It is believed that shutters were first used in ancientGreece to give ventilation, protection, and light controlin the hot environment. Eventually the idea spread to theMediterranean and elsewhere and movable louver shut-ters were designed to control the amount of light and airthat entered the room.
In medieval Europe, rectangular windows with solidshutters framed houses. These were closed with the useof a large iron bar for added protection and security.During the Tudor and Elizabethan times, expensive glasswindows were used but were reserved for the upper halfof window openings. Windows were still closed with solidshutters.
Many of the houses in Homeland constructed sincethe 1920s were designed with wood, operable shutters.Not just attractive, these shutters were also functionalas storm shutters, as shading to keep out the summersun and keep the house cool, and for evening ventilationwhile keeping the residents safe. Many homes had solidshutters on the first floor for security and louvered shut-ters on the second for ventilation. Shutters are part ofthe historic fabric of Homeland and the preservation ofthat historic fabric is what maintains the value of theneighborhood’s houses.
Because shutters are designed to cover the windowsupon which they are installed, you will see interestingconfigurations. Where the window butts up to a wallyou will often see a single shutter of a size to cover theentire window. Where two windows butt against eachother the options are two large shutters, each largeenough to cover a single window, or two folding shut-ters. To custom fit unusual openings, some shutters areeither radius top or cut out to accommodate somethinglike a roof overhang.
Shutters that are constructed of any material otherthan wood have never been approved for use in Home-land and therefore are a violation of the Standards. Since2001, Homeland Boards have required that the appropri-ate shutters be reinstalled on every house which wouldhave been constructed with shutters as soon as it is listedfor sale.
Maintenance and Repair
• Remove shutters prior to painting. Pay special at-tention to the exposed end grains on the tops andbottoms.
• Rails and stiles loosen over time causing louversto fall out. Remove the shutter, lay flat, and puteverything back square. Strengthen the rail to stilejoints by using dowels. Don’t glue louvers; theseare designed to expand and contract.
• Add copper or painted metal shutter caps to thetop rail to prevent rain and snow from penetrating.
Replacement & Hardware
The longest lasting shutters are constructed of mois-ture and insect resistant woods such as redwood andred cedar. Shutters constructed from pine must be treatedwith a preservative before painting.
Replacement shutters must replicate the original shut-ters. Because the originals were made of old growth wood,if maintained over the years they may still be on the house.If not, and original house plans are not available, thedefault would be to use the Homeland Spec in which thelouvered shutters are split 50/50 with rails (the horizontalpieces) that are, from the top, 2 ½ inches top, 3 inchesmiddle and 6 inches for the bottom rail to accommodatethe Zimmerman fasteners.
Shutters should be tenon and mortise (that is, a“tongue” that fits into a rectangular opening in the stile).Stiles are the upright vertical sections of a shutter. Railsare the horizontal cross pieces. Historically accurate shut-ters have overlap beading and rabbeting which meansthat when closed, one shutter overlaps the other andcloses flat.
For brick, stone, and stucco homes, the shutters fit
within the window opening. For frame homes, shuttersfit within the window casing or framing. Each type re-quires specific hinges which are designed for the par-ticular material of the house. Shutters are typically heldagainst the house by either Zimmerman fasteners (thelong bar) which is the most common in Homeland or shut-ter dogs which mount on the house to hold the shutter.Original house plans will indicate which is appropriate.

Patches of garden that seem to sproutnothing but weeds should not be writtenoff. “If you can’t grow anything else,” saysgardening and food writer Sally Freeman,“herbs are the answer.” Herbs have a long,noble history. They’ve been used to flavorfood, prepare medicinal brews, beautifygardens—even line the pockets ofmerchants, as they tried to fill the demandfor herbs and spices during the MiddleAges. Growing herbs isn’t difficult, asFreeman, author of Herbs for All Seasonsand Every Woman’s Guide to NaturalHome Remedies, explains here.
Essentials for an Herb Garden
Ideally, there are three essentials for anherb garden: good drainage, plenty ofsunlight, and light soil enriched withcompost. Try to keep your garden awayfrom trees; the roots rob soil of moistureand nutrients. But many herbs will do wellwithout all three. Rosemary doesn’t mindsome shade. Basil, fennel, dill, Italianparsley, and chives do well in soil suitablefor growing vegetables. Peppermintdoesn’t mind wet conditions. Thymetolerates acid soil, while lavender requiresmore alkalinity than most herbs.
Herbs: Fragrant, Tasty & BeautifulPlant Them Indoors or Out!
Indoor Herb Gardens
If your windows face south, you shouldhave adequate light for even sun-lovingherbs, such as dill, coriander, oregano,thyme, and marjoram. If your windows facein other directions, you should be able togrow rosemary, sweet woodruff, or bay
laurel in natural light. You may have toaugment natural light with special lighting.Be sure to place herb containers as far aspossible from radiators and other heatingappliances, in a room that is cool, moist,
and well ventilated. On very cold winterdays they should be placed away fromwindows.
Growing From Seed
Most herbs will grow easily from seed,germinating in five to seven days. There
are exceptions though. Lavender can takeup to a month to germinate. Rosemary isbest propagated by cuttings, and Frenchtarragon, which is more flavorful than theRussian variety and preferable for cooking,
must be propagated by root division.Parsley can be very difficult to germinate,while Italian parsley is easier to grow thanregular parsley, and, to many, tastes better.
Fertilizer of Choice
Compost is best because it won’t burnthe tender roots. Enrich your compost pileby including some weeds, especiallydandelion, whose long roots bring upminerals from deep in the soil. A layer ofmulch conserves moisture and suppressesweeds in the summer.
Watering Herbs
Water herbs as soon as the soil feelsdry. Rosemary, especially, should never beallowed to dry out. You may need to waterevery day. Your herbs will also appreciatea daily misting!

Spring is a wonderful time of year, but for many it also means the first antsightings of the year. The spring rains soften up the soil and generally provide amore favorable living environment for pests. The nicer the environment, the biggerthe families they have! Eliminating food and water sources for ants can go a longway toward making your home less appealing to these uninvited guests.
• Dispose of fallen fruit outside your home.
• Clean trash containers and trash areas.
• Use tight fitting trash lids.
• Repair dripping hose connections.
• Dispose of uneaten pet food daily.
• Keep counters and floors free from food crumbs.
Tips for Controlling AntsTips for Controlling AntsTips for Controlling AntsTips for Controlling AntsTips for Controlling AntsOne of the glories of Homeland is its
landscape, particularly its mature trees andshrubs. In the summer, they keep us cool(er)and help to refresh the air. But as springturns to summer they grow...and grow...andgrow¯often much more than we expect!
When our hedges, bushes, and treesstart overtaking our sidewalks and lanes,walking can be dangerous. We have to stepout into traffic to avoid overhangingbranches, and the people driving by maynot see us until we’re right in front of them.
HEDGES, BUSHES, AND TREESSo please take some time this weekend
to walk along the sidewalks and lanes thatborder your property. Are they clear of over-hanging branches? Take a turn around theblock in your car. Can you see and be seen?Imagine not only other vehicles, but peoplewalking and children playing, too.
And then if needed, please trim back anyovergrowth so that we can all enjoy thehedges, bushes, and trees that help makeHomeland’s landscape a refreshing summeroasis.
