Signs Your Gutters are in Need of Repair
COMMUNITY SHOPPERS GUIDE...OTSEGO, MI 49078....Fall Home Section...October 10, 2020 ....Phone 694-9431
Fall Home Section I 2020
Fall is a great time to tackle projects around the house. The weather each fall allows homeowners to make improvements to their homes’ exteriors without worrying about extreme heat or cold, while interior projects like painting are made easier because homeowners can open the windows to allow for proper ventilation. Fall also marks a great time to prepare for upcoming projects that can make winter work that much easier. For example, fall is a great time to take stock of your gutters so you can address any issues before leaves begin to fall or the first snowstorm touches down. Compromised gutters can contribute to water issues in basements and adversely affect a home’s foundation if not addressed immediately, so it behooves homeowners to learn the signs that gutters are in need of repair or replacement. • Gutters hanging off the home: Gutters were once installed predominantly with spikes. However, many industry professionals now install gutters with
www.theantennamen.com antennamen@gmail.com
517-646-0439
• Digital TV Antennas • Wireless Data Links • Towers • Cellular Enhancement Systems
hanger brackets. Why the change? Spikes loosen over time, leading to the gutters hanging off the home. That can contribute to serious issues if left untreated. Gutters hanging off the home need not necessarily be replaced, but rather secured to the home, ideally with hanger brackets instead of spikes. Brackets hook into the front of the gutter and are then screwed into the fascia of a home. A professional who specializes in gutter repair can perform this task relatively quickly, and it’s an inexpensive yet highly effective solution. • Gutter separation: Gutters that are no longer fastened together can leak and contribute to issues that affect the home’s foundation, siding and appearance. Clogs and the accumulation of debris can cause gutters to separate because they are not designed to hold too much weight. Replacement of separated gutters may or may not be necessary depending on how big the problem is and the condition of the existing gutters. If replacement is not necessary, separated gutters may be remedied by securing the joints, another relatively simple and inexpensive fix. • Peeling exterior paint: Paint that appears to be peeling off of your home may indicate that water is seeping over the edge of the gutter closest to your home. When that happens, water is coming down the side of the house, causing the paint to peel. In such instances, replacing the gutters is often necessary. • Basement flooding: Not all signs of deteriorating gutters are outside a home. Many a homeowner has been flummoxed by flooding in their basements, and such flooding can be caused by aging, ineffective gutters. That’s because deteriorating gutters sometimes allow water to leak near the foundation of a home, contributing to basement flooding. Fall is an ideal time to inspect gutters and have any issues fixed before leaves begin to fall or harsh winter weather arrives. FH208139

How to Store Firewood the Right Way COMMUNITY SHOPPERS GUIDE...OTSEGO, MI 49078....Fall Home Section...October 10, 2020 ....Phone 694-9431
Fall Home Section I 2020
A fireplace is a cozy and warm spot around which a family can gather. The home and real estate resource HomeGuides.com indicates that 60 percent of new homes have a fireplace, which is up from 36 percent in the 1970s.
Naturally, fueling a fireplace for the season may require homeowners with woodburning units to keep an ample supply of wood at the ready. How that wood is stored is important, as properly stored firewood
can prevent waste and other issues around the house.
Wood that is freshly cut has a water content of 60 percent or more. Yet, for best burning ability, wood should be near 20 percent in water content. Green wood is hard to ignite and will not burn nearly as well or efficiently as seasoned wood. Another concern associated with green wood is that it can contribute more to creosote accumulation in the flue of a fireplace. Creosote is a

