Simple steps to a greener lawn
Homeowners should understand the benefits of mulch.
Make the most
of mulching
Lawns and gardens can often benefit from the laying of
mulch. Mulch serves various
purposes in lawns and gardens, and many experienced
lawn and garden enthusiasts
lay mulch to ensure their properties make it through spring,
summer and fall unscathed.
First-time homeowners
with little or no landscaping
experience may not understand the benefits of mulch,
which can be used to strengthen soil and protect properties
from the elements.
WHAT IS MULCH?
Mulch refers to a material
spread around or over a plant
to enrich and/or insulate its
soil. Many homeowners prefer mulch made of wood chips,
which is both effective and
readily available. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that organic mulches,
which include leaves, wood
chips, compost or grass clippings, can be used by homeowners who want to develop
eco-friendly landscapes.
WHY MULCH?
Mulching can benefit plants
around a property in various
ways. Many people lay mulch
because the mulch helps soil
retain moisture in the summer, when temperatures tend
to be at their hottest. This can
help plants survive summer
heat waves.
Mulch also can be used to
suppress weeds. Weeds, which
steal moisture plants need to
build strong roots and survive
summer, need light to grow.
When laid correctly, mulch deprives weeds of the light they
need to grow. Organic mulches can even provide homes for
crickets and a type of beetle
that feed on weed seeds.
Mulch also can deter harmful pests depending on the
type of mulch homeowners
choose.
When purchasing mulch,
homeowners will have to
choose between the aforementioned organic mulch or
man-made mulches, which
may be made of plastic or
rubber. While man-made
mulches may repel pests, they
also can have adverse effects.
Plastic, for example, can heat
up in the summer and cause
plants to burn. Certain organic
mulches can repel insects that
can threaten plants. That’s because the majority of organic
mulches increase the amount
of beneficial bacteria in the
soil, and they also increase the
presence of helpful insects that
do not pose a threat to plant
life. Those helpful insects help
keep harmful insects at bay.
Compost is a type of organic
mulch that may attract harmful insects. While that does not
mean homeowners should shy
away from using compost as
mulch, they should know that
they may need to employ organic insecticides to combat
their unwanted guests.
Mulch is a potentially valuable tool homeowners can use
to improve the look and health
of their properties.
Many homeowners aspire to have lush green lawns.
Thriving, healthy lawns can
make homeowners proud and
improve their property values, as the lawns make homes
more attractive to prospective
buyers when those homes hit
the market. While lush lawns
won’t suddenly appear overnight, homeowners can take
certain steps toward creating
the stunning green lawns of
their dreams.
• Don’t overreact to brown
lawns. Lawns can turn brown
for various reasons, but overreacting at the first sign of
brown grass can make the
situation worse. Some lawns
turn brown because they have
gone dormant to save energy
for the cooler and more damp
days to come. Applying fertilizer in such situations can
damage rather than revitalize
lawns. Fertilizers or chemicals
applied to brown lawns may
burn the lawn, creating additional stress that potentially
hinders the lawns’ recovery.
• Aerate compacted soil.
Compacted soil may be the
culprit behind discolored
lawns. Over time, soils of all
kinds can become compacted,
which prevents moisture from
reaching a lawn’s roots. As a
result, the roots don’t grow and
the grass is denied the nutrients it needs to thrive. Aeration
combats compacted soil by
poking tiny holes in the ground
to loosen the soil. Speak with
a landscaping professional
about the best time to aerate,
which typically only needs to
be done once per year. As compacted soil becomes looser,
the lawn will become more resistant to drought and begin to
resemble the lush green lawn
you’re aiming for.
• Raise your mower blades.
Some homeowners set their
mower blades to the lowest
possible setting so they can
extend the intervals between
cuts and reduce the number
of times they mow in the hot
summer sun. But cutting the
grass too short exposes the
soil to the sun, making it difficult for soil to retain moisture
and promote deep, strong
plant roots. When raising the
blades, inspect them to make
sure they are still sharp. Dull

blades won’t cut the grass as
cleanly as sharp ones, potentially causing tears in grass
blades that invite disease and
contribute to poor moisture
retention.
