Don’t Move Firewood Carrying firewood around in and out of state may encourage the spread of unwanted pests.

AT HOME R1

Don’t Move Firewood Carry firewood around the state and you may bring unlikely visitors to your hearth and landscape.

By Carol O’Meara Urban trees Colorado State struggling University Extension from drought, compacted soils and tough conditions are ripe for picking by hitchhiking insects traveling in wood and downed logs.

Insects found plaguing other forests and communities are making a new home in the Front Range, thanks to people who move firewood.

Insects are so small you never see them until they are a problem and though there will always be insects in firewood, we need to be worried, because this is how serious pests are moved from state to state.

Emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis), a very serious pest of ash trees, has been found in Boulder.

Deserving the designation as a tree killer, this lethal little bug should never have found its way across the Great Plains to Colorado; the wide expanses without ash trees and its inability to fly huge distances should have buffered us from the invasion.

But here it is, most likely because a human brought it in on firewood.

Colorado’s popularity for tourism

is a double edged sword: there’s a high potential for moving pests within the state or for people to bring in new problems.

Trees in nurseries are monitored for pests and must have good health when brought to Colorado, but firewood is hard to regulate because it’s usually an individual bringing it in for camping or for home fireplaces.

Local companies selling firewood usually have clean product because they buy two-year-old wood from the forest service, which is free from beetles.

Insects typically attack stressed trees, which is a perpetual state of being for a tree in Colorado. Insects can spread from firewood to trees;

moving firewood around risks spreading problems across the state.

The best prevention is to be sure your firewood is safe. Here are a few simple steps: - Purchase only wood cut and bundled locally. In the upcoming quarantine, firewood will not be allowed to move out of Boulder County. If you don’t know where the wood is from, ask.

- Buy only what you need from a nearby source, and if camping, burn it all before you leave. If you can’t burn it all, leave it behind for the next camper, or bury the remainder.

- Check the wood to make sure it’s dry and weathered with bark that peels off easily. Avoid wood

with branches holding green needles.

- One sign that insects have gone are exit holes, but if there are pitch tubes of sap which look like popcorn, loud squeaking noises coming from the wood, or meandering tunnels just below the bark, look closer for white, grub-like larvae.

- If you suspect insects are in your wood, call your local Colorado State Forest office, or visit their website at csfs.colostate.edu/ for help in identifying the bugs you find.

Should your wood have bark beetles, be safe and de-bark the wood, destroying the bark with burning. Burn the wood as quickly as possible, especially before the following summer when adults emerge. Taking it to the dump or tree limb disposal areas will spread the problem around and is not recommended. No chemicals are registered for treatment of firewood.

Tips to ensure your shower upgrade doesn't turn into a leaky mess

atHome athomecolorado.com

featured properties

(BPT) - Whether you’re a DIY expert or hiring

the job out to a professional, it’s important to carefully review the plans for a new shower.

If you’re up for a do-it-yourself job, carefully consider the materials you’ll use – look for options that make your job easier but don’t skimp on quality. For instance, the new Shower System from USG and its DUROCK brand is designed to streamline installation without compromising on performance.

• The shower tray:The pre-sloped, high-density, molded-foam shower tray in USG’s DUROCK Shower System has a 2 percent slope that makes it easily compatible with a wide array of tile shapes and sizes, offering comfortable flooring and simplicity of installation.

• Waterproof membranes: Using a waterproof membrane ensures far better performance long term.A strong (tear-proof) and thin waterproof membrane over a durable cement board, such as DUROCK cement board ensures that your shower stays waterproof, even beyond what your eye can see.

• Caulking and sealing:Avoid the stress of having to deal with water damage and repairs by grouting carefully and using a bathroom-grade silicone caulk that can stand up to the moisture of the room.

Choosing a good agent to sell your home

By Ilyce Glink and Samuel J. Tamkin, Tribune Media Services

Q

: How do we find a good real

estate agent to help us sell our house? The last agent we used asked us to move out and rent an apartment before the buyer inspected our house or closed on the purchase.We refused.Then she asked us to sign a paper that we would fix everything the buyers requested as repairs to the home.

