TAME YOUR GARAGE THIS SPRING I
s your garage a hazardous obstacle course with a jumble of clutter everywhere, waiting to inflict a painful wound or bruise, making it impossible to find items stored out there somewhere or preventing you from using it for its primary purpose — to park your car
or truck? Do you walk through your garage every day thinking "it’s time to clean-up this beast?" If you really want to conquer this monster and restore order to your garage, I have great news. Yes, you can make it happen! All you need is a game plan.
First, before you start, plan your attack for a weather-friendly weekend because you will need to drag out everything — yes, everything — in your garage. This will be a physically challenging job, but when it’s complete you will have burned hundreds of calories and gained new pride in yourself for finally launching this long-delayed job. Second, if you’re planning to toss out loads of trash and other nonhazardous materials, you might want to rent a dumpster. Loading a dumpster is easier that carrying assorted throw-aways to the curb and letting the neighbors check out your trash. Most areas have businesses that rent dumpsters of varying sizes — check the internet or your local phone directory. Drag everything out of your garage. As you do, put like items together. For example, group all of your lawn
and garden tools in the same area. Do Yes, you will need to part with things likewise for any construction tools you you’ve stored in your garage and have might have, such as ladders, table and long forgotten. For each item ask band saws, air compressor, etc. The yourself these two questions: “Have I same goes for hazardous materials, used it in the past year?” “Do I need it returnable bottles and cans, sports or plan to use it in the near future, for gear, etc. Sort, a specific purpose or sort, sort. project?” Have I used it in the Now that you It can be difficult have everything to part with some of past year? out of your your garage “stuff,” garage, empty Do I need it or plan to use but be honest with your cabinets and yourself. If the it in the near future, for a on shelves. It’s answer to either of specific purpose or project? these questions is the best way to determine — with NO, throw it out an uncluttered or give it away. mind — how you will re-arrange Garage clutter is caused by the everything you plan to keep. Once accumulation of left-over materials you’ve moved all items out of the from a completed project, and items garage and you stand looking at the you have haphazardly placed there conglomeration of materials, decide and drifted from mind. As the clutter what stays and what goes. This is a grows, it gradually eats up space, and critical phase. eventually your garage becomes a
jungle of confusion and wasted space. Moving all items out of your garage will take the better part of a day — if not the entire day — but don’t rush the process. You will be greatly rewarded for taking the time to sort everything into categories — especially those items you are parting with. With the garage empty, take advantage of this opportunity to give it a good cleaning. Sweep and wash the floor. Remove oil stains and spilled paint spots on the concrete. Fill pits in the floor. If you’ve ever thought of putting a coat of epoxy floor coating on your garage floor, this is the perfect time to do it. Now that you can actually see all the space available in your garage and the “stuff” you are keeping, create a storage plan. Consider adding simple storage shelves to the walls for paint or garden materials, installing ceiling racks for ladders or bikes, affixing

LICENSED & INSURED wall hooks for shovels and rakes and using movable storage cabinets for golf clubs, memorabilia or other items that need special storage or protection. Try to arrange everything you’re keeping off the garage floor, or as much as possible. And label the contents of all boxes and storage containers. If you have power tools, such as a table saw, drill press or band saw, make a plan for a work area and position these tools close by. Consider the dust these tools create, and decide how to arrange your work area. Your storage plan should make it easy to clean up this space and keep your garage free of clutter. Finally, plan what you will do with everything you have chosen to toss or giveaway. You can donate selected items to charity, Habitat for Humanity’s Re-Store or hold a garage sale. For the things you are tossing, separate the hazardous materials (cleaning

fluids, paint thinners, lawn and garden chemicals) from the simple garbage. Check the internet, city hall or county government office for local sources where you can unload hazardous materials. The rest of your garage garbage can be thrown into a rented dumpster, set at the curb for the local trash pickup or taken to a nearby landfill. No matter how long it takes to complete your garage clean-up, it will be worth the time and effort when you stand outside and look at the result. Then, of course, the challenge will be to maintain the order you have restored. But that’s another discussion.

