Building, Homes & Garden
Tips and best bets on home repairs, upgrades and projects for Interior Alaska homes and gardens
2 Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Friday, April 6, 2012 Don't go overboard with DIY summer projects By REBA LEAN email@example.com New builders who take on too big of a do-it-yourself project aren't doing themselves any favors. When somebody gets a grandiose construction project in mind, the best thing to do is to consult an expert before something goes terribly wrong, according to Fairbanks Spenard Builders Supply assistant manager Jim Mayo. "A home is probably the biggest investment you can make in your whole life," Mayo said. "It's good to talk to somebody who knows what they're doing rather than guessing." Mayo said a couple of common summer construction projects that new builders can be successful with are building a a nd C l new deck and weatherizing a house. With a new deck, Mayo said, it's important to have a structurally sound plan. "It doesn't matter how pretty it is if it doesn't work," he said. If people don't want a bouncy deck, one idea is to use a computer program at SBS that can help give the builder an idea of where beams should be placed. Mayo said weatherization projects are great for beginning builders. "If a guy's handy at all," Mayo said, he or she can replace doors and windows or add insulation to the attic easily. Richard Seifert at the University of Alaska Fairbanks' Cooperative Extension Service recommends people get a home ood � Loggi rew ng Fi �L !%6( 133(1!36/7 ! 1 Log Wood 3 Cord Loads $550 Birch Stove Length 1 Cord Load $325 Birch 12393444 4-6-12 BE energy rating to find out what kind of improvements they can make, especially with rising energy costs. He said he thinks a ton of people will be making weatherization improvements this summer, including sealing cracks and insulating homes. "They've already been bludgeoned by the prices and they better," he said. The Cooperative Extension Service has information available online, including tips on weatherization and improving energy efficiency. At Fairbanks' Home Depot store, Julie McLean, assistant manager, said they offer clinics to almost anybody who walks in the door with a question. "We get people all the time that will come in and say, `It went horribly wrong, tell me how to fix it,'" she said. For those people, McLean said store employees can throw together a small clinic or have a one-on-one tutorial for proj- ects. "We can usually find somebody in the store that has done any project," she said. Home Depot has weekend clinics scheduled for April on building a raised-bed garden, installing an entry door and lock system and using outdoor power tools for the lawn or garden. McLean said the Fairbanks store has its own page at www. facebook.com/fairbankshd, where people can post questions that the store will respond to and possibly schedule clinics for. Beginning builders should keep an eye out for other local clinics that could be of interest to them this spring -- SBS has a May 5 clinic on installing metal roofing, and Cooperative Extension offers a home building course April 14, for instance. Once summer begins, the construction season is under way. Contact staff writer Reba Lean at 459-7523. Make the most of your yard, garage sale By GINNY FRIZZI Creators.com Having a yard sale is one thing; having a successful one is another. Those individuals who take the time to plan their sale are most likely to be successful. Whether called garage sales, tag sales or yard sales, the first thing is to establish your goals, according to Andrew Schrage of the website Money Crashers. "There are two main schools of thought regarding garage sales. The first is to simply declutter your house and make whatever you can available for sale. The second is to focus in on profits," he says. Begin by gathering items for sale. You can designate a space, such as corner of the basement or garage, where sale items can be placed. Take the time to get the merchandise in order. Check to see that goods work. Clean them, and group similar items -- such as books, records, dishes and kitchenware -- together. This will make it easier for buyers to find what they are looking for. One of the most important steps is to publicize your sale. "Place your ad in the Friday classified section of the local newspaper, advises Reyne Hirsch, who was an appraiser for the Public Broadcasting Service's "Antiques Roadshow" for 13 years. "Don't be too wordy. Words like antiques, collectibles, modernism, jewelry and couture add interest to see what is there," she says.

If you elect to remove a wood or coal stove, and agree not to use a wood stove for 10 years, the incentive for the removal is $3000. You can install a wood pellet stove or pellet boiler if you wish in its place, as pellet stoves and pellet boilers are considered exempt from the program.