• Address pest problems.
Pests are unwanted guests
who affect lawns in various
ways, depending on the type
of pest. Grubs feed on grass
roots, while mites feed on the
nutrient-rich juices that lawns
need to thrive. Speak with
a landscaping professional
about your pest problems before attempting to combat
the problem on your own.
Letting a pest problem fester
may force you to replace the
lawn entirely, but addressing
it promptly can likely save you
both the cost and heartache
associated with such a project.

Add curb appeal
to your property
Many people are familiar
with the idea that a strong first
impression can go a long way.
While that idea is most often
referenced in regard to personal interactions, it’s also applicable to real estate.
When selling a home,
homeowners who emphasize
curb appeal may find it far
easier to sell their homes. Curb
appeal refers to the impression a home’s exterior makes
on people seeing the home for
the first time.
In 2014, the online real
estate database Zillow® surveyed real estate agents and
found that curb appeal was
one of the five most important factors when selling a
home.
Projects that improve curb
appeal can be vast undertakings or simpler projects, and
the following are a handful of
projects to improve a home’s
curb appeal that run the
gamut from simple to complex.
• Clean up the yard. Cleaning up the yard is among the
simpler yet most effective
projects to improve a home’s
curb appeal. When selling
their homes, homeowners
should clear the yard of any
clutter, including kids’ toys,
grass clippings or items that
might be scattered throughout
the yard.
A cluttered yard suggests
homeowners do not care
much about their home’s appearance, and that may lead
buyers to think that indifference extended to maintaining
the home’s interior as well.
Many buyers will ignore properties without any external
aesthetic appeal, but cleaning
up the yard does not require
much effort or expense on the
part of sellers.
• Make the main entryway
more inviting. Creating a more
inviting entryway won’t be as
simple as cleaning up the yard,
but it can help create a strong
first impression without
breaking the bank. To begin,
remove plants and furniture
from the front porch or area
surrounding the doorway, as
such items can create a cluttered feel. If the front door is
old, replace it.
Custom doors may be expensive, but they might add
the wow factor buyers are
looking for.
If a new door is beyond your
means or just unnecessary,
repaint the door, ideally in a
color that complements the
color of your home and the
surrounding landscape.
• Address pavement problems. Paving problems are not
necessarily an expensive fix,
but the cost of repairing driveways and walkways can add up
if it’s been awhile since these
areas were refurbished.
Still, one of the first things
buyers will notice when getting out of their cars is the
ground they’re walking on,
so patch and repair or even
replace driveways and walkways that have fallen into disrepair.
• Add or upgrade outdoor
living spaces. Outdoor living
spaces also can set a property
apart from others on the market. A recent study from the
National Association of Realtors found that buyers would
not hesitate to pay asking price
for homes with outdoor living
spaces.
When adding or upgrading
outdoor living spaces, try to
depersonalize the spaces as
much as possible, as buyers
want to picture themselves,
and not the sellers, enjoying these areas. Include some
comfortable furniture, adequate lighting and a dining area in your outdoor living space
as well.
Curb appeal can add a lot to
a home, while lack of such appeal can make a home difficult
to sell.
Homeowners who want to
sell their properties for asking
price or more should address
curb appeal before putting
their homes on the market.

Why hiring a landscaper may be for you
The majority of homeowners want their properties to
appear as appealing as possible. While many homeowners
want to be proud of their properties and come home to a welcoming home each night, the
benefits to maintaining landscaping go beyond the notion
that well-cared for lawns make
for more comforting retreats.
Because numerous variables, including landscaping,
influence property values,
it’s difficult to assess just how
much the property values of
homes with impressive landscapes are influenced by those
very landscapes. Indeed, studies have produced varying
results regarding the effect
of well-landscaped homes
on property values. But what
many studies have shown and
what many realtors indicate
is that impressive landscaping adds a significant amount
to property values, with estimates suggesting landscaping
increases home values by anywhere from 5 to 20 percent.
