SPRING HOME & LAWN I 2015
5 Ways to Increase Curb Appeal, Value Keep your house looking young and inviting with these five home care tips: Look at the landscaping. Curb appeal is about the whole picture your home presents, which includes your lawn, shrubs and features such as flower beds and rock gardens. Keep grass neatly trimmed and prune vegetation for a well-kept look. Also give your home a thorough look from the street. Are trees or shrubs obscuring an appealing architectural detail? Does vegetation dwarf your home, making it seem small? Would a pop of color from some flowering plants add to the overall look?
Washing up outdoor spaces in all the right places
In the real estate world, the saying to avoid judging a book by its cover does not apply. The exterior of your home sends an important message about its character, and even its value, making people eager to see what is inside. This first impression sets expectations for the entire property for potential buyers, appraisers and even your guests.
(Family Features) Whether you’re planning to list your home for sale soon or you’re simply working to maintain features that attracted you to the charming abode in the first place, careful attention to curb appeal is a must.
THINK SPRING
Beware of dingy dirt. Because you see your home every day, you may not realize the exterior has become dull with a layer of dust and dirt. An adjustable pressure washer with Briggs & Stratton POWERflow+ technology will let you wash siding, garage doors and shutters without stripping paint as well as delicate items such as glass top patio tables. Then switch to the high flow mode, which delivers up to five gallons per minute for extended reach to clean second story windows, eaves and gutters or to blast away hard-toreach cobwebs and insect nests. Update with paint. If a thorough washing leaves a ho-hum look behind, it may be time to revisit your home’s

exterior color scheme. Even modest adjustments, from pale beige to a deeper tan, for example, can completely alter the look. Or, focus on adding color to the trim, door and shutters if new, all-over color is out of the question. Wash where you walk. The favorable impression created by impeccable landscaping and a fresh, clean facade can be swept away in an instant if sidewalks, driveways and patios are unsightly. Skip the messy buckets and brush, and instead reach for a high pressure, high flow pressure washer such as those featuring Briggs & Stratton’s POWERflow+ technology, which include adjustable pressure and flow as well as power-soaping detergent tanks to let you clean tough stains then quickly wash them away with a single machine. Dote on the details. Decks, fences, mailboxes, birdbaths, gazebos and other decorative features all factor into your home’s exterior image. Thoroughly clean these items, repair any loose or broken pieces such as fence slats, and apply a fresh coat of paint or stain, if needed.

Maximizing Your Storage Space Begin In The Garage rethink our storage priorities and turn our garage into a space that’s more organized and functional.” Clear the floor. Since floor space is at a premium, get things off the floor and onto the wall. One option is affordable heavy duty wire shelving from ClosetMaid®. This durable shelving can withstand the weight of some of your heaviest things, plus it’s easy to install and adapts to your changing storage needs. Perfect for the garage, this product allows air to ventilate, and is not affected by the humidity or sudden fluctuations in temperature. “Wire shelving is the perfect choice for ‘DIYers’ in need of a garage makeover,” said Marrero. “It is flexible and can be customized to fit in all types of spaces, suits any climate and is easy to keep clean.”
(Family Features) A recent study found that 50 percent of homeowners claim their garage is the most disorganized place in the home. In addition, The Department of Energy cites 25 percent of people with two-car garages have too much clutter to leave room for cars, while 32 percent only have room for one vehicle. Isn’t it time to do something about the mess? This
year, focus your efforts on maximizing storage space in the garage. “It’s ironic that many of us would rather store our boxes of unwanted stuff in our garage, leaving our valuable cars outside to deal with the elements,” says Lorie Marrero, professional organizer and author of “The Clutter Diet.” “Let’s

and step ladders. Invest in an area rug. Limit the dirt tracked inside the house with an area rug or repurposed carpet. For many, the garage serves as the main entry point into the home, so be prudent and keep the entryway as clean as possible. Transforming your garage into an organized, functional space rather than a catchall is one of the best and most satisfying ways to begin an organized routine. Not only will you delight in all the space you create, but your car will simply love its new indoor home.

Surveying the wide variety of options is the first step in deciding how you’ll approach designing your outdoor space.

Bringing the indoors out. The lines between indoors and out will continue to blur as homeowners look to extend the style, comfort and function of their interior spaces to their outdoor living areas. More and more indoor activities are migrating outside with the addition of features such as outdoor kitchens, dining nooks and fireplaces. Demand also is up for features like integrated benches with cushions and accent pillows, storage components and lighting, along with accessories such as ornamental post caps and railing with decorative balusters similar to those found inside the home.

