04 Prepare your home to withstand any weather Real Estate

10 03 12

The weather these days seems to be more volatile than ever -- swinging from record-setting heat waves to deep freezes, seemingly from one day to the next.

With the weather more varied and unpredictable, homeowners nationwide have learned lessons from the past year and are taking steps to ensure their houses can efficiently withstand whatever Mother Nature dishes out.

It’s all about keeping

homes sealed tightly, so water and wind can’t leak in and tempered air doesn’t leak out -- causing heating and cooling bills to rise.

Beware of Foundation Cracks Water is the enemy of your home’s foundation. A change in moisture content of the soil around your home allows water to put pressure on the foundation, causing cracks and leaks.

Dry weather can cause the

soil to shrink, while wet periods can cause it to soften.

Poor drainage from your roof or improper ground slope around your home can funnel water against the home’s foundation.

Make sure gutters are clean and that downspouts extend away from your home. Check that the soil, grass or pavement properly slopes away from your foundation.

Insulate Effectively Upgrading a home’s insula-

tion is an effective, easy way to increase energy efficiency while decreasing heating costs. The attic is a great start, but to achieve maximum efficiencies, don’t overlook areas such as basements and rim joists.

The U.S. Department of Energy estimates homeowners could save an average of at least $250 yearly in heating costs by insulating basement walls. And by insulating crawl spaces and rim joists, the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency estimates homeowners can save up to 20 percent on energy bills.

Opting for stone wool insulation, which is made from a combination of natural basalt rock and recycled slag, may provide greater benefits than traditional fiberglass insulation. One such thermal insulation is Roxul ComfortBatt, a fire resistant, water repellant and sound absorbent insulation that is well-suited for use in exterior walls, attics, crawlspaces and basements.

It also has a unique fiber composition and density that provides for an optimal fit between studs, joists, around ductwork, electrical boxes and plumbing. As another consideration for insulating, Roxul also offers Safe‘n’Sound, another stone wool insulation product well-suited for soundproofing interior walls and ceilings between rooms. Its unique stone wool composition reduces sound transmissions by trapping sound waves and vibrations.

Before undertaking a home insulation project, doit-yourselfers can visit www.diywithroxul.com, to view free “how-to” videos detailing different insulation projects.

Inspect Your Roof Nothing can ruin a home faster than a leaky roof.

Once yearly, check for signs of damage, such as sagging, aging, cracking, curling, tears or missing shingles.

Pay particular attention to areas obscured by shade or vegetation.

Replace shingles that are lifting up or that have rot or heavy moss.

Also inspect gutters, vents, overhangs and flashing.

Repairs should be made as soon as you see a small problem, before it becomes a larger one.

Don’t attempt to climb a roof that is steeply sloped.

Instead, turn to a professional roofer or home inspector.

06 How to make fall lawn care easier Real Estate

10 03 12

It’s time for raking leaves, pruning shrubbery, and other seasonal fall lawn care tasks.

Never has the old adage “work smarter, not harder” been more apt than when tackling yard work and preparing lawns for next season.

“After a long summer mowing lawns, many people lose enthusiasm for lawn care when fall hits,” says Bob Monahan, creator of the EZ Lawn & Garden product line, and a former frustrated leaf-raker looking for costeffective ways to make yard work easier.

“There are several tips to streamline yard work -- from knowing the best time to pull weeds to using the right equipment to make tasks simpler,” he says.

Here are some smart ways to handle fall lawn care: Be Body Smart

Good posture can prevent backaches when raking leaves. Keep your head up and back straight. Relieve back pressure by raking using the “scissors” stance: whereby you place one foot forward and the other back, reversing position after several minutes.

When mowing, move the mower with your body weight as much as possible, rather than relying on your arms and back.

And use ergonomically designed rakes, shears and pruners that require less hand strength than traditional ones.

Rake and Haul Easily Put away the loud, smelly leaf blower. Nothing is worse than raking leaves on a windy day, only to have them blown around.

Try an easier approach.

