He was a member of B.P.O.Elks #1381 in Sturgis and enjoyed playing golf, woodworking, coaching baseball and “hanging” with his many friends. Jerry had hobbies and interests but what he truly appreciated was time spent with his family, especially following his children’s high school and college sports careers, and later spending as much time as possible with his grandchildren he so dearly loved. He is survived by his loving and dedicated wife of 42 years: Sandi; one daughter: Stacey (Ma�hew) Keim of Stevensville; one son: Jason (Mackenzie) Watson of Houston, Texas; ﬁve grandchildren: Parker, Bentley, Jackson, Cruz and Kennedy; one sister: Sandy (Jim) Risner of Coldwater and several nieces and nephews. A celebration service of Jerry Watson’s life was held Thursday at the Rosenberg Chapel of Hackman Family Funeral Homes, in Sturgis. A graveside commi�al followed the service at Lakeview Cemetery in Quincy. The family suggests those wishing to make a memorial donation in Jerry’s memory consider Trojan Junior Baseball, 1208 Parkside Circle, Sturgis, MI 49091. The obituary is also at www. hackmanfamilyfuneralhomes. com where personal messages of support may be le� for the family.

â&#x20AC;˘ The Buy Nearby campaign is an ongoing, year-round, feel-good campaign intended to create excitement about the great shopping in Michigan and the advantages of supporting retailers and communities in Michigan. The campaign is designed to get everyone excited about the great places and great shops in Michigan and get shoppers committed to buying in Michigan. â&#x20AC;˘ The campaign runs throughout the year and is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in October as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get Caught Blue-Handedâ&#x20AC;? Day, which reflects the blue Buy Nearby logo (incorporating the blue of Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lakes and sky) and is a play on the expression â&#x20AC;&#x153;get caught red-handed.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ In addition to promoting the fun of shopping at Michigan retail businesses, the Buy Nearby campaign is designed to be an economic driver for the state. â&#x20AC;˘ About half of every dollar spent in a Michigan store goes back into the local and Michigan economies. (Source: 2004 Andersonville Study of Retail Economics.) â&#x20AC;˘ More than 866,000 Michigan jobs are directly dependent on retail sales. (Source: PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, The Economic Impact of the U.S. Retail Industry, August 2011.) â&#x20AC;˘ If Michigan consumers chose to support businesses in Michigan by always buying nearby rather than from â&#x20AC;&#x153;remote sellers,â&#x20AC;? Michigan in 2015 would

gain more than 74,639 additional jobs and $9 billion in additional economic activity, including $2.5 billion in additional wages the new workers would earn. (Source: Anderson Economic Group, Economic Costs of Untaxed Remote Sales and Potential Benefits of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buy Nearby,â&#x20AC;? July 2014.) â&#x20AC;˘ If Michigan consumers switched only one in 10 of their purchases from outof-state merchants to Michigan businesses, Michigan still would gain more than $900 million in increased economic activity and 7,463 new jobs. Switching one in five purchases would mean more than $1.8 billion in increased economic activity and nearly 15,000 new jobs. (Source: Anderson Economic Group, Economic Costs of Untaxed Remote Sales and Potential Benefits of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buy Nearby.â&#x20AC;?) â&#x20AC;˘ More than 18 percent of Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total economic activity (GDP) comes from the retail sector and 17 percent of Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labor income comes from retail jobs. (Source: PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, The Economic Impact of the U.S. Retail Industry, August 2011.) â&#x20AC;˘ Shoppers and retailers are encouraged to use social media to post photos and comments on Get Caught BlueHanded Day, as well as throughout the year, about their great experiences when they Buy Nearby. â&#x20AC;˘ The Buy Nearby campaign was created by the Michigan Retailers Association and launched in April 2013. The campaign is sponsored by DTE Energy. Supporting sponsors include: Pure Michigan/Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Discover, AT&T and Retailers Insurance Company. Contributions to the campaign can be made on the Buy Nearby website at www.

