Ten steps to successful(MS) Perhaps youve finally decided to carry outthe renovations that youve been dreaming about for years.But where to start? And how to avoid botching the job? Itsall a matter of careful planning. These ten steps are a guideto make your task easier; follow them, and youre sure to beproud of your finished renovation project.
1. Evaluate your needs in a realistic way. If you expect tosell your home in a few years, you wont see things in thesame way as if you plan to spend the rest of your life there.If youre there for the long term, try to anticipate the needsof your family down the road; determine if the work youreplanning to do now will make sense in a few years time.
2. Your aesthetic desires are important, but major homemaintenance should come first. If your electric wiring is
old and the roof is beginning to show its age, this kindof maintenance work should be carried out before youconsider any other types of improvements to the house.The golden rule: maintenance before renovations. Ignorethis particular guideline at your peril! You wont enjoy yournew sun room if rainwater is dripping through your ceilingelsewhere in the house.
3. Read all available information about the type of renova-tions youre considering. Useful sources include docu-ments published by government organizations, special-ized magazines, and websites. Grill friends, neighbours,and material suppliers about their knowledge and experi-
ences with renovation. Youll want to avoid reproducingtheir horror stories!
4. Draw up several different plans. You might entrust thisstep to a professional (architect, architectural technician,or interior designer), having first looked through theirportfolios and checked their references. They can draw updefinitive plans and, if you wish, prepare estimates for thematerials required.
5. Dont go any further before having your plans approved byyour municipality. Renovation regulations vary consider-ably from one town to another.
6. In order to prepare as precise a budget as possible, shoparound for the different types of materials, comparing theirprices as well as their durability. Plan for an extra 10 or20 percent of your budget to meet unexpected expenses,which have an amazing ability to sneak up and take you bysurprise.
7. If you need financing, a consultant at your bankinginstitution will be able to explain the various avenuesopen to you, taking into account any equity available onthe home and your assets. They will be well informedabout any financial products intended specifically for
OUR TRUCKS MEAN BUSINESS!
ATTENTION

Building Technology News:
Post-modern homes are systems of efficiency(MS) Just as it was only a generation
ago when a computer filled an entireroom, weve come a long way from thedays when the average home wasted vastamounts of energy.
Many older houses still do -- due mainlyto antiquated building methods rather thanoccupant neglect -- so if youre about tobuild your dream home, its worth know-ing that there are some highly advancedconstruction options available. Many ofthem will ensure the lowest maintenancecosts during your ownership plus the verybest resale value later.
Where in the past a house was cre-ated by parts and pieces, the focus now ison integrated systems for walls, ceilings
and floors, says Todd Blyth at Nudura, aleading name in construction technology.Take a look at our system for buildingwalls as just one example. It replaces theinefficient wood stick method with pre-assembled, interlocking concrete forms.
Once locked together (like Lego),the homeowner gets a solid, monolithicbuilding envelope which is known to cutenergy bills up to 70 percent. Indoor com-
fort is improved since wood-rot and moldis controlled. Drafts and cold spots areeliminated and this kind of concrete wallis recorded to be up to three times moresound resistant, four times more fire resis-tant, and nine times stronger.
Builder Quick TipOver the past decade, the most energy
efficient buildings and homes in NorthAmerica have been built with this ground-breaking system (www.nudura.com) and,according to Blyth, every year more andmore builders are making the big change.Heres a snapshot of the construction ben-efits:
* Pre-assembled concrete building formsmake wall construction easier andfaster for contractors, designers andengineers.
* The patented fastening strips inside thepanels ensure no compression dur-ing placement and securely lock theforms into place.
* The innovative hinged web lets theforms to be shipped flat, allowing 40percent more of them on a truck com-pared to outdated methods.
* Assembly time is eliminated and thecompact design allows one personthe ability to easily carry 36 square-feet of wall form from the truck to thestorage area.
* In one building step, place 12 square-feet of wall. Installation is faster, withless waste and reduced seams.
* A patented foam interlock allows theform to be 4-way reversible. Thisautomatically doubles the usagewhenever a half height form may berequired. It virtually eliminates wastewhen constructing gable end walls,since both halves can be used.

Lead Paint Hazards and Older Windows(MS) -- If your home was built before 1978 and you still have the original win-
dows, its time to seriously consider replacing your windows -- especially if youhave young children or a pregnant person living at home.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the routine openingand closing of windows in homes built prior to 1978 can disturb lead-based paintaround the windows, causing paint dust and chips to be released into the air. Theselead particles are so potentially dangerous that the EPA now requires contractors tobe trained and certified before they can perform any renovation, repair or paintingprojects that may have previously applied lead-based paint.
Research indicates that the everyday activity of opening and closing windowscreates friction that then allows invisible lead dust to enter the air, says Rick Nevin,a consultant to the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH). Young children,who crawl on the floor where the lead dust has settled, can be especially at risk.Toddlers put their hands in their mouths ... and after playing on the floor near awindow, they can easily transfer the lead dust into their mouths. The ingested leadtravels through the bloodstream to a childs developing brain, causing many types ofneurobehavioral damage.
According to Nevin, one of the most important long-term investments a hom-eowner can make for the overall safety of a family is to replace older windows, usingthe EPA-approved lead safe renovation guidelines.
Replacing older windows is one of the best ways to reduce lead risks, saysNevin. Make sure to use only a contractor that is certified in lead-safe work prac-tices and strongly consider the use of ENERGY STAR(R) qualified windows, likethe vinyl replacement windows offered by Simonton Windows(R). These windowsare a healthy choice for replacing older single-pane units. Theyre energy-efficientand a good value for the investment.
At Simonton, we advocate that replacing older windows coated with lead-basedpaint with vinyl windows is a sensible step for homeowners who want to createa healthier home environment, says Gary Pember with Simonton Windows. We
believe Ricks research substantiates the replacement of all windows coated withlead-based paint as a way to dramatically help reduce lead dust within that home.
Nevin explains that, according to his research funded by the National Institute ofHealth (NIH), homeowners need to understand there are four key steps to complet-ing a lead-safe window replacement strategy for the home.
First, they advise replacing all single-pane windows with ENERGY STARqualified windows, says Nevin. Second, stabilize any significantly deterioratedpaint. Third, perform specialized cleaning to remove any lead-contaminated dust.And finally, perform dust wipe tests to confirm the absence of lead dust hazardsafter the clean up.
