Until they don't,\"Williams explained.\"But, especially for Miller, hehas a girlfriend at the start of themovie, but he knows he's inlove with Mckenna's character,Clara. And, so, he does the rightthing,\" she added. \"He doeswhat you're supposed to do.And then we see in parallelwhat happened with mycharacter and Dave Franco'scharacter, where people weren'tas brave, I would say, and asemotionally honest with eachother. So, I think things havegotten better with the youngergeneration.\"Despite the fact the movie is anexploration of grief and loss,there are also numerousmoments of levity that add to itsauthenticity.Williams said many of the jokeswere made on the fly by anenthusiastic cast.\"There was a lot of ad-libbing. Idid a lot of it. I'm verycomfortable doing it because onGirls, we did a lot ofimprovisation to try to get intoscenes. And that's also my onlytraining,\" she noted.\"So, anytime I have anopportunity to ad-lib orimprovise, I'm very happy,\" sheadded. \"I was lucky enough tobe with a bunch of other actorswho are very good at it... Thewhole set just felt reallyharmonious and like everyonewas on the same page. Whenthat happens, it makes all of itmuch, much easier. We were alljust super-close, rowing in thesame direction.\"The actress credited directorJosh Boone (The Fault in OurStars, The New Mutants) forcreating a positive atmosphereon the production.\"Josh Boone did a spectacularjob of setting the tone, settingthe stage for what the scenecalled for, so everyone was inthe same tonal landscape, whichis not as easy as it sounds whenyou have characters withdifferent senses of humor anddifferent things to be feeling inany given scene,\" she said.\"That just shows the steadyhand of a director.\"Susan McMartin's script alsodid an excellent job of reimagining for the screen a talethat captivated so many readers,according to Williams.\"For the most part, we werereally loyal to the storytelling,to the character developmentfrom the book. It's just filling inthe gaps that you get to do whenyou're adapting something to avisual medium,\" she said.\"That's where we maybe had tocome up with some stuff or toembellish some things that werein the book, but we did ourbest,\" Williams added. \"There'sa reason the book was so loved,and we did our best to bring thethings that people loved ontothe screen.\"The film co-stars Sam Morelosand Clancy Brown.By Karen ButlerMckenna Grace, Allison Williams, and WillaFitzgerald attend the “Regretting You”premiere in Los AngelesBorn Allison Howell WilliamsApril 13, 1988 (age 38)New Canaan, ConnecticutShe’s the daughter of journalist BrianWilliams — the former NBC news anchor.She graduated from Yale University in 2010with a degree in English.While at Yale, she was part of the improvtroupe “Just Add Water” — her improvexperience helped her later acting career.Her breakout role came as Marnie Michaelson the HBO series Girls (2012–2017).Before “Girls,” she gained early exposurewith a viral YouTube video — she performeda mashup of “Nature Boy” to the theme songof Mad Men. That helped get her noticed.As a child, she wrote a letter to author R.L. Stine when she was 8 — and got aresponse back 18 years later (when she was 26).Her childhood dream was to play Peter Pan — a dream she eventually realizedwhen she starred in Peter Pan Live! in 2014.Despite her polished on-screen image, she says she can’t cook — she jokes thatshe’d have to buy ingredients before she could even boil water.She’s left-handed (and says she tends tobump into things a lot because of it).In 2022, she starred in the horror/sci-fi filmM3GAN — a big shift from her earlier TVwork; the movie (and her role) became amajor talking point.Despite fame and public spotlight, she seemsto value authenticity and grounding — invarious interviews she’s acknowledgedprivilege (family background, education) and spoken about navigating career withself-awareness and humility.Cover Story_9x.qxp_COVER STORY 12/9/25 2:58 PM Page 1

Too much Powerade causes constipation.A: Green. Powerade's blue and purple dyes combine with the natural yellowgreen bile in the intestines. And because consuming a lot of Powerade can actas a mild laxative, speeding through the intestinal tract, bile doesn't have enoughtime to break it down to the usual brown color. The color change is deemedharmless, but if persistent or accompanied by other symptoms like recurringdiarrhea and stomach pain, consult a physician.

