How to get the

BATH

of your

Dreams...

In recent years, homeowners have come to view bathrooms as avenues of escape from life’s daily stresses. Realtors view bathrooms as one of the most important rooms to upgrade, in order to maximize the value of your home. Bringing these two concepts together, and with a little help from the experts, here are some ways to take a large or small bathroom space to the next level.

Organic and eco-friendly. Over the past few years, bathroom design trends have been getting greener and greener. Focus on the organic is revealed through the fixed background like flooring or cabinetry, and the blend of the new with the organic is of great appeal to most consumers.

The appeal of low-water usage products, and products that have been or can be reclaimed or repurposed.

Anything ecofriendly is on trend.

With that said, though people want to be environmentally conscious, they don’t want to sacrifice style or functionality. Says Judd Lord, director of industrial design for Delta Faucets, “More than ever, consumers want to make

smarter water choices in order to maintain high environmental standards and save money.

However, they are looking to do this without compromising their experience in the bath space.”

“To address this need, Delta developed H2O Kinetic technology, which when incorporated into our popular shower lines, provides a consumer-proven feeling of using more water, while actually using up the 40% less than their standard showerhead counterparts.”

Continued Lord, “We’re seeing clean, minimalist design dressed in warmer, traditional finishes such as shades of bronze. There is a move to eliminate hardware, with hidden, built-in handles for a cleaner look. In the future, bath-

room layouts will include more zones, such as dry or wet areas.

There will be more individual spaces -- dedicated dressing and makeup areas and water closets.”

Victor Garcia, director marketing for Price Pfister, agrees. “What’s gaining in popularity are decorative faucets in alternative finishes that have personality -- especially rustic, weathered finishes.”

TILE TRENDS

Copper, stainless, hardwood and glass represent some of the hottest tile trends currently popping up in bathroom renovations. Many designer are working with glass, used for backsplashes, shower walls, and as accents on floors. Glass is an organic, recycled and recyclable material - helping consumers feel good about their choices. The broad colour palette and finishes ranging from glossy to flat makes it relatively easy to find the perfect glass tile to complement any bathroom. Glass adds depth, sparkle and luminescence not found in ceramic or natural stone.

When used sparingly, vivid glass tiles can provide exciting visual highlights.

Alternatively, covering an entire bathroom wall with cool, serene shades of glass can create a luxurious, spa-like atmosphere.

An interesting tile choice that works with both traditional and contemporary bathroom design is metal wall tile. In particular, small metal wall tiles allow homeowners to create different patterns and designs. Stainless steel is a good choice for those wanting a polished, contemporary look, while warm bronze or copper tile adds timeless beauty to more traditional designs.

Laurentian Laminate makes a vinyl plank floor, Press Lock, which offers the ultimate in easy installation -- the planks simply click together. Requiring no underlayment, Press Lock’s waterproof & recycled ABS core won’t absorb moisture or swell.

Press Lock is hygienic, easy to clean, scuff and stain resistant, and is available in a broad selection of colours.

For the environmentally conscious, Press Lock is made from 85% recycled (cont’d. Pg. 13) material.

FLOORING

While everyone loves the look of hardwood, engineered wood and wood laminate flooring; most contractors agree they have no place in a moist bathroom. The next best choices may be faux hardwood porcelain tile or wood-look vinyl plank flooring.

Central Your Home 2013 - Pg. 8

In recent years, the tile industry has perfected manufacturing tiles that look like one material, but are made out of another. A perfect example is porcelain tile made to look like real hardwood. Available in 2-, 3- and 4-inch planks, the tile is much easier to care for than real wood. And porcelain’s natural resistance to moisture makes it an ideal choice for bathroom applications.

COLOUR

Unexpected colour is emerging as a surprise trend for 2013.

Inspired by Downton Abbey and The Great Gatsby, some design teams are taking inspiration from the deco era of the 1920’s, selecting warm, blush pinks to represent feminine beauty. Cool blue and mint tones replicate the blue-touched sea glass tones popular at the time, and peach shades make an appearance as well, moving from the orange family into melon tones. Inky navy can anchor subtle shades, and adds a bit of intrigue to a bathroom colour palette, while bright, clean, white accents keep a light, open feeling in your bath space.

