Your Dream Entryway May Be Only Steps Away (NAPS)—For enhanced curb appeal of your home, nothing beats a front door with beautiful doorglass. Making it easier to determine what your dream entryway could look like is a new interactive online tool called Your Door Stylizer™ from ODL, Inc. With this online tool, you can instantly see how doorglass can upgrade your door and enhance your home. It can be intimidating to choose a new entry. This new tool makes the process easy and fun. First, using your computer, tablet or smartphone, choose among three project types: 1. Replace Glass—For homeowners who simply want to replace their existing doorglass with a new design or style. 2. Add Glass—For homeowners who want to add doorglass to a door that previously had none or to increase the size of the doorglass in their existing door. 3. Replace Your Door—For homeowners who want to completely change their entry system, this option allows them to choose their existing entryway configuration and then choose any door type, doorglass shapes and designs they like. Next, you simply upload a photo of your house or choose from preloaded sample home photos and then customize the entryway with the online tool by choosing among an array of designs. Each doorglass selection instantly appears on the door

in the image. Once you’ve selected your style, with the aid of Your Door Stylizer, you can share the project via e-mail or social media, save the image to an online account or print it for later reference. Online, you can learn where to get the glass you’ve selected and how to get it installed. Because it’s made by ODL, a leading manufacturer of decorative and clear doorglass and entry treatments, the glass can also help your doors meet Energy Star criteria. All decorative doorglass is sealed between two panes of tempered safety glass, insulated for airtight and watertight performance. Other Entryway Ideas Once you’ve decided on the door, you may consider improving the rest of the entryway. Here are a few ideas to try: • Line the sides of the front steps with plants in pots. • If you have a covered porch, paint a mural on the ceiling or line it with mirror tiles. • If there’s room, add a swing, a small seat or a storage box. • Put up a trellis and train a vine over it. • Use solar-powered lanterns on posts to light the walkway.

(NAPS)—In the flurry of today’s active family lifestyles, it is clear that the garage is no longer just the domain of the family car. For many households, this versatile space is used by every member of the family. It has become the logical place to store tools and gear for sports, hobbies, yard work and playtime, along with out-of-season items that would otherwise take up room inside the home. However, with so much to hold and family members coming and going all the time, the challenge is to keep this space neat and well organized. To help, here are some garage design tips from EasyClosets— an online provider of do-it-yourself custom storage and organization systems for all areas of the home. • Establish the transition area —the space that’s reserved for hanging coats, storing shoes and boots, and setting down packages, groceries or mail when you’re opening the door. • Next, determine a need-it-now area for quick and easy access to things like dog food and leashes, water bottles and other beverages, or recycling bins. • Decide which area is best for long, thin yard and maintenance tools like shovels, rakes and clippers. • Identify elevation zones, creating a storage area for large items that may be stored out of the way for months at a time, such as coolers, camping gear and holiday decorations. Reserve easy-to-reach areas for the kids to keep their sports equipment. • Plan an area for frequently used items such as active gear, outdoor games and cleaning supplies. • Stake out a workspace for hobbies and interests. From gardening to fishing, woodworking or automotive work, designate a space for organizing tools and supplies needed to work on these projects. A Multipurpose Space To help homeowners complete the conversion of their garage to a truly multipurpose family space, EasyClosets created organization solutions that keep the garage in order, improve its appearance, and make it easy for family members to find or put away the things they need. “Transforming the garage into a hardworking, multipurpose space can actually empower a family’s active lifestyle,” said EasyClosets organization expert Denise Scopas. Homeowners can choose from cabinets, shelves, drawers, work surfaces and clever accessories. EasyClosets garage cabinets are available in several depth and height options, and can even be customized to meet a variety of width requirements. To maximize space, the company also offers slatwall panels to hold hooks, racks and baskets. The cabinets come in seven on-trend colors and with stylish hardware that coordinates with today’s homes. Designed and engineered especially for the garage environment, the solutions feature heavy-duty cabinets with integrated full back panels, one-inch-thick sturdy shelves, and doors with wide-opening Euro-style hinges. Legs can also be added for additional support or style. Intuitive Design Feature The company offers an intuitive online design tool to make space planning quick and easy for homeowners. Complimentary design service is also available, allowing customers to have an expert review their plan or create it for them. The solutions are made specifically for do-it-yourself installation. Components are cut to order and shipped with a complete set of hardware and detailed instructions to make home assembly successful—even for those without remodeling experience.

