Deliveries.

Amazon is already testing the market for drone deliveries in Los Angeles with packages up to five pounds. Drones have revolutionized the way deliveries are made, allowing for quick and efficient transportation of packages to even the most remote locations. Companies such as Amazon and Google have begun implementing drone delivery systems, which use autonomous aircraft to deliver packages directly to customers’ homes. These systems are not only faster than traditional delivery methods, but they also have the potential to reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions.

Agriculture.

Drones monitor the health and condition of crops. Not only can they detect weeds and growth rates, but can be used to apply pesticides and fertilizers. In the agriculture industry, drones are being used to monitor crops and assess their health. By using cameras and sensors, drones can capture high-resolution images and data of fields, which can then be analyzed to detect early signs of pests or diseases. This allows farmers to address issues before they become major problems, leading to increased crop yields and reduced costs.

Emergencies.

Providing aerial pictures of an accident area to helping analyze a large fire for fire fighters, drones help to keep emergency personnel out of danger. As the use of drones continues to grow, it is important to ensure that they are being used safely and responsibly. Governments around the world are implementing regulations and guidelines to ensure the safe operation of drones, including requirements for operator training and certification, as well as restrictions on where drones can be flown. By following these guidelines, we can continue to harness the potential of drones while minimizing the risk of accidents or incidents.

Insurance.

Insurance claims and inspections. A hail storm damaged your roof. No problem. A drone can be quickly and easily sent to inspect the damage and speed claims along. Insurance companies are utilizing drones to quickly and accurately assess damage from natural disasters or accidents. By using drones to inspect roofs, bridges, and other structures, insurance adjusters can gather important information and make faster claims decisions.

Photos and Videos.

The aforementioned real estate videos and photos are current examples. Advertising commercial properties and terrain like resorts or hunting property is a plus. Drones are also being used to capture photos and videos from angles and heights that would be otherwise impossible to achieve. From wedding photography to real estate marketing, drones are providing a new perspective and adding a level of creativity to these industries.

Humanitarian.

War-torn countries or countries experiencing famine can receive life-saving medicines and food by drones. In addition to their use in deliveries, agriculture, and photography, drones are also being used in emergency situations. For example, drones can be equipped with thermal cameras to search for people in disaster-stricken areas or to locate lost hikers in remote locations. Drones can also be used to deliver medical supplies or equipment to hard-to-reach areas in times of crisis.

Begin with some easy DIY steps to improve the air quality in your home.

No Smoking. If there’s a smoker in the family, designate an outdoor smoking area. Keeping smoke out of the house is essential.

Control the moisture. Air conditioning and a clean furnace filter is the best approach. Add a dehumidifier in problem damp areas to ensure against mold and mites.

Reduce cleaning toxins. Pay attention to the products you use in your home, from cleaning supplies to paint and repair products. Using natural cleaning solutions rather than stronger, more toxic ones, will maintain a healthy air quality without adding to the problem you are trying to improve.

Vacuum frequently. Using a vacuum with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter is an effective way to curb the dust mites, pollen, and animal dander.

Ventilate properly. The most important two area are the bathroom and the cooktop in the kitchen. Both of these areas create perfect environments for unsafe air quality. Venting and extracting cooking fumes and moisture laden air reduces the chances of buildup.

Say welcome with a wreath on the door.
A simple lush wreath on the door is enough of a welcome. A blow-up Santa using a noisy air compressor on the lawn should stay in storage.

One tree is enough.
Find the perfect spot to display a tree and keep the size balanced with the area. Simple small lights and generic ornaments are much better than a themed tree that pay homage to an interest or experience your family has.

Decorate the mantle.
If you have a fireplace, a simple garland with ornaments or hanging stockings will be just right. Put the pictures of pets with Santa Paws up, but put the string of Christmas cards received away during showings. Keep it simple and uncluttered so the potential buyers and see the mantle.

Smell the cookies.
Baking a pan of cookies using a tube of ready-made dough, 30 minutes before a showing, will fill the house with cheer and hide minor smells that may turn buyers off.

Hear the songs.
Playing Christmas carols on LOW VOLUME in the kitchen or living room of your home will complete the simple but effective holiday staging.

Keep it simple for showings during the holidays to find a buyer who simply can’t resist.

Paint the front door. It adds to curb appeal, first-impressions and is a welcome to your guests. Use a new color that is subtle and blends with the style and color of your home, or just keep the existing color fress and the door in good repair. Ask the professionals at your local paint store for help if you are choosing a new color.

Change hardware. Changing out the hardware in your home can have a big impact on the feeling. You can do a lot or a little. The biggest impact is changing cupboard door pulls in your kitchen and/or bathrooms. Be sure to measure and count the size and number of pulls you need before shopping. There are a lot of choices, so bring several styles home in small amounts, before buying the whole number needed.

Paint a room. A fresh coat of paint is not only a cost-effective way to update the look of a room, but it also provides a fresh, clean feel and smell. Try a new color, or simply refresh the existing color. Either way, painting a room will maintain the market value of the home.

Light Fixtures. Often overlooked, replacing outdated light fixtures can make a huge statement. During the holidays when you may have family and guests around your table, changin out a dining room chandelier or fixture can easily transform and update the room. Use an online guide for sizing and hanging advice to be sure your choice is the correct aspect and provides enough light for the room.

Change light switch covers. Dirty or borken light and plug-in switch covers are easy and inexpensive to change. As with the hardware, the choices are plentiful from decoratives ones to simple plastice new and clean ones.