One of the season’s most dramatic colours is oxblood, a perfect balance between rich chocolate and deep garnet.

Oxblood makes a great accent when combined with gray for a modern bathroom.

Adding colour to your bathroom is easy. Paint is the obvious solution, but if you don’t feel like painting, just changing your accessories can make any space new and exciting. From hand towels and floor mats to shower curtains and tissue boxes, the choices for adding colour to the bathroom are endless. And don’t forget art - carefully selected art pieces have a place in any well-finished bathroom.

they not only allow lots of natural light, but also contribute greatly to the serene, zen atmosphere so important for creating a relaxing space.

There are many other interesting ways to enhance bathroom lighting. Think outside the box, and consider sparkling chandeliers over the bath, or mount sconce lighting right through a large bathroom mirror. The reflected light and sparkle will add greatly to the beauty of the space.

No matter what your personal bathroom style, Central can help you achieve your vision. We stock a huge selection of brand name bathroom products from companies like American Standard, Delta, Pfister, Eljer, Maax, Moen and Foremost, and can special order virtually any product with a delivery time of ten to fifteen days.

Plus, we offer industry-leading inhouse credit programs that make paying for a bathroom update a little easier on your budget. ✿

For a totally spa bathroom, Hunter creates a stunning line of lighting/bathfan combinations that feature sleek, brushed metal edges with opaque white shades.

LIGHTING

Light in any room is critical, and that’s especially true in the bathroom.

When renovating, consider the addition of windows, or enlarge existing windows and doors. Skylights are a great option for bathrooms, because

KITCHENS

Cozy, happy and unpretentious. Three words that describe the feeling of a cottage-style kitchen perfectly. The unique aspect of a cottage-style kitchen is that while it may never be the height of fashion, it is always in style and always a favorite gathering place for family and friends.

We've got some simple tips for adding cottage style to your kitchen -- try them all for the full look, or just add your favorite touches for a note of whimsy and nostalgia in the most used room in your home.

TIP #1 - Open Shelving

You can dress up a bare wall inexpensively by adding open shelving, or, if you already have cabinets, get the look by removing cabinet fronts for a quick update. Add even more of the cottage feel by painting out the back wall of your open shelves or cabinets with a spring green or blue.

This small change will make any kitchen feel open and airy, and it's perfect for showing off collections, pretty glassware and dishes in your (cont'd. pg. 21) kitchen.

Central Your Home 2013 - Pg. 20

TIP #2 - Focus on Fixtures

Vintage-style fixtures such as apron sinks (also known as farmhouse sinks) and faucets with traditional colours and old-world style complete any cottage kitchen. These deep sinks are not inexpensive, but they are a perfect combination of history, beauty, functionality and durability. For an easy faucet update, look for a cottage-style faucet that fits the configuration of your existing faucet. That way, you can install a new faucet without having to reconfigure your plumbing.

to your kitchen brings in just the right note. If you're not an antique hunter, Springwater Woodcraft manufactures solid pine Canadiana style furniture using traditional styles and craftsmanship, available in a huge variety of distressed finish colours made to mimic the look of the milk paints of yesteryear. If you don't see the piece you want instock at Central, speak to an associate. They'll show you the entire lineup, and special order the perfect piece for your cottage kitchen.

A staple of cottage decorating is the mix of old and new. Adding an old, weathered piece, like a dresser, table or breakfront

Nothing adds cottage-style to your kitchen faster than bead board, and best of all, it's a low cost, easy-to-install project that

TIP #3 - Eclectic Elements

TIP #4 - Charming Walls

can be completed quickly and easily. Bead board is available in both pine and MDF, the MDF version is primed white so it's easy to finish in whatever colour you choose for your cottage kitchen.

TIP #5 - Plank Floors

Hand-scraped wide plank wood floors are the perfect complement to a cottage kitchen, but the cost can be prohibitive.

Luckily, there's an affordable option that creates the look without breaking your budget. Premier Handscrape is a 12.3-mil laminate that is manufactured in 5-inch planks.

Offering a 25-year warranty, this durable floor is easy to install and is available for $1.78 (cont'd. pg. 25) p.s.f. at Central.

TIP #6 - Pretty Fabrics

Bright florals, ginghams, pretty stripes -- these go a long way to boosting the cottage style in your kitchen. To really complete the look, invest in a hand-made country quilt in bright, scrappy colours. Draped over a chair, seating bench, or used as a tablecloth, the look just can't be beat!

