Small blessings Downsizing takes on new dimension GLEN SCHAEFER VANCOUVER PROVINCE There’s more than one way to swim against the consumerist tide. The latest word from Statistics Canada is that Canadian household debt is at record highs and rising faster than disposable income. In Vancouver’s Lower Mainland, that’s reflected in little houses being bought and levelled to build bigger houses, while those who can’t afford to buy those bigger houses drive their SUVs east to find cheaper big houses. “Driving until they can afford something — that’s the expression we sometimes use,” said architect Michael Geller, also an adjunct

REG00209472_1_1

professor at Simon Fraser University’s Centre for Sustainable Community Development. At the end of that drive comes the urge to fill those big houses with stuff — hence the results of that StatsCan quarterly report on debt from December. But a lesser-known group is bucking that trend: people who for various reasons are choosing to live smaller, opting for less living space, less stuff, more walking. They’re raising families in apartments or setting up house in little homes squeezed along lanes. “That is a definite demographic, a real demographic,” said Geller. “You just need to stand outside the childcare facilities in downtown Vancouver to see them, and I think we’re going to see similar things happening in Burnaby and Richmond.” Immigration from countries where it’s not unusual for families to live in apartments is part of the reason,

MORE INSIDE Four families who are living small and loving it. Page F2 Geller said. Also underway is a shift in municipal zoning rules to allow smaller houses to be

built along lanes in singlefamily neighbourhoods. Jake Fry, a builder and designer of laneway houses through his companies Smallworks Studios and Laneway Housing Inc., has built 100 such homes ranging in size from 380 to 1,000 square feet.

Since Vancouver gave the green light to such houses in 2009, 1,082 have been either built or approved in the city. Fry also co-founded the non-profit SmallHousing B.C., which advocates for such housing in B.C. Then there is extreme small. Tiny houses of less

than 200 square feet — often small enough to be put on wheels — more popular in rural areas have made some inroads closer to the city but, said Fry, “It’s not something that is going to lend itself very well as any sort of building solution within an urban area.”

DOWNSIZING

How 4 families went big on going small Who needs large, empty spaces?

A TV mounted on the wall folds away when they’re not watching it. One concession Elizabeth didn’t make: She didn’t give up her extensive shoe and handbag collection. It’s stored in racks under the bed. Feenstra, who put her tiny 128-square-foot house on a rural property owned by a non-profit that she works with, managed to fit a kitchen and bathroom into her little space. She found space for shelves as well — and then found that some of the shelves were still empty after she moved in last June. “I kept some stuff I had acquired from travelling,” Feenstra said. “I initiated a policy of if I don’t use it between January and June, then I don’t need it. I went down from 30 boxes to 10 boxes. I got rid of some of the kitchen appliances that I only used once in a blue moon.”

GLEN SCHAEFER VANCOUVER PROVINCE Stephanie Williams, a law firm clerk, and her live-in boyfriend Celestian Rince, an administrative assistant at a property management company, are among those people who are choosing to live small. They’re opting for less floor space in their homes and shucking off the need to trade their old things for new things. For Rince, 26, and Williams, 28, the reasons are a mix of concern about the consequences of over-consumption and the desire for economic freedom, including plans for an early, travel-oriented retirement. “Our whole goal is to spend as little as we can because the less you spend, the sooner you retire,” Williams said. “You save enough money and you’re clear. It’s a combination of that and the environmental aspect — reducing consumption as a whole. We don’t drive. We try to avoid buying plastic things if at all possible, or anything that’s going to end up in a landfill.” Rince and Williams live in a 400-square-foot bachelor unit in a co-op housing project in downtown Vancouver within walking distance to both of their offices. Across town, Akua Schatz, 36, and Brendon Purdy, 37, are raising their two-and-a-half-year-old son in a 640-square-foot laneway house they built largely on their own in Purdy’s parents’ yard. The little house was designed by a company that specializes in such homes. “Coming from the environmental sector, a priority for me was to have a green home ... natural as much as possible,” said Schatz, who spent six years working for the Suzuki Foundation before taking a position with the Canada Green Building Council, which does LEED certifications. They picked countertops, for example, made from organic materials. Schatz acknowledges that she and her husband, a freelance photographer, also had economic reasons to go small when they came to Vancouver from Ottawa in 2007. They lived at first in his parents’ basement suite before deciding to build their laneway house four years ago. “I hadn’t ever planned to live with my in-laws,” Schatz said. “But what we realized over time was that the experience of living near family has been really rich, especially since we’ve had our kid. We thought that since we’d already test-driven the idea of living close together and it was working, maybe we’d take up this new opportunity to build a laneway house in the back yard.”

