hen it’s sunny in Juneau, as much as it was throughout the month of June, it’s hard to remember how much time we spend inside our homes on those not so sunny days. The air quality of our home is important. I’ve talked about indoor air quality in the past, but recently I’ve received questions regarding jobsite containment during a remodel or renovation project.

What is jobsite containment?

When a contractor is in your home completing a remodeling project, a barrier should be placed between the work area and the rest of the home. It is intended to keep jobsite dust and debris out of the non-work space, and to give h o m e ow n e r s some level o f

negligible photochemical reactivity.” What?

Well, after some more research VOCs are compounds or chemicals that evaporate into the air at room temperature, leaving the paint, stain, or finish product on the material. These chemicals, when released into the air, are highly hazardous to our health when we breathe them.

That “new cabinet” smell is often just chemicals off gassing into our lungs.

After being exposed to these chemicals in the last 18 years of construction has left me sensitive to a lot chemicals I know nothing about. I now have to wear the proper personal protective equipment when dealing with these items, even if I’m using a “greener product” with low Volatile Organic Compounds.

When I am working in contained areas I must wear personal protective equipment to minimize my exposure. A dust mask rated to N95 which means it filters 95% of the airborne particles is about the minimum protection one should wear in the contained area. I little interesting fact that I ran across about the human lung is that the airway surface area is approximately 750 square feet. The human body has its ways to filter out natural particulates but I am pretty certain that the body can’t protect itself from the trillions of particulates in

a construction area. Several years ago, I called in an environmental hygienist to do a mold spore count in a highly contaminated apartment that had visible mold everywhere. Normally we would call the environmental hygienist for a post remediation mold test but in this case I was curious. The mold spore count for 1 liter of air in the undisturbed apartment was over 1 million spores. Believe me, we wore personal protection equipment and built a containment that would measure up to Steven Spielberg’s E.T.!

where the casing was. Cut a piece of plastic larger than the door opening and wider than the tape applied around the door. Tape the plastic sheeting to the masking tape with the vinyl tape to seal off the doorway.

I leave some slack in the plastic sheathing so it is not tight to allow passage after the zipper is applied. Apply the zipper to the plastic sheeting and cut the plastic when the zipper is unzipped.

Zip the containment back up and now you have a perfectly accessible containment to the renovation or remodeled area. Make sure that all other areas are sealed so that no contaminates will enter the living space.

During times of high dust production in the remodeled area, place a simple fan directed out the window to create a negative pressure inside the work zone and the construction dust will not push to the living spaces of the home. Poles can be purchased to hold up

“These chemicals, when released into the air, are highly hazardous to our health when we breathe them”

How do you create a good containment for a remodel or renovation in your home? All it takes is some tape (vinyl and masking tape), 4 mil plastic sheeting, a fan, and a zipper (available at paint stores). Sometimes adjustable poles can be pretty handy if there is not a defined area such as a doorway to contain. If a doorway is separating the area being renovated or remodeled I will apply a masking tape around the doorway at about 3 inches to 4 inches in width and even apply it to the floor. The tape is applied to the casing or

Corry Isabell

A contractor should take steps to contain the jobsite from homeowners. Often I think people are mistaken in thinking that by not creating containment or barriers in a home or workplace, they are saving time and money. But is it professional to leave a mess that people throughout the home will be cleaning up for days and weeks?

Containments will help to keep everyone in tiptop health to continue to enjoy the nice summer days will still have ahead of us in Juneau.

Living in a condominium is true community living and the rules are there to make sure that everyone feels safe and gets along.

LIFESTYLE Living in a condo is very much a lifestyle choice and it’s not all about the money.

Condos are popular for many reasons, not the least of which is their low-maintenance and their convenience. Some condos have amenities such as pools and fitness centers or a shared yard area. In urban areas condos are an attractive choice for busier people who want to be located within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Retirees who are more interested in socializing than keeping up on the exterior landscape and building maintenance will appreciate the freedom that comes with community living. Condos also make owning a vacation home more affordable.

