Huge 4100 sq ft over height shop, which includes a 240 sq ft office and full bathroom, flows into the 1200 sq ft attached rancher. The walls and flooring are constructed with concrete. Of the 30 some acres approx. 10 acres are cleared with many outbuildings (26 x 26 barn, 18 x 108 greenhouse), the balance is forest. Other buildings house chickens, ducks, goats, and there is still plenty of room for additional planting to expand on the 400 grape plants, fruit trees, or open garden area. The property runs from the Island Highway to Fowler Road at the rear, with a generous producing well. The south section may be an ideal site for another home which would overlook the Arrowsmith Golf Course and Mount Arrowsmith. While the home seems small in proportion to the size of the property, the quality or construction and amenities make up for any short fall; the deep jetted tub, large kitchen island, and unique flooring, topped off with a metal roof that blends over the shop. $699,000.

Is a kitchen island a practicality for your renovation projects? Homeowners planning a kitchen remodel are no doubt considering whether to include a kitchen island in the new design. When the space allows, an island can be a fine way to enhance the look of a kitchen and impart an upscale appeal. Interest in kitchen islands has grown steadily for the past several decades. Introduced in the 1970s, islands became a popular place for guests to congregate and provided extra counter space for meal preparation and entertaining. The suburban migration led to bigger homes with larger kitchens. Through the 1980s and 1990s, homes grew even larger, and islands became a popular feature of kitchens across the country. The increase in food-based programming on television has also contributed to the popularity of kitchen islands. As more people dabble with preparing their own gourmet meals, kitchen islands have become more convenient. Although there are many benefits to an
island in the kitchen, there are also some disadvantages to kitchen islands. Weighing all the options can help homeowners design a kitchen layout that is functional, affordable and practical for the space they have.
Pros Arguably the most significant advantage to having a kitchen island is the added space it provides. Many times islands are built with cabinetry that matches the rest of the kitchen design, and those cabinets provide storage space for pots, pans and other kitchen tools. Islands may double the storage space available in the kitchen. Kitchen islands are also advantageous when preparing meals. Kitchen counter space can be easily gobbled up by toaster ovens, rotisserie cookers, microwaves, coffee makers, and various other countertop appliances. These appliances can take up valuable real estate that's sorely missed when preparing meals. An island can be used solely for cooking and preparation,
and some homeowners have incorporated cutting boards and a prep sink into the design of the island. Islands also can be customized according to a homeowner's needs. Instead of simply having cabinetry beneath the counter, some opt to have a wine cooler or even a bookshelf for keeping cookbooks within reach. An additional small dishwasher or beverage refrigerator may be tucked into the design of the island. For others, the island may be a makeshift kitchen office space.
Cons Expense is a leading negative factor with regard to a kitchen island. The additional material necessary and the labor involved in installation may bust some homeowners' budgets. Stationary islands can cost several thousand dollars to install, and this is money a homeowner may be better off investing elsewhere. In smaller kitchens, an island may be impractical because of the space limitation.
Islands are typically at the heart of the kitchen and may interfere with walking space or cause clearance issues when the refrigerator door or cabinet doors are open. For homeowners who find space is at a premium in the kitchen, an island may not be the best idea. However, a rolling island that can be moved into position when needed, then stored in a convenient, out-of-the-way location might be a viable option. Depending on the complexity of a kitchen island, its installation may extend the amount of time required to complete the kitchen renovation. This can prolong the length of time needed to complete the work. Running a gas or electric line and plumbing to the island may require a major overhaul and demolition. Kitchen islands are popular components of home designs. Before homeowners engage in any kitchen renovation that may include the incorporation of an island, they should know the advantages and disadvantages.

