DEAR TIM: I have a gorgeous white tile floor in my home. It’s a long story, but I dropped something and chipped a tile. I tried to hide it with a throw rug, but my wife caught me. To get out of the doghouse, I need to repair the tile. Do I have to take out the old tile and replace it with a new one? I would think matching the grout would be very hard to do. Is there another way to repair the chipped tile that will work and get me back into the good graces of my better half? --Andrew V., Perth, Australia DEAR ANDREW: I’m reminded of the time 40 years ago when I ruined some brand new ceramic tile in the kitchen of my second home. It was oneof-a-kind hand-painted backsplash tile near a sink that I sprayed with molten copper and steel. I need not go into the details about how that happened, but suffice it to say my better half was standing next to me just before the foolish accident and had asked me if I knew what I was doing. The sparks, smoke and molten splatter told her all she needed to know.

A small chip in this white tile can be seen in the area circled in red. It can be repaired in less than an hour. Here’s the good news. You’re going to be able to repair the chipped ceramic tile in less than a day. You do have options with respect to how to accomplish the task. I recommend you also buy a box of fine chocolates to supplement your peace offering. Let’s discuss the option

of replacing the chipped tile. Sometimes you have to do that because the chip is so big that you may not have the skill set to repair it using the second method I’ll describe. If you decide to remove a ceramic floor tile, first make sure you have an exact match of the tile. See builder on 4

HOME 4 builder from 3
Most people don’t keep leftover tile at their homes. I feel that builders and remodelers should always leave behind spare tile, in the boxes it came in. Homeowners should keep the tile and hand it off to future owners when they sell the home.
In addition to saving the spare tile, it would be great if you had some of the original sanded grout. It’s harder to preserve sanded grout because the Portland cement in the product wants to harden as it’s exposed to humid air. To preserve it, you need to place it in a tight-
ly sealed container and freeze it. The air inside most freezers is exceptionally dry. If you don’t have any spare grout, then you have to match it. If you don’t get a perfect match, the new grout line surrounding the replaced tile will look worse than the

current chip! If you do decide to replace the tile, then you need to deep clean the tile and grout first and allow the grout to dry so you can see its true color. I recommend using certified organic oxygen bleach to clean tile grout. The photograph you sent me is excellent. The chip appears to be the size of a green pea or pencil eraser. I’ve repaired many chips like this in less than four hours. You’re going to do the same. First, make sure the chipped area is clean and free of all dirt, dust, oil, etc. Once it’s clean, you’re going to mix up some rapid-set clear or white epoxy. The epoxy I use sets up in about five minutes after it’s mixed. I’ve had great success with a product that’s the consistency of honey when it’s mixed. It’s self-leveling and works great in the field area of a tile. You add just enough epoxy so it flows and is the same level as the surrounding glazed finish. In your case, you’re going to have to work a little harder because your chip is on the edge adjacent to the sanded grout. This area of the tile often has a slightly rounded profile, and you don’t want the epoxy to run down onto the grout. You’ll have to add the epoxy in at least two applications and build up layers over a period of

30 minutes. Once you get the epoxy placed and the chip is filled to the right height and profile, you paint the epoxy with a matching paint. You’ll use a fine artist brush so you don’t get any paint on the adjacent tile or grout. Put on at least two coats. Once the paint is cured -- this could take several days -- then you coat the paint with three coats of water-based clear urethane. I want you to refine your repair skills first using some scrap tile you have around the house or that you buy. Chip a piece and do all I say until you’re an expert at the method. Do not try the techniques I described for the first time on the tile in your kitchen. You only get one chance to repair it correctly and you need to have great skills. You’ll attain those rapidly with a few practice sessions out in your garage. Let me know the instant you’re out of the doghouse and how the chocolates were received. I’d also like to see an after photo taken of the tile once you repair the chip.

Home Design Tips For Baby Boomers There are about 76.4 million Baby Boomers in the US, according to the Population Reference Bureau. As this population ages, it will become important that features on their houses promote safety, are easyto-maintain, and last a long time. Whether building from the ground up or remodeling a current home, take “aging-in-place� into consideration every step of the way. Here are some great projects to consider with strong payback.
This foundation will help reduce utility bills for long-term savings. Reinforced concrete walls create a permanent barrier against water, and pre-engineered access for wiring or plumbing features are a key element to whatever vision you have for this subterranean space.