In this down economy, widely described as a buyer's market, those decisions are even more critical. Realtor Fritz Pfister shares suggestions for low- and no-cost home improvements that will help your house sell. Make a good first impression. "Clean sells," says Pfister, who specializes in residential listings, hosts a weekly real estate radio program and offers two home-selling seminars throughout the year. "Really clean sells even better. And don't forget to keep the home as clean every day as the day you went on the market." This includes the yards, porch, entryway and every part of the interior. Hire a cleaning team if necessary to be sure the home is spotless for every visitor. Make your home's maintenance look effortless. Put away all yard tools. Clear out clutter from the garage and basement. "Walk through the house. If something causes you to stop and ask yourself, `Should I do this?' I would," says Pfister. "If you pause, so will prospective buyers." Make closets feel spacious and organized. "Closet redesign is relatively inexpensive should you have older or inefficient shelving and hanging systems. In today's society, you don't need more than three feet for long hanging clothing. Double racking maximizes space." Also, Pfister continues, "you must be able to see 75 percent of all closet floors. If you haven't worn something in six weeks, you're not going to wear it in the next six weeks, so pack it, sell it or donate it to charity." Make the color scheme of your house neutral. Walls should be whites, eggshell, light taupe or some other nondescript color. Anything that reflects a strong theme should be removed. Plain colors allow prospective buyers to imagine their own colors and decorating style. Edward Tandy, owner of Creators.com Homeowners can save money on electric bills in spring and summer by programming their thermostats, a seasonal step often overlooked. Tandy Handy handyman service, often sees houses that need more than a little sprucing up. Tandy provides general repairs, painting, tile, flooring, cleaning and more, and he specializes in getting houses ready for sale from the ground up. Tandy recommends tidying up unruly shrubbery, fixing front doorknobs that don't work, fixing chips and freshening front door paint, replacing dark and dull hardware, straightening crooked shutters, fixing loose bathroom tiles, and more. He also provides needed repairs, such as broken stairway spindles, and addresses such safety issues as broken steps and soft subflooring. "As you walk through the house," says Tandy, "anything that's not cosmetically appealing or anything that might cause the potential buyer to be alarmed needs to be addressed -- even really small things, such as a light switch that doesn't work properly. Some buyers will think, `Oh, man, this place has wiring problems,' turn around and walk out." When it comes to paint colors, Tandy agrees with Pfister. "No wild, crazy contemporary colors or any decorating style that is out of the mainstream." Many of these suggestions can be done by the homeowners, but some, especially the custom repairs, call for the help of a handyman. In that case, advises Tandy, look for someone with broad experience, references, liability insurance, and a professional and trustworthy appearance. "You'll get a gut feeling," says Tandy. "Ask yourself, `Can this person be trusted in my home, maybe even with a key?' Make sure you are comfortable with this person." And, Tandy adds, be sure to get a written estimate for any larger work to be done. Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Friday, April 6, 2012 5 To improve or not: What to repair, replace before selling By DiANNE CROWN Creators.com Larry Singer and his wife recently sold their 110-year-old two-story frame home after living in it for the past 25 years. They did need to fix the roof, but Realtor Fritz Pfister advised them to let certain other old-home things go, such as replacing a few windows that were painted shut. "When you look at a 100-year-old home," Pfister told the Singers, "you expect to see that sort of thing. There will be other things buyers are more concerned with." Otherwise, says Singer, "We did some cleaning to spruce the place up and make it look presentable. We didn't need to paint. The walls were already `bland,' whites and eggshells." Fresh neutral paint is a seller, according to Pfister. But other fix-ups, improvements and remodels don't generate high return on the investment. Here are a few tips Pfister tells his clients: "When considering remodeling projects for your home, invest wisely," begins Pfister, who has developed a winning combination of home preparation and pricing through thousands of contracts over the past 24 years. "The most important rooms in your home when you sell are, in this order (at least in the Midwest), kitchen, bathrooms and closets. "Kitchens are expensive. So, if you know you will be selling within three years, a complete remodel is not advised. We are a long way from recovery in the housing market. Home prices will remain flat or decline until the inventory of foreclosed homes is absorbed by the market and the jobs market recovers and begins adding to demand. So, market conditions will outweigh improvements. "If you are selling in less than three years, you can spruce up the kitchen's appearance with new counters, sink, faucet and appliances. Install flooring that makes the kitchen feel spacious. If you know you will be in your home longer than three years, then cabinet replacement or new design can be enjoyed for years, recovering the value of investment through personal use and enjoyment." Use the same approach when updating bathrooms. "Consider installing a new vanity, updating fixtures to what is currently popular in your area and flooring if you will be selling in less than three years If you plan on being in the home for an extended period, then consider the complete remodel by consulting a local bath design company of good repute," says Pfister. "When contemplating both kitchen and bath updates, keep energy and water efficiency in mind for resale," says Pfister. "Make certain the water heater is large enough to accommodate any new demands and is efficient." Make sure closets are well organized, cleared of all clutter and look spacious. Windows, basement, mechanicals? "Most investments such as new windows, in my opinion, will save you on your utility bills, but seldom save you enough to pay for themselves unless you live in the home long enough until the new windows are old. What this type of improvement does for you is to help you sell, and sell faster." Pfister advises repairing or replacing anything that poses a safety risk before putting your home on the market. However, he adds, "Prepare to be disappointed if you're expecting a return on finishing the basement, new siding, roof, mechanical systems or room additions. All these will help you sell; however, do these for your own benefit first and as an investment second." One of the most important things you can do is clean, clean, clean your house and freshen up the paint in neutral colors. Last month, Carolyn York did this as a seller and looked for this as a buyer when she purchased an updated 1960s trilevel. York says of her new home, "What I like is that I don't have to do a lot of major changes. I like renovating things and updating, but I could live with this house as it is. It was move-in ready, which means less work and less money for me." York's new house features a clean, open living room painted in neutral colors that form a beautiful backdrop for her furniture and artwork. The walls are taupe, and the wood trim is a clean, bright white. As a seller, York cleared out her closets. "Buyers want to see 90 percent of the floor in the closet. I know when I looked at houses, I saw closets so crammed full you feel like there's not enough room for your stuff." These dos and don'ts will help get a fast sale, and that should be your goal, says Pfister. Early Bug Special! APRIL 10% OFF WITH THIS AD THEY'RE HERE!!

