Did you know that, across the country, leaks account for more than one trillion gallons of water wasted each year? That’s enough water annu-ally to supply Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado combined. Each year, the average American home wastes more than 10,000 gal-lons of water on easy-to-fi x household leaks. That’s how much water a family uses to wash 10 months’ worth of laun-dry, and it could be adding 10 percent to your water bill. Check your water bill in winter; if a family of four uses more than 12,000 gallons per month, you may have a leak. If your water bill is not measured in gallons, you can easily fi nd a con-version calculator online. Finding and fi xing leaks around the home is as easy as check, twist and replace. Check toilets for leaks by putting food coloring in the tank and waiting a few minutes; if the color shows up in the bowl before you fl ush, you have a leak. The culprit may be a worn rubber fl apper, which can be easily replaced at a hardware store. You should also check your outdoor watering system this spring for damage from freezing temperatures. Twist the joints connecting your showerhead and use pipe tape to en-sure a tighter connection if you’ve got a leak. Outdoors, twist the hose connec-tion tightly to the spigot and replace the hose washer if necessary. Replace worn gaskets to nip fau-cet drips; one drip per second wastes 3,000 gallons of water per year!

Tankless water heaters Thirty percent of a home’s energy budget goes to heating water for clean-ing and bathing. Some homeowners are looking to new and effi cient tan-kless water heaters as an option on saving money on water heating costs and saving space around the house, as tankless heaters are much smaller than traditional water heaters. Consumer Reports found that while tankless heat-ers that use high-powered burners to heat water as it fl ows through the unit to provide hot water on demand are 22 percent more effi cient than gas-fi red hot water tanks, there are some pitfalls as well. Tankless heaters tend to be more expensive than traditional water heat-ers, so it could take several years for the average homeowner to recoup his costs in terms of energy savings. Also, inconsistent water temperature is a fre-quent complaint among testers of tank-less products. The hot water does not come instantaneously, and much like standard water heaters, if there is re-sidual cold water in the pipes, this will have to be forced through fi rst before the hot water arrives. Because many tankless water heaters work with elec-tric controls, in the event of a power outage, hot water could be lost for the duration of the outage.

A driveway is more than just a place to park your car. The right driveway material can add considerable curb appeal to your home, increasing its resale value. Homeowners have many options at their disposal when choosing a driveway material, and the right material for one home may not be the best fi t for another. The following is a rundown of popular driveway surfaces and what homeowners can expect of each of them.

Brick Many homeowners believe brick drive-ways provide the most aesthetic appeal, and it’s hard to argue with the beauty of brick driveways and walkways. Brick driveways come in various colors and hues, and many homeowners opt to have the color of their brick driveways match their landscaping, which further adds to curb appeal. But that curb appeal is only appealing if the drive-way is designed and installed correctly, and homeowners can expect to pay a pre-mium for that, as brick driveway installa-

tion is very labor intensive.

Gravel Gravel driveways may not be as com-monplace as they once were, but this cost effective driveway material is still an op-tion. Homeowners who live in regions with mild winters without snow might benefi t most from gravel driveways, which can be diffi cult to negotiate when shoveling snow. Gravel tends to be the least expen-sive driveway material to install, but pro-fessionals may recommend that a new top layer of gravel be laid once or twice a year to replace material lost to everyday usage.

Asphalt Asphalt remains a popular driveway material, thanks in large part to its prac-ticality and ease of installation. Unlike other driveway surface materials, asphalt is available in just one color, black, and that lack of versatility has led many homeown-ers to consider other options. But asphalt remains an affordable driveway surface

material that’s relatively easy to repair. Cracks and holes in asphalt are somewhat common, but resealing such blemishes once every three to fi ve years is typically enough to maintain the appearance of an asphalt driveway.

Concrete Concrete driveways are popular thanks in large part to their affordability and aes-thetic appeal. Concrete can be susceptible to extremely cold weather, but many home-owners prefer concrete because of its versa-tility. Concrete can be stamped or dyed to provide a unique look, which can increase curb appeal. Concrete can be expensive to maintain, particularly when the material cracks. In addition, gas and oil spills are more notice-able on a concrete surface than other drive-way surface materials. When replacing an existing driveway, homeowners have an array of new surface materials to choose from, and each material has its pros and cons.

