Western States 100 comes to town This Saturday at 5 a.m., 377 people will leave Squaw Valley in Tahoe with the intent of making it to Placer High School in Auburn within 24 hours. Oh, did I mention they will be leaving on foot? Yes, this is the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, also known as Western States 100 (WS100). People come from all over the world to do this run, putting Auburn forever on the map of great sporting events. Here are some facts about the run and its course: • This year marks the 45th year of the run. • Three of the entrants this year are in their 70s. • There are 23 aid stations throughout the course, with 12 of those stations having medical support. The aid stations

Elevation gain is more than 18,000 feet and descends almost 23,000 from start to finish.

are free of paper cups, so they require runners to either share with community cups or bring their own. • Elevation gain is more than 18,000 feet and descends almost 23,000 from start to finish. The course is part of
the Western States Trail which runs from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Sacramento. A pace runner or pacer — defined as a trail companion — may accompany a runner along designated sections of the course. Pacers are alongside their runners solely for safety’s
COURTESY
sake. They are not allowed to assist (unless it’s a medical emergency) or carry food, water or supplies for the runner. They are also known to be great motivators by just being there for their runner. Festivities started in Squaw on Thursday and
wind up in Auburn on Sunday. If you are looking for something to do, come down and watch some of these incredible athletes cross the finish line. If they finish within 24 hours they will receive the coveted WS100 Belt Buckle and I believe that will happen around 12:30 p.m. on Sunday by the finish line at the Track Field at Placer High. This is my fourth year being a volunteer for the WS100, being fortunate enough to work at Red Star Ridge aid station, located at the 15.8-mile mark. We camp out on Friday night, setting up for the runners to come through and enjoying being out in the middle of nowhere. Saturday morning, we count runners, take their drop bags, check them for medical issues if needed and
provide food, water and encouragement. After the aid station, we head to the high school where we set up to cook and serve dinner Saturday night plus breakfast and lunch for the runners and their crews on Sunday. The public is welcome to join in the festivities, donations are required if you choose to eat. Come and visit me (you’ll smell the food!) and bring the family to enjoy a longtime local event. This can be a fun Way to Save some money and have some quality time with family and friends. For more information, go to wser.org. See you there.

Water: It's good to the last drop As a Californian, one of our most precious resources is clean water. In the foothills, we are fortunate to have access to the lakes, rivers and streams of the beautiful Sierras. For those who are lucky enough to own or buy property up here, it is important to keep an eye on the water sources. Here’s a quick primer to get started.
Well water:
Confirm the flow rate or Gallons Per Minute(GPM) and test for potable water by running both a bacterial test and a chemical test. A “real estate panel” is a chemical test that checks for iron/hardness/ph/arsenic and manganese and can be expanded to include other items deemed necessary in the area.
Kathy Fitzhenry Realtor
Buyers:
Order the tests as soon as escrow is opened as they can take 14 days or longer to complete.
Bonus tip:
The well report will contain technical information, be sure to go over it with the lab technician. By way of background, both Nevada and Placer counties are linked into a series of canals that distribute water from the Sierra Mountains. This is a key
water source for both Nevada Irrigation District (NID) and for Placer County Water District(PCWA) Public District refers to treated water from PCWA in the Auburn area and NID many areas of Nevada County. In Grass Valley and Nevada City, raw water is obtained from NID and treated in the municipality facility. PCWA this is the key supplier of treated/ untreated water in Placer County including Auburn. There are typically hookup and meter fees for undeveloped parcels. Usage fees are charged monthly and based on user volume.
NID Water:
When you see this reference in an MLS listing, it typically refers to untreated irrigation water that can be used by the proper-
ty owner to irrigate crops, pasture land, etc. These water rights can add value to a property as it expands utility. Note: “NID” water rights are typically conveyed with the sale of the property and fees for access are typically charged annually. Proximity to an NID water source does not mean that land owner has rights to use it.
Miner's inch:
This water measurement is a throw back to the Gold Rush days. A miner's inch is a flow rate of 11.22 gallons per minute. It is used to describe the flow of irrigation water that can be obtained from the NID or PCWA sources. To find out more about our local water sources, visit NIDwater.com or

Home inspector wrong about safety glass Dear Barry: Our home is about 50 years old. When we bought it, our home inspector said the sliding glass door did not have safety glass, and he advised us to replace it. Last week, we hired a window washer, and he showed us the safety glass label at the lower corner of the door. Fortunately, we discovered this before spending a lot of money on new glass. How could this

Another possibility is that the sliding glass door was not safety glass when the home was built. The original glass may have been broken and replaced before you bought the home. What often happens in such cases is that the broken pane in the door will be replaced, while the older glass in the adjoining window remains in place. If that occurred in your home,

Dear Barry: I converted my attic to additional living space to ma ke t wo ex t ra bedrooms.

