said owner Dan Young. With more than 25 years experience in the construction business, Young believes in “sitting down with my customers and finding out what they want and working together to make their home exactly what they want and need.” For roofing projects Young Construction does commercial and residential buildings. Getting a new roof can be stressful for any homeowner, so Young focuses on doing the job using quality products while completing the job professionally and in a timely manner. On siding projects, material choices range from vinyl to concrete board in addition to metal. Young Construction receives a lot of calls and does a lot of exterior painting jobs on Victorian

homes. With remodeling jobs, Young Construction does the job for every room of the home from top to bottom, including interior painting and dry wall. Young said the company “really likes working on the unique and challenging homes.” “It’s such an awesome feeling when we can bring a home back to life,” he said. “Our goal at Young Construction is to provide quality, trustworthy, professional work at a price that fits our customer’s budget.” For a free consultation and estimate, Young can be reached at 641-430-0665 or online at youngconstructionnorthiowa.com. ••• KENSETT CELLUSPRAY and VAN BUTLER CONSTRUCTION are both

He loves a challenge and one of his greatest pleasures is making his customers’ dreams become a reality. He specializes in customdesigned and built homes, working on each project from start to finish, including framing, roofing, siding, dry-wall, painting, installing wood and the floors and all finish work. The homes are designed around the needs and lifestyle of his clients. Butler is willing to listen to any ideas his clients have and work together with them to bring their ideas and dreams to reality in their

new home. Butler and his crew take tremendous pride in their workmanship, and their attention to detail is unsurpassed. Energy efficiency and building green are priorities for Butler, as shown by his use of the premium Nu Wool Wallseal insulation system, energy-efficient corners, headers above windows and doors insulated with Styrofoam for increased R-value, 2-by-6 construction, and all doors and windows foam sealed. Also, exterior wall plates are caulked, energy-efficient doors and windows are used and all walls have an effective R-value of 25 and attics an R-value of 50.

Problems with installations are usually caused by an installer’s fault, said Steve, who took certified training for a couple of years. He can see what’s wrong and repair it right on site. He tries to do it all so there’s no need to send it back in. Biggest challenges are that the treatment is not working properly in the window. He can do the repair work in the home, and has built up lots of parts over the years. Steve said he enjoys the challenge of hardwood shutters, saying there’s not much forgiveness on shutters.

2011 HOME & LANDSCAPING SHOW

Time to start planning your garden t’s never too soon to start thinking about your spring garden. If you haven’t started doing that, now is the time. A few hours of planning, organizing and preparing now can save some money and give you a more manageable and efficient garden come spring. And what gardener doesn’t enjoy dreaming about all those beautiful new plants and vegetables? But first things first. Make note of the locations where plants did well and where they didn’t thrive. Which vegetables were successful and which disappointed? Read some garden books and improve your gardening skills where necessary; then spend time considering exactly what you want to plant. If you’re into salsa, for example, plan lots of space for peppers, onions and tomatoes. Do your research. By now, you should have quite a collection of seed catalogs. Use them and the Internet to sort through information on the varieties you’re interested in growing. Order seeds as soon as possible. The earlier you get your order in, the better your chances of getting

I

all the varieties you’re looking for. Once they’re ordered, you can create a growing time line. Work backward from the last average frost date in your area and start seeds indoors so they’ll be ready to set out when the temperature warms enough in the garden. To begin, just use soilless sterile seed-starting mix and something to contain it. Plastic or paper cups, pizza boxes, takeout containers, soda bottles or just about anything else you can think of will work. Poke a few small drainage holes in the bottom, add the soil and then plant the seeds according to the package’s directions. Hang up a grow light, like a fluorescent shop light, over the plants. Attach a simple timer that allows the light to remain on 16 hours each day. Adding a plastic or clear covering over your container will help hold moisture in, which is very important for seeds to germinate. But you can skip this step as long as you make sure you supply the necessary moisture. This could be every day. Although it’s probably too cold for the compost to be actively working, keep tossing eggshells, coffee grounds, vegetable waste

and other kitchen scraps (except proteins and fats) into the pile. When the weather starts warming up add water and soil and soon you’ll have some great compost to add to your garden soil. It’s the best soil amendment you can ever provide, and any time is the right time for adding compost. Maintain your tools. Clean them up, oil wooden handles and repaint metal surfaces. Sharpen shovels, pruning shears and other edged tools. Once spring arrives, they’ll be ready to go and you can head right out into the garden. Start getting together all the miscellaneous items you’ll need, too: sturdy wire for trellises and black plastic or other covers to start warming the soil and killing weed seeds. How about covering the garden with several layers of newspapers? Topped with a layer of straw or any type of mulch (leaving openings for plants to come through), they’re a great way to keep weeds at bay. I did this often in my large vegetable-garden set of “Fresh from the Garden” on DIY Network. It worked great and was a super way to recycle those newspapers. Just be sure to wet down

the paper as you spread it out. This weighs it down and helps keep it from blowing away until you get the mulch on top. This technique is also great between your planting beds and in paths as well. Finally, use last year’s bounty to inspire you. Remember the satisfaction you felt when those shrubs and trees started breaking their buds, and the sweet peas started poking through the soil? Gardening is about promise and anticipation. And winter is the best time to make plans and get motivated for the coming spring, while you still have a little time.

Besides kitchen tools, Pampered Chef offers recipes that take 30 minutes or less to prepare. There’s also a “one-pot wonder,” with a deep covered baker that looks like the liner of a crock pot with a lid.
