I f its time to think about making some improvements or additions to your home outside may be the best place to get started Exterior additions and improve-

ments are high on homeowners lists

Among the top ranking features people want in their next homes are decks or patios and low-maintenance exteriors When it comes to the top ranking living spaces people want outdoor grilling or living areas came in at 67 percent So whether you want to make some improve-ments for selling your home or just to enjoy for yourself here are some tips to help you plan the perfect outdoor oasis

Define the SpaceAn outdoor room could be the entire yard or just a

small part of it Think about it having walls a ceiling and flooring just like an indoor room

u Walls are vertical elements that help define a space such as hedges trees lattice screens raised garden beds railings a gazebo or fence to frame your space

u Ceilings provide shelter and shade Think of aw-nings umbrellas and pergolas Or use whats naturally

there like the branches of a shade tree

u Flooring could be the existing lawn a mulched pathway or a created floor such as a concrete or flagstone patio or deck

Decide the Elements Once you know where your oasis is its time to figure

out what needs to go in it Here are some elements to consider

Decking A low-maintenance composite deck adds versatility

and beauty that you can customize to meet just about any need And it can pay off too Composite deck additions are among the projects that recoup the most of their cost upon home resale

u When planning a deck dont make the mistake of building one thats too small Mark the area you want to use then put your outdoor furniture in it to see if you have the space you need

u Use an online planning tool to explore designs materials colors and accessories

place to cook and eat

u An outdoor kitchen can be as simple as a portable grill or as elaborate as your budget will allow A DIY piz-za oven can also be a fun way to enjoy cooking outside

u Fireplaces fire pits and chimineas bring coziness along with great function - and they help extend the out-door enjoyment in cooler weather

AccessoriesJust like indoor rooms outdoor rooms benefit from

appropriate accessories Make sure you plan for them in your budget as well as in your designs

u Lighting - Landscape lighting lanterns candles or strings of white outdoor lights can all add beautiful ambi-ence

u Sound - Add pleasing audio with outdoor stereo sound systems trickling water features or even just simple wind chimes

u Color - Garden art tablescapes container plant-ings and fabric can put colorful finishing touches on your outdoor room

FOR ALL YOUR KITCHEN amp BATH REMODELING NEEDS

By Sandy lsquoLadybugrsquo HonessLadybug Pest Management

As exciting as looking for a new home can be (buying or renting) it can also be extremely stressful Diligent house hunters need to also be on alert for pest infestations Sometimes pests can be the last thing on your mind or you may not be sure what to look for Most of the time we are looking at potential roof leaks faulty wiring and hanging insulation - many of which can lead to pest problems

Bugs are good at hiding so watch out for these red flags

1 Live bugsAlways check the kitchen bathroom base-

ment attic and outdoors Ants especially love to

hide under rocks andor in the mulch up against the house Many times you can even find their trails which can eventually lead or do lead into the home

2 Pest droppingsMice droppings and even rat droppings can

resemble small black rice sized pieces Rat droppings are larger than mouse droppings Bed bugs can leave fecal spotting like spilled pepper on baseboards and walls mainly in the bedroom areas Cockroach egg casings can be visible Educate yourself on some of the common pests by ldquogooglingrdquo them online

3 Dead bugsCheck window sills and basements Large

accumulations of dead bugs normally mean they

Beware of unwanted guests in your new home


live on the property Keep an eye out for spider webs Vacuum down when you see them

4 Odd odorssmellsPest experts claim that mice give off a musty

urine smell and rats smell like ammonia Roach-es have an oily odor

5 Evidence of gnaw marks or nesting mate-rial

Micerats will make nests out of whatever material they can gather (shredded paper is a favorite) Also keep an eye out for chewing or gnaw marks throughout the home

6 Signs of termitesCheck the wood in the home Note any

visible holes or sagging floors Shed wings of termites or the fecal pellets that look like saw-dust may be signs of an infestation If buying a home a termite inspection is typically required by a professional

7 Outdoor inspection Check for ant hills or mole tunnels (lines of mounds throughout the yard) Also if you are near a pond or wa-

ter mosquitoes may be an issue Get rid of any standing or stagnant water near the home Dam-aged plants near the home or patterns of lawn damage may be signs of a pest infestation

These are just a few tips as to what to be on the lookout for when checking out your potential new home Ladybug Pest Management recommends a thorough outside perimeter and crawl space spraying of your home before moving in or shortly thereafter by a licensed and professional pest management company