add more? Could you light up a dark corner with a floor lamp or add more task lighting with a table lamp behind the sofa? If you’ve got the budget, you might want to replace all old light fixtures. At the very least you should replace the light bulbs with brighter, more efficient ones. Does the room have windows? Use them. Throw open the blinds or drapes and give the windows a good cleaning to let in as much natural light as possible. You might also want to look into adding some skylights to the room. LET THERE BE SPACE Nothing can make a room feel darker and more closed in than clu�er. Take stock of the contents of the room. Is there anything you no longer need or want? Get rid of it! Have a

yard sale or make a donation. Pay particular a�ention to the furniture in the room. The more pieces in the room, the tighter it will feel. Donate or sell what you don’t need and give the room space to breathe. LET THERE BE COLOR You may have a light color on the walls, but what about elsewhere? Caramel-colored sofas and chairs set against caramel-colored walls will make the room look dark and drab. While replacing the furniture might not be in your budget, adding some colorful accessories should not cost you too much. You can shop for inexpensive accessories or pull them from other parts of

your home. Sheets make great slipcovers and a vase of flowers from the yard will really perk up the fireplace mantel. Add some colorful throw pillows, books and prints, and a rug underfoot, and you might be surprised by how much lighter the room feels. LET THERE BE PERSONALITY Does the room speak to you and your tastes? Could someone walk into the room and learn something about you? No? Time to change that. Think about what you love most and find a way to incorporate it into the room. Do you love to travel? Display some vacation mementos or photos.

Do you love animals? Bring in some of your favorite animal photos or statues. Give the room some personality, and it will feel brighter. LET THERE BE MUSIC Music can dramatically change the feel of a room and help you see it in a diﬀerent light. Bring in a radio or stereo and turn it on o�en. Making a room feel brighter doesn’t always require a complete remodel. The simplest of changes can make a world of diﬀerence. Give these suggestions a try and see what happens. That once dark, unappealing room might just become your favorite place to be.

How to identify septic tank problems

DON’T WAIT UNTIL IT’S Outdoor TOO LATE... Furnace Store ONLY 9 UNITS LEFT!

When septic systems are working properly, homeowners seldom give them any thought. However, if there is a problem with a septic system, things can get messy and expensive very quickly. The key to keeping septic systems running smoothly is prevention. Septic systems are installed in homes that do not have direct access to municipal sewer lines. Septic systems are typically found in rural homes or in towns that may not have the resources for extensive sewer piping. While a properly designed septic system can be troublefree, maintenance is still essential. Because septic systems tend to be out of sight and out of mind, homeowners can forget about them. But ignoring your septic system can cause problems in the future. How does a septic system work? Most septic systems have two main components: where the waste enters from the house and breaks down and a filtering system where the waste water exits into the ground. Waste travels from toilets and sinks to the septic tank, where natural bacteria help break down the waste. Then the remaining water flows out through a filter into the surrounding ground.

overflow or back-up into the home. Septic tanks need to be pumped out at regular intervals. A professional inspection is also necessary. Flushing or pu�ing difficult-to-degrade items into the system also can cause problems. Be sure to heed the following: • Do not flush non-biodegradable items down the toilet or sink drains. Co�on balls or plastic can clog the system. • Do not pour cooking oil or grease down the sink drain. • Limit the amount of food particles that enter the system. • Set up a regular maintenance schedule to keep the system working. • Advise guests as to what is and is not allowed to go down the drain. Those without septic systems may be unaware.

Identifying problems Septic system problems occur when waste doesn’t properly break down, leading to system backups.At the least, you may notice odors coming from the drains or toilets in your home. Or you may realize that sinks aren’t draining properly or toilets are not flushing with the right amount of power. At the worst, toilets and the septic tank itself may overflow. Outdoors you could may notice soggy grass around the septic drain. Grass in one part of the leach field area may even be greener than in other areas.

Kitchen update, reface or replace?

By T R E S A E R I C KS O N Kitchens are often the heart of a home. They’re the place where people gather together to enjoy each other’s company as they prepare food, pay bills or do other chores. Kitchens work overtime and can take a real beating over the years, especially the cabinets. While some homeowners choose to reface their cabinets, others choose to replace them entirely. There are pros and cons to each, of course, but either way, the heart of the home will get a much-needed facelift. Refacing cabinets is generally the less expensive option of the two. With refacing, cabinet boxes are left in place while the exposed frames are refaced with plastic veneer or wood and new cabinet doors and drawers or drawer fronts are installed. For an additional cost, other accessories may be incorporated, such as pull-out shelves, a lazy Susan, ﬂip-out drawer fronts, a

