Move into the outdoors with wood furniture COURTESY OF METROCONNECTION

(MS) — It’s time to think about the “lazy days of summerâ€? and create a comfortable, attractive outdoor living area that reflects your family’s lifestyle. Consider dĂŠcor featuring wood furniture that you build yourself, using advice and products from Woodcraft. Or, if you already have wood furniture, let Woodcraft help you give it a new look — maybe distressed or antiqued or a brand-new color. Furniture Options Woodcraft offers nearly three dozen building plans for the popular Adirondack chair in several individual styles, as well as a rocker, loveseat, folding, twin adjustable, chaise lounge, child size, and footstools. Adirondack chair templates are also available. Other outdoor seating plans include Tudor style chairs, folding sling chairs and porch and folding patio rockers. Picnic table-bench combo plans include the traditional shape and an octagonal version, while bench plans feature seats with and without backs/arms in various styles such as Tudor, Lutyens, English, and arched. Traditional porch swing plans come in several styles, some with frames for yard use. Glider plans are also available. Other plans include a tree seat, garden trellises, a footbridge, birdhouses, and a camp kitchen. Tools & Products to Build (Or Repair) Once you have selected a rotresistant wood, such as cypress, cedar, locust or white oak, the 7.0 amp variable-speed Bosch Barrel Grip Jigsaw with a tool-less blade-change system will make cutting chores easy. Keep a work surface handy with the 30" x 24" lightweight, portable QuikBENCH equipped with a vise, a 15-amp, three-outlet power strip and four bench dogs. Add more benches for a larger surface. To join the furniture pieces, Kreg Jig HD Starter Kit will do the job using pocket-hole joinery. The Kreg JigÂŽ HD is made to work with 11â „2" and thicker material to build outdoor furniture, fences, trellises, and more. Kreg JigÂŽ HD Screws are #14 hardened-steel screws with a Protec-Kote™ finish that

has three anti-corrosion layers. Other tools, supplies and hardware that come in handy for furniture projects include: • Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue for interior and exterior use is waterproof (not for use under water), cleans up with water, has an eight-minute open assembly time, and offers an application temperature as low as 47°F. • Chappell Universal Stainless Steel Square combines a center rule and a bench square. • eTape16 Digital Tape Measure features a readout in 1â „16" and 1mm increments and easy conversion to feet, inches and fractions. • The new Festool TXS Compact Drill Driver Set is lightweight but powerful and can reach into tight spots easily. • The lightweight, compact Grex GC1850 Cordless 2", 18-gauge Brad Nailer features an all-metal robust construction with the power to sink 2" 18-gauge brad nails into 2" red oak. • Combo Adjustable Adirondack Chair Hardware works for the

complementary Adirondack Plan Value Pack that includes three furniture plans. • HIGHPOINT XT Square Drive Woodworking Screws, Flathead, 100piece packs offer almost twice the torque values of other screws. • Glider Bracket Hardware fits most gliders and can be used to replace old worn or broken brackets typically used in outdoor gliders. • Glider Rocker Bearing Kit includes low-speed steel bearings with a smooth bore that will fit a standard 3â „8" bolt. Bearings will retrofit to most any glider rockers for easy repair. Finishing Selecting a finish offers the opportunity to customize furniture for your family’s tastes and lifestyle. Color and special effects options are the “toolsâ€? for this creative endeavor. • For removing finish when refinishing furniture, Blue Bear Paint and Urethane Stripper (Soy Gel) is a good choice because it has no known health hazards, is virtually odorless and

How to approach buying a pool or spa COURTESY OF METROCONNECTION

Many homeowners feel pools or spas are musthave features as they attempt to turn their homes in their own personal oases. The decision to get a pool or a hot tub is not one to take lightly. Significant purchases, pools and/or spas can affect the value of a home and also require various safety modifications. Taking a thoughtful approach when considering adding pools and/or spas to their homes can help homeowners rest easy knowing they made the right decision. • Do your research first. When making any decision, it’s best to be well-informed. Read reviews on products and find out the base prices of certain pool models so you’ll have a system of comparison. Choose the type and size of pool you want. Other factors, such as the material used in the pool (i.e., concrete, metal, fiberglass, or vinyl) and filtration methods, also can affect the price, so consider each of these factors carefully before making your decision. • Determine why you want a pool or spa. The type of pool or spa you ultimately choose should depend on how you plan to use the pool. If you want a pool mainly for family entertainment, then you may want to add mood lighting or special landscaping features. If you simply want something in which you can cool off, a basic model may be most practical. If your spa is intended for therapeutic purposes, look for ones with multipositional water jets or other specialized

