Prepare Winter for

with

Fall Cleaning

Though spring cleaning might have the name recognition, many homeowners spend just as much time cleaning their homes in the fall as they do in the spring. Spring might be the season for clearing out the clutter, but fall is when homeowners prepare their homes for the long winter months ahead. End - ofs u m m e r cleaning is essential for homeowners who want to ensure that their homes are not only cozy and comfortable, but also healthy as well. The following are a few tips homeowners can employ to make their home a

welcoming and healthy respite from the winter cold. • Clean seasonal items before storing them away. When summer has ended, homeowners should place all summerrelated items, including the grill, patio furniture, and lawn and garden equipment, in storage. • Get a head start on fighting the flu by keeping the interior of your home clean and sanitized. • Clean out the garage. A garage that’s clear of clutter can be used to safeguard a vehicle from winter snowstorms while saving homeowners the hassle of digging their car out of all that ice and snow. Also, cleaning the garage at the end of summer creates more room for various seasonal items to be stored. • Address mold and mildew ahead of time. Winter can trap moisture inside a home, creating an environment that is ideal for the growth of mold and mildew. • Don’t forget the fireplace, which becomes an ideal gathering place for family and friends once winter weather arrives. Before burning the season’s first fire, though, be sure to remove any potential safety hazards that might have accumulated near the fireplace, such as old newspapers or magazines. Also, clean the inside of the fireplace before using it, making sure to remove any ash, carbon deposits, creosote build-up, dust, smoke residue, and soot.

Time For a A roof can last between 15 and 30 years, so there comes a time in many homeowners' lives when they're faced with the reality that a roof replacement is necessary. Is there a particular time of year that is better for having a roof installed? It depends on different factors, including the availability of a roofing contractor. In general, one can expect to spend $18,000 on average to replace a roof with asphalt shingles. Use of other materials, like tile or metal, typically cost more than this. Homeowners living in cities tend to pay more than those in rural areas. Because a roof replacement is expensive, it is something that some homeowners prefer to put off until it is absolutely necessary. Others are interested in finding the best rate around and hiring reliable roofers for the job. There really is no season where roof replacements are off-limits. Most roofers can do the job effectively unless the temperature is below freezing or if there is significant rain in the forecast. While homeowners may naturally gravitate toward spring and summer roofing projects, these seasons may not be the best for such a job. Springtime is often a busy season for roofers, possibly leading to higher prices and lower availability. Also, roofers may be less willing to complete projects during the hot summer weather.

Instead, homeowners may want to consider setting up a roofing job for autumn or winter. In fact, planning a winter roofing job may actually work to a homeowner's advantage. As this is typically a slow time of year for roofers, they may be willing to negotiate on price and be able to start immediately. Many homeowners opt to have a roof replacement in the autumn. The crisp weather and the overall decline in home-renovation projects can make this a prime time to contract with a quality roofer. If the roof is very much damaged, replacing it before winter weather sets in can be advantageous. Some homeowners find they can get a discount on a roof installation if they bundle different renovations together. A contractor may offer a special on siding and roofing together. For those who have the funds, this may be the opportunity to get two jobs done at once. A roofing project is no small undertaking, and homeowners are wise to get several referrals and investigate a variety of companies before settling on one. Reviewing sites, such as Angie's List, or simply obtaining word-of-mouth appraisals from friends and family members can help make choosing a roofer an easier decision.

Tips for Proper Furniture Care Dusting: Dry dusting with a softclothmoistened with a non-silicone polish weekly or every two weeks will more effectively

prevent grime buildup on furniture.

Polishing or Waxing: Do not polish or wax furniture too much or too frequently. Using a heavy-duty polish or wax such as Briwax three of four times per year will be sufficient for furniture care. Avoid products that contain silicone. Cleaning: Furniture will need an occasional cleaning to remove grime and polish buildup. When cleaning furniture, always rub with the grain of the wood. Use a commercial cleaner or mild soap such as Murphy’s Oil Soap and warm water. After washing, wipe surfaces with a clean cloth to dry and allow them to dry for a day. When they are dry, apply a thin coat of polish.

