Why you should rent a private office

calyx.ward@propertyresources.net (Calyx Ward) — Tue, 01 Sep 2020 21:06:54 GMT

Why you should rent your own private office space!

Renting your own office space may be the solution to your next business year!

There has been much improvement in technology and harsher regulations for social distancing have been implemented in 2020. These factors are what you might want to consider when renting a private office space for yourself. This is a great place for your children to study or do part time school work in for the following year ahead!

When you rent an individual office spaces you feel encouraged to network and have beneficial encounters. You will feel excited about going to work, having a space to grow and expand your business and knowledge!

These office spaces can be used as "study pods" those who have to attend school ‘remotely’. This gives students and family to safe a space where they can study and focus outside of the house!

Here are 6 reasons why you should consider renting an individual office space.

1. Face-to-face- meetings : Sometimes you can’t get away without meeting your clients in person. If you need a place for meetings, showrooms, or design areas where you can meet your clients face to face in a comfortable and professional space. This also will prevent the spread of germs into your home! You can keep business and your house separate.

2. Motivation: Office spaces create a cooperative and motivating environment where you get to socialize and stay focused on your businesses. Zoom meetings and working from home can get tiring! If you had a place to escape for work, you might feel motivated to work harder! This gets your concentration and creativity flowing and eliminating all distractions while you work!

3. Free Office Supplies and Essentials : Working in an office space allows you to have the benefits of using the essential office supplies like the copier/scanner, paper, Wireless High Speed internet, coffee machine, a stapler, pens, highlighters etc. These are all essentials you need but might not have the extra space at home for.

4. Your business is growing : If you can tell that your business is growing faster than you anticipated , you’ll at least need an office space to make room for that growth. Make sure you have the space and time to set yourself up for success.

5. Too Much Time Spent at Home: There’s no reason running a business from home or working from home needs to be mandatory when you have access to your own personal office area. Give yourself more room to grow and create. Give yourself the time and space away from the home to work on the things you need to do

6. Homeschooling or Study Pods: Since the pandemic, schools have been requiring students to go online for classes. Why not rent an area where your kids can stay focused. Where they can study and have enough room for learning and growing! Plus getting out of the house can stimulate children’s brains to keep them focused.New Paragraph

Fun Friday! The World's Weirdest Houses

calyx.ward@propertyresources.net (Calyx Ward) — Fri, 17 Jul 2020 20:20:32 GMT

World's Wildest Houses

1. Hằng Nga Guesthouse, Dalat, Vietnam

Originally designed by Vietnamese architect Dang Viet Nga, the Hang Nga Guesthouse is also known as the “Dalat Crazy House” by the locals and vaguely resembles a giant tree. With 10 themed guest rooms, the house is open to tourists. It boasts lots of nooks, crannies, twists, turns, bridges, hallways and staircases and is promoted as a fairy tale themed house surrounded by sculptures and gardens. All of the furniture inside the house needed to be handcrafted to fit in with the organic shape of the interior.

2. THE ANCIENT CLIFF HOUSE, GUYAJU, CHINA

Over 110 rooms were carved into the side of a cliff about 92 km northwest of Beijing in the Tang Dynasty. The Xiyi people lived in them and built the communal caves near a natural spring.

The Guyaju Caves are known as the largest cliff residence ever discovered in China and are also known as “the biggest maze of China”. Stone steps and ladders were used to connect the different levels, and inside were found stone hearths, wardrobes, beds and mangers. At the highest level of the communal cave was found a two story stone house, featuring furniture which may have belonged to the leader of the tribe.

3. THE MOBILE AQUATIC POD, EXBURY, ENGLAND

Designed as a studio space and personal experiment in minimal life by artist Stephen Turner, the “Exbury Egg” is a floating home and studio space based on the premise of reevaluating what we traditionally think of as a home. It’s intended to be an installation, moved by boat, but is currently being used by Turner as a year-long home (the artist is documenting his life in the egg as a sort of performance art). Fashioned almost entirely from artfully-wrapped wood, the tiny one-room space will be washed by tides, rains, and winds over time to gain a unique patina, integrating the structure into the visual theme of the marsh area surrounding it. Inside, Turner has a basic shower and cooking devices, as well as a hammock to rest in.

4. MALATOR HOUSE, PEMBROKESHIRE, WALES, UK

Known locally as the Teletubby house, Malator House is built entirely underground, and only the front glass view of the house shows its existence in a hill.

Built in 1998 by Future Systems architects for a Member of Parliament (Bob Marshall-Andrews QC), Malator house showcases how the landscape can be preserved with thoughtful architecture.

From an aerial perspective, the house cannot be seen at all, as the top is completely covered with native grasses and blends perfectly into the scenery.

5. THE URBAN CACTUS, ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS

UCX Architects designed this rather amazing apartment building as an example of making the most of alternating patterns to allow more sunlight for outdoor spaces in future community housing. With 98 residential apartments and 19 stories, the unusual design allows each apartment access to sun, both on the garden petal and some of the interior. The project was designed to allow green space with residency near the Vuurplaat Harbour, as well as excellent city views. Construction of the building began in 2006.

