AFTER A STORM
inter is here, which means we should expect colder temperatures and an increased risk of ice storms and significant snowfall in the coming months.
-Once the storm has passed, check the snow accumulation levels on your roof, particularly on the downwind side where blowing snow typically collects. If there’s been a lot of accumulation, consult a professional contractor who can remove excess ice and snow safely.
W
Like hailstorms, snowstorms can cause significant damage to your vehicle and your home. While you may not be able to stop a storm from damaging your property, you can usually help reduce the amount of damage it causes. Here’s a list of tips to help you stay safe before, during, and after a winter storm. BEFORE A WINTER STORM -Consider installing storm windows or covering the interior-facing side of windows with plastic film to keep cold air out. -Keep trees and shrubbery trimmed. Some shrubs and plants may benefit from being covered with burlap to prevent damage from snow and ice. Remove all tree branches that hang over your roof and walkways. Branches that get heavy from ice and snow can break off and fall. If you’re unable to reach these areas safely, con-
sider hiring a professional. -Keep your eaves troughs and downspouts clean of leaves and debris so snow and ice can’t collect in them. -In the event that a weather emergency requires you to stay at home for a few days, be prepared by creating an emergency preparedness plan and have a kit ready with flashlights, batteries, blankets, some non-perishable food, and bottles of water. -For your vehicle, schedule a winter maintenance inspection with your mechanic, and install winter tires and new wiper blades. Also be sure to create a winter safety kit and store in your trunk so you are ready if you are on the road when a winter storm strikes.
make roads impassable and leave drivers stranded.
-Clear snow and ice from basement stairwells, window wells, gutters and around walls.
-Keep everyone, including your pets, indoors. If you need to go outside to clear snow, dress in layers, take breaks, and stretch in between shovelling.
-Keep sidewalks and front steps of your home clear of ice and snow to help prevent falls.
-To help prevent pipes from freezing and bursting, keep your home heated to a minimum of 18°C. Open cabinet doors in your kitchen and bathrooms to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing.
DURING A STORM
-If you discover that pipes are frozen, don’t wait for them to burst. Take measures to safely thaw them immediately (such as wrapping pipes in warm towels or using a hot air from a hair dryer), or turn off the main water line and call a plumber for assistance.
-Stay off the roads. A blizzard can
-If you’re going to be away, drain the
-Clear snow from gas or propane meters, and exhaust vents. Become familiar with your community’s severe weather warning system and make sure every member of your family knows what to do in case severe weather hits. Learn about the emergency plans at your workplace, as well as at your children’s school and/or daycare.

Countertop decisions Can't decide which countertop surface is best for you? Well, that is not surprising Liz’s Liz’ TipsTips considering the numerous countertop surfaces available. By Liz by LizQuinn Quinn Brought to you by The Homefinder
more broadly to encompass un-metamorphosed limestone. Marble is quarried from the earth. The marble family - limestone, travertine, marble, onyx - start out as sediment - animal skeletons and shells, plant matter, silt - at the bottom of bodies of water. After millions of years this solidifies (lithifies) into stone. Because its main component is calcium, it can be affected by acids such as vinegar and citrus. * Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form". ** Lithification is derived from the Greek word 'lithos', meaning 'rock'. It is a geology term which refers to a process whereby sediments compact under pressure, expel connate fluids and gradually become solid rock. Lithification may occur at the time sediment is deposited or later. What is “cultured” marble? The following information is to help you find a stylish surface that resists most stains, scratches and spills and fits your budget! Explore the differences between highly popular natural stone surfaces, and read helpful information to help you decide which of the many kitchen countertop surfaces is perfect for your project. What is granite? Granite is a very hard igneous rock made up of feldspar, mica and quartz. Granite is formed deep in the earth's mantle at extremely high temperatures. It is a very hard, resistant stone made of crystallized minerals. Although Granite is very durable and capable of lasting a very long time, this product is porous, so staining is possible without a quality sealer. Granite being crystalline in structure always has tiny pits spaces between the various mineral crystals. Some granites pit more than others when being polished, we suggest that you take a closer look at the slab you choose for your job. Chances are, if you look at it across the light you will notice the natural pitting of that stone. Remember, this is natural and it should not be considered an imperfection of the stone. Granite sometimes has natural fissures as well, which may look like cracks, but are not structural defects and are a naturally occurring result of the immense heat and pressure which formed the granite eons ago. These characteristics are part of the natural beauty of stone and will not impair the function or durability of the material. A product of nature cannot be expected to look manmade.
Marble dust is combined with cement or synthetic resins to make reconstituted or cultured marble. The appearance of marble can be simulated with faux marbling, a painting technique that imitates the stone's color patterns. Cultured marble is a versatile building material; it is very cost effective and has a number of colour options including limited colour matching. Cultured marble is a composite product made of 75% marble stone and 25% resin and pigments. Each part is custom molded to your specifications, so it is seamless and there is no waste in the manufacturing process. This product is non-porous and is easy to clean, but may scratch. Scratches can be polished out and even small chips can be repaired. What is quartz?
Quartz is a manufactured stone (also called engineered quartz or engineered stone) comprised of 93% quartz stone and 7% resin binder. It is hard to duplicate the veining and pattern look you get from genuine marble or granite. As an engineered product, it's available in a far greater range of colors and patterns than natural stone; quartz is artificially colored throughout for a custom and unique look. Quartz is slightly more expensive than granite. The chunks of quartz are recombined using intense pressure and heat. As a result of this process, quartz typically does not have the veining or porosity that is found in natural stone. Pricing tends to be higher than granite, but quartz offers a stronger, non-bacterial surface. For those people who do not like the wild variation that can be found with some granite, quartz offers a more What is “natural” marble? regular appearance. There are visible seams in quartz, just The Romans conquered Greece, observed the Latin poet like granite.

No luxury eastern product had a more all-pervasive effect on the exterior and interior appearance of Rome and its provincial cities in the west than the exotic marble imported from the Orient. The symbolic potential of this product was fully appreciated by Rome's first emperor, Augustus, and consistently employed by his successors. Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Geologists use the term "marble" to refer to metamorphosed* limestone; however, stonemasons use the term