A Smooth Way To Handle Seasonal Chores (NAPS)—Any time can be the right time to tackle those household chores you have been avoiding. However, there are a number of tasks that demand to be handled once the weather turns warm. To help, Liquid Wrench® has an entire family of products designed specifically for do-it-yourself projects. Whether it’s fixing a squeaky door hinge, prepping the lawn or getting the boat ready for warm weather action, homeowners often turn to spray lubricants or oils to help them get the job done easily and inexpensively. Here are some tips: • For squeaky door hinges, use a dry lubricant. Unlike a wet or sticky lubricant that attracts dirt and increases hinge wear, this goes on dry, leaving no mess and maximizing effectiveness far longer. • If the garbage disposal has started to make a racket, use the same dry lubricant. Spray it through the sink drain to the bottom of the garbage disposal. Just make sure water hasn’t flowed through the disposal for at least eight hours so the lubricant can attach itself to the inside parts of the disposal. • In the bathroom, where hot water and steam from showers can rust door and cabinet hinges, a little silicone spray will prevent that from happening. • To keep automatic and manual garage doors operating smoothly, you can use a three-pronged approach: 1. Spray lithium grease in the rollers on the inside of the roller cup. 2. Use a dry lubricant in the door tracks to quiet the operation and prevent buildup of debris in the tracks. 3. Lubricate the drive chain with a chain lube to keep links and cables operating smoothly. • After a cold, harsh winter, penetrating oil is great for freeing up frozen or sticky linkages on lawn equipment and shop equipment, like presses and clamping fixtures. • For hedge clippers and other lawn equipment, a drop or two of lubricating oil will help get them garden ready in no time at all. It also helps to provide a barrier against rust. • When it comes to keeping car window tracks running smoothly, many prefer a silicone spray as a lubricant, since it won’t streak the windows. • And when your chores are done and it’s time to play, a light coat of silicone spray will also turn air hockey and foosball playing surfaces into fast-action fun! DIY projects and spring-cleaning are all about preserving and maintaining what you have and avoiding breakdowns. Liquid Wrench has specialty lubricants and penetrants for these and every type of DIY job. Learn more by visiting www.liquidwrench.com.

Protecting Treasures (NAPS)—The cornerstone of our nation, the U.S. Constitution, resides in the Rotunda of the National Archives. It is protected in a hightech titanium case under protective glass, and window film has been installed to help protect this precious document from fading due to light exposure. The same kind of easily installed window film can protect your home’s treasures as well. Window film: • Blocks up to 99 percent of UV rays • Slows fading of furnishings • Is virtually clear, letting natural light in • Can reflect interior heat back inside to keep you warmer in cold weather • Reduces solar heat gain, which can save you up to 30 percent off your cooling costs in warm weather. Another plus—for 2013 and retroactive to 2012, window films qualify for an up to $500 home improvement energy tax credit from the IRS. “Many homeowners are choosing professionally installed window film as a smart and convenient way to upgrade their existing windows to today’s energy-saving standards rather than paying the high cost of replacing them,” said Darrell Smith, executive director of the nonprofit International Window Film Association. A free booklet about window film can be downloaded at www.iwfa.com.

Understanding Recycling
(NAPS)—Here’s good news, for a change, about our environment: Americans have more than tripled the amount of materials they recycled in the 1980s—more than a third of the country’s household waste—thanks to technological advances by the waste industry that collects, sorts and processes America’s recyclables. How It Works Nearly 10,000 communities nationwide now have curbside recycling pickup, taking recyclables directly from bins at homes. Many communities use single-stream recycling, through which all recyclables are placed into the same bin for collection and sorting. From there, recyclables arrive for sorting, either at a community transfer station or a materials recovery facility (MRF). High-tech innovations at MRFs help automate and streamline the sorting and separating of commingled recyclables, while dedicated workers oversee the process. Sorting recycled materials lessens the chance for contamination and better prepares the materials to be repurposed. With screens, optical scanners and conveyor belts, MRFs sort materials with precision. These facilities also employ magnets and electric currents, called “eddy currents,” that separate aluminum cans from the rest of the waste stream. Materials are then baled, shredded, crushed or compacted before being shipped to manufacturers to be turned into new products. These innovations make recycling more affordable for communities, reduce the amount of waste going to landfills, cut greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the environmental impact of household waste. Simplifying the recycling process also encourages greater participation. “The items you place in your recycling bin or cart—aluminum and steel cans, newspapers, glass bottles and jars, plastics, cardboard and corrugated boxes—do, in fact, make it to a recycling facility,” explained Sharon H. Kneiss, president and CEO of the National Solid Wastes Management Association. “Americans who recycle should rest easy that by recycling they are helping save energy and conserve vital natural resources. “There are still communities where curbside recycling isn’t being offered. Consumers who want these services should get in touch with community officials to encourage more recycling,” said Kneiss.

