Plan your way to a luxurious kitchen Being canny can save you thousands JUSTIN PIERCE FOR THE WASHINGTON POST Be sure to sit down when you meet with a designer in the kitchen department of a big home improvement store — otherwise the price might knock you over. According to Remodeling magazine, the average cost for a full kitchen remodel in the U.S. is $54,909. I have never been able to get my mind wrapped around this, considering that the national median income is only around $51,000. The average full kitchen remodel is defined as: “Update an outmoded 200-square-foot kitchen with a functional layout of 30 linear feet of semi-custom wood cabinets, including

Determine the scope of work

a three-by-five-foot island; laminate countertops; and standard double-tub stainless-steel sink with standard single-lever faucet. “Include energy-efficient wall oven, cooktop, ventilation system, built-in microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and custom lighting. Add new resilient flooring. Finish with painted walls, trim, and ceiling.” Remodeling mag azine also reports that a major kitchen remodel returns an average of $40,732. My average kitchen remodel usually comes in at less than half this national average cost. So let me share ways you can save money on your kitchen project and turn your effort into a positive gain in home equity without sacrificing quality:

APRIL GREER/The Washington Post

Having a plan, starting early on materials and working with good people can save thousands of dollars and immeasurable stress during a kitchen remodel.

Start with your design Determine the layout you want for your kitchen. A simple and sleek design will appeal to most buyers and help keep costs down. Keeping your existing layout is always cheaper. Avoid moving plumbing and electrical

items if possible — at least try to keep your stove (especially gas stoves) and sink in the same location. Pick an overall theme — country, modern, rustic ... This will help you select

materials and ensure everything comes together properly. Have a good idea of the look you want before you go into a design centre or talk to contractors. Get a design early and

plan ahead. Cabinets can take six weeks or more to be delivered. You don’t want to have your kitchen tor n apart while you’re waiting for an item to be delivered.

Once you have a very good idea of what you want, sit down and write up a detailed list of tasks to be completed. You don’t have to be technical and you don’t have to use construction terms but just state all the things you want a contractor to do and bid. It can be as simple as: remove all existing flooring and cabinets; install new flooring, cabinets, countertops, sink and appliances per the plan; paint; hook up sink plumbing; and install new light fixtures. When you start talking to contractors and designers you might find additional work is required. That’s OK. It’s easy to update your list and re-send to all the bidding contractors. Otherwise, the various contractors will list the items they believe you want and it will be difficult to compare bids. A basic scope of work also eliminates some guess work by the contractor.

C O M M E N TA R Y

HGTV stars serve up sage reno advice STU NIEBERGALL A week has gone by since we were right in the middle of the 39th annual Regina Spring Home Show. It was a great event with more than 400 exhibitors and more than 20,000 attending. This year, the show featured three engaging presenters from HGTV who shared their design and construction expertise. One of the fun things we get to do in between the feature presentations is hang out with the HGTV celebrities and gain additional insights from their stories. This year, our feature presenters included Paul Lafrance from HGTV’s Cus-

tom Built and Deck Wars and Jo Alcorn and Carson Arthur from HGTV’s Critical Listing. I took the opportunity to ask all three celebrities one simple question, “If you could only spend $10,000 on your home, in which part of your home would you invest it?” Carson Arthur focused on the backyard, saying “I would install an outdoor room in the for m of an extended patio and a fireplace. Patios can increase a home’s value by up to 12 per cent with a (return on investment) of 68 per cent ... not to mention that a good patio is usable space in the backyard. By adding the fireplace, you can extend the season … and keep down the mosquitos at the same time.” Jo Alcorn thought it was better to invest the $10,000 in the kitchen. “The kitchen,

the heart of the home, is a part of the home that attracts a lot of attention. It is a vital artery of a home and should be given the proper love to function well. It should be a room that has both functionality and fashion, as well as an area that you love to be in because of its beauty and ease to keep the flow going. Proper working triangles are essential as well as counter space, storage space and materials that will stand up to the use of your family. Consider how your family will move through the space, so that more than one can be in the kitchen at any time, truly understanding your triangle. And, consider colour that will help hide some of the family dirt as an assistant to your cleaning routine.” Paul Lafrance had another suggestion. “I think the master bedroom is one of

the most overlooked rooms in the house. Think about it. It’s the room you spend one third of your life in! It really should be a true haven that inspires and tells a personal story. If you also consider that you aren’t typically doing a ton of entertaining in that room (there are exceptions to every rule), it is the perfect place to be a little more daring in terms of design. Have some fun for Pete’s sake!” These three great perspectives certainly made me stop and think about which would work best for me and my family. Also attending the Spring Home Show this year was Kerry-Lynne Findlay, minster of national revenue, who announced the Government of Canada’s investment in the Canadian Home Builders’ Association’s Get it in Writing campaign. Findlay said, “Every Cana-

