BUYING A BOAT 4 things you should do when

Do you want to buy a boat so you can enjoy life on the water this summer? If so, here are four things you should do when making your purchase.

1. Consider your requirements

The first thing you need to do is determine how you plan to use your boat. If you want to cruise around large bodies of water, for example, you’ll need a boat that can withstand waves. Once you determine what type of boat suits your needs, you can narrow down your options.

2. Learn about different models

Before purchasing a boat, you should research your

options. It’s a good idea to consult professionals and ask friends and family members who own boats for their advice. You should also attend boat shows and visit marinas to see the types of boats that interest you. Taking these steps will ensure you buy a boat that meets your needs.

3. Think about maintenance

If you want to enjoy your boat for years to come, you need to make sure it gets annually serviced. You should also set aside money for repairs in case it gets damaged or breaks down.

4. Factor in extra costs

There are many hidden costs associated with buying a boat. To stay within your budget, remember to factor in additional expenses such as docking your boat at the marina, buying a trailer to tow it to and from your home, and paying for winter storage.

There are many other elements to consider when purchasing a boat including its layout, horsepower, size and features. Permits and insurance will also be needed. To ensure you’re completely satisfied with your purchase, take your time when making a choice.

Build a campfire

Sitting around a roaring campfire with friends and family is one of the best parts of camping. Here’s what you need to do to build the perfect fire.

1. Gather everything you need including a lighter or matches, newspaper, fire starter, kindling and firewood.

2. Crumple up a few pieces of newspaper and place them in the firepit.

3. Place a fire starter or a few twigs on top of the crumpled newspaper.

4. Arrange the kindling in a cone shape over the nest of newspaper and twigs. Leave enough room for air to circulate.

5. Light the newspaper or fire starter in several spots using a match or lighter.

6. Build up the fire with logs using your method of choice once you have a steady flame.

In some campgrounds, you’re not allowed to gather wood directly on site. Instead, you must purchase it from a reception desk or local store. If you’re allowed to collect firewood at your campsite, make sure to only gather it from dead or fallen trees. Finally, be careful to not pitch your tent too close to the firepit. If there’s no designated firepit, make sure your campfire isn’t near any low-hanging branches or bushes.

HOW TO

Liven up your backyard 4 WAYS TO

Do you want to upgrade your backyard this summer? If so, here are a few ideas that may inspire you to transform your outdoor space into a family-friendly oasis.

1. Install a play structure

Purchase and install a play structure for your kids to climb, swing and slide on. If you’re a skilled DIYer, you can also build your own tire or rope swing. Just make sure everything’s safe.

2. Put in a swimming pool

Both in-ground and above-ground pools are great for the whole family. They provide hours of fun for the kids, and adults can enjoy a refreshing dip or workout.

3. Build a treehouse

It doesn’t need to be big or elaborate for your kids to enjoy having their own treehouse. Just make sure it’s safe, stable and weatherproof.

4. Create an outdoor theater

All you need is a TV or a projector and a large sheet to have a movie night under the stars. If you have a large backyard, you can add a few speakers to improve the sound quality. You can also lay out cushions and blankets to create a cozy atmosphere.

To find the materials you need for your backyard project, visit the stores in your area.
