5 Home Maintenance Projects to Tackle this Fall Fall is the perfect time to complete those pesky home maintenance projects left on your to do list. If you’ve been putting off these chores, you’re not alone, but it could cost you. In fact, a national survey from Erie Insurance shows many Americans are putting themselves and their homes at financial risk by delaying important home maintenance tasks.

Make sure you’re protected by focusing on these five areas: • The Roof. Twenty-three percent of homeowners admit they never inspect their roof or have it inspected unless there is a problem, according to the Erie Insurance survey. Unfortunately, replacing a roof is also one of the biggest expenses a homeowner may have if not maintained properly. Nationally, the average homeowner spends about $6,600

Six Ways to Bring Warmth into Your Home this Fall With the shorter days and cooler nights of fall can come the urge to hibernate. But first prepare yourself and your home for the season with these cozy and warm accents that will make time spent indoors cozier. 1. Incorporate Metallic Décor. While you’re breaking out the pumpkins, cornstalks and cornucopias, take a different approach this season and incorporate copper or brass accents. These metallic items will elevate décor, and the orange and yellow tones will complement the changing leaves outside. Try picking out a unique candelabra or vase or small decorative pieces to style the room. 2. Makeover the Fireplace. Fireplace season is on the horizon, so start thinking about new ways to make it the focal point of a room. Try painting it with a subtle whitewash for a look that will instantly

revive brick and brighten the space. Before you get started, prep the fireplace by scrubbing brick with a wire brush to remove any residue. Then, tape off any areas you don’t want painted with a quality painter’s tape like FrogTape brand painter’s tape, to prevent paint bleed and achieve professional-looking results. 3. Layer, Layer, Layer. Bare floors can make your home feel chilly. Warm up a space by layering area rugs on hardwood floors or to an already carpeted area. Not only will this add color and texture to a room, the extra cushioning will ensure feet avoid the cold, so you can keep your slippers tucked away. 4. Update the Guest Bedroom. With the holidays on the horizon, there’s no better time to give your guest bedroom a cozy update. Surprise overnight ➧ SIX WAYS Page R7

Fall is the perfect time for projects ➧ MAINTENANCE PROJECTS, from Page R1 to install a new roof, but prices can soar upwards of $20,000. Don’t be stuck with a hefty roof repair bill. Have it inspected to see if any shingles are damaged and need to be replaced. The fall season is the optimal time to do so, since roofing is best installed when temperatures are cooler. Plus, you’ll catch any problems before winter weather kicks in. • The Gutters. Make sure downspouts drain away from the foundation and are clear of debris. Clogged gutters can lead to major issues like uneven floors, cracks in walls and interior water damage. This type of claim, also known as seepage, is a maintenance issue and often not covered under your home insurance policy. To prevent any major issues, clean gutters at least twice a year in fall and spring. • The Dryer Exhaust Duct.

Does it take you two to three cycles to dry a load of laundry? If so, you may need to clean your dryer vent. One in five (21 percent) admit they never clean their clothes dryer ducts, unless they have a problem. But lint build-up can catch fire easily. Over 15,000 dryer fires occurred nationwide from 2010-2014, with the majority being ignited by dust, fiber and lint, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Avoid this disaster with a thorough cleaning at least once a year. • The Fireplace Chimney. Erie Insurance found nearly half (46 percent) of people who own a home with a fireplace never have their chimneys cleaned. However, uncleaned chimneys are a leading cause of structure fires, reports the National Fire Protection Association. So, get the chimney cleaned before the cold weather hits and you find yourself tossing logs in the hearth to keep the house toasty, and then have it

cleaned annually. • The Sump Pump and Pit. Sump pumps remove excess water from homes that would otherwise cause property damage. It’s important to clean a sump pump and its pit annually to keep basements dry and help prevent mold growth and water damage. Do this maintenance project in fall to help protect against heavy rainfalls and accumulated melting snow and ice of winter. For more information on how you can protect your home through the seasons, visit www. ErieInsurance.com. Now that you have your checklist, it’s time to roll up your sleeves while it’s still nice outside. Whether you’re a DIYer or prefer hiring a professional, crossing these projects off your to-do list will help ensure you’re safe and secure before temperatures drop.

