Article by JENNIFER KING jennifer.king@albanyherald.com

ocated in the popular Hickory Grove subdivision in Lee County, this week’s featured home is gorgeous inside and out! Situated on nearly an acre lot, this impressive four bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home is surrounded by beautiful landscaping. A driveway leads to the front of the home where there is a double garage to the left. The front entrance is covered.

Upon entering, you are greeted by warm hardwood flooring in a traditional foyer. These hardwoods run throughout the dining room and living room as well.

To the left of the foyer is a formal

dining room with judges panels on the lower portion of the walls. A trey ceiling adds an impressive accent to the space, and a tiered chandelier hangs at its center. Plantation shutters adorn the sunny window.

Straight ahead of the foyer is a grand living room with a 16-foot trey ceiling. The focal point of this space is the fireplace, which is flanked by decorative built-ins. Multiple windows at the rear of the room allow natural light to flow freely. Each window features plantation shutters, and both the windows and doors feature pediments overhead.

The home’s huge kitchen contains beautiful custom cabinets, granite countertops, and sleek stainless steel appliances. A center island provides additional food prep area, and a raised breakfast bar provides casual dining space. Tiled floors flow from the kitchen into the breakfast nook, which overlooks the backyard through a double window topped with an arched window. A doorway in the breakfast nook leads out to the covered patio and large wooden deck.

The luxurious master suite features a decorative trey ceiling, sitting area, private bath, and two walk-in closets.

Inside the master bathroom, you will find a jetted tub, separate tiled shower, and two vanities (one with a makeup area).

Two additional bedrooms are located on the main floor, and a fourth bedroom can be found upstairs. The upstairs bedroom features a walk-in closet and a half bath.

The backyard is fenced, and there is a ton of outdoor entertaining space!

Achieve the ideal sound experience at home COURTESY OF METROCONNECTION

(MS) — Advancements in digital technology over the years mean that almost anyone can own a home theatre or music room or build a recording studio in their home. When you’re planning your project, there are a number of elements that will make the difference between good and great sound.

Just like in real estate, location is crucial, so finding the best space within your home will be vital. You want to find a place that will provide ample room, comfortable temperatures and easy access. A room with windows is fine, as long as they are double glazed, sealed correctly and don’t open. Be sure to install a heavy, well-insulated door to prevent sound leakage.

Insulation is among the most critical steps in creating an ideal sound experience. Many professionals recommend Safe’n’Sound insulation produced by Roxul. Specially designed for your home’s interior walls, ceilings and floors to reduce the transfer of noise from one room to another, this high-density stone wool insulation provides an excellent acoustic barrier that effectively absorbs sound. Its nondirectional fiber structure composition, density and friction-fit prevent any gaps and combat airborne noise such as music, speech and traffic sounds.

Sound can often echo and reverberate. Sound dampening measures such as carpeting can help alleviate the problem or you can purchase acoustic panels that prevent sound reflections throughout your room. With basic DIY skills, you can also simply and affordably construct your own acoustic panels, using stone wool rigid board called Comfortboard IS, which is effective at reducing the intensity and propagation of noise.

Insulating properly will help achieve optimal sound quality. It will also allow you to get the most of your space without disturbing the rest of your family or neighbors. All that’s left is to turn up your tunes and enjoy.

Consider moisture issues when choosing insulation COURTESY OF METROCONNECTION

(MS) — By Scott McGillivray We insulate our homes primarily to keep them warm in the winter and cool in the summer. As a result, most of us evaluate insulation based on its thermal properties, which is definitely important to consider. However, there is another aspect of wall and ceiling insulation that should be considered before making a final decision, and that’s moisture. If you choose the wrong insulation, moisture can seriously damage the long-term performance of the insulation, drastically reducing the benefits it offers to your home.

Although wall and ceiling cavities may be out of sight after a home is built, they are very important spaces in residential construction and remodeling projects. They play a critical role in managing the interior temperature, noise level, air-flow and mold levels. It is important that the insulation in the walls and ceilings works just as well years after installation as it does the day after the project is completed. This

means that the insulation needs to stay consistent over time –– any sagging, compressing or rotting will compromise the safety and comfort of your home.

To combat these potential problems, look for insulation that does not absorb water, but repels it. Stone wool insulation, like that produced by Roxul, is a good choice. Water-resistance is important year-round, but especially in summer, when humidity levels rise, and in spring and fall, when rain and moisture levels can increase dramatically. It’s vital that your insulation won’t compress or sag within the wall or ceiling cavity, because when insulation materials compress and sag, they leave gaps, compromising the thermal performance of the wall. Cold, heat and sound can pass through much more easily, creating a living space that’s less comfortable and more expensive to heat and cool.

Another important consideration when choosing insulation is mold resistance. Materials that resist mold growth, like stone wool, are essential

to the health of your home and family.

Because mold feeds on organic matter, selecting an insulation that is composed of nonorganic matter is ideal to prevent rot.

Keeping moisture and mold at bay with a quality insulation will contribute to a safer indoor environment and pro-

vide energy savings and comfort benefits that can last for the lifetime of a home.

Four easy tips for a basement makeover COURTESY OF METROCONNECTION

(MS) — By Scott McGillivray The start of a new season is the perfect time to check some tasks off of your “to-do” list — whether it’s to get in shape or tackle at-home projects. If you’re planning on making some simple but effective changes at home, here are some tips on how to give your basement a total 180-degree makeover.