She also asked us to install a new roof by making a claim with the insurance company and suggested that the roofers would not charge the deductible.

No one tried to negotiate any of these matters on our behalf, and the buyers backed out of the deal.

This is the second similar experience we've had with real estate agents.

A

: Something doesn't smell right.

On the one hand, you seem to have found some real estate agents that don't appear to have your interest at heart.Your real estate agent should be your advocate and work to help you through the real estate transaction.Yours are behaving in a counterintuitive manner, which leads us to believe something else is going on.

While we take your letter at face value, we're wondering what your home looks like inside and out. Did you fail to repair serious roof damage and now your house is covered

in mold? Are you and your spouse "hoarders," and your home is filled to the brim with junk?

If two real estate agents have been trying to get you to move out of the home, they may be sending you a signal that your home isn't salable in the condition in which it is in -- a fact that may be difficult to convey more directly.

We know of situations where sellers think their home should sell as is but is a hard sell due to the seller's own actions.We wonder if you've taken as step back to assess how your home looks with all of your belongings in it and the damage to your roof? Would your home look better without your personal goods (and that's why the real estate agent feels that moving out would allow the home to show better)?

Every seller should try to take an objective look at his or her home.

This isn't easy to do. But you have to try and imagine what you could do to your home to make it look better.

In some cases, sellers should get rid of as much stuff as possible.We call that "decluttering." You might even want to pack and put away photographs and other personal items.You should make your home as open and light as possible, and that might include removing some furniture and perhaps some curtains and making the rooms seem as big and open as possible.

If you can't imagine what this might look like, turn on HGTV any

night of the week and spend a few hours watching how homes are transformed by professional stagers into properties that are sell-ready.

In essence, you need to figure out if the issue is with you and your home or with your choice of real estate agents.

If the problem you're having is in finding a good real estate agent, we'd suggest you ask friends, neighbors, accountants and attorneys you may know for a good referral.

You should also look around your neighborhood and see what real estate companies have the greatest number of listings there. Once you have the names of a couple of companies, you can see if you can figure out which real estate agents actively work in your area.

Once you have those names, you can then interview the agents and see if they are a good fit with you.

Personalities are quite important when you choose an agent. If the agent is pushy and won't listen to you, your relationship may be rocky from the start. If the agent says only things that please you, you may have found an agent unwilling to be honest with you.

A good real estate agent will not only give you information about properties in your area -- your competition -- but will also tell you what's wrong with your house to make your home sell quicker.

We've written quite a bit in the past about finding the right broker for each particular seller.A good place to start is with other sell-

the services provided by a listing agent. Don't just ask for a name.

You should also ask about what they liked about the agent, how the agent treated them, the services the agent provided, the response time to requests, feedback from showings of their homes, whether the agent did the work or had associates doing most of the chores, and whether the agent was a good advocate during the negotiations and through the closing process.

Good agents usually don't simply walk through the door.You need to do some legwork to find a good one.

Avoid extensive repairs by winterizing your home this fall and can sometimes seep into the home and damage ceilings and walls.

Roof, siding and shutter repairs - Heavy rains and high winds can call for window protection from shutters and the necessity of a sturdy exterior and roof for protection.ASHI recommends inspecting your roof, siding and shutters at least once a year.

Caulking cracks to stop cold drafts - Worn-out weather stripping around doors and windows allows cold air to seep into the home, which increases heating costs.

Inspecting chimneys - Adding a cap or screen to the top of a chimney will prevent birds nesting or animals entering.ASHI also recommends inspecting the damper for proper operation and checking mortar between bricks.

Checking batteries in carbon monoxide and smoke detectors - Many fires or cases of carbon

monoxide poisoning occur during cooler months due to an increase in furnace and other heat source usage. If you have gas appliances, you need a CO detector for increased safety.

"The time to get serious about necessary home repairs is before the temperature starts dropping," says Jacques. "Once winter weather begins and your home has problems, you will be wasting money each month, so think about getting your home professionally inspected so you can keep the home in good condition and reduce problems from lack of maintenance.ASHIcertified home inspectors can help identify problems so you can keep your home in good condition."