Furniture Abuse: Regular chairs should not be used for rocking, as this will put a strain on all the glue joints. If the chair is already loose, it could collapse. If the legs and stretchers of a chair or rocker become loose, do not fix them using nails or screws. Instead, reglue them yourself or request assistance from a professional restorer. If you reglue, clean any old glue from the joint and use the glue-to-glue technique rather than the glue-to-wood method. Yellow carpenters glue is an effective product. Tabletops should be protected with table pads, placemats, or trivets for hot dishes. Use coasters for glasses and cups to prevent water damage due to sweating. Following these tips will keep your furniture looking good for a long time. By H. C. Garman

Humidity: For best results, maintain a humidity level in the home of between 40 to 60 percent. Air that is too dry will cause glue joints to loosen, which will produce cracks in the wood. Too much moisture in the air will cause wood to swell, which may make doors and drawers stick. The proper humidity in the home will be healthier for humans and pets, as well. Do’s and Don’ts: Do not place furniture in direct sunlight for extended periods of time, as ultraviolet rays from the sun can bleach the wood. In the event that food or liquid spills on furniture, wipe the substances off as soon as possible with a damp cloth followed by a dry cloth. Cover scratches using a product such as Old English Scratch Remover so that dirt will not build up in the scratch. Use the correct shade of remover to match the color of the furniture.

Insulation The heater is working overtime to combat below-freezing outside temperatures, but there are still cold, drafty areas throughout the house. Does this sound familiar? The United States Department of Energy says that household heating and cooling accounts for around 54 percent of the average American's utility bill. Savings can be achieved through proper equipment maintenance and upgrades. However, the Department of Energy explains that an energy-efficient furnace alone will not have as great an impact on energy bills as using a whole-house approach. Though not necessarily difficult or costly to fix, drafts around the house can be an uncomfortable nuisance and may require a little more elbow grease than more minor home issues. Specialists in the field say that any cold or drafty areas within a home are typically caused by air leaks within the building envelope. Air leaks can make rooms uncomfortable and allow air to escape, forcing heating equipment to work continually to

compensate. In addition, stop-gap solutions such as caulking and sealing might not be sufficient. Whether building a new home or renovating, it may be worthwhile to consider a complete solution that makes household drafts a thing of the past. If traditional insulation material has been installed, replacing it with a modern alternative can help alleviate the high monthly energy costs. In fact, some modern insulation materials can both insulate and air seal in one step. Spray foam insulation, for example, seals the entire building envelope and provides a cost-saving option for homeowners looking to reduce energy waste and save on their monthly energy bills. Over the long term, the savings certainly add up. Modifications to the way you manage your home's energy consumption can lead to significant financial rewards and reassurance. A professional, such as an energy rater or inspector, will help make an educated assessment to the actual requirements within the home and where the value lies.

* Check the fireplace. If the damper on the fireplace is open, drafts will enter the home. Simply close the damper, and the home will likely get a lot less drafty. * Check for gaps around windows and doors. Windows and doors that aren’t properly sized are no doubt inviting drafts into the home. Use weather stripping and press it into the gaps around the frame to block drafts. * Hang heavier curtains or drapes. The heavier the material, the more effective it will be at keeping cold air from circulating around the room. * Inspect the attic. The air inside a heated home is pressurized and then driven through ceiling penetrations and into the attic, creating leaks that allow warmth to escape the house while inviting colder air in. Plug any air leaks into the attic, which should eliminate drafts and condensation.

Upcycling: Transforming

“

the

Old into a ”

Better “New”

Turn old or discarded furniture, cabinets, and doors into fresh, new creations through "upcycling" - high-end "recycling" that reduces trash at landfills by refurbishing or repurposing existing pieces, often enhancing the value. Here are some tips and product ideas to get you started:

Upcycling Projects * Family furniture: Save chairs, tables, and other furniture passed down through the generations by doing repairs if needed and by staining/painting to suit your current decor. * Other furniture or "yard sale finds": These also can be stabilized and given a new look through staining/ painting or distressing. However, some may lend themselves to transformation for other uses, such as turning a chest of drawers into bookshelves, a chair into a swing, a dresser into a seat, and more. * Doors and more: Solid wood doors make great tops for tables and kitchen islands, and old-fashioned screen doors hung from the ceiling can store pots and pans. Old windows make attractive wall hangings used "as is" or with additions, such as photos. * Cabinets: Change the look of your kitchen, bathroom, or workshop with a new color for your cabinets and new handles and pulls.

Helpful Products

There are many products that make upcycling projects simple and successful.

* Repair: Furniture that has been around for a while may need repair. For weak chair joints, drill a hole, inject a special glue designed [12] home appeal Fall 2013

minor scratches and blemishes. To change or refurbish the color, consider the easy-to-use products listed below. In addition, surface prep for furniture and cabinets requires only cleaning and light sanding. For a beautiful, hand-rubbed wood finish look, use a gel stain and topcoats product, which should Continued on pg 14

