Tackling your home maintenance to-do list

F

By Jura Koncius

The Washington Post

ollowing a year-long pandemic, we’re all suffering from overexposure to our own homes. We’ve had more time to contemplate and less motivation to tackle the outof-whack elements in our houses and apartments - the minor repairs that have seemingly taken up permanent residence on our to-do lists.

You know the ones I mean.

That irksome window you can’t open because it has a ripped screen. Or that rattling bathroom fan that infuriates you every time you flip it on.

“Our house has been a safe haven over the past 15 months,” says Caroline Carter, founder and chief executive of Bethesda, Md.-based Done in a Day, a move-management company. “And now it’s time to show it some love, especially on things that beep, squeak or creak.”

Small and relatively inexpensive fixes are routinely put off, then addressed just before putting a house on the market. But if the pandemic has taught us one thing, it’s to live for today. Make a list of the most annoying repairs, and address them one by one. If you’re handy and into DIY, that’s great. If you have a friend or family member who can help you, even better. If not, many of the jobs take only an hour or two for a professional, whether that be a plumber, carpenter or handyperson.

“We get lots of calls from people who decide they want to put their home on the market right now,” says Chuck Khiel, vice president of Fred Home Improvement, a division of Case Architects & Remodelers.

“Instead of taking care of little things throughout the year, they suddenly decide to take advantage of a hot market and have a long checklist of home repairs.”

We asked Khiel, as well

as a home inspector and a move-management expert, about minor repairs and how to address them. Here are eight of the most common issues they mentioned.

1. Tune up your toilet

The sound of water continuously running in a toilet “should annoy you, because you are wasting time and money,” says Scott Robertson, owner of District Home Inspection in D.C. This is usually caused by a leaky flapper not sealing properly.

Replacing a standard flapper, generally for less than $10, is relatively easy, he says.

He often buys the Korky brand. “Flappers probably last about four to five years.

They are made of a flexible material that is resilient, but a buildup of minerals from your water can make it become stiff over time and not seal properly,” Robertson

“Our house has been a safe haven over the past 15 months, and now it’s time to show it some love, especially on things that beep, squeak or creak.”

Now is the time to catch up on small, relatively inexpensive fixes around your house. If you can’t perform the fixes yourself, many routine jobs only take an hour or two in the hands of a professional. (METRO CREATIVE ARTS)

2. Replace a broken

storm door closer If you hate how your storm door slams shut, and you’ve tried and failed to adjust the tension, it might be time for a new door closer, Robertson Caroline Carter, founder and chief executive of Bethesda, says.

3.

Silence a noisy bathroom fan Old bathroom fans sometimes make such a racket that homeowners don’t bother to turn them on. “Fans get clogged and caked with dust particles because nobody ever takes off the cover to clean them,” Khiel says. (Note to self: Use a vacuum to suck the dust out of the bathroom fan once a month or so to help prevent clogging and prolong the life of the unit.) Moreover, he says, humidity can rust metal parts. “The dust and the rust can make a fan start to clank,” Khiel says. If the fan SEE TO-DO, PAGE F4

Getting to the roots of caring for perennials

T

HE GREAT ATTRACtion in growing perennial flowers is that you never have to replant them, at least in theory.

This does not make all perennials care free, though. Few of them let you just sit back to enjoy them year after year once they’re planted.

Take coreopsis, for example, a wonderful perennial that just ended its first flush of bright yellow blossoms. Like a number of other perennial flowers, coreopsis can be overly exuberant in some gardens — mine, for instance. Right now, the plants are threatening to take over the whole flower bed in which they were planted.

Coreopsis spreads very effectively by self-sown seeds and by suckering roots. Both seedlings and root suckers are beginning to elbow out dianthus and other more sedate neighbors.

Agastache, also in that bed, is one plant that can stand up to coreopsis. As a matter of fact, agastache is so aggressive that I might call it a weed, tempting me to remove it altogether once and for all. Like coreopsis, it spreads by seeds and suckering roots. As I pull on those lico-

Perennial flowers do need some care, as in the cutting back of delphiniums spent flower stalks to get them to rebloom this season. (LEE REICH PHOTO)

rice-minty stems, though, their aroma beckons me to leave in at least a few plants. I give in.

Fortunately, keeping agastache, coreopsis, and similarly exuberant perennials in line is satisfyingly easy. A quick tug on a stem or two wrenches it from the soil, roots and all, causing little disturbance to nearby plant roots. Try to tug on too many stems at once and

they don’t release so easily, or else they pull along too big a clump of soil for the ride. If I did want to plant more of any of these perennials (I don’t), those dislodged stems re-establish quickly at a new site or in flower pots to plant out later.

Oriental poppy is another perennial currently needing some attention. Excess plants need to be weeded out, but —

more important — this plant needs tidying up. Oriental poppy dies back in summer, so I cut back the sad-looking, dying flower stalks and leaves and cart them over to the compost pile.

I mentioned that dianthus is well-behaved, yet even this plant needs some attention.

Shearing back the stems now that the first flush of bloom is past helps induce another flush of bloom this season or, at least, better bloom next year.

Shearing stimulates growth of new, flower-bearing stems and diverts energy that otherwise would go into ripening seeds into new growth and blossoms.

Thwarting seed production also prevents at least one means of spread — by seedlings — of

some perennials. Shearing is useful for creeping stems but cutting back individual flower stalks is the treatment for for clump forming plants. Other plants slated for shearing or cutting back include snowin-summer, delphinium, and columbine.

A few perennials do live up to gardeners’ hopes of a plant you set in the ground, then do nothing more than enjoy the annual show. Some that come to mind are peony, daylily, and hosta, all with dense enough foliage to even shade out most weeds.

