PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. Holy Spirit, you who makes me see everything and shows me the way to reach my ideals. You, who gives me the divine gifts to forgive and forget all that is done to me. You, who are in all the instincts of my life. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank you for everything and affirm once more that I never want to be separated from you, no matter how great the material desires. To that end, and submitting to God’s will, I ask from you (whatever your request is). Say this prayer for 3 days. After the 3rd day, the request will be granted, no matter how difficult.

How to install ceramic tiles Your dream is to have a ceramic floor in your new kitchen, and because you’re a do-it-yourself sort of person, you’re thinking about installing it yourself. Why not? Here are the steps you should follow in order for this project to be a success. Material and tools - ceramic floor tiles - adhesive cement - grout - spacers - sealant - grout float - chalk line - tile cutter - rubber mallet - tape measure - level

- ceramic tile nipper - bucket - notched trowel - grout sponge - T-square

E Y! RR -TIM U H ED R! IT FFE M I L O HOME MAGAZINE I MARCH 11 - 17, 2014

1. Check the condition of the subfloor The surface under the ceramic tiles has to be suitable for your project to be a success. If it hasn’t already been done, completely remove the old floor covering and any glue. Your floor should be straight and solid. If necessary, use selfleveling cement to obtain a smooth surface.

Establish your guidelines

Mix the adhesive cement

In a corner near the room’s entrance, or near another door, position one tile, then three on each side, for a total of seven tiles in an L shape. Use spacers to evenly space your tiles. Use the outside edge of the row of tiles to draw a line parallel to the wall with the chalk line. Repeat this exercise with the other row of tiles. Remove the tiles. To ensure that the lines are perfectly perpendicular (T-square), measure three feet along one line from the corner and mark it. Then mark the other line four feet from the corner. The distance between these two points should be five feet, making the long side of a right angled triangle. If that isn’t the case, correct the angle of one of the lines.

Use the type of adhesive cement recommended for your floor and your tiles. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Prepare enough adhesive to be able to work for a maximum of one hour: you don’t want the cement to harden in the container.

Apply the adhesive cement

Laying the tiles

Spread some adhesive cement for the first tile. With the trowel, apply enough cement on one side of your guideline to lay two or three tiles in a straight line. Continue in this way, two or three tiles at a time. Make grooves in the cement with the notched side of the trowel.

Cover the subfloor with the tiles. Use your guidelines to ensure that the tiles are correctly positioned. The spacers will help you create even grout lines. Use the mallet to apply light pressure on any tiles that are higher than the others. Gradually remove the spacers before the cement dries. Leave to dry for 24 hours.

Complete the perimeter of the room

Apply the grouting

Apply a sealant

Spring Home & Garden

You can now walk on the tiles. Decide how you’re going to cut the tiles for the perimeter of the room. Draw a line on a tile and place it carefully on the tile cutter. After cutting all the necessary tiles, you can lay them as you did for the uncut tiles. Leave to dry for at least 24 hours.

Wet the tiles slightly with water before applying the grout. Pour and work the grout into the gaps with a grout float. Work section by section. Use a damp grout sponge to swiftly remove any excess grout, as it dries quickly. Add more grout until you’re pleased with the result. Leave to dry for 24 hours.

Apply an appropriate sealant on the grouting. Avoid spreading it on the tiles. Wait for 30 minutes and repeat the application.

Windows: making the most of natural light Maximizing natural light when building or renovating a home has many advantages. Not only is natural light better for us but it also reduces the need for energy-consuming artificial lighting. Because Canadians spend much of the winter inside, exposure to good quality lighting is an important factor in keeping healthy. Variations in light affect hormone levels and biological cycles; scientific studies even show that adequate natural lighting at work can increase productivity and reduce absenteeism. Natural light also increases energy levels. When building or renovating, keep in mind that the intensity and distribution of natural light in a room depends on the dimensions of the space, the materials composing the internal surfaces, as well as its location, orientation, and the quality of the windows. Optimizing natural light • Several smaller windows are better than one large window, which causes more glare. • The positioning of windows on several walls ensures better light distribution. • High windows allow light to reach further into the home. • Windows in a horizontal line distribute daylight better than round or square windows, as the latter create a strong contrast between the window and the wall. • Large areas of dark color should be avoided or situated away from windows, as they inhibit daylight from penetrating and cause glare when they are close to bright colors. Walls facing a window should be a pale color.

