Consider moisture issues
when choosing insulation
(MS) By Scott McGillivray
We insulate our homes primarily to keep them warm in
the winter and cool in the
summer. As a result, most of
us evaluate insulation based
on its thermal properties,
which is definitely important
to consider. However, there is
another aspect of wall and
ceiling insulation that should
be considered before making
a final decision, and that’s
moisture. If you choose the
wrong insulation, moisture
can seriously damage the
long-term performance of the
insulation, drastically reducing the benefits it offers to
your home.
Although wall and ceiling
cavities may be out of sight
after a home is built, they are
very important spaces in residential construction and
remodeling projects. They
play a critical role in managing the interior temperature,
noise level, air-flow and mold
levels. It is important that the
insulation in the walls and
ceilings works just as well
years after installation as it
does the day after the project
is completed. This means that
the insulation needs to stay
consistent over time -- any
sagging, compressing or rotting will compromise the
safety and comfort of your
home.
To combat these potential
problems, look for insulation
that does not absorb water,
but repels it. Stone wool insulation, like that produced by
Roxul, is a good choice.
Water-resistance is important
year-round, but especially in
summer, when humidity levels rise, and in spring and
fall, when rain and moisture
levels can increase dramatically. It’s vital that your insulation won’t compress or sag
within the wall or ceiling cav-

ity, because when insulation
materials compress and sag,
they leave gaps, compromising the thermal performance
of the wall. Cold, heat and
sound can pass through
much more easily, creating a
living space that’s less comfortable and more expensive
to heat and cool.
Another important consideration when choosing insulation is mold resistance.
Materials that resist mold
growth, like stone wool, are
essential to the health of your
home and family. Because
mold feeds on organic matter,
selecting an insulation that is
composed of nonorganic matter is ideal to prevent rot.
Keeping moisture and mold
at bay with a quality insulation will contribute to a safer
indoor environment and provide energy savings and comfort benefits that can last for
the lifetime of a home.

Creative ways to recycle leaves
Leaves cascading down
from trees indicate the arrival
of autumn. However, colorful
and awe-inspiring autumn
leaves can be a hazard if left
to lie on the ground too long.
Fallen leaves form a dense
insulator to protect trees’
roots and prevent competing
plants from growing.
Decomposing leaves also
provide nutrients for the tree.
But wet leaves can be a safety hazard and leaves left on
the lawn through the winter
can pose a threat to the
grass. These are just a couple
of reasons why so much
effort is placed on leaf cleanup in the fall. The following
are some creative ways to
recycle leaves that fall from
your trees in the weeks to
come.
■ Mulch: Shredded leaves
can make for a great amendment to fertilizer for garden
beds and even the lawn.
Leaves lying on the grass can
be mulched into small pieces
with a mulching mower so
they don’t choke the blades
of grass. Leaves also can be
broken down with a string
trimmer, a leaf blower that
has a vacuum function or a
■ Insulation: Collect leaves
to mound over delicate
perennial plants and shrubs.
The leaves will add more
warmth to the soil and may
help plants make it through
commercial shredder/chipper. Add the shredded leaves
to a compost pile or use
them to fill container plants
before adding regular potting
soil.

harsh winters. Just remove
the leaves slowly when spring
arrives so that the soil underneath can get the sunlight
and water it needs to thrive.
Leave some leaves in the
yard so that animals can use
them as nesting material and
line their dens for the winter.
■ Stuffing: Create whimsical scarecrows as part of your
autumn decoration scheme.
Gather older clothes that you
no longer use and stuff the
sleeves of shirts and the legs
of pants with leaves, which
are less expensive and easier
to come by than straw. Use a
few pieces of straw around
the neck and hand areas of
the scarecrow for visual
effect. Tie off with twine and
display your scarecrow.
■ Bedding: Chicken owners
can use fallen leaves as bedding in their chicken coops.
Dry leaves also may create
more comfortable and drier
conditions for goats and
other livestock. Goats may
look to recently fallen leaves
as a nutritious food source.
Gather the leaves and let the
goats munch before you fur-
ther rake and compost the
leaves.
■ Decorations: Natural
leaves can be used as decorations both inside and outside
a home. String freshly fallen
leaves together and wrap
them around a grapevine
wreath for a rustic door decoration. Leaves can be placed
in clear vases and put on display for a cheap way to
showcase some autumn
color. Preserve favorite leaves
with a lamination machine or
by sealing them between
heated sheets of waxed
paper. Cut out the leaf shapes
and use for hanging window
decorations.
■ Recreation: Leaves have
long been favorite toys for
children, who eagerly await
jumping into large piles of
fallen leaves. Fill paper bags
with leaves and draw a target
on the front. Let kids test
their skill aiming for the targets. Children can camouflage their clothing with
leaves and masking tape and
have a more intense session
of “hide and seek.”

4 simple ways to
winterize your home
As winter approaches,
homeowners know they must
do certain things to ready
their homes for the coming
months. Wrapping up the
grill and closing the pool are
no-brainers, but homeowners
also must prioritize winterizing their homes to ensure
homes withstand the winter.
Winterizing tasks range
from small to big, but each
can protect a home and its
inhabitants and some can
even save homeowners a substantial amount of money.
The following are four simple
ways to winterize your home.
Peru - Newer Victorian home on 26 acres of timber and
farmland, outbuildings for horses or storage, 4 bedroom, 4
full baths, hardwood flooring, wooded hillsides, secluded
location close to city, small second dwelling included
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$399,000 MLS#08946472
1. PLUG LEAKS
Leaky windows and doorways can cost homeowners
money year-round, allowing
cold air to escape on hot
summer afternoons and letting cold air in on brisk winter nights. When such leaks
aren’t fixed, homeowners are
more liable to turn up their
air conditioners or heaters,
unnecessarily padding their
energy bills along the way.
Before winter arrives, check
areas around windows and
door frames for leaks, as well
as any additional openings,
such as chimneys, that may
allow cold air in. Use caulk
or weather strips to plug
these leaks, and enjoy your
warmer home and lower
energy bills as winter weather
gets colder and colder.
2. INSPECT YOUR CHIMNEY
If your home has a chimney, chances are you have
not used it since last winter.
During that time, the chimney has likely accumulated
some dirt and grime, and
may even have served as
home to some uninvited critters. As the season for fireside chats approaches, have
your chimney serviced by a
professional so it’s ready for
use and you are not greeted

by some unwanted guests
upon lighting your first fire.
Trimming hanging branches and
removing debris from their yards is
one simple way homeowners can
prepare their properties for winter.
When you no longer need to
water the lawn and when
temperatures get too cold to
wash your car in the driveway, be sure to shut off the
water supply to outdoor spigots and sprinkler systems.
Once you do that, drain them
so no water is sitting in the
pipes when temperatures dip.
There are many ways to
winterize a home, and homeowners should take every
precaution necessary to
ensure their homes are safe
and warm as the cold weather season approaches.

4. TURN OFF OUTDOOR WATER
SUPPLIES
When temperatures get
especially low, pipes with
water still in them can freeze
and burst, potentially leading
to significant water damage.

3. CLEAR THE YARD
Autumn days, particularly
late autumn days, can be
gusty, and strong winds can
cause branches to fall off
trees. Branches big and small
can cause damage to cars,
siding and roofs, and smaller
branches can get clogged in
gutters, potentially causing
gutters to back up and leading to leaky roofs that damage a home’s interior. Take a
walk around your property at
least once per week during
the fall, clearing any fallen
limbs and trimming branches
that appear one strong gust
away from falling off of trees.
Remove any branches that
are hanging over your home
and driveway so they don’t
pose a threat to your house
or vehicles.