FaMiLy Features

Designing outdoor living areas comes with its share of challenges Understanding the basics from the ground up simplifies the process

The patio is more than a hard surface It can serve as the outdoor roomrsquos focal point around which other materials and features are styled

The textures and shapes of stone flooring can lend a dimen-sional feel while a deckrsquos color allows it to contrast or blend with the environment

When planning the floor spac-ing is the most important com-

ponent Determining up front if a dining area or outdoor kitchen is desired and how many people the space will accommodate are key considerations The patio should be planned to house these instal-lations

Patios along with outdoor structures provide exterior spaces with foundational dimensions and protected placements for furniture and accessories ldquoFoundations delineate the room and establish the space that belongs to the room and that which does notrdquo says Sarah Kinbar editor of Garden Design magazine a leading out-door design publication ldquoEdges

and boundaries created by founda-tions are the outdoorrsquos answer to wallsrdquo

Outdoor product manufactur-ers offer exterior structures fur-nishings fabrics and designs to provide permanent enhancements that increase property values Through a recent partnership the outdoor room innovators at Wal-pole Woodworkers and ShadeFX Canopies unveiled versatility and quality as top priorities for outdoor spaces As a result the two com-panies launched a line of shade pergolas that combine cellular vinyl pergolas with retractable and integrated canopy systems

ldquoAs a design element shade pergolas moder-ate the transition from indoors to outdoorsrdquo ex-plains Steve Ostrowski president of ShadeFX Canopies ldquoThe structure defines the space and provides a sense of privacy that makes dining tables and cushioned furniture feel more appro-priate in outdoor areasrdquo

Shade pergolas offer homeowners the ability to create sanctuaries that are covered from rain protected from sun impervious against wind and immune from the stresses of daily life Since the canopies are retractable homeowners can switch from sun to shade at their leisure The cellular vinyl pergolas are a low- to no-maintenance realistic wood alternative and last more than 25 years The durable canopies offer 10 to 15 years of use

ldquoWith their height depth and width us-ing shade pergolas adds dimension and substance to outdoor roomsrdquo says Lou Maglio president of Walpole Woodworkers ldquoOutdoor structures such as these can re-flect and enhance the integrity of a homersquos architectural stylerdquo

When adding an outdoor structure a homeowner should first decide where in the landscape to place it keeping in mind views from interior windows sunlight and proximity to the home ldquoTypical retractable awnings extend less than 16 feet and a shade pergola can be used to cover a large area up to 600 square-feetrdquo says

Ostrowski ldquoA design decision is whether it should be af-fixed to or separate from the houserdquo

The remaining outdoor living area should be designed like any interior implementing function and cohesive style Outdoor fabrics and accessories should reveal personality while adopting juxtaposed colors textures and lines that translate easily as if the interior naturally extends outdoors

According to Kinbar outdoor rooms have always ex-isted they are becoming more defined as new products arrive on the market that make these spaces as livable as indoor rooms

Electrical mistakes can be the most costly

FaMiLy Features

Whether yoursquore remodeling your home for resale or to improve it for your own enjoyment safety during the process is a key

concern But one thing that often gets overlooked is the safety of the homersquos electrical system

Each year electrical fires claim approximately 485 lives and cause $868 million in property damage If yoursquore planning on doing any home improvement take some time to make sure your home is wired for safety

Many remodeling projects impact the homersquos electrical system tearing down a wall putting one up adding lighting fixtures moving wall receptacles or replac ing the wiring Before you get started make sure you have a clear idea of what your electrical needs will be and how you can meet them

Homeowners should obtain the appropriate permits and have the work inspected as called for in local code requirements Check with your local government to find out what the requirements are in your area an impor tant note some jobs are best done by a qualified electrician mdash itrsquos better to consult one early in the planning stages than to try and take on a dangerous job by yourself

Electrical Plan Lighting adding or changing the lighting plan for a room requires electrical work

n What kind of lighting will you use Ceiling fixtures wall-mounted fixtures and recessed lights all need interior wiring table or floor lamps need outlets

n Will you be changing to a dimmer switch or adding additional switches

n Is there proper support for the new fixtures

Electronics think through the electronic devices that will be used in the room and make sure you have the proper electrical service for those needs and protection for the devices such as surge protectorsn Computers and peripheral equipmentn Televisions DVD or Blu-ray players gaming

systemsn Power tools

Appliances and other equipment adding a bathroom or wet bar adds to your electrical needs

the electrical needs associated with a bigger remodeling project may require the installation of additional circuits to the homersquos existing load center

