Improve your home and diet with a vegetable garden
P
High Desert Home Shows | Thursday, April 3, 2014
lanting a garden can add aesthetic appeal and functionality to a property. Vegetable gardens can transform landscapes while putting healthy and homegrown food on the table. By growing their own fruits and vegetables, homeowners have total control over what foods can be harvested, and they can ensure sustainable, safe practices are used to care for the plants. Vegetable gardens can be compact or expansive, depending on how much space is available to cultivate. However, first-time gardeners may want to begin small so they can hone their skills and experiment to see which plants are most likely to thrive in their gardens. Expansion is always a possibility down the road.
Choose a location Spend some time examining your landscape. Vegetables generally need ample warmth and sunlight to thrive, so find an area of the yard that gets several
hours of direct sunlight per day. A sunny spot is good, but you also want a location with adequate drainage so your garden does not succumb to flooding or fungus during and after heavy downpours. Don’t place the garden too close to rain gutters or near a pool, where splash-out may occur. Select a location that is isolated from pets so the plants are not trampled and cats and dogs do not relieve themselves nearby.
Decide what to plant When deciding what to plant, consider what you eat and how much produce the household consumes, then choose vegetables that fit with your diet. Some vegetables, like peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, and squash, produce throughout the season. Others, such as carrots and corn, produce one crop and then expire. Plan accordingly when you purchase plants or seeds, as you want enough food but not so much that it will go to waste.

Choose three to four different vegetables and plant them in the garden. Select varieties that require similar soil conditions, so that you can adjust the pH and mix of the soil accordingly. This will serve as good practice, particularly the first year of your garden. After you have mastered the basics, you can branch out into other produce.
Know when to plant Many of the foods grown in vegetable gardens, including tomatoes and peppers, are summer vegetables, which means they reach peak ripeness after the height of the summer season. Pumpkins, brussel sprouts and peas are planted to be harvested later on. These plants may be put in the ground a little later than others. It is less expensive to start seedlings
indoors and then transplant them to a garden when the time comes. Seeds can be started three to four weeks before they would be put outdoors. Many vegetables are planted outside in April or May, but definitely after frost conditions have waned. Read seed packets to know exactly when to plant or consult with the nursery where you purchased established seedlings. You also can visit The Garden Helper at www.thegarden helper.com/vegtips to find out when to plant, seed depth and how long it takes plants to reach maturity. Vegetable gardens can become central components of outdoor home landscapes. Not only do gardens add aesthetic appeal, but also they produce fresh fruits and vegetables to enjoy throughout the season. — Metro

How to inspect for roof damage M
High Desert Home Shows | Thursday, April 3, 2014
any homeowners do not think twice about their roofs. But when leaks develop, roof repairs and the subsequent costs of such work shed light on how important it is for homeowners to pay closer attention to the roofs over their heads. Though certain roof issues, like shingles lost to inclement weather, are unforeseeable, many problems can be avoided with routine roof inspection. Checking roof conditions twice a year can help homeowners avoid potentially costly repair work or even more expensive roof replacement projects. Spring is a good time to inspect roofs, which are often at the mercy of harsh conditions throughout the winter. Heavy snow, ice and biting winds can do significant damage, making spring the perfect time to assess if any such damage occurred and address any issues. • Start the inspection in the interior of the home. Before breaking out the ladder and climbing up to the roof, inspect the home’s interior, pinpointing potential problems that may indicate roof damage. Check for stains on the ceiling which may indicate leaks that need to be addressed. Homeowners with attics should enter their attics and look for signs of water damage, making note of any damp or wet insulation. This will let you know if water has been entering the attic all winter. Pay attention to the location of any wet spots or stains so you can match them up to the exterior of the roof later on. Musty smells also may be indicative of moisture problems, even if there are no visible leaks. • Inspect the roof outside. Grab a set of binoculars and inspect the exterior of the roof. Look at the roof flashing, including around the chimney and other areas of protruding pipes and vents. If the flashing is warped or damaged, moisture might be settling underneath. Sealant around dormers or skylights can also degrade, resulting in leaks. Check for spalling on masonry, such as the mortar of chimneys. Porous areas will allow water to infiltrate. • Go directly on the roof and check. Work with a partner and carefully climb on the roof while someone holds the ladder below. Walk on the perimeter of the