After spraying on the solution, use a long-handle stiff brush to scrub the deck and remove any residual mold and mildew stains. Then allow the solution to soak into the boards for 15 to 20 minutes. Afterward, rinse off the deck with a hose. Once the deck has been cleaned and had time to thoroughly dry, you can then begin to weatherproof it in earnest by applying a water sealer. A deck waterproof sealer is specially formulated to repel moisture and protect the wood deck boards from ultraviolet sunlight. Deck waterproof sealers are available in both clear and tinted shades. Before applying a waterproof sealer, make sure you check the weather forecast first. Typically, a deck sealer needs 24 to 48 hours of rainfree weather to dry thoroughly. There are a number of ways you can apply a sealer to weatherproof a wood deck surface. I use a roller and a 4-inchwide brush, as it is the most economical way to apply it. Initially, I roll the deck sealer onto a small section of the deck, and then use the brush to work the sealer into the wood. 13394242-4-6-12BHI 13394238-4-6-12BE Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Friday, April 6, 2012 7 Create the perfect oasis with upgrades to your porch want your space to be safe and sturdy before decorating.

Jones suggests carpets made of 100 percent poly-acrylic yarns, 100 percent polypropylene or olefin, to name a few. Jones says that these carpets are easily hosed off for cleaning. The result is a space-defining foundation that's comfier to walk on than bare-wood floors. � Provide pillows. Setting fluffy pillows and cushions on your chairs and sofas instantly adds comfort and coziness to the space. Shop your home decor store and catalogs for pretty pillow designs in outdoor-friendly materials that also resist mold growth. Choose a small, lumbar-support, outdoor pillow for rocking chairs as well. Pet owners might also set out a dog bed made of outdoor-material, so that Fido can hang out on the porch in comfort. � Light it up. In outdoor living decor catalogs, you'll find outdoor lamps that look very much like tabletop indoor lamps, only they're safe to use outdoors and are often batterypowered. Place one on a table to glow alongside citronella candles in safe decanters placed around your space. � Go green. Adding green and flowering plants to your porch sitting area is one of the easiest decor tasks possible. You can place large or groups of tall containers on the porch floor, lineup potted plants on a baker's rack or outdoor shelving unit you've set in your space, or hang flowering planters from your porch roof. If your railing is wide and secure enough, you might install window boxes to fill with spring and summer flowers and greenery to surround your new socializing or relaxation haven. � Hang curtains. Install a curtain rod, or use powerful springform curtain rods, to hang colorful or neutralshaded curtains. This will provide some privacy and add extra visual interest to your porch space. Jones reminds you to be sure that the curtain material, thread and hardware, are made for the outdoors. DECK: Sealer Continued from Page 6 I find this method works best, as the deck sealer really gets pushed into the wood grain. Alternatively, you can use a long-handle paint pad or buy or rent a sprayer to initially apply the sealer. As with the roller, work in small sections at a time when applying the sealer with either of these two alternative tools. Also, you'll still need to work the sealer into the wood with a brush after initially applying it. To apply a sealer to the deck railings, a sprayer works the fastest -- but you waste a lot of sealer. The most cost-effective way to weatherproof wood deck railings is to apply the sealer with a brush. Unfortunately, it is a slow process. The water sealer will hold up best with this approach, however, and you'll save money because you'll need fewer cans of water sealer. Mark J.