Dear Brian: The codes t hat reg u late cei l i ng heights a nd bedroom window dimensions are the same for attics as for other locations in a home. Hence, your converted rooms do not comply as legal bedrooms and cannot be represented as such when you sell the property. However, replacement of the windows is probably not too difficult to accomplish. Alteration of the ceiling height would be much more challenging, but might be doable, depending upon your roof layout. You might consider applying to your local building department for an as-built per-

How to make a competitive offer Question: I am an agent and my buyers are very frustrated. We have written offers on five different homes, and they have been beat out by another offer each time. Can you offer any advice on how I can trouble shoot this situation? Answer: As you know, buying a home can be a very stressful and unfamiliar situation for most buyers. The market is still experiencing low inventory and stiff compet it ion for ma ny homes, so you and your buyers are not alone dealing with this situation. Most buyers are very savvy and want the best property location, top home conditions along with the best asking price. It is u nder st a ndable t hen,

with the competition high on the best homes, buyers will feel defeated when they do not prevail. I have found that when buyers fully understand the entire home buying process, they are more willing to continue the home hunt, so be sure to explain to your buyers how the process unfolds. Here are some tips to consider when making a strong offer: • Sellers like information on the buyers they will choose to work with.
Pay close attention at how many days the homes were offered on the market for sale, prior to obtaining the pending offer, along with any price reductions that may have taken place. So, along with the lender approval letter, it can be good to i nclude ba n k statements, to prove the buyer’s dow n payment and closing cost money, and perhaps share their FICO score. In addition, tell the sellers where the buyers work, how long they have been employed • SEE MCCOY PAGE 9

there. • A hand written letter from the buyers, along with a picture of them, telling the sellers why and how much they like the home, will add a human touch. This can be important to some of the segmental sellers. • Create a current market evaluation with recently sold homes and pending homes in the same area. Pay close attention at how many days the homes were offered on the market for sale, prior to obtaining the pending offer, along with any price reductions that may have taken place. This information will help the buyers make their best offer price upfront, since most likely, there will only be one shot to seal the deal. • Talk with the seller’s agent prior to writing the offer, find out as much information on the sellers particular situation as possible. Try to find out what is important to the sellers. Whether they want a short close on their home or a long close, have the buyers be as accommodating as possible. This will give your offer an advantage over the others. • Ante up a “healthy,” good faith deposit, up front. This will show the sellers how serious the buyers really are. Since the good faith money is deposited into the third-party escrow account and is applied towards the buyer’s total down payment monies, why not offer it up early? • Shorten of the contingency time frame to 10 days instead of the standard 17 days, with regards to home inspection, roof inspection, etc. This will help make the seller feel less stressed and more at ease with the offer. • Offer to have your buyers pay for some of the extras that the sellers would normally pay. Things like the home warranty or offer to pay some of the sell-
er’s one-time escrow closing cost fees. Rest assured, the seller’s agent will tally up all the costs in the contract to provide the bottom line price to the sellers and compare with all offers. • If you can, offer a free rent back to the sellers until they move into their new home. This makes the move much easier and has won more sellers over then you can believe. This might be the deciding factor for the sellers to choose your offer. • Consider your buyers purchasing the home in an as-is condition, subject to inspections. The sellers may be worried that will have to pay too many out of pocket expenses for repairs. • Do not ask for any personal items, unless they are already listed in the multiple listing service printouts. Sometimes, a simple item requested by the buyers could be for an item that the sellers have an emotional attachment to, such as a yard fountain that could have been a wedding gift. This puts a negative feeling on the offer. • Consider adding a buffer to the interest rate in the offer, this way if the rate goes up slightly, the seller can still rely on the offer. • Use the Title Company of the seller’s choice. The extra cost, if any, will only vary by a few dollars more or less and shows that you are willing to make the transaction as easy as possible for the sellers. • Keep the offer as simple and straightforward as possible. Avoid using too many contingencies or hand written changes. Keep in mind accommodating the seller could win the home.