BRIGHTEN & EXPAND HOME LIVING By Mary Kay McPartlin
A
fter winter’s chill begins a warm up to spring, many of us are drawn to spending more time outside. With the right environment, we can live just as comfortably outdoors as we do inside our homes. According to HGTV.com there are several trends to watch for in 2018. These trends can be created or modified by one of our local and skilled landscape companies for the perfect yard in Tecumseh.
Rather than the elaborate and fussy landscape designs of the past, more people are looking for a low-maintenance design around their homes. Using more native plants and trees rather than expansive turf in a yard, is very popular right now. Many people are incorporating edible gardens into their landscape beds, mixing flowers, herbs, fruits and vegetable to create beauty and function. Add in natural materials as part of garden design for a look subdued but powerful. Water accents can be small or elaborate, but are a very popular relaxing accent to any home landscape plan. The sound of water is soothing, and fish or water plants bring a delightful beauty. Many homeowners want to focus on a back to earth design that welcomes nature. Plants and water gardens provide birds and wildlife food and water, and the right plants offer shelter for some of Mother Nature’s most entertaining creatures. This may be the year to consider bringing the birds and bees home. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have fresh eggs from backyard chickens or sweet honey from a hive of bees? Outdoor living spaces can mimic the look of indoor rooms
using fabric and furniture designed for comfort, beauty and durability. What better way to enjoy the outside world than to be out in the open air? On warm days, no one wants to slave over a hot stove and heat up the house. A courtyard kitchen is a perfect way to create a meal that doesn’t raise the temperature inside. It’s also a great way to focus on living in the great outdoors. Garden Design Magazine lists additional trends in 2018 for lively landscape design. Small gardens can bring big rewards to a yard, combining container plants and small trees. It’s easy to move containers around to change the look of a yard or to capture the right sun and breeze for optimal growth. Moving an outdoor dining area from right next to the house to a picturesque area deeper in the yard can create a feeling of seclusion. Using plants and landscaping to enclose a yard creates both privacy and beauty without the barrier look of a fence. Finding a one-of-a-kind artisan piece for the yard or utilizing functional art is a great way to express whimsy. Maybe it is time to try a succulent garden to highlight the unique look of these interesting plants.
While we hope for summer to last forever, Tecumseh residents know that winter will return. The backyard can help us find beauty any time of the year through the creation of a landscape that highlights color and texture in every season. All it takes to make a landscape daydream come true is to find the perfect landscaper to create an urban or country utopia.

hinking about selling a Tecumseh home in 2018? Although the spring temperatures in Tecumseh are cool, the current real estate market is red hot. This is definitely the time to put a home on the market, according to realtors in the area.

The national trend of sellers having a distinct advantage is also on point for homeowners in Tecumseh. Real estate markets finally seem to have recovered from the market crash seen in 2008. Jan Hammond, a realtor for Howard Hanna believes sellers have an advantage with buyers motivated by the current low interest rates that are expected to rise by the end of the year. “We’re in the spring market which is the busiest market of the year,” said Hammond. “January and February have been extremely busy,” said Sheila Thompson of Foundation Realty. “It’s been a great year so far. Right now it is a seller's market. It’s easier for buyers to get preapproved.” “I think it’s a seller’s market because there are not enough homes on the market,” Linda

Rudd of Rudd and Associates said. “Buyers need to make sure to make the best offer they can because they might not get a second chance.” Local realtors are seeing competing multiple offers being made on homes. Buyers expecting to negotiate on a price may be in for a rude awakening. “If something gets listed today and you see it on Zillow, you better get on it,” said Thompson. Hammond has noticed older residents of Tecumseh are ready to move out of their homes and into condominiums, making condo sales also on the rise. The saturated market in Washtenaw County is adding to the pool of homebuyers as people are looking to Tecumseh to find the perfect home. First-time homebuyers are

MARCH 22, 2018 | THE TECUMSEH HERALD bringing their special needs to the local housing market. Their FHA and VA loans have specific requirements that must be addressed by home sellers. Much of the focus is on painting. “We advise sellers to freshen up their property,” Thompson said. “Buyers continue to look for homes in good repair and modernized,” said Hammond. “They are not looking for fixer uppers.” “I talk to sellers about how they should make their house as presentable as possible and price it right to sell, and to be prepared because it is going to move,” Rudd said. The first step in the process for homebuyers is to get preapproved for a loan. Realtors have all had the experience of taking people to look at a home they think they can qualify for, only to discover the dream home costs more than a bank will loan them. “They are heartbroken,” said Thompson. She is able to help her buyers find a local lending institution to provide a home loan if they don’t have a mortgage company they are working with already. Tecumseh residents looking to capitalize on the hot market by putting their homes up for sale should move quickly.
“Spring is always the best time to list,” Rudd said. “Buyers start to get spring fever. It’s best to get the house on the market as soon as possible. Think ahead about the condition of the house if you are planning on selling.” Repainting the inside or outside of a home can make a big difference. It pays to consider the age of potential homebuyers when repainting. “Neutral colors still tend to be popular with retirees,” said Hammond. “Color has really come into play for younger buyers.” “I’m always willing to go into someone’s home and give them an idea of what to do,” Rudd said about helping homeowners unsure of what needs updating. For those struggling to find their dream home in Tecumseh, Hammond is reassuring about the future. “Be patient, homes will continue to come on the market,” she said. And Rudd said to sellers, “If it’s priced right it will sell.” “I’m just really proud that Tecumseh is a place that people continue to be interested in,” said Hammond. “It’s a really special place.”

