Although life and cannot cedar has a natural chemical to deter rot, I always use a sealer or stain that is able be changed without changing the to breathe so moisture that gets into the composite entirely.

Composite decking can be fastened to the structure in multiple ways. Face fastening is the most common which is basically a fastener through the face of the material into the structure. Composites can also be fastened with hidden fasteners or clips. Hidden fasteners are fasteners that are placed on the side of the material and into the structure. Clips are used to grip the groove on the side of the composite (must be ordered with these grooves) and fastened to the structure. Spacing is key when using composite. You can find special spacing tools to create hidden fasteners or clip fasteners, making spacing nearly automatic. When face fastening a composite material I will use a carpenters pencil to space the decking which gives it about 3/8 inch spacing.

When using a composite decking, the structure or deck joists need to be spaced less than when you are using a natural wood or treated wood decking, at about

wood can escape. Cedar is a popular choice in Southeast Alaska because it can be harvested regionally and supplied locally which cuts down on transporta-

The fastening on natural wood decks can be done exactly like the composite decking either face fastened or hidden fastened. Both ways of fastening are the

same as the composite decking, although the use of clips is not common with wood decking. Another advantage lumber has over composite wood is that it can span a greater distance between deck joists saving on structural materials and labor. But this can be offset by the fact that natural lumber may have warping, cupping, or crowning sometimes making it a challenge to work with.

Pressure treated and Sunwood (surface treated lumber) material is also a popular option. Neither pressure treated lumber or Sunwood receives stain or finish well, so what you see is what you get. It is possible to paint, but it can only be painted with the right preparation using a water based acrylic latex paint.

Membrane decks are the great idea in this climate especially a second story deck since the underside of the deck can be used as a covered patio or deck below.

Membrane decks must be maintained and cleaned regularly to allow them to be in the weather for many years.

Continued: Decks in Southeast Alaska There are other variations on membrane decks that incorporate concrete, concrete pavers, and other materials and all are good options for a deck on a second story.

I spoke of fastening systems above (face, hidden, and clip) but the fasteners themselves are as important as the fastening systems. Some fasteners are not compatible with pressure treated lumber and the chemicals in the lumber will eat or corrode many fasteners resulting in a failing deck. Stainless steel fasteners are recommended for pressure treated lumber. Stainless steel fasteners are also recommended for cedar because other fasteners tend to stain or discolor the cedar.

I have also used hot dipped galvanized and aluminum hidden fasteners to fasten cedar successfully. Composite decking has many composite-specific fasteners and though they’re compatible with composite, be sure to confirm the fasteners are compatible with the structure the deck will be fastened

to, usually pressure treated lumber.

The clip systems with the grooved composite decking I have found to work very well, although every joist should be clipped to eliminate squeaks and clicks.

The connection between the deck and the home is the most critical part of the system. Rain splashing up from the deck can greatly affect the structure of a home. The deck is usually fastened to a board hung off the h o m e whether it’s a first story deck or second story deck.

The board, also known as, a ledger should be held off the home with a ledger

bracket. A common bracket for this

behind the siding that the brackets fasten through to eliminate any water that may find its way behind the siding.

Decks require regular maintenance.

No matter what type of material you decide to use for your deck, whether a new deck or refurbishing an old, it will be important to develop a regular maintenance schedule. Clean your deck regularly, stain and finish it on a regular basis and you will have a deck to enjoy for many years to come.

application is the Stratton bracket which holds the ledger board ½ inch off the house to allow water to drain behind the deck. I still like to install an ice and water shield

None of this would have happened without the support of local organizations and of course the work of the many volunteers and crew of Alaskan Brewing Company and Eaglecrest.

Thank You so much for making the 2013 High Gravity Games a reality!

Our 3rd annual event was a smashing success, with dozens of participants competing at the highest levels of athletic achievement and goofiness! A great time was had by all, and we were able to help out a great organization.

Costumes consisted of giant albino salamanders, six-foot-tall pansies, and Xena - Warrior Princess to name a few!

New Homes Benefit More Than Just Buyers and Builders

T

he only people who benefit when a house is built are the family members who get to live there, and the builder who constructed and sold the home, right?

Wrong. The positive impact of new residential construction is far-reaching, bringing benefits to families, businesses and services throughout a community immediately, as well as for years to come.

According to economists at the National Association of Home Builders, the one-year estimated local impacts of building 100 single-family homes in a typical metro area include $21.1 million in local income, $2.2 million in taxes and other local government revenue, and 324 local jobs.

But what does that economic impact

mean in the real, day-to-day lives of community residents?

Just think about it. When a family moves to a community and buys a new house, they will likely shop at local stores to buy furniture and accessories to decorate the home. They will fill their car’s gas tank at local gas stations so they can get to the stores, have local mechanics work on the car when it breaks down or needs the oil changed, or buy a new car at a local dealer when it’s time to replace the old one.

The family may need to hire local companies for regular services to maintain their home, such as landscaping, house cleaning, pet sitters or yard upkeep.

