Real Estate Section 2

Is it hard to finish the home projects you start?

(NC) It’s no secret that the DIY trend is growing in Canada. Homeowners are taking on more projects themselves, from major renovations to small repairs, interior and exterior design and crafting.

In fact, Ipsos Reid research firm recently reported that in the last year, 73% of Canadian’s have taken on a DIY home improvement project – not a surprising number considering the tightening budgets and growing independence of the population. These DIYers are turning to new ways to get the job done and finding pride and savings in the projects they complete.

Although taking on such projects is popular, it turns out that finishing them is the real challenge. This insight is the inspiration behind a new resource, www. helpingyoufinish.ca – an online community dedicated to educating, inspiring and helping us to cross the DIY finish line.

“We want to instill confidence and pride in Canadians and inspire them to not only take on new projects, but to finish what they’ve started. Our digital resource provides step by step guidance, plus ideas, tips and techniques for success. It also connects you with likeminded Canadians who truly love all things DIY.”

“Our company has been working with homeowners for almost a century, so we know the challenges you face – and we’re here to help,” says Lawrence Genga, the senior director of marketing and research and development at Rust-Oleum Consumer Brands Canada.

A platform for sharing experiences, as well as oneon-one access with project experts, the new helpingyoufinish.ca community is a resource for those seeking answers, ideas or inspiration. www.newscanada.com

ALL HANDS ON DECK (NC) Summer is here and you are looking at your deck or patio and wondering how much longer it’s going to last.

Is it starting to splinter? Are the stones rough and painful to walk on? How are you going to find the time or money to fix it without cutting into your free time or without blowing the budget? It’s no secret that a deck replacement is a big investment – one many of us like to avoid where possible.

So, before you dig into your wallet or get out the sledge hammer, make sure you’ve explored your options.

First, start by checking your deck or patio carefully to make sure the structural integrity is sound.

Improving the look of a deck that is damaged won’t extend its life. The same goes for a path or patio that has heaved excessively over the winter or is full of puddles after it rains. In those cases, a more significant repair, or replacement, is needed.

A Small Repair Sometimes the entire deck isn’t in need of an update, just certain trouble spots. In this case, there’s no reason to do an overhaul – just a simple touch up is needed. For example, if you’re experiencing cracks in cement or divots in your wood, there are a number of filler solutions available today that can help combat these issues.

A Fresh Look If your wooden deck is still structurally sound but visibly in need of help, it may be time to consider a fresh stain. When taking on a stain project be sure to properly prep and finish your surfaces – cleaning and sanding prior to staining, and using a quality clear coat or sealer following application, will provide the best results and longer-lasting protection.

A Firm Fix If your deck is beyond simple beautification, but structurally sound, the answer may be to ‘restore’ it.

New products available on the market such as Restore (by Rust-Oleum) are allowing homeowners to update the look and durability of their decks without having to replace. And what most people love is that it’s thicker than most other deck coatings, allowing it to be applied right onto existing surfaces without stripping or sealing.

“Restore is an advanced coating designed to reinvigorate your wooden decks, concrete patios

Choosing the Right Broker CAN SAVE YOU

$1,000's!!

and even vertical surfaces such as retaining walls,” says Lawrence Genga, the senior director of marketing and research and development at Rust-Oleum Consumer Brands Canada. “Its thick application fills in imperfections, locks down splinters, and provides lasting protection against moisture and the damaging effects of the sun. It’s also slip-resistant.”

With product options like this, you can be sure that a deck or patio restoration will be at the top of every ‘honey-do’ list this summer. www.newscanada.com

PET TIP: Once again the Cat and Kitten problem is awful. These poor animals are being dumped and are left to fend for themselves despite the young age of some of them. Domestic cats do not usually do well thrown away in some remote or dangerous location. Spay and neuter is the obvious answer to this issue. If you know of someone who has dumped animals contact the SPCA or Police Department. If you don’t protect these innocents and stand up for them you are as bad as the abuser is. Think about it.

CURB APPEAL STARTS WITH YOUR DRIVEWAY NC) When homeowners envision the ‘curb appeal’ of their property, favourite features such as landscaping, windows and even decorative pieces come easily to mind – but what about the driveway? Is yours attractive, or is it an eyesore?

This summer, don’t wait for the kid with the vat of black goo and a $10 roller brush to take care of the driveway for you. Take matters into your own hands and do it yourself.

“Although a door-to-door service may seem simpler, the materials used are often not designed to last or preserve your driveway the way we need them to,” explains Lawrence Genga, the senior director of marketing and research and development at Rust-Oleum Consumer Brands Canada. “When homeowners are proactive with the right products and do a driveway reno themselves, it not only improves the look, but also the life of their driveway.”

As your driveway gets older, it will fade and crack. Canada’s winters are cruel to asphalt, with buckling, heaving and salt all doing their best to turn it into a grey sponge. A fading driveway

can be an indicator that the asphalt is breaking down. As a homeowner, your best first step is to inspect the surface– not just the colour, but the quality.

Check for cracks, loose patches or low spots that puddle and can indicate poor drainage.

