o mprove Cur ppeaHomeowners who want

their homes to make

strong first impressions

must prioritize curbappeal. Homes with strong

curb appeal sell well and

can impart a welcoming

feel to all visitors.

Improving curb appeal

need not be expensive,

and the following are

handful f ways to improve

the appearance of your

home.

1. Install a bold-lookingdoor in a vibrant color r

one with a custom design.

This helps the home stand

out from other properties

in the neighborhood.

2. Edge the driveway to

create a istinct border

between the riveway

and the lawn or other

landscaping features. This

helps homes appear neat

nd well kept.

. Use utdoor lightingto make a home more

inviting. Outdoor lighting

lso makes properties

safer to traverse t night.

. Clean a homes exterior

to remove mildew or

iscolorations from the

siding, driveway, patio, nd

ther outdoor elements.

5. Improve landscapes

with fresh plants

The Right WateringCan Make All he Difference a Lush LawnProper watering is essential when trying torestore or maintain a lush green lawn. If wateredincorrectly, a lawn an be susceptible t a host ofproblems, including insect infestation, weak rootsand disease.

When watering a lawn, especially whentemperatures start to oar in the summer, its easyto think a law needs more water nd needs itduring those hours of the day when the sun is atits most ntense. However, those re two common

misconceptions bout watering. The following area handful of tips for homeowners who want to helptheir lawns ndure the summer heat and maintaintheir lush appeal into the fall.

W ter when temperatures re mild. In thesummertime, humans ypically need water whentemperatures re at their most extreme, but thatdoes not mean lawns hould be watered whentemperatures oar. W ter ttracts the sun, owatering when temperatures are at heir hottest,which s ypically round midday nd intoearly afternoon, will likely lead to brown potsindicative of a burned lawn. Thats because thesun will be rawn to the water, bearing down n

the lawn and burning the grass as a result. Whensummer rriv s, a lawn is best watered whentemperatures re at their most mild. That oftentranslates to early morning or early evening.Anadded benefit of atering when temperaturesare on the mild side is less ater will be lost to

evaporation during thistime, meaning you wontbe wasting water.

ituate sprinklers to conserve w ter. Homeowners

who ont be hand watering their lawns houldmake ure their sprinklers re placed properlythroughout their property. Situate prinklers so

they rent watering driveways, walkways rpatios. All of the ater should be going to thegrass, especially hen rought restrictions are nplace and he mount of watering the law allows

is limited. Its also important to make sure waterfrom prinklers isnt being blocked from reachingthe grass by trees. Homeowners with especiallylarge trees on their property should onsider handwatering the grass beneath such trees to ensurethese reas receive dequate water.

Lean on mulch. Homeowners tend to fear drought

fo a variety of reasons, not the least of which isthat drought can caus a reen lawn to turn brown,potentially affectingproperty v lue and robbing alandscape of its beauty. But there are ways to helpthe soil retain moisture hen emperatures areespecially hot nd dry. Mulch around trees, flowerbeds, gardens and hrubs an help homeowners

get the most bang for their atering buck. Thatbecause mulch retains moisture, even whentemperatures re especially hot. his helps fosterstronger root growth and ealthier landscapesthat re less usceptible to isease and insectinfestation.

Get o know your lawn. Several variables

combine to determine how much water a lawn

needs. Understanding these v riables helpshomeowners understand how much to watertheir own lawns. Local climate is a variable to

consider, as is whether or not a lawn was fertilized(experts typically recommend a lawn be fertilizedseveral times, be inning in the spring and ending

in October). Soil type nd grass type lso help

to determine how much water a lawn needs, and

homeowners who need to determine the type ofsoil and rass n their property can onsult a locallawn care enter or landscaping professional.Proper watering can help a lawn survive the dogdays of ummer, nd it up t homeo ners tolearn he right techniques.

Poorly ituated sprinkler heads an deny la ns the water they desperately need when the temperatures rise.

Practice Garage And

Workshop Smarts

Completing home improvement projectson your wn an be both rewardingand financially responsible. A growingnumber of homeowners are dabblingin do-it-yourself projects, recognizingboth the personal and financial rewardsof such undertakings. As more andmore homeowners perform their ownrenovations and other improvementprojects, many are outfitting their homeswith tate-of-the-art orkshops andtransforming garages into a do-it-yourselfers paradise.

Safety is vital in any orkshop. During

a typical home renovation, homeownerswill use ll orts of dangerous tools andchemicals, nd ven the simplest mishapcan result in a serious injury. Followingsafety rules can reduce the risk of injury.

Know your tools

Befor novice o-it-yourselfers beginworking with power tools, they houldfamiliarize themselves with their wnersmanuals and the operating instructions.

Some home-improvement retailers offerclasses in v rious home renovationprojects nd may be ble o teach toolusage. Do-it-yourselfers should consultprofessionals with regar to propertool use and safety. D not use tools for

purposes other than what the tool waintended to do. If machine guards areprovided, they should be used and neverremoved.

W ar safety gear

Eye, ear and breathing protection arekey in any workshop nvironment. Dustand hemical gases may be presentwhen working with certain products,and debris an be kicked up and enterthe eyes, ausing irritation or evenblindness. Loud power tools can damage

sensitive ears, specially hen used ina contained room. Always wear goggles,sound-muffling arphones and dustmasks when working.

Assess physical well-being

Do-it-yourselfers should never workwith machiner if hey are feeling ick orfatigued or while taking medication thatcan affect concentration or lertness.

All it takes i a moment of distraction toause an injury.

Never surprise anyone who is workingwith power tools and keep unnecessarypeople u of the workshop, where theymight chat and distract thers from thetasks t hand.

Factor in ergonomics

Failure to work in omfortable conditionsan result in repetition injuries or

muscle strain. Make the workshop ascomfortable as possible. Ensure he worktable is at the right height. Us a rubberma on the floor o reduce standingfatigue. Have a stool or chair availablefor taking breaks.

Keep aclean shop

Power cords trewn round theworkshop presen a tripping hazard.They also make it possible to dragsharp or heavy tools off of tables andworkbenches if the cords are pulled ortripped over. A neat workshop is a aferworkshop. Pay attention to where tools

re k pt and keep cords manageable.

Dress appropriately

Loose clothing nd hair can become

tangled r lodged in equipment. Do notwear jewelry. Dress comfortably butappropriately for the workshop, beingsure to wear sturdy shoes.

Lock i u

Children and pets re urious and maywander into a workshop to explor . Theycan become seriously ill or injured bythe bevy of chemicals nd tools usedfor common projects. ome items areflammable and sharp and hould alwaysbe out of reach. Locking cabinets anddrawers can keep tools inaccessible.

Also warn youngsters against enteringthe workshop unattended.

As more people engage in do-it-yourselfprojects, homeowners should reacquaint

themselves with safety procedures.