roof, looking for peeling or warped shingles, missing shingles, holes, or scrapes. If the roof is compromised in any way, it will need to be repaired. The problem will only grow more significant and repairs more expensive if damage is ignored. Sometimes a repair can be as simple as patching a leak with a new shingle and roofing cement. Popped nails can be pounded down and any curled shingles can be nailed or cemented back into place. • Consult a roofing expert. If you are unsure if your roof has made it through the winter unscathed and would like a second opinion or if you find there is considerable damage, contact a roofing contractor. This person will offer a professional assessment of what can be repaired or if the roof should be replaced. If
your roof is metal or features clay tiles, you may not have the expertise to make repairs yourself and will need to hire a professional. • Check the gutters, too. While you are up on the roof, inspect the gutters and downspouts as well. Cracked or damage gutters will cause water to leak down the side of the home, potentially damaging the foundation. Clear any debris or leftover leaves from the gutters to ensure the rain can wash through unobstructed. A post-winter roof inspection can protect homeowners and their families from the elements and reduce the likelihood of potentially costly repairs down the road. — Metro
separate materials like lumber, hardware, fixtures, and even appliances that can be salvaged from those materials that must be discarded. Many communities are home to organizations that collect salvageable materials, and these materials can be reused by fellow homeowners or other organizations down the road. • Speak to contractors about recycling. Contractors working on a home typically know which materials can be recycled in a given area. When discussing prospective projects with contractors, homeowners can mention their willingness to recycle materials. Wood is a versatile material that can be turned into reclaimed or composite wood products, including decks or other items used around the home. Old wood being removed from a home may even work as mulch, which homeowners can spread around their yards to add aesthetic appeal and protect plants on hot summer days. Even asphalt and concrete can be recycled into new products, and homeowners should discuss their wishes to recycle as many materials as possible.

• Choose recycled content building materials. Another way to reduce home improvement project waste is to make use of other homeowners' discarded materials. Recycled content building materials are products that include materials recycled from previous projects. These once-sparse materials are now commonplace, and labels often include the percentages of postconsumer and recovered materials used in each product. Materials such as drywall, insulation, kitchen countertops, glass tiles, carpeting and carpet padding may include recycled content, and the growing popularity of such products has made them relatively simple for homeowners to find. When working with contractors, homeowners should emphasize their desire to use materials made from recycled content. Such materials are both pleasing to the eye and the environment. • Embrace adaptability when designing a new home. Rarely do homeowners design their homes with renovations in mind. When building a dream home, homeowners do not consider the likelihood

that they will one day move out or even outgrow the home. Estimates vary considerably with regard to how long the average homeowner stays in his home, with some suggesting as little as seven years. While data collected from the United States Census Bureau within the last decade suggests that roughly half of all homeowners had lived in their homes for at least 10 years. Homeowners building new homes should expect to one day move, and ensuring their new homes are easily adaptable is both financially sound and eco-friendly. When a home is built with adaptability in mind, prospective buyers won't have to make costly overhauls. In addition, homes built to facilitate future renovations won't produce the same amount of waste as homes that are less easily adapted. Many homeowners embrace home improvement projects as opportunities to turn their homes into private sanctuaries. But those who do so with the environment in mind can significantly reduce waste and still end up living in luxury. — Metro

he home improvement industry has grown considerably over the last several decades, as homeowners increasingly took steps to turn their homes into personal oases. But such projects often produce substantial amounts of waste, negatively impacting the environment as a result. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, an estimated 170 million tons of building construction, renovation and demolition-derived wastes were generated in 2003, a year when the housing market was thriving and homeowners were not shying away from costly home improvement projects. With the housing market once again on the rebound, the home improvement industry figures to benefit once again. There are steps eco-conscious homeowners can take to reduce waste while improving their homes. • Save salvageable materials. Some materials simply must be discarded when making improvements to a home. But many more materials can be salvaged. When making renovations to a home,

How to repair and replace window screens W
High Desert Home Shows | Thursday, April 3, 2014
indow screens can let fresh air into a home while preventing insects and outdoor critters from making their way inside. But screens are far less effective at keeping critters out of a home when they're damaged. Addressing such damage is typically an easy do-it-yourself project, one that begins with gathering the right materials, including: • new screening, either synthetic or aluminum • a rubber spline • a screen rolling tool • a razor knife or sharp scissor • measuring tape • masking tape • a screwdriver or an awl
to determine how much replacement screening you will need. Remember to leave extra room in your measurements so you have slack to make the new screen fit taut. The measurement will also help you determine how much spline you will need. 2. Remove the screen from the window frame. Some windows do not have removable screen frames, and you will have to work on the screen in its upright position. 3. Use the screwdriver or awl to pry the edge of the existing spline that holds the screening material in the frame. Pull out the old spline and remove the damaged screening. 4. Measure the new screening from a replacement roll. Lay the screening Once those materials have been gath- down on the frame, ensuring there is ered, the process of replacing or repair- overhang on all sides.

your hands. This also works if you must replace screening vertically and cannot remove the window frame and make repairs on a flat surface. 5. Take a new piece of rubber spline and push it into the edge of the screen frame, securing a corner of the new screening to the frame. Continue to press the spline around the perimeter of the screen frame firmly into the groove with the screen rolling tool, which looks like a small pizza cutter. This effectively secures the screen into the frame. 6. Continue around the edge of the frame, pulling the new screening taut as you go. This helps to keep it free of wrinkles. 7. Once you have inserted the spline all the way around, cut it off from the spline spool and push in the edge. 8. Use a razor knife or sharp scissor
to cut off the excess screening, being careful not to dislodge it from behind the spline when cutting. 9. Replace the screen in the window. In the case of small tears in a screen, a complete replacement may not be necessary. Home improvement stores sell screen patch kits. Some work by cutting out a piece of patch that is attached to an adhesive backing and sticking it over the hole. Other patches are small, woven wires that can be threaded through the hole in the screen. A really small hole can be mended with a drop of clear-drying glue. The same method of screen replacement can be used to replace screens on screened-in porches, aluminum doors or sliding patio doors. Just be sure to purchase replacement screening that will fit the dimensions. — Metro