Page 6 HAPPENINGS December 11, 2025 www.hap2it.com@Brace yourself for an unforgettable nightof laughs as Stand Up Throw Down presents Millennials vs. Gen X at theKenosha Comedy Club on December19th. This comedy event will feature alineup of four comedians bringing theirunique perspective and humor from bothgenerational camps. It is then up to theaudience to vote which generation theyfound funnier. The show is hosted by ToddGlover, a stand-up comedian who originally produced the show for The SecondCity in Chicago.Q: Where did you first get the idea forthis show?A: I saw a lot of themed shows and Ithought it would be fun to look at the differences between how Millennials vs GenX view the world. I think the two generations are very close in age but grew upvery differently and therefore have different senses of humor. Q: Which comedians are coming to perform in Kenosha for this show?A: I am really excited for this bunch ofChicago comedians! Lindsay Porter toursthe country with Bad Momz of Comedyand has performed in every major comedyvenue in Chicago. Joe Killgallon hasopened for Hannibal Buress and SteveByrne and has released three albums thathave all debuted #1 on iTunes. JohnMcCombs is a 13-year veteran of comedyand a four-year veteran of the MarineCorps. He’s performed in 15 differentcountries and has opened for MichelleWolf and Tim Meadows. Q: How is the show set up?A: The format is very simple. We havefour comics who all do a set one at a timeto highlight their style of comedy andhumor. At the end of the show I bringeveryone back on stage and the audiencevotes for which generation they liked better. Q: You produce and promote a varietyof shows for comedy venues across theMidwest, what does your process looklike when you decide to produce a showyourself (versus just performing)? A: When I produce a show, I am a nervouswreck. I have to worry about not onlyhosting and performing myself, but aboutthe other comics as well. When I ambooked myself, I just show up and do myact, meaning I can actually concentrate.Q: What is your favorite part abouthosting this show?A: I love getting the show rolling and setting the pace. If the show starts out on ahigh note, then that momentum will buildas each comic performs. I also love to seethe audience’s reactions to the comics Ihave chosen for them to see.

Alas forBears fans, the result was the same as in 52 ofthe last 66 games, a Packers victory. The Bearswere 9-3 and on top of the NFC North beforethe Dec. 7 game. The Packers' 28-21 victoryputs them at 9-3-1 and they are now on top ofthe division. But another chance is comingsoon. On Saturday, December 20th, the twowill meet again, this time in Chicago for a7:20pm start. There have been few periodswhen the Packers-Bears rivalry was balanced.At the very beginning, from 1924, the Bearsstarted 7-1-3. Then the Packers exploded for10-2-1. Then back to the Bears at 9-4, and,from 1939 to 1960, 32-9-2. But since BrettFavre came on, the Packers have been dominat— since 1993, the Packers lead 52-14 and nowlead the series 109-96-6.Oldest Rivalry in the NFLThe Packers and Bears first met on November 27,1921, making it the NFL’s longest-runningcontinuous rivalryThey’ve played more than 210 timesAs of today, the matchup has surpassed 210games, the most between any two NFL teamsThe first NFL bench clearing brawlIn 1924, a Bears player punched a Packers player,and the benches cleared—now famous for thefirst-ever player ejections in NFL history forfightingCurly Lambeau and George Halas were bitter competitorsThe founders of each franchise were friends offthe field but relentless rivals on it. They shapedthe rivalry's intensityThe 1930’s see intense “spying”accusations from both teamsBefore television, some teams would send outspies to watch over team practices and gatherinformationSounds like a hockey scoreOn October 16, 1932, at Wrigley Field, the Bearsbeat the Packers 2–0, to typo, yes, 2-0They once played indoors because of snowA 1932 game was moved inside Chicago Stadiumdue to blizzard conditions—an extremely rareNFL occurrence.The Bears helped keep the Packers aliveIn 1956, the Packers were in financial trouble—Bears owner George Halas publicly endorsed anew stadium (now Lambeau Field), recognizingthe historic rivalry and helping save the franchiseDespite the rivalry, the franchises deeplyrespect each otherBoth are cornerstone NFL teams, with passionatefanbases and historic stadiums (Lambeau Fieldand Soldier Field) that represent the league’sroots.Kenosha is a a hot spot for this long time rivalryBeing on the Illinois border and closer to SoldierField than Lambeau while still being in Wisconsin,our hometown is a prime spot where thePackers/Bears rivalry flourishes, so much thatthis magazine is not taking sides.

