WELCOME

Welcome to the 2015 Spring Lakes Area Home Show!

I’m back! Yes its me Jim Falconer from Radco Truck Accessory Center / Accessory Pro warehouse, and I am once again honored the be the chairperson for the 2015 Mid Minnesota Builders Association Home Show.

On behalf of our show committee, and the executive director of MMBA, we would like to welcome everyone to this years show.

This is an especially exciting year for us.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone come out and experience the new facelift given to the Essentia Health Sports Center (formerly the Brainerd Civic Center). We have again assembled a show featuring all facets of the building industry, to include, general contractors, remodelers, developers, sales

and marketing experts, architects, plumbers, electricians, financial institutions, and much more. In short we have you covered on whatever you may need for your new, future, or existing home.

We are excited to welcome back this year, Bobby Jensen from KARE 11 and Grow With Care. Bobby will once again be doing seminars for us on Saturday and Sunday, this years theme is the 11 do’s and don’t of gardening.

Bobby is always a hit at our show, when he’s not doing seminars he makes himself available to visit, or share a joke with you at our MMBA welcome booth. The booth is located just inside the entrance to the main arena.

The committee would also like to thank Menards, they will once again be hosting our kids build project. This year instead of a feeder, kids between the ages of 5-12, will be building a complete bird house, with the help of the Menards crew. This is a no cost event and will begin at 10:30 am on Saturday April 11th.

We ask that you arrive as close to 10:30 as possible with your child to make sure they get to participate, while supplies of the houses last.

In addition Crow Wing County land services will be on hand doing complimentary water testing again this year, so be sure to bring your samples.

This year all of our concessions will be in the

newly remodeled mezzanine above the two arenas. This area is perfect for taking a break, having a snack, and overlooking both the main and gold medal arenas to see what you may have missed while touring the show. And don’t forget, there is now an elevator to access the mezzanine.

If the thought of spring cleaning makes you long for winter, it’s time to think about these annual chores in a new way. By dedicating just a few days to complete these simple tasks, you will keep your home running smoothly and protect your investment at the same time.

INSIDE YOUR HOME: As the weather gets warmer it’s important to ensure your windows are in good working condition. Inspect all windows for proper operation and a tight fit. Clean the window tracks and check that the weatherstripping hasn’t cracked or torn. Preventing unwanted outside air from leaking into your home also will reduce your energy bills.

Remember, open windows can be hazardous, especially to young children. Screens are designed to keep insects from getting into a home; not to prevent a child from falling. Parents need to take action to lessen the potential risks of accidental falls from windows.

To prevent outside pests from entering your home, look for cracks and holes on the outside of your home and seal them up. Be sure to include points where utility lines enter the house. Also address damage to the basement foundation and windows.

Check for evidence of termites such as sagging floors and ceilings or dry, brown tunnels in the ground near the home’s foundation. Seed and feed the lawn and plant annuals, cut back perennials that need pregrowth pruning.

SPRING MAINTENANCE TIPS TO PROTECT YOUR HOME’S VALUE:

Clean your gutters of debris. Yes, you have to do this in the fall and the spring. Long winters bring a mix of storms and heavy winds that can carry a lot of debris to your gutters.

Remember, focusing on these small jobs now will save you time and money in the future! For more home maintenance advice, contact the Mid-Minnesota Builders Association at 218-829-4982 or go to www. midmnba.org for a list of our members.

Have your air conditioning system inspected and cleaned. If your system has a filter, replace it every three months to keep your unit working efficiently.

Warmer weather also means that pests – including ants, roaches, rats, and termites – will be looking to join your household. Keep them out by sealing cracks and openings along baseboards, behind sinks, and around pipes and windows. And, repair holes in door and window screens.

OUTSIDE YOUR HOME: Check the condition of glazing compound, caulking and exterior paint. Replace or paint as needed.

Exchange glass and screens in storm doors and/ or windows. Ensure the screens are clean by washing gently with soapy water. Inspect your roof for snow damage.

CHECKLIST FOR KEEPING YOUR HOME HEALTHY A home is often the biggest investment you will make in your lifetime.

It is also the place where families will raise children and spend many hours making lifelong memories. So it’s important to maintain your home in good condition and make sure it offers a clean, comfortable and safe environment for many years to come.

This checklist contains tasks you should complete at least on an annual basis to keep your home operating efficiently and to protect your investment.

ANYTIME DURING THE YEAR: Check all connections to your electrical system for possible hazards. Check cords and plugs of all electrical appliances for fraying or signs of wear.

Repair or replace as necessary. Do not overload extension cords.

Test your smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detector and radon detector for proper operation. Clean the units with a vacuum or cotton swab and replace batteries and light bulbs if needed.

Have your heating and air conditioning system(s) inspected and cleaned. If your system(s) has a filter, replace it every three months to keep your unit working efficiently.

Inspect all doors and windows for proper operation and a tight fit. Clean

the window tracks, clean and adjust the door thresholds and check that the weatherstripping hasn’t cracked or torn.

Preventing unwanted outside air from leaking into your home will reduce your energy bills.

Check interior paint and touch up or repaint as needed.

Inspect the attic insulation. Make sure the entire ceiling area is covered. Check that the insulation has not blocked vents in the eaves to prevent buildup of condensation and to allow proper air circulation. Insulation should also not be touching the underside of the roof sheathing.

Oil motors of appliances as directed in instruction manuals.

Periodically check storage areas, closets, and the basement to make sure no oily rags, gas cans, painting supplies or flammable cleaning materials have been stored and forgotten. These items could be a fire hazard and should be discarded.

Check that the alarm and circuits of your security system are in working order, inspect the sensors one by one, and check primary and backup batteries monthly.

Inspect your stairs, steps and ladders for damage or broken pieces that could cause someone to fall. Make sure handrails and railings are sturdy and securely attached.

IN THE SPRING: Check the condition of glazing compound, caulking and exterior paint.

Replace or paint as needed.

Exchange glass and screens in storm doors and/or windows (also in autumn).

Inspect the roof for snow damage.

Check for evidence of termites such as sagging floors and ceilings or dry, brown tunnels in the ground near the home’s foundation.

Seed and feed the lawn and plant annuals. Cut back perennials that need pre-growth pruning.

IN THE AUTUMN: Mulch perennials that need protection from winter weather and prune those that should be cut back in the fall.

Rake and compost leaves.

Remove hose connections and store hoses to avoid freezing.

There are many more tasks that you can complete throughout the year to keep your home in good working order.

Contact Mid-Minnesota Builders Association at 218-829-4982 —OR— midmnba.org to learn about more keeping your home healthy with the help and assistance from our members, or to find a home builder or remodeler to create the home of your dreams.
