DID Bertie Wooster mean to harm Barbara Geltosky in September 2008? The evidence against him is damning. For instance, the hole that Bertie, Ms. Geltosky’s 5-year-old Norwegian elkhound, dug in the garden was 12 inches across and 12 inches deep — the perfect size for a human foot.

“It was a hole I didn’t see,” said Ms. Geltosky, 59, a retired art teacher who lives with her husband in Malvern, Pa., some 20 miles west of Philadelphia. “I was getting compost when I went down. I twisted my knee badly enough to have rehab.” (more…)

If you look strictly at the numbers, most remodeling done in a home should be for personal enjoyment, because you’re not likely to make all of your money back when you sell the property. The boost in value from improvements varies; anything electrical you do, like updating the wiring or adding a cost-efficient cooling system, can increase your home’s value substantially, and will be reflected in your appraisal, while cosmetic improvements may not affect the value that much.

If your home is on the market, this is one of the surest ways to leave potential buyers with a good impression and decrease the amount of time it is on the market. Because it is a relatively inexpensive project, painting nearly always pays off. (more…)