Make sure there isn’t a big dip outside your garage and that the driveway hasn’t settled away from the house either.

If you encounter bigger issues related to the foundation you may need to call in the professionals. However, if a driveway is simply in need of a little TLC, there are effective products such as EpoxyShield Driveway to help homeowners tackle these issues themselves.

“EpoxyShield Driveway is a line of high-quality products designed to help clean, repair and beautify your driveway and to help you do it right the first time,” Genga continues. “From small

repairs such as filling cracks, to bigger projects such as levelling issues or complete re-coating, this product is helping homeowners to improve the look and performance of their driveways – without all the headaches.” www.newscanada.com

SIX SIMPLE STEPS TO AN ORGANIZED AND SENSATIONAL GARAGE SPACE (NC) Move over kitchens and bathrooms, homeowners are focusing on a new part of the home: the garage. No longer just a place to park the car and lawn equipment, today’s garages are getting bigger and better. Here are a few quick and easy projects to create a useful and organized garage.

favorite colour to not only make it look great, but keep the metal surface protected from rust. Next, mount a work surface to the top. Now you’ll have a designated work area – with all your necessary tools within arm’s reach. Plus, add a few bar stools and it can double as an entertainment station as well!

Make a grand entrance. While your garage may be a mess inside, begin your update with a good exterior impression. Adding a coat of paint to the main garage doors can make a dramatic update. And don’t stop there. Jazz up metal side-entrance doors with a more vibrant shade. Rust Protector spray paint from Krylon is an excellent choice to provide superior metal protection – and it dries in just eight minutes to let you carry on with the rest of your projects.

Empty and organize. Now that your garage islooking great from the outside, it’s time to tackle the inside. Start by pulling everything out into the driveway, organizing the contents into groups: lawn and garden; tools and hardware; toys, games and bikes; and for items you no longer want or need – garage sale. While the space is empty, give it a good cleaning from top to bottom.

Create a workstation. No matter what your hobbies or interests, you’ll likely need a space to do work. Assess how much room you can allocate and then create a station to accomplish tasks easily. Old metal tool cabinets are an excellent way to create an inexpensive DIY workbench.

First, thoroughly clean the surfaces and then spray paint with Krylon Rust Protector in your

Keep hardware handy. While tool cabinets keep tools neatly stored away, there are some readily used tools that you want to keep in plain sight.For these items, hang a pegboard on the wall above your new workstation and equip it with a variety of hooks and bins. To take your organization a step further, spray paint outlines of each tool to show where they go. Finally, there will be no excuse to not put the screwdriver away!

Let there be light. If your garage is like most, it

has a single incandescent bulb hanging from the ceiling… definitely not emitting enough light to do any work. Luckily, lighting up your space can be simple and inexpensive with a fluorescent light fixture. Available in a variety of lengths, these fixtures can easily be installed by hanging from chains mounted into the ceiling and simply plugging into a power source – no need for electrical wiring.

Create smart shelving. When your work area is complete, it’s time to find a place for the other items.

Shelving is always a great option – but can be expensive to purchase.

A more affordable option is to recycle cabinets or shelves that you already have in your home. Have an old microwave cart, plastic shelves or even old kitchen cabinets left from a remodel? They are the perfect home for garden equipment or kids toys.

Clean the surfaces and then paint them to achieve a finished look. Think you can’t paint plastic? Think again.

Krylon’s new Dual Superbond spray paint features a proprietary formula that offers a high-adhesion, specialty primer that ensures top performance even on hard-to-paint surfaces such as plastics, laminates and melamine, as well as other commonly painted surfaces.

With a bit of organization and effort, you can transform your garage from cluttered to classy in no time at all. For more information on project ideas, visit www.krylon.ca. www.newscanada.com

Keep clean-up a breeze this barbecue season There’s nothing better than firing up the grill and enjoying your summertime favourites on the patio. But even if your next barbecue masterpiece is finger-licking good, it can still leave a mess.

Spend less time on prep and clean-up and more time enjoying the season with these easy backyard barbecue tips, courtesy of the Canadian paper towel brand, Royale Tiger Towel: • Save trips back and forth to the kitchen. Use a sturdy tray or condiment caddy to carry your favourite toppings, cutlery and napkins in one trip.

• Don’t let spills and messes build up on the outside of your barbecue. As soon as the surface cools, spray it with barbecue-friendly cleaner and wipe with a paper towel. Do the same for any work surfaces and patio furniture.

• Corn on the cob is a staple for many backyard meals, but removing the silk can be tough. Make it easy by running a moistened paper towel over the kernels after the husk has been removed.

• Keep paper towels secure and within reach by attaching the holder to the bottom of a picnic

table. Then, just pop in a roll as needed.

• Help create a non-stick surface and reduce the mess that’s left behind after grilling by dipping a paper towel in a small amount of oil, holding it with metal tongs and carefully rubbing it over the barbecue grate.

• Quickly chill drinks by wrapping a bottle or can with a wet paper towel and sticking it in the freezer for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Just keep track of the time to ensure drinks don’t freeze all the way to avoid an unwanted mess.