dian bears the cost of the underground economy. It allows dishonest businesses to thrive over their honest competitors, and limits the ability of governments to invest in our communities. A simple act like asking for a receipt can protect consumers from safety risks and financial disaster, support investments in your community, and help legitimate local businesses to create jobs and growth.” If you are going to take some of the home improvement advice from the three HGTV experts we featured at this year’s Spring Home Show, make sure before you hire any contractors that they are a professional — do your homework and be sure to get everything clearly in writing. If you do not have the proper paperwork in place, there is no recourse should something go wrong. An excellent resource

to begin your homework, and to find a professional contractor, is at www.reginahomebuilders.com. The renovation section under the consumer tab will provide you with the information you need to ask the right questions in order to get the right documentation from your contractor. To find a true professional, like those who belong to the RenoMark program, where members have agreed to abide by a code of conduct which includes ensuring all of the proper paperwork is in place, simply search Renovators on the online Member Finder. Don’t take chances because in the end, the quality of your home improvement project depends on the quality of your contractor. Stu Niebergall is president and CEO of the Regina Region Home Builders’ Association.

Kitchen Choosing components wisely saves thousands CONTINUED FROM F1

Select your materials Asking a contractor to supply big-ticket items such as flooring, cabinets, countertops and appliances leaves them with a huge range to guess on and there is a chance you’ll end up paying the contractor an additional fee. A lot of money can be saved in a kitchen remodel by shopping around on your big-ticket items, such as cabinets, countertops, appliances and flooring.

Don’t select cabinets based on name brands You can get a very good cabinet for a fraction of the cost of some of the big-name manufacturers. Look for cabinet boxes made of fur niture-grade plywood. Doors and drawer fronts should have a solid wood frame surrounding a panel and I prefer a solid wood panel. (Avoid laminated particle board.)

Countertops My top choice is granite. Countertops are one of the first things people notice in your kitchen. Particle board wrapped in Formica or other laminate almost always turns off potential buyers. You can easily pick a $20-asquare-foot granite for the same look as its $45 cousin. And watch installation costs. A small local supplier can often save you thousands versus what you’ll pay at big home-improvement stores.

good look in a home with a $2- or $3-a-square-foot tile. I normally go to big home improvement stores which mostly have the best price on tile, though selection is limited. Avoid using real stone if you’re cost conscious. The material is more expensive and it’s usually tougher — and more expensive — to install. Good prices on hardwood can be found at surplus or overstock warehouses. Using overstock items can save thousands in material.

CENTURY 21 CANADA

Congratulates

Choose mid-grade name-brand appliances Appraisers and buyers rarely value top-of-the line appliances at anything close to their purchase price. I contact sales people at big box stores, get their cards and see if they’ll contact you when they’re having sales. These retailers have also been willing to hold my appliances for months until I’m ready for delivery.

The right contractor Make sure you get four or five bids. Be wary of any bid that is too cheap or too expensive. Have contractors line item their bids and closely compare the items.

JANE MARSHAL/Edmonton Journal files

You can easily pick $20-a-square-foot granite and get the same look as granite that cost twice as much. If one of the items varies greatly in price from bid to bid then you might not have properly explained your needs.

MAKE IT RIGHT

COMFORT ZONE

Sitting pretty at home Inspect before buying is

No. 1 rule to buying home

Window benches comfy and practical SAMANTHA PYNN NATIONAL POST

MIKE HOLMES Make it Right

Q: I’d love to have a window

seat. I’ve seen that you can make one with kitchen cabinets. But is it better to have one made? If I make one using kitchen cabinets, what kind of cabinet would I use? A: I was so excited when I read your question because on my new show Open House Overhaul for HGTV we put a window seat into almost every house. (The show is all about overhauling your home to get it openhouse ready so you can sell it for top dollar and has tons of great tips.) A banquette or window seat is the place where people always want to sit. Banquettes are also space-savers that add character, which is what sells a house. You can certainly make a custom bench — the upside to anything custom is that it can fit into any nook or cranny. Plus, the front profile can be fabricated into any style — modern or traditional — to work with your existing architecture. A simple custom bench four feet (1.2 metres) wide, without doors or drawers for storage, will cost approximately $300. Depending on how many drawers, doors, mouldings and hinges you add, the cost can be as much as $1,500. To make a banquette with off-the-shelf kitchen cabinets, you’ll need cabinets that are 15 inches (38 centimetres) high with a depth of 15 or 24 inches (38 or 61 cm). Cabinets with a 15-inch (38-cm) depth are great for a tight space. Deeper 24-inch

VANESSA GALLE

A dark-blue banquette custom built for Open House Overhaul on HGTV Canada. The upside to anything custom is that it can fit into any nook or cranny. (61-cm) cabinets, however, will give you a more comfy seat. If you’re good with a sewing machine and don’t mind wrestling a large piece of foam like a bear, you can make your own seat cushion. Otherwise, have your upholsterer make a seat cushion two to three inches (5 to 7.6 cm) thick to bring your banquette up to seat height, which is 17 inches (43.2 cm). To make your banquette look built-in, use filler pieces of wood or drywall to

cover gaps, then patch and paint them the same colour as the wall. To take it one step further, add baseboard trim. Add a couple of throw pillows (down-filled and 20 inches, or 51 cm, square) and, voila, your seat will be complete. Be warned, however, guests might not want to leave. For inspiration, I’ve included a photo of a custombuilt banquette. Send your small-space question to asksampynn@gmail.com.

