What are the benefits of smart irrigation systems? The world has a water problem. Though the planet is 70 percent water, according to the World Bank, estimates indicate that with current population growth and water-management practices, the world will face a 40 percent shortfall between forecast demand and available supply of water by 2030. Conser vation is one of the ways the world can confront its water problem head-on, potentially preventing billions of people from facing a water scarcity in the years to come. One of the ways people in the developed world can help to conser ve water is by employing smart irrigation systems in their homes. Smart irrigation systems employ a similar type of smart technology many homeowners already rely on inside their homes. By employing such technology in their lawns and gardens, homeowners can reap many of the same rewards they enjoy by using smart home systems inside their homes, all while benefitting the planet. • Some smar t irrigation systems can recognize the local weather. Many smar t irrigation systems connect to the internet via homeowners’ Wi-Fi. This allows the systems to take current weather into account before watering lawns and gardens. For example, a smar t irrigation system can identify if it recently rained and cancel
a scheduled watering. This helps homeowners avoid watering lawns and gardens when nature has already done the watering for them. • Smart irrigation systems can save homeowners money. While smar t irrigation systems can cost several thousand dollars, those costs can be recouped over time. Smar t irrigations systems can detect when cooler weather has arrived, turning down water output as a result. That conser ves water and saves homeowners money. When coupled with the savings they’ll realize because their irrigation systems aren’t water during rainy periods, homeowners will soon be on track to recouping their smart irrigation investments. • Smar t irrigation systems conser ve water. People in the developed world are accustomed to having water at the ready. But many people across the globe enjoy no such luxur y. For example, the organization Save the WaterTM notes that the average American uses 2,000 gallons of water ever yday, while the average African family uses just five gallons of water each day. Much of that disparity can be traced to a lack of access and scarcity of supply in the undeveloped world. By utilizing technology like smart irrigation systems, homeowners can help ensure there is sufficient water for ever yone, regardless of where they live, in the coming decades.

Buying a shed? Consider these 7 things
Friday, August 14, 2020, Messenger-Inquirer
Backyard sheds can be useful assets. Sheds can create storage space in the garage, basement or other areas of the house that have become gathering spots for gear typically used outdoors. Sheds are ideal for housing mowers, tools and even pool-care equipment. But they can be put to other uses as well, such as being key spots to engage in hobbies or even as a child’s clubhouse. Various factors should be considered before building or buying a shed. A storage shed can be a significant investment. Once placed, sheds may remain in their dedicated spots for years to come. That means careful thought should go into the planning process.

CHECK YOUR LOCAL BUILDING CODES FIRST
CHOOSE PLACEMENT WISELY
Spend several days assessing the yard and thinking about the uses for the shed. If you plan to store pool floats and chemicals inside of the shed, it should be located close enough to the pool to be convenient. Look at the lay of the land. If there is a soggy patch of land that can turn swampy under the shed’s foundation, that is a poor location choice. If you need access to electricity, placing it far away from the house could necessitate running expensive wiring.
DECK OUT THE INTERIOR
Use every storage tool at your disposal to maximize floor, wall and even rafter space for storage. Plan where items will be kept and customize the storage options around those locations.

PREPARE THE SITE WELL
Before you accumulate building materials or order a shed, be sure to know the ins and outs of shed codes. The codes may impact the shed’s placement, construction, the materials used, size, and numerous other factors. It’s much easier to amend plans beforehand than to face the hassle and expense after learning you did things incorrectly.
AMBER BROWN REALTOR (270) 839-5859
Real Estate Inside Out
A proper foundation for the shed is almost as important as the shed itself. You cannot just drop the shed on the lawn and leave it, as the shed can sink or structural issues may arise if it is placed on a weak base.
INVEST IN QUALITY MATERIALS
Spending a little more and using quality materials can ensure it lasts long enough to be cost-effective. The right materials will be resistant to splitting, cracking, decay, and insect damage.
BLEND INTO THE ENVIRONMENT
Surround the shed with shrubs or plants so that it blends into the yard and complements the space.
CONSIDER THE DESIGN
Just because a shed is for storage doesn’t mean aesthetics should be overlooked. Choose a shed style that complements your home. You may also want to match certain architectural features, like arched doorways or dormers. Design also may relate to practicality. For instance, storing a riding mower inside may necessitate dual doors that open widely.