Getting An Early Start On Spring As soon as the first morning frost appears and the first snowflakes start to pile up, many begin looking forward to spring. Images of green leaves, red and orange blossoms, fresh vegetables and herbs help keep the cold winter days manageable as you wait for the ground to thaw so you can start planting. A good green thumb knows early starts in the garden or yard ensure lush, healthy plants, especially if you’re planting trees. Many people do not realize that they shouldn’t wait for summer. Young trees do best when they are put into the ground in spring and have ample time to establish themselves in the soil before either extremes of heat of cold hit. Therefore, if part of your winter landscaping daydreams include planting trees, it’s important to know you’ll need to be ready to plant early. Winter is an opportunity to begin planning. Five simple ways trees are practical and beautiful Few things can be so practical and as beautiful as a tree. It’s no wonder that with the rising popularity of the do-ityourself lifestyle, more people are deciding to plant trees in their yard.
planted. The 6 to 12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow and are currently scheduled to be shipped in March or April, a perfect time for optimal, early season planting. So if you’re already getting excited about spring projects, visit www.arborday.org/earlyplanting to make sure your trees arrive at the right time for planting where you live.
ERVICE... “We S t They SELL!� W ha Here are five simple reasons why: 1. A mature tree can add up to $10,000 to your property value. 2. Trees can reduce energy costs by providing shade to a house in the summer. 3. Trees naturally offset carbon emissions. 4. Because many change from season to season, trees add a variety of different colors to your yard and allow for a range of creative choices and combinations.
5. Trees help make memories. Watching a tree grow in your yard from year to year builds a connection between you, your family, your home and the memories you make there. An easy way to get started The nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation is en-
couraging people to get an early start on their tree planting this year by offering 10 free flowering trees with a $10 membership. Which 10 flowering trees a new member will receive is based on what the state forester recommends or other trees selected for your area to ensure they thrive when

8 Easy Steps To An Organized, Dust-Free Workshop Any good DIY project leaves a trail of dust, tools and various scraps around the workshop. While the end-product is often fulfilling, the remaining cleanup never is. However, having a clean, organized workshop you can easily maintain isn’t
impossible. Here are eight workshop cleanup and organization tips to eliminate the dust, grime and clutter that’s there, and prevent the messes yet to come. 1. Utilize ceiling space. Many projects need all the surface area you can get,
so when it comes to storing tools or placing extra extension cords, utilize available space above. It’s a great spot to hang wire baskets to get seldomused tools out of the way, and place hooks for getting extension cords off the floor.

2. Choose the right tool. The best way to remove dust is to do so at the source. The Dremel brand’s VRT1 combines a versatile rotary tool with a shop vacuum to cut out the cleanup and clear dust as you work. The tool connects to standard wet/dry vacuum hoses and adapters, and intake ports on the tool itself collect airborne dust and debris. It’s a great asset for a dustless workshop, especially with sanding, engraving and polishing jobs or when working with dusty materials like wood and drywall. To find other Dremel tools for your clean and organized workshop, visit www.Dremel.com. 3. Install magnetic strips. Hand tools, measuring tape and other small items have a way of going rogue while you’re mid-project. Rather than throwing them into a big, cluttered bin, install a few rows of magnetic strips along the wall of your workspace. It’s an easily visible place to store these smaller items that often go missing. 4. Include a retractable vinyl window shade. The work table often gets the brunt of the mess from glue spills and paint to dents and dust. Attaching a retractable vinyl window shade to the side of your work table enables you to pull down a protective cover over your workspace when you need it. The best part is, most materials can be easily wiped or scraped off the vinyl when the project is finished, leaving a cleaner, mess-free work table. 5. Consolidate with a battery charging station. Misplaced battery packs can delay progress during a project. Avoid the stress and consolidate all of your battery packs into one, central battery charging station. Create a long tray out of wood or metal and place with
a dedicated power strip. Use this area as the landing space for all your battery packs, so next time a power tool runs low on juice, you can quickly replace it and keep your projects going. 6. Create a garbage station. Running scraps to the garbage, searching for a broom and dustpan, and finding extra garbage bags is a tiring and unwanted step when you’re in the middle of a project. To keep from making multiple trips back and forth to the garbage, create a handy garbage station that corrals the broom, garbage container and extra liners in one spot. Place these items on a tray with wheels and it easily becomes a mobile station so you can get rid of the garbage as you go. 7. Cover walls with chalk paint. Sometimes an organized workshop involves making a space for your creative ideas. Rather than cluttered notebooks and binders of notes, paint the walls of your workshop in chalk paint so you can jot down notes, measurements, timelines and plans in an easily visible spot. This keeps your big ideas top of mind and holds you accountable to any deadlines you have set. 8. Wipe up water. Dust loves water. Water spills around the workshop are a great way to ensure the dust spreads and stubbornly sticks to where it shouldn’t. To prevent dust from clinging to every surface, ensure your workspaces are dry prior to working with dusty materials like wood and drywall. With a little work, the right tools and a plan in mind, an organized, dustfree workshop is right within reach.