HOME MAGAZINE I MARCH 11 - 17, 2014

• Matte finishes distribute light more efficiently than shiny surfaces and create less glare. • Translucent interior windows and partitions allow natural light to reach throughout the house.

Most homeowners know that the secret to selling a home quickly and at a good price is to ensure that potential buyers fall in love with the property at first sight. However, before undertaking any renovations with the aim of selling your home, take the time to think about how much you want to spend, carefully decide which aspects of your home need improvement, and draw up a list of priorities.

Spring Home & Garden

Renovating to sell

According to the experts, a first positive impression is created within one minute, or even less. Consequently doors and windows should be in good repair. The outside entrance should be pleasing to the eye, the mailbox and any light fixtures properly installed, and the yard well maintained. The inside of the home should look clean and uncluttered. To improve your chances of pleasing the majority of prospective buyers, walls should be painted in neutral colors, such as beige, pale grey, or ivory. Lots of welcoming light is also a must, so don’t hesitate to replace shabby looking light fixtures. This sort of inexpensive improvement can make a real difference in a potential buyer’s perception.

HOME MAGAZINE I MARCH 11 - 17, 2014

A few inexpensive jobs can often be enough to make a real difference to potential buyers.

Floor coverings also have an impact. Obviously, changing the flooring is a more costly and time consuming improvement but it can make all the difference. Carpets are to be avoided unless they are reasonably new and in very good condition. Wood, good quality floating floors, or tiling are preferable and are available at reasonable prices. Lastly, if it’s not possible to completely remodel the kitchen or the bathroom, you could simply make a few small improvements: change the cabinet handles or knobs and give them a fresh coat of paint; replace broken tiles; de-clutter; and add a few up-to-date decorative elements.

RENOVATING TOGETHER? PLAN CAREFULLY It’s always fun to do projects together as a couple, but home renovations, even if they promise more comfort or luxury, can cause real headaches for those involved. All the work that has to be done, a tight deadline and budget, and the many decisions to be taken all bring added stress to the relationship. The tension can be even greater if you have different ideas on how to do things! So, before getting down to work, it would be wise to examine all the possibilities, discuss your different tastes, and agree on some guidelines. To be sure you have understood each other well, make some sketches or consult a few decoration and renovation magazines, taking note of images that match the style you’re looking

for. When your tastes differ, be prepared to make some compromises so that you’ll both feel satisfied with what you have accomplished. Next, it is time to agree on how the renovation will progress. Who will carry out the work, what will your budget be, and how long should the renovations take? You’ll both feel less stressed if you answer all these questions before you start the work. Arguments about money can be avoided if you know in advance what portion of the budget is reserved for buying a new bathtub or drapes for the new bedroom. Keep in mind that communication and good planning are the keys to success for home renovations.

Beautiful faucets change everything Faucets can make all the difference in giving a perfect finishing touch to a new basin, bath, or kitchen sink. Available in a huge variety of styles, colours, and materials, modern faucets also offer some interesting options for those who want to combine style with practicality. Modern bathrooms and kitchens use mixer taps, meaning the hot and cold water are mixed before leaving the spout. They are available in various heights and styles but always have a spout with one or two handles. The base can be square, rectangular, or circular with clean-cut lines. Centerset faucets are the most common and are made to be installed in a single hole in the sink. These faucets have a base that typically requires making only one hole in the sink and come with two separate taps and a spout mounted on a single deck plate. There is a wide range of styles and finishes to suit every taste, including many with elaborate details. These days, it is increasingly common to find what is called widespread bathtub faucets, where the taps for hot and cold water, as well as the spout, are separate entities. This type of installation requires three holes in the bath but allows consumers more choice, as the faucets and the spout can be chosen separately.