This is a job best done by a qualified electrician

Do a Box Checkthe electrical safety Foundation international (esFi) recommends checking your fuse box or circuit breaker regularly mdash the start of a remodel project is an excellent time to look for the following

n Is your fuse box or circuit breaker box appropriately labeled Labeling helps to easily identify what circuits power each room in your home

n are you regularly resetting tripped circuit breakers Circuit breakers that are constantly tripping indicate that the circuit is overloaded or that other electrical hazards exist Consult a qualified licensed electrician

n is your home protected by arc Fault Circuit interrupters (aFCis) aFCis are devices that replace standard circuit breakers in the electrical service panel and that greatly reduce the risk of home electrical fires

Arc Faults and AFCIsArc faults occur from damaged wiring overheated or

stressed electrical cords worn electrical insulation wires andor cords in contact with vibrating metal damaged electrical appliances and other conditions

This potentially dangerous situation creates high-intensity heat mdash which may exceed 10000 degrees Fahrenheit mdash resulting in burning particles that can easily ignite surrounding material such as wood framing or insulation

aFCis are special circuit breakers that detect electrical arcing they are designed to recognize when arc faults occur and automatically shut the circuit down before it becomes a fire hazard AFCI technology is already required in all new home construction according to the National electrical Code However aFCis can also be retrofitted to older homes where older wiring and outdated electrical work may increase the threat of an electrical fire

if you are interested in having aFCi protection added to your home consult a qualified licensed electrician aFCis can be found at electrical distributors hardware stores and home centers across the country for approximately $30 to $35 each not including the cost of installation which is essentially the same as a standard circuit breaker

When it comes to remodeling put the safety of your family and home first Investigating and preventing potential electrical hazards lets you enjoy your improved home with peace of mind

Your grass can be greener When you feed your lawn is important

Grass is like any other living thing it needs nutrients to grow strong Just like humans need several small meals so does your lawn Here is a menu to help you make your green space great

Early spring Feeding your lawn in the spring

is the lunch that strengthens roots and gets it off to a good start before the heavy growing season if you have had crab grass in the past now is the time to apply a combination fertilizer with a pre-emergent to control it

Late spring Grass is busy growing and

using up stored energy if you are

bothered by the dandelions and other weeds popping up use a weed and feed combination product that gives the lawn nutrients and helps control broadleaf weeds if your lawn has only a few weeds use a liquid spot weed treatment if weeds donrsquot bother you a dinner of lawn food is great to continue keeping your lawn strong

Summer Heat drought foot traffic and

insects can stress grass out your lawn might appreciate a snack to help protect and strengthen it against these problems

if weeds or bugs donrsquot bother you or arenrsquot a problem in your

lawn you can substitute an application of a straight lawn fertilizer for any of the meals on the menu above

To find out how to take care of your lawn year-round visit Soil service at 177 New street seaford just off High street

Fall think of fall as the breakfast

for your grass the most important meal of the day Many experts say this is the single most important lawn feeding of the year Feeding right before the winter months gives your grass nutri ents to recover from summer damage and increase nitrogen storage for an early spring green-up next year

Wood is one of the most beauti-ful floorings you can choose for your home No other flooring offers the warmth beauty and value of wood There are not only countless colors available but there are also many dif-available but there are also many dif-available but there are also many different species as well each with their unique characteristics

This is why choosing the right wood floor to meet your specific taste and decor needs can be a chal-lenge According to Michel Collin Marketing Director of Mercier Wood Flooring there are a few key factors to consider when choosing wood flooring First you should consider the finished look you want to achieve for your decor Its always best to start with your floor when decorat-ing advised Collin If you want a modern or contemporary look you should consider wood species that have a cleaner look with less texture and grain such as Maple Birch or Cherry If you prefer a more rustic

look then White Ash or Oak would be best

Another factor to consider is the type of furniture you select for the rooms If its wood furniture its im-portant to ensure it doesnt clash with your new wood floor You can either match the wood furniture to the floor or you can opt for a contrast which gives a very nice look he added Dark mahogany oak or cherry furni-ture for example will show up much better on a light colored wood floor than it would on a dark wood floor

There are also many different sizes of width and lengths of wood flooring available to consider Keep in mind smaller widths and shorter lengths will give off a busier look since there will be more variation while wider widths and longer lengths tend to open up the look of a room