Creating a room that feels designed isn't rocket science. It's actually quite simple. I am going to share with you my "1-2-3" rule for the basic design of any room. No. 1: Select a beautiful color for the walls. You know down deep inside knows what colors you generally prefer. Take inspiration from anywhere and everything. It can come from the color of a favorite shirt, your car or the color of the sky at a particular time. My suggestion: Whatever that color is, select a pale, light version of it. For example, if the color you love is orange, consider using a soft peach or light apricot color for the walls. This will introduce the color palette of your preference into the room without overwhelming it. Of course, any woodwork or millwork in the room can be painted in another color. My favorite color for millwork is a soft white that is not too stark or bright. As with most things in life, the novelty of painting a room in a color that is too vibrant will wear away, and you'll be left with the desire to repaint the room. No. 2: Stick to two main upholstery fabrics. The colors and prints should be complementary. One fabric can be a solid, whereas the other fabric might take on a print, such as a floral, plaid, animal spots or stripes. If you like a simpler and more tailored room, use the solid on the principal upholstery items, such as the sofa or a pair of club chairs. The other printed fabric can be used on smaller chairs or benches. If you prefer a bolder look, do the opposite; use the printed fabric on the larger main upholstered items, and keep the occasional pieces solid. No. 3: Bring in up to three other colors/prints/motifs to the room. This is your opportunity to personalize and jazz up the style of a room. Select other colors -- e.g., a stronger version of the wall color -- that will enhance and underline that original color you loved. These additional colors can be introduced in pillows, rugs and accessories. You also can spike interest in a room by selecting a motif that you repeat over and over in different ways, colors and sizes. Following this simple "12-3" rule should take the mystery out of designing a room. Creating a successful room doesn't necessarily mean that every item in the room has to match. As a matter of fact, there is something to be learned from slightly mismatched or quirky pairings. This is what gives a room personality. Be confident, and select what you really love. Your room will shine with your personality and style. CUSTOM FLOOR CREATIONS IN...

It's also a cheap way to A creative sideline for gar- fill flowerbeds and herbal deners is plant propagation, containers while prices conBy DEAN FOSDICK For The Associated Press tinue to climb. Methods of propagation range from seed sowing to grafting, and all require varying degrees of skill. "For propagation, you don't need an education but you may need some guidance," said Ken Druse, author of the new "Making More Plants: The Science, Art and Joy of Propagation" (Stewart, Tabori and Chang). "Most often, though, it's all about starting plants from seeds." Seeds are an economical way to grow in bulk, even if you must buy them in commercially prepared packets. "Getting your seeds from a proven source is a good way to ensure high production," Druse said. Here is a propagation glossary, describing the most commonly used methods: � Sowing seeds: Druse starts his seeds in 3 1/2-inch pots, topping the soil with fine sand. "Moist soil is a great medium for seeds but also for fungus, which can kill a great many sprouts in just a couple of weeks," he said. "Gravel is not a hospitable medium for fungus." � Stem, leaf or root cuttings: Pieces of the parent plant are cut and placed in water or a suitable growing medium until roots develop. They become clones, or junior versions of the originals and soon are ready for transplanting. � Layering: A practice usually done with woody plants where living stems are placed on the ground with their tips forced downward. They receive nourishment from the parent plants while roots form on the planted ends, enabling them to eventually be separated and grow unaided. � Grafting: Branches are removed from one woody plant and secured to another until they "take" or begin to grow. That unites certain desirable characteristics from one plant -- say hardiness, dwarfing or faster fruiting -- with those of its host. Apple trees commonly are grafted, as are Japanese maples. � Dividing: Perennials should be divided once they outgrow their sites. That improves their health, bulks up foliage and produces more flowers. "Depending upon the species, these divisions may grow to be as large as the original plant by season's end: more plants for free," Druse said. "Sowing seeds, cuttings and division are the most prevalent forms of propagation done by home gardeners," said Rosie Lerner, an extension consumer horticulturist with Purdue University. "It's a little work but well worth the effort. It's a matter of knowing which parts of the plants to split off and divide. Many have a high degree of success." And then there are plant swaps, which add a social component to garden building. Be careful of those passalong plants from neighbors and friends, though -- the kind they're willing to trade because they have so many. Some could be infested with mites, while others may be invasive. "Some plants are thugs," Druse said. "Anything so easy to propagate may not be that great to have around your yard."

Though evergreen shrubs can be expensive, using them in a small area limits the damage to the wallet. Whatever your plans and privacy fence design ideas are, you should first check with your local building code enforcement officer to see whether there are any restrictions on installing a fence, even a small privacy fence. Towns and cities frequently have strict rules on their construction, such as their height and set-back requirements. You may also want to check for any local covenants or restrictions that may exist if you live in a housing development. Another advantage of using evergreen shrubs as a privacy fence is that they are typically exempt from local ordinances and covenants for fence construction. Mark J.