Custom-made small spaces For Kayla Feenstra, a 30-year-old landscaper and social entrepreneur in Abbotsford, B.C., her down-

Akua Schatz and Brendon Purdy are raising their two-and-a-half-year-old son in a 640-square-foot laneway house in Vancouver, and it’s one of more than 1,000 such homes either built or approved in the city.

Tiny homes in demand

Wood stove: ‘It’s actually a stove used in boats,’ says Feenstra. ‘Anything bigger would be too much heat.’ Fridge: Three-quarter sized, propane-powered fridge. Sleeping area: ‘There’s a queensized bed, which most people find shocking,’ says Feenstra. Ladder: ‘The ladder is removable. When I’m in the kitchen I can move it out of the way. Behind the ladder is a propane stove and oven.” JASON PAYNE/PNG

Kayla Feenstra of Abbotsford, B.C. has a seat inside the micro home she built and lives in. sizing moment came when she walked into the living room of her 900-square-foot basement suite and realized she couldn’t remember the last time she’d been in that room. “I realized, well, why do I have this space when I’m not using it?” Feenstra said. “I was getting roommates in because it was a two-bedroom. It felt like it was a waste of space to have that room empty, but (having a roommate) was such a headache.” Her solution was radical: To build a self-contained, portable house that is 128 square feet inside. Feenstra designed the tiny house herself. She used donated materials, including a door from a barn and leftover decking materials, to keep to a budget of $15,000. “I had a bunch of people helping me at various points — plumber friends, electrician friends, friends building cabinets, that kind of thing.” In Victoria, 46-year-old mom Elizabeth (not her real name) built a 243-square-foot basement suite in her 100-year-old character house after her marriage broke up last year, intending to rent that space out. Elizabeth, an administrator for a software company, collaborated with her 13-year-old daughter to design the space. “During the design phase we decided, let’s make this what we would want,” Elizabeth said. By the time the space was fin-

ished last March, mom and daughter were smitten with the new digs and chose to move downstairs themselves, renting out the rest of the house. “I can’t get my daughter out of the space. We actually built it for income but we just got so into it. We thought, this is so cool, we should live here.”

Lightening the load For all of these people, taking on life in a smaller space meant shedding possessions.

“The kitchen is like a boat’s galley. It’s one wall,” Elizabeth said. “My kitchen upstairs is beautiful. I thought I’d miss that kitchen. “But this one is so efficient. It simplifies your life, it really does. There’s not a lot of extra stuff.” The fancy bread-maker, for example, is gone. “You edit completely,” Elizabeth explained. “I have to say living with less stuff is less stressful. It lightens your load completely.”

Schatz credits her small-is-better ethos to her “hippie” parents, foreign development workers who moved back and forth between Africa and Canada with their four children. Feenstra grew up around gardens, and her love of the outdoors partly explains why she doesn’t need much inside space. “ I l ove t h e i m p a c t t h at a happy outside space can have on people, especially on kids,” she said. Feenstra installs nature play spaces at elementary schools and helps run more than 30 community gardens. She also runs a program called Farm to Food Bank, where trucks are sent to pick up farm produce retailers won’t take. Her tiny house is set up with solar panels, a wood-bur ning stove and a water-harvesting system, so she could live offgrid. Feenstra’s latest venture grew out of her new home — she just incorporated Tiny Homes Canada to build and sell houses like hers. “I’ve gotten messages and emails from all over the place,” Feenstra said. “They’re the people who only want to work five hours a week. They’ve come out of the woodwork.”

MAKE IT RIGHT

MAINTENANCE

Which water filter is best?

After a harsh winter, check the roof CAROLE FELDMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

isting asphalt roof, saving some labour costs.