Such estimates are good
news for homeowners, and
they also highlight the stakes
involved when making land-
scaping decisions. Homeowners with green thumbs
may embrace the challenge
of revitalizing their lawns and
gardens, but many, especially
those pressed for time, can
benefit greatly from working
with professional landscapers.
Why hire a professional
landscaper?
Maintaining a property requires more than just mowing the lawn every couple of
weeks. Even homeowners
committed to making their
properties as pristine as possible can run into problems
when adverse weather conditions pose a threat to lawns
and gardens. The following are
just a handful of reasons why
homeowners may find working with landscaping professionals is the best thing for
their properties and their bank
accounts.
• Professionals understand
the local climate. Experienced
professional landscapers will
understand the local climate
and the challenges it presents to your lawn. Experience
can prove invaluable as lawns
battle adverse conditions that
threaten its survival. While
homeowners going it alone
may struggle through a trial
and error period as they try to
address problems threatening their lawns, experienced
professionals are more likely
to identify the problem immediately, providing a ready solution that can prevent potentially costly repairs down the road.
• Professionals can provide inspiration. In addition
to maintaining properties,
many landscaping professionals have vast experience
improving properties through
landscape design. Professional landscapers may have a
host of ideas for your property
that you would never think of.
Homeowners with little to no
lawn and garden experience
may not realize all the things
they can do with their properties, and those who go it alone
may end up with unappealing
landscapes that do not attract
buyers’ attention when the
home hits the market. Professionals typically have a wealth
of ideas and, perhaps more
importantly, they understand
which ideas will and won’t
work on a given property.
• Professionals can remove
some of the stress of managing
landscaping projects. Professional landscapers typically
have a network of professionals, including contractors,
who they have worked with
in the past. Such connections
can ensure more complex
projects that require both
landscapers and construction
contractors go as smoothly as
possible. In addition, homeowners who receive contractor recommendations from
their experienced landscapers
tend to rest easier knowing the
people working on their properties have already developed
a rapport and established a
successful track record working together.

Renovation tips to create more space in your home
As real estate prices continue to climb, the cost to trade
up to a larger home is on the
upswing across the country,
especially as markets remain
hampered by tight inventory
levels.
As a result, more and more
Americans are choosing to
renovate their current homes
instead of relocating. In fact,
some forecasts predict that
2015 renovation spending
could exceed the record of
$324 billion set during the
peak of last decade’s housing boom. While the hunt for
more square footage can be
challenging, homeowners
shouldn’t feel like a costly second story or complete addition are the only options.
Here are five great ways to
create or optimize space in
your existing home.
1. Finish an unfinished
basement. A basement renovation can hold limitless potential and increase the resale
value or income potential of
your home. Think about the
possibilities: a home theater,
office, spare bedroom, basement apartment or recreation
room. The key to doing it successfully is to focus on what’s
behind the walls, especially
since moisture is a common
issue in basements. Choosing
the right insulation is critical.
Look for products that are vapor permeable, dimensionally
stable and mold and moisture
resistant. Many contractors
use Roxul Comfortboard IS
semi-rigid sheathing board
paired with Comfortbatt batt
insulation to combat thermal
bridging and protect against
mold and mildew growth. An
added benefit of this type of
mineral wool insulation is that
it’s also fire-resistant to 2,150
F. For interior walls and ceilings, Safe ‘n’ Sound insulation
is ideal because of its ability to
absorb noise and indoor traffic sounds, ensuring your newfound space is a peaceful one.
2. Create a more open-concept feel with light and color. If
your home wasn’t blessed with
Award Winning
Service For Over
45 Years!
towering windows, installing
French doors and pot lights
can encourage light to travel
more freely, creating the illusion of space. Likewise, choosing a paint color for walls, trim
and moldings that is lighter
and cooler in tone (think soft
grays or blues) will help to reflect light and give the room a
more open feel.