features. Don’t fall into the trap that a large pool with a deep diving area is best. Young children and many adults do not frequently use the deep end, and you may end up with wasted pool space. • Find a good time to buy. Fall and winter are some of the best times to get deals on pool and spa equipment because it’s no longer prime swimming season. However, there are deals to be had come early spring as well. Retailers may deeply discount last year’s models to make room for new inventory. You always can negotiate if the price is just a bit beyond your reach. Retailers may be motivated to make sales in the offseason, so try to use that motivation to your advantage. • Recognize there will be extra costs. Some retailers sell pools and spas but do not arrange for installation. Realize that an inground pool will require excavation, and your yard may need to be regraded to allow for rain run-off. Electricians and landscapers are some additional costs to factor in. Make sure you understand the bigger picture and account for the total cost of modifying the yard. • Inquire about insurance. Speak with the pool installer about any liability and compensation insurance they may carry to protect you in the event of an accident during the installation of the pool. Reputable builders should be fully insured. • Learn about zoning laws and other ordinances. Rules regarding pool placement and size will vary

depending on local laws. Always consult with the town’s municipal office and get the proper permits. Otherwise, you may face fines and be forced to spend more to fix problems that need to be addressed. Pools can be entertaining additions to a home. When considering the addition of a pool to their properties, homeowners should take their time and make sure it’s the right decision for them.

Make your bathroom a retreat for holistic living (BPT) - In holistic living, all things are interconnected, which means home design has a big influence on health and wellness. One room where every household member can benefit from the art of holistic living is the bathroom. With some strategic upgrades to the decor, fixtures and appliances, it's easy to transform a bland space into a grand oasis of relaxation within the home. The power of color - Studies show certain colors can enhance energy and mood, while others are known for their calming qualities. For example, people go to a spa for rest and relaxation, and you'll notice many are colored in blues, browns, greens or deep reds. You won't traditionally find bright colors, which would be too energetic for a place of respite. So for your bathroom remodel, select colors that soothe to begin your healthy home transformation. Comfort you can feel - In the bathroom, quality towels, bath rugs and flooring are must-have components of a well-rounded holistic space. You'll know you are giving yourself and your family the best when you upgrade these items to high-quality organic or natural fabrics and materials. Some in-demand upgrades to make your bathroom an upscale indulgence include heated flooring and towel warmers so you never need to experience a chill after a deep soak. Relaxation you want to experience - Take "me time" to a whole new level when you install the DTV+ advanced showering system developed by Kohler. It has pre-programmed spa experiences that target well-being, relaxation and energy developed by Kohler's Waters Spa, so you know you're getting a true spa experience right at home. The DTV+ has a touch screen interface allowing you to control and customize every feature. Plus, this shower is so digitally advanced, it can control two different water temperatures simultaneously, allowing you to treat a sore muscle with cold water while keeping the rest of you warm with another valve of hot water. Soothing qualities you can hear Complete the holistic bathroom experience by adding relaxing music. Pre-program your sound system with classical, Eastern, meditation or nature-style music to help you escape the grind. As you're planning your bathroom redesign, install speakers to create a surround-sound experience,

especially in the shower area. Set it up for wireless control, in case you decide you need to change what's playing in

the middle of your shower. The DTV+ is intuitive and consistent with today's popular digital devices, allowing you to

interface with up to three devices, funneling your music through your shower.

Transform your home today, stay safe tomorrow (BPT) - While many can only dream of the day they'll retire, for baby boomers, that dream is quickly becoming a reality. By the year 2030, approximately 20 percent of Americans are expected to be age 65 or older, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. But retirement doesn't necessarily mean relocating to a senior community. More and more, adults choose to "age in place," remaining in their current home, even after retirement. Here are a few ways to add extra convenience today - and ensure a safe home in the future. Change up common areas When thinking about the long-term, start with the layout. In a perfect world, it's ideal to have all the key living spaces - bathroom, kitchen and bedroom on the first floor. If your home wasn't built with a first-floor bedroom or bath, and stairs have to be a part of your plan, install no-slip strips on the edge of each stair to help limit trips and falls. Next, make sure there's plenty of room to move. Aim for doorways that are at least 32 inches wide, though 36 inches is ideal. Tight corners and doorways are a challenge for those with walkers or canes. For stress-free opening and closing, change out door handles from traditional knobs to lever handles for an easier grip. Then, focus on the flooring. Installing carpeting can provide warmth and cushioning for you to enjoy now, and offers an added element of safety when it might be harder for you to maneuver around in the future. Choose a low pile carpet to minimize tripping - too much shag is a safety hazard. Area rugs are a major no-no, as unsecured rugs and loose carpet are one of the main causes for slips and falls. If you can't bear the thought of losing your area rug, use