Homeowners can find an ASHI inspector by visiting www.ashi.org.

The ASHI "Find a Home Inspector" directory allows homeowners to locate an inspector in their area, by language preferences or services provided.

(BPT) - Autumn is on the way, so don't fall behind on your seasonal home repairs checklist. It pays to know which renovations to tackle now, which repairs can wait until next season, and what preventative measures can help you avoid largescale, costly repairs.

"While staying warm is top of mind for many homeowners this upcoming winter, it is important to note that in order to stay warm and dry, homes must first be function-

Concrete is one of the hottest trending materials for everything from exterior patios to interior floors.With creative finish options such as coloring and stamping,

ing properly," says Bill Jacques,American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) president.

"A home inspection can help homeowners prioritize maintenance projects as the seasons change and weather becomes more severe."

ASHI recommends fall as the ideal time to begin home inspector consultations and any necessary home repairs. Maintenance costs are generally lower when homeowners proactively prepare their home for winter weather instead of waiting to fix issues that appear.

Homeowners may want to consult with a professional home inspector on winterizing projects, including: • Cleaning gutters and downspouts - When ice damming occurs, water cannot drain from gutters

Prevent nuisance animals from entering home

By Mary Beth Breckenridge, Akron Beacon Journal (MCT)

For

Brian Briggs can’t resist looking for trouble.

Driving down a residential street, he’ll slow to peer at rotted siding or point to some suspicious dark streaks under an attic vent. Even from a distance, he can tell that some form of wildlife has made its way into those houses.

Briggs is a nuisance animal remover, the guy homeowners and landlords call when wild animals make their way into walls, attics, basements and other places where they’re not welcome.

He and his two partners in Frontline Animal Removal specialize in trapping and removing animals from buildings and making sure others don’t come in. Fall is a busy time of year for the crew, as varmints move in on humans in an effort to escape autumn’s chill.

Usually Briggs handles the paperwork and administrative chores

for the Lake Township, Ohio-based business, but this day he’s making the rounds to check traps the crew has set and assess new customers’ situations.All the while, he’s fielding calls from homeowners with squirrels in their attics or groundhogs under their sheds.

It takes him just seconds to recognize the problem at a house in West Akron, Ohio, where the owner has heard noises above the ceiling.

“Brick. Squirrels can shimmy right up,” Briggs says. He looks up to see a narrow opening along a soffit where a section of mesh vent had rotted away. Bingo.

The problem, Briggs explains, is that animals are relentless when they’re seeking a place to stay warm in fall or to give birth in spring.They’ll chew through wood.

They’ll push aluminum soffits out of the way.They’ll squeeze through small openings — in some cases, just a fraction of an inch wide.

.

tion is to blame, sometimes poor maintenance. Other times it’s just a matter of a wily animal exploiting an opportunity.

In urban areas particularly, many animals are born in attics. So that’s where they go to breed, Briggs says.

TROUBLE SPOTS

Briggs scales a ladder onto the lower roof of a split-level house in Lake Township and immediately starts noticing potential trouble spots.

He points to a gap where the siding doesn’t quite meet the edge of the chimney.“That’s prime space for bats,” he says.

A little give in the aluminum soffit could be a problem, too. Unless it’s reinforced with plywood, a raccoon can easily push it up to get access to the house.

And then there’s the tree overhanging the roof, the perfect jumping-off point for a squirrel.

Vents without louvers or screens are often problems, he said. So are the places where pipes and wires enter a house.The complex roof angles from multiple dormers and gables that are common in home construction today can also spell trouble, because they can cause water to pool and promote moisture damage.

The problems aren’t uncommon, and they’re not limited to older houses, he says. But without a practiced eye like Briggs’, most homeowners probably wouldn’t even see them.

“Most people don’t notice it until they hear the noise in the attic,” he says.

TRAPPING ANIMALS

Briggs is striding across a backyard in Lake Township toward a shed plagued by groundhogs when he hears a distinctive clang.

Success.The spring-loaded door has slammed on one of the two box traps his company set the day before.

Sure enough, he finds a toothy culprit trapped in one metal cage.