3. Remove non-load-bearing walls. Homeowners have
the opportunity to rethink
the layout of their home by
removing non-load-bearing
walls. Removing structurally
unnecessary walls can make
your whole home feel larger,
improve flow, lighting and the
function of your home.
4. Convert your garage into
usable living or work space.
For many homeowners, the
garage becomes an overflow
room for storage –– and is often a walk-in headache. Convert your garage (or a portion
of it) into another living space,
guest bedroom or home office.
Install carpet and quality thermal insulation such as Roxul
Comfortbatt to block outdoor
noise and keep in warmth.
5. Choose furniture and accessories carefully. Adopt a
minimalist’s eye. Begin looking around your home for
furniture or accessories that
overwhelm the space. Interior
designers recommend choos-
ing low-profile or small-scale
furniture for rooms with less
square footage. Dual-purpose
items, such as ottomans with
storage chests inside, are a
budget-friendly way to save on
space while staying organized.

Tips for first-time Do-It-Yourselfers
Many homeowners prefer
to tackle their home improvement projects on their own,
which can be both rewarding
and cost-effective.
But going the DIY route also
carries some risk, especially
for homeowners with no previous experience swinging a
hammer.
Before embarking on their
first DIY project, homeowners should consider a few tips
to ensure their project stays
on course and finds its way to
completion.
• Assess your skills. Even
projects that seem simple can
prove complex when unforeseen circumstances arise, so
DIYers should assess their
skills to determine if they are
capable of completing a project should the worst-case scenario present itself.
When researching a project, examine all the things
that could go wrong and determine if your skills are such
that you can handle those
problems.
If you determine that you
can’t, you can still attempt
the project on your own, but
you should enlist a friend or
relative with extensive DIY experience to assist you so the
project can be successfully
completed even if problems
arise.
• Ease your way into DIY.
You may dream of starting
with a big project that will impress guests and establish you
as a certified handyman (or
handywoman).
But it’s better to take it slow
and start with a small project.
Doing so allows you to make
some mistakes that likely
won’t prove too costly, and it
also gives you an idea of how
to plan a project and see it
through to completion.
Take note of any mistakes
you make as well as any areas
where you excel, using this
information when you decide
which DIY project to tackle
next.
• Do a lot of homework. Effective online tutorials can be
valuable resources and instill
confidence in prospective DIYers. But not all tutorials are
the same, and some may make
jobs appear easier to complete
than they actually are.
If you will rely on an online
tutorial to guide you through
a project, view several such
tutorials before beginning the
project.
Some will highlight potential pitfalls, while others may
gloss over these hurdles. The
more tutorials you watch, the
better grasp you will get of the
full scope of a project.
• Buy quality tools. Sometimes it’s not the person
swinging the hammer but the
hammer itself that derails a
project.
Purchase quality tools and
materials before beginning
a DIY project, as cheap and/
or poorly rated tools and
materials can put a project
in jeopardy or produce poor
results. In addition to buying
the right tools and materials,
invest some time in learning
how to properly use the tools,
even practicing before beginning a project. This increases
the chance that the project
stays on schedule, and learning to use your new tools can
be fun.

Freshen up your home for the spring season
After a few months of chilly temperatures, come spring, many homeowners
are eager to throw open their windows
and doors and breathe new life into
their homes.
Simple changes made now — even
before the weather begins to warm
up — can improve interior spaces
and brighten the atmosphere of a
home.
• Go plant shopping. Research from
NASA suggests adding at least one
plant in your home per 100 square feet
is efficient enough to clean air. Fresh
foliage also makes a home feel warm
and inviting. Watering and misting
plants introduces moisture into indoor air, which can make rooms overcome with dry air from heating systems
feel comfortable. Just be sure to avoid
overwatering plants, which can lead to
mold growth.
