• “If you have a spade with a long handle, you can transfer common measurements to the handle. Just lay a tape measure alongside the handle, and use a black marker to note common spacing, like feet and inches. Then, when you put in plants, you can check quickly whether they are spaced correctly. Very handy!” — P.E. in Arkansas

• Here’s a recipe for a quickie bird feeder or bath: Flip over a nice-size flower pot, and place the pot’s tray on the top. Fill with seed or water. The birds will thank you — maybe even by eating some nuisance bugs along with the seed.
It will keep the fibers together and stiffen it enough to be easily threaded.
• It is possible to save a bit of money on car maintenance if you can’t change your own oil. Learn common add-ons you will be offered at oil and lube places. Air filters are surprisingly easy to replace on your own, and so are windshield wipers. Very often, the staff of auto-supply chains will lend you tools or even assist you right in the parking lot.
• “Garden tool storage doesn’t have to be hard. Fill a wide-mouth bucket with clean sand. Add a half quart of motor oil and stir. Then use the sand to clean and store your garden tools like shovels, rakes or hoes. The sand/oil mixture helps clean the metal surfaces, and the heaviness of the container lets you stick them in the sand without fear of everything falling down, like it would if you leaned them along a wall.” — E. in North Carolina

Home renovations are significant undertakings. Though some projects require more sizable investments of time and money than others, all merit homeowners’ attention and inspire some excitement when pondering the finished product.
A finished product tends to offer more appeal when the project is overseen and undertaken by a professional contractor. Small projects may be in the wheelhouse of skilled doit-yourselfers, but most homeowners are best served leaving home renovations to the professionals. Finding the right contractor for a given job is of the utmost importance, and the following are some tips to help homeowners do just that.
• Seek word-of-mouth recommendations. Word-ofmouth advertising has long been recognized as an invaluable tool to attract customers, and for good reason. A 2025 report on the state of the roofing industry provided by Roofing Contractor, the official publication for the International Roofing Expo ® , found that 79 percent of homeowners identify word-of-mouth as the top way to find a roofing professional. Word-of-mouth is so valued because homeowners can ask friends or neighbors about their experiences with a given professional in a pressure-free setting. Word-of-mouth also can help homeowners cut down on the pool of potential contractor candidates, which is no small
benefit in markets flooded with renovation professionals.
• Secure multiple written estimates. It can be timeconsuming to speak to multiple contractors and secure written estimates from each one, but such legwork is well worth the effort if the end result is finding the right contractor. Secure multiple estimates even if the first one provided to you is below budget. Multiple estimates allow homeowners to compare what’s included, and not included, in each one. Some contractors offering low estimates may not include materials costs or additional factors that will increase the price. Others may seem more expensive initially but may prove more affordable than competitors if their estimates include all of the costs associated with the project. Only a direct comparison of multiple estimates, which should include details specific to the project and
an itemized list of what will be provided and performed by the contractor, can give homeowners an idea of what they’re paying for.
• Stay local when possible. Hiring local contractors is beneficial for a number of reasons. Hiring locals keeps money in the community and thus supports the local economy. And working with local contractors can make it easier for homeowners to keep lines of communication open. Many projects also require a little post-completion upkeep or even some tweaks, which is more easily accomplished when working with contractors based nearby. And finally, local contractors will be familiar with building codes and other details specific to a given town. That familiarity can ensure a project is done in adherence to codes and not stalled by permit- or inspection-related delays.
• Confirm their insurance. Travelers Insurance urges
homeowners to confirm a contractor is properly insured and bonded prior to signing a contract. Contractors should be willing to provide a certificate of insurance (COI) that indicates their provider, policy number and coverage limits. Travelers also notes homeowners can contact insurers directly to verify coverage and ensure the policy is current. Never hire a contractor who is uninsured or unwilling to provide proof of insurance.
Hiring a contractor to perform a home renovation may be a leap of faith, but homeowners can take steps to ensure they find the right professional for the job.
Home Improvement
A number of factors can affect how well a garden or lawn takes root. Watering is a key element of any landscape care strategy, and one that homeowners should educate themselves about if they want to maintain a lush, healthy lawn throughout spring and summer. Homeowners hoping to keep their lawns lush and green throughout summer can learn some effective watering strategies to achieve that goal.
Check the irrigation system
Water Sense ®, an EPA Partnership Program, advises following four steps at the start of spring: inspect, connect, direct, and select for clock timer-controlled irrigation systems. Make sure the system doesn’t have any clogged, broken or missing sprinkler heads. Examine points where the sprinkler heads attach to pipes or hoses to make sure there are no leaks. The EPA says even a leak as small as the
tip of a pen can waste 6,300 gallons of water per month. Adjust the sprinkler heads so that they only hit the landscape elements rather than sidewalks or driveways. Align the watering schedule with the seasons.
Invest in an impact sprinkler
An impact sprinkler on a tripod can be an effective option for those without built-in irrigation systems. These sprinklers rotate in circles to help deliver an even spray of water that mimics rainfall. It’s easy to adjust their spray pattern and a sprinkler on a tripod can spray over the top of bushes and flower gardens.
Drip irrigation systems are superior
According to Rainbird.com, drip irrigation tubing and emitters slowly distribute water to the right spots of a landscape. They can be placed at ground level or buried underground. Water soaks directly to the roots, minimizing water loss from runoff and evaporation. Some research suggests drip irrigation can effectively cover 25 percent more area than the average sprinkler system. It also tends to deliver more than 95 percent water efficiency.
Skip the schedule
Watering a lawn or garden should not be ruled by a schedule, but other factors that will determine when water is needed, suggests Family Handyman. Daytime temperatures, wind conditions, soil type, lawn type, and recent rainfall will determine how much water the landscape really needs. Overwatering can be just as bad as underwatering. For those with underground watering systems, water sensors can trigger the system to turn on rather than a time on a clock.
Avoid midday watering
The sun is hottest in the middle of the day. Watering during this time means that much of the water will be lost to evaporation before it can get to thirsty lawns and plants.
It pays to be smart about watering. Homeowners also can consider rain collection barrels or well water usage and be more eco-conscious about their watering efforts.