Current ping for stock furniture, design and fashion trends you'll always get something often factor into what you'll that's mass-produced. find available in the stores. But many stores carry "As far as furniture goes," furniture that can be bought says Michael Salguero, CEO By CHELLE CORDERO Creators.com and co-founder of CustomMade.com, "the bedroom (beds, dressers, lighting, bedside tables) seems to be a place where people want high levels of customization." Those levels of personalization can differ. "There are items that are more on the personalization side, other items are what we call blank-page customization. This is where the customer and artisan work together to co-create something out of the client's needs/wants/ tastes." The most common materials used in North American furniture are metal and wood; some mass manufacturers may specialize in one specific type of material. Other materials such as plastic covers, metal hinges and glass panels may be used as accents. Custom designers will also find ways to use specialty woods; merge woods and textures; use carvings; and combine wood and metal sculptures. If you can dream it, a designer can make it happen. Salguero also explains that custom pieces are "more affordable than you would think. Custom is certainly on par with mid- to high-end retail stores, such as Restoration Hardware and others. Plus, you can get something locally made and handcrafted to your exact specifications. When a consumer transacts through CustomMade, they are able to correspond with the artisan right on the site, compare different bids for their project and accept a bid with the knowledge that CustomMade has their back in the event that they have a problem." Kitchen cabinetry is another area where custom pieces often come in handy. Stock cabinets, doors and shelves will fit stand sizes. Custom-manufactured cabinets are made to the buyer's specific needs and dimensions. This may be a perfect solution to fit a corner or to accommodate different sized appliances than the original. Custom cabinets also offer more options in terms of shelving, accessibility and storage spaces. Unless you're purchasing a stock piece from a floor display, the time between ordering and delivery is often no different, even if you order a custom piece. Since retailers often order from the manufacturer, it may take weeks until the customer has the furniture in place in his home. According to Salguero, ordering custom furniture typically takes about four to eight weeks until delivery. No matter what you decide to order, make sure that the entry path for delivery will accommodate the furniture to avoid damage to your walls or the furniture; it's suggested that you measure staircase widths, corners and doorways. When you're thinking of choosing custom furniture, start by scouring stores, magazines or the Internet for ideas and designs. Visit a custom manufacturer and ask to see some of their previous designs for inspiration, if need be. Once you have a concept in mind, choose two or three local and reputable artisans; describe your ideas and see what they can suggest. If someone's design doesn't sing for you, then she's not the designer for you. Ask designers whether they have a 3-D visualization program for major projects to help you decide whether the finished project is really what you want. BUILDING THIS SUMMER? BEWARE Basic Kitchens All the Way to Custom Dynasty/Omega Diamond Cabinets Homecrest Belmont There are numerous areas throughout the Borough identified as flood hazard areas. People building in these areas without proper guidance are risking their investment. Every year many people in our community spend hundreds or thousands of extra dollars for required flood insurance.

But just because it hasnt flooded the last 10 years doesnt mean it wont flood next year. Before building, check to see if your property is in a flood hazard area. The Borough Planning Department has a copy of the Federal Insurance Rate Maps that identify the areas susceptible to flooding.

Although it looks as though your door is a perfect fit in the wall opening, there always is a gap all around the door/sidelight frame. The doorframe is shimmed in this gap and attached to the wall framing in several spots, not continuously. When there are no sidelights, each hinge has an extra-long screw that reaches the wall framing. The door molding covers this gap. There are several purposes for having a gap. It allows you, using the shims, to center and level the door if the house has settled or the wall opening is not true. It also ensures that the weight of the house is resting on the wall framing and not the doorframe. The door itself will shrink and grow with changes in the temperature and humidity level, so it needs a little room to move.

Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Friday, April 6, 2012 17 Simple fixes to keep your home running at full capacity By VICKY KATZ WHITAKER Creators.com When it comes to spring/ summer home maintenance, a little bit of time and elbow grease can translate into big savings and avoid costly repairs down the line. Everything from changing light bulbs to programming thermostats can be easily done by homeowners, experts say. Replace a simple part on an appliance, such as a burnedout stove element. Install fresh batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Check ground fault circuit interrupters. A professional may be needed to tackle some repairs, but in most cases, armed with a checklist and a pair of binoculars (to avoid climbing on the roof), you can save time and money by doing the initial inspection yourself. With a clipboard in hand, you'll want to eye the exterior of your home, basement or crawlspace for: � Sidewalk, driveway, chimney and foundation cracks, mold or mildew; � Malfunctioning sump pumps; � Clogged vent caps; � Loose or cracked deck boards or patio blocks; � Debris-filled gutters and downspouts; � Loose shingles and siding; � Gaps in window caulking, dirty windows and broken windowpanes. Vacuuming or spray cleaners can remove a winter's worth of dirt and dust accumulating inside your home on registers, return ducts, lampshades, lighting fixtures, windowsills and windowpanes. Also, thoroughly cleanse range hoods and kitchen vents of grease and dirt. Extend some small changes to in a decorative capacity as well. Think about draping furniture with lightweight slipcovers; taking down heavy winter drapes and replacing them with sheer fabric window treatments; or even applying a fresh coat of paint that captures the feel of a seaside vacation. Such changes can bring that springsummer mood indoors, says designer Sally Morse, director of Creative Services for Hunter Douglas. One of the easiest small changes involves switching incandescent light bulbs to energy-efficient compact fluorescents. It's something more and more homeowners are doing, according to a recent Harris Interactive Survey commissioned by Emerson, a global technology company. Ironically, one of the simplest small steps homeowners overlook is programming their home's existing thermostat to reflect seasonal changes, says Karl Zellmer, vice president of Emerson Climate Technologies' air conditioning division. "While more than 25 million homeowners have programmable thermostats in their homes, less than 50 percent are actually programming them," says Zellmer. "If you already have a programmable thermostat installed, the only investment needed is about 15 minutes for the initial programming and setup. If you don't have a programmable thermostat, they are relatively inexpensive and quick to install. At a minimum, with your existing thermostat, change your set point a few degrees and enjoy the reduced energy consumption." Air filters should be changed monthly, says Zellmer, "but that also depends on many factors, including what type of unit you have and whether people in your home have seasonal allergies, etc. Small things like re-caulking windows and adding insulation, curtains and awnings also can help." 18 Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Friday, April 6, 2012 Patio upgrades: Real remodels require experts By VICKY KATZ WHITAKER Creators.com Turning your patio into luxury outdoor living space is easier than you think. With some serious planning, new and affordable all-season materials, equipment, furnishings and accessories, you can convert that tired concrete slab into an attractive getaway, just steps out the back door. It's not a job for amateurs, experts say, if you want to do more than spruce up what you have with some flowerpots or a new chaise lounge. A real makeover such as adding an outdoor kitchen, new stone flooring, an outdoor fireplace and/or other upscale amenities requires forethought and detailed plans, industry sources say. In addition to underground utilities, rethinking seating needs and/or redoing landscaping, homeowners wanting to upgrade outdoor living space need to consider future expansion or existing structures such as a pool. "Nothing is worse than finding out a few years after you spend thousands of dollars on your patio that you didn't leave enough room to expand for additional seating, or that part of the patio has to be removed to install a pool or hot tub because of site constraints. Plan for future site amenities even if you don't plan to build them for some time," advises architect Christopher Colby, principal and founder of Spire Architecture and Design. "Typically, the construction of these projects is not for the weekend warrior. Items such as gas piping for grills or fire pits require the expertise of a plumber. Lighting and electrical outlets would require the expertise of an electrician. Depending on the code requirements of the town where you live, inspections for such items may be required by a licensed contractor as well," he points out. Some local municipalities also may require site plans and/or drawings. "While there is a lot of information and do-it-yourself TV shows out there to assist the average homeowner with designing outdoor space, there are also a lot of pitfalls if you choose to do it all on your own," warns Ramsey Prince, founder of Ramsey Jay Prince Designs and The Merchandise Mart, as well as a manager for the outdoor furniture manufacturer Ebel. "Contact an interior designer or landscape architect, because it is too easy and too costly to make huge mistakes simply because you didn't know better. In the end, you'll be happy you consulted a team of skilled professionals." A cosmetic upgrade can be easy as a few hundred dollars, says Prince, "but be prepared if you're doing any sort of contracting work such as gas lines, electrical, hauling or excavation. These projects will price out just like a home remodeling project." "Manufactured patio pavers for example can cost as little as a few dollars a square foot at big box supply stores to $15 to $20 a square foot for higher-end brick/ stone pavers," notes Colby. "Typically, the most expensive items will be related to specialty items that require infrastructure such as gas piping and electricity. Usually associated with these installations are the higher priced items such as custom stainless steel grills and other cooking equipment, fire pits and torches. Basic outdoor kitchen patios with manufactured pavers or stamped concrete, such as a stainless grill set in a masonry counter system can start at $7,500 to $10,000 depending on styles and finishes.