Reporter-Herald

Then he rounds a corner of the shed to find a surprise: a second groundhog in the other trap.

Double success.

The animals appear unharmed, but one chatters its teeth in what Briggs explains is a defense mechanism. He has no way to move them, so he leaves the animals in the traps until he can return in a couple of hours with a transport cage.

The Frontline crew almost always uses live traps to capture nuisance animals and then either releases them some distance away or euthanizes them. By state law, certain animals including raccoons, skunks and opossums must be destroyed because of their potential for spreading diseases. Others can be released, but only outside city or village limits and only on property where the owner has granted permission.

Briggs says homeowners occasionally will want the animals captured in their homes to be released on their own property, but he thinks that’s a mistake. Once an animal has gotten into a home, it will do almost anything to get back in, he says. If you’re not going to remove the animal from the property, you might as well not even bother catching it.

GETTING RID OF BATS

The bats are apparently gone, but their evidence remains on a near two-story home in Plain Township.

Bits of dried bat guano cling to the siding and chimney bricks.

More droppings discolor the vents in the soffit where the bats have been living. Often bats will also leave dark streaks where they enter and exit a house, caused by the oil on their bodies.

Briggs’ colleague Ryan Kirk — one of three partners in the business, along with Dominic Morber — is just about ready to remove the bat cone he installed to rid the soffit of the winged intruders.The tube, which was inserted vertically into a portion of the soffit and has an open bottom, serves as a one-way exit.The bats can escape

OCTOBER 19, 2013

through it, but they can’t get back in.That’s because bats can only re-enter an opening by landing and crawling in, and the tube makes that impossible.

Bats can be expensive to eradicate.The law prohibits destroying bats, so “we can only kick ‘em out,” Kirk says. But the bats will do whatever they can to get back into a place they’ve inhabited, and they can squeeze into an opening just three-eighths inch wide. Keeping them out requires extensive sealing to close up all the little openings they might take advantage of.

Making repairs to prevent further wildlife infestations is part of Frontline’s approach, Briggs explains. He has construction experience, but the company will call in a professional builder if the repairs are extensive enough to warrant it.

“We try real hard to make it look like we were never there,” Kirk says.

HOW TO KEEP WILDLIFE OUT

HIDE AND SEEK

Briggs walks the roof of an apartment house in Barberton, Ohio, checking trap after trap.

Every one of the 15 is empty.

The building has been plagued by squirrels, but so far he and his colleagues have trapped only two.

“This place is giving us fits,” he says.

Some nearby trees were recently trimmed, so Briggs figures that cut off the squirrels’ path to the building. Still, he expected to find something. He and his crew have closed off all the access points save one, and that one leads to a trap.They even used traps that had been wrapped with duct tape to capture some of the urine and fur of squirrels that were caught in them earlier, in the hope the scent would attract others.

Probably, he says, he’s going to have to go into the attic to look for spots of daylight that would indicate openings they’ve missed.

Tips for keeping wildlife out of your home: • Clean your gutters. Clogged gutters can cause water to pool and create ice dams, rotting fascia boards and roof sheathing and making it easy for squirrels to gnaw through the softened wood.

• Trim tree branches to keep them away from the house. Squirrels can jump up to 8 feet laterally and as far as 10 feet from a high spot to a place below.

• Seal holes, cracks and other small openings on the outside of the house and basement. Include the places where pipes and wires enter the house and spaces between the siding and the chimney.

• Cover vents with grills or rustresistant screening, if appropriate.

Ohio law prohibits screening clothes dryer vents.

• Replace loose mortar and weatherstripping.

• Install door sweeps, including under the garage door.

• Cap your chimney.

• Don’t feed wild animals. It attracts them to your home.

• Keep areas beneath wooden steps clean.

• Keep window screens in good repair.

• Store firewood at least 20 feet away from the house.

• Keep shrubbery well-trimmed.

Bloedorn Lumber—

Longtime Loveland Business Rides out the Storms

By Darren Thornberry, At Home Colorado

Are you surprised to learn that Bloedorn Lumber has been in business in Loveland since 1965?