• Swap out throw pillows. Accent pillows on beds and sofas are quick and
inexpensive ways to add new bursts
of color to rooms. You may be able
to make over a room’s entire color
scheme with new pillows. Invest in pillows that you can switch with each season so your decor will never look tired
or dull.
• Clean existing light fixtures. Anoth-
Simple changes can improve interior spaces and brighten a home’s atmosphere.
er way to brighten the mood in a home
is to periodically clean light fixtures to
make sure they are working effectively.
Spend time dusting them and cleaning
off any accumulated debris. If need be,
switch out old lamp shades for newer
ones that let more light shine through.
If inadequate lighting is a problem no
matter how many lamps you have, consult with an electrician about installing
more overhead and accent lighting.
• Give rugs and floors a deep cleaning. Recirculated air may be full of
dust and other microscopic particles
that end up blowing throughout your
home. Also, it’s easy to track in dirt and
other materials on your shoes that become imbedded in carpeting. At least
once a year, rent or enlist the surfaces
of carpet and upholstery cleaners to
give floors a thorough cleaning. You
may be surprised at how clean and
fresh a home looks and smells once
rugs and carpets are deep-cleaned.
You also can make a dry carpet cleaner
using baking soda, corn starch and desired fresh herbs for fragrance. Sprinkle
and then vacuum up after a few hours.
• Color-coordinate bookshelves.
Group all books with similarly colored
covers together for an instant and eyeappealing look.
• Simmer some homemade home
deodorizer. In a large pot, boil water
and some scented herbs, such as rosemary, citrus rinds, vanilla, or lavender.
The aroma will waft through the home,
creating a pleasing scent.
• Invest in new window treatments.
Lightweight draperies or new blinds
or shades can transform the look of a
room. Be sure to keep curtains and
blinds open during the day to maximize the hours of sunlight.
Homeowners can make some simple changes while they’re stuck indoors
and reap the benefits when the weather warms up again.

Tips for safer renovations
Home renovation projects
vary in scope. Something as
simple as repainting a bedroom counts as a renovation
project, as does a full kitchen
remodel. But no matter how
big or small a project, homeowners’ top priority should always be safety.
Before beginning a project,
make a list of possible hazards
and how to avoid them. Here
are some potential dangers
that can spring up.
• Asbestos: Many homes
built when asbestos was legal
still contain asbestos materials. Asbestos has been used
in many applications, such as
in ceiling materials, insulation, siding, and more. That’s
because asbestos is flame retardant and serves as an effective and inexpensive insulator. However, asbestos fibers
released into the air during
renovations can cause respiratory problems and even lead
to lung cancer. Asbestos needs
to be removed under specific
guidelines and disposed of
properly. Disposal typically
requires hiring a professional
service.
• Dust and dirt: Sanding,
sawing, welding, and other
home renovation tasks can
cast debris into the air. Ventilation may be needed to maintain clean, breathable air. Ventilation can also shuttle any
harmful fumes generated from
construction materials outside of the home. Do-it-yourselfers should wear masks and
eye protection to guard themselves against debris.
• Electrical lines: All homes
may not have been built in
adherence to modern-day
codes. Electric lines can be discovered where they are least
expected. When doing demolition or drilling/nailing into
walls, it’s not uncommon to
come across electrical wires.
Extra caution needs to be taken, and an electrician should
be consulted if the wires need
to be relocated.
• Chemicals: Chemicals,
such as sealants, cleaners,
lubricants, and fuel, may be
used during renovation projects. Such substances can be
dangerous to pets and children if they are touched or accidentally ingested. Exercise
extreme caution when using
chemical products, making
sure all product containers are
sealed and kept out of reach
when not in use.
• Tools: Cuts, abrasions,
burns and more can result
when power tools and even
manual tools are used incorrectly. Learn how to use tools
before beginning a project,
and always put tools away
when work is done for the
day.