• Install HVAC upgrades: Ultraviolet lights, humidifiers, dehumidifiers and filters all offer different ways to strip allergens and impurities from your air. These do come at a premium cost, so talk to an HVAC expert about what’s best for you. If you have an older HVAC system, you can improve air quality just by upgrading your equipment to a current energy-efficient model. (And if your system is older than 12 years, you’ll probably need to replace it soon anyway.)

• Change your habits: You can sharply cut down dust and allergens with a few simple changes to your habits. For instance, get into the habit of taking off your shoes when you come into the house. Around 85

Nowhere was that more evident than on May 27th at Barnard Park in Hartford, CT. Two ordinary citizens mobilized an expansive operation over state lines to give out a hundred bikes to people who found themselves without a home.

I have had the honor to witness Officer Jim Barrett in action over the years. He knows over 800 of Hartford’s homeless population by name. He calls them his clients. Watching the respect they have for him is stunning. He offers hope, advice, and a leg up rather than just food and clothing from his specially kitted-out old bomb squad truck. Then follows their progress as they try to find jobs and housing.

He put out a request to his friend Bob Charland, known as Bob the bike guy. My late father in Ireland would always say it’s not what you say it’s what you do. Based in Springfield MA, Bob is a doer. Over the years he has touched the lives of thousands of children all over New England with a “new” refurbished bike. He even specially designs bikes for deserving handicapped riders. I am very proud of the Yankee Home team who stepped up and helped install a new shower at Bob’s headquarters, all while refurbishing the Pedal thru Youth truck.

That sunny day in May, Interstate Towing generously sent a huge truck with 2 drivers. Bikers from various local motorcycle clubs teamed up with police officers from towns all over Western Mass. They coordinated with CT state troopers and Hartford police officers to convoy the bikes down from Bob facility at Lyman St. in Springfield.

Court officers, clerks, and employees chipped in from both towns, Judge Maltby was even on hand to help out.

Seeing ordinary Americans volunteering their time and coming together for Officer Barrett’s mission warmed my heart and made me realize I emigrated to the right country.

Sign suggests serving Cream of Wheat cold

C

REAM OF WHEAT, A cereal first marketed in 1898, is still a popular winter breakfast cereal. A trolley sign in a recent auction showed the picture of a box of Cream of Wheat and two children eating it from a bowl. The sign read, “Summer Favorite Served Cold with Fruit.” Was Cream of Wheat originally served cold? Most advertising, even today, promotes the use of the hot, cooked cereal for a winter breakfast.

Other popular cooked cereals — oatmeal, cornmeal, Ralston, Maltex, Farina and Wheatena — are like Cream of Wheat in that they could be eaten cold but are always advertised as hot cereals.

When cold, some get hard and lumpy, but all could be a breakfast cereal, especially if fresh fruit is added.

We searched the Internet and cookbooks and not one suggested that cold Cream of Wheat might be served at breakfast. Did the company have an advertising campaign that promoted it?

This sign could have been part of the advertising.

The box is one used in the 1930s, though the clothes seem more like the 1940s.

The trolley sign is 12 1/2 x 22 1/2 inches, made of cardboard or heavy paper, and in good condition. Someone is bound to buy it just for the memories of the cold, lumpy breakfast. Or maybe with a lot of maple syrup or bacon, it was a favorite cold breakfast.

Q. I’d like information

Current prices are recorded from antiques shows, flea markets, sales and auctions throughout the United States. Prices vary in different locations because of local economic conditions.

Mitsuoki Tosa was a Japanese painter who lived from 1617 to 1691. (Japanese names are often listed last name first, so Mitsuoki Tosa is often written as Tosa Mitsuoki.) He reintroduced the classical Japanese style of painting known as Yamato-e.

Your print is a reproduction of one of his paintings, which was included in the series depicting artisans working in old, traditional ways.

Although the painting of the Mat Maker was done in the 1600s, the woodblock print was probably made in the 1920s. It has been reproduced many times and can be found on prints, posters and greeting cards. The 1920s prints sell for about $60. Modern copies are available for $35.

Q. I have a cane with a

A.

Canes weren’t only used as an aid to walking but were also popular fashion accessories in the 1700s to the early 1900s. Canes with special features or those that conceal items are called gadget canes. They were made for both men and women. Canes have been made that conceal flasks, cameras, drugs, fans, guns, lighters, maps, perfume bottles, pool cues, sewing kits, snuff, surgical

storage, and casters make it easy to move the island where it’s most convenient.

The project is easy enough for beginners. Just cut out the pieces, laminate the top and assemble using screws, glue and nails. Once the project is put together, install the casters and drawers, oil the butcher block and enjoy your “new and improved” kitchen.

The island measures about 48 inches long by 24 inches wide by 36 inches tall.

WASHINGTON

30-year US mortgage rates slip to 2.98% 15-year fixed-rate falls to 2.26%

By Kathy Orton

The Washington Post

Mortgage rates didn’t stay above 3% for long. After just one week, they slid back below that level.

According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average dropped to 2.98% with an average 0.6 point. (Points are fees paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount.

They are in addition to the interest rate.) It was 3.02% a week ago and 3.07% a year ago.

Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from around 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national averages. It uses rates for high-quality borrowers with strong credit scores and large down payments.

Because of the criteria, these rates are not available to every borrower.

The survey is based on home purchase mortgages, which means rates for refinances may be higher.

The price adjustment for refinance transactions that went into effect in December is adding to the cost.

The adjustment, which applies to all Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac refinances, is 0.5% of the loan amount.

That works out to $1,500 on a $300,000 loan.

The 15-year fixed-rate average fell to 2.26% with an average 0.7 point. It was 2.34% a week ago and 2.56% a year ago. The fiveyear adjustable rate average inched up to 2.54% with an average 0.3 point. It was 2.53% a week ago and 3% a year ago.