wine rack or a pull-out trash bin. Some refacers will even replace countertops, sinks and ﬂooring. Need a cabinet above the refrigerator? No problem. Your refacer can custom-build one for an additional fee. Refacing works best on cabinets that are in good condition but could use some updating. The average cost for a job runs from $5,000 to $8,000. Replacing is just what it sounds like. All of the old kitchen cabinets are removed and new ones are installed. This option is much more time consuming, but if your cabinets are in terrible shape or you are looking to create a be�er layout or add storage, new cabinets are your best bet. But, be prepared to shell out some money. New cabinets can cost anywhere from $5,000 on up. Add in the cost of installation and extras like molding, and you can see why replacement is the more expensive option. Both options have their pros and cons. Refacing can

generally be done in a week or less, whereas installing new cabinets can take weeks. New cabinets mean new everything inside and out, whereas with refaced cabinets, you get just new doors, drawers and hardware. If your cabinets are older, that could be a plus as many cabinets built 20 or 30 years ago are of be�er quality than some of the cabinets on the market today. Refacing will do nothing for cabinets that are in poor condition or misaligned due to sagging ﬂoors. To determine the best option for you, consult with some reputable contractors. They can tell you whether your cabinets are in good enough condition to reface and advise you as to the best route to take. If you are looking for more counter space, for example, new cabinets may be the way to go. Budget is always a factor. How much do you have to spend? Generally, it costs twice as much to replace cabinets as it does to reface them. Should you purchase stock cabinets or install them yourself, however, you may be able to save enough to aﬀord new cabinets. Look around and do your homework. The right cabinets, new or updated, can enhance the feel of any kitchen. Review the options carefully and make the right choice for you. Reface or replace, you’re sure to end up with a kitchen your friends and family will enjoy hanging out in.

Drop the crystals into the paint, and to prevent them from se�ling to the bo�om of the can, use a drill with a mixing a�achment. Then, just paint the room as you would normally and prepare for a sparkling outcome. Unlike the crystals, gli�er glaze is a two-step process. First, you need to paint the walls. Then, you may apply the glaze. Several brands and shades are available. Directions for use will vary from product to product, but most will require you to apply the glaze on top of a dry base coat.

2015 Fall Home Improvement

Plant now for a beautiful garden now and in the future By MELINDA MYERS Don’t pack away that shovel and trowel. Fall is a great time to plant a few new additions in the landscape. Here are just a few ideas for adding immediate and long term beauty to your garden. - Add cool season annuals like pansies, snapdragons, ornamental kale and stocks to brighten the fall garden. Those in milder regions will enjoy them throughout the winter. Consider adding cold hardy pansies. They provide color in the fall garden, survive most

winters, and are back blooming in the spring just as the snow melts. - Fall is also a good time to plant perennials, trees and shrubs. The soil is warm and the air cooler, so the plants are less stressed and establish more quickly. Select plants suited to the growing conditions and be sure to give them plenty of room to reach their mature size. Plant trees so the root ﬂare, the place where the roots curve away from the trunk, is even with the soil surface. Dig a hole, the same depth as the

Those gardening in the far south and along the gulf coast can purchase pre-cooled bulbs to compensate for the warm winters. Or the chilling can be done at home by storing the bulbs in a 35 to 45 degree location for at least 14 weeks before planting. Those tired of ba�ling the animals may want to plant resistant bulbs such as daffodils, hyacinths, Fritillaria, alliums, Camassia, glory-of-the snow, snow drops, squills, and grape hyacinths. You may find it is easier to avoid the problem than ba�le the animals with repellents and scare tactics. - Plant a few short season vegetables in your garden for fresh-from-the garden flavor this fall. Simply count the days from planting to the average first fall frost to determine how many growing days are left in your area. Select vegetables that will mature and can be harvested in that amount of time. Leaf le�uce, spinach, mustard greens, radishes and carrots are fast growing, cool weather tolerant vegetables that make great additions to the fall garden and your dinner plate.

Homeowners looking to prevent their homes from becoming a meal or nesting site for potentially harmful insects may know to keep watch for termites during the year. But termites aren’t the only insects that can damage a home. There are a few other pests that can bore through the wood of homes and structures, potentially causing considerable damage. People can familiarize themselves with these other wood-boring bugs and recognize the signs

of infestation. • Carpenter ants: These insects get their name because they prefer to nest above ground in wooden structures. Unlike their smaller ant cousins, who make intricate colony systems underground, larger carpenter ants prefer tree stumps, lumber, subﬂoors, or even roofs. They don’t use the wood for food, and can establish residence in just about any solid housing material, including rigid foam insulation.