Soundproof it Installing acoustic insulation is the perfect excuse to crank up the subwoofer, host a get-together or let the kids run wild. Soundproofing is the ultimate solution to maximize your basement’s peace, quiet and privacy. Industry experts suggest using Roxul Safe n’ Sound, which effectively absorbs sound and is easy to work with.

Out with the old, in with a floor Installing a new floor or updating the existing one can improve the overall comfort level and look of your basement. Many unfinished basements have basic concrete flooring, which is cold year-round. Flooring options are endless — hardwood, laminate, cork and Berber flooring all add warmth to a basement bedroom or TV room; play mats are great for kids’ playrooms; and carpets are perfect to make any room feel more comfy and welcoming.

Get creative with a fresh coat of paint Transform the dull and boring space into an inviting entertainment oasis or a colorful playroom with a simple coat of paint. When considering the paint, think about what color will compliment your existing furniture. To add some drama, consider adding depth and visual interest to your space with a different colored accent wall.

Accessorize it Throw pillows, rugs, lighting, and artwork are simple additions that can immediately enhance or change your basement’s look and feel. Pot lights can modernize, while art work and throw pillows can add a splash of color. Decide on a theme and color scheme for your room and keep your eye out for staple pieces that will make it feel like an entirely new space.

The importance of clean gutters

Five ways to increase home fire safety

COURTESY OF METROCONNECTION

COURTESY OF METROCONNECTION

Every autumn, trees and shrubs take on their brilliant display of reds, oranges, purples, and yellows that mark the end of the growing season.

Fall foliage may make for ideal photo backdrops and scenic days in the countryside, but closer to home leaves may be more of a hindrance than an aesthetic pleasure.

The hundreds of leaves that adorn the maples, oaks and other trees near homes will eventually fall as autumn turns into winter. Some will float down to lawns, while others will get lodged in gutters and downspouts, posing problems that can cause substantial and potentially costly problems for homeowners.

Homeowners know that gutter cleaning is an important part of fall home maintenance, but they may not completely understand why. Gutter cleaning can be a messy and timeconsuming project, making it a project many homeowners are apt to put off.

Waiting to clean gutters can lead to considerable problems, so it’s best to tackle the job well in advance of the winter.

Gutters guide rainwater and runoff from the roof so it drains properly away from homes. When gutters are clogged with leaves, a number of problems can occur.

• Leaks: Water will take the path of least resistance. When clogged gutters do not allow the water to drain away properly, water will find other ways to the ground. It may work itself right into the walls and ceilings of the home. In addition to damaging walls and ceilings, moisture inside the home can promote mold growth. It also makes interior spaces more appealing to pests.

(MS) — An average of seven Americans die each week as a result of house fires. Most fires occur in residential buildings between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when occupants are most likely to be asleep. Your first line of defense is fire preparedness.

Here’s five things you can do to increase your chance of survival in a fire: • Install smoke alarms on every story of your home and outside sleeping areas.

Be sure to test them monthly, clean them every six months and replace batteries in spring and fall. Having working fire alarms can cut your chance of dying in a fire in half!

• Have a fire escape plan for your family and practice it. A small fire can spread rapidly — you may only have minutes or seconds to escape. When going over the details of your escape plan, check windows and doors to ensure all open easily.

Know your local emergency number (911). Never stop to gather belongings or reenter a home after safely outside.

• When renovating, consider using fire-rated, noncombustible products. Your choice of insulation, for example, can be vital. Stone wool insulation, like that produced by Roxul, resists temperatures up to approximately 2,150 F. When directly exposed to fire, it will not off-gas, contribute to toxic smoke or promote flames. Fire-resistant building materials can give you extra time to escape when seconds count.

• Purchase a multi-use fire ladder for each bedroom in your home and practice using it. A fire ladder may be your only escape option if flames block critical exits.

• Place fire extinguishers on every level of your home, especially in high-risk areas like the kitchen, near fireplaces and in the garage. Use only for small, contained fires that are not spreading rapidly. Know how to operate your extinguisher before an emergency occurs using the PASS method: Pull pin, Aim low, Squeeze lever and Sweep from side to side. The safest option is always to evacuate your home and call for help.

Fire prevention measures are a serious matter in every home. Find out how to keep your home and family safe at nfpa.org or improve your fire safety knowledge by visiting the Roxul website.

• Excess weight: Gutters are meant to hold the weight of traveling water and not much more. Gutters filled with leaves and other debris can quickly become heavy. This stresses the entire gutter system and can cause the gutters to fall off of the home entirely.

• Nesting areas: Clogged gutters can serve as nesting areas for insects and birds. Mosquitoes and other insects lay eggs in pooling water.

Gutters can quickly become breeding spots for harmful pests. Furthermore, birds may nest in gutters, creating unsightly messes and more damage.

Seeds that sprout in clogged gutters can grow unchecked.

• Ice-damming: Left untreated, pooled water and leaves in gutters can freeze over. Blocked water can back up and push against the roof, lifting shingles and destroying the roof in the process.

• Foundation trouble: Clogged gutters also may contribute to flooded basements and cracked foundations.

Leaking water will pool around the foundation, expanding when frozen and causing cracks in basement and crawlspace walls. It also can cause driveways and other cement areas around the home to sag and crack.

Gutter cleaning should be scheduled in the spring and fall of each year. Homeowners can hire gutter-cleaning services to handle the job or do the job themselves. Rinse the gutters with water from the hose afterward to ensure good run-off. Take the time to seal any leaks as well.

This routine maintenance can save homeowners many headaches and prevent some very expensive repairs.