6 tips that save time, labor on gardening It's summertime, and you'll want to spend many sun-drenched hours in the great outdoors. But while Mother Nature is flourishing, it feels like you're wasting too many precious summer afternoons and evenings doing chores in the yard and garden. Give some of these labor-saving tips a try so you have more time for your favorite summer activities.
1. Get organized
Nothing wastes time like having to search around for misplaced trowels, seed packets and garden rakes. It's worth the time and effort to create a zone in your garage or shed that's just for gardening and yard care tools. Use organizing tools like pegboards and repurposed containers to keep like items grouped together. A dollar-store photo album is perfect for keeping seed packets and plant care sticks or-

3. Lighten container pots
Larger container pots add color and dimension to any yard or patio. Trouble is, they can get heavy and hard to move. Before planting, fill the bottom half of the empty container with packing peanuts. Then, fit a piece of landscaping fabric on top. This lets the water drain through, but still barricades soil. Fill the rest of the container with soil, add the plants, and, voila! Your containers are now several pounds lighter and much easier to move.
4. Automate watering
Watering your lawn and garden is not only physically taxing, it's easy to forget. Between over-watering and under-watering, it can also be tough to get just right. Luckily, there's a new generation of irrigation tools that let you customize and automate your watering schedule for the entire yard with a smartphone app. T h e G r o 7-Z o n e Controller is an easy-toi nsta l l sma r t i r r igat ion system that uses real-time weat her dat a to t a i lor watering schedules to your law n's need s.

6. Win the war on weeds
If unwanted weeds start surfacing in garden beds, try this easy, chemical-free fix. Start by placing newspaper and cardboard on top of the soil, leaving a little space around the stems of the garden plants. Then, cover the entire surface with a layer of mulch. This barrier blocks weeds from emerging at the surface a nd lets you cross t hat chore off your list for the rest of the season. The summer season is all too brief.

Build boldly with these 4 features of decking If you're planning to create an outdoor living space, advanced decking enables you to show off your creativity. For years, complex deck designs have been difficult to achieve with traditional lumber. But, with advances in today's decking materials, you have the flexibility to create virtually any design to reflect your style. The possibilities of creating a bold deck design are only limited by your imagination. For example, did you love hopscotch while growing up? Build a hopscotch board into your deck. Maybe you are an avid musician; why not design your deck in a giant guitar shape? Let your imagination run wild with these four features of composite decking that will help your bold designs come to life.
elements and frequent use so you have less work in the long term.
1. Durable above ground
For those who enjoy the natural serenity of your backyard, consider the benefits of composite boardwalks in your backyard oasis. Installing low-lying composite boardwalks on the ground in order to tie in naturally with your yard's landscaping is an increasingly popular option for homeowners seeking a backyard escape from the hustle of the day. With the use of advanced deck ing in your boardwalk, you can take a relaxing stroll through your backyard without the worry of rotten boards and splinters, and you can create a path to the garden without tracking mud back to the house.
W hen you are considering a bold backyard design, an important factor is the durability of your building materials. If you are going to create a design that you enjoy, you will want it to last a long time. Think about the use a deck gets in the course of the year; from weather exposure to food stains, traditional decks lose their luster i n a re a s of h ig h t r a f f ic or exposure. The maintenance time investment of keeping your deck in tiptop shape could be spent enjoying your creation rather than working on it. Composite decking is manufactured for durability against the

Chances are, a quick look at social media, TV or even a magazine will flood your vision with vivid images of beautiful outdoor living spaces anchored by large, curved decking. No, these decks are not Hollywood magic or an optical illusion. Such decks are possible due to a building technique ca lled "deck bending." Composite boa rds, like MoistureShield composite decking, are made, in part, with recycled plastic, which makes them f lexible when heated properly. This flexibility makes your wildest design ideas possible for a truly bold and personalized look.

Create a bathroom worthy of any man cave Every guy wants his own man cave, right? But an amazing bathroom is rarely part of that equation. Instead, too many men see a bathroom for its functionality when it could be about luxury, too. Why can't you have both? It is possible to create a bathroom worthy of every modern gent and the tips below will show you how to make your bathroom into a space you will love to use. • A fresh coat of paint. Switch out that drab white or brown with a soothing blue or another color that catches your attention. And don't be afraid to hang some art or photographs on the wall. Having something to look at besides the mirror will make you want to spend more time in the bathroom.
• Finally, a throne. Comfort and luxury should be staples in every facet of your bathroom, including your toilet. Luckily, the right upgrades can turn any toilet into a throne, especially with TOTO's WASHLET S550e with EWATER+. This highly advanced personal cleansing system leads to a new level of luxury and hygiene. A unique, self-cleaning wand offers comfortable warm water to cleanse. You can adjust the temperature and pressure as you see fit for total control. Once the washing cycle is complete, gentle warm air follows to dry. No need for toilet paper, which saves money and benefits the planet. In addition, TOTO's WASHLET features hightech innovations such as
• Warm up the floors. Your toilet seat needn't be the only thing in your bathroom that's heated. In fact, installing heated floors in your bathroom can provide a much-appreciated dose of comfort once cooler temperatures kick in.

The G Series Rain Shower offers touch button multimode water technologies, allowing you to choose the kind of shower you desire.