TIP #7 - Wicker & Natural Fibers

Baskets give your cottage kitchen a casual style while providing organization for dry goods, extra linens, or even fruits and vegetables. Wicker brings the feel of a porch into a cottage kitchen. Add a wicker armchair (great for draping that quilt!), or use wicker stools at an island, or wicker chairs around a dining table.

Don't limit yourself to just choosing from indoor wicker. Lots of outdoor wicker pieces are perfectly suited for indoor use. And, if you find the perfect piece but don't like the colour - spray paint it!

Today's spray paints are easy to apply, dry fast, are tough and durable, and are available in an almost endless array of colours.

TIP #8 - Collections

Collections are key to creating a functional cottage look.

Consider a whiteware, or blue whiteware collection; beach glass vases, antique bottles, or anything else that strikes your fancy. Then use your open shelves, window sills and tabletops to display your treasures.

TIP #9 - Finishing Touches

Cottage-style kitchens are about abundance without clutter.

Choose finishing touches and accents such as pillows, tin wall art, unique vases and candlestands to complete the look - then add fresh cottage flowers like daises, lilacs or tea roses. âœż Central Your Home 2013 - Pg. 25

TRENDING NOW

in flooring

As the fall 2013 flooring shows get underway, here are some of this year's newest flooring trends.

RECLAIMED WOOD New factory-finished hardwood and laminate floors are showing all the charm of reclaimed timber, right down to the hand-scraped look - but without the high costs associated with true salvaged lumber. When purchasing hardwood flooring, remember that factory-finished wood will stand up to moisture fluctuations better than any wood flooring that is finished onsite.

For homeowners who truly want a sustainable wood flooring product, North American hardwood is a great choice. Unlike cork and bamboo, which are shipped in from the other side of the world, hardwoods are purchased from local forests, and in general, North America does a good job replenishing forests as they are cut. Oak, hickory, maple, ash, birch and heart pine -

Central Your Home 2013 - Pg. 28

these classic North American hardwoods are always in style.

Along with the hand-scraped, distressed finishes, wide-plank floors are extremely popular with today's homeowners - both for their authenticity in the look of reclaimed wood, and for their ability to highlight the natural grain, colours and beauty of wood.

Laminate manufacturers have moved towards single 5-inch plank floors, offering budget conscious homeowners the opportunity to get the look of reclaimed hardwood at a fraction of the price, and with outstanding durability and ease of installation.

LARGE-FORMAT TILES Tile designs are exploding with a huge new selection of sizes, shapes, materials and patterns.

Particularly popular right now are large-format tiles - tiles that come in 12" x 24" up to as large as 36" x 36" - as opposed to the more traditional 12" x 12" tiles.

Not only do they look great, but larger tiles mean more tile surface and fewer grout lines to clean. If you're installing large-format tiles, it's important to remember they're heavy, and require a perfectly level substrate and a professional installer to ensure the job comes out right.

LUXURY VINYL Luxury vinyl is not the "peel and stick" product people used to install.

It's a new category of flooring that combines the high-end look of hardwood or stone with the durability of vinyl.

Today's designs and manufacturing processes create vinyl so realistic looking that even experts have to get down on their hands and knees to be sure it's not real.

Because it stands up so well to moisture, luxury vinyl is a natural fit for bathrooms, kitchens and (cont'd. pg. 30)

laundry rooms.

However, today's vinyl does share one trait with that old peel 'n stick stuff - it's still a joy to walk on!

CUT-AND-LOOP CARPET Current carpet trends have moved away from shags and friezes towards more patterned carpets. By using a technique that combines both loops and cut loops, manufacturers can create a carpet with patterns that range from subtle to bold.

New technologies are producing carpet with incredibly soft fibers, and huge improvements have also been made in the world of carpet pads, with high quality dense rubber replacing the more common loose fiber.

AREA RUGS Area rugs continue to gain in popularity for good reason.