combustible material that may lead to fires if left unchecked.
According to BioAdvanced®, a sciencebased lawn, garden and home improvement innovator, seasoning wood typically takes six months to a year. Homeowners may opt to purchase seasoned wood that already has sat and dried.
Homeowners who have an abundance of firewood have to store it somewhere. Log Splitters Direct suggests choosing a dry, breezy area of the property that is about 20 feet from the nearest door to the house. This helps avoid hitchhiker pests from coming inside with the wood, such as termites, ants, spiders, and mice. Do not stack the wood flush against a structure. It should be at least a few inches away to allow airflow behind the stack.
Stick to organized rows of wood no more than four feet high. Log racks and pallets and posts will keep the wood up and off of the ground where moisture and rotting can develop. Placing the logs in an unorganized pile will impede air flow and cause the wood to rot rather than continue to dry and season even more. Homeowners also should use a cover to protect seasoned firewood from the elements. Position a tarp or plastic sheeting so it blankets the top of the stack and
extends a few inches down the sides. Keep the sides mostly exposed to air. Others prefer to stack it in a barn or shed or under an overhang.
Green wood is less expensive than seasoned wood. Those who prefer this method should do so in the early spring and let it season over the next several months. Bankrate says that the cost of a cord of wood varies across the country, but in general one can expect to pay between $120 and $180 for a cord of hardwood that is split and seasoned. This price may be higher in mid-winter when demand increases.

maintenance benefits can be preferential. These include low-maintenance patio materials, composite decking, vinyl fencing, and inorganic mulched beds. • Fire pit: A fire pit can be used for much of the year. In the spring and summer, the firepit is a great place to congregate to roast marshmallows or sip wine and gaze into the fire. In the fall, the fire pit can make for a cozy retreat. A fire pit that has a gas burner is lowmaintenance, and the National Association of Landscape Professionals says that most can recoup about $4,000 of their $6,000 average price tag.

• Softscaping: Hardscaping refers to structures like outdoor kitchens or decks. Softscaping involves the living elements of the landscape. Hiring a landscape designer to install trees, shrubs, natural edging, and rock elements can do wonders toward improving the look and value of a home.
Exterior renovations can enhance the appearance of a property and make it more enjoyable for homeowners. Certain renovations have the potential to add value to a home, while others may do the opposite. Learning which one have the largest return on investment can help homeowners select features that will have the most positive impact.
Curb appeal goes a long way toward attracting potential buyers. According to the National Association of Realtors, first impressions of a property have a strong influence on buyers. Landscaping and external features can do much to influence such impressions. • Lawn care program: Investing in a lawn care program that consists of fertilizer and

• Pool or water feature: In certain markets, particularly hot climates, a pool or another water feature is a must-have. However, in other areas where outdoor time is limited, a pool or water feature can actually lower the value of a home. Speaking with a real estate professional can give homeowners an idea of how a pool will fare in a given neighborhood. Outdoor improvements can improve the marketability of a home, as well as enhance its appearance and function.

Options Abound When Shopping for Home Siding
COMMUNITY SHOPPERS GUIDE...OTSEGO, MI 49078....Fall Home Section...October 10, 2020 ....Phone 694-9431
Fall Home Section I 2020
Home improvement projects run the gamut from minor repairs to complete overhauls. Replacing exterior siding is one of the most significant home improvement projects homeowners can undertake. Such a project can give homes a completely new look, which is why choice of siding is such an important decision.
Homeowners have many siding options to choose from, and the following guide can help them make the best choice for their homes.
Vinyl siding
Vinyl siding is easily maintained and among the more budget-friendly siding options. According to the home improvement resource HomeAdvisor, vinyl siding is made from a PVC plastic that does not rot or flake. Siding professionals note that the technology used to create vinyl siding has changed considerably in recent years, making this option more diverse than traditional vinyl siding. So homeowners turned off by the potentially plastic look of vinyl siding might be surprised at how different modern vinyl siding looks compared to the vinyl siding of yesteryear.
Fiber-cement siding
discuss their options with an experienced siding professional, as many factors, including the choice of wood, must be considered before making a final decision.
The home improvement television network HGTV notes that fiber-cement siding has grown in popularity among homeowners in recent years. This material does not require much maintenance and it’s non-flammable and resistant to termites. HomeAdvisor notes that fiber-cement siding can create the look of wood, stucco or masonry, making it a versatile option capable of creating various looks. In addition, fibercement siding is known for its durability, with some products coming with warranties lasting as long as 50 years.
Stone and stone-veneer siding
Many homeowners fall in love with the natural appeal of stone, but the price tag, which tends to be costly, may not be as awe-inspiring. HGTV notes that stone can be difficult to add to an existing home, and doing so may drive the price up even further. Stone siding is durable, and there are many options, including solid stone and natural stone cladding, that make this an option capable of providing an array of looks. Stone-veneer siding is less expensive than natural stone and also comes in an array of styles. As is the case with wood, stone siding options are so extensive that homeowners are urged to discuss each one with a siding professional before making their decisions.
Wood siding
Homeowners have many choices if they prefer wood siding on their homes. Cedar, cypress, fir, pine, and spruce are just a handful of the many wood siding options can choose from. homeowners HomeAdvisor notes that cedar shingle siding offers a natural look that blends well in wooded and waterfront landscapes. Wood clapboard siding is another popular option, though it tends to require more maintenance than cedar shingle siding. Homeowners who want wood siding should
These are just a handful of the many siding options homeowners can choose from. Siding can give homes a competely new look, making choice of siding a significant decision worthy of careful consideration.