Page 14 HAPPENINGS December 11, 2025 www.hap2it.comGetting close to one of the bigicons of Western civilization – theAcropolis, the Palace of Versailles,the Colosseum – can be the spinetingling high point of a Europeantrip. But don’t paper over Europe’s“smaller” achievements. Many ofEurope’s lasting culturalcontributions are captured ondusty sheets of vellum orparchment, and paging through theContinent’s literary treasures canraise a few goosebumps of theirown. Here are some of Europe’sbest cities and sights forbookworm travelers.LONDON, ENGLAND: The vastBritish Library has managed tocram everything that really mattersinto a two-room exhibition called“The Treasures.” Early Bibles, aFirst Folio of Shakespeare'sworks, Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’sAdventures in Wonderland,” theMagna Carta, and multiple earlyJane Austen manuscripts vie foryour attention. Fans can pay their respects toBritain’s literary masters in thePoets' Corner at WestminsterAbbey. Geoffrey Chaucer was thefirst literary great to be buried here(in 1400), and those interrednearby include Charles Dickens,Robert Browning, Thomas Hardy,and Edmund Spenser.PRAGUE, CZECHREPUBLIC: Given theirimaginative, sometimes fancifulculture, it’s no surprise that theCzechs have produced somefamously clever writers. Praguenative Franz Kafka wrote hisrenowned “Metamorphosis”(elevator pitch: man wakes up ascockroach) in an Old Townapartment overlooking the VltavaRiver. That building was destroyedin 1945, but fans today can visitthe good Franz Kafka Museumand Society Center.Ironically, until recently, manyCzechs weren’t too familiar withKafka, a Jew who wrote inGerman. During World War II, hiswritings were banned whenGermans occupied the city and,after the war, his work was caughtup in a wave of anti-Germanfeeling. The ensuing Communistregime had little use for him either.Locals began to take him moreseriously after the VelvetRevolution of 1989, when touristsfrom around the world startedshowing up wearing Kafka Tshirts.EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND:The lives and literature ofScotland's holy trinity – RobertBurns, Sir Walter Scott, andRobert Louis Stevenson – are thefocus of Edinburgh’s invitingWriters Museum. Burns wasScotland's bard, extolling hisnative land in poetry. Stevensonstirred the Scottish soul withevocative classics like“Kidnapped” and “TreasureIsland.” Scott – who wrote thehistorical novels “Ivanhoe” and“Rob Roy” – revived hiscountrymen's pride in Highlandculture and the Gaelic language.With exhibits mingling firsteditions with personal artifactslike Scott’s pipe and Burns'writing desk, the museum gives anintimate view of the masters.PARIS, FRANCE: The Europeanlove affair with books ischarmingly demonstrated in thegreen metal bookstalls that line theLeft Bank of the Seine River.Second-hand booksellers, called“bouquinistes,” have been aParisian fixture since the mid1500s, when such shops and stallslined most of the bridges in Paris.(Business boomed after theRevolution, when entire librarieswere \"liberated\" from rich nobles.)Another writers’ landmark is theShakespeare and Companybookstore. Founded in 1919 byfree-thinking American SylviaBeach, the original shop on Rue del’Odeon was a meeting place forParis’ expatriate literary elite.Ernest Hemingway regularlyborrowed books from the store.When James Joyce struggled tofind a publisher for his nowclassic “Ulysses,” Beachpublished it. While the Nazis shutthe shop down in 1941, its postwar incarnation near the banks ofthe Seine carries on Beach’stradition by supporting strugglingwriters.DUBLIN, IRELAND: Of all theplaces I've traveled in Europe,Ireland excels in literary passion.Around the turn of the 20thcentury, Dublin produced some ofthe world's great writers. OscarWilde wowed Britain with hisquick wit and clever satires ofupper-class Victorian society.William Butler Yeats won a NobelPrize for his Irish-themed poemsand plays. Most inventive of all,perhaps, was James Joyce, whocaptured literary lightning in abottle when he profiled Dublin’sseedier side in his stream-ofconsciousness \"Ulysses.\"The Museum of Literature Irelandis the place to view authorial brica-brac. But to experience the Irishgift of gab in its highest form, treatyourself to a night out at the AbbeyTheatre. Founded by Yeats tobring to the stage the “deeperemotions of Ireland,” the theaterhas been promoting Irish writersand artists for more than a hundredyears.By Rick StevesIn Paris, “bouquinistes” sell used books and memorabilia from green metal stalls that line the Left Bank of the Seine River.Europe by the bookSouthwest Airlines willnot have to pay the final$11 million portion of arecord civil penalty tiedto its 2022 holidaymeltdown, the U.S.Department of Transportation announced.Officials in 2023 hadfined Southwest some$140 million for\"numerous violations ofconsumer protectionlaws\" when operationsfailures led to 16,900cancelled flights duringthe 2022 Christmasholiday season.Included in that penaltywas $35 million that theairline was ordered topay in three installmentsto the U.S. TreasuryDepartment.