Research options when laying a new driveway

Cool your home without breaking the bank Mother Nature is consistently incon-sistent these days, when 30-degree Mon-days might be followed by 60-degree Tues-days. Fickle weather is often accompanied by large fl uctuations in temperature, strong storms and unseasonable conditions, mak-ing it diffi cult for homeowners to maintain comfort levels in their homes. As a result of fl uctuating temperatures, home heating and cooling systems have been heavily taxed. Growing reliance on HVAC systems has also driven up energy bills, as moderate weather synonymous with spring has given way to more days of extreme heat or extreme cold. As summer approaches once again, reducing cooling costs is a priority for many homeowners. The following are a few ways to cool your home’s interior without causing a spike in your energy bill. • Reduce sun exposure. Much of the hot air inside of a home can be attributed to sunlight exposure throughout the day. Walls and windows on the south and west sides of a home will bear the brunt of the sun’s rays, so close shades and drapes on this side of the house to maximize cool-ness. Shades and curtains can save you up to 7 percent on your bills and lower indoor temperatures by up to 20 degrees. Home-owners also may want to think about in-stalling a retractable awning on areas of the house that get a lot of sun. Planting shade trees is another way to naturally cool down hot sides of the house. • Draw more air into the attic. Hot air rises, and in the summertime hot air can get trapped beneath the roof in the attic and eaves of a home. While an attic should have vents, homeowners can speed up the exchange of hot air with a simple trick. Open up a window on a shady side of the home, and then open the attic door or take out the access panel and place a box fan in-side to blow air up into the attic. This will disperse the hot air and help force it out through the vents. • Use fans productively. Using box fans to suck cool night air in from east- and north-facing windows and to push out hot

air from west- and south-facing windows is another way to increase circulation through a home. Running fans may be less costly than turning on air conditioners. Also, set ceiling fans to rotate counter-clockwise. This will pull cooler air up from the fl oor and create a wind-chill effect. • Switch to LED or CFL bulbs. Ninety percent of the energy used for incandes-cent bulbs is emitted as heat. This not only wastes electricity but also can make condi-tions hotter inside a home. Switch to cool-er, more effi cient light bulbs. • Reduce humidity levels. Humidity makes hot temperatures feel even hotter. Clean laundry, take showers and run the dishwasher at night or early in the morn-ing before the day heats up. Don’t forget to vent bathrooms and kitchens by turning on exhaust fans when water is in use.

• Rely on a programmable thermostat. Setting a thermostat to adjust the air condi-tioning system automatically means home-owners can keep the temperature raised when they’re not home and then have it lowered shortly before they arrive home. The thermostat also can adjust tempera-tures for day and night use. • Keep doors closed. Do not cool rooms that are unused. Maximize the cool air in lived-in spaces by blocking off rooms that do not need to be cooler. • Invest in more insulation. Insula-tion does not just keep homes warmer in the cold weather. Insulation also prevents hot air from infi ltrating living spaces while keeping cooler air where it’s needed. Seal-ant around windows and doors also will prevent unnecessary air exchange.

Ceiling fans can help cool a home more effi ciently when fan blades spin in the right direction for the season.

FAMILY OWNED FOR OVER 56 YEARS

With the rise of the “staycation,” more and more homeowners are turning their backyards into their own private oases. The centerpiece of many such retreats is a re-freshing and inviting pool. Whether above-ground or inground models, pools make for welcoming spots to enjoy warm days and nights. A new pool can quickly turn a yard into the “it” spot to spend vacations or cool off at the end hot summer days. While pools are often the fo-cal point of a backyard, many homeowners want their pools to blend seamlessly with the rest of their yards. When transforming a backyard that includes a pool, homeown-ers should consider a few factors to ensure each afternoon spent poolside is as safe as it is fun.