They're practical, providing cushion, comfort and warmth over tile and wood floors. But they also provide artist value to a room's design. Considered art for the floor, (with the floor acting as the frame), size DOES matter, and it's often a big concern for homeowners who

are uncertain how to create a well balanced space. Designers say start with the area rug first. From its design, you can select paint colours, and find art, throw pillows and accessories to complete your decor. Designers recommend keeping area rugs a minimum of 6 inches, and no more than 2 feet away from walls. âœż

Tips for choosing

Interior

doors

When building or remodeling a home, most homeowners spend hours poring over the finish details.

But interestingly, often very little thought is given to selecting interior doors - so they end up with builder-grade flush or panel doors for every door in their home. While these doors are perfectly adequate for meeting functional needs, they don't always provide aesthetic value. Interior doors are one of the most visible design elements in your home, and offer a visual impact that should not be undervalued.

Interior doors also fulfill a number of important functional needs, including providing privacy and security, buffering noise and providing separation between rooms. They also need to be able to stand up to constant use. There are many interior doors on the market today that meet all of these needs, and provide unique style at the same time.

Interior doors are most commonly constructed of MDF,

wood, metal or glass. They may be painted or stained.

Styles include flush doors, doors with panels and French doors. Glass panels are sometimes incorporated into some interior door styles. Interior doors may be simple, or have intricate designs.

When selecting interior doors for your home, you don't have to choose the exact same door for every room in the house, but you should select doors that are either the same colour, finish or general style to ensure consistency and cohesion throughout your home.

While most interior doors are painted white, using colour or natural wood colours can add sophistication and dramatic impact.

Keep the size and style of your rooms in mind when selecting doors. You want to select a style that complements your home's dĂŠcor. Wood doors lend themselves well to contemporary dĂŠcor while metal and glass support sleek urban chic. Mirrored doors (cont'd. pg. 41)

CHOOSING DOOR HARDWARE Consider the door's operation. Swinging doors will almost always be hung on butt hinges, though doors that are taller or heavier than average may work better on pivots. Sliding doors are hung on tracks, while pocket doors are installed using a pocket door kit. All of these can be found in a variety of finishes to match the look of your home.

can make a room look larger, so they're a great option for smaller rooms. But they look great in a large space, too. French doors can create a striking entrance to a formal living or dining room, but may completely overwhelm a small room. If you keep scale and balance in mind, it's hard to go wrong.

Decide what lock function you'll need. Non-keyed locks are often used on interior doors. A passage function can be used when you want the door to latch but not lock. Privacy locks don't use keys, but can be locked by a push button on the door knob. These locks are generally used in bathrooms and bedrooms.

Compare trim options. You can choose from knobs, levers or handles -- all available in a variety of styles and designs. Keep in mind that many elderly adults and young children have difficulty operating knobs, and may benefit from handles or levers.

Once you've selected your interior doors, it's time to consider your hardware options. And by hardware, we don't mean just your doorknobs. Interior door hardware includes locks, hinges, doorknobs and stops: everything used to hang and operate a door as desired. When choosing interior door hardware, it's important to balance function with the aesthetic appeal of these devices. There are dozens of styles, finishes and options available on the market today, so buyers will find a number of different hardware options to complement any dĂŠcor style.

Choose a finish. Interior door hardware often comes with a standard brass or chrome finish, although more exciting options are also generally available. Once you've chosen a colour, decide whether you want a polished or brushed finish. Keep in mind that polished finishes tend to scratch and show fingerprints more easily than brushed finishes.

Consider using simple door pulls in place of knobs or locks. A door pull is a handle used to open a door. The door will not latch or lock, making pulls idea for kitchen doors to allow for hands-free operation.

LIGHTING

The route to transforming living spaces from dark and drab to bright and beautiful is through properly planned lighting. Today's vast selection of designs and styles have transformed lighting from a purely functional decision to being part of the overall design scheme.

Choosing the correct light fixture adds personality to a space, and pulls the entire room together. Interior designers and lighting experts say these are some of 2013's hottest lighting trends.

MODERN ELEGANCE Blending clean, contemporary lines with elegant, luxurious materials creates the trend known as modern elegance. Look for lighting fixtures with simple, modern shapes and metallic finishes accented by a touch of bling such as modern cut crystals and unique glass shapes.

Central Your Home 2013 - Pg. 42

Combining these designs and materials removes the coldness and sterility from modern design, and adds a touch of rich, luxurious glamour.

modern, urban touch to comfortable, casual rustic design. This trend blends rustic finishes with modern shapes, fabrics and accents for a more refined look.