Rake leaves onto a tarpaulin and

drag it away. One innovative tarp solution is the EZ Leaf Hauler, which has been dubbed the “giant dustpan for leaves.” It’s a modified tarp with sides that holds up to five wheelbarrows of yard debris. Stakes are attached and can be pressed into the ground to hold it in place on windy days.

Approved by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, it uses tent construction technology to form sides and a back, and has reinforced pockets and stitched handles for easy hauling and dumping.

And if you already have a tarp, you can easily clip handles to it to make it easier to haul when full of leaves. For example, the EZ Tarp Tugger is a lowcost option that combines handles with stakes, so you can keep your tarp in place and then pull it away when it is full of debris to bag or compost.

Remember, dragging leaves away is easier on your back and environmentally friendly.

Weed Wisely Weeding can be made less painful if you adhere to the old gardener’s trick of weeding after it rains. When earth is dry, it’s harder to pull out the whole weed without breaking off the top.

After rainfall, the ground is damp, making it easier to pluck out entire weeds.

This way, weeds can easily be added to leaves and other debris that need to be hauled away.

More information on innovative tools for raking, hauling and bagging yard debris can be found at www.ezlawnandgarden.com.

Remember, fall is your last chance to put your lawn in order before next season’s warm weather.

08 Investing in your home’s exterior can save you money later Real Estate

10 03 12

Owning a home is a 365day-a-year commitment -- a mortgage to pay, a yard to maintain and bills to juggle.

But experts say that evaluating key exterior elements of your home at least once annually can prevent some bills from skyrocketing.

“The key to saving money and keeping a home comfortably livable is to be proactive in evaluating and fixing its major components,” says

Mark Clement, host of MyFixItUpLife home improvement radio show and a professional contractor for 20 years. “Don’t wait to replace older, inefficient windows until your energy bills soar out of control. Investing in newer, more energy efficient and low maintenance exterior products can have a major impact on the livability and return on investment of a home and deliver terrific

peace of mind.”

If your roof is damaged by severe weather or is old and leaking, investing in a new roof made of durable polymer slate or shake tiles will pay off for decades to come. For example DaVinci Roofscapes makes shingles that have a 50-year warranty, resist impact, fire and all kinds of insects.

For exterior trim pieces, swap out wood trim that is

susceptible to rotting and insect infestation with urethane and PVC trim products.

“Synthetic millwork, like pieces that are available from Fypon, resist moisture, humidity, insects and termites, swelling and rot,” Clement advises. “Once you install these low-maintenance trim pieces around doors, windows, soffits and other exterior areas, you’re

golden.”

For functional areas of the home, like windows and doors, use solidly-constructed, man-made products. For example, energy-efficient Simonton vinyl windows and a fiberglass entryway system from Therma-Tru have longterm warranties, and can help you enhance the long-term value and aesthetic appeal of your home while saving on energy bills.

A recent report on returnon-investment and home repair, the “Remodeling 2011–12 Cost vs. Value Report” (www.costvsvalue.com), shows that replacing older windows with vinyl windows is one of the ten most popular projects with payback for homeowners, and has a higher projected returnon-investment than several other popular home upgrade projects, including bathroom remodels or additions and major kitchen remodels.

For more home improvement ideas that offer great returns on investment, visit Clement’s website at www.myfixituplife.com.

“Almost no building product lasts forever,” he warns.

“Homeowners should continually evaluate the exterior elements on their home, research replacement options, and invest in products that are solidly constructed by a quality manufacturer that offers a strong warranty.”

10 Getting started on your DIY projects Real Estate

10 03 12

Fall is the perfect time to complete home projects you put off during the dog days of summer. There are a number of basic changes you can do right now that are easy and inexpensive.

Gear Up Before starting any home improvement process, make sure your toolbox is equipped with basic essentials:

I A high-quality level/ruler that works horizontally and vertically is a must-have for anyone handy.

Opt for one with a handle to keep it in place while you’re measuring, leveling and getting a clean edge for drawing or cutting.

I A crescent wrench is a versatile tool with a sliding jaw that allows for use on dif-

ferent size nuts and bolts.

