How to Get Free Money to Remodel Your HomeIn Feburary 2016 19,
In Feburary 2016 19,
Decide which areas of your house need remodeling or upgrading. (You get the most value out of kitchen and bath remodeling.) Write down the appliances that you want to replace. Think about windows, doors, insulation, air conditioning, water heaters, roof, weather-stripping and other areas of your home that need work. Does your kitchen need a new refrigerator, oven, dishwasher? How about your bathrooms? Can you use a new toilet or shower head? The government and your utility companies are more than happy to encourage you with money to buy more energy efficient appliances and fixtures in those areas.
Before you buy anything, check the government website to see the details and links to the products that qualify for credits. www.energystar.gov/taxcredits (See link below.) Make sure if you purchase a product on their list, you have the correct model and make. Not all Energy Star products qualify. If you buy the right brand, but the wrong model number number, you will not be getting any free money.
Now check with your local utility company for any rebate programs that might currently be in the works for kitchen appliances and bathroom toilets, shower heads and faucets. To find them online, type in the name of your utility company (the name is on your utility bills) and the word 'rebates' to a search engine like Google. (For example: I typed: Southern California Edison Rebates. Look for products that you were hoping to replace and copy down the manufacturer names and model numbers of the ones that qualify for rebates.
Next check your state government website for rebates and credits that will put money back in your pocket. To find them, do an internet search using your state and the words 'government' and 'rebates.' For example, I typed 'California government rebates.' Such a search brought up California's energy efficient appliance rebate program. Read through your state's rebate programs and write down the appliances and systems that qualify for rebates so when you go to the store, you can look at the products that will earn you money to remodel and upgrade your home.
Sometimes it might seem more cost effective to buy a lower priced appliance than the ones offered for tax credit or rebate. But be sure to factor in the energy savings of running the appliance and the value that you've added to your home before you make a decision. For example, a dishwasher with a rebate may cost $1,000, while a dishwasher with no rebate may cost $500. If the rebate gives you $350 back and you save $50 a year in energy costs, in 3 years you will be saving an extra $50 every year.
If you have a low income, you might be eligible for help from the Federal Weatherization Assistance Program which provides free of charge upgrades like sealing air leaks. You can find out if you qualify by calling the hotline at 800-363-3732.

Sign up for a free website host and sub-domain with a website that allows you to enter your own codes for your site. The host must accept HTML and JavaScript. Examples of sites that allow these codes and provide free hosting and sub-domains are Bravenet and Webs.
Set up your website with a template, the title of your store, a description, and any other relevant information. Save your website.
Visit the PayPal website. Click 'Sign Up' below the login form. Select a Premier or Business account. Choose the business account only if you are operating under a group name (organization) or business. If you already have a PayPal account, move to step four.
Enter in all of the required information including your email, password, first and last name, birth date, address and phone number. The phone number must be valid. Read the User Agreement and Privacy Policy by clicking on the two links at the bottom of the form. Click 'Agree and Create Account.'
Confirm your email address. Check your email and click on the confirmation link sent by PayPal. If the link is not click-able, copy and paste it into your address bar.
Sign into your PayPal account. Click on the 'Merchant Services' tab and click the 'Add to Cart Button.'
Edit the information required. Under the 'Accept payments for' area, click the drop-down menu and select what you'll be selling. This could include products, services, subscriptions or gift certificates. Decide whether or not your customers will be able to purchase more than one item. If you're only selling a single item, you will only need a 'Buy Now' button. If you're selling multiple items, you will need an 'Add to Cart' button. Select the option that best fits your store.
Enter the name of the item you are selling and enter an item ID if there is one available. Otherwise, leave the ID area blank. Enter the price of the item and select the currency. If the item you're selling may come in different styles, sizes, or colors and there is a separate price for different designs, leave the price area blank and in the Customize Button box, click 'Add drop-down menu with price/option.' Enter the details of each different design or style and enter the prices.
Type in the amount the customer will be required to pay for shipping and select the currency. Enter the tax rate in the next box. Click on 'Secure Merchant Account ID' to keep your email address secure from your customers.
Click the 'Step 2' area under the form. Check the box that asks if you'd like to have a 'Save Button.' This will protect your buttons from fraudulent changes and allow you to create similar buttons and edit the ones you've made. Select the 'Track Inventory' box to get alerts when your inventory is low. Fill out the item ID, the number of items in stock, and the number of items you should have in the inventory before you're alerted.
Select the 'Track Profit and Loss' box if you'd like to see your profit or losses from your customers' transactions. Enter the cost of the item to keep track of the losses or gains. Choose whether you'd like to allow customers to buy an item even if it's sold out. Enter the URL of the page where you'd like your customer to land after they've clicked 'Continue Shopping.'
Click 'Step 3' under the second form. Customize your check-out page. Choose whether your customer can provide you with special instructions about the item they are purchasing. Choose whether you'd like to see your customers' shipping address and enter a URL where customers will land if they cancel their order, and the URL of a page they should see after a successful checkout. Add advanced variables if you are an advanced user.
Click 'Create Button.' Copy and paste the code onto your website. The button should show up on your page. Add images to these buttons in your website code.
Repeat steps 6 through 13 for every item that you would like to add to your store.
Save your website and preview it. Customers should now be able to purchase items from your PayPal store through your website.