The dos and don'ts of basement finishing
Remodeling a basement is a popular home improvement project. A finished basement makes the space more functional and, when done correctly, can add a considerable amount of living space to a home. Finishing a basement pays dividends in additional space in a home that doesn't require the same level of investment as putting an addition on the house. Also, the groundwork for a finished room is already there, as most basements are already set up with a poured concrete floor and some walls, usually cinder blocks. Some electrical components, plumbing and the creature comforts of drywall and a more inviting floor might be all that's necessary to finish a basement. The process can be labor-intensive, and many people prefer to leave it to a professional contractor. Whatever finishing method is chosen, homeowners should follow the proper procedures when doing the work. DO start with a detailed plan. Measure out the basement and mark any items that cannot be moved, such as a furnace, water heater or pipes. Create a design board that showcases the materials you plan to use on the project. Think about ways you plan to arrange furniture and consider all of the possible uses for the room. Will it be a home theater? Will someone be sleeping down there? Each scenario will require certain
Popular items that can be purchased locally
Many consumers prefer to buy locally when shopping. There are several advantages to choosing local products, including the benefit of aiding your local economy by supporting a business with roots in your community. Dealing with an individual or small enterprise instead of a billion-dollar operation is another reason people are drawn to local stores and businesses. Spring and summer are great times of year to shop locally, as the warmer weather facilitates strolling community shops and business districts. The following items are popular among consumers who emphasize buying local when making their purchases.
customer-service driven. What’s more, if ever a problem arises, it’s much easier to go into a local business and discuss concerns face-to-face instead of dealing with an unknown person answering phones at a corporate call center.
Produce
Food
If you desire fresher fruits and vegetables, then shopping locally is the way to go. A lot of produce is grown and imported from South and Central America, and such produce can take a long time to arrive on supermarket shelves. As a result, the flavour and freshness of fruits and vegetables shipped from afar might be compromised. The best way to get peak-season produce is to buy items that come from local providers.
Dining out is a different experience when you select independent restaurants over national chains. Chefs at independently owned restaurants have a greater say over ingredients and menu choices than those at franchise establishments, and you may be introduced to foods you had never before dreamed of trying. Restaurants that team up with local food suppliers offer a double-dose of regional commerce and fresher ingredients. If you’re new to the area, browse the local newspaper, community direct-mailers and coupon books to find dining establishments in your area. There are numerous benefits to shopping locally and ideal ways to get started in your town or city.
Home services If you’re in the market for a new air conditioning unit or are considering a home renovation, using a local, licensed contractor is often the smart way to go. Rather than dealing with the red tape of a larger outfit that may subcontract its work, local businesses are often more
Crafts The home-based arts and crafts industry has undergone a rebirth. Many of the items offered in local craft shops are handmade by local artisans and not mass-produced in overseas factories. Local artisans may be your best bet when shopping for unique arts and crafts full of detail and quality.
amenities and safety requirements. DON'T plan to finish the entire basement. Doing so will leave you without a storage or utility area where you house holiday decorations, tools, luggage and similar items. DO get the scoop on building codes. Knowing what the municipality allows in basement remodeling will help you to customize a plan that is functional, safe and legal. No one wants to be slapped with fines for failing to follow the rules. Plus, failure to meet building codes could mean the work that has been done must be torn out and redone. It pays to follow the chain of command and secure permits while having all work inspected. DON'T overlook adequate lighting in your refinishing plan. A basement is likely one area of the house that has limited natural light pouring in. With traditionally small windows, or no windows at all, a basement needs ample lighting in its design scheme. This may include a combination of overhead and task lighting. Ample lighting will help the room feel like part of the house and not just a forgotten storage area. DO take into consideration moisture issues in the basement. Many basements are plagued by moisture issues ranging from water seepage to condensation forming on walls. These situations may vary depending on the weather throughout the year. Certain materials may need to be used to mitigate water issues before finishing can take place. The installation of water-barrier systems, drainage, sump pumps, or encapsulation products could drive up the cost of a basement renovation. It is essential to have a professional assess the basement water issues prior to starting any finishing work. DON'T simply cover up potential hazards, such as mold or mildew. Have them treated instead. Otherwise, you could have a breeding ground behind drywall that could lead to unsafe conditions in the home. DO have a radon test. Radon is a hidden killer that can cause lung cancer. Because it occurs naturally in the soil and water surrounding a home and is impossible to detect without a specialized test, many people are unaware of the presence of radon until it is too late. Radon may be more concentrated in the basement, where the foundation is touching the soil. Therefore, rule out radon before considering renovation of a basement area. DON'T limit furniture choices to one type. You may need to be flexible in your furniture choices, even selecting modular pieces, like sectionals, because entryways to basements may have small doorways or obstructions that make adding furniture more challenging. DO keep the possibility of flooding in the back of your head. Homes that are near waterways or at low elevation may be at risk of flooding. Basements are especially susceptible to flood damage. Therefore, think about the practicality of finishing a basement if you are prone to flooding. If you decide to move ahead, take certain precautionary measures, such as keeping electrical wiring up higher and using a more water-resistant flooring material, like tile or vinyl. House important electronics and items on shelves so they are not at ground-level. Finishing a basement is a job that can add a lot of usable space to a home. Go about the project in the right way to keep within budget and have a room that is safe and functional.