6. THE EARTH HOUSE ESTATE, DIETIKON, SWITZERLAND

New PaBuilt around a small artificial lake are nine “Earth Houses” that look like hobbit holes, containing modern apartment-like interiors, each including a modular kitchen and luxury bathroom.

Architect Peter Vetsch designed the houses to blend into the landscape, using the earth as insulation and protection from rain, wind and ice. Entrance to the estate is kept private. Due to the success of Earth Houses, Vetsch Architecture is creating and building many more such mini communities in Switzerland and Germany, using similar techniques.

7. HEIDELBERG PROJECT, DETROIT, USA

The Heidelberg Project is a community organisation encouraging locals to use art and creativity to make beautiful installations in the streets of rundown suburbs in Detroit.

The Project has been running since 1986 and amazing houses and street decorations have been built out of up-cycled materials.

Previously, where modern ruins and abandoned houses stood in a two block area, there is now color and interest.

The founder of the Heidelberg Project, Tyree Guyton, loves up-cycling discarded objects and wants to educate people about community through art.

The interesting artworks have resulted in over 275,000 tourists visiting the Project annually, spawning new jobs for the city and hope for the artists who are busily making a difference transforming their lives.

8. LEGO HOUSE, SURREY, UK

Built with over 3,300,000 lego bricks, the Lego House is the creation of James May, who always wanted a house made of lego.

With a working toilet, a hot shower, staircase and bed, all made with lego bricks, this two story Lego House was built by volunteers and attracted a lot of international attention. Unfortunately, the house was demolished in 2009 as it crowded prime grape real estate in the local area. James plans on building a life sized lego ship for his next project.

9. THE CLOUD HOUSE, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

Australian architecture firm McBride Charles Ryan created the cloud house as an extension on a century-old Edwardian home. The aim was to add a modern touch and stir interest in the property, making it into a local landmark again.

Visitors walk through a traditional Edwardian interior and emerge into the ultra-modern extension, which features a red kitchen with box inspiration and lots of curved wood in the cloud shaped facade, overlooking the pool.

10. PIERRE CARDIN’S “BUBBLE HOUSE”, THÉOULE-SUR-MER, FRANCE

This bubble-shaped villa was designed in the 1970s by architect Antti Lovag, who sought to include natural, flowing elements into the design and was inspired by the flowing shape of ancestral caves and troglodyte habitats.

Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Palais Bulles features an open air amphitheatre, a reception hall which accommodates 350 seated people and a garden, pool and ponds on 8,500 sq/ft . There are even round beds to match.

Designer Pierre Cardin bought this 28 bedroom home in 1989, ironically having designed his iconic bubble dress 30 years earlier. It has often been used as a location for editorial fashion photography and film festival parties. Antti Lovag is still designing unusual houses at 90 years of age.

First Time Living Alone Checklist

calyx.ward@propertyresources.net (Calyx Ward) — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 18:05:25 GMT

The Ultimate Check List for your First Apartment

August is the busiest month of moving! Especially for those who are off to college and moving into their first apartment or house! (GO CU BUFFS)

It can be difficult figuring out what you need to buy for school let alone your living, so we made a checklist for your move in! This way you can move in with subtle ease and allow your mind to focus on school! This checklist is everything you must have -- whether purchased, given, or found for cheap at a thrift store, you’ll need these items before you move in!

1. Mattress, bedding and pillows

The first thing worth your investment or time to get is a bed. You are going to be grinding all those gears and you need the best sleep you can (when you have time for it). Make those hours count and even invest in a mattress pad for even more comfort! Need inexpensive bedding? We get it! Check out Target’s cheap selection of bedding for every style.

2. First Aid Kit

Especially with these unprecedented times with the recent pandemic, make sure you are well equipped with a first aid kit, and a thermometer!

You don’t want to pass those nasty germs to your classmates! Remember Emerge-C is key to surviving the winter cold, flu and now Corona Virus.

Order your first kit and Emerge-C online!

3. Tool Kit

When you're living alone, taking things apart or putting them together can be hard without your parents tool box.

We recommend having a screwdriver, hammer and scissors for moving.

You might also want some hooks and nails for decorating and making your place really feel like home.

Amazon has some really cute colored tool boxes to make building even better!

4. Toilet Paper

The last thing you want is to run out of toilet paper while you're trying to rush out of the house to get to class on time. Make sure you buy plenty of toilet paper for your new bathrooms as soon as move-in day begins! It's one of those things you can make sure you never have enough of. Don’t be hoarder though, we all need some tee-pee too.

Did you know you can get toilet paper delivered to you through Who Gives a Crap so you never forget! (its also better for our planet and your bum!)

5. Cleaning Supplies

You will need cleaning supplies as soon as you move in because you may find spots and filth the previous tenants might have overlooked. (we make sure to hire a cleaning service before you move in) BUT you need to make sure you have all these before unpacking because you might make a mess or need to clean something before decorating.