An addition that fails to meld into the addition's exterior length should not be more than 30 to the existing home can detract By MARK J. DONOVAN Creators.com 40 percent of the main home's length. Also consider recessing the addition from the front of the main home. This way, the main home still represents the main visual from the curb and the addition looks like an accent piece to it. Alternatively, you may want to consider installing the addition toward the back of the home so that the front of the home is not changed in appearance. Ensure that the addition's exterior siding and colors dovetail nicely with the existing home, so the addition looks as if it was always part of the original home. In some cases, you may want to use an exact match of house siding and color, and in other cases, you may want to select a house siding or color that contrasts nicely with the rest of the home. Finally, use similar rooflines that have the same roof pitches, soffit depths and roof eave overhangs. Also, use shingles that match the existing roof. In some cases, it may make sense to re-shingle the main part of the home when shingling the addition. Moreover, carefully consider roof dormers. Not all dormers complement a roof. Think symmetry when planning your addition's exterior and rooflines. The addition's roof should go with the home's main roof. Mark J.

Idea is good but presented in a too filmy way. Most of the actors look too old whereas heroine though young n smart lacks charm.

An Indian Hills Fire board member said he has taken heat from the community after the department canceled its annual Fourth of July fireworks show.
Board member Marc Rosenberg, who is also the department's assistant chief, said in an interview that the decision to cancel the fireworks was made by the department's members, not by board members, and that it was made for safety and cost reasons. The decision was made in April.
Evergreen Parkway is slated to get a $5.4 million resurfacing in October.
The parkway — formally known as Colorado Highway 74 — will be resurfaced from County Road 65 in Bergen Park to a spot "just above" Evergreen Lake, said Emily Wilfong, a state Department of Transportation spokeswoman. The work is to include some bridge repairs and guardrails, too, Wilfong said.
A short section of the road also will be widened on the shoulder to allow better bike access, she said, without giving details of the site.
A Morrison-area girl was taken to a hospital Wednesday evening after lightning struck a tree near her home, according to a fire department spokesman.
The girl, who was outside at the time, appeared unharmed; she was taken to the hospital out of "an abundance of caution," said Daniel Hatlestad, deputy chief of Inter-Canyon Fire.
Jeffco's county commissioners have approved rezoning to expand a storage facility in El Rancho, despite concerns of nearby residents about road access to the property.
Residents in the Nob Hill subdivision say they do not object to the expansion, but rather to increased traffic it would bring to DivideView Road — a private, unmaintained road leading to their community.
Imagine you're getting ready to travel in a covered wagon across the plains to Colorado during the mid-1800s. What would you take with you?
That question was posed to a group of 7- to 12-year-olds during Pioneerpalooza last week at the Hiwan Homestead Museum.
A community garden planned at Wilmot Elementary School has received $44,000 from Great Outdoors Colorado to help fund the project.
This second garden being developed by Evergreen's Alliance for Sustainability will offer about 30 plots for students, teachers and residents, including senior adults. The garden design features a nature-based play area for youngsters, which includes a green tunnel and rocks for climbing and sitting, as well as a sensory learning center.
After a year of development and community review, the master trails plan for Evergreen is getting final touches, Dean Dalvit of the Downtown Evergreen Economic District told the Evergreen Park and Recreation District board on June 23.
The trail system designed by OV Consulting of Denver links key sections of Evergreen for residents who enjoy walking and biking to local destinations.
Three Jeffco parents have filed paperwork seeking to recall the three school board members who make up the body's conservative majority: John Newkirk, Ken Witt and Julie Williams.
Indian Hills parent Wendy McCord, Evergreen parent Michael Blanton and Littleton parent Tina Gurdikian filed the petition format Friday afternoon, according to a news release from a recently formed advocacy group, Jeffco United for Action.
After hiking up a steep slope with two heavy containers of water, crew leader Lauren Riegler of Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado coordinated efforts to develop a trail on Saddleback Mountain on Friday.
Divided into four groups, 49 volunteers cleared overgrown sections of the trail leading to the summit and installed steps to divert water away from the path and make hiking easier. During the seven hours they worked, volunteers placed 88 check steps and worked on more than 1,000 feet of trail on the mountain, Riegler said.
Jeffco school board member Jill Fellman has decided not to run for re-election this fall, saying she wants to make her family a priority.
Fellman, a former teacher who was elected to the board in November 2011, is one of the board's two liberal members. She has often been at odds with the board's conservative majority, a fact she referenced on Facebook when announcing her decision Monday.