TheMyrtle Beach man told officials hewas out with a friend on the dayafter his birthday when he decidedto treat himself to a scratch-offticket. The $10 My Money Makerticket turned out to be a $500,000winner. The belated birthdaywinner said he is mulling over hisoptions for the prize money.Time of daycrucial forcancerimmunotherapytreatmentsCancer survival might depend onwhat time of day you get yourtreatment, a new study says. Lungcancer patients who received IVimmunotherapy doses earlier inthe day tended to live longer,researchers wrote in a studypublished in the journal Cancer.Getting immunotherapy drugsbefore 3 p.m. was associated witha 52% lower risk of cancerprogression and a 63% lower riskof death, the study found. Thiscould be an inexpensive way toextend survival for cancer patients.For the new study, researcherstracked nearly 400 people withadvanced small cell lung cancerwho'd been prescribed theimmunotherapy drugsatezolizumab or durvalumabalongside standard chemotherapy.The patients were treated betweenMay 2019 and October 2023.Both immunotherapy drugs workby blocking cancer cells' ability toevade detection by the immunesystem, according to Drugs.com.Results showed that people whogot these IV meds before 3 p.m.experienced significantly longerremission before their cancer againbegan to spread. They also hadsignificantly better survival. Theeffect is likely due to people'scircadian rhythms -- the internalclock that affects different bodyprocesses, including immunereactions, researchers said.However, more research is neededto understand the effect ofcircadian rhythms on cancertherapies and how to best leveragea person's internal clock tomaximize treatment benefits,researchers concluded.Black bearjoins holidayparadeSpectators at aChristmas parade inTennessee weretreated to a surprisescene when a blackbear wandered intothe road and walkedalong the paraderoute. Amanda Snook-Paigecaptured photos showing the bearwalking down the route ofGatlinburg's 50th annual Fantasyof Lights Christmas Parade. It wasunclear how much of the route thebear walked, but another witnesscaptured video of a bruin that mayhave been the same animalfeasting on trash after the parade.Snook-Paige joked on socialmedia that the bear was such a hitwith spectators that organizers\"should've made him the grandmarshal\" of the parade.Mars orMinneapolis?The end of November deliveredthe coldest weather in months tothe north-central United States,and in Minneapolis, it was brieflycolder than it was on Mars. OnThanksgiving Day, Minneapolisreached only 27 degrees, followedby several days stuck in the mid- toupper 20s, about 10 degrees belowthe historical average. Meanwhile,225 million miles away on Mars,NASA's Curiosity rover measureddaytime highs around 30 degrees -- just warm enough to edge outMinneapolis during the sameperiod. The comparison took adramatic turn after sunset.Curiosity recorded overnight lowsnear 100 degrees below zero. Thetemperature swings on Mars occurbecause of its thin atmosphere andthe lack of meaningful watervapor, both of which allow heat toescape rapidly once the sun sets.Curiosity has been trackingMartian weather since landing in2012, using onboard instrumentsto monitor temperature, wind andpressure.