The children will enroll in local

schools. This increases enrollment, meaning more teachers, janitors, cafeteria workers and other school support staff will need to be hired. Those kids will also join sports leagues and other activities, buy equipment and pay registration fees that provide stipends for referees and coaches.

tion, parks maintenance and road repairs.

All of this economic activity puts income into the pockets of local business owners and their families, who can then afford to go out and spend money themselves, which recycles even more money into the community’s economy.

Over the long term, as the families who move into new homes become part of the community, their positive impact continues. Families who buy a newly built home enjoy benefits including safety, amenities, energy efficiency and floor plans to fit a modern lifestyle. But the advantages of new homes extend far beyond the buyers and the builders—residential construction has a positive, direct impact on the local community for years.

The new family also pays local and state taxes. These tax revenues help pay for a wide range of government services, including school teachers, police departments, refuse collec-

From my table to yours, happy spring cleaning…

he April Showers are so refreshing… The wash away the last remnants of dirty snow from the yard and reveal hidden objects in the yard Contributed from the fall. It’s time

by Amber King for scrubbing cupboards and repotting plants, sorting piles of children’s clothing and digging through the freezer.

The extra daylight gives just enough light to invigorate a wealth of projects, and sunlight to see dust after a dark Alaskan winter.

I want to share a few of my favorite tips and recipes for cleaning and eating! I recently had shoulder surgery and wow, having your right arm out of commission for any length of time in a busy home can be a crazy thing.

While my family did amazing things while I was down and out I did find my plants extra thirsty and a few cleaning projects to get started on before summer hits (and you want to do nothing but escape to the beach or boat). Spring is a great time to start some indoor herbs for your windowsill. I always start with cleaning pots, painting and sealing terra cotta and repotting houseplants before outdoor plants get going.

Did you know there is an actual NASA based formula for how many plants per

square inch you should have for indoor air quality? Neither did I but now I’m in the know and will try my best to keep them happy and healthy!

Top Plants for Reducing Indoor Air Pollution • Bamboo Palm (Chamaedorea seifrizii) • Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema modestum) • Dracaena (Dracaena sp.). Especially RedEdged Dracaena (Dracaena marginata), Janet Craig (Dracaena deremensis ‘Janet Craig’), Warneckii (Dracaena deremensis ‘Warneckii’), and Corn Plant (Dracaena fragrans ‘massangeana’) • English Ivy (Hedera helix) • Ficus, or Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina) • Gerbera Daisy (Gerbera jamesonii) • Golden Pothos (Epipiremnum aureum) • Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum sp.)

• Philodendron (Philodendron sp), particularly Heartleaf (Philodendron scandens ‘oxycardium’), Selloum (Philodendron selloum), and Elephant Ear Philodendron (Philodendron domesticum) • Pot Mum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) • Snake Plant, or Mother-In-Law’s Tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Laurentii’)

• Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum) For best results, have at least one six-inch plant for every 100 square feet. Yes you read it correctly… I’d say a few rooms in the house might meet this level but even I don’t have this many houseplants. and ficus and ivy do nothing but perish a feverish death in my care… I’ve tried for years and now figure it’s better to spare us both the misery and disappointment. I like to round all my plants up before repotting and place in the shower for cleaning the leaves as well as giving the roots a nice soak before repotting.

For the house, I love using Charlie’s soap, it’s amazing. I bought a four gallon bucket of it from Amazon, it’s amazing in all types of washers, and at 17 cents a wash it gets out everything! And I mean everything, my clothes are softer, my towels pick up water easier and you can make stain spray with it in a spray bottle. It’s a must have for any parent or anyone looking for a scent free, hypoallergenic and earth friendly product.

I love using vinegar and thanks to the drug like tendencies of Pinterest decided to make my own citrus cleaner. Start by soaking citrus peels in vinegar for a few weeks in a mason jar, strain out any chunks or pith that might clog your sprayer and put straight into the spray bottle. It’s amazing on glass and for an extra streak free shine use newsW W W.

paper instead of a paper towels or rags. For extra fun jobs like the refrigerator, sprinkle in some baking soda and then let the kids make foam, they love this part.

So what do I eat when I’m scouring my kitchen cabinets with tooth brushes and asking my girls to fill bags with toys to give away?

I love quick, easy and healthy… I do power foods for the kids with bananas dipped in fresh peanut butter and wheat germ. You can also make sushi logs by rolling the banana in peanut butter, then breadcrumbs, wheat germ and coconut then slice, serve with chopsticks and jelly dipping sauce.

While were snacking for a little energy boost I love finding all the leftover unused condiments in my fridge and lonely vegetables… This calls for a , I really don’t make mine the same way twice… even when I’m adapting a recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks. Savoring the Day

by Judith Benn Hurley, it’s a great book mixing health, yoga, wellness and flavorful recipes. The great thing with Minestrone is as long as you have the basics.. the actual ingredients are subject to what you have on hand to begin with.