Safety fi rst Although the goal may be to soften the lines of the pool and/or create sight barri-ers that will provide some measure of pri-vacy for swimmers, homeowners must put safety above all else. Before any decorative touches are added, it is important to sur-round a pool with a slip-resistant surface and fencing (many communities require fences be erected around pools). Consult with a landscaping contractor, who should be knowledgeable about safety codes, or speak to the permit-issuing department at town hall. There should be a list of require-ments to ensure pool placement as well as any surrounding touches are legal and within code.

Nonslip surfaces Concrete, brick and pavers and deck-ing are popular materials used to surround a pool. Installers can make recommenda-tions on materials and fi nishes, but one suggestion is to choose a rough fi nish. Pool water can make surfaces slippery. Concrete that is stamped or scarred provides extra traction than a smooth surface. The same can be said for brick patios and pavers. Avoid smooth stones or pavers with shiny surfaces, as these may only increase the risk of falls. Homeowners who have chosen wood

Some helpful tips for landscaping around your pool

or composite decking to surround a pool should talk to their contractor about non-slip protective coatings. Such coatings typ-ically are acrylic-based liquids applied like a paint or sealer. Some composite decks may be crafted with texture or a built-in coating to reduce slipping. In addition, use nonstick mats on decks and patios to pro-vide a little extra footing where people en-ter and exit the pool.

Mulch and stone Homeowners often prefer some com-bination of mulch or stone to serve as a transition between the pool, concrete or paver hardscape and the lawn. Stone may be more practical for those with inground pools because it will not easily blow onto the water surface. With an above-ground pool, mulch or stone can do the trick, serv-ing as a barrier so that pool water does not

overly drench the surrounding lawn or damage grass after exposure to pool chemi-cals. Mulch and stone also will provide drainage from water runoff from the pool and rain. Another advantage of having an addi-tional barrier between the pool and lawn is that lawn clippings will not be shot into the pool when mowing. Stone and mulch can be dressed up with statues, lawn orna-ments and tolerant plants.

Finishing touches Plants can provide the fi nishing touch-es for a poolside landscape. Homeowners should keep in mind that pools are not of-ten shaded from the sun, so plants placed around the pool will need to be sun- and drought-tolerant. Succulents, such as aloe and jade, may work, as can the perennial shrub yucca. Moderately growing grasses will offer a privacy barrier. Keep trees and fl owering plants far enough away from the pool’s edge so they do not contribute to debris that falls into the pool, which can complicate mainte-nance. Also, fl owering plants may attract insects and other wildlife that may inter-fere with your enjoyment of the pool. It’s better to create a friendly environment for wildlife further away from the pool.Homeowners who need some advice plan-ning the landscaping around their pools can rely on the expertise of landscape ar-chitects as well as employees at lawn and garden centers. Pool companies may work with landscapers and offer recommenda-tions to people unaccustomed to working around pools.

Homeowners have many options with regard to landscaping surrounding their pools.

Restoring lawns and gardens back to their pre-winter glory is high on many a homeowner’s landscaping to-do list. In much of the country, the best times to tackle lawn projects are when temperatures are moderate, like in spring and fall. These seasons also mark the best time to seed and fertilize. Planting and fertilizing new grass seed should be done when frost is no longer a concern and before frost arrives if you are planting in autumn. According to Roger Cook, a landscape contractor and contribu-tor to This Old House magazine, sowing lawn seed should be done when the soil is warm, the daytime temperatures are mod-erate and you can keep the new seeds quite moist at all times. While grass seed can be applied in the summer, it is more challenging to get the seeds to take root and thrive at this time, as water is more likely to evaporate under the hot sun. Also, many weeds germinate in the heat of summer. As a result, the weeds can infi ltrate areas of the lawn where you planted, compromising the look of your lawn. The process of reseeding and fertiliz-ing your lawn is relatively similar if you decide to do so in late spring or early fall. • Rake the parts of the lawn you plan to seed and remove any debris or rocks. • Apply fertilizer to the cleared plant-ing area. Use a rake or tiller to break up the soil and distribute the fertilizer to a depth of roughly two to four inches. Speak with a landscaper about which type of fertilizer you will need depending on where you live. Many fertilizers contain extra phos-phorous to stimulate root growth in the

Make planning easier with this yearly lawn care schedule

lawn. • Moisten the prepared area and let the soil settle. You want the soil damp but not so wet that it causes the newly applied fer-tilizer to run off. • Begin to sow the grass seed according to the rate indicated on the seed bag for the type of grass you will be growing. Choose a grass seed that will thrive in your climate.