April marks the start of home buying (and selling) season, and when it comes to buying you’ve got two options: buying new or buying used. Everyone thinks if they buy new they’re safe because a new home will be built right; technically it should be, but unfortunately that’s not always the case. I’ve seen homes just five years old where the entire exterior needs to be redone because materials weren’t properly installed the first time and led to rot, mould and moisture intrusion. Or the roof needed major repairs because it started leaking after the first major storm. It happens, and it’s a huge waste of money and materials, and harms the environment too. If you are planning to buy new the first thing to do is research the builder. What’s their track record? Are previous buyers happy with their home? Have you spoken to people who have bought a house from the builder (and not just recently)? Check out homes that are two, five, or even 10 years old. What issues have buyers run into, and what has the builder done to solve them? Don’t just look at online reviews. Go to see the houses for yourself and talk to people. Online reviews give you a general idea, but your homework doesn’t stop there. You need to dig

more, and as you’re investing hundreds of thousands of dollars, it’s worth your time. I’ve never heard a homeowner regret spending too much time researching, but I have heard hundreds of homeowners regret not doing it. Most importantly, does the builder offer an inspections program? That means their homes are inspected during key stages of construction — on top of the regular municipal inspections that every new home has to go through. To some buyers it might seem like overkill to have staged inspections on top of regular inspections, but it makes a big difference. First, municipal inspections make sure the house meets minimum code, but a third-party, stage-inspections program takes into account best building practices and warranty protection. That’s huge for homebuyers and future value, especially if they want to sell down the road. Secondly, a third-party inspections program should include thermal imaging done by inspectors with Level 1 certification in thermography. These inspectors have the training and experience to use tools such as thermal-imaging cameras and moisture meters properly to get information that can save you money, time and trouble. When construction is complete, you get a binder with photos and inspection summaries. This gives you the proof your home was built right, which helps with warranties and if you ever want to sell, it can help increase value. Regular municipal inspections don’t do that.

Another essential to look for are builders who allow you to visit the site and check out the construction of your home as it moves forward. Call the builder and book an appointment. They will schedule a time when it’s safe for you to visit — after all, it is a construction site. Never visit the lot on your own. There might be live electrical wires, faulty floors or other hazards. Always wear the proper safety gear when you visit, including a hard hat, steeltoe work boots and possibly safety eyewear. And follow the builder’s guidelines for safety during your visit. If the builder brings you in only after everything’s been closed in all you will see are the finishes, not the construction behind them. Good builders appreciate that you want to be more involved because they are proud of their work. Old or new, the No. 1 rule to buying a house is get it inspected by an experienced pro. Keep in mind someone who: ■ Is an accredited Level 1 thermographer; ■ Uses a moisture meter; ■ Has a background in construction; ■ Carries liability insurance; ■ Has completed at least a thousand inspections (or has five years experience in the industry). Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. The last thing you want is to find out you bought a lemon. Be smart and buy it right.

Activist teen with aging disease dies LONDON — A campaigner who raised awareness of the rare genetic condition progeria, which causes those affected to age about eight times faster than average, has died at age 17. The U.S.-based Progeria Research Foundation said Hayley Okines, from East Sussex in England, died Thursday at her home. It didn’t provide more details. Okines published her autobiography, Old Before My Time, at 14, detailing her unusual life.

Pro-Russian rebels train near Yenakiyeve, in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine in early March. AP reporting, based on conversations with rebel fighters and visits to their training grounds, has revealed the extent of the involvement of Russian troops in the yearlong conflict.