Plant daffodils and other spring flowering bulbs in the fall for extra color next spring. Get these vegetables off to a good start with a side dressing of low nitrogen fertilizer. Incorporate it into the soil prior to planting or sprinkle a narrow band along the row of plants. This organic nitrogen will provide needed nutrients without damaging the tender seedlings. - Extend the harvest season with the help of floating row covers. These fabrics allow air, light and water through while trapping the heat around the plants. No construction is needed; just loosely cover the

plants with the fabric, secure the edges with pipes, boards or landscape staples and let the plants provide the support. So be sure to get a jump on next spring’s garden season with a bit of fall planting now.

rootball, and two to five times wider. Roughen the sides of the hole and backfill with the existing soil. Water thoroughly and spread a two to three inch layer of mulch over the soil surface, keeping the mulch away from the tree trunk. Follow a similar planting procedure for shrubs. Plant these so the crown, the place where the stems meet the roots, is even with the soil surface. And be sure to keep the mulch away from the stems. - Plant daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and other bulbs in fall for extra color next spring. Set the bulbs at a depth of two to three times their height deep. Then cover them with soil and sprinkle on a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer, like Milorganite (milorganite.com). This organic nitrogen fertilizer promotes rooting without stimulating fall growth subject to winter kill. Start planting spring flowering bulbs after the nigh�ime temperatures hover between 40 and 50 degrees. Be patient – waiting until the soil cools reduces the risk of early sprouting that often occurs during a warm fall.

• Powderpost beetles: Though termites might have the most name recognition, according to LivingWithBugs. com, powderpost beetles are potentially more destructive to seasoned wood. Wood boring powderpost beetles spend most of their lives as larvae (woodworms) in wood, where they tunnel in search of starch and other nutrients they need. They can cause all sorts of structural issues if they damage beams and other major components to homes.

• Carpenter bees: These large bees resemble bumblebees, except they have a shiny black abdomen instead of a furry one. Carpenter bees bore symmetrical holes in exposed wood, where they lay eggs and in which larvae grow. Although the bees’ holes are superﬁcial and rarely cause much damage, birds in search of larvae for food, such as woodpeckers, may peck at wood containing the larvae and cause more signiﬁcant damage.

Home furniture fundamentals

By TRESA ERICKSON New ﬂooring, paint, linens and accessories will do wonders to perk up a tired space, but if you are short on time and money, you might want to try a simpler ﬁx: rearranging the furniture. One of the easiest and quickest ways to spruce up any room is to rearrange the furniture. Move around some pieces, swap out some pieces, and voila, you have a new look for just a few hours of work. Of course, not any old arrangement will do. Here are some tips to ensure you create a good arrangement for the room. Consider the purpose of the room. If you are creating a conversation space, don’t center everything on the TV. Allow an area for TV view-

ing and an area for conversation. Looking to create a study space? Relocate distractions like TVs and phones, set up a table or desk, and add a comfy chair for reading. Pay a�ention to scale. Too tall or too small of a piece can throw oﬀ the feel of the room. Arrange pieces so they complement each other in scale. Use larger side tables with larger sofas and chairs, for example. Don’t place Aunt Millie’s small, ornate footstool in front of a large, overstuﬀed chair and expect it to work well. The chair will dwarf it. Place it elsewhere, perhaps in front of that Victorian se�ee you so love. Allow space to move. Too much furniture crammed together and lined up against the walls can make a room

feel small. Remove pieces you don’t need, pull some pieces toward the center of the room and spread out everything else. Moving the sofa a couple feet from the wall and allowing space to walk around it can make a room feel more spacious. If you are working with a rather large room, consider creating areas within it, such as a workspace in one corner of the room and an entertaining space in another. Light up the room. Don’t rely on one overhead light to do all of the work. Mix it up with various ﬂoor and table lamps, pendants and sconces spread around the room. Light up dark corners with ﬂoor lamps and highlight artwork with sconces. Hang a pendant above the dining table and set up a table lamp behind the