She loves her [adopted]kids desperately andferociously. I think she isinsecure as a mother, becausethey're not hers. So, there's nokind of unspoken connectionthere. It's all learned,\" Headeysaid.\"Constance knows that that is avery weak spot for Fiona, so shevery kindly points that outoccasionally.\"Anderson said she doesn't thinkmotherhood comes naturally toConstance.\"Her big love has always beenher late husband and they had adream together and she isdetermined to follow thatthrough to the end,\" Andersonsaid.\"She loves her children. Whenone of them goes missing, Ithink, obviously, she is inmourning because of that,\" sheadded. \"But an equal struggleand fight for her is getting whatit is that she wants in fulfillingthis dream that she and her latehusband had. So, sometimes Ifeel like it's hard to tell which ismore important to her or whichis driving her.\"Headey, who is British, studiedwith a dialect coach to perfecther Irish brogue, and her hair,makeup and costume teamswere essential in helping her getinto the mind and body of awoman who worked all day toprovide for her family.\"Fiona is kind of of the Earth.She's sort of in the dirt. There'sno awareness of looking acertain way or being in someway and there's a sort offreedom to Fiona with that,\"Headey said. \"She's kind ofready to defend at any point.\"Even though Constance iswealthy, she is not weak,Anderson pointed out.\"She's not a dainty or protectedwoman,\" she said.\"She is willing to to get herhands dirty. She is, sturdy is theright word, I think. Sheabsolutely is of the Earth. Shedoesn't feel like she's of the airand, so, I guess I was plantingmyself in that. In terms of voice,that stems from it as well,maybe in how she talks, in theparticular American that shespeaks.\"Diehard Sons of Anarchy fanswill likely recognize at least onevery important name and severalfamiliar faces when they watchThe Abandons.Although neither of its leadingladies had watched the othershow going into the project,Headey said she did check outsnippets of the violent dramaabout an outlaw biker gangoperating in contemporaryCalifornia once she knew shewould be working with Sutter.\"This kind of theme of familyand loyalty and war and holdingfast runs through both,\" Headeysaid.By Karen ButlerGillian Anderson in “The Abandons”Feature Story.qxp_My Turn 1-2H 12/9/25 2:59 PM Page 1
Page 26 HAPPENINGS December 11, 2025 www.hap2it.comLooking back over the past 32years we’ve been writing this column, there have been someincredible technological andfinancial advances that havechanged the way literally everyone searches for, pays for, andcloses on residential real estate.In this last installment, whichis Real Estate Matters columnNo. 1,701 (for those of you keeping track at home), we thoughtwe’d look at some of the majormarket events as well as a fewsignificant demographic andsocial changes that have occurredduring that time.In 1993, when Ilyce startedwriting this column, mortgageinterest rates dropped below 7%for the first time in decades. Thistriggered a massive refinancingwave as homeowners rushed tolock in these rates. And, thatturned out to be the high point forinterest rates until very recently,as mortgage rates began droppingall the way down to about 2.65%for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgageback in 2021 during the pandemic.In addition, various government and private initiatives werelaunched to help first-time homebuyers take advantage of the lowrates, pushing homeownershiprates higher. In 1994, Ilyce published the first edition of herbook, “ 100 Questions EveryFirst-Time Home Buyer ShouldAsk” (now in its fourth edition).The residential real estate market was bubbling along nicelywhen, in the early 2000s, no-docand stated income loans became“a thing.” That led to:1. The Great Recession andhousing crisis (2007-2012).Subprime mortgages were sold ashigh-quality loans, which wentbad during the Great Recession,when millions of people lost theirjobs and then lost their homes.Ilyce recently met an older millennial who shared that she, likeso many others in her generationthat came of age during this time,is still emotionally and financially traumatized from watching herfamily lose everything.2. Post-crisis credit tightening(2008-2012). After millions ofpeople started losing their homesto foreclosure, lenders implemented drastic changes to theirlending standards, making itextremely difficult to qualify fora loan with anything other than aW-2. As a result, FHA became alender of choice for many,increasing its share of residentialloans. That worried Congress,because the U.S. backed FHAloans. So, Congress enactedsome rules to help prevent a taxpayer bailout of