Russian military changes tactics NATALIYA VASILYEVA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS YENAKIYEVE, Ukraine — On a recent spring morning, an important visitor watched Russian-backed rebels conduct infantry manoeuvres on the sunlit training grounds outside this town in eastern Ukraine. “T he g eneral is very pleased,” rebel battalion commander Ostap Cherny told his troops, referring to the figure in camouflage encircled by five ar med guards. The man — almost certainly a Russian military officer — became alarmed when he saw two journalists approach. His entourage shielded him from all sides, warning that photos were forbidden, and the group soon sped off in a four-car motorcade, with the “general” safely inside a black Toyota SUV with no licence plates. Nearly a year into the conflict in Ukraine, the extent of Moscow’s direct involvement has become clear: They may wear camouflage, but the Russians’ presence in eastern Ukraine is hardly invisible. At the same time, there has been a recent shift in tactics that appears aimed

at minimizing Russia’s military presence as part of an effort to persuade the West to lift its punishing economic sanctions. Visits by The Associated Press to training grounds like those near Yenakiyeve and interviews with dozens of rebels reveal that Russian armed forces spearheaded some of the major separatist offensives, then withdrew quickly before they could be widely noticed. More recently, as a shaky ceasefire has taken hold, Ru s s i a h a s ke p t f ewe r troops in Ukraine but has increased its training of rebels to make sure they are capable of operating sophisticated Russian weaponry and defending the territory they control. NATO and an independent London-based Russian scholar estimate that Russia has several hundred military trainers in eastern Ukraine. While the Kremlin acknowledges that many Russians have fought in Ukraine as volunteers, and such volunteers are regularly seen at checkpoints in rebel-held areas, Russia firmly denies sending its troops across the border or arming the rebels. Throughout the conflict and often a few days before a new flashpoint of fighting would erupt, AP reporters

ing them in battles that they said they would not have been won without Russia’s help. When the town of Debaltseve finally fell to the separatists on Feb. 19 after weeks of fighting over the strategic railroad hub, the true victors were long gone. “Our friends helped us,” Andrei, a fighter who fought in Debaltseve and is based outside Luhansk, said with a shy smile. Andrei and another fighter, Alexei, said Russian troops specifically stormed a fortified area outside Debaltseve that the rebels had been trying to capture for weeks. Alexei, who was still based in Debaltseve in March, also saw fighting last summer in Ilovaysk, another major battle where the involvement of Russian troops was strongly suspected. He was flippant about the Russian presence in Ilovaysk, saying “just a couple of tanks pushed through.” But when asked about Russians in the battle for Debaltseve, he became animated: “I’m not going to hide it: Russians were here. They went in and left quickly.” The Russian Defence Ministry did not respond to numerous calls and faxes seeking comment for this story.

Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday that Russia “firmly denies” reports of a Russian military presence in Ukraine. NATO insists Russian troops continue to operate in eastern Ukraine despite the ceasefire, but it is unable to give exact figures. In recent months, according to Lt.-Col. Jay Janzen at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Russia has transferred more than 1,000 heavy weapons to the separatists, including tanks, armoured vehicles, rocket systems, surface-toair missiles and artillery. NATO and the Ukrainian government in Kyiv are convinced that Russian military personnel in rebel-held territories are providing training to a proxy force. Gen. Philip Breedlove, commander of NATO forces in Europe, said the alliance’s intelligence indicates that trainers from Russia’s special forces have been instructing fighters in eastern Ukraine about sophisticated weaponry that the Russian military has supplied. Breedlove estimated 250-300 advisers are supervising the training None of the rebel fighters interviewed said they believed the war was over, adding that they are preparing for battles.

would see as many as 80 armoured vehicles a day, mostly coming from the direction of the Russian border, carrying troops and towing artillery. Their ultimate origin was impossible to establish, and the rebels strongly discouraged reporters from photographing such convoys or following them. While rebel commanders avoid talking to journalists about Russia’s role in the conflict, separatist fighters routinely confirm that clothing and ammunition are among supplies they receive from Russia. “Yes, our brothers are supplying us — you know who,” one fighter who goes by the nom de guerre Taicha said in November at a checkpoint in the crossroads town of Krasny Luch. Most rebels won’t reveal their full names for fear of retaliation against their families. Months later, on the front line west of Donetsk, a sniper who goes by the name of Kvadrat, or “Square,” showed off his new rifle from Russia. “Uncle Vovka is helping us,” he said, using a nickname for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Rebel fighters often casually thank Russia for the weapons they use, and two of them expressed gratitude to Russian troops for join-

France bans using super-thin models PARIS — Executives at fashion houses and talent agencies that use excessively thin models in France could face six months in prison and a fine of $82,000. French lawmakers approved the measure Friday, a day after voting to outlaw websites that encourage readers to get thin by starving themselves. Anyone whose body mass index falls below target levels is forbidden from working as a model, according to the amendment to the health bill.

Man on death row for 30 years freed BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A man who spent nearly 30 years on Alabama’s death row was freed Friday after new forensic evidence in a decades-long fight to prove his innocence.

BOSWELL, Pa. — Did you hear the one about the potbellied pig at Burger King? Pennsylvania State Police swear it’s not a whopper. Troopers were called to the restaurant on U.S. Route 30 in southwestern Pennsylvania after the pet wandered from its home and took up residence near the fast-food restaurant Thursday morning. The eatery was running a two-for-$4 special on bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches, but the pig wasn’t promoting or participating in the deal.