• Falls: Falls are a leading
cause of household injury,
and the chance of a fall may increase when climbing ladders
during home improvement
projects. Don’t climb beyond
where indicated on ladders
and always have a spotter on
hand when climbing is necessary. Wear harnesses, sturdy
footwear and gloves as well.
When considering renovation projects, homeowners’ top priority
should always be safety.

Plants can clean indoor air
Gardening is a rewarding
hobby that can pay a host of
dividends, both for the planet
and the people doing the gardening.
Healthy plant life can help
clean the air by absorbing
carbon dioxide and various
air pollutants, while the act of
gardening can help gardeners
combat stress.
Published in 2011 in the
Journal of Health Psychology, a study from researchers in the Netherlands found
that gardening promotes
relief from acute stress. In
the study, two groups of participants were asked to complete a stressful task and then
instructed to either read indoors or garden outdoors for
30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, the latter
group had lower levels of the
stress hormone cortisol and
even reported being in a better
mood than the group instructed to read indoors.
But gardening does more
than just provide gardeners
with a reason to spend some
time relaxing outdoors in an
effort to relieve stress. Gardeners who raise certain plants
may be able to bring those
benefits with them when going inside as well. According
to an article published in the
journal Environmental Health
Perspectives in October 2011,
houseplants can work wonders when it comes to improving overall health, removing
toxins from air, soil and water
by metabolizing some toxic
chemicals and releasing harmless byproducts while sequestering such toxins by incorporating them into plant tissues.
Clean indoor air is important for everyone, but especially so for those people who
suffer from respiratory ailments like asthma.
In fact, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and
Immunology considers indoor
air filtration an essential part
of any strategy to improve respiratory health.
But filtration systems and
air purifiers are often not
enough, and those who want
the air in their homes to be as
clean as possible may ben-
efit from introducing certain
houseplants into their homes.
The following are a handful
of plants that can help to improve indoor air quality.
• Aloe vera: Aloe vera might
be most often associated with
hand creams and hand soaps,
but the aloe vera plant, a succulent that even novice gardeners should have no problem growing, can clear indoor
air of formaldehyde and benzene, two common byproducts of chemical-based cleaners many people use in their
homes.
• Spider plant: Spider plants
are resilient, and that makes
them great houseplants for
busy men and women who
tend to be forgetful when
caring for their plants. In addition, spider plants are petfriendly and can be used to
combat benzene, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde and xylene.
• English ivy: NASA researchers exploring the possibilities of long-term space
habitation found that certain
houseplants were more effective at cleaning air inside
energy-efficient, nonventilated buildings than others.
One such plant was English
ivy, which can effectively combat the formaldehyde found
in certain household cleaning
products.
• Bamboo palm: Bamboo
palms also found their way onto NASA’s list. Bamboo palm
plants thrive indoors, where
they are especially effective
at filtering out the chemicals
benzene and trichloroethylene.
Gardening has been proven
to be a soothing hobby that
can help gardeners reduce
stress.
But the health benefits of
gardening can extend indoors
as well.

Reclaimed wood adds instant appeal to home projects
Repurposing salvaged wood
is a popular trend in the home
improvement industry. Not
only can using salvaged wood
give a home a one-of-a-kind
look, but it’s a handy way to incorporate the three Rs of green
living into your lifestyle: reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reclaimed wood is often
used in flooring, beams, wall
treatments, and doors, but
it also can be turned into furniture or home accent items.
Reclaimed wood adds warmth
and historical interest to a
home’s decor that newer materials may lack. Although
finding wood that can be salvaged takes time and some legwork, such efforts can quickly
pay off. Many businesses are
now devoted to reclaimed timber, which can help make the
process of finding and using
salvaged wood even easier.
Homeowners considering
reclaimed wood may be interested to learn that such wood
can serve various functions
aside from benefitting the
planet.
• Match old-growth wood.
New regulations may prevent
certain species of trees from
being cut down. That means
it can be challenging to match
old wood in a home, particularly if you’re looking to maintain historical value and au-
thenticity. Relying on salvaged
wood items can alleviate this
concern, ensuring that you
can find rare woods that are no
longer available brand new.
