This
Week’s Meeting Schedule:
Preliminary
Notices and Mechanics Liens Every homeowner who embarks on a home remodeling
or building project looks forward to their dream home beginning to take
shape. They anticipate a flurry of activity at the beginning, first with
demolition followed by the arrival of materials and subcontractors ready
to work. Shortly thereafter, certified letters requiring
their signature arrive in the mail from suppliers and subcontractors. When
they anxiously open the letters to read the words “Preliminary Notice”
stating that someone is asserting lien rights against their property –
they panic! But they shouldn’t – at least not at this point. The
homeowner is simply being alerted to a commonly used legal instrument in
construction that ensures payment for services, labor and materials
provided for a home remodeling or building
project. [more HERE] ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you

An especially huge thank you to everyone who
helped organize the event, especially Kory Avarell and Annette Zuzio who

through their informative newsletters!

companies. [more HERE] ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Protecting
your physical assets Last week I talked about securing your computer
information, but today I want to mention a service I heard about to
protect your valuable documents. Of course you can open a safety deposit
box at your bank or trade contents with a trusted friend (hopefully FAR
away from your house), but this company will actually come to your home
and pick things up and offers storage space much larger than your typical
safe deposit box. Check out their website's FAQ for more
information. http://www.archivemanagement.com ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Hurricane