carpet tape to secure it firmly to the floor. Boost the bath If you can only update one place in your home, make it the bathroom. The bathroom typically offers the most opportunities for injury. In fact, roughly 234,000 injuries occur annually in the bathroom alone, as stated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. An easy way to incorporate safety is to install grab bars. Today's grab bars are stylish, fitting in seamlessly with your space, rather than seeming obtrusive and

sterile. Install them near the toilet, (make sure you have a comfort-height commode for easy sitting and standing) as well as in the shower. Some models, like the corner shelf with grab bar from Moen, pull double duty adding an element of additional storage you can take advantage of immediately, providing room to store your shampoo, and will help keep you safe while entering and exiting the bath. Check out retailers like Lowes for a wide array of options that are fashionable as well as functional. In the shower, a handheld showerhead, like the Magnetix Engage showerhead from Moen, is an

ideal option for those who may want to be seated while they bathe. Engage with Magnetix is also handy for cleaning the shower, by eliminating bending and squatting which can be hard on your joints as you age. Finally, at the vanity, choose a faucet with lever handles - they're easiest to grip and turn - and install sconces near the mirror for additional lighting. In general, the most important advice for any room in your home is to think efficiently. Locate items that work together near each other to make tasks easier today, tomorrow and in the years to come.

Plan ahead for eco-friendly landscapes

Maximize fall and winter energy savings with simple tips

COURTESY OF METROCONNECTION

Eco-friendly landscapes can protect the environment and help homeowners save money. While it’s possible to alter landscapes during summer, it’s easier and more cost-effective to plan ahead for ecofriendly landscapes. Planning ahead can ensure homeowners that their lawns and gardens conserve water throughout the spring and summer. Such planning can save homeowners substantial amounts of money when summer temperatures rise and put a strain on lawns, plants and gardens that need more water than usual. Homeowners who want their landscapes to thrive while benefitting the environment can take the following steps as lawn and garden season approaches. • Research native plants. Native plants typically require considerably less water than exotic plants that do not naturally grow in particular areas. In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that native plants have adapted to local soil conditions, making them less likely to need fertilizer and more resistant to pests and diseases than nonnative plants. That resistance saves homeowners from having to use potentially harmful pesticides. • Design smart. When designing your landscape layout, group plants according to how much or how little water they need. This prevents overwatering plants that do not need much water, which can harm the plant and lead to unnecessary water waste, and ensures plants that do need substantial amounts of water have those needs met. • Consider the elements. When planting, consider how much natural sunlight each area of the yard gets before planting. Plants planted in areas that are especially exposed to the sun may require extra waterering, as the hot summer sun can cause water to evaporate, depriving plants of the water they need to thrive. In addition to the sun, wind can

divert water meant for plants and grass, so plant appropriately in areas that are exposed to sun and wind. • Work with a professional. Professional landscapers and landscape architects can be invaluable resources for homeowners who want their properties to be as eco-friendly as possible. The desire for eco-friendly landscapes has risen in recent years, and many professional landscapers and architects are familiar with various ways to make lawns and gardens more environmentally friendly. Eco-friendly landscaping is a wise investment for homeowners who want to help the planet and save money at the same time. Planning to make such an investment in advance of spring and summer is a great way to produce a beautiful and eco-friendly landscape.

(MS) — By Scott McGillivray As temperatures decrease during the fall and winter months, energy usage and costs tend to climb. These five energy-saving tips for your home will ensure the comfort of your family and your wallet. 1. Adjust your thermostat. Lower the heat on your thermostat while you are away from home and before you go to bed. Better yet, invest in a programmable thermostat so you don’t have to give it a second thought. 2. Seal gaps around windows and doors. Cracks and gaps around windows and doors can let cold drafts into your home. Weather-stripping or caulking will seal these problem areas and keep your home warmer, without having to turn up the heat. 3. Insulate well to protect your home from the cold. Add insulation to your basement walls, headers or attic to make a noticeable difference in the temperature of your home and its energy consumption. A mineral wool product specifically designed for thermal performance, such as Roxul Comfortbatt, is ideal. This type of batt insulation will also provide protection from fire, moisture and unwanted noise. Adding insulation is one of the simplest and most-cost effective ways to increase home energy efficiency. 4. Make use of natural sources of heat. Pull back your curtains to let natural light in. The sun can help to warm a room with its rays on a bright fall or winter day. If there are any large windows in your home that don’t receive much sunlight, keep the curtains closed to form a barrier from the cold. 5. Use ceiling fans to your advantage. In the winter, set the fan to rotate clockwise. The blades will pull the air up and around, redirecting warm air that rises back down into the living space. The effect can help you lower your thermostat by two degrees in the winter. While cutting back on energy may seem more challenging as the weather gets colder, it doesn’t have to be. There are many no- or low-cost methods to conserve energy that can provide consistent savings over time.