Certain seeds are more tolerant of drought and sunlight, while other species are better for shady areas or damper climates. Again, if you have any questions, consult with a lawn and garden center. • Spread the seed with a broadcast spreader. Some lawn experts recommend spreading the seed in parallel rows and then repeating the process again in rows

set at a right angle to the fi rst series of rows for the best chances of seed coverage. The seeds then can be raked into the soil, covered with a little more soil and patted down. • Water to keep the seeds damp. This may require watering twice or more per day until the seeds begin to germinate. Cover-ing the seeds with about 1/4 inch of straw also can help keep the seeds moist, deter seed scavengers and prevent soil erosion. Remove the straw once the grass begins to grow. • Roughly four weeks after the seeds have started to grow, apply another round of fertilizer to replenish the top layer of soil with nutrients that may have washed away from the constant watering. Homeowners can employ a similar process to overseed a lawn in the hopes of producing a thicker, more attractive land-scape. Any thatch and debris should be raked away, and the top layer of the lawn surface can be gently aerated. Top dress the lawn with a very thin layer of new soil and compost. Broadcast the seed over the prepared lawn and lightly rake the new seeds to help them settle into the soil. Apply fertilizer and water the lawn frequently to keep the new seeds moist. Once the seed has established itself, you can water the lawn for longer periods and less frequently to help develop strong roots. Wait for the lawn to reach a height of three to four inches before the fi rst cut of the season. Many homeowners like to take on the challenge of seeding and preparing their lawns. But some may fi nd the task is best

Seed and fertilize when temperatures are moderate and soil is warm. Remember to keep new grass seed moist with frequent watering.

Pruning trees and shrubs is a job best left to the professionals Bountiful, healthy trees can be beauti-ful to behold and important contributors to a thriving environment. According to American Forests, a nonprofi t conservation organization, a tree can absorb as much as 40 pounds of carbon dioxide per year and can sequester one ton of carbon dioxide by the time the tree reaches age 40. The United States Forest Service adds that trees placed properly around a home can reduce air conditioning and heating demands. Many homeowners are content to leave healthy trees alone. However, trees even-tually must be pruned or removed if they become safety risks or pose other threats. Trees with roots that are damaging home foundations or those with limbs overhang-

ing property limits or power lines can be troublesome. Although homeowners can handle relatively minor tree maintenance, for a variety of reasons, many tree projects are best left to the professionals.

Avoid injury Professional tree contractors recognize and understand the hazards associated with tree and limb removal. Many operate in accordance with national or local guide-lines to maintain proper clearance of power lines and structures. Trimming trees close to electrical lines puts a person at risk of being electrocuted. Professionals know how to protect them-selves and prevent power outages, which

can result when limbs come into contact with power lines.

Prevent damage to the tree Many tree services understand the proper way to prune trees to minimize stress and damage to the tree itself. Novice pruners may inadvertently do more harm than good, resulting in proliferation of tree disease or shock.

Liability A professional tree service will possess the correct liability and worker’s compen-sation insurance. This protects homeown-ers against litigation should someone be injured while tree work is being done.

Homeowners who damage neighbor-ing properties when cutting down a tree may fi nd that they are not covered by their homeowner’s insurance policies. This can be a costly mistake that’s easily avoided.

The right tools The right tools can mean the difference between a job done correctly and one that results in disaster. Professional arborists and tree services have acquired the train-ing, tools and techniques to perform the job safely. Trimming or removing trees can be an unpredictable and potentially dangerous endeavor. Such work is best left to profes-sionals.