Then theres the finish Solid hard-wood floors come either unfinished or prefinished

How to choose the right wood flooring for your home decor

Trends to watchNorth American hardwoods like

red oak maple and walnut are tra-ditional favorites but more exotic woods are gaining popularity today

ldquoOur South American wood species like Santos Mahogany and Brazilian Cherry are sought after by discerning homeowners for their rich tones beautiful grains and su-perior hardnessrdquo Collin added

Another popular trend is toward engineered wood flooring a veneer of hardwood in the species of your choice glued on top of three to seven thin sheets of wood

Solid wood will expand or contract with heat and moisture whereas engineered wood flooring because itrsquos made of crossbanded layers of wood offers more dimen-sional stability Itrsquos ideal for kitch-ens and basements where moisture is a factor

Gardening is a rewarding hobby with thousands of devotees Backyard gardens

provide beauty and aesthetic appeal to a landscape and they can be a source of homegrown food and a natural habitat for outdoor wildlife A self-sustaining garden can be an efficient addition to any home but gardens require upkeep and a certain measure of dedication A self-suffi-cient garden is a garden that sustains itself through proper planning and execution Such gardens can almost take care of themselves so long as the soil is healthy soil the seeds are reused and organic material is produced

When planting your own self-sustaining garden consider the following tips

bull Start with soil Healthy soil is essential to a thriving garden The soil must have the right pH correct texture and composition and be full

of nutrients Very often the native soil in yards is not adequate to keep a garden thriving In such instances the soil needs to be improved Adding compost -- which can be produced in the yard as well -- to the soil will enrich the soil with ni-trogen phosphorous and potassium

bull Maintain proper soil consisten-cy Soil that is the right consistency meaning the optimum balance of sand clay and actual soil is another necessity for a self-sustaining gar-den The ideal ratio should be 40 percent sand 40 percent silt and 20 percent clay Having the right bal-ance of soil can secure root forma-tion and promote proper drainage

bull Test the pH Certain plants need a specific pH in order to grow A neutral pH range is typically ideal for growing vegetables A pH tester can be purchased from a gardening center Amend the soil accordingly to get the soil back to its correct

levelbull Know the growing season

Vegetables should be planted dur-ing the season in which they will thrive Peas beets and cabbage for example are cold-temperature veg-etables while cucumbers squash and melons thrive in warm climates Plant accordingly so that the veg-etables will have the best chances for success

bull Purchase quality seeds Use fresh seeds particularly ones that have been harvested from your own garden the year before to have the best chances for germination Or buy seeds from a reputable source like a local garden center

bull Start seedlings indoors You may want to work with seedlings indoors so that you can monitor growth and care for them more easily Then transplant the seedlings outside when they are stable enough for the elements

Plant a self-sustaining garden


Home improvement projects seem to drum up images of shyster contrac-tors or bumbling do-it-yourselfers

However home repairs dont have to turn into an unorganized mess By avoiding some common mistakes and taking common-sense precautions you can end up with renovations that wow

1 Accepting the lowest bid Smart homeowners shop around for every-thing --including work done on their home But accepting the lowest bid right off the bat to save money may cost you more in the long run A low bid certainly may be a great deal

But generally it could be a sign of an inexperienced contractor or one who plans to use subpar materials or skimp on the job Contractors will have similar prices Shop based on experience and recommendations not price alone

2 Choosing friends and family There certainly are skilled professionals that also may be a close friend or fam-ily member But mixing business and pleasure could be a recipe for trouble especially when workmanship and an exchange of money are involved

We had a friend replace our homes furnace says Beth in Pennsylvania While we got a great price we found out later on when there was a glitch in the system that certain things werent done up to code We had to spend more money to have it repaired and the friendship has since suffered

Some relatives are adamant about doing repairs but they may not be skilled or know the correct laws govern-ing remodeling Stick with a third party contractor with whom youll feel com-fortable talking if you feel repairs need

Home-repair mistakes to avoid to give you peace of mind

to be done a certain way3 Thinking you can handle it Many

do-it-yourselfers (generally in an at-tempt to save money) believe they can learn every DIY task from a book or magazine There are some jobs how-ever that should be left to the profes-sionals including major plumbing work or electrical repairs Theres no need to risk a fire injury or death by doing inexperienced electrical modifications