Many people find that space around a home is a precious commodity after years spent accumulating different things. The basement, attic and garage are commonly used to store items that won’t fit anywhere else. Though spring cleaning is a great way to cut down on clu�er, a storage shed makes a great place to put those items you can’t bear to discard. Sheds come in many shapes and sizes. Ready-made sheds can be erected on your property immediately, and some retailers will do so for an additional fee. The cost of a shed can vary greatly, from simple plastic sheds that cost roughly $100 to more customized sheds that cost $1,000 or more. After looking at many storage sheds from builders or prefabricated models, you may want to build one yourself. This way you can be sure it is customized to fit your yard and is the right color and style and made of secure and durable materials. While an adventurous project, shed building is typically within the skill set of the average homeowner. Also, a shed

can be built in a weekend or two, depending on how much time you can devote to the project. Here’s how to get started. • Consult with your town, city, province, or municipality to ﬁnd out the zoning laws regarding sheds. You may need a building permit if the shed will feature a permanent foundation or is larger than a certain size. Storage sheds greater than 120 square feet generally require a permit. There also may be rules regarding how far away the shed must be from the property line or even the height of the structure. It pays to know this information in advance so you don’t run into legal trouble after the project has begun. • Find a style of shed that you would like to emulate. Drive around to diﬀerent shed retailers or big box home improvement stores and peruse the stock. Choose the features you like and mark them down. Take photos of the ones you really like. • Research available plans. You can purchase shed plans or have an architect draw them up, but that may be costly.

There are also free shed plans online, some of which provide a list of necessary supplies. • Order your supplies and organize everything. A building materials center or a home improvement store may deliver all of your materials right to your home, saving you the hassle of going back and forth to get things piece by piece. Once they are delivered, sort through everything and mark whether the material is for the ﬂoor, walls or roof. If the shed will not be rooted to the ground but kept on skids or blocks, you will likely want to have some sort of base material, like rocks or gravel underneath to deter animals from making a home under the shed. • Enlist the help of a friend and get building. Once you get into a groove, you may ﬁnd that the shed building comes easy to you. But the work will go more quickly if you have a friend available to help you hold materials in place while you secure them. Building a shed can be a rewarding do-it-yourself project that saves you money and frees up space in your home.

sofa. Give the room more ambiance with various lighting sources. Consider drapes. When hung appropriately, drapes can add drama to a room and make it feel complete. Want to create the illusion of a higher ceiling? Hang the drapes from ceiling to floor. Want to create the illusion of larger windows? Hang the drapes beyond the casement ends of windows. Don’t buck tradition. While it is fine to mix things up a bit, you don’t want to go overboard and create too unique of a look. Take your dining room table, for example. If you have a chandelier in the center of the room, your table should go under it. Place it where it was meant to be and will look best, and if you can’t, consider relocating the light above. Add a longer chain to the chandelier and swing it over the table. The same principle applies to beds and dressers. You can move sofas and chairs away from walls, but beds and dressers are best left against walls. Hang artwork with care. Use your photos and prints to ground furniture. Hang a print above your sofa, but be careful it is not too high. The point of the artwork is to draw the eye to the arrangement not away from it. To ensure accurate placement, tape up some templates before hanging your artwork. This will save you time and prevent you from having to fill a lot of holes in

your wall. These are just some fundamentals to follow when rearranging furniture. You are the best judge, of course, and keep in mind it may take sev-

eral rounds of moving around furniture before you come up with an arrangement that works. Furniture arrangement truly is a process of trial and error.

Fire Up the Grill with Barbecue Meatball Skewers (Family Features) There’s nothing be�er than firing up the grill and gathering in the backyard with family and friends. While everyone expects to see burgers, dogs and steaks, you can show your guests you’re a true barbecue master by serving up smoky, grilled appetizers fresh off the grill. Try a new fan favorite of the season - Barbecue Meatball Skewers with Mozzarella- courtesy of Chris Lilly, world champion pitmaster. This recipe for deliciously gooey grilled meatball skewers is a tasty way to kick the party off right. The key is a li�le trick all pitmasters know: the two-zone fire. Simply put, the two-zone fire splits the grill in half. Pile hot charcoal on one half for direct, high-heat cooking and searing, while leaving the other side free of charcoal for lower-temperature cooking of dishes, such as appetizers and sides. Pitmasters and novice grillers alike choose Kingsford(r) charcoal to keep their grills burning bright. These briquets light faster and burn ho�er than other fuel