Printed on a very comfy light and soft cotton t-shirt. See details below. If you like the design but want it printed smaller or in a different position, just let me know and I would be happy to create a custom made shirt for you. Also available in v-neck, slim fit by American Apparel, and Organic.
Design ID: 11330275
Unique shirts inspired by art from across the world. Designs eliciting the themes and binary oppositions of good vs. evil and peace vs. politics. The idea of starting a T-shirt shop has been with me for awhile. I am really excited about finally launching the shop. I think putting art on T-shirts is a unique way to express individual taste and creativity. My goal is to provide awesome and unique shirts that you can't find anywhere else. I very much welcome any feedback from the public! The theme of the shop is the name, Binary Opposition. I have always been fascinated by this concept. Wikipedia provides a good summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_opposition What I like most about the concept of binary opposition is that it is recognized by many cultures around the world. Rarely is an idea or concept so widely accepted and recognized. More designs to come so be sure to stop back by!

Andy Pettitte is out, but Justin Verlander might be in. Pettitte bowed out of the World Baseball Classic leaving an open spot on the U.S. squad that is in need of another starting pitcher. And according to CBSSports.com, Verlander "would love to be on the team." Verlander is expected to make a decision by Feb. 20. The final decision is based on how Verlander progresses during the early portion of spring training. The decision will be Erlanger's and not the Tigers. If he does join the U.S. team, Verlander will join a rotation that includes R.A. Dickey, Derek Holland and Ryan Volgelsong. Jake Peavy is also believed to be a candidate to join the team.

All-new episodes of KITCHEN NIGHTMARES, the unscripted series featuring Chef Gordon Ramsay helping fledging restaurants turn their luck and their businesses around, will start cooking Friday, Oct. 26 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. TOUCH, the critically acclaimed adventure drama starring Emmy Award winner Kiefer Sutherland ("24") will now have its second season premiere in January 2013 (date and time to be announced).
In the fifth season of KITCHEN NIGHTMARES, Gordon Ramsay treks to Brooklyn, Boston, Pittsburgh and the suburbs of Los Angeles and Cleveland, to help struggling restaurants stay afloat. Each week, Chef Ramsay will visit a new establishment with myriad problems. He will delve deep into the inner workings of each eatery and explore everything from unsanitary refrigerators to lazy and inexperienced staff in order to diagnose the real problems. Whether he changes the restaurant's operations, updates the menu or gives the establishment a complete makeover, Chef Ramsay will do whatever it takes to try and turn these restaurants into popular, successful and, most importantly, money-making businesses. It's up to the restaurant owners to take his advice and use it – or face closure.
In Season Two of TOUCH, the story setting shifts from New York to Los Angeles, where single father MARTIN BOHM (Kiefer Sutherland) and his gifted son, JAKE (David Mazouz), are on the run from the mysterious and possibly sinister research facility Aster Corps, which had shown tremendous interest in exploiting Jake's ability to perceive the hidden patterns that connect people around the world. After arriving on the West Coast, the father-son team met distraught mother LUCY ROBBINS (Maria Bello, "ER") and now are determined to help find her missing – and equally gifted – daughter AMELIA (newcomer Saxon Sharbino). During their search, their paths will cross with Aster Corps' genius, CALVIN NORBURG (Lukas Haas, "24"), who's rumpled exterior masks his true colors, as well as a complicated and intense religious zealot, GUILLERMO ORTIZ (Said Taghmaoui, "G.I. Joe: The Rise of The Cobra").
KITCHEN NIGHTMARES is a co-production of ITV Studios America and Optomen in association with A. Smith & Co. Productions, Inc.

You guys are NOT looking at this properly. Do you really want to spend $10 on a slasher movie that only lasts 10 minutes? Think about it.
LOFL... awesome.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
You cannot choose the conditions for a gunfight, so train in all conditions!

I hate those home alarm commercials where the family runs to hide in the bedroom when a BG breaks a window...within 1.5 seconds the alarm company calls and ask if there is a problem. The people say someone tried to break in, but the alarm company assures them that help will be summoned quickly...yeah, right!
How much better this this commercial would be after the BG is filled with lead and when the alarm company calls the blond simplies thanks the alarm company for calling, but she has already 'eliminated' the problem...just contact a coroner.
The latter is MUCH better.

ah thats great. what wonderful advertising.
I love it!!! I don't know where I would put all my free rocks however!
"Gun Free Zones" is where only criminals carry guns.
There was a thread in another section of the forum asking if you found women who shoot more appealing or something like that. That lady shooter was definately appealing and she could shoot too.
It's not what you go thru in life, but how well you go thru it.
I remember a slasher movie where a fellow decides on a victim because she posed for Playboy. He calls her up and the gal in a panic asks the perp why he is doing this? He says because he wants to see her insides. She says turn to page 84.
Cracks me up every time...