A harsh winter has taken a toll on many roofs. Maybe there’s a telltale leak, but sometimes problems are harder to spot. When the snow melts, it’s a good time to take stock.

Most homes in the U.S. have a pitched roof. Asphalt shingles make up a large share of the market, but some roofs are slate, metal or a composite material. Wood shakes and tile also are used. A lot depends on your esthetics and your budget. “You could spend an extra $30,000 for real slate or wood shakes — or you could get a similar look for much less,” Consumer Reports said. And then there’s geography. “Different kinds of material will perform better in different climates,” said Bill Good, executive vicepresident of the National Roofing Contractors Association. In the Midwest and midAtlantic, he said, a lot of asphalt shingle is used. Asphalt shingles come in two main types: three-tab shingles, which are a single layer, or laminated or architectural shingles, which are thicker. But strong sun can take a toll on asphalt roofs, so in Florida and the Southwest, roofs are frequently made of tile, according to the National Roofing Contractors Association. In New England, you see a lot of slate because that’s where it’s quarried, according to Good.

Roof types MIKE HOLMES Make it Right

With World Plumbing Day on Wednesday just gone, it seems like a good time to talk about water filters. As a homeowner, it can be difficult to know exactly where to start. Do you call a plumber? Should you get the standard pitcher-style countertop filter? Would that be enough? How often do you need to change the filter? How much is it going to cost you? And is it worth it? When most people think of water filters they think of the typical water-filter pitcher (also called a carafe filter) that is stored in the fridge. But water filters come in different shapes and sizes. There are carafe, faucet-mounted, under-sink and whole-house filters, among others. Some reduce water flow. Some wear out fast and need to be replaced often, while others don’t need to be replaced at all. Some replacement filters are fairly inexpensive, but others might cost in the hundreds. Some filters require changing plumbing, while others just attach to the tap. The right water filter depends a lot on where you live and your lifestyle. For example, in some municipalities, the local water supply is so hard (which basically means it has a lot of minerals in it) that builders will automatically install a water softener into every new home they build. In other regions, there is concern about pollutants and germs such as radon (yes!) or E. coli getting into our water sup-

Identifying problems

Choosing the right filter starts with knowing what’s in your water. ply rather than substances like lead or arsenic. And whatever is more convenient and cost-efficient for you might not be for your neighbour — a lot of it has to do with how many people live in your home and how much water you use. A carafe filter might be enough for two people, but not so much for a family of four. Not to mention different filters eliminate different contaminants. For example, a water softener removes minerals — mainly calcium and magnesium — from water. But you’ll need a different water filter to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chloroform, radon or bacteria. So choosing the right filter starts with knowing what’s in your water. The only way

to do that is to get your tap water tested. Every city has its own local authority for testing water — and in most cases (if not all) it is free. The next step is to take those results to the right pros. You have two choices: a licensed plumber or a water-filtration expert. The latter will usually have a store that sells all kinds of water filters, water-filtration systems and softeners and they’ll even have their own service guys who will install the system for you. But you can also ask a licensed plumber you trust for a consultation. Some plumbers have more experience in water-filtration systems than others. For example, a plumber that works in a rural area might know more about water filters than a

city-based pro because water filtration is more of an issue in rural areas. Usually what a licensed plumber will do is take your water’s test results to a water-filtration supplier, ask for at least three water filters that will get rid of the contaminants in your water and then recommend a proper water-filtration system based on the plumbing in your home, number of fixtures, layout and consumption. Of course, it will cost you. But if it means getting the right system that will help protect your health and safety, there is no better investment. Watch Mike Holmes on Holmes Makes It Right on HGTV. For more information visit makeitright.ca.

John Galeotafiore, associate director of home improvement testing for Consumer Reports, recommends that homeowners take out a pair of binoculars and check the roof from street level. Roofing contractors also can be hired to inspect the roof. Do you see any missing shingles? Are some of them curled or cracked? Are there pieces of flashing missing? Dirty or splotchy shingles also can be a sign of a problem, says Jim Englehart, senior merchant for building materials at Home Depot. “It’s indicative of the granules being worn away,” he said. Weather-related damage can include ice damming, when water backs up under the shingles, ices and then begins to melt.