Tighten any faucet in no time!

I Go beyond the flathead screwdriver and Phillips screwdriver and give yourself more flexibility in hard to reach places with a pivoting head ratchet screwdriver.

Remember, you can find the same quality tools and supplies online at a fraction

of the cost of your local brick and mortar retailer. Visit www.Lakeside.com for home improvement ideas and deals.

Easy Exterior Updates Set your house apart from your neighbors by tastefully decorating your home’s exterior with lights, flags or pictures. To avoid damage to your home, use stainless steel

siding clips for vinyl siding or brick clip hooks on brick walls and chimneys. These types of clips only take seconds to install, and unlike nails or screws, don’t create unsightly holes. Also, you can reposition or remove your decorations seasonally or whenever the mood strikes.

Quick Interior Updates: You don’t need to have mastered the art of tiling to redo your kitchen or bathroom walls.

Consider installing self-adhesive faux metal tiles to create a backsplash or decorative border.

For example, www.Lakeside.com carries tiles designed to look like brushed metal with an intricate embossed pattern. You can easily secure them to flat surfaces by simply pressing into place. At $9.95 for a 27pc set, you can affordably give your interiors a completely new look.

To give a new look to a room while avoiding a timely and costly project; consider painting just one or two accent walls. This trick saves time and money and gives you the chance to select a bold color without overwhelming a space.

You don’t need to spend a fortune or hire an outside contractor to give the inside and outside of your home a makeover. With the right knowledge and tools, you can make the same high-quality improvements yourself.

12 Fun Halloween ideas for the family Real Estate

10 03 12

Autumn is here, which means Halloween is fast approaching. You can help make this season extra special for your kids by getting them in the spooky spirit with some great Halloween reading, viewing and handson activities.

Eerie Reading With all that homework that comes with a new school year, you may be hard pressed to get your kids to do any extra reading. However, a fun Halloween book will earn their attention. Check out “Professor Gargoyle: Tales From Lovecraft Middle School #1,” by Charles Gilman, the first in a new series about the strange world of a creepy middle school. With a science teacher who morphs into a monster before you even open the book, this is one book you can judge by its cover, and it may also inspire a great costume.

A nod to H.P. Lovecraft,

the iconic horror author of the 20th century, this book is ideal for boys and girls ages 10 and older. To learn more about the book, visit w w w. l o v e c r a f t m i d dleschool.com.

Frightful Viewing There’s nothing more evocative of the season than a Halloween movie. You can make a night of it at home with some popcorn and an old classic like “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” or take the kids to the theater for a new tale. “Hotel Transylvania,” for example, a 3-D computer-animated film starring Adam Sandler and Selena Gomez, will make Dracula fun for kids.

Creepy Crafting From carving your own Jack-o-Lanterns to designing your own Halloween costumes to adorning your house and yard with homemade decorations, Halloween presents the perfect opportunity to get cre-

ative with crafts.

Encourage your kids to go the do-it-yourself route this year.

Not only are homemade costumes so much more unique than store-bought costumes, they can be inexpensive to create and are a

lot more satisfying to show off to friends. Safety note: let little ones design their own Jack-o-Lanterns and help you scoop out the pumpkin, but leave the actual carving to an adult.

Great crafting ideas abound on the Internet,

including costumes that require no sewing.

For inspiration, visit www.parenting.com.

Make this Halloween a memorable one for kids with some great new reads, films and crafts.

14 Decorating ideas to transform your home for fall Real Estate

10 03 12

Now is the time to plan and decorate your home for fall. This autumn, consider trying your hand at do-ityourself home projects that add seasonal warmth and color to the home -- while creating fun for your whole family.

“A great way to add excitement to seasonal décor for fall is with timely crafting projects with a theme or consistent color scheme,” said Nicole Long, manager of inspiration at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores. “This year, accenting traditional autumn colors like orange and brown with teals and purples can visually transform your home and will also liven up any seasonal party.”