That being said, owners don’t have total control over building remodels and can’t make changes without the consent of the other owners. Condos are typically more compact than a house and may be lacking

in space which might not be accommodating to large families. Also, there is much less privacy in a condo, as there might not be anything but a wall between units.

When all is said and done, condos fulfill a very important spot in the housing market. They offer an affordable option for first time homebuyers, they offer otherwise unattainable access to amenities, and they offer a maintenance-free, easier lifestyle to those who have no interest in home upkeep. While they are no better or worse than any other type of dwelling, a condominium might be the home-seekers perfect choice.

HOME - WHERE YOUR C

ommonly seen as a wall quote, there is some truth to the statement. I think the opposite is true as well: Home – it tells your story….. If you are at all interested in history - the people, places and events that shared your piece of earth, only in another slice of time, then you know exactly what I mean.

We bought our home in Juneau just a few years ago. It was not brand new construction. It had a history. A coast guard family was moving out, and they had bought it from another family who had of course bought it from yet another family. This house has a lineage of families, and while I’ve only begun to discover some of its stories….. oh if these walls could talk! Well, actually, they do. Don’t worry;

STORY BEGINS……

no ghosts whispering in the night (yet).

Before we painted, on the wall next to the bathroom were the faded pencil and pen lines marking the ever changing heights, name and ages of children who had grown up in this house.

I had already painted a good portion of the walls before I found this tribute to the lives the house once shared or I might not have painted over it. To those of you less

s e n t i m e n ta l , I’m sure that seems crazy. I paused and had to take a moment to share my find with someone else. Acknowledging with some sadness, that someday, as I marked my own children’s g r o w t h (maybe in that same place) someone after me would also erase their precious mile markers with paint as I was about to do.

Other stories I’ve had a good laugh over. One had almost faded

completely away on its own and I might not have discovered it, had a former owner not asked me if their “story” was still there. At some point the family who had the home prior to the one we purchased it from decided one of the toilets just had too much condensation, so her father lined the inside with styrofoam to help regulate the temperature. Before he did though, he took a black permanent marker and drew a caricature of stick figures to represent each member of the family. Years and years of flushing had left only the faintest remnant of his original artwork.

Not all stories this house has told have been touching or funny….

Like the stench that we started noticing soon after we moved in.

That story included dogs who had

Patriotic Currant Cake

Recipe

Ingredients ½ lb butter, organic 1 cup sugar, organic 2 cups flour ¼ tsp cream of tarter ¼ tsp salt ¼ tsp mace (or nutmeg) 4 eggs 2 tablespoons Brandy ½ tsp vanilla 3 cups red currants 1 cup black currants (or blueberries) 2 tsp lemon zest ¼ c powdered sugar (try making your own in the blender)

Currants are rich in antioxidants, manganese, potassium, dietary fiber and vitamin C. I love them in jellies and jams, I’m known for going to great lengths to get currants, (and other berries) Warren Cove, on Warren Island on the Central Southeast Coast has some amazing wild currant bushes and I still have one coveted jar of black fruit jam that I made many, many years ago while salmon tendering in the area. If there was a berry stop that summer, along would come a

Preheat oven to 350, cream butter till light in color add sugar and beat on medium high speed for at least three minutes, add, mace, brandy, salt and vanilla mix a few extra minutes while you sift the dry ingredients together. Add slowly in alternates the egg mixture and flour mix till batter forms. Pour into a greased and floured bunt or tube pan I like to make patterns with the different berries in the mix, so have fun with it. Bake for 60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Dust with powdered sugar and lemon zest.

If it’s happening in your home town, you’ll hear about it on public radio.

The businesses and organizations that use public broadcasting are leaders in their field and more of them are realizing the value of using public broadcasting.

Public radio in Southeast Alaska covers the larger communities, to remote villages, to the fishing grounds. “Listeners” tune in everyday to hear breaking news, stories about the people who live here, all kinds of music and the funniest game shows, the most creative shows and talk shows so compelling you may sit in your car long after you’ve arrived home.