sources. Follow these tips for creating the perfect two-zone charcoal fire: 1. Light your coals using a chimney starter or lighter fluid. For high heat, use a full chimney of charcoal or light a pile of about 100 brique�es. 2. Pour out your hot coals on one side or use a spatula or tongs to carefully move all the coals to cover 50 percent of the lower grill grate. 3. The void space, free of coals directly underneath the grates, is still hot. Food will cook there - just not as fast as on the direct side, right above the coals. 4. Use the hot side of your grill for direct cooking with high heatfor example, searing a steak to get good color, caramelization and grill marks. Use the other side for slow, indirect cooking and to let foods cook through a�er searing. The coal-free side also serves as a flame-free zone. In case of flareups, just move your food to the indirect side until the flames subside, then move them back to the direct side to finish cooking. For more grilling tips and recipes, visit www.kingsford.com.

BARBECUE MEATBALL SKEWERS WITH MOZZARELLA Makes: 20 meatball skewers Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 12 minutes 1 pound ground beef 1/2 cup bread crumbs 1/3 cup basil, chopped 1 egg, scrambled 3 tablespoons onion, diced 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 ounces fresh mozzarella 2 cups KC Masterpiece Kansas City Classic Barbecue Sauce 20 3-inch wooden skewers Build a charcoal ﬁre for indirect cooking using Kingsford(r) Charcoal by situating the coals on only one side of the grill, leaving the other side void. Preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In medium bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, basil, egg, onion and salt. Mix well. Form about 20 meatballs using 2 tablespoons of beef mixture for each meatball. Place meatballs over indirect heat and close grill lid. Cook for 10 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F. While meatballs cook, form a ball of mozzarella (1 teaspoon each) around each wooden skewer, 1 inch from end. Remove meatballs from grill and stick a mozzarella skewer into top of each meatball. Place back on grill over indirect heat, close grill lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until cheese melts. Pour 2 cups barbecue sauce into bowl. Once cheese melts, remove each skewer from grill and immediately dip meatball into barbecue sauce, up to bo�om of melted cheese. Serve warm. #12664 Source: Kingsford Products Company

Stop clogged home gu�ers

Faced with the prospect of another season spent precariously climbing a ladder and reaching inside to clear out debris and leaves, many homeowners are considering the installation of a gu�er protection system. And with so many different types available, finding the right fit is always so easy. A gu�er protection system is a cover or barrier that prevents leaves and large items, such as twigs or blown-around ma�er, from lodging in a home’s gu�ers and eventually preventing rain runoff from draining effectively. Clogged gu�ers and downspouts have been known to contribute to rainwater pooling around the

foundation of a home, potentially causing seepage issues. Blocked gu�ers can also be a haven for stagnant water, which breeds mosquitoes and other insects and potentially harmful bacteria. To combat these issues, manufacturers have come up with a series of protection systems that allow water to enter the gu�er while keeping debris out of it. Gu�er protection systems range from do-ityourself options to professionally installed products. There are a few different styles, and each offer their share of pros and cons. • Screen: A mesh or screen system consists of a screening material that fits inside or over

the gu�er. It serves as a sieve, allowing the water through but blocking leaves and debris. This system is aﬀordable and can be a DIY project. But over a period of time the mesh itself can be blocked with a build-up of debris and will need periodic cleaning. Also, in some screened systems water can freeze up in the screen openings, causing ice dams. • Aluminum covers: There are many diﬀerent aluminum options. Some work with a small crevice along the top that is narrow enough for the rainwater to enter but not allow debris inside. They may not allow as much water to enter as a mesh system because they cover a greater surface

area over the gu�er. Closed systems also may provide an area for insects to make nests. • Foam inserts: A relatively inexpensive protection system is a foam insert. These pieces of porous foam are ﬁ�ed inside the gu�er, allowing water to ﬂow through (albeit a li�le more slowly) while keeping leaves out. Foam inserts are an easy do-it-yourself project and can serve as a test of the

eﬃcacy of gu�er systems before a more expensive system is purchased. • Surface tension products: These are closed plastic or aluminum products where the water entry holes or channels are on the bo�om and sides of the product. This way nothing can ever get clogged from above. The system works by water surface tension; the rainwater will adhere to the

product and then ﬂow into the bo�om or side holes. The nose of these products may have to be kept clean or the surface tension may not occur. When it comes to gu�er protection systems, there are a number of options to consider. Homeowners can experiment with diﬀerent low-cost systems to see if one works before contracting to have a permanent guard put in place.