Simple Ways to Improve a Kitchen Pantry
COMMUNITY SHOPPERS GUIDE...OTSEGO, MI 49078....Fall Home Section...October 10, 2020 ....Phone 694-9431
Fall Home Section I 2020
People have been spending more time at home in 2020 than in years past, and certain projects around the house have become a priority. One home improvement idea that serves the double benefit of creating organization and making cooking at home more efficient is to reimagine the kitchen pantry. A pantry is a room or closet where food, beverages and linens or dishes are stored. Pantries can be highly useful spaces that provide ancillary storage in kitchens. Many modern homes are equipped with pantries, but older homes may require some modification to create more useful pantries. Whether starting from scratch or modifying an existing pantry, these tips can help projects go more smoothly. • Maximize vertical storage. Utilizing vertical areas can help increase storage capacity. Build in extra nooks by investing
in undershelf storage baskets. These baskets can instantly create designated areas for different types of ingredients. Homeowners also can look for ways to use the inside of cabinet doors or add extra shelves on walls or in eaves.
• Consider your needs. Figure out which items you would like to store in the pantry and then shop for corresponding storage systems. For example, storage solutions may feature wine bottle racks, baskets for potatoes and other produce, shelving for small appliances, and even pull out racks for baking pans or cutting boards. • Use clear storage. Put ingredients in clear, airtight containers of similar dimensions so that you can easily find items you need. Transfer bulky items, like cereals and baking supplies, to storage containers for uniformity.
Bathroom, Kitchen and Basement Remodels AND SO MUCH MORE!
• Store bulk items elsewhere. Bulk shopping can be cost-efficient, but bulk items can quickly eat up real estate in the pantry. Designate another area for nonperishable bulk products, like paper goods or canned items, such as in a garage or utility room.
• Pull out drawers are convenient. Pull-out drawers can reduce the need to seek and reach for items. These drawers conveniently roll out so items in the back can be accessed without disturbing foods in
the front. Drawers can be custom built for any pantry space.
• Make it accessible. Think about who will be taking items from the pantry. Put children’s snacks on the bottom pantry shelf where they can reach them, and then organize other shelves for adults in the home.
A pantry remodel can add valuable storage space and make one of the busiest rooms in the house operate more efficiently.