Rustic wood finishes with contemporary linen shades, or modern cut crystals are both perfect examples of the refined rustic trend.

POLISHED METALS While Brass is making a comeback in 2013, Polished Nickel and Polished Chrome are the most popular lighting finishes. Both homeowners and interior designers are choosing shine over matte, allowing the sparkle created by these metals to infuse living spaces with freshness and vitality.

Central Your Home 2013 - Pg. 44

SCULPTURAL LIGHTING Combining function and art with unique abstract design, sculptural fixtures are generally very detailed and feature unique shapes, accents and colours. Large sculptural features work well in open spaces and rooms with high ceilings (two-storey entrances are ideally suited to hanging a sculptural light fixture).

Smaller sculptural fixtures can be used to add interest throughout any living space - much like pieces of art.

LAYERED LIGHTING As homeowners continue to choose large, multi-functional kitchens that are used for cooking, dining, entertaining and more. As the uses for kitchens change, so does the lighting requirement.

Layered lighting allows flexibility in both lighting levels and areas being lit for a more functional kitchen.

Layered lighting includes under-cabinet LED and other task lighting, pendants, track lighting and wall sconces combined to

create a layered, flexible lighting scheme. The use of dimmer switches in layered lighting is an effective way to optimize lighting, allowing higher lighting levels when tasks are being performed, and more subtle, ambient lighting when entertaining.

CRYSTAL Crystal lighting has undergone a huge resurgence in the past couple of years, and it continues to grow.

Crystal designs of all types, from traditional to contemporary, are being chosen as lighting options by both interior designers and homeowners. Today's crystal designs come in a wide variety of styles that can add glamour to any room in the home, including bathrooms, where crystal chandeliers are being seen more and more. The price range for crystal lighting has also widened, offering homeowners on a budget the opportunity to add this lighting style to their homes more affordably than ever before. âœż

everything you need to know about

L.E.D. LEDs (or Light-Emitting Diodes) are semiconductor devices that produce visible light when an electrical current is passed through them.

LEDs are a type of Solid State Lighting (SSL), as are Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) and Light-Emitting Polymers (LEPs).

LED lighting differs from incandescent and compact fluorescent lighting in several ways. When designed well, LED lighting can be more efficient, durable, versatile and longer lasting.

LED lighting products use light emitting diodes to produce light very efficiently. An electrical current passed through semi-conductor material illuminates the tiny light sources we call LEDs. The heat produced is absorbed into a heat sink.

Common LED colours include amber, red, green and blue. There is actually no such thing as a "white" LED. To get white light, the kind we use for lighting our homes and offices, different colour LEDs are mixed or covered with a phosphor material that converts the colour of the light. The phosphor is the yellow material you can see on some LED products. Coloured LEDs are widely used as signal lights and indicator lights (such as the power button on a computer).

Central Your Home 2013 - Pg. 50

LEDs are now being incorporated into bulbs and fixtures for general lighting applications. LEDs are small and provide unique design opportunities.

Some Led bulb solutions my look like familiar light bulbs and some may not but can better match the performance of traditional light bulbs. Some LED light fixtures may have LEDs built-in as a permanent light source.

LEDs are "directional" light sources which means they emit light in a specific direction, and it is for this reason that LED lighting is able to use light and energy more efficiently in many applications.

The useful life of LED lighting products is defined differently than that of other light sources, such as incandescent of CFL. This is because LEDs typically do not "burn out" or fail. Instead, they experience lumen depreciation, where the amount of light produced decreases and light colour appearance can shift over time. LED product "lifetime" is set based on a prediction of when the light output decreases 30%. âœż

LONGER, LOOSER PLEATS. Longer, looser pleats (five to six inches long) are popular - they look easier and less structured than shorter, tighter ones. Double pleats have replaced triple pleats, for the same reason.

Taming Closet Clutter Messy closets are a source of frustration and stress, and they don't contribute to anyone's happiness. Conversely, an organized closet can bring peace of mind, and a sense of relief in knowing that when you need something (and you definitely will!), it'll be easy to find.

"A place for everything, and everything in its place." An old proverb which perfectly sums up what we all wish for in our closets.

