When you are a homeowner, there is usually always something to do.

Things need fixing and maintaining, and there always tend to be new aspects to add or change – and this is not always a bad thing. While constant changes might be too much, ensuring that you are keeping your home up-to-date and in a good condition is a very sound idea. It’s just about knowing where to start.

Get the help you need
As a home owner in Denmark, it is good to be aware of your options when it comes to ‘renovering af hus’. Much can be done yourself, but unless you are a craftsman, there will usually be some areas that will require assistance.

First and foremost, it can be helpful to have an expert take a look at your home before you decide exactly what you want to renovate … and how. You will most likely focus on a certain area of your house, but sometimes an expert will be able to bring new ideas to the table.

They might reveal that the floor or the ceiling is in need of renovation, while you’re focus may have been on the bathroom.

Another big advantage of seeking expert renovation help is freeing yourself of the really annoying tasks. If you are undertaking a significant housing renovation project, co-ordinating the effort can easily end up being very time consuming. In other words, it can be a good idea to leave this to professionals. This way you can also rest assured that everything will be done correctly.

Improve the value
There are several advantages to renovation – one being getting a nicer house to live in. Living in a house with modern features improves home life, so if you have plans to continue living in your current house, a renovation can be seen as an investment in your own comfort.

Another considerable advantage of renovation is that it increases the value of the property.

Aside from boosting the overall value of the house, renovations also help maintain property value. If you buy a house and live in it for 20 years without doing anything to renew it, you will most likely experience that it becomes less valuable than when you bought it – taking inflation into account.

So, there are plenty of good reasons to make sure your house is kept up-to-date and in a good shape. You provide yourself with a better home to live in, and the house becomes far more attractive for potential new owners in the future.

That’s a win-win.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