Signs a tire mightsoon go fl at Few drivers will be fortunate enough to go their entire driving lives without encountering at least one fl at tire. Flat tires range from the inconve-nient fl ats, which may interrupt a road trip or make drivers late for work or an appointment, to more dangerous blow-outs. But as inconvenient or dangerous as fl ats or blowouts can be, they also can be prevented more often than not. Tires often produce warning signs that a fl at or blowout is about to emerge. • Worn tread: Even drivers who know little about cars can typically recognize when tire tread has worn down to the point where the tire is a safety risk. But drivers who are unsure can employ the quarter test. Insert a quarter into the tread of the tire, with George Washington’s head upright. If you can see the hairline of the United States’ fi rst president, then you need to replace the tire. • Low pressure: Drivers who do not routinely check their tire pressure are more likely to endure a fl at or blow-out than those who regularly make sure their tires are at the manufacturer-recommended pressure, which can be found in a vehicle owner’s manual or by calling the tire manufacturer or vis-iting their website. • Vibration: A car that vibrates ex-cessively may do so because tires are damaged. Flat tires and blowouts can prove both scary and inconvenient. Driv-ers who want to avoid such problems should routinely inspect their tires for indicators that a fl at or blowout is like-ly to occur.

Few drivers start thinking about resale value when driving a new car off of the dealership lot for the fi rst time. Still enam-ored with that new car smell, drivers can be excused for not thinking of resale value as they put the pedal to the metal and speed off in their brand new ride. But it’s never too early to start pro-tecting a vehicle’s resale value, especially if you hope to recoup as much of your ve-hicle investment as possible when the time comes to sell your car or trade it in for a newer model. The following are some ways motorists can protect the resale value of their vehicles from the moment the dealer tosses them the keys. • Keep all maintenance records. New cars typically do not require much main-tenance. But drivers should keep records of all work and maintenance done on their vehicles, even if that work does not extend beyond routine tuneups or oil changes. Keeping maintenance records shows pro-spective buyers you prioritized taking care of the vehicle over the years, and that makes the car or truck more attractive to pr-eowned vehicle buyers who want to avoid buying a lemon or a car that has not been taken care of. • Don’t overlook looks. Looks can be deceiving, but new car buyers who eventu-ally plan to sell their vehicles should do all they can to keep the car looking as new as it did the day it was fi rst driven off the deal-ership lot. Much like homeowners benefi t when selling a home with curb appeal, a car that looks good gives buyers the impres-sion that it was well taken care of. But a dirty car or one with lots of dings and dents is a red fl ag to preowned car buyers. • Keep a clean interior. New car own-ers typically maintain some strict rules with regard to food and beverages in their vehicles. After all, no one wants their brand new car to succumb to stains or spills. But the longer drivers have a car the more lax they tend to become with regard to allow-ing food and drinks into their cars, and that can ultimately hurt the resale value of the vehicle. Maintain a clean interior whether

How to protect your car’s resale value

you just bought the car or have driven it for a few years. Much like an impressive exte-rior leaves a lasting impression, a clean in-terior that has not succumb to coffee stains or muddy boots is more likely to impress buyers than a car with an interior that has seen better, cleaner days. • Drive defensively. It’s not just what you do to a car but how you drive the car that can affect its resale value. Driving de-fensively reduces your risk of accident, and an accident-free preowned vehicle is a top priority for potential buyers. But driving defensively also reduces wear and tear on your vehicle, as over time constant stop-and-go, aggressive driving takes its toll on vehicle engines and other components. • Periodically examine the vehicle history report. Today’s preowned car buy-

ers know to ask for a vehicle history report before buying a car. If your vehicle history report contains any suspicious or inaccu-rate information, you may be forced to sell the car for less than it’s worth or delay sell-ing until you can have any issues corrected. That won’t necessarily happen overnight, but you can avoid dealing with a host of issues all at once by periodically examin-ing the vehicle history report. Any discrep-ancies on the report can be brought to the attention of your insurance company, who can then work with you to correct the is-sues and restore your vehicle’s reputation. Resale value may not be foremost on the minds of new car owners, but the ear-lier buyers begin to factor resale value into their car-care routines, the more they will benefi t down the road

It’s never too early to start protecting a vehicle’s resale value, especially if you hope to recoup as much of your vehicle investment as possible when the time comes to sell your car or trade it in for a newer model.