Repair or replace? Age is one factor in deciding whether to repair or replace a roof. “If the roof is about 20 years old and you’re getting leaks, you’re probably going to have to change it,” Galeotafiore said. You might be able to patch newer roofs if the damage is limited. “It gets down to esthetics,” Englehart said. “If it’s on the front side of the house I don’t want to patch. The patch is going to be a different colour.” Sometimes, new shingles can be layered over an ex-

Picking a contractor Replacing a roof is probably not a job homeowners want to do themselves, experts agree. Good recommends talking to two or three contractors before deciding on one. Besides comparing prices and warranties, check that the company is insured and has a permanent place of business.

DESIGN

The electric fireplace: hang and enjoy CATHERINE LAWSON FOR POSTMEDIA NEWS Will that be crushed glass, pebbles or faux logs? Do you prefer your flames golden-hued or purple? And do you want the heat on or off ? These are just a few of the choices available in the latest models of electric fireplaces. All that, and they can be installed almost anywhere. No wonder some builders are recommending them to new home buyers. “They’re a great way to get the look and feel of a fireplace,” says Jenny Black, a Cardel Homes design centre manager. Cardl recently installed an electric fireplace in the basement recreation room of a townhome model. From the Napoleon Electric Slimline series, it has a sleek black frame and its high-powered LED lights create a convincing flame pattern. Best of all, it is flush to the wall, with no telltale cord showing. Black says the designers first considered a gas unit, but there was no place to vent it. Because electric fireplaces can go almost anywhere, Black says she and her staff at the design centre are suggesting buyers also consider them for master bedrooms, ensuites and bonus rooms. “With new construction we can really make it work.” Of course, customers have to be convinced. “When you say electric firep l a c e, p e o p l e think of that little box with the fake mantel,” says Black. As with the older electric models, these newl o o k ve rsions have

a big price advantage over gas. According to Andy Cotnam of The Fireplace Center & Patio Shop in Ottawa, to purchase and install a gas fireplace is $5,000 and up. The most popular electric styles are $500 to $800 (although it’s possible to pay into the thousands.) Cotnam says manufacturers began improving flame technology about a decade ago. “We all remember the log with the light bulb.” But it’s just been in the past few years that companies have integrated the more convincing-looking flames into designs that take their inspiration directly from the latest trends in gas fireplaces. And the technology continues to improve. Dimplex has what it calls Opti-myst, using halogen lights and water vapour to create the look of smoke. Amantii lures customers with Fire and Ice, where colourful flames dance around large chunks of clear glass. A 72-inch model at the Fireplace Center is $1,899. “New innovation comes with high prices, but they soon come down,” says Cotnam. Most of a fireplace’s options can be controlled with the click of a button on a remote. You can vary flame height, intensity and colour. Most have temperature settings, and offer the choice to turn off the heat completely and just admire the flames. In existing homes and condos, an eye-catching electric fireplace can be hung from a wall bracket, much like a flat-screen TV. “It’s like hanging a v e r y h e av y p i c ture,” s a y s C o t DIMPLEX

The Dimplex Opti-Myst has an optional back that can be removed to create a two-sided unit. As mist rises through the rocks, light reflects against the water molecules creating an illusion of flames and smoke.

AMANTII

A 50-inch wide Fire and Ice model by Amantii, in which the flame colour can be changed by remote control. nam. “It’s plug and play.” A hanging fireplace will protrude about 10 to 18 centimetres from the wall. There’s also the challenge of how to hide the cord, but most models come with a paintable plastic cord cover. Whether on the wall or installed, these units are energy efficient. As for heating capacity, Cotnam says most will take the chill off a room of about 300 square feet. Gas units are cheaper to operate — “Half the cost, as far as heat output goes,” says Cotnam — but operating an electric unit is still under 10 cents an hour. Other spots where electric fireplaces are cropping up include retirement homes. And models up to 10 feet long are making statements in restaurants and hotel lobbies. Homeowners with wood fireplaces they never use can have an electric insert installed for about $200. These units are available either with logs or coals or more contemporary crushed glass.
