Shelter From The Storm
Part 1
Pairing: Will Johnson x female reader
Words: 4,886
Warnings: mentions of blood and healing gunshot wounds, hunting, swearing, drinking, infidelity in a past relationship.
Summary: A lost hiker caught in the middle of a severe storm stumbles upon Will Johnson’s cabin nestled in the remote wilderness, seeking refuge from the elements, where both end up finding solace in each other. Tension builds as the storm rages on, leaving them with nothing but time to indulge in their curiosities.
A/N: I couldn’t help myself and wrote a fic with the “there was only one bed” trope. This has been in the works for a while now and I finally found motivation to move on it! To my own surprise it ended up turning into a monster that will have at least 3 chapters. Lots of smut to come!
———
Will sat staring into the fire he had just finished stoking, his body already tired from the simple task of collecting and chopping a few pieces of wood, a disgruntled sigh blowing through his nostrils at the thought of it not being enough to keep the fire burning through the night. He rubbed a hand carefully over his aching side, knowing he'd have to go back out shortly to repeat the task.
His head tipped toward the floor, feeling completely deflated at the state he found himself in, but at least he was alive, he thought. Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a spot of his own blood left uncleaned on one of the worn floorboards, having missed it earlier in his attempt to erase the memories of him laying there shot and bleeding just weeks ago, the blood dried and stubborn to scrub out, proving that job to be worse than preparing the fire.
"Ah, for fucks sake!" he hissed, giving the table leg in front of him a kick which only added to his agony. He growled out and doubled over, a sharp pain ripping through his torso, making him wonder just how long it would take for him to fully heal.
Standing slowly from his chair, he walked stiffly over to the kitchen area, the short steps it took to get there enough to have him grip the counter for support as he waited for the dizzying wave of pain to pass.
He let out a shuddering exhale and grabbed the bottle of single malt whiskey that sat half full on a shelf, pouring it into the same glass he used the night before with a shaking hand. Will knew he wasn't supposed to drink while taking the pain medication he was prescribed, but with them providing barely any relief, he preferred the effects of the whiskey anyway. He downed the liquid and closed his eyes as the warmth coursed through him and prayed that something else would provide his body and mind some sort of alleviation once the whiskey was gone and the pain meds ran out.
Will took a moment to pause, reflecting as he looked at his surroundings, thinking how even though his last memories in the cabin weren't the happiest ones, he felt comforted being back. The weather worn, wood plank walls and the steel roof he'd helped repair more times over the years than he could count gave him a sense of ease, a sense of home, this place having concealed him from weather and kept him warm every time he came out to hunt.
It was his first choice of places to go when he was released from hospital, knowing he could find solace in the isolated shack, far away from everyone and everything else, the only reminder of the trouble he had found himself caught up in being the state it was left in. It would take a bit to get it back to how it was, and with having to move as slow as he did it would take even longer, but in the meantime he temporarily sealed the broken windows with plastic sheets and cleaned his blood off the floor. It would be cold, he thought, looking at how the wind was already rippling the material on the empty panes, knowing there would be frequent storms coming in this time of year, but he always managed.
Will swallowed what was left in his glass, hoping to manifest that type of warmth on the cold nights ahead, and looked over to the fire that already required more of his efforts. He sighed and took a moment to psych himself up again before stepping back outside, his body already complaining at having to ready more firewood.
This was by far your worst idea yet. Maybe not compared to dating that slug of a man for so long, but this was not much better. A gust of wind tore through you, your 'windproof' jacket doing nothing to shield your body, and you paused and wrapped your arms tighter around yourself before making your feet carry you forward again. Another blast of wind pushed against you, and you watched your feet step sideways from the force of it, the long grasses you were tramping on blowing almost flat against the ground.
You squinted and looked up at the sky, having to hold your toque in place so the wind didn't rip it right off your head as you tried to see if this weather was close to passing even though you knew it wasn't. The clouds had long hidden any traces of the sun and it seemed they turned darker with the current; the threat of rain or snow, or both imminent.
The further you walked, the further it seemed you brought yourself closer to any sort of civilization, and your hopes of finding shelter before nightfall were quickly fading. A shiver ran down your damp spine at the thought of being outside all night in the dark, vastness of wherever this was between Middlemarch and Queenstown, if that even was the area you still found yourself to be lost in. Rain drops began to pelt your face in waves of harsh pellets, the sound of them mocking you as they hit your coat in hard pings, and at that point you let out a noise of your own that was somewhere between a cry and a scream, the wind so loud it drowned you out from being heard.
All you wanted to do was go hiking for a couple of days, desperate to prove to yourself that you weren't some spineless woman to sit around and let life pass her by while her so-called boyfriend went and slept with every other woman on the planet. It had been a last-minute decision after you broke up with him, needing to get away to clear your head, and although you thought you had prepared enough for this soul-searching adventure, you really hadn't. Yes, you had a tent stowed away in your backpack, but the way the weather was turning out it wouldn't really make a difference. Despite checking your phone every two minutes, there was still no signal, and the last time you pulled out your map it was stolen out of your hands by the wind and you watched in defeat as it sailed high above you and far over the valleys that surrounded you.