4 Letting maintenance slide Many homeowners think once the repair is made that theyre all set --failing to keep up with routine maintenance But complications can arise by not main-taining a new appliance or keeping up with an improvement

Our homeowners association re-quired proof that the dryer venting for our clothes dryer was replaced on an annual basis offers Bill in California Id simply go out and buy a new box of the venting material and submit

the receipt as proof so I could save the money on a professional installa-tion But one day the lint trapped in the venting which I hadnt bothered to change caught on fire It not only dam-aged the venting it damaged the entire dryer -- resulting in the purchase of a new dryer Luckily no one was hurt Ive since learned my lesson

5 Following every trend Anyone who has a harvest gold or avocado green appliance collecting dust in the garage or basement knows how inte-rior style choices come and go

Instead of jumping on every trend (granite countertops and stainless steel refrigerator for example) think about what will work for your home and be

timeless Otherwise you may end up having to update every few years

6 Asking questions later Make a list of every question you can think of and ask it before the work gets started This way youre left with few surprises and can do changes without costing your-self time and money Dont wait for the finished product before you start to question the hows and whys

7 Expecting things to be perfect If you go into a project with the idea that there will be no mishaps even minor ones you may end up stressed out when one arises Everyone makes mis-takes --even professionals If you think something is not being done correctly speak up or get a second opinion


Few things are better than having a functional and beautiful outdoor space to entertain guests Having a great outdoor space enables a person

to host parties or intimate gatherings all year long Establishing an entertaining space and maintaining that space are essential when planning another year of fun in the sun

There are many things homeowners can do to ensure their entertaining space is safe and functional As the season approaches include some landscaping and deco-rating components to your preparatory plans to make the space as comfortable and aesthetically appealing as possible

Here are a few key tips for readying your yard for entertaining possibilities Expand on these basics to customize an area for your unique needs

bull Check the area for any needed repairs Prior to your first entertaining session look over the deck or patio to take note of any flaws that may present safety hazards Are there any loose railings Are all screws and nails flush so they do not cause tripping Are there any cracks in concrete or loose patio blocks Be sure to remedy all of the repairs needed to ensure guests will be safe If you are unsure of any structural deficits consult with a contractor

bull Hire a reputable contractor If you are just laying the groundwork for a new patio or deck it is important to get the necessary permits and then hire a person who has been properly vetted Check qualifications and licensing before hiring a contractor and ask to view a portfolio of his or her previous work Word-of-mouth recommendations from trusted friends and family mem-bers are good and you can also double-check qualifica-tions by contacting the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been lodged or use a service such as Angiersquos List to read reviews of his or her work

bull Think about closing in a portion of a deck or patio The use of a canopy netting or even greenery to protect an entertaining space can help minimize weather-related damage to outdoor furniture Netting will keep a good number of biting insects at bay when the weather is warm and humid Having a bit of concealment also means you can create a private space that isnrsquot easily viewed by neighbors or passersby

bull Plan well-defined areas Just as rooms serve dif-ferent purposes inside of the home outdoor areas can be separated according to usage Establish a sitting nook where guests can gather and talk Have a bar or serving area where refreshments are made and served Make sure there is a shaded area for when the sun is too

Prepare a deck or patio for entertaining

uncomfortable to make sitting outside enjoyable Simi-larly have a sunny area where people can soak up a few rays or dry off after a dip in the spa or pool Donrsquot forget to establish a spot for the kids to converge with scaled-down amenities

bull Consider a fireplace or fire pit For centuries man (and woman) has gathered around fire for socialization and a means to warming up Having a backyard fireplace pit or chiminea is a conversation-starter a decorative focal point and a functional tool to extend the num-ber of seasons in which outdoor entertaining can take place Place the fire wisely and with concern for safety It should be out of the way of foot traffic but central enough so that it can be a gathering point

bull Invest in quality outdoor furniture Todayrsquos yards are extensions of a homersquos interior Guests no longer want to sit on uncomfortable metal or plastic furniture There are many different outdoor sofas and chairs that are as stylish as they are comfortable These pieces can be matched to the decor inside your home for a cohesive look

bull Accessorize Consider the creature comforts of indoors and mimic that outdoors Donrsquot shy away from hanging artwork on an exterior wall or using urns or pottery to decorate the space Weather-resistant materials ensure everything from clocks to televisions can be used outdoors Think about having an entire set of serving dishes and other entertaining items for the outdoors

When refurbishing outdoor entertaining areas empha-size comfort safety and functionality
