise serve a minimal purpose are ideal spots for creating a family command center....

One of the best ways to order any of these drinks is to do it on the app so you could make your customizations and pick it up in-store or through the drive-thru. (If you do it this way, you’ll minimize contact.) If you decide to order in person, you should describe the drink by the recipe, instead of the name. Although some of these options are so popular, the barista will know what you’re talking about, but that isn’t necessarily the case for all of them....