Wayne Dumbrell
Dear Neighbours and Friends: This is an open letter from Wayne Dumbrell. Many of you know me as a local realtor who has, since 1989, successfully owned and operated a chain of real estate offices on Vancouver Island. Some of you may not be aware however that I also own and operate, along with my daughter Denise, the Dominion Lending Oceanside Mortgage and Lending offices in Parksville and Nanaimo. Since selling the Vancouver Island Coldwell Banker chain of real estate offices to the Slegg family in November 2012, Sharon, Denise & I have maintained our status as licensed realtors in the community, focusing our attention not only in serving our clients real estate needs, but also assisting Denise in providing their complete mortgage and lending needs. I have been training successful realtors for over 20 years all over the Island and now I am hands on in applying that expertise locally. Our professional team of mortgage experts places approximately thirty million plus dollars in mortgages annually, as well as providing private funding arrangements when required. We have worked with hundreds of people such as yourselves to achieve affordable and satisfactory mortgages, many not realizing we were involved. We shop for the best value on your behalf. Purchasing and financing a home doesn’t have to be a complicated procedure, if you have the right professionals guiding you through the process. It has always been very rewarding for myself and Denise to obtain mortgages and mortgage renewals for our clients at a much lower rate than they currently may be paying, or being offered. More importantly our experienced staff will present the best options that are available for you. Let us talk in person. If you are buying a home, shopping for a mortgage, refinancing a commercial business, or require the services of the best full service realty team on Vancouver Island, pick up the phone or drop by and talk to us in person.

This includes the removal of any obstructions such as shelving or cabinets as well as any storage directly in front of the panel(s) 2- Make sure that hot water tanks are clear for access on all sides where possible, and insure that the data plate for the water heater is visible where possible. Some times this requires opening of the insulated foil jacket around some tanks found in unconditioned (uninsulated) areas. 3- Make sure that any furnaces are clear for access and inspections on all sides where possible 4- Make sure that any crawlspace hatches are cleared for access where applicable, and that the crawlspace is not cluttered with storage 5- Make sure that all breakables are

9- If the home is vacant or is not inspected during the heating season, make sure that any boilers, furnaces, water heaters, or gas/propane fireplaces are operational (pilot lights lit) prior to the home inspection 10- If the home is vacant or is not inspected during the heating season, make sure that any oil or propane burning systems have fuel for testing 11- If the home is vacant, ensure that the main water supply is on prior to the inspection 12- If the home is vacant make sure that the main electrical power has been turned on prior to the home inspection 13- Make sure that “indoor only” pets or pets that are not friendly to strangers have been temporarily relocated or crated prior to the inspection. IMPORTANT If the home is under control of a bank or management company due to foreclosure, the utilities have often been shut off completely, limiting the inspection.

Property Disclosure Statement Buying a home is a significant investment and requires careful evaluation. In 1991, the BC Real Estate Association, the provincial association for REALTORS®, introduced the Property Disclosure Statement (PDS). This document is a detailed form that asks a property seller to disclose any defects to a prospective buyer. The PDS is not required by law. However, the REALTORS® of BC decided to make the PDS – and its complementary forms the Strata Property Disclosure Statement and the Rural Property Disclosure Statement – available to any client wanting to list a home on the MLS®. The PDS can be legally incorporated into the Contract for Purchase and Sale. The PDS goes beyond current legal disclosure obligations and itemizes potential problems for prospective buyers, such as buried fuel storage tanks, asbestos insulation, unauthorized rental suites, renovations done without a permit, moisture problems, unregistered easements or encroachments, and whether the home was ever used as a grow-op or drug lab. The Strata Property Disclosure Statement covers a range of condominium-specific issues such as parking and storage allocations, special assessments, restrictions on age, pets or rentals and building envelope problems. The Rural Property Disclosure Statement identifies issues related to rural land, such as the quality of well water, septic systems and flooding problems. In some situations, such as an estate sale, the seller may not have enough information to complete the PDS, and the buyer will need to rely on other sources of information. The PDS is also not a legally binding warranty of the property’s condition. It is only a report of what the seller knows about the property. Although the PDS is never a substitute for a thorough, professional home inspection, it is a great place for buyers to begin their due diligence investigation into any home they are hoping to purchase. This article was prepared by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board“An Association of Realtors”, for the information and benefit of consumers.