Pressed for space? ➧ MAXIMIZING STORAGE, from Page R2 • Invest in a multi-purpose job box. Most people tend to have the wrong size toolbox for their needs. Consider the shape, capacity and compartments needed for your tools. Rolling options are great for work done only at home, while a job box may be better for those who do work elsewhere. If portability is important, look at lighter-weight options. New plastic job boxes, such as the Toter HardHead, combine the strength, durability and security of a large metal box with enhanced maneuverability.

• Build up, not out: Ceiling storage racks are an excellent way to use what would otherwise be dead space. Many racks are designed to fit directly above the area where an automatic door goes up and down. Peg boards for tools and stackable totes are also good choices.

Quick DIY Plumbing Tips for Parents of Teenagers Parenting teens can mean clogged drains, but not with the right tools on hand. No one ever said parenting teens would be easy, however you may not have considered the beating it can put on your household drains. With teens piling on experimental hair products and staying on-trend with long, flowing locks, bathrooms may see hours of hair washing, brushing and styling each week -- meaning feet of discarded hair making its way into drains, along with sticky hairsprays and gels. Before you know it, the sink has stopped draining and there is a pool of standing water in the shower. Does all this sound familiar? Lifestyle bloggers Krissy Higgens and Shelby Barone, both moms of teenagers, know the reality of the plumbing upkeep that can sometimes be required. Here are a few insights for keeping drains clear, clean and in working order.

and that gave me the peace of mind in knowing that the product wouldn’t harm our pipes.” Roto-Rooter has a line of products specifically designed to help tackle this task quickly and affordably. The formula packed into Roto-Rooter’s Clog Removers has the right viscosity to penetrate and soak into a clog, breaking it down from all sides and leaving drains clear in a few minutes. Safe on all pipes and septic systems, it works to prevent future issues as well as solve immediate plumbing emergencies. “I pretty much keep Roto-Rooter in stock in my bathroom closet so that it’s always on hand when we need it. Living in an older house makes having this in house even more important,” says Higgens, author of All in a Day’s Work blog.

With some simple tools, you can encourage new styles, lengths and trends without a second thought about how your drains might handle all of the experimentation.

• Be sure your sink and shower drains have mesh screens to catch at least some of the hair before it goes down the drain. Get a little help, and ask teens to clean screens after showering and styling their hair. If it’s been several months since your teenagers have made their beds or you’ve seen the floor of their rooms, you know that this may not actually get done daily, however it’s a good place to start. • Consider tried-and-true methods. “My parents used Roto-Rooter to clear drains when I was a teenager, and I knew that if it worked for them in the ’80s, it would work for me now,” says Barone, author of the OC Mom Blog. “It is safe on all drains,

• You can also help maintain clear drains by flushing them with hot water after showering and styling. This is an easy task that teens can remember to do on a daily basis. To learn more about Roto-Rooter products, visit rotorooter-products.com. There’s no need to tell teens to change their style or routine! With some simple tools, you can encourage new styles, lengths and trends without a second thought about how your drains might handle all of the experimentation.

• Choose multipurpose storage: Needs can change over time, so invest in storage that can be used for a variety of items in multiple ways. For example, large, durable totes can hold lawn gear, tools or camping equipment. • Think mobility: Being able to move containers within the garage is important. However, the ability to move them into your vehicle and hit the road quickly also makes life a lot easier. According to Jeniffer Coates, director of product development and warranty for Toter, “Heavy metal containers are difficult to move, and cheap plastic bins are often too flimsy to stand up to long-term or outdoor use. Consumers will get the most mileage from durable, impact-resistant plastic containers.” These can cost a bit more upfront, but will stand the test of time. • Protect items: Moisture and pests cause problems in even the cleanest garage. Look for durable storage containers with tight-fitting, critter-resistant lids. • Categorize: Assign and color-code dedicated areas for each type of item -- tools, decorations, lawn equipment, etc. -- to avoid the hassle of searching. • Allow room to grow. While it can be tempting to stuff every square inch, try to leave room for future additions. To ensure everything deserves the space it’s occupying, do a yearly purge of unneeded or unused items. For more information on finding the right storage solutions for your needs, visit toter.com/storage-solutions. Keeping the garage in order is a necessary evil, but with a solid game plan and the right equipment, it’s easier than you think. (StatePoint)

Market is HOT! ➧ REAL ESTATE MARKET, from Page R1 Taking a closer look at the Queen Anne/Magnolia market in the month of August indicates the depth of demand. Year-overyear sales were up 37% in August 2017 despite a 21.9% decrease in active inventory. A decrease in supply with sustained demand contributed to an increase in the average price per square foot, up from $434 in August 2016 to $471 in the same month this year. Though homes are spending slightly more time on the market, up to 25 days from 22 last year, average sales prices increased from $1,029,000 in August 2016 to $1,100,000 in 2017. Preliminary September numbers also indicate a sustained heat within the market despite entering the fall sales season, as the NWMLS reported a record-setting sale of a home in the Queen Anne neighborhood for $5.25 million. Though private sales in the neighborhood have exceeded this sales price in the past, this is the first public sale of this magnitude reported in Queen Anne.