the FHA.3. The Consumer FinancialProtection Bureau (2010).Worried that consumers were notwell-protected enough, Congresscreated the Consumer FinancialProtection Bureau (CFPB),which officially opened its doorsas an independent agency on July21, 2011.The CFPB instituted new lending regulations and a requirementthat lenders must review a borrower’s ability-to-repay a loan. Itimplemented rules that made itharder to qualify for a loan if youdidn’t have the ability to repay it.In the past 14 years, accordingto the CFPB’s own website, theCFPB has returned over $21 billion to consumers in monetarycompensation, principal reductions, canceled debts, and otherenforcement and supervisorywork, helping an estimated 205million consumers or consumeraccounts.It has taken major enforcementaction against financial giants,such as requiring Wells Fargo topay $2 billion in restitution andcanceled debts plus a $1.7 billionfine for widespread fraud involving auto loans, mortgages, anddeposit accounts, and orderingBank of America to pay morethan $100 million for systematically double-dipping on fees andopening unauthorized accounts.The CFPB has helped nearly23 million people remove at leastone medical debt collection fromtheir credit reports, has processed6.8 million consumer complaints,and led to most large banks eliminating non-sufficient funds(NSF) fees, which is estimated tosave consumers $2 billion annually.4. Impacts from the COVID19 pandemic (2020-2022). TheU.S. housing market didn’t reallyrecover from the housing crisisuntil around 2015. Five yearslater, the COVID-19 pandemicbegan, bringing record-low interest rates and a dramatic shortageof all types of housing. In addition, remote work became prevalent, driving relocations. And,loan forbearance programsbecame the norm.Finally, the list of major eventsthat have shifted real estatewouldn’t be complete without aquick look at some the big demographic and social changes thatcontinue to have an impact,including:1. Millennials (finally) becoming homebuyers (2015-present).Ilyce Glink is the author of 100Questions Every First-Time HomeBuyer Should Ask (4th Edition).She is also the CEO of BestMoney Moves, an app thatemployers provide to employeesto measure and dial downfinancial stress.

Page 28 HAPPENINGS December 11, 2025 www.hap2it.comAre you surrounded by off-sitestorage businesses like I am?Within a 15-mile radius of myrural home in central NewHampshire, there are thousandsof storage spaces in metal buildings one can rent for a king’s ransom.Within the past few months, anenormous multi-million dollarnational brand opened a threestory storage facility near me. It’sgot three loading docks forrenters to store or retrieve theirbelongings. Just 1,000 feet away,a more traditional single-storymetal building with 50-plus unitscame online in the past month.Times must be really good forpeople to have so many possessions that they have to store themat one of these places.The most shocking thing is thecost to rent a space. Are you sitting down? A tiny 5-foot by 5-foot by 8-foot tall cubicle costs$90 per month. That’s $3.60 persquare foot per month. A 10-footby 15-foot by 8-foot tall space is$194.95 per month, or $2,339.00per year.The good news is you mighthave quite a few options to avoidthese breathtaking monthly fees.The best solution depends on thesize of your lot and your localzoning laws. Your existinggarage, should you have one,may be a storage goldmineyou’ve overlooked.I found myself in a storage crisis 15 years ago. I moved fromCincinnati to central NewHampshire. My wife and I had 35years of accumulated possessions, plastic bins full of cherished toys used by our three children, and lots of furniture. Wemoved from a larger house to asmaller one.I had to rent a very large offsite storage space the day themovers arrived. We packed it fullof all sorts of stuff. It cost meabout $200 a month back in2010. That same space today isnow close to $350 a month.My lot was large enough that Icould build a large 16-foot by 24-foot free-standing two-storyshed. I built this shed 13 yearsago in my spare time. It only tookabout two months to complete it.You can purchase the detailedplans of my shed. The seventeenpages were drawn by an architectfriend. Go here to get the amazing plans: https://go.askthebuilder.com/ShedPlansThe materials for my shed costjust over $10,000.00. It’s adeluxe shed that matches myhouse. It’s got a handy 6-footwide overhead door, a man door,skylights and two windows. Icould have spent less, but I wanted the shed to look like it hadbeen built at the same time as myhome. I moved my possessionsinto the shed in 2012, and sincethat day, I’ve saved over $50,000in off-site storage