Maintaining Your gas grill

4 Tips

Maintaining a gas grill can help it ensure it’s around to cook delicious meals for years to come 1. Clean the outside of the grill lid.

A paper towel and some cleaner can help gas grill owners keep their grills looking good on the outside. If your grill has a porcelain-coated lid, use glass cleaner. Stainless steel cleaner can be applied to stainless steel lids. When cleaning a stainless steel grill, use a microfiber towel and buff with the grain instead of against it for

the best results.

2. Don’t overlook the side tables.

Keeping these tables clean can prevent the formation of potentially harmful bacteria and also maintain the appearance of the grill.

Use a microfiber towel and stainless steel cleaner, again making sure to buff with the grain, if cleaning a stainless steel side table. Tables made of thermoset plastic can be cleaned using a mild dish detergent and warm water.

3. Don’t shy away from cleaning the cook box.

The cook box can seem like an intimidating part to clean, but it’s actually quite simple to maintain

the cook box. Wait until the grill is completely cool before you carefully remove the cooking grates. Then use a stainless steel brush to brush all excess grease and debris into the bottom tray. Once all of that is in the tray, it’s easily discarded.

4. Burn off leftover residue.

Let heat help you when trying to remove stubborn food debris from your grill. Turn all burners on high for 15 minutes before grilling.

As the temperatures rise, any remaining debris will turn to ash, making it easy to remove using a stainless steel brush.

SAVE FOR THE DOWN PAYMENT

6

When you buy a house, you have to put down a large amount of money to secure your purchase. The larger the down payment, the smaller your mortgage loan will be. Keep in mind that if your down payment is less than 20 per cent of the total purchase cost, you’ll also have to pay for mortgage default insurance each month.

As you’re saving, pay attention to your credit score, which is a determining factor in how good of a mortgage you’ll get.

EmErging DEck TrEnDs

4 Trends

Custom-built decks can expand usable outdoor entertaining spaces. Decks can surround pools and create outdoor patio areas that make it easy to establish multi-tiered living spaces, improving the functionality of outdoor areas.

Certain deck trends have emerged as industry experts’ top picks for the upcoming remodeling and renovation season. For those thinking of revamping an existing deck, or building an entirely new one, these trends are on point.

1. Roof-top decking Urban areas also can benefit from decking to create usable outdoor spaces. In fact, many new condominium and townhouse communities are incorporating roof-top decks into their designs, particularly in communities with water views or other impressive vistas. Roof-top decks should feature light-colored materials and fixtures to help keep the area cool even in direct sunlight.

2. Wooden walkways: Decking can be the more traditional design people envision with a patio table or outdoor furniture. But it also can consist of wooden walkways or a low-laying patio to accentuate the yard.

3. Mixed materials: Homeowners may be inspired by commercial eateries,

breweries and urban markets in their exterior design choices.

Decks featuring composite materials and aluminum railings blend sophistication, urban appeal and comfort. Some decking manufacturers have recently introduced low-maintenance composite deck boards that mimic the look and feel of distressed, rustic hardwood flooring. This weathered appearance gives the look of age without the upkeep of real aged wood.

4. Personal touches: Homeowners can customize their decks with personal touches.

It’s not unheard of to wrap columns in stone or glass tiles for more impact. And a vast array of decking colors now enables fun interpretations for outdoor areas.

Container gardening for beginners

4 Tips

The benefits of container gardening go beyond

making gardening accessible to everyone. Many plants grown in containers are less susceptible to disease than plants grown in the soil, which can reduce reliance on potentially harmful pesticides.

Container gardens also tend to be easier to maintain than traditional gardens, making gardening more doable for people with especially hectic schedules.

Container gardening can be simple, and novices can consider these tips when planning and ultimately

tending to their first garden 1. Conduct a light audit Walk around your home to determine where your plant can be placed so it gets as much light as it needs to thrive. Some plants need a lot of light, while others can thrive with a lot less 2. Make sure containers have ample drainage The gardening experts at Good Housekeeping note that drainage holes are essential when choosing containers. Waterlogged soil can be fatal for plants, so there must be ample drainage in the container. Don’t focus too much on the size of the holes, just make sure that they allow

excess water to drain out from the pot.

3. Don’t forget to feed your plants Potting soil won’t necessarily have nutrients that plants can access, so many container gardeners must fertilize the soil so plants can thrive.

4. Seek advice Local gardening centers can be great resources for novice container gardeners. Such centers can recommend plants with a history of thriving in the area as well as plants that might be more compatible when containers are placed next to one another.