Parents have a host of options at their disposal when the time comes to buy new cars for their families. While dad might have long dreamed of driving the fastest sports car on the market, such a vehicle does not make much practical sense when car trips fi gure to be made with kids in tow. Finding the right car for a family depends on a host of factors, as what makes a good vehicle for one family will not always make a great choice for another family right down the street. When choosing a car for their families, parents can consider the following factors to ensure they choose the vehicles that best suit the needs of their broods.

Cost While cost should not be the only consideration when choosing a family vehicle, parents must determine their budget before beginning their search for a new ride. Aside from a home, cars are the most expensive purchase many people will ever make, which only highlights the importance parents must place on fi nding the right vehicles for their families. Luxury cars, SUVs and sports cars tend to be the most expensive vehicles on the market, and young parents just starting out or parents of school-aged kids with college educations to consider might fi nd that less expensive vehicles make the most practical sense for their families. Parents also must determine if they are fi nancing or leasing their vehicles or buying them outright. Financing and leasing often requires full insurance coverage, which can be pricey, while buying outright affords vehicle owners to choose the level of coverage they are most comfortable with. Determine insurance costs on a given model before driving off the lot with the pedal to the metal.

Family size The size and potential size of the family also must be considered before buying a new car. Kids grow up and get bigger, and parents who want to have more children down the road should consider

How to approach fi nding the right vehicle for your family

just how big they want their family to be before buying a new car. Look for a car that not only suits your family now, but one that will cater to your family’s needs down the road as well. Overlooking this important factor now may force you to replace the car you ultimately buy sooner than you had hoped.

Safety Safety is the top priority for many parents as they purchase new cars for their families. Look for a car with a high safety rating and a proven track record of ensuring passengers survive accidents.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (www.iihs.org) as well as the National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration (www.nhtsa.gov) test and rate new vehicles for safety, and parents should look up the results of these tests and ratings on any vehicle they are considering purchasing for their families.

Use Family cars are rarely limited to getting mom or dad to and from work and for trips to the grocery store. Today’s kids are more active than ever before, and chances are their schedules are as packed as their

parents’. Consider the many chauffeuring trips you will have to make in the years to come, and choose a car that is equipped to handle those trips. Parents who double as soccer coaches may benefi t from buying minivans that can easily store all that sports equipment, while those whose children participate in activities that take them far and wide may want a car that’s especially fuel effi cient.

Comfort Luxury vehicles may provide the most comfortable ride, but parents who are not yet ready to go that route need not sacrifi ce comfort in favor of practicality. Families spend lots of time in their vehicles, and summer vacations or winter holiday road trips are that much more enjoyable when everyone is riding in comfort. While comfort might not be the foremost priority for parents, it is something to consider when buying new family vehicles.

Finding the right car for a family depends on a host of factors, as what makes a good vehicle for one family will not always make a great choice for another.

Multi-car insurance Insuring multiple vehicles and/or drivers on an auto insurance policy may prove cheaper than having each of those drivers and vehicles insured separately on multiple policies. That’s because insurers typically offer bulk rates to policy holders willing to in-sure several vehicles and/or drivers on a single policy. But such discounts typically adhere to guidelines that dic-tate eligibility. For example, if the head of a family wants to insure his or her children on the same auto insurance policy he or she has, then those chil-dren typically must list their parents’ home as their legal residence. Blood relations also may infl uence eligibility for multiple driver policy discounts. In general, only blood relatives or rela-tives by marriage can benefi t from mul-tiple driver discounts.