• Salvaged wood has character. It’s difficult to mimic the
natural age marks and character that older wood may have.
Instead of being raised on
farms, wood harvested decades
ago probably grew in natural environments, making the
wood both durable and strong.
The color and grain of salvaged
wood may also be unique.
• Look at objects in a new
way. Doors are versatile pieces
of reclaimed lumber because
they’re already flat and rather
large. Doors can be turned into
headboards, tables or benches. Staircase or porch posts
can be turned into candlestick
holders, and wood shutters
can dress up walls and provide
a place to hang artwork and
other wall items.
• Reclaimed wood can be
found everywhere. Most people do not have to look too far
to find wood they can salvage.
Check salvage yards, landfills,
dumpsters in front of older
homes being renovated, or
older, unused barns in rural
settings. You also can collect
driftwood or discarded shipping crates.
While some reclaimed wood
can be used as-is, some pieces
may require millwork, including sanding, cutting, shaping,
and finishing. If you do not
have these skills, you probably
will have to hire someone who
does.
The Internet is awash with
ideas for putting salvaged
wood to use. Get inspired and
then find the pieces that will fit
your project.

How to prepare a home for elderly residents
Upon reaching retirement
age, new retirees may face decisions regarding their living
arrangements. Some seniors
may opt to stay put, while
others may want to downsize
their homes to save money
and relieve themselves of the
burdens of maintaining larger
homes.
But those are not the only
situations seniors find themselves in. Some seniors realize they can no longer care
for themselves without assistance. In such instances,
seniors may opt for assisted
living facilities or choose to
move in with a relative, such
as a grown son or daughter.
While assisted living facilities
are designed to meet the needs
of the elderly, young men and
women welcoming seniors
into their homes may need to
take on some home improvement projects to ensure their
homes are as safe as possible
for elderly residents.
• Convert a room on the
first floor into a bedroom.
While this may not apply to
all seniors, some men and
women struggle with stairs as
they age, and that can make
it difficult for them to fully
participate in a household.
Homeowners with an extra
room to spare can convert a
room on the first floor of their
homes into a bedroom so seniors won’t have to climb up
and down stairs throughout
the day. That ease of accessibility to the primary floor
of the house encourages seniors to be active participants
in a household. If possible,
choose an area that is close to
a first-floor bathroom.
• Take steps to make bathrooms safer. The National
Institute on Aging says that
more than one in three seniors
over age 65 fall each year, and
80 percent of those falls take
place in the bathroom. Slippery tile floors can make it difficult for seniors to navigate
bathrooms safely, and bathtubs and shower stalls present
additional challenges. Install
grab bars on bathroom walls
and next to toilets to provide
support. In addition, consider
installing a shower chair or
bench and removable shower
nozzle in the shower or tub
so seniors can sit down while
they bathe and rinse without
having to stand up on slippery
surfaces. Make sure any mats
around bathtubs and sinks are
nonskid to reduce the risk of
falls even further.
• Install an extra phone line
or two. Many seniors still rely
on traditional telephones as
their primary means of communicating with the outside
world. Install extra landlines
in your home, including in seniors’ bedrooms, so they can
more readily access the phone
should they fall and need
to call for emergency help.
Phones in seniors’ bedrooms
may also provide some additional privacy.
• Prioritize accessibility when storing items. When
storing groceries, books,
magazines, or other items seniors are likely to use, choose
locations that are accessible
to seniors. Avoid storing items
on the top shelf of pantries,
bookcases or entertainment
centers, as seniors with limited

arrangements may necessitate
some changes on the part of
homeowners so they can ensure their homes are safe for
seniors.

Tips on shopping for new appliances
As the weather turns cooler,
outdoor improvements become less practical. Homeowners’ thoughts may turn to
projects they can tackle inside
of the home. Now may be the
time to consider the purchase
of new appliances that can be
the finishing touches to renovated spaces.