Achieving this takes quite a bit more than wishful thinking, but it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. With a little help from the organization experts, here are six steps towards turning your closet from a cluttered mess to an organized space.

STEP ONE

Inventory your closet. This is one of the most time-consuming steps, but it's well worth it. Unload the entire contents of your closet to gain a true understanding of what's in it. You'll probably be surprised at how much you want to donate or toss. Once you've pared down the contents to those you want to keep, group like items together and place them in rough piles on the bed or floor.

STEP TWO

Now that you know what you're keeping, you can adjust any closet shelves as required to fit your things. While you're adjusting, take a look at unused closet wall space, and space

on the back of doors. Adding some hooks, or rails, can greatly increase storage in your room. Baskets are another good way to organize like items in your closet - they're practical, and inexpensive to purchase.

STEP THREE

Add lighting. Lighting is essential if you want to be able to find things in your closet.

Most newer homes have closet lighting, most older homes don't.

This can be expensive if you bring in an electrician to wire everything - but there are also good, affordable solutions available like battery powered LED puck lights .

STEP FOUR

Group like items together in the way that works best for you (by colour, by use, by style, etc.).

STEP FIVE

Invest in good-quality hangers.

Hanger uniformity makes it easier to find clothing, because everything is at the same level.

Quality hangers can be wood, metal or plastic; but whatever you choose, make sure they're durable to withstand the weight of clothes.

STEP SIX

Invest in a good footstool or step-stool so you can reach your closet's top shelves easily and safely. This will allow you to use all the available space in your closet. âœż

There's nothing cozier than a wood stove on a cold winter day, but that's not the only reason to buy one.

chop, store and haul! EPA stoves also produce less smoke, and emit only 2 to 7.5 grams of air-borne particles per hour - as compared to the 40 to 85 grams produced by older wood stoves.

They also produce less creosote, a by-product of burning wood that can build up in your chimney and cause a fire.

Firewood or pellets? Pellets come in easy-to-store bags, and because they are very clean burning, don't require a conventional chimney which allows pellet stoves to be installed in homes that may not be suitable for a wood stove. Pellet stoves do require more maintenance than wood stoves, and they also need electricity to operate, something to keep in mind if you want a stove to provide backup heat during power outages.

Choose the right size stove for the space you need to heat. Undersized stoves can't produce enough heat to keep your space comfortable, but oversize stoves can overheat your living space and can also create hazards in your home caused by turning down the stove's airflow causing slower burning which increases creosote buildup in your chimney. The best way to calculate the stove size you need is to take the full square footage of the level the stove is installed on, and add half the square footage of any levels ABOVE the stove. Do not count any levels below the stove. Since you don't want to run your stove at full blast, add another 25% to the total square footage to be heated. Then select a stove that can heat that square footage at its maximum heating capacity.

Premium Wood Pellets

Atlantic Canadians #1 Choice for Wood Pellet Fuel…

Burns hot...Burns CleAn. See and feel the difference of a truly premium grade wood pellet! eaStern eMBerS’ consistency and high quality are made possible by the extraordinary wood fiber derived from our local species of spruce. The high sap content of the spruce fiber translates into high BTU value and more heat per pellet. Furthermore, the fibre is inherently “clean”, resulting in low levels of residual ash for a more efficient stove with fewer maintenance issues.

Simple Tips for Stacking & Storing Firewood Freshly chopped firewood has up to 50% water content and won't burn in your fireplace.

First, you must let the firewood season (dry), which allows the moisture to escape––the drier the wood, the cleaner the burn. When the wood gets down below 20% water content, it's ready to burn. Burning unseasoned (green) or even partially seasoned wood in your stove or fireplace will cause creosote build-up in your chimney, which can lead to a chimney fire at the worst, and a lack of fire or a roomful of smoke at best.

Every homeowner reliant on wood should know how to season wood.

Gather and stack wood at the right time of year.

With the exception of wanting to gather deciduous trees when their sap is lowest during winter, gathering and seasoning wood during the summer season makes good sense because you can take advantage of the warm weather to start drying out the wood. In areas with little rainfall during summer, open air storage is also a viable option; any rain that does fall will usually replace sap and as the water evaporates faster in the heat, the fuel will dry faster.

Before drying, know the properties of your wood.