How to winterize your lawn

Raking leaves is a key step in preparing your lawn for the winter months. In order to ensure your lawn makes a complete recovery after winter hibernation, you may want to spend the fall taking steps to help your lawn survive the winter months ahead. Winterizing a lawn varies depending on where you live and how harsh a typical winter is. There are certain key tasks to complete before you can rest for the winter season. • Remove fallen leaves and debris. Leaf cleanup is among the tasks homeowners dread the most. Raking leaves can be arduous, but it is well worth the eﬀort. Fallen leaves can smother the grass and lead

to dead spots and decay next season. Wait until the majority of the leaves have fallen from the trees before you begin to rake; otherwise, you could find yourself repeating the process throughout the fall. Mulched leaves can be added in small amounts to garden beds to provide rich organic material for next year’s crop of flowers. Be sure to pick up any twigs and other debris as well. Additional debris can become trapped under snow and hinder grass growth when spring arrives. • Cut your lawn short. Unless the season is unseasonably wet and warm, your lawn shouldn’t grow too much in October and November. Continue to cut your lawn until there is no visible growth for about two weeks. It pays to give it a short cut before frost arrives so that long piles of dead grass will not smother any new growth in the spring. Also, long grass tends to bend down upon itself, trapping moisture that can lead to fungal diseases like snow mold. • Aerate the lawn. Soil can be compacted over time, especially in yards that see heavy foot traffic. You can rent an aerator from a lawn supply store so that water and fertilizer can reach the soil. • Fertilize. Now is the time to give the lawn fresh food to overwinter and also replenish the strength of the root

system. All summer long the lawn has been depleting the soil of nutrition, but autumn presents a great opportunity to strengthen those roots. Consider a slow-release formula designed for winterizing that will feed the lawn all winter long. • Edge the garden beds. Take advantage of the cooler weather and slow-growing grass to re-edge around ﬂower beds. Even though the grass above the surface of the soil will stop growing, the roots will remain viable and the lawn will still be sending out rhizomes and tillers to produce new grass blades in the spring. These can easily encroach on garden beds. Edge now so you will have less work to do in the spring. • Trim hedges and trees. If there are any overhanging tree branches or shrubbery blocking sunlight from reaching the lawn, cut back these areas once the foliage has thinned. Take advantage of your town’s leaf and twig pickup services. • Seed bare patches. Scour the lawn for bare patches and put down some seed in these areas. The cooler weather will enable the seeds to germinate without having to compete with weed growth. Once you have prepared your lawn for the winter you can bring in any lawn tools that need repair and have them set and packed away for the spring.

Moisture buildup can increase the probability of mold growth. For homeowners, mold growth can lead to poor indoor air quality and worse. Using a modern insulation material, such as spray foam insulation, in crawl spaces helps reduce airborne irritants and promotes be�er indoor air quality. Properly insulated crawl spaces control moisture and air seal and save on energy bills while improving occupant comfort. The United States Department of Energy suggests homeowners properly insulate the crawl space within their homes to protect from

two main problems. Firstly, by maintaining an acceptable temperature within the crawl space during winter, homeowners can avoid cold, uncomfortable ﬂoors above. Secondly, removing excess humidity in crawl spaces during the warmer summer months can decrease the chances of mold growth or buckling hardwood ﬂoors above. Spray foam insulation, like that available from innovators like Icynene, can help reduce the likelihood of moisture gathering within crawl spaces. Left uninsulated, homeowners run the risk of compromising their home’s durability and com-

fort not to mention possible unexpected repair costs.

Home offices in tight spaces A home office is a necessity or many adults these days. While some people have enire rooms available to house home office, others have to make do with less space, and hat can mean fi�ing an office nto a tight space. The first step n establishing a small home ffice is figuring out the space you have and any limitations hat may accompany it. For exmple, maybe you have an unused corner in the living room ut don’t want to have wires nd equipment out in the pen. An armoire-type desk

that can be closed when not in use is a viable option in such a situation. Perhaps there is an unused closet in a bedroom. A wall-mounted desk surface, such as a piece of custom-cut countertop material, complete with foldaway mouse and keyboard tray can easily turn the space into a compact nook. Maybe there is an entryway with a small table that would be large enough for a laptop. A stool or o�oman that can be tucked under it can serve as a desk chair and extra seating for company.