A Lush Lawn in 4 Easy Steps (Family Features) Want to get the best out of your lawn this year? Implement these simple hacks to keep your lawn green and growing, your equipment up and running, and your yard looking great: Feed your lawn. In order to maintain a healthy lawn, you should fertilize twice a year. Start the process one month after the lawn starts growing in the spring, and one month before the lawn goes dormant in the fall. Spring fertilization is imperative, as it replenishes nutrient reserves that have been used up during the first growth spurt of the season. Avoid “burning” the lawn by only fertilizing at the recommended rate and ratio for your lawn. Check with the experts at your local lawn care supply store to choose the correct dose. Perform mower checkups. A properly running mower is essential to keeping your lawn looking great. Make sure it’s ready for every mow by incorporating these maintenance tips into your routine: Change your mower oil. This should be done every 25 hours of use for a walkbehind mower, which is once a year for most users. For a lawn tractor, change the oil every 50 hours. Keep your mower clean. Brush away grass clippings from the cooling fans and keep air intake screens clear so air can pass
through. Make sure that all safety shields are in place to protect you and your family. Sharpen your blade. A dull blade will split grass blades, leaving them susceptible to disease. Sharpen the blade to about one sixty-fourth of an inch for a clean cut. Also, be sure the blade is balanced to ensure an even cut. Mulch instead of bag. Mulching while you mow leaves a thin layer of grass clippings on the lawn. These clippings gradually break down to provide additional nitrogen to the lawn. This provides a natural fertilizer throughout the mowing season. Look for mowers with specifically designed mulching mower decks and blades that cut clippings into tiny pieces, returning them to the turf. A riding mower, like the John Deere S240 Sport allows you to choose if you want to mulch, side-discharge or bag clippings without the need for additional tools. Do more with your mower. You can now do more than ever with your tractor by adding implements to help complete yard tasks more quickly, and enjoy some rest and relaxation on the weekend. Use utility carts for hauling, spreaders for applying fertilizer, aerators to renew the soil, or even a snowblower attachment to remove the snow from your driveway.
Adding implements can help complete yard tasks more quickly

Create Your Own Bathroom Retreat (Family Features) With so much time spent in the bathroom, it is important to give that space a little TLC like the rest of the home.

A bathroom should be an oasis, and the environment that it displays directly correlates with just how relaxing it is.

Tips for Decor Get inspired. Find that special something that becomes the inspiration for the entire bathroom. For example, maybe it’s a tile or even a framed picture. Keep it organized. After your creative storage ideas are put to use, restore items to their original position to keep a tidy room. Use open storage. When done correctly, displaying items can provide the bathroom with character. Find clear bottles to store extra shampoo and body wash and store it in a cute basket on an open shelf. For more ideas on how to make your bath a retreat, go to www.wellborn.com.
While this room is seen as a place of relaxation in the home, it should also be designed for function. Bathroom vanities and furniture pieces are a way to incorporate both atmosphere and storage. These are two factors that can be incorporated in any bathroom, large or small, because the key is maximizing space and creating a calm environment through decor and accessories. Relaxation Whether it’s coming home from a long day at work to a nice hot bubble bath or spending your morning getting ready and preparing for the day ahead, a bathroom is a place for a little peace and quiet. It is a retreat from the outside world, even if only for a moment. The environment desired should reflect individual style while still providing a calming presence.

Manure can be commercially purchased, or avid gardeners can work out arrangements with nearby livestock owners and farms. These people may be more than willing to give you manure for little to no cost if you cart it away. Dried manure is preferred because it will have minimal odor. Additional forms of organic amendments include wood ash, sphagnum peat, wood chips, sawdust, and worm droppings. Inorganic amendments also may be used, and are usually relied on to improve water retention and drainage. Vermiculite, perlite, pea gravel, and sand are examples of inorganic amendments. A combination of organic and inorganic amendments can create the perfect mix for your needs. Permanent plants, such as trees or shrubs, also can benefit from the extra nutrient boost amendments provide.