Self-pity began to soak into you faster than the rain did; did you really deserve all of this? To be mistreated for years and when finally able to gain enough courage to stand up for yourself and do something you could be proud of, mother nature swooped in to point and laugh at you.
Tears began to mix with the water that streaked your cheeks, and you wiped them away furiously in determination not to give up.
You adjusted the heavy pack on your back, pulling the straps over your shoulders that had slipped off a bit, and you let out a steadying breath; you could do this. You had to do this.
The temperature was dropping quickly, and although your toes began to feel numb in your boots, you moved them forward one step at a time.
Your tired legs carried you over the next hill, and you nearly collapsed when your eyes caught sight of something up ahead in the distance. You rubbed them, just to make sure the rain hadn't blurred your vision, and blinked when what you thought you saw was still there.
A cabin nestled in a valley sat warm and waiting; smoke billowing out of a small vent on the roof, a warm glow emitting from tiny windows from what had to be a roaring fire that you could already feel licking at your cold skin. You trudged ahead at the quickest pace you'd set so far, desperate to get closer and make sure this wasn't the equivalent of a mirage in the desert, an illusion of a sanctuary to tease you into walking further into the vast wilderness.
Your cheeks burned from the wind and the cold rain stung them, the combination enough to make you feel insane, but you pressed on. Before long your feet pounded across the rickety, wood floorboards of the porch that was attached to the front of the small cabin, and without hesitation your hand rapped on the door.
The wind howled and whistled through the crack in the door, sending a shiver down Will's back as he laid in bed, doing his best to fall asleep to help pass the time and ease his boredom. A week had slowly passed since he arrived back at the cabin, but with all the rest he'd allowed himself, his body was already feeling stronger. He stretched his arms over his head, a dull ache pulling down the length of his side, moving a hand to gently probe his wounds. Despite the advice of his doctors, he chose to be dismissed from the hospital early, preferring to be bored and lonely here as opposed to being poked and prodded endlessly. He could look after himself just fine, he always had anyways.
He glanced out the window beside the bed, unsure if the sky was turning dark from the sun setting or from the approaching storm. Warnings and alerts had lit up his phone only hours before any signal was completely lost, cautioning about the severity and the possibility of it lasting days. Rain, snow and hail were all expected along with strong winds, and Will found himself almost welcoming it.
Night was creeping in quickly, and although the bitter cold of the storm bit through the warmth the fire was providing, he welcomed laying here rather than in that starchy hospital bed. Eventually he would recover enough to go out hunting, and he looked forward to that more than anything, knowing there was little else that would heal better than being out in the fresh air and remote scenery. Will sighed and closed his eyes, taking in the sound of the wind and heavy rain, his body beginning to relax into the mattress to feign away the pain and lull him into sleep.
After being asleep for what only felt like minutes, Will sat up, hearing footsteps move across the porch above the noise from the storm, and a moment later a loud and desperate sounding knock hammered on the door. With a grumble he swung his legs off the bed, the action making him pause as the stitch in his side reminded him of the last time someone unexpectedly came to this door.
Hesitating only a moment, he gripped the handle and pulled open the door, revealing you - soaked from the rain - standing on the other side.
You smiled despite the frantic look on your face, which quickly changed to relief upon seeing him.
"Hi…" he got out, almost stunned.
"I'm sorry, I was hiking and got caught in the storm," you got out in a hurry. "I'm a little lost and I'm just looking for a place to stay until it passes, I-"
"Hey, hey, it's alright, come in," he cut you off, stepping aside to let you rush past him.
"Thank you!" you said genuinely, looking now as if you were about to cry you were so relieved, moving to stand awkwardly in the middle of the cabin as he turned to close the door.
"How long have you been out there?" Will asked, taking in your weather-worn and shivering state.
"Since this morning."
It had rained most of the day, and the temperature had dropped drastically in the last few hours, the rain having changed to hail and snow, amazing Will that you had made it this far.
"Jesus Christ, you're lucky you're not dead," he said in shock.
A giggle formed out of mutual disbelief came out of your mouth and immediately the severity of your situation hit you. Your lip trembled slightly and you wrapped your arms around yourself, every part of you shaking like a leaf.
"Come sit by the fire," Will instructed, pulling one of the kitchen chairs out for you to sit on. "And take off that coat, it's only making you colder."
You did as you were told, discarding your backpack and wet jacket to pile on the floor before sitting on the chair provided and scooching it closer to the stove, placing your hands in front of it to help warm them.
"What's your name?" he asked, leaning against the brick partition that encased the fireplace, looking at you curiously. You watched him smile when you told him between the chattering of your teeth, his gaze making you slightly nervous as you noticed how blue his eyes were. "I'm Will," he then explained, his smile spreading further on his face to reveal dimples hidden beneath his short beard.
"It's nice to meet you, Will," you said, smiling up at him, thankful already for his hospitality. "I promise I'll be out as soon as the storm dies down," you said in a rush, feeling guilty for imposing.
"Well, I don't think it's passing any time soon," Will said, glancing out the window at the flurries blowing past.
You hummed, rubbing your arms as you looked around the room. The cabin was small, only a table with a few chairs, the fireplace, a tiny kitchen area and a lone bed tucked in the corner.
"From what I've heard this storm is supposed to last a few days-"
You turned to look at him with panic, which only made him chuckle and shake his head. "It's fine. You can stay as long as you need to. There's no point going back out there and risking your life again." When his words only appeared to slightly comfort you he continued, "I have plenty of food, don't worry."
You sighed and looked down at the floor, wondering exactly how a couple of days in this cabin with him would go. Accepting your fate, you tugged the toque off your head that was heavy with water, spinning it once in your hands.
"Do you live here?" you finally asked, wanting to break the silence and learn more about your new roommate.
"I do, yeah."
"Alone?"
He grinned again and nodded his head, "Yeah." He turned and walked over to sit on one of the other chairs, leaning back so his head rested against the wall behind him. "So what brings you out here?"
You smiled and hummed, laughing at yourself and your stupidity. "I just needed to get away. Clear my head..." Your gaze dropped to your hands that were nearly blue from the cold, fidgeting with them in your lap, not wanting to meet his piercing eyes you could feel staring at you. You felt embarrassed, fearing he would judge you and your inexperience that could've left you dead in the middle of nowhere from hypothermia.
"Well, this area is a very good place to do that," he said with understanding. "When the weather is better, mind you." He chuckled and you looked up, biting your lip to stifle your own laugh but unable to due to liking how much his laugh sounded.
You finally allowed yourself to take a good look at him, admiring his rugged, manly appearance. He looked like he could model for an outdoors magazine, like he was made for this setting, years in the elements gracing him rather than wearing him down.
Already you liked the lines that spread out in fine cracks around his eyes when he smiled or laughed, the colours in his beard that showed some of his age and looked impossibly soft, the way the thick skin on his neck creased when he moved and had you eager to know how it smelt.
You peeled your eyes away from him despite not wanting to, instead taking in the items that adorned the small space like the various rifles and knives, even some antlers that hung proudly on the wall that told of past victories.
"You're a hunter?"
"Yeah," he confirmed, following your sightline that rested on the antlers of the very first buck he tagged when he was twelve years old. "I used to only come out here for hunting, but I decided to sell my house in Dunedin and move out here full time."
"But it's so small, so remote," you blurted out, "is there even plumbing?"
You glanced over to look at him when he didn't answer right away, realizing how rude you sounded. "Sorry!"
"No, no, it's fine," he chuckled. "There is technically plumbing, yes, but no real bathroom. Not yet, anyway. I've got a lot of work ahead of me."
"You'll do it all yourself?"
"I'm surprisingly handy," he smirked, and you weren't sure if the thought of him working with his hands and getting sweaty or the way his dimples peaked out when he smiled like that made pressure pull in your core.
"I bet it'll be really nice. I mean, it is really nice already-"
"Don't worry, I'm not offended. It's a simple way of living, and exactly what I need right now."
"Well, right now this is my favourite place in the world," you said, bringing your hands closer to the fire.
Silence filled the room, the sound of the logs cracking in the stove keeping you entranced for a moment before Will's buttery voice filled the small room again.
“Your boyfriend must be wondering where you are?”
Looking over at him to see his head cocked to the side with what looked like a hint of confidence filling his expression, you raised your eyebrows.
“Clever. I’m newly single, actually.”
"Is that all part of the "needing to clear your head" thing?" he asked, not mockingly, even though that is what you half expected.
All you could do was nod and stare back into the fire, the fresh wounds carved into your heart and your pride reminding you of their presence with a sting.
"Well whoever he was I'm sure he's a complete wanker."
You huffed out a laugh, easily agreeing with him, your heart feeling less torn just by hearing a simple sentiment from a man you didn't know. "The biggest one."
You didn't really know how much time had passed since arriving at the cabin, sitting and talking easily with him, but even with such a nice distraction, the cold you felt was still stuck in your bones. You shivered and rubbed your hands on your thighs a few times to create friction, automatically grabbing Will's attention.
"You're not warming up at all, are you?" he asked with concern.
"I'm fine," you lied, a chill causing your body to visibly shudder.
Will stood from his chair and began working at the buttons on his flannel shirt, revealing a white t-shirt beneath, and you sat stunned as you wondered what he was doing.
"Here, take this, it's warm," he explained, shrugging carefully out of it with what looked like pain on his face. You went to question him, and also protest, but soon he was standing before you, holding it out for you to take. The warmth from his body heat radiated into your icy hands as soon as you grabbed it, and you knew just how good it would feel on your skin. The shirt you wore that was beneath your sweater and jacket had become wet as well, so you swiftly lifted them over your head and hung them on the chair to dry before donning his soft, warm one.
You could feel his eyes on you the whole time, watching you stand momentarily in nothing but your bra and pants, but you didn't care. To be honest, you even welcomed it. When your eyes cast up to meet his again after fastening the buttons, the expression on his face and look in his eyes made your stomach flip and mouth go dry.
"Better?" he asked in a low tone, his voice heavy with lust.
"Mhm, thank you." Your voice was barely above a whisper, and for a moment you caught yourself wanting to close the space between you and sit yourself on his lap, carding your hands through his thick hair as you kissed his inviting lips, but then you remembered the way he had moved carefully like he was in pain when he took off his shirt and what looked like bandages that lay hidden beneath his t-shirt.
"What happened to you?" you asked, not to be nosy, but out of worry.
He grinned crookedly and chuckled, absently running his hand over his side as if checking that the bandages were actually there. "I got caught up in a situation."
You tilted your head, squinting at him slightly. "What situation would that be?"
He sighed, accepting that he might as well tell you. "I got shot."
"You- what?" You found yourself standing to walk over to him, wanting to see for yourself.
"I was shot with a shotgun," he repeated, pulling at the edge of his shirt to lift it enough for you to see the bandages. "Ten pellets littered into my side at close range." He looked up at you with an innocence in his eyes as you automatically reached out to trace your fingertips over where his wounds lay just beneath the wrappings.
"Was it a hunting accident?"
"Uhh…" he started, and you could see the hesitation in his features, but when he looked back up at you something gave and you knew he was going to tell you the truth. "You've heard of Lola and Chelsea?"
Your eyes widened and your hand moved from his torso to cover your mouth in surprise. "Yes!"
He laughed, "Well, it wasn't them, but someone who was trying to kill them. Anyway...I got mixed up in their mess and this is how I ended up." Will could almost see the wheels turning in your mind, as if you were trying to assess if you had just put yourself in some sort of danger by being here. He looked at you again, seriously this time, licking his lips before he spoke as he pulled his shirt back down. "They're not bad people, you know."
Your eyes searched his for a minute, making him furrow his brow slightly when your expression began to show you might not trust him, and who was he to blame you.
"I never said they were."
Will nodded his head slowly in surprise, tucking in his lips.
"I'm not either."
"I never thought so," you replied sincerely, moving to take your seat again in the chair beside the fire.
Suddenly your brain registered that your pants were clinging to your skin, the wet from them making your skin feel clammy and desperate to be dry, and you abruptly stood again to tear them off of you frantically.
"Erm, are you okay?" Will asked, sitting up a bit straighter in his chair.
"I just need out of these, my skin feels like it's about to fall off," you huffed out, laying the soppy material out on the floor to dry in the glow of the fire. Thankfully, his shirt covered your upper body, the hem of it laying to rest just above your bum with how largely it hung on you.
You sat again and scooched even closer to the hearth, the flames heating your skin in the way you craved it to. Even still, the cold lingered, the backs of your legs exposed to the cooler air in the cabin that snuck in through the windows and boards that made up the walls, and you tucked your legs up onto the seat of your chair, trying to curl your body closer into itself. You took a deep breath in, and with that you momentarily forgot the cold, instead taking in the scent of him emitting off his shirt; a faint smell of pine and citrus that was likely his deodorant mixing with a natural musk that made your head spin a bit.
Will felt like he might burst at the seams, watching twice now as you stood half dressed in his cabin, wearing his shirt, the way it covered your body- or just barely- making him fidget in his seat. He took a deep breath and tried to prevent his mind from wandering, but it was impossible. A gorgeous woman stumbles upon a lonely man's cabin in the middle of nowhere, both single, this was basically a porno in the making. He rubbed his hand roughly through his hair before smoothing it back, steeling himself to look at you again and ignore the growing friction in his pants. When he did look at you, he was surprised to see you alternating between still rubbing your hands together and now blowing on them, the cold having soaked so deep in you it was impossible to shake.
"Here, let me." He stood and dragged his chair to land beside yours, sitting so close his knee nudged against yours when you placed one of your legs back on the floor.
Warm hands encased yours, the calluses and rough skin feeling nice somehow, and slowly Will brought them to his mouth, blowing his hot air in the opening where his own left a small space in covering yours. You turned in your seat to face him rather than the fire, sliding forward so your bum was on the very edge of the chair, bringing yourself closer to the man who's blue eyes beckoned you like magnets.
Will continued to warm your hands, never once stopping from watching you.
"That feels good," you whispered, surprising yourself a little that the words in your head left your mouth.
"Hmm, good," Will purred back, his lips ghosting on the side of your hand as he revealed them a little more.
It felt like your heart was going to leap out of your chest, the way he was looking at you combined with how he moved to carefully kiss each one of your knuckles causing you for the second time that night to want to leap on him and kiss him.
You swallowed hard, trying to find your voice again before losing all hope in keeping your composure.
"How did you get the cuts on your head?" you wondered out loud, needing to draw both of your focus elsewhere.
Faded bruises and scabs remained on his right temple, appearing older than the gunshot wounds he mentioned only happened a couple of weeks ago.
"I rolled my truck."
You looked at him with shock and sympathy, which only made him chuckle quietly and continue. "And then I got into a fight."
"All of this before getting shot?" you asked in alarm.
"Yeah," he said with a shrug, as if none of it surprised him anymore.
"That's a lot to happen to one person," you said, almost to yourself, pulling a hand out from his gentle grasp to smooth your fingers over the lingering scars of what was apparently the lesser of his hardships.
"I'm fine." He quietly waved it off, and you wondered just how many times in his life he had to say that. Wanting to kiss away every bit of pain and suffering he'd ever experienced, your body pulled toward Will's, catching sight of the way his eyes flickered between your lips and your eyes, as if he was thinking the same thing. Your eyes closed, waiting to feel his lips meet with yours, but opened again when a log in the fireplace cracked and made you jump slightly.
You looked up to see Will remaining in the same position, his expression mixed between a calm confidence and bubbling lust that boiled below the surface of his thick skin.
"I bet you're tired," he said, breaking what seemed to be a kind of spell cast between you, his voice gravelly and barely above a whisper.
You hummed, watching as he stood and made his way to the bed and climbed in, leaving room for you to join.
You looked at him nervously and remained in your seat, unsure what to do.
"Look, I know this is cliche, but there's only one bed, and neither one of us deserves to sleep in a bloody chair."
You stood, a disbelieving giggle escaping your lips as you bit your lower one, taking a step toward the bed before stopping and looking back at the fire. Every fiber of your being wanted to lay there with him, not even your mind was telling you it was a bad idea, so slowly you slid your legs beneath the covers and settled yourself against the mattress.
You felt like your pulse was hammering so loudly he would hear it, your breath laboured like you had just finished running, and you closed your eyes to steady yourself.
Feeling Will's hand brush against yours, his finger gently caressing the back of your hand, your eyes flashed open and you turned your head to look at him.
"You alright?" he asked, a soft smile on his lips confirming you definitely were.
"More than alright." You returned his smile before looking straight up at the ceiling, the sound of freezing rain hammering against the roof

3 Steps To Roulette Of Your Desires
The roulette wheels used within the casinos of Paris within the late 1790s had crimson for the only zero and black for the double zero. If there have been no zero or 00, that may correspond precisely to the percentages of winning, however with those numbers added, the true odds are 37-1. By paying at lower than the true odds, the home builds in a 5.26 p.c benefit in roulette. Steadily used when the exact odds are expressed. They're afraid to attempt them on their very own (with very good cause) they usually believe that the associated fee of having a certified licensed electrician come in and do periodic checks and repairs will probably be prohibitive.

Should Your Roof Be Metal?
Tumblr media
Not long ago, a devastating fire broke out in Lahaina. Among all the homes that were unfortunately reduced to ashes, there was one house that stayed intact. The news called it a heartening tale of resilience while the Colorado State Forest Service attached a seemingly valid reason to it.
Intended or not, the Millikin family had done up their roofing in a way that reduced their home's ability to ignite. Millikin adds that they had got the five layers of asphalt removed from the roof. Back in 2022, they installed a new metal roof with air pockets to allow heat to dissipate. In addition, they removed all vegetation at the ground level along their house's dripline and added a stone buffer. They admitted that these steps were taken to prevent termites and not fire.
Ensuring that your house is fire-proof is a priority when it comes to roofing. In this blog, we’ll explore the multifaceted benefits that metal roofers can add to your home’s roofing system.
How can metal improve your roofing system?
Metal roofs are exceptionally durable, and can last over 50 years. Let’s look at the numerous benefits metal roofing can do for you.
Metal Roofing stands the test of time and harsh weather – Metal roofs are an excellent choice for houses located in cities with strong winds and heavy rains. They are resistant to damage, reducing leakage and structural issues.
Reflects away solar heat – Metal roofs can reflect solar heat which can lead to sustaining a cooler environment indoors. Due to reduced heat absorption, the need to use air conditioners decreases, thereby working toward lower energy bills.
Environmentally friendly – Metal roofs are most often made from recycled material, which makes them environmentally friendly.
Lifetime longevity – Metal roofing can last for a lifetime which means that you don’t need to replace them. This is unlike the replacement needed for other types of roofs like flat roofs, etc.
The Miracle House is up and functional, and proves as a testament to its durability even in the harshest of calamities. Hiring the right metal roofers will ensure that your home can stand the test of time and extreme weather.
FAQs
1.      How often should I get my metal roof maintained?
An annual checkup of your metal roof is a must.
2.      Do you only install metal roofs?
Our metal roofers will journey with you from consulting the right kind of roof until project completion, and the final inspection.
3.      What is included in your annual metal roof maintenance services?
We will inspect your metal roof, check for damages, etc. We will conduct a thorough cleaning of the metal panes, clean the gutters and drains, repair minor scratches, and check for corrosion, among other checkups and cleanups from our end.

Tips For Evaluating Property Value - Appraisals and Comparative Analysis with George Bibb
Property value is an integral concept in real estate investment that affects all investors. Buyers in your market are willing to pay its fair value for your property.
Professional appraisers utilize an appraisal process that involves selecting properties like comps and then adjusting the subject property's value up or down accordingly.
1. Look at Similar Properties
Though certain factors, such as surrounding property values, are outside your control, you still can take steps to help your appraisal improve. These include increasing curb appeal, making minor repairs, and documenting upgrades. For instance, if you own an in-ground pool, consider including invoices from landscaping services, equipment installations, and any paint jobs covering 50% or more of the house as proof.
George Bibb illustrates that If the property you are evaluating is unique or located in a rural area, finding comparables may prove more difficult due to limited housing stock in these locations.
When selecting comparable properties, look for nearby properties with properties that share as many physical characteristics as possible with yours - similar size, age, and condition as your property, with comparable bedrooms/bathrooms/square footage, etc. Additionally, choose recently sold properties so that their sales price accurately indicates value.
Once you have identified comparables for your property, calculate its average cost per square foot by adding their sale prices and dividing by their square footage. Use this figure to ascertain its fair market value.
2. Look at the Location
Location is one of the main determinants of property value. An appraiser will look at things like whether or not the neighborhood is desirable and how close the subject property is to schools, jobs, and transportation links. Furthermore, proximity to amenities plays a large part, as buyers often pay more for properties that contain them.
An appraiser will also look at where the property stands relative to its neighbors, which helps determine its commuting time to work or school, saving people money on transportation costs each day.
According to George Bibb, location can also affect property value; people are generally willing to pay more for an address where their safety and maintenance needs can be taken care of than one that falls in a less desirable area.
If you have made improvements to your property, an appraiser will notice. This can lead to a higher appraisal value; adding a new roof or replacing old windows can greatly increase the value of your home. Be sure to document any upgrades made; this may come in handy should you ever decide to sell or use collateral against it as collateral.
3. Look at the Features
Property values can be established through comparative market analyses (CMA) or appraisals that compare your property to similar ones recently sold, also known as Comparative Market Analysis or Appraisals. When choosing comparables, make sure they share similar attributes like size and features as yours to ensure that comparisons are meaningful and find comparable sales prices more quickly.
George Bibb highlights that residential properties must take several key features into account when performing a CMA or appraisal, including the number and type of bedrooms/bathrooms, square footage, garage or basement space, and amenities like pools, hardwood floors, or kitchen upgrades into account. The more similar these features are, the better your CMA/appraisal.
Keep in mind that cost or price does not equal value. Cost refers to actual expenditures such as materials or labor; price refers to what people are willing to pay. For instance, if your neighbor's house features new roofing while yours doesn't, theirs would likely be valued higher than yours.
One approach to property valuation is looking at its replacement costs. This method involves finding average building costs of comparable properties and subtracting an amount for depreciation; this should only be used as an adjunct valuation method; its accuracy cannot compare to more effective means, such as appraising unique or rare properties.
4. Look at the Condition
Property valuation is essential in real estate, whether purchasing or selling a home, seeking financing, or appealing your property tax assessment. George Bibb elucidates that an appraisal objectively estimates its worth by considering both internal and external factors that affect it.
Internal factors that influence the value of a building include its condition, size, and amenities. For instance, having a pool can add great appeal and increase its price if well maintained; on the other hand, outdated features that trail behind comparable properties may decrease its worth significantly; structural issues and foul odors could even negatively affect its sale price.
When valuing commercial or multifamily properties, it is critical to assess their income-producing potential using financial calculations such as cap rate or ROI, as per George Bibb. Furthermore, current rental income, vacancy rates, and any capital improvements that might increase tenant attraction must also be considered.

The Ultimate Guide to Gutter Cleaning: Tips & Tricks
Imagine a beautiful sunny day, and you're enjoying a cup of coffee on your porch when suddenly you hear a loud splash of water. You look up and see water overflowing from your gutters, cascading down the side of your house. This is a clear sign that your gutters are clogged and need cleaning.
Gutter cleaning is an essential task that often goes unnoticed until it's too late. This guide aims to educate you on the importance of gutter cleaning Melbourne and provide you with valuable tips and tricks to clean them effectively. By following these guidelines, you'll be able to maintain a healthy home and prevent costly damage caused by clogged gutters.
Understanding Gutter Cleaning:
What are Gutters?
Gutters are an integral part of your home's drainage system. They are typically made of metal or plastic and are installed along the edges of your roof to collect rainwater and direct it away from your foundation. Gutters protect your home from water damage by preventing water from pooling around the foundation, which can lead to cracks, mould growth, and other structural problems.
Regular Maintenance is Key
Just like any other part of your home, gutters require regular maintenance to function properly. Neglecting gutter cleaning in Melbourne can result in a myriad of problems that can significantly impact the health and integrity of your home.
Why Clean Gutters Matter
Potential Issues Caused by Clogged Gutters
Clogged gutters can lead to a host of problems that can wreak havoc on your home. When gutters are clogged with leaves, twigs, and other debris, water cannot flow freely, causing it to overflow. This overflow can damage your home in several ways:
Water Damage: When water overflows from clogged gutters, it can seep into your walls, causing water damage and potentially leading to mould growth. Mould not only poses health risks but can also be expensive to remediate.
Foundation Problems: Excess water around your home's foundation can lead to cracks and instability. Over time, this can compromise the structural integrity of your home, resulting in costly repairs.
Pest Infestation: Clogged gutters provide an ideal breeding ground for pests, such as mosquitoes and termites. These pests can not only be a nuisance but can also cause further damage to your home.
DIY Gutter Cleaning Tips & Tricks:
Safety First
Before embarking on your gutter cleaning adventure, it's essential to prioritise safety. Here are a few simple tips to keep in mind:
Use a sturdy ladder: Ensure your ladder is stable and positioned on a flat surface. If possible, have someone hold the ladder for added security.
Wear protective gear: Gloves and safety goggles are essential when cleaning gutters. Gloves protect your hands from sharp debris, while goggles shield your eyes from dust and potential projectiles.
Tools You'll Need
To effectively clean your gutters, you'll need a few essential tools. These include:
Gloves: Sturdy gloves will protect your hands from debris and sharp edges.
Scoop or trowel: A scoop or trowel is handy for removing leaves, twigs, and other debris from your gutters.
Garden hose: A garden hose with a spray nozzle attachment will help flush out remaining debris and unclog downspouts.
Step-by-step Gutter Cleaning Process
1. Preparation
Before you start cleaning your gutters, it's important to prepare the area. Remove any debris from the surrounding areas, such as leaves or branches, to prevent them from falling into your gutters during the cleaning process.
2. Removing Debris
Using a scoop or trowel, carefully remove the debris from your gutters. Start at one end and work your way towards the downspout. Dispose of the debris in a compost pile or yard waste bag.
3. Flushing and Unclogging
After removing the larger debris, use a garden hose with a spray nozzle attachment to flush out any remaining dirt and unclog the downspouts. Start from the end farthest from the downspout and work your way towards it. This will ensure that any loosened debris is pushed out of the downspout.
Preventative Measures
To prevent future clogs and reduce the frequency of gutter cleaning, consider installing gutter guards or mesh screens. These devices prevent leaves and larger debris from entering your gutters while still allowing water to flow freely.
Hiring Professional Gutter Cleaning Services:
Benefits of Hiring Professionals
While cleaning your gutters yourself can save you money, there are certain situations where hiring professionals may be more beneficial. Professional gutter cleaners have the expertise and equipment to clean your gutters, ensuring they function optimally thoroughly. Additionally, hiring professionals saves you time and effort, allowing you to focus on other tasks.
Gutter Cleaning Cost Melbourne
The gutter cleaning cost in Melbourne varies depending on several factors, including the size of your home, the level of debris, and the location. It's best to contact several service providers and compare quotes to find the most reasonable price for your specific needs.
Conclusion:
Regular gutter cleaning in Melbourne is crucial for maintaining a healthy and structurally sound home. By understanding the importance of clean gutters and following the DIY tips and tricks provided in this guide, you'll be able to effectively clean your gutters and prevent costly damage in the long run. Whether you choose to tackle this task yourself or hire professionals, remember to prioritize gutter maintenance for the well-being of your home. So grab your gloves, climb that ladder, and let's get those gutters sparkling clean!

10 Ways to Repair a Roofing Leakage
Introduction
Welcome to our comprehensive guide on repairing roofing leakages, where we'll walk you through ten roof waterproofing methods to address this common issue. A leaking roof can be a homeowner's nightmare, but fear not – we've got you covered with effective solutions that will not only fix the problem but also ensure long-term durability.
1. Identifying the Source
The first step in tackling a roofing leakage is pinpointing the exact source. This involves a meticulous inspection, checking for damaged shingles, cracked flashing, or compromised seals around vents. An in-depth assessment allows us to address the root cause, ensuring a lasting repair.
2. Emergency Patching
For immediate relief, consider emergency patching. Utilize high-quality roofing cement or a reliable sealant to seal the leak temporarily. This quick fix can prevent further water damage until a more permanent solution is implemented.
3. Replacing Damaged Shingles
Damaged or missing shingles are a common culprit for roof leaks. Replace any compromised shingles promptly to maintain the integrity of your roof. Ensure that the replacements match the existing shingles in both material and color for a seamless look.
4. Flawless Flashing Repair
Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can degrade over time, leading to leaks. Inspect the flashing for cracks or gaps, and reseal or replace as needed. Quality flashing repair ensures water-tight seals in vulnerable areas of your roof.
5. Sealing Leaky Skylights
Skylights add beauty to a home but can pose a risk for leaks. Check for gaps or cracks in the sealant around skylights and apply a fresh layer to prevent water infiltration. Proper sealing guarantees a leak-free skylight that enhances natural light without compromising your roof's integrity.
6. Gutter Maintenance
Clogged or damaged gutters can contribute to roof leaks by preventing proper water drainage. Regularly clean and inspect gutters, removing debris and ensuring they are securely attached. Well-maintained gutters are essential for diverting water away from your roof, preventing potential leaks.
7. Professional Roof Inspection
While DIY repairs are effective, nothing beats the expertise of a professional roof inspection. Schedule regular assessments by certified roofing experts to identify potential issues before they escalate. Timely interventions can save you from costly repairs down the line.
8. Applying Roof Sealant
Invest in a high-quality roof sealant to fortify vulnerable areas against water penetration. Apply the sealant to seams, vents, and other potential leak points. This proactive measure enhances your roof's water resistance, providing an extra layer of protection against leaks.
9. Installing a Leak Barrier
Consider installing a leak barrier beneath your roofing material for added protection. This self-adhering membrane acts as an extra shield against water infiltration, especially in areas prone to heavy rainfall. A leak barrier is a proactive solution that safeguards your roof against potential leaks.
10. Regular Roof Maintenance
Prevention is key to avoiding roofing leaks. Implement a routine maintenance schedule, including inspections, cleaning, and minor repairs. Proactively addressing issues ensures the longevity of your roof and minimizes the risk of leaks.
Conclusion
In conclusion, repairing a roofing leakage requires a systematic approach, from identifying the source to implementing long-lasting solutions. By following these ten foolproof methods, you can confidently address roof leaks and safeguard your home from water damage.

Comprehensive Guide to Sagging Ceiling Repair in Perth

A sagging ceiling can be an indicator of underlying structural problems or water damage, and it's crucial to address it promptly to prevent further deterioration. In this comprehensive guide, we, as experts in ceiling repair and restoration, will provide you with valuable insights on sagging ceiling repair in Perth.
Understanding the Causes of Sagging Ceilings
Before we delve into the repair process, it's essential to understand what causes ceilings to sag. By identifying the root cause, you can effectively address the issue.
1. Water Damage
One of the primary culprits behind sagging ceilings is water damage. In Perth, where heavy rainfall is not uncommon, water leaks can infiltrate your home's structure, weakening the ceiling over time. This issue can occur in both older and newer homes.
2. Structural Issues
Structural problems within your home, such as inadequate support beams or foundation issues, can also lead to a sagging ceiling. These issues are often more common in older homes, but they can affect newer constructions as well.
3. Poor Workmanship
Sometimes, shoddy construction work during the initial building process can result in a sagging ceiling. This can include subpar installation of drywall or insufficient support for the ceiling.
The Sagging Ceiling Repair Process
Now that we've explored the possible causes, let's move on to the steps involved in repairing a sagging ceiling in Perth.
1. Inspection and Assessment
The first and most crucial step in the repair process is a thorough inspection and assessment of the damage. Our team of experts will examine the ceiling to determine the extent of the sagging and identify any underlying issues. This step is crucial in devising an effective repair plan.
2. Water Damage Mitigation
If water damage is the primary cause of the sagging ceiling, it's essential to address the source of the leak before proceeding with repairs. This may involve roof repairs, fixing plumbing issues, or sealing any openings that allow water to infiltrate your home.
3. Structural Reinforcement
In cases where structural issues are contributing to the sagging, our team will implement necessary reinforcements. This could include adding support beams or addressing any foundation problems that may be affecting the ceiling's stability.
4. Ceiling Restoration
Once the underlying issues have been resolved, we will proceed with the actual ceiling restoration. This typically involves replacing damaged drywall, ensuring proper support, and applying a smooth finish. Our goal is to restore your ceiling to its original condition, both in terms of appearance and structural integrity.
5. Paint and Finish
After the structural and restoration work is complete, we'll finish the job by painting and ensuring a seamless blend with the rest of your interior. This final step not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also provides an added layer of protection.