SALVATION PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father I know that you love me even though I have broken your laws. I have heartfelt sorrow for my sins and I ask that you forgive my sins and direct my life. I believe Jesus shed his blood and died for my sins, was buried and was bodily raised to life on the third day. I ask Jesus to be my Savior and my Lord. I pray in the NAME of JESUS, Your Beloved Precious Eternal SON. Amen.

LOCAL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SDS Heating & Cooling
BY JENNIFER COATES
When Steve Schuttert, a lifelong resident of Coventry, was still in high school, his future was headed in an unusual direction. A skilled guitarist and composer of original music, Steve’s talents had been noticed by the famous Berklee College of Music when he was only 17. Steve went on to attend this prestigious college in Boston until he ultimately realized that, though his guitar would always play a part in his life, it would not BE his future.
Enter the career Steve Schuttert was born to do ~ a highly sought-after, highly trained technician who now owns his own company, SDS Heating & Cooling, who is constantly growing professionally and working to expand his business, and who holds a dual license as both Master Pipefitter and Master Refrigeration. The same dedication and discipline he demonstrated as a musician,
accompanied by the unbendable work ethic he inherited from his German immigrant great-grandfather, are now the trademarks of this successful heating and cooling specialist.
Today, SDS Heating & Cooling is a premier business that operates throughout the region. Steve officially began his career in 2001when he earned his Oil Burner license. In 2013, he became a Master Pipefitter, and in 2015, he incorporated SDS Heating & Cooling. Being a licensed Master Pipefitter requires a high level of skill, expertise, and training. As a Master Pipefitter, Steve worked tirelessly to build his business and to stretch himself professionally.
Last year, with years of experience under his belt, Steve completed the strenuous process of earning his Master Refrigeration license. A Master Refrigeration license signifies an even higher level of expe-
rience and expertise, allowing technicians like Steve to work without restrictions on the type of refrigeration equipment they can handle. With his years of training and experience, including receiving two national awards in 2024, Steve is licensed in all areas of heating and cooling, from residential to commercial properties. He installs, maintains, and repairs heating, ventilation, air
conditioning and refrigeration systems.
Lately Steve has been busy installing the increasingly popular Mini-split systems, including ducted systems, alongside his “bread & butter” jobs that involve boilers, furnaces, radiant heating and roof-tip replacement air filters, to name but a few. Everything Steve does, he does at a level of excellence that exceeds his competitors.
Steve could be described as the ultimate problem-solver who is reliable, honest, meticulous, and hard-working. To make himself even more accountable to his customers, Steve does an in-person Manual “J” report to determine the most accurate and optimal size of heating and cooling equipment needed for any building.
One of the best business decisions Steve ever made
was to partner with Synchrony Bank to help his clients finance their heating & cooling projects. Nothing should stand in your way. Steve Schuttert of SDS Heating & Cooling can be reached at 401-419-8752 (cell) or 401-304-6957 (work). You can learn more about SDS at the website www.sdsheating.com or on Facebook and Instagram.

someone close could have the news you’ve been waiting for.
Impatience with those who don’t keep up with you can cause resistance, which, in turn, can lead to more delays. It’s best to be helpful and supportive if you want good results.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Certain issues in the workplace could put you in the middle of a dispute you’d rather not deal with. Express your honest feelings before the pressure to take sides builds up.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A surprise announcement from a colleague could put you on the defense. Gather your facts and respond. You’ll soon find the situation shifting in your favor.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel uneasy disagreeing with someone you’ve been close to. But your relationship should be able to withstand and even thrive when you confront your true feelings.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The time spent away from a project pays off with a new awareness of options that you hadn’t considered before. Weigh them carefully before deciding which to choose.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Consider confronting a personal conflict while there’s still time to work things out. A delay can cause more problems. A longtime colleague might offer to mediate.

LIBRA (September 23 to October
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Patience is called for as you await word on an important workplace situation. A personal circumstance, however, could benefit by your taking immediate action.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) New contacts help you learn some important information about upcoming developments. The week calls for the Sea Goat to be more flexible than usual in a number of matters.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Don’t lose confidence in yourself. Those doubters are likely to back off if you demand that they show solid proof as to why they think your ideas won’t work.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With both change and uncertainty in your aspect, you might feel less confident in a previous decision. This is OK. Check it out and see where it could be modified, if necessary.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A temporary setback might cause some unsettling moments for the usually sure-footed Goat. But keep going! The path ahead gets easier as you move forward.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) There’s welcome news from the workplace. There could also be good news involving a relationship that has long held a special meaning for you.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of what’s right can inspire others if you remember not to push too hard to make your case. Moderation works best for you.