Spring Home & Auto The Press10 THE PRESS APRIL 20. 2015

(MS) - By Scott McGillivray

In the United States, renovation spend-ing has more than doubled since the late 1990s, reaching nearly $65 billion last year alone. Oftentimes the investment a home-owner makes is substantial, both fi nan-cially and emotionally. The stakes are high. That’s why it’s imperative that the job is done well from start to fi nish. There are a number of steps a homeowner can take to ensure a positive experience and a success-ful outcome, including: 1. Know your goal. Ask the question, “What is this renovation designed to ac-complish? More functionality? Storage? Living space?” If a homeowner doesn’t know where they’re going with the renova-tion, chances are they’ll never get there. 2. Do your research. In most things, knowledge is power, and knowing what to expect, in advance, can keep expectations in check. Investigate options, budgets and timelines, and arrange fi nancing in ad-vance. 3. Hire professionals. Be sure that they are happy to work with you to meet your budget and achieve your vision. Commu-nicate clearly and often to ensure under-standing on both sides. 4. Opt for a general contractor and trades that are experienced, licensed and insured. Don’t hesitate to check credentials and references. Get recommendations from family, friends and colleagues who have had work done and were satisfi ed with the results. 5. Start with quality building materi-als. When it comes to home renovation and construction, the adage, “it’s what’s on the inside that counts” seems apt. While home-owners tend to get caught up in the aesthet-ics of a project, such as fi nishings and paint colors, the key to a successful renovation often lies in what you won’t see. Investing in quality behind your walls will ensure durability, comfort and safety for years to come. 6. Focus on the basics. This includes quality electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fram-ing and drywall. Don’t underestimate the

How to make your renovation a success

importance of insulation - especially in a basement renovation. Not all insulation is created equal. Opt for insulation that is fi re-resistant, sound absorbent and resistant to mold, mildew, bacterial growth, and rot. In my renovations, I like to use products like Roxul’s Comfortbatt and Comfortboard IS to help achieve a more energy effi cient home, buy you valuable time in the event of a fi re and prevent moisture issues that can pose health risks and lead to costly re-pairs. 7. Develop a good plan. This includes

preparing for the unexpected. Setting aside a 20 percent contingency fund will help bring you to the fi nish line when unantici-pated issues creep up. Lastly, the key to a successful reno-vation includes patience. Living in a con-struction zone - or alternately moving out while the work is done - can be stressful and trying. Keep your eyes on the prize. There’s nothing more rewarding than the end result, which can bring years of enjoy-ment and ultimately add to your home’s bottom line.

There are a number of steps a homeowner can take to ensure a positive experience and a successful outcome.

By fi nishing your basement, you can gain more living space while re-ducing the amount of energy loss from downstairs. Basements that are not fully fi nished typically do not have in-sulated walls or covered fl ooring. This can result in heat loss and cause your furnace to work overtime. A remodeled basement offers more than additional storage space. It can provide a lot of extra room for a growing family, such as space for a gym, home theatre, offi ce, guest suite, or a playroom for the kids. To ensure a comfortable and invit-ing basement, there are a few project components to consider: • Insulation will make sure your space warm and comfortable. For the best results, install a stone wool insu-lation product, a measure that can be done easily with the ROXUL Comfort-Board IS. This product is mechanically fastened or adhered to the concrete foundation wall, offering you a higher R-value and better acoustics. • Drywall will help defi ne the space and make it feel like a part of your home. If you haven't tackled dry-wall before, consider hiring a pro to ensure your walls are seamless. • Flooring should be water sealed and covered with an insulated mate-rial. There are many products on the market, but consider laying padding before carpet or in-fl oor heating before tiles. • Personalize it with fi nishing touches. Select furniture that can fi t down a typically steep staircase.

Damage to a lawn may be indica-tive of various problems. Everything from insects to rodents to the family pet may be responsible for causing burnt patches, holes and other eye-sores. Getting to the bottom of the problem is the fi rst step in remedia-tion. Burning and discoloration of the lawn is often a result of high concen-trations of dog urine pooling in one area. Diluting the urine by hosing down areas of the lawn can clear up many problems. Birds, raccoons, skunks, moles, and other rodents may feed on grubs that reside just under the thatch of the lawn, and animals may tear up lawns in search of this delicacy. Treating the grub problem usually alleviates dam-age caused by animals. Mole crickets are another common lawn destroyer. These insects resemble crickets, but they burrow beneath the turf to feed on plant roots. The mole crick-ets can push up channels of turf as they burrow, exposing roots to the el-ements and causing the grass to die. Getting rid of the insects can revital-ize the lawn.