SPRING CLEANING MEANS TIME TO
By Jackie Koch
S
pring is a time when many get the urge to purge their households of accumulated items, but ecologically-minded people may prefer not to add recyclable items to growing landfills. Lenawee County has many options for those who want to make the effort to recycle. The Lenawee County Recycling Center at 398 River St., Adrian, is open to county residents every day of the week from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. with two recycling compactors available. One compactor accepts items such as clean aluminum foil pans, clear and colored glass, recyclable plastic with the numbers one through seven printed on it, and tin cans. The other compactor is for cardboard, chipboard, newspaper and office paper. Cardboard and chipboard should have paper removed and be crushed to save space. Mixed papers including office paper, junk mail, phone books, and magazines should be clean and dry. Newspapers should be clean and dry, as well, and placed in grocery bags. Avoid bundling them with string or rope. Glass containers should be clean and empty, with lids left on the container. There is no need to remove labels. Recyclable plastics should be rinsed and crushed, and lids and rings should be left on bottles. Tin and aluminum should have all labels removed. The county recycling center does not accept broken glass, window glass, non-container glass, aerosol or
paint solvent containers, and no aluminum foil, pie tins, or food trays. Call 264.4511 to advise the county about a jammed unit or other issue.
The Lenawee County Solid Waste Department
lists many recycling resources on its website at
lenawee.mi.us. Locally, Raisin Charter Township has partnered with Tecumseh Township to offer their residents a recycling center open 24 hours a
day, seven days a week at 5525 Occidental Hwy.,
Tecumseh. Acceptable materials include broken down cardboard, recyclable plastics, glass, newspaper and magazines. The facility is monitored by video surveillance, and warns that anyone dumping or placing hazardous materials or garbage into the containers will be prosecuted. Adrian Charter Township Hall at 2907 Tipton Hwy., Adrian, accepts the same recyclable materials that the county recycling center does, and the site is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Used furniture, working appliances, building supplies, and miscellaneous items are accepted at the Habitat ReStore at 1025 W. US-223, Adrian, which uses the items for resale to fund Habitat for Humanity projects. Donations may be made during store hours of Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Call 266.0746 to inquire about appropriate donations. The Adrian location of Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Michigan accepts computers and peripherals with free removal of data on the hard drive. They also offer shredding services, recycling of old clothing, books, and more. The organization’s locations include the main offices at 1357 Division St. and the store at 1400 U.S. 223. For more information, call 263.2135 or visit their website at goodwillsemi.org. Postal Plus, 1416 S. Main St., Adrian, accepts

No alkaline batteries are accepted for recycling. Call 263.3462. Dusseau Auto Parts, Inc., in Adrian at 2423 Treat Hwy., accepts automotive batteries and truck tires with rims. No implement, semi, or heavy equipment tires are accepted. Call 265.5684 for more information. OmniSource, 815 Treat St., Adrian, accepts steel, aluminum, copper, stainless steel, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and appliances. Those appliances that use freon must have a tag indicating that the freon was legally removed. For information call 265.5195. R&M Recycling at 2675 Treat St., Adrian, accepts iron, steel, copper, brass, aluminum, and nickel, as well as junk cars, lawn mowers, and farm equipment,
computers and car batteries. Call 263.9000 for information. Neil’s Yard at 2667 Treat St., Adrian, accepts concrete and asphalt for recycling. The cost is $10 per axle, which would be $20 for a pickup load. Those who want to recycle concrete or asphalt must call the office prior to bringing materials to the location. Call 424.6519. Those who wish to dispose of nonworking microwave ovens, may contact Appliance Jack’s in Adrian at 263.7439. All brands of office electronics may be recycled at the Adrian Staples store, 1416 S. Main St., due to a program between HP and Staples, Inc. to offer free electronics recycling. A certified e-Stewards or R2 recycler will collect materials and have it transported to one of its processing facilities. Contact Staples at 266.1176. Red Med Box is another option at the Raisin Township offices, not for recycling, but for
clearing the home of unwanted medications. Located in the lobby of the Public Safety department at the same address as the recycling center, the Red Med Box accepts expired and unused medications, over-thecounter medications, medication samples, pet medications, medicated ointment, lotion or drops, and unopened Epi-Pens. Prescription drugs and capsules are also accepted at the Lenawee County Sheriff’s Office, the Tecumseh Police Department, the Adrian Police Department, and the Hudson Police Department. Adrian Family Pharmacy at 1325 Main St., Adrian accepts prescription and over-the-counter pills, ointments, liquids, and creams. When clearing out unwanted items, these locations offer many earth-friendly alternatives and lead to re-use rather than letting materials accumulate in landfills, preventing the loss of more land area to trash disposal.