Fall is prime time to purchase new large appliances.
Manufacturers typically unveil
their latest models during September and October. At this
point, prices on older models
will be reduced to make room
for new ones. By the end of the
year, any older models that
have not yet been cleared out
will be discounted further.
Even though the end-of-the
year deals will be better, the
selection may be limited the
longer you wait.
It is best never to wait until an appliance is on its last
leg for repair or replacement.
Then consumers do not have
the luxury to price shop nor
find items that include the features they desire most. Here
are some other buying tips.
RESEARCH
Shoppers should begin their
research at home before they
The purchase of new appliances can be the finishing touch to
renovated places.
even enter a store. Make a list
of features you want in the appliance, which helps narrow
down the playing field and
better focus your purchasing
decisions.
Once you have a list handy,
speak with friends or family
members about their experiences with brands and/or retailers. Ask about which features they like the most and
how often they have had to
call for repairs. If they could do
things differently, what would
those things be?
KNOW YOUR SPACE
Perhaps you are familiar
with the adage to measure
twice and cut once. The same
can be said for measuring prior to purchasing an appliance.
Be sure you know the exact
measurements of the space
that will house the new appliance. Take into consideration
the clearance needed to open
doors, such as with a refrigerator or front-loading washing
machine. It can be a waste of
time and money to have an ap-
pliance delivered only to find it
doesn’t fit at the time of installation.
ENERGY SAVINGS
Homeowners who purchase
qualifying appliances may be
eligible for tax breaks and other
incentives.
Consider appliances that
reduce energy usage. Energy
Star® appliances are produced
in adherence to international
standards for energy efficiency.
The program was started more
than 20 years ago by the EPA
and the Department of Energy.
Since then, other countries
have adopted the program. Appliances that feature the Energy Star® logo use 20 to 30 percent less energy than required
by typical federal standards.
It is easy to be overwhelmed
and awestruck by the number
of appliances available. You
may desire the biggest and
best there is, but if you are not
a superstar in the kitchen, you
may not need the commercial
stove. A bachelor may not require an oversized washing
machine.
Do your research and comparison shop so you won’t
have any regrets later on.

Five ways to increase home fire safety
An average of seven Americans die each week as a result
of house fires. Most fires occur
in residential buildings between the hours of 11 p.m. and
7 a.m., when occupants are
most likely to be asleep. Your
first line of defense is fire preparedness.
Here’s five things you can
do to increase your chance of
survival in a fire:
• Install smoke alarms on
every story of your home and
outside sleeping areas. Be sure
to test them monthly, clean
them every six months and replace batteries in spring and
fall.
Having working fire alarms
can cut your chance of dying in
a fire in half!
• Have a fire escape plan for
your family and practice it. A
small fire can spread rapidly —
you may only have minutes or
seconds to escape.
When going over the details
of your escape plan, check
windows and doors to ensure
all open easily. Know your local emergency number (911).
Never stop to gather belongings or reenter a home after
safely outside.
• When renovating, consider using fire-rated, noncombustible products. Your choice
of insulation, for example, can
be vital. Stone wool insulation,
like that produced by Roxul,
resists temperatures up to approximately 2,150 F. When
directly exposed to fire, it will
not off-gas, contribute to toxic smoke or promote flames.
Fire-resistant building materials can give you extra time to
escape when seconds count.
• Purchase a multi-use fire
ladder for each bedroom in
your home and practice using
it. A fire ladder may be your
only escape option if flames
block critical exits.
• Place fire extinguishers on
every level of your home, especially in high-risk areas like the
“Environmentally Friendly”
kitchen, near fireplaces and in
the garage. Use only for small,
contained fires that are not
spreading rapidly. Know how
to operate your extinguisher
before an emergency occurs
using the PASS method: Pull
pin, Aim low, Squeeze lever
and Sweep from side to side.
The safest option is always to
evacuate your home and call
for help.