Tips for Waterproofing a Basement or Crawl Space
COMMUNITY SHOPPERS GUIDE...OTSEGO, MI 49078....Fall Home Section...October 10, 2020 ....Phone 694-9431
Fall Home Section I 2020
Water can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare. Few things have the potential to damage a home as much as water. From leaks to flooding to moisture problems like mold, water can wreak havoc on a home.
Basements or crawl spaces are areas of a home where water can do the most damage. Basements and crawl spaces tend to be the lowest-lying spots in a home, and therefore prime spots for water to enter. Water problems in these areas can contribute to the demise of the structural integrity of the foundation.
According to Olshan, a foundation solutions company, water can enter homes in numerous ways. Many building materials, including concrete, that seem solid at first glance actually are quite porous. As ground water collects around these materials, the weight of the accumulated water, called hydrostatic pressure, can weaken the materials, causing cracks where water can seep through. Water also can enter subterranean spaces through basement windows and gaps between footings and concrete slabs, or push up through foundation floors when homes are in areas with high water tables.
Remedying water issues in a home generally breaks down into two methodologies: waterproofing and interior exterior waterproofing. Depending on the cause and severity of the water issue, one or the other, or even both, may be recommended.
Exterior waterproofing
Exterior waterproofing aims to keep water away from and out of the home. The home improvement information resource DoItYourself.com says that exterior
waterproofing generally includes the application of a waterproofing agent to the concrete foundation. In addition, exterior waterproofing also could include excavation so a drainage system can be installed around the entire footing of the home. Regrading a property and properly relocating gutters and downspouts can help with many water issues.
Interior waterproofing
When water in a basement or crawl space needs to be remediated indoors, a system to collect, drain and remove water may be necessary. This can include sump pumps, drains, gravity discharge systems, and more. Moisture barriers, which can include special paints or products applied to the foundation walls and floor, also can help keep water from entering the space.
Moisture solutions
Keeping water out is only one part of the equation. Homeowners also need to manage moisture, like excessive humidity. A marriage of HVAC and waterproofing techniques may be necessary to improve air flow and remove humidity in the air.

While many homeowners have attempted to address water issues on their own, many times it is a job best left to the professionals. Because water penetration can have multifaceted causes, a professional can best assess the situation and create solutions that fit with homeowners’ budgets and needs. The review and advice site Angie’s List suggests finding at least three waterproofing companies that offer both interior and exterior waterproofing services that can provide the best ideas for fixing the issue.

Fall Home Section I 2020
Homeowners looking to add more space to their homes do not necessarily need to make major renovations. They simply have to see the possibilities in outdoor living spaces.
Outdoor living spaces are coveted niches in a home. The American Home Furnishings Alliance says more than 70 percent of American households have outdoor living spaces, and nearly 70 percent of people use these spaces at least once per week in-season. Furthermore, homeowners are increasingly interested in enhancing these spaces to make them more usable and comfortable.
A recent survey from the online home design and remodeling resource Houzz found that more than 4,500 users were planning a landscape update. In addition, 56 percent of homeowners surveyed were making updates to improve their yards for entertaining.
While the creation of outdoor living spaces can cost thousands of dollars depending on the renovation, homeowners have more budgetfriendly options at their disposal as well. The following are some ways to create inviting spaces no matter how much square-footage is present.
Revamp a garage or shed
Rather than turning a storage area into a catchall for items time forgot, clean out the space and
put it to better use. For instance, kids may appreciate their own clubhouse away from the main living area. These spaces also can be handy bonus rooms for when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate and backyard guests need to seek shelter. Wall art, curtains, a pendant light, and some comfortable outdoor-compatible furniture can quickly transform a space.
Create a relaxing nook
Whether there’s a ledge, overhang, small terrace, or porch off the house, turn it into a relaxing area for reading a book or sipping a beverage. Use a few outdoor pillows, pull up a small folding table and dress the area with hanging lights and potted plants for a quiet retreat.
Add privacy to a porch
If it’s privacy you covet, install curtain rods and hang lightweight mesh or another translucent material that obscures neighbors’ views without blocking out natural light. Invest in outdoor sofas and chaises to create an outdoor living room right on the porch. If your budget allows, consider closing in the porch as a true threeseason room so it can be used throughout fall, spring and summer. Outdoor living spaces are booming and highly achieveable, and many such spaces need not be expensive.