The duration of seasoning depends on the wood and for deciduous trees, when the tree was felled. The sap of deciduous trees moves to the roots in the winter, so such trees felled in winter have a much lower moisture content to begin with, and so will be seasoned more quickly.

In general, pine and other softwoods require around 6 to 12 months to season, while hardwoods such as oak require a year to 2 years. However, this rule of thumb has exceptions, so knowing the tree type and its water content is important. There isn't any point seasoning wood longer than it needs to be. Over-dried wood will have less energy as volatile esters in the wood evaporate.

These waxy substances contain a great deal of heat energy, so it is a mistake to think that longer is necessarily better.

Chop the wood in readiness for storage.

It's best to get the pieces down to no more than 6-8 inches in diameter. Eighteen inches long is a common size, though 16 inches is the correct length for a face cord and will fit better in smaller stoves.

Stack wood so it isn't sitting directly on the ground or right up against a wall.

If you don't have a woodshed, cut two saplings to use as a base to keep the firewood from contact with the ground. Pallets are also a great alternative.

Allow space between the stack and a wall to allow air to move.

Air circulation is an essential part of the seasoning process, to ensure that the wood dries. Ideally, you would have a moisture barrier such as a tarp below the wood, and/or have it spaced up off the ground to allow air flow.

Ensure that the top of the wood is covered.

Covering the top of the wood allows rain and snow to run off without soaking the wood. However, the ends of the stack should be kept uncovered to allow air to (cont'd. pg. 78) circulate and moisture to escape.

Bark acts like a lid on firewood, offering natural protection.

On split wood, stack the wood with the bark at the bottom to allow the wood to dry faster. If you are storing the wood without cover, stacking with the bark on top wil prevent some of the rain from soaking into the wood. There are two theories on the covering of wood during the seasoning process - the first is to cover the wood to prevent the rain and snow from entering the center of the stack and gathering there. The second is that you do not have to cover your wood at all, ever. Just leave it out there in the weather and it will season just as well as if you covered it.

Check for wood dryness.

Here are three simple ways to test wood dryness.

1. Pick two pieces of wood that you think is dry. Knock the two pieces together. If you here more of a "ring" than a "thud", the wood is probably dry.

2. Check for radial cracks at the ends of the wood, which indicate dryness.

3. Burn a piece on a roaring fire. If three of the sides begin to burn within 15 minutes, the fuel is dry.

Does your family have a

FIRE SAFETY PLAN? The best way to avoid injury from a fire is to know what to do if one happens! Staying calm and following the family Fire Safety Plan is the best way to prevent injury. Stress to children that panicking or trying to hide from the fire is not the right way to escape safely.

Creating your family’s Fire Safety Plan should be a family affair, with everyone pitching in, contributing ideas and asking questions. In this way, children especially feel a sense of control.

Your family’s Fire Safety Plan should include a full understanding of the fire safety equipment in your home, including smoke and CO alarms, your fire escape route including two ways out of every room if possible, meeting place, and the local emergency and Fire Department contact information.

Instill confidence and a sense of control by creating an escape route that all family members can follow in case of fire.

Draw a floor plan of your home that shows all possible exits from each room. Draw a main escape route and an alternate escape route from each room, with increased emphasis on children’s bedrooms. Be sure there is no confusion and that children understand how to exit the house from any room. Conduct a fire drill at least once every six months.

Sound an alarm, and treat the situation as if it were a real fire. Make sure everyone knows how to escape the home, but don’t rush. Once everyone is outside, discuss the drill and any problems. After the first drill or two, create realistic situations, such as blocking off a main route so family members have to take the alternate path out. Vary people's starting

points. Do not hold a drill at night until children are comfortable and confident, Once they feel prepared, let children know of the planned drill before they go to bed so they are not unduly frightened.

SETTING A MEETING PLACE. Decide on a place to meet once everyone has exited the home. This pre-determined spot should be part of your Fire Safety Plan. Choose a place in front of your home (but a safe distance away) where all family members will be visible to each other and to arriving fire fighters. Ensure all family members know how to dial 911. Call for help immediately, but do not leave the meeting spot to call until all members of the household are there.

Remind your children that it is NEVER okay to re-enter a burning or smoldering building - even if that means losing a prized possession or even a pet.

Establish an Escape Plan and practice it routinely. A Fire Safety Plan could save your life. ✿