SPRING HOME & LAWN I 2014
Common mistakes made on home renovation projects Home improvement projects can turn a house into a home. Homeowners plan scores of renovations to transform living spaces into rooms that reflect their personal tastes and comforts.
Homeowners going it alone may find things do not always go as planned. In fact, a Harris Interactive study found that 85 percent of homeowners say remodeling is a more stressful undertaking than buying a home. But homeowners about to embark on home improvement projects can make the process go more smoothly by avoiding these common pitfalls. Failing to understand the scope of the project Some homeowners don’t realize just how big a commitment they have made until they get their hands dirty. But understanding the scope of the project, including how much demolition and reconstruction is involved and how much time a project will take can help homeowners avoid some of the stress that comes with renovation projects. For example, a bathroom renovation may require the removal of drywall, reinforcement of flooring to accommodate a new bathtub or shower enclosure and the installation of new plumbing and wiring behind walls. So such a renovation is far more detailed than simply replacing faucets. Not establishing a budget Homeowners must develop a project budget to ensure their projects do not drain their finances. If your budget is so inflexible that
you can’t afford the materials you prefer, you may want to postpone the project and save more money so you can eventually afford to do it right. Without a budget in place, it is easy to overspend, and that can put you in financial peril down the line. Worrying about coming up with money to pay for materials and labor also can induce stress. Avoid the anxiety by setting a firm budget. Making trendy or overpersonal improvements Homeowners who plan to stay in their homes for the long run have more free reign when it comes to renovating their homes. Such homeowners can create a billiards room or paint a room hot pink if they so prefer. However, if the goal is to make improvements in order to sell a property, overly personal touches may make a property less appealing to prospective buyers. Trends come and go, and
improvements can be expensive. If your ultimate goal is to sell your home, opt for renovations that will look beautiful through the ages and avoid bold choices that may only appeal to a select few buyers. Forgetting to properly vet all workers It is important to vet your contractor, but don’t forget to vet potential subcontractors as well. Failing to do so can prove a costly mistake. Contractors often look to subcontractors to perform certain parts of a job, and it is the responsibility of homeowners to vet these workers. Expecting everything to go as planned Optimism is great, but you also should be a realist. Knowing what potentially could go wrong puts you in a better position to handle any problems should they arise. The project might go off without a hitch,
but plan for a few hiccups along the way. Overestimating DIY abilities Overzealous homeowners may see a renovation project in a magazine or on television and immediately think they can do the work themselves. Unless you have the tools and the skills necessary to do the work, tackling too much can be problematic. In the long run, leaving the work to a professional may save you money. Home improvements can be stressful, but homeowners can lessen that stress by avoiding common renovation mistakes.

SPRING HOME & LAWN I 2015
Remodeling spending increases as renovations are on the rise In the not-so-distant past, home improvement projects all but came to a halt, as homeowners were weary about investing any money into fixer-uppers. But the tides have changed dramatically in recent months, and homeowners are again ready and willing to invest big dollars into home renovations.Renewed confidence in the economy and an upswing in the real estate market have contributed to the remodeling frenzy. In early 2014, the Joint Center for Housing Statistics of Harvard University forecasted nearly $150 billion in major remodeling spending over the year. JCHS said as homeowners gain more confidence in the housing market, they’re more likely to undertake home improvements they would have avoided in recent years. While the numbers do not yet match prerecession remodeling spending, the number of construction projects has steadily trended upward. According to the National Association of Home Builders, as of November 2014, a greater number of remodelers reported higher business activity than during the previous quarter. Remodeling spending has been gradually climbing back up from the alltime low it reached in 2009. This growth in home renovations has led to more jobs for carpenters, plumbers, painters, electricians, and other construction workers. In Massachusetts alone, a recovery in overall construction employment has led to a gain of about 18,000 jobs during the past four years. The Home Improvement Research Institute expects an additional 5.8 percent sales growth in

Consumers are no longer leery about investing money in home projects. home improvement spending in 2015. States that showed the highest levels of home improvement spending in 2014 are likely to continue to hold the top spots through 2015, and the National Association of Home Builders says these areas include the District of Columbia, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, and areas of southern California. Americans are not the only ones increasing their home spending. According to reports released by Moneris Solutions Corporation, Canada’s largest credit and debit card processor, purchases at home improvement stores rose by 8.49 percent over the
same period last year, and spending on plumbing and heating equipment and electrical contractors climbed by 5.14 percent and 5.08 percent, respectively. Spending patterns indicate that homeowners are investing in DIY projects as well as seeking specialized work provided by professional contractors. Now is a good time for the real estate and home improvement sectors, as homeowners have renewed their fervor for making home renovations, both to increase comfort in their homes and make their homes more buyer-friendly.

