It goes without saying that a home in good condition, well-kept, and visually appealing has a much higher chance of selling-both at a higher price and faster than one that needs some maintenance.Remember that first impressions always leave a lasting impression, and real estate is the perfect example of this.Naturally, this does not imply that in order to sell your house, you must start a significant remodelling project. There would be no assurances that you could even recover the costs of a project this size and scope.

Yes, you can love keeping-even cleaning-your home.Let's be real. Homemaking is harder than we thought it'd be. Others make it look easy, but we end the day exhausted with so much left to do. We feel unprepared. This book will shift your perspective on homemaking and guide you through six steps to competently and cheerfully manage your home. Our homes matter because people matter, and homes are where people are built. Being overwhelmed and paralyzed by perfectionism is optional. We can make progress. If you are a Christian woman who wants to honor God in the way you keep house, this book is for you, no matter how much clutter or chaos currently surrounds you.

Do you have any idea? To live an efficient life, we must first understand how we function (as well as how others think and behave). Although we share many characteristics with other people, each of us is unique. There would be no individuality or artistic flair among us if we were all the same. Even monkeys and other animals have distinct species, demonstrating diversity, and humanity will be dull as a result. We are both different and similar to one another.

Some essential equipment for a professional handyman's toolkit include the following:One of the most essential tools is probably a 16-ounce hammer. The hammer's weight can, however, change based on personal inclination. It would be even preferable to have one with a rubberized grip. ¿A saw is another essential handyman equipment because it can perform all necessary cutting tasks. Most tasks should be manageable using a cross-cut saw. To guarantee that it is easy to store in the kit, try to make the length and size lower. ¿A set of approximately six screwdrivers will be sufficient to tackle nearly any task. It would be wiser to search for ones with a rubberized grip in this case as well.¿Tape and a stapler are essential equipment for any pack. Despite their seeming simplicity, these gadgets can hold practically anything in place, either permanently or temporarily.¿A well-stocked drill bit set will make any handyman task much easier. Acquiring both an electric and a cordless drill will be perfect for the handyman who requires the versatility of both kinds.

Design and implement the rainwater harvesting system that is perfect for you.Did you know that in the United States alone, an estimated 345 billion gallons of water are used daily? This correlates to each American using about 80 to 100 gallons of water every single day.This shouldn't be surprising - we live in a world of consumerism, and unfortunately, this even correlates to how we use natural resources like electricity and water.And in today's economy, prices of everything are rising. But what are you supposed to do when your water bill keeps getting bigger and bigger? It's not like you can just go without water.In that same spirit of buy, buy, sell, sell, we buy bottled water from companies that are filled with chemicals. These plastic bottles are then dumped into our landfills and our oceans, doing nobody any good.But if these are the concerns, what is the answer, you ask? Rainwater harvesting (RWH).Rainwater harvesting has roots on every continent, being traced back to people like the Ancient Romans and Mesopotamians, and even Native Americans. Without this ancient technique, many of these groups wouldn't have been able to survive in the regions they lived in.There are many regions around the world now, even, that would not survive without harvesting rainwater.Take the Shivali village in India as an example, where children had to bring water with them to school. But now that they have begun harvesting rainwater in their schools, kids are able to stop worrying about having access to water and focus on what really matters: learning and socializing.If these villages can utilize rainwater harvesting to sustain them, you can surely implement a smaller-scale system for your home following the steps outlined in this guide.In this book, you will discover:A detailed look into the origins of rainwater harvesting and why experts say it hasn't yet reached its peakThe different uses for harvested rainwater that go beyond simply watering your garden (though that is a great use by itself!)Stories of RWH from around the world to get you excited and inspiredThe 8 principles of rainwater harvesting and how they align with other sustainability practicesA look at earthworks and landforms and how to use them in your rainwater harvestingThe legalities of RWH so you don't break any laws in this new journeyHow to troubleshoot common RWH issues so you don't give up before you've really even begunEverything you need to know about maintaining your RWH system, including a maintenance scheduleHow to purify your water to keep it safe for every member of your familyStep-by-step guides on how to install multiple types of RWH systems so you can choose the perfect one for your needsAnd much more.Say goodbye to water woes once and for all. Whether you live on a homestead or in an urban setting, you can begin living a more sustainable life and rely less on outside sources of water starting with the next rainfall.So, what are you waiting for?

For The Influence Issue, Kinfolk is exploring the powerful currents that shape our world and sway our decisions: power, money, politics—and other people. We meet Anna Sorokin, who, under her alias, Anna Delvey, manipulated a remarkable sum of money out of Manhattan’s elite. We also catch up with Kaitlin Phillips, the indie publicist whose job is to manufacture influence for her creative clients, and speak to fashion model Dennis Okwera, who, having escaped the brutality of the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda as a child, has since returned to spearhead a philanthropic foundation to uplift his community. Elsewhere, we discuss the upcoming presidential election with Waleed Shahid, a senior political strategist behind campaigns for Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and treat Karl Lagerfeld’s beloved cat, muse and heiress Choupette to a stylish summer vacation. The rest of the issue returns to classic Kinfolk coverage, including interviews with influential chef Alison Roman, the French rabbi Delphine Horvilleur, opera singer Jeanine de Bique and photographer Sven Marquardt (who happens to be a doorman at Berlin’s notorious Berghain).