fees. You cansave big money, too!You may want to purchase apre-built shed. These are built tominimum standards in my opinion, but one might suffice foryou. I priced out a 12x10x7-footshed that has a window and alarge door. The cost is only$3,299.00. This shed, if maintained, might last for decades.You can purchase larger prebuilt sheds that can be deliveredto your lot. Just be sure youcheck your local zoning lawsbefore you sign a contract. It’salso important to anchor thesesheds to the ground so they don’tblow away in a severe windstorm.Your existing garage may havea tall ceiling. The garage at myson’s new home has a ceilingthat’s almost 14 feet tall. Thiswinter, he and I are going to builda loft with just enough headroomthat he doesn’t have to duck upon the loft or underneath it downbelow.I built a similar, smaller loftthat was 4 feet deep in my lasthome. I made the bottom of theloft just 6 inches higher than theheight of the hood of my wife’scar. She could pull forward andpark the front of the car under thehandy loft.This small loft created 640cubic feet of storage space fromwhat was previously just emptyair. Compare that to the tiny 200cubic feet of space you’ll get withthe 5x5 off-site storage locker for$90 per month! My loft only costseveral hundred dollars to build.Do an online search and you’lldiscover all sorts of unique storage solutions for garages withtaller-than-average ceilings.There’s one system I’d not recommend for my friends or family. This system requires you toinstall metal tracks on the ceiling.Large plastic bins slide into thetracks.You need to be on a ladder toslide the bins into the tracks.That’s a very dangerous maneuver, in my opinion. You can loseyour balance and fall off the ladder while lifting a heavy bin overyour head.Should you decide to buildyour own shed or buy a pre-builtone, I urge you to watch a video Irecorded years ago. The biggestmistake most make is buying orbuilding a shed that’s too small.Empty sheds look spacious, butas soon as you start to put thingsin them, they shrink in size like adeflated balloon.I show in my video how toplace the things you want in theshed on your lawn or drivewayapron. Boxes and bins are easy,as they can stack. But lawn mowers, wheelbarrows, snowblowers,bicycles, etc., can take up vastamounts of floor space.https://www.askthebuilder.com/how-to-plan-a-shed/Once you have all the itemsplaced on the ground, stretch astring around them, creating arectangle or square.

It’s easyto sell online, and you can turnyour clutter into cash with minimal effort.Ask the Buildercontinued from page 28Millennials, currently the largestgeneration, have finally enteredtheir prime homebuying years.When Ilyce started writing thiscolumn, the average age of a firsttime buyer was around 26. Today,it’s over 36. Millennials, alsoknown as Generation Y, were bornbetween 1981 and 1996 and arenow between 29 and 44 years old.Their preferences for using technology has shifted the homebuying process, forcing brokers,lenders, inspectors and others toembrace new ways of doing business.2. Investor activity explosion(2010s-2020s). When individualhomebuyers couldn’t purchase allof the foreclosures caused by thehousing crisis, institutionalinvestors, house flippers, and cashbuyers stepped in, significantlyincreasing their market share. Thatincluded homes and condominiums used for short-term rentals(AirBnB and VRBO). Today, institutional investors fund build-torent developments, which are likely to lock out a not significant portion of Americans from ever owning a home.3. Climate change adaptation(2010s-present). Finally, floodinsurance has become a biggerissue and more of a concern tohomebuyers. Premium prices areskyrocketing, particularly forhomes located along the U.S.coastline or in flood zones, orthose areas at high risk for wildfires. Homebuyers are looking forways to reduce the cost of theirinsurance, along with ways tolower the cost of energy in general. Energy efficient heating andcooling systems, appliances, solarpanels, and the prospect of drainedaquifers has pushed local governments to assess building standardsand how they can encouragebuilders to build more climateresilient homes while enactingmore climate-friendly policies.Both sets of changes collectively transformed real estate from alargely local, relationship-basedindustry into a technology-driven,nationally integrated market withsophisticated financial productsand data analytics.We can’t wait to see whatchanges the next 30 years willbring.Changes in real estatecontinued from page 26It’s a real estateroundtable whenMelissa RoachZievers and Shiela Hegjoin us on air todiscuss the most upto-date news in realestate.