Spray foam insulation combats mold (MS) -- If you worry about mold in your home and are trying to find solutions, you can take one simple step to help prevent it from happening. Mold is commonly found in houses that have poor wall insulation. As moisture builds up, the interior of the walls can slowly rot. This gives off a foul smell and reduces the overall stability and quality of a property. You may need to completely strip your walls to effectively repair them. Such a repair can be expensive, but in order to prevent this situation from occurring, you can
choose an alternate kind of insulation for your home. Spray foam insulation, like Icynene, is a good choice, especially for preventing mold. Unlike other insulation, spray foam protects your walls against moisture by forming an air barrier. Prevention of mold, dust, dust mites and other common airborne irritants will improve the quality of the air in your home and ultimately the investment value of your house. More information on this topic is available online at icynene.com.

Thank You Sam Jacobs!
Sam chose Christian Neighbors to provide a very meaningful service as a way to earn his Eagle Scout Status. Sam challenged the local churches to a food drive throughout the month of March. This effort brought in $1,535 in food to distribute to families in need in the Otsego & Plainwell area. In addition Sam and his fellow scouts built an amazing food collection box that sits outside CN for afterhours food drop off. His leadership efforts raised $800 for supplies for the box. All money left after supplies are paid will purchase needed food for the pantry. Thanks again, Sam and thank you to all of our local boy and girl scouts who support us with their amazing efforts.

Volunteers rush to be first to walk Dusty. Dusty`s past was a sad one, therefore we feel he must go to a home with no other pets or children. We hope Dusty`s future will be a Bright one, filled with Love and companionship with adults only. He is perfect in the home and a gentleman when going for rides in the car! Dusty is a low energy dog, who begs for belly rubs till your arm falls off. He has never chewed up a toy or blanket & is content to just hanging out during the day.
Reduced Adoption Fees On Many Great Dogs!

Dusty is a young male Chow Chow mix and has been with us for almost 2 years we do not want to traumatize & confuse him by sending him to another shelter.
If you think you are a match please fill out an application asap.

Willie Wicks, owner of Canine Safe Harbor is retiring. We have enjoyed many years re-homing hundreds of beloved dogs who would otherwise be put down. We will no longer be accepting dogs into our shelter as we will be working hard to find homes for the remaining dogs. So, if you have been thinking about adopting a dog, NOW IS THE TIME. Please visit our website and see if there is a match for you and a four legged friend. Reduced adoption fees on many great dogs at our shelter.

Did Jesus really rise from death?
2. The tomb was empty. (John 20:1,2)
4. The Lord was seen. (Acts l:3 – one of many references)
5. Saul, persecutor of Christians, became Apostle Paul, the preacher of Christianity. (I Corinthians l5:9-10)
6. The Disciples preached the Resurrection. (Acts 2:24; l5:3-7)
9. The earliest Biblical reference to the resurrection (I Corinthians) dates back to within a generation of the actual events. 10. Jesus said, “… Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29)
Yes, we can be sure!
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for coming to me and to many with the reality of Your living presence in our lives. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Rev. Dan Minor will be preaching this Sunday in our church.

Words of
Frank Whitney III
AGE 52 – PLAINWELL, MI On Wednesday, April 1, 2015, Frank died at his home suddenly and unexpectedly. He will be dearly missed by the family who meant the world to him. Frank Becht Whitney III was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan to Frank Jr. and Joan (LeRoy) Whitney, who were happy to welcome their first child, Frank III, into their lives on July 10, 1962. While in high school, Frank met Wendy Witherell and over the years that they dated, they fell in love and made a lifelong commitment to one another. They married on July 7, 1984 and were thrilled at the births of each of their children: Kayla, Frank IV, and Brenna. Frank was a gregarious guy and committed man. He was outgoing and friendly, energetic and engaging. Of all his accomplishments, Frank was most proud and happy to be a husband, father and grandfather. Frank was a lifelong car guy. His first dealership employment was with Dick Loehr’s, and over time, he became the service manager at Allegan Chrysler, staying with them even after they sold to Harold Ziegler. Frank worked hard at his job and spent his career doing what came naturally. Frank was preceded in death by his mother Joan. He is survived by his wife Wendy, his children Kayla (Josh) Murdock, Frank Whitney IV and Brenna Whitney, his granddaughters Lauren & Hannah Murdock, his father Frank Whitney, Jr., his brother Mike (Nan) Whitney and sister Jennie (Eric) Szatkowski as well as many other relatives. Cremation has taken place. Funeral Services were held on April 7th at Life Story Funeral Home in Plainwell.