If you’re having trouble getting inspired, here’s an ideal project for teens and adults from the experts at JoAnn: Paisley Floor Pillows (Approximate crafting time: 2 1/2 hours)

Supplies and Tools (for one pillow): 2 yards corduroy 1/2 yard corduroy in contrasting color 9"x12" felt squares, two each in coordinating colors One package glitter buttons Approx. 1 3/4 lbs. polyester fiberfill Sewing machine Basic sewing supplies White glue Directions: (Note: 1/2" seam allowance throughout) 1. Cut one strip main color corduroy 6"x72".

2. Cut two large paisley shapes of same corduroy.

3. Cut one small paisley shape of contrasting corduroy.

4. Glue or sew small paisley on one main color paisley for top.

5. Embellish top with felt shapes of choice and buttons.

Sew or glue in place.

6. Sew the 6" edge of the

long strip to make a large circle, leaving 1/2" open at top and bottom.

7. Place seam of strip at the point of the paisley top and sew all around.

8. Repeat with bottom, leaving a 6" opening for turning.

9. Turn and stuff.

10. Slip stitch opening closed.

And there’s no better way

to celebrate a new season than with a party that not only brings friends together, but inspires with something beautiful that you and your family created to decorate your home.

In addition to seasonal thematic decorations, now’s the time to also break out some fall fare, like corn bread, pumpkin pie and apple cider, and play music at

home that evokes autumn.

Timely project ideas, such as embroidered cup sleeves and a paisley peacock cake, are available online at www.joann.com/holidaysautumn.

Letting your home’s décor change with the seasons doesn’t need to stress you out. Make it fun by doing it yourself!

18 Modernize your home’s interior Real Estate

10 03 12

Once-upon-a-time you loved the look of your living space, but now it feels so last-century. If this sounds like you, consider injecting new energy into your home by making a few high-impact changes without a high-roller budget.

Clever use of colors in combination with smart lighting can enliven rooms so they give off a more compelling, modern vibe without the need for costly remodeling projects or expensive furniture.

Color Transformations Color both soothes and stirs the senses. Accent walls are a great way to introduce bold color and contrast, infusing a room with a sense of adventure, playfulness or drama.

Bring vitality to any room by painting one wall a vivid shade to frame a focal point such as a dramatic piece of artwork.

Accent walls are usually solid with no doors or windows, unless there is something special about these features you want to highlight, such as a spectacular view or interesting architecture.

If you find yourself intimidated by vibrant colors, use neutral tones on your primary walls with a dark-

er, more intense shade on your accent wall. Popular paint colors this year include fiery, orange-infused reds, watery blues, lush greens and earthy neutrals.

Lighting at its Best Lighting is one of the most dramatic areas where things are changing in home décor. Not only are new bulbs such as CFLs and LEDs offering greater energy efficiency, light fixture styles and lamp styles are also changing.

Remember those recessed lights so popular years ago? Depending on how they are used today, they may make a home look outdated. Kichler Lighting’s Director of Trends and Training, Jeff Dross, suggests replacing this older style with contemporary semiflush fixtures. He also recommends swapping outdated chandeliers, especially of the old brass variety, with a series of modern pendant lights.

“Nothing makes a tasteful statement of modern simplicity better than a row of pendant lights over a kitchen island or above a dining room table,” Dross says.

For the bathroom, use wall sconces placed on each side of the mirror for evenly lighting the face.

“Wall sconces add visual interest to the bath and even make daily tasks like shaving and make-up application easier,” Dross says.

For bedrooms, living rooms and family rooms choose strong bold shapes for your table and floor lamps.

Pillow Power Match decorative accessories like pillows and lamps to your accent wall color, incorporating the color -- or shades of it -- into a variety of textures.

Framed photos, an interesting vase or impressive plant will stand out well against an accent wall, making the perfect focal point. A buffet lamp (a smaller version of a table lamp) adds ambience and makes an ideal accent.

For more information on modern home design, visit www.kichler.com or join Kichler’s experts in discussing the latest lighting products and trends on Twitter and Facebook.

Giving your home an up-to-date look doesn’t need to break the bank or your back. Simple tweaks can give your interiors a much-needed face lift.