P e r s o n al S pac e
riverfront living at its finest STORY BY JODI KEEN MESSENGER-INQUIRER
PHOTOS COURTESY OF AP IMAGERY
From 1999 to 2017, the condominium at 991 W. First St. at Sycamore Square was the beloved riverfront home of Eleanore “JacKee” Russell. In late 2019, Realtor and broker JoAnn Risner commissioned general contractor Bruno Espinosa to oversee the complete remodel of the property. What has resulted is a breathtakingly elegant, fresh update from floor to ceiling. Everything from hardware to flooring, light fixtures to paint, and plumbing to HVAC is new, and a tasteful color palette ties together the overall aesthetic. No detail was spared during renovations. Custom crown molding and detailed millwork add subtle surface dimension.
The kitchen features updated GE appliances and beautiful marble countertops. A stunningly lit arched hallway — evoking a cathedral ceiling — leads from the impressive two-story entrance to the expansive living and dining rooms. The home employs surround sound by Bose. Clever built-ins provide strategic, discreet storage for the home entertainment operating system. The original fireplace was relocated and rebuilt to be a true centerpiece. And it’s easy to imagine relaxing after a long day in the master bath’s spacious, high-back garden tub. A generous amount of space is afforded every room thanks to this property’s 2,300 square feet. Each of the four bedrooms is large — the master bedroom’s closet is especially boundless — as are all three full baths.
Thoughtful renovations have made several areas of this home handicap accessible, and the master bed and bath as well as laundry facilities are conveniently located on the ground floor of this two-story condo. The river view from 991 W. First St. is sweeping and unparalleled, and can be enjoyed from a gazebo adjacent to the back yard. It’s a large reason why JacKee, an Owensboro native, chose to call this particular property home. “She had for a while wanted to live on the river,” says Landon Russell, JacKee’s son. “She liked it (Sycamore Square), and she loved being able to go out and sit by the river.” An oversized two-car attached garage allows ample space for storage. The homeowners association takes care of
general groundskeeping so more time can be spent enjoying the residence. During family visits, “we loved the property, the view, the pool at the complex,” Landon says, adding that a highlight of their visits was the home’s proximity to events, shopping and dining in downtown Owensboro. “It was the perfect spot for (watching the city’s fireworks on) July 4,” he says. “And with Friday After 5, it was great. We could just walk down there, and then walk home. We didn’t have to try to find a parking space anywhere.” Convenience, tranquility, elegance — 991 W. First St. is a riverfront living at its finest.

Create a home that’s low maintenance
B
BY FAMILY FEATURES
ecause most people are spending more time at home than usual, ensuring your living spaces are clean and uncluttered can make being home more comfortable and enjoyable. However, not everyone has the time, or desire, to devote to constant maintenance. A shift toward less work around the house just takes some prep work and smart tools.
ORGANIZE AND DECLUTTER
Working your way around stacks of things you don't use frequently, or need at all, can make it difficult to keep your home tidy. Cut back on the clutter by sorting items into categories such as things you use often, those you rarely use and things you don't need any longer. Donate what you don't need then work on organizing the rest. Invest in drawers, shelves and storage bins to ensure everything has a place, and only leave out the items you use frequently.
AUTOMATE YOUR CLEANING
You can simplify your chores by putting technology to work for you. One example is an all-in-one robotic vacuum cleaner and floor mop that keep floors clean so you don't have to think about it, such as the Deebot T5 from Ecovacs. Its patented OZMO Mopping System allows it to vacuum and mop simultaneously, removing up to 99% of bacteria without any harsh chemicals. It smartly maps your home with laser technology, and the automatic carpet detection feature avoids carpet when mopping to keep it from getting wet. You can even schedule cleanings from your phone.
MANAGE PAPER
It can be easy to allow mail, magazines and other paper to pile up. To help manage the influx, create an "inbox" in a convenient location and put mail and paperwork there all week. Designate one day each week to sort, take action, shred and dispose of mail
and other paper you've collected.
CREATE A LABELING SYSTEM
The hassle of finding and remembering where you put extra linens, wading through a cluttered spice rack or locating the hammer can be unnecessary stressors. Consider investing in a label maker to help make it easier to keep organized and find the things you're looking for when you need them.
USE TIME WISELY
Devoting a small amount of time to daily maintenance is key. If a task takes just a few minutes to do — like scheduling your robot vacuum to clean or putting dishes in the dishwasher — do it as needed. Then, ever y day, spend 10-15 minutes tidying up and putting things away so they don't pile up and lead to more time-consuming chores.