Prepare for colder weather now ➧ SIX WAYS, from Page R1 guests by painting the room a moody green or blue that is on trend and sets a relaxing tone. Don’t forget to incorporate little touches like books or a plant on the nightstand to make them feel at home. 5. Update Window Coverings. Heavy drapes keep out drafts and make a room feel luxurious. Switch out summer sheers for curtains with a heavier weight, or layer drapes for an elegant look. 6. Don’t Underestimate the Power of White Paint. Vibrant doesn’t always have to mean using bold colors. Make a space feel brand new again by repainting wood trim a crisp white color. It may seem like a tedious task, but with a little effort, you can completely transform a room. Start by filling in any imperfections, sanding and cleaning the surfaces to be painted. Then, you’ll want to tape off the wall next to the trim so your handiwork looks like that of a professional. For this job you’ll want a quality product like FrogTape painter’s tape, treated with patented PaintBlock Technology, to help ensure your work looks professional and allows you to achieve the sharpest paint lines possible. When painting trim, opt for a semi-gloss paint to make elements stand out. For different project inspirations, visit FrogTape.com.

Hearty Fall Food and Wine Ideas When brisk autumn weather makes you wish for rich hearty meals, let New Zealand be the source of your culinary inspiration. The country’s dishes make for delicious fall feasting. Think earthy meats like lamb and rich roasted vegetables, paired with juicy medium-bodied red wines. Thanks to the development of six major grape growing regions with breathtaking landscapes, New Zealand has become a top destination for food and wine enthusiasts. While a trip halfway around the world may not be in the cards for you this fall, you can bring the classic flavors of New Zealand to your table by starting with a bottle from one of the country’s top wineries. Craggy Range Winery, a family-owned operation, creates New World wines with Old World style. The Te Muna Road Pinot Noir 2014 (SRP $44.99), a medium-bodied selection, is an enjoyable accompaniment at a fall gathering. Its rich red fruit, fine tannins and good acidity creates a savory, dry finish on the palate and pairs nicely with the many robust flavors of the season.

For an appetizing pairing, consider serving Pinot Noir alongside a classic recipe from the Terrôir Restaurant at Craggy Range Winery below:

Roast lamb shoulder with salsa verde and roasted carrots. The wine’s bright red fruit will bring out the lamb’s darker, earthier notes for a delicious meal.

Ingredients: • 1 boned lamb shoulder, rolled and tied. • 1 lg. onion (quartered) • 1 carrot (quartered) • 4 cups chicken stock For the brine: • 8 cups of water • 1/2 cup salt • 2 tbsp. brown sugar • 3 bay leafs • 1/2 onion, sliced • 1/2 packet pickling spices For the Salsa Verde: • 1/2 cup Italian parsley • 1/2 cup mint • 1/4 cup cornichon pickles • 2 tbsp. capers • 1/2 cup olive oil • 2 lemons - juice and zest

Brine Instructions: • 24 hours in advance: Add all the ingredients into a pot. Bring to a simmer at medium heat until all salt has dissolved. Allow brine to cool completely. Place the lamb in the cool brine, cover and leave for 24 hours. Drain the brine and pat dry. Instructions: • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. • Preheat a large skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the lamb. Brown the lamb all over then remove from heat. • On a roasting tray, add carrot and onion. Then add 4 cups of hot chicken stock. • Place the lamb on top and then put in the oven to cook for 3 hours. • Remove lamb from the liquid, rest for 25 minutes. In the meantime, strain and skim the stock and reduce by 2/3rds. • For the salsa verde, blitz all ingredients in the food processor until smooth. • Slice the lamb and garnish with roasted baby carrots, salsa verde and some stock. Serve with a glass of Te Muna Road Pinot Noir. (StatePoint)
