Northern NE Home, Garden & Flower Show Returns To Fryeburg Fairgrounds May 13th-15th by Karla Ficker
Norhern NH Home, Garden & Flower Show
Hello and welcome!! We celebrate both a truly strange winter and welcome with open arms our warm weather ahead. Rated as a Top 20 event in Maine by Yankee Magazine, you don’t want to miss all the sights, sounds and smells of spring at this year’s Home Garden Flower Show, May Fair. In its 16th year, the Home Garden Flower Show, May Fair welcomes almost 250 vendors throughout seven different buildings and 5 acres of outdoor space. Energy efficiency is an important part of the show. While new technology in energy-efficiency can be both intimidating and exciting, our exhibitors have the knowledge and time to talk with attendees, make appointments and do an evaluation on home-improvement projects. The famous Meet the Chefs cooking series returns with the perfect Sum-
mertheme -“Sizzlin’ Summer Recipes!” The weekend series features guest chefs from the most popular kitchens in Maine and New Hampshire sharing their culinary secrets to packed audiences and is scheduled throughout the show. It’s a crowd pleaser! New for 2016 we proudly introduce the “Artisans in Residence” demonstrations. Among the many artisans and specialty food purveyors, we will introduce high end artists sharing their craftsmanship and talent with show goers. Artists specializing in pottery, rug hooking, blacksmithing and more. Try yourhand at the potter’s wheel or watch an artist create a mosaic tile wall hanging. Design Bungalow will demonstrate how easy it is to “Shabby Chic” while Dereck Glazer impresses you with his talent in blacksmithing. These fine artists are a few of the talented vendors who are eager to present their craft and answer your questions.
Artists and crafters in the show offer a huge range of gifts and great ideas for family and friends. It is especially important that we support our local and regional businesses. And it’s fun to walk through the buildings and meet these great entrepreneurs. After such a warm and overwhelming reception to last year’s addi-

Ask The Builder Faulty Downspout Installation Causes Drainage Problems Syndicated Columnist
DEAR STACIE: Oh my goodness! From what I see in the great photo you sent, you’ve got a problem. Rest assured, it can be fixed, and the contractor should do it at no additional expense to you. Every time I see contractors or homeowners use that flexible corrugated black plastic pipe for downspout drainage, I groan. In my opinion, it’s the least favorable pipe to use. Go back in time and look at old homes and you’ll see that contractors routinely used dense clay

DEAR TIM: My home is less than two months old and I already have a problem with my downspout drainage. Where the sidewalk comes up to my front porch a black corrugated plastic pipe extends through the concrete. The soil under the sidewalk has now eroded and each time it rains I can see water bubble up from under the sidewalk. How can this be fixed, and what can be done to prevent foundation damage? Is this poor construction or what do you think caused the problem? --Stacie N., Eagle Mountain, Utah

& & &
The downspout drain line under the sidewalk is leaking and causing erosion and possible foundation leakage. pipe for downspout drain lines. Yes, this was in the day before plastic was invented, but the contractors knew that water should pass through substantial pipes and last generations, not weeks. The clay pipes had their own set of problems. For example, roots could get into the joints and clog the pipes, and if the pipes were not installed perfectly with solid fill under them, they’d crack and collapse. I’m a fan of plastic downspout drainage lines, but not the flimsy black corrugated plastic. For many years I used a stiff plastic pipe that was rated for sewer lines. It was called SDR-35. That designation may have changed, but while the plastic was not as heavy as schedule
40 PVC, it was somewhat close. What I liked about this SDR-35 is that the pipe came with self-sealing hubs that had built-in rubber gaskets. The end of one pipe would slide into the wider end of another one and the rubber gaskets provided a leak-proof connection that was also impervious to tree roots. Don’t confuse this SDR35 drain pipe with a cheap flimsy white plastic pipe I sometimes see at home centers and big box stores. To get this higher-quality downspout pipe you probably need to visit a plumbing supply house near you that sells products to plumbers. You’ll be able to purchase fittings that make 90 and 45-degree bends See builder on 7

Our Local Artisans In this day and age we often shop with the mindset of finding the best deal or saving money on our day to day purchases. What often gets lost in the shuffle of big box stores and large corporate entities are the unique talents of local artisans. As entrepreneurs, artisans represent unique skills and traditions which are important elements of maintaining a creative and culturally rich world. Appreciation of various forms of art and craft
offers a unique common interest that can bring together a diverse community while giving the gift of personal enjoyment as well as intellectual stimulation. When you buy a piece from a local artisan this puts your money back into local economy. Its important to keep in mind that artisans are small local businesses and we often think of them as being reclusive. However in order to operate, they also employ helpers, such as web-
site designers, copy and print services and use a variety of local services which make them a part of are the largest employer nationally and within their own communities. Artisans take great pride in their work, so we hope you will take this opportunity to experience handmade, oneof-a-kind and meaningful gifts and support the local communities that are represented here at May Fair. Some of the local talent that you will meet at
this year’s May Fair will provide you with an up close and personal experience with their craft. In particular, try your hand at rug-hooking! Believed to stem from New England and the Maritimes in the 19th century, the basic technique is very easy to learn and customizable. Experience the art of throwing pottery on the potters wheel or learn more about the blacksmith trade. Take a lesson in the art of portraiture (including people and pets) or learn
the technique behind mosaic art! Learn how to capture the essence of painting seascapes or discover your talent with stenciling, faux graining, mural painting, and the creation of trompe l’oeil moldings. Don’t forget to check out the new trends and techniques with ShabbyChalk Acrylic Paints too! Artisans providing demonstrations are pictured below.

Creating Tick-Safe Landscapes Alone, changes to the landscape may not be as effective a control when compared to some chemical applications, but very effective when used in combination with other measures. Additionally, complete landscape redesigns can be expensive so a decision must be made as to how much will be spent on creating a tick-safe landscape. Tick populations are directly related to how much habitat there is for the ticks and their hosts (mice, chipmunks, birds, deer, etc.). The more habitat there is, the more ticks there will be, and the more exposure we have to them. Fortunately we know quite a bit about ticksand their habitats. Take for instance that most ticks in lawns are found within the first nine feet of the lawn’s perimeter, and more frequently near stonewalls, woods, beds and borders.
We also know ticks favor humid and shady conditions like those found under trees, shrubs, groundcovers, or leaf litter. Here are just a few things that can be done to minimize tick exposure in the landscape: • Prune trees and shrubs for better airflow and sun exposure • Mow lawns according to grass type and use • Move swing sets away
from the woods and lawn perimeter • Mulch play areas with playground mulch • Create a transition area from woods to lawn with a four foot wide wood chip or mulch border (but no plantings) • Remove fallen leaves from the lawn, lawn perimeter, walkways, near basements or other stone structures and recycle them • Repair stonewalls, foundations and walkways • Install deer fencing (most effective) or other deterrents • Grow deer resistant plants (success with “deer resistantâ€? plants is variable due to deer populations and food availability in the area—if a deer is hungry it will eat just about anything). The intent here is to keep ticks and their hosts out of the areas that are most frequently used—your outdoor living spaces.