For projects that involve disassembly of furniture or doors, followed by reassembly of some pieces into a new creation, use a pocket-hole jig system to strengthen the joints. To add to the strength of a piece of furniture, use chair braces, which are designed for corner reinforcement on chairs, tables, chests, and more, for quick, easy construction and repairs. * Color: Once you have selected and/or repaired a piece of old furniture or created a new piece from an existing one, determine where your upcycled piece will "live," which color or colors will look best there, and which type of paint or finish will achieve the desired effect. Use a wood restoration product to penetrate the current finish on an heirloom or other old piece of furniture and "uncover" its original finish. Such products revive the luster on the wood’s finish while blending out

be available in various shades. Urethane stains and topcoats are easy to use: Simply wipe on with a rag and wipe off the excess. To protect the gel stain, especially for heavy-use surfaces such as tabletops, use gel satin t o p c o a t , polyacrylic t o p c o a t , or highper formance topcoat. Water-based milk paints and glaze effects offer a wide range of color possibilities as well, with a number of premixed acrylic colors and the option of combining two colors. Use a topcoat between applications. To create eye-catching decorative finishes such as distressing, antiquing, marble effects, shabby chic, and more, choose a translucent glaze effect to go with any waterbased stain or paint. Old-fashioned milk paint is a powder made from earth pigments, which is mixed with water to make a number of rich colors that authentically reflect hues found on existing antique furniture and buildings. Use paint stripper to uncover the original wood surface on furniture. Several varieties exist that are easy to use, are virtually odorless, and have no known health hazards.

a Cost-Effective Kitchen Renovation Renovating a kitchen is a great way to increase the value and functionality of a home. In fact, kitchen renovations are one of the most popular home improvement projects. A kitchen is a central gathering place and is one of the most popular family gathering spots in the house. With traditional dining rooms being eliminated in favor of open, eatin kitchens and entertaining spaces, more attention is now being placed on a well-designed kitchen. The average remodeling budget for a kitchen renovation exceeds $30,000, but there are ways to keep budgets in check. * Do some of the work yourself to reduce money

spent on labor costs. * Consider laminate flooring and counters, which will look like real stone but at a fraction of the cost. * Skip custom cabinetry in favor of stock units, which offer a number of attractive options and don't require the wait time of custom-ordered cabinets. * Choose less expensive, mid-range appliances, many of which function as effectively as high-cost models. * Plan the layout accurately and spend time reviewing your designs. Late changes in a remodeling project are often not budget friendly.

Glass Dirty windows are unsightly, and they can prevent beneficial sunlight from entering a home. Cleaning windows need not be done every week but shouldn't be overlooked completely, either. Even a home with a perfectly manicured lawn and the newest roofing and siding can seem unappealing if the windows are dirty.

* cleaning solution

Keeping windows clean requires a good deal of work, especially when it comes to second-story windows. While it certainly may be a chore to clean windows, there are ways to make the task much more tolerable and efficient. Having the right tools on hand and a strategy in place will make the job easier to manage.

* extension pole to reach high windows

Cleaning windows Cleaning windows isn't necessarily easy, but the following nine-step process can make the task less difficult and time-consuming. 1. Choose an overcast day so you will not be blinded by the sun while cleaning. This also helps prevent streaking. Begin by gathering all the necessary supplies. Having everything handy will enable you to move easily from one window to the next. Here are the basic supplies you will need:

Mix your own cleaning solution It may take trial and error to find a solution that works. Here is one recipe: 1 cup white vinegar 1 and 1/2 cups rubbing alcohol 2 drops of dish soap Pour into a clean, empty spray bottle. Never mix bleach and ammonia together to create a cleaning solution, as toxic fumes will result.

* cloth, newspaper, or squeegee * towel * spray bottle * vacuum * ladder or step stool * garden hose 2. Remove curtains, drapery, or blinds when cleaning the windows. This will allow you to have an unobstructed surface with which to work while also giving you a perfect opportunity to clean the window coverings. 3. Start with the interior side of the windows, as they are easier to access. Place a towel on the sill to catch any drops so the sill or the floor will stay dry. 4. Spray a lint-free cloth or spray the window directly with the cleaning solution. The edges and corners of the window tend to accumulate the most grime, so begin by cleaning

5. To create a streak-free surface, use a squeegee to drag out any pockets of moisture for more even drying. Be sure to wipe the rubber strip of the squeegee after each pass on the window. You may choose to buff out any other streaks with newspaper.

7. Repeat the process for all interior windows.

9. If exterior second-floor windows are hard to reach, consider using a ladder and extension pole to extend your reach. If the windows are simply too high up, rely on a professional window cleaner to get the job done rather than risking falls or other injuries.

6. Vacuum the windowsill and frame afterward to catch any dust and debris. 8. Move outdoors and start by spraying the window with a garden hose to loosen any accumulated grime. Use your cleaning solution to dissolve the rest of the dirt. You may want to let the solution sit on the window for several minutes if there is stubborn grime. Repeat the cleaning process used indoors for each window.