H
ousehold hazardous waste (HHW) is defined as “any hazardous waste generated incidental to owning or maintaining a place of residence.” The definition excludes any waste generated in the course of operating a business concern at a residence. HHW improperly discarded from homes may threaten human health or the environment. Many people are unaware of how many common household items are considered hazardous. Medications, paint, motor oil, antifreeze, auto batteries, lawn care products, pest control products, drain cleaners, pool care products such as chlorine and acids, and household cleaners are HHW. (Some cleaners may be harmful separately or when combined. Ammonia and bleach, for example, emit extremely toxic vapors). San Bernardino County offers numerous options for residents to dispose of HHW. Collection facilities will accept household-generated wastes as listed above. Electronic waste collection is available throughout the county. For locations, call 1-800-OILYCAT. Collection facilities will not accept business wastes, wastes from non-profit organizations, radioactive materials, explosives, medical waste or asbestos. To dispose of these items, call 909-382-5401 or 1-800-OILYCAT. Residents must have proof of residency to dispose of the items at a San Bernardino County facility. Sharps (needles and syringes) may be disposed of by calling 1-800-OILYCAT for locations or by mail. Ask for the Sharps Brochure. Certain rules must be followed when bringing HHW to a disposal site.

Earning Your Degree in the High Desert
University of La Verne has been offering higher education studies locally for more than four decades
W High Desert Home Shows | Thursday, April 3, 2014
hether you are considering making a change to a better job or taking the next step in a career, having a college degree is a vital advantage in an increasingly competitive workforce. For more than 40 years, the University of La Verne has offered college-level coursework to residents of the high desert. Today, individuals can complete a bachelor’s or master’s degree or earn an educational credential, while staying close to home by attending classes at La Verne’s High Desert Regional Campus. Since its founding in 1891, the university has provided exceptional educational opportunities while consistently exceeding student expectations. An adult education pioneer in Southern California, La Verne understands the challenges involved in balancing work, home and studies. Evening classes as well as online and weekend programs are offered at the High Desert campus, all specifically designed to fit a busy lifestyle.
Located at 15447 Anacapa Road, Ste. 100, the full-service Victorville campus is conveniently located adjacent to Interstate 15 off the Palmdale Road exit. “It is the mission of the University of La Verne to provide opportunities for students to achieve their educational goals and become contributing citizens to the global community,” said Regional Campus Director Juli Roberts. “As a resident of the High Desert, I am proud and appreciative that the university takes this statement to heart and is committed to provide a quality education benefiting members of my community.” For those seeking a career in business, La Verne’s MBA Program is rated by the Los Angeles Business Journal as L.A. County’s third largest for a non-profit institution.

La Verne has been preparing education professionals for more than 75 years. The university’s alumni serve as superintendents, principals, school counselors, and teachers throughout California. Also, approximately 30 percent of all school superintendents in the state who have a doctorate earned their Ed.D. from La Verne. For those seeking a career in education, La Verne has graduate degree programs in Educational Counseling and Educational Leadership; credential programs, including Multiple and Single Subject, Preliminary Administrative Service, and Pupil Personnel Services. There are also undergraduate programs in Child Development and Liberal Studies offered at the High Desert Campus. Generous aid is available to adults pursuing undergraduate degrees in business or elementary education. The university is the school of choice for many students seeking to continue their education. This is reflected in the increasing national recognition La Verne is receiving, with its academic excellence, promotion of a values-based education, and continuing growth capturing the attention of those who chart the country’s leading institutions. This year’s U.S. News & World Report’s America’s Best Colleges issue places La Verne in the top tier of its National Universities category. It ranks 8th among California private colleges and universities included in the National Universities classification, and is 4th among Los Angeles
area private institutions behind Cal Tech, USC and Pepperdine. In addition, La Verne’s online undergraduate programs are ranked 13th nationally and No. 1 in California by U.S. News in its annual national rating of Online Education, which evaluates online programs based on academic and career support services, graduation rates and debt levels of graduates. It is also listed in Forbes Magazine’s latest America’s Top Colleges ranking, which recognizes the top 20 percent of the nation’s undergraduate universities, and Washington Monthly’s National Universities rating of the country’s leading schools based upon contributions to the public good. These and other accolades clearly reflect La Verne’s legacy of providing a quality education, coupled with a commitment to continuously improve all aspects of the entire La Verne Experience, from admission to graduation. And the university’s rise in established rankings highlights the distinction and value of a La Verne education as reflected in the great satisfaction our graduates display. By earning your degree at the High Desert campus in Victorville, you can join the more than 60,000 proud alumni around the world who have the La Verne Advantage.

service level for our customers. Customers seeking immediate assistance with pipe processing no longer have to look outside the High Desert, searching for a facility and waiting several days for an order. Once an order is faxed in, the men will process that order. Customers can pick up the order, usually the same day. While many large orders may be for contractors or builders, the average homeowner can benefