SALT LAKE CITY While spring may be the season for cleaning up around the house in Utah, summer is the unofficial remodeling season for many Utah homeowners.

Whether it's adding a room or upgrading an already existing space, making the decision to invest in home improvements can be especially important, particularly as it relates to home values.

Experts advise homeowners to compare the construction costs of individual projects to estimates of their resale value. In Utah, the top projects include upgrading a bathroom, adding a new deck or a garage addition.

Some other improvements are popular, but seldom yield high resale value, according to Angie Nelden, president of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors.

Adding new high efficient windows can help save money on energy conservation, but dont offer homeowners the same kind of return on investment that a kitchen or bathroom renovation would, she said.

For a minor kitchen remodel, the (homeowner) gets 82.7 percent recouped, Nelden said. However, window replacement recoups about 65 percent. And basement remodels also very common recoup about 78 percent, she noted.

Homeowners, she said, should put the most money into the areas that will get them the most return if they decide to sell. Taking that approach is usually money well spent.

Tips for controlling clutter

Whether it's a separate room, a corner of the kitchen or a desk in the guest room, one challenge of having a home office is keeping it neat and tidy. It's still a part of the house and not everyone wants to see stacks, piles and clutter.

Here are some tips for staying organized from Emily Davis and Cara Applegate of Ducks in a Row Organizing in Charleston:

Add decorated baskets or bins under your desk for storing supplies and work information.

Make use of vertical wall space by adding shelves for more storage space and add matching boxes or bins to house your supplies and paper. Use wall-mounted calendars, file storage containers and magnetic or cork boards to help in vertical organization.

Designate specific places for all of your paper: a file or binder system or keep it electronically.

Try to get rid of as much paper as possible. You probably don't need everything you have.

Use websites and apps such as Evernote to help you organize your emails, documents and lists.

Use Dropbox to electronically share and update documents with clients or coworkers.

Taking your work home: Personal touches, creative storage add to home office functionality

SIOUX CITY | Ben Catus, station manager for Morningside College's student-run KMSC-FM, likes to think he represents the eyes and ears of the campus.

Unfortunately, the radio station's temporary digs aren't equipped with a window for Catus to actually see outside of his broadcast booth.

"It feels weird to be on the air in this tiny room," Catus said, as he sat inside the makeshift Lewis Hall studio that was formerly used for storage by the Spanish Department. "It feels closed-off at times."

Since June, KMSC has been broadcasting a few buildings away from its longtime Hickman-Johnson-Furrow Learning Center home.

The change in locale is because of remodeling being done inside of the Learning Center as well as the ongoing construction of two neighboring buildings, which will soon house new classrooms and an expanded advising center.

The $13 million project is expected to be complete by fall.

Dave Madsen, head of the college Mass Communications Department, said he chose Lewis Hall as KMSC's alternate site because the station's transmitter happens to be on the roof of the building. Madsen admits the control booth -- which has no air conditioning and is cooled solely by two small fans -- is far from ideal.

"We're basically broadcasting from inside of a closet," he admitted.

Once the Learning Center remodeling is complete, Catus will return to the old studio.

Still, the station's afternoon DJ is making the most of the situation.