Just when you thought the big box stores were the only game left in town, this hearty local business is here to remind northern Colorado that it’s still here, 48 years later.

Bloedorn Lumber has in fact been in business since the end of the First World War.The original business, the Torrington Lumber and Coal Company in Torrington, Wyo., has expanded over 80 years to become a headquarters for building materials and home improvements.With locations across Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska and Colorado, the company is proud of its longevity, its people and its history in this part of the country.

General manager Jon Nyhart presides over a staff of 27 serving Loveland at its 1810 West Eisenhower facility. Nyhart has been with the company for 13 years and been general manager for three.

“We do take-offs (determining all the materials required to construct a design) for customers, deliver-

.

ies to job sites, in-house cabinet and window and door design … nearly everything up to the point of installation,” he says. In addition, Bloedorn has a full-fledged drywall division, interior design department, a 24,000 square-foot store and userfriendly showroom.This might come as a surprise to the casual do-it-yourselfer who observes the name “Bloedorn Lumber” and imagines nothing but boards stacked to the heavens.

In fact, Bloedorn Lumber in Loveland is the premier lumber company showroom in Northern Colorado, offering cabinets, wood and laminate flooring, countertops, windows and more.

Contractor sales account for the lion’s share of the company’s sales, but Nyhart and staff are working hard to be the natural choice for the weekend home repair warriors.

“It’s competitive out there,” he acknowledges.“At one time, there were four lumberyards in Loveland,

More than just lumber, Bloedorn Lumber offers cabinets, flooring and countertops for your new or remodeled kitchen.

excluding Home Depot and Lowe’s, and now there’s just us.There’s a lot of business to be had, but it’s not always easy to get.”

Spring and summer are generally the busiest time for Bloedorn, but the clean up from the flooding in northern Colorado has caused business to remain brisk. Many people are leaning on the business for goods and services as they repair and restore their properties and homes. Still, Nyhart bristles at the suggestion that the tragedy is “good” for business.“I have close friends and employees that were directly affected by the flood,” he says.“We’re part of this community.

While it has been devastating, the silver lining for me is the ability to be part of the solution.”

Floods notwithstanding, it’s no secret the housing market has been battered over the last few years.While the downturn shuttered scores of hardware stores and lumberyards, Bloedorn managed to ride it out and finds the situation improving.“It’s interesting that northern Colorado was one of the first housing markets to go bust and it seems now to be among the first to recover,” Nyhart observes.“There just isn’t a lot of inventory out there, especially with starter homes.As rental prop-

Reporter-Herald

erties became scarce, new builds on entry-level homes began again and still continues. Construction has taken off again in Loveland, Ft. Collins and Greeley, although from what I hear this still isn’t true in many other parts of the country.”

So, what gets you up in the morning?

This question often is asked in articles like this and could become cliché were it not for the honest responses it so often elicits. Nyhart ponders it for a moment.“What gets me out of bed is knowing that no two days are alike. I love the challenges, the obstacles, and the problem solving. My staff is very knowledgeable, and we work hard to bring cohesion to the local building community.”

The company tagline – Friendly Place, Serious Service – is absolutely true and the public is invited to come and see, whether they need a hammer or enough lumber to build a house. Bloedorn Lumber routinely advertises upcoming sales in ads and circulars.

• Little luxuries in the bathroom: Replace your current shower head with a rain shower, like the Waterpik RainFall+. Completely budget-friendly and easy to install - it takes less than five minutes - this showerhead can make a huge difference in an everyday routine - giving a spa-like experience with multiple high-performance spray settings.

The same goes for lighting - brightening up this space in particular can be a big selling point.

• Don't forget about the outside: Every home needs

curb appeal. If you can't afford major landscaping, focus on the entrance to the home.Again, updating with paint and hardware on the front door will be a welcoming touch, while a couple of really great potted plants at the entryway add to that focal point.

• It's in the details: Consider adding small details to rooms that will elevate the style. Framing out windows, or adding baseboards, molding or wainscoting to a space will leave it feeling a bit more polished.

No matter how big or small your projects, remember it doesn't take a lot of money to make a big impact to any space.