Enjoy Life’s Messy Moments More
(NAPS)—Sometimes, life brings messy moments—the time the kids get crazy with confetti, say, or decide they want to help you bake cookies. Fortunately, with the right techniques and tools, you can relax and enjoy those moments and then clean it all up without spoiling the fun. Good Clean (Messy) Fun Here are a few hints that can help: • Take precautions. If you have kids or pets, make sure sharp knives, scissors, tools and similar objects, artwork, fine stemware and other breakables, as well as cleaning solutions, are tucked 200 West Main St. away in a safe place. Cherryvale, KS • Keep a supply of eraser-like stain removers on hand. These dispense melamine foam that can eliminate crayon marks on walls, scuff marks on floors or other stains. • Keep everyone’s hands clean and germ free.

Two-way communication between the power unit and hose handle keeps you informed about the system’s operating efficiency, and a fail-safe collection receptacle snaps into place to ensure a perfect fit and perfect seal every time.

Big, Colorful Ideas For Small Spaces (NAPS)—Making a small room appear larger can be as simple as using color creatively. To add some breathing room to a compact space, all you need are some colorful ideas. “Color is one of the easiest, most affordable ways to transform the look and feel of a room,” says David Bromstad, HGTV® star and celebrity interior designer. “When used in a few well-chosen places, such as a feature wall or statement piece of furniture, color can have a big impact in a small space.” Bromstad offers these color tips for transforming a space from tiny to airy: Create a focal point with paint. Paint a statement wall that draws attention away from the size of your space and toward something beautiful and vibrant. Bright or bold colors work well, as the wall can appear to recede, creating the illusion of space. Go big with lighter and softer colors. In areas beyond the feature wall, use lighter and softer colors to make the space seem larger. Light blues and greens add significant light subtly to a room. Coordinate your colors. Stretch your space and
August/September, 2013
maximize impact by using color to coordinate your rooms and decor. HGTV® HOME by Sherwin-Williams offers precoordinated collections of color, paint and wallpaper. The color palettes can be used to ensure that your walls, furniture and accessories help create a cohesive look. Reflect upon something. Placed opposite a window or side by side, mirrors can spread light throughout the room to make spaces feel larger. A tall mirror draws the eye up, making ceilings look taller. When angled toward your room’s focal wall, a mirror can also create the illusion of depth. Paint something unexpected. Think beyond your walls and consider painting your mailbox or address numbers on your home, a stairway banister or a piece of furniture. Add a colorful punctuation point by transforming a bedroom nightstand bright blue or a desk chair in an unexpected orange. Everything else in the room will appear larger. “Clever use of color adds the illusion of space and injects personality into it as well. That’s what’s great about color; you can dramatically alter the look of a room while expressing yourself in a fun way,” Bromstad adds.

Advice On Energy Efficiency (NAPS)—For your own comfort now and your profit when the time comes to sell, it pays to get thoroughly acquainted with all the ins and outs of taking care of your new home. What To Do These tips can help you maximize the safety and efficiency of the place as you make it your own: • Check filters. Inspect filters in the furnace, air conditioner and range hood and clean or replace as necessary. If the previous owners didn’t leave product manuals behind, search for them online to find the manufacturers’ maintenance recommendations. • Change lightbulbs. Consider swapping existing lightbulbs for more energy-efficient models or simply wait for the old ones to burn out and make the change as you go. Longer-lasting LED lighting offers energy efficiencies. •Check the water heater. Experts recommend setting the water heater at 120° F, which is comfortable for most uses and minimizes energy use. To save even more energy, insulate the water heater with an insulating blanket, which can be found at most hardware stores.
August/September, 2013
• Upgrade the thermostat. Installing a programmable thermostat can save up to 10 percent a year on heating and cooling when you program it to fall back 7 to 10 degrees while you’re away at work. Prices start around $20 for basic models that most homeowners can install themselves. With many, you can set the program so your house is already comfortable when you return home. •Consider window film. Installing window film for sun control can help reduce energy use and protect furnishings from fading. For example, 3M Sun Control Window Films can reduce cooling costs by up to 25 percent by rejecting solar heat. They also help block up to 99 percent of harmful UV rays to minimize fading and are available in varieties that do not change the appearance of the window. This can be a good solution for rooms that get lots of sun exposure or rooms with a patio door access. Window films can also reduce glare on TV or computer screens.