Here is a good list of cleaning supplies you should have handy:

1. Swifter Mop
2. Vacuum
3. Multi-surface cleaning spray and wipes
4. Disinfectant spray (especially with CORONA)
5. Paper towels
6. Trash bags
7. Laundry detergent, stain remover, dryer sheets
8. Toilet scrubber and toilet bowl cleaning solution
9. Dish soap & if applicable dishwasher soap
10. Air freshener or candle

6. Kitchen Utensils

If sticking to take out or paper plates and cups is something you need to do before buying a whole dish set that's okay but there are some essentials you should have just in case. Plus not using paper plates or plastic red solo cups is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint!

Goodwill/thrift stores are a great place to find cheap and nice kitchen supplies. The dollar store also has dollar kitchen utensils! Perfect for those on a college budget!

1. Water glasses and mugs (coffee is essential in college)

2. Plates and bowls

3. Forks, knifes, and spoons

4. Frying pan, a pot for water and a cookie sheet

5. Toaster, microwave and blender (smoothies are a great way to get all the essentials you need for a day)

6. Food storage containers (zip-lock bags and tin foil)

7. Spatula

8. Knife

9. Pot holder

10. Cutting Board

7. Clothing Hangers

If you can’t afford a dresser right now we understand. Clothing hangers are way more affordable and can still keep your clothes off the ground. Especially living in Colorado you’re going to want to hang up your jackets after you get home so your floor isn't wet.

8. Batteries and extension Cords

As you start unpacking things, you'll notice you're going to need batteries and probably an extension cord. This way you can unpack, relax and watch TV or surf the internet, turn on some lights.. The thing you'll need energy and power for.

9. Spices and Pantry Essentials

You might not realize all the extra spices and cooking necessities you might need until you start cooking your first meal in your place and have nothing to cook with… or your food turns out tasteless. Let's make sure your kitchen is cooking worthy!

1. Salt & Pepper

2. Garlic powder/salt

3. Onion powder

4. Rosemary, oregano, thyme and bay leaves

5. Sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg

6. Flour

7. Baking powder / soda

8. Cooking oil (vegetable, olive, coconut)

9. Vinegar

10. Soy sauce

11. Ketchup & Mustard

10. Bathroom Necessities

We already covered the toilet paper and cleaning supplies. Here’s the other basics you will need as well:

1. Trash can

2. Toilet paper holder

3. Bath towels

4. Hand soap and lotion

5. Storage for your toiletries

6. Candles and some air freshener

11. Miscellaneous

Now you have most everything down and in order. What about the random things you might be searching for and realize you wouldn't have prior?

1. Reusable water bottle and water filter

2. Tissues

3. Iron board and Iron

4. Rugs - for entry, bathroom and decor

5. Full length mirror

6. Laundry Hamper

7. Trash Can

8. Office Supplies (school has you covered)

9.Dustpan

10. Light bulbs

11. Heater or fan

Stay Healthy & Happy During COVID - 19

calyx.ward@propertyresources.net (Calyx Ward) — Wed, 15 Jul 2020 16:18:02 GMT

How to Stay Healthy & Happy During COVID-19 Pandemic

As we all know, COVID-19 is a serious pandemic that has affected the entire global community. Health officials warn about the second wave of infections that could cause a second mandatory lock down. Times are tough when you have to stay separated from friends, family and work. Property Resources Inc. supports those in need of these tough times. Here are some of our best tips for staying Safe during this global pandemic.

1. Wear your Mask

Wearing a mask is not only simple and cheap, it’s also proved to be effective in slowing the virus’s spread. It will protect the health and even save the lives of your loved ones, your neighbors and people you don’t know.

2. Wash your hands often and for 20 seconds

We all learned to wash our hands when we were younger, but if you’ve forgotten, please remember to wash those hands often and thoroughly! Health officials recommend washing for at least 20 seconds. We like to sing ourselves ‘Happy Birthday’ to pass the time.

3. Stay away from people

This may be obvious but there are many events and festivities to be held in the summer. Please try and refrain yourself from group gatherings of more than 5 people! It will help the spread when you're not around people. We have face-time now! Give your friends a digital call instead.

4. Keep productive

I’m sure you have something that you need to do. Clean your house? Go through old clothes? Git rid of unnecessary household items? Maybe you need to start working out, eating better, etc. No matter what, keep yourself busy! It helps prevent the lonely depression that could creep into your life from being alone. Go outside, go adventure. Don’t just sit there and panic.

5. Stay Positive and Share the Happy Thoughts

There are A LOT of people going through hard times right now. 2020 hasn’t been the most “positive” year. To keep things from getting too negative spread the positivity. Write some one you love a letter, give your neighbors some hand sanitizer, share good podcasts and music! Keep the good vibes going and remember to be NICE! You don’t know what that person maybe going through!

Here's a link to some positive podcasts:
