Have you ever noticed that some homes look brand new after an interior paint job, while others look like an old house with fresh paint? If you're considering adding your house to the inventories of Coon Rapid homes for sale or Detroit Lakes homes for sale or sprucing up a new place yourself, you can achieve that pristine appearance yourself by following a few simple tips. 

• Protect the Space
  Cover floor and furniture that can't be moved out so that you aren't constantly chasing messy drips as you work. Plastic works well for furniture and electronics but is dangerously slippery underfoot. Use canvas drop cloths for maximum protection of flooring. Assemble rags and other supplies in a convenient place, including painter's tape, trowels, and edger tools. Make sure you have a clear path to running water and a clean bucket of water for rollers and brushes.

   Size is a vital consideration for washers and dryers as you don't want units that are too big for the available space. Measure the space in your home to compare against the measurements of potential models. Also, plan for at least 6 inches behind the appliances for water and venting hookups and 2 to 3 inches if you plan to keep the washer and dryer separate. A stacking pair is ideal when you're tight on space.

• Sugar Glider
  Sugar gliders are one of the most popular unconventional pets. While they're small and can be kept in a cage like a hamster or a gerbil, they are actually marsupials and can live for 10-15 years. These intelligent and social animals like lots of interaction with their humans and have similar requirements as other caged animals. Because of their social natures, they also get separation anxiety when kept by themselves, so should be adopted in pairs.