“A PRAYER FOR EVERY OCCASION”
(Some of these are paraphrased) By Rev. Dan Minor - revdminor1945@gmail.com _____________________________________
“Pray without ceasing” – I Thessalonians 5:17
Why is it? A man wakes up after sleeping on an advertised mattress, brushes his teeth with advertised toothpaste, shaves with advertised razor, puts on advertised clothes, drinks advertised coffee and eats advertised cereal, drives to work in an advertised car... and then refuses to advertise... believing that it doesn’t pay. Later... if his business is poor, he advertises it for sale. Why is it?
Prayer is our lifeline to God. Prayer should be as natural for us as it would be talking with a close family member or friend. To “pray without ceasing” is to live with an attitude of prayer. Please consider the following examples:
Prayer for Mercy: (Forgiveness)
“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your total love…” (Psalm 51:1)
Morning Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank You for the rest of night. Help me to remember You in all that I say and do today. Amen. (Psalm 118:24)
Nighttime Prayer:
Dear Lord, I close this day with thoughts of You. Thank You for watching over me. Thank You for giving me a good night’s sleep. Amen. (Proverbs 3:24)
When Anxious:
Dear Lord, help me to put my entire trust in You and not be afraid. Amen. (I Peter 5:7)
When Facing Trouble:
Dear Lord, please give me the kind of help only You can give. Amen. (Psalm 46:1)
When Feeling Alone:
Dear Lord, I know You are with me. Therefore I will treasure Your presence. Amen. (Matthew 28:20)
When Feeling Hopeless:
“May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.” (Psalm 33:22)
When a Loved One is Suffering:
Dear Lord, we do not understand human suffering. We know You are with us. Help us to give our loved ones to Your care. Amen. (Romans 12:1)
When We Lose a Loved One:
Dear Lord, remind us that our loved ones are in a safe place where nothing more can harm them and that we shall see them again. Amen. (Revelation 21:4)

Otsego Public Schools is Going Solar with Sun FundED First Michigan School Partnership to Receive Millions in Classroom Programming and Solar OTSEGO - October 5, 2020 - Solar energy units in class will get a boost with Otsego’s latest venture, a partnership agreement with Sun FundED, an Indiana-based education services company that exclusively serves education, pairing a renewable energy platform for the classroom with savings for the school, immediately. Construction to place solar arrays on our building roofs and grounds will start in November. We’ll hold a ceremony to signify this ground-breaking opportunity on Thursday, October 29 at 10:00 a.m. at the OPS Administration Office, at one of the ground array sites. Otsego’s Board of Education signed a Solar as a Service Agreement with Sun FundED in August of 2019 and are thrilled to see the planning become a reality. Otsego is the first school district in the state of Michigan to sign this partnership with Sun FundED. “We’re excited to be a leader in this industry at the educational level and this is a natural next step in Otsego’s current commitment to energy savings,” says Jeff Haase, Otsego Public Schools Superintendent. Thirteen years ago OPS implemented an energy savings program that has resulted in a cost avoidance of $3 million dollars since inception. “To build upon the success of this program, OPS was looking for additional opportunities to reduce costs and save energy. Sun FundED called at the right time and their mission falls right in line with ours. Not only do they provide the alternative energy we were looking for, but an important educational component for our students which was extremely appealing,” adds Haase. OPS was also the first public school in Michigan to qualify for the Sun FundED educational grant and classroom program, SAMI, valued at $75,000. This education program includes an interactive kiosk, educational array outside, and a web based platform for the classroom focused on Sustainability, Academics, Marketplace, and Innovation and is the first educational platform in the US. Additionally, OPS will see a projected savings of $5 million over the next 25 years. And our students and community will benefit for decades to come. “Sun FundED helps position Otsego as a leader in classroom programming for energy, engineering, solar power and sustainability, while laying a solid foundation for new educational opportunities for students to meet the demands of a growing and changing energy industry in Michigan and across the country,” says Kelly Hipskind, Co-Founder of Sun FundED. “This literally executes on our mission to tangibly and positively impact the classroom and bottom line of our school partners.” Five buildings will be equipped with solar panels, either on the roof or with ground arrays, or both. Pictured above: Scot Reitenour, Otsego Board of Education Secretary; Jesse Hile, Sun FundED Exec. Dir. of Bus. Development; Lori Bronkema, Otsego teacher and parent with Gibson and Ellie; Jeff Haase, OPS Superintendent.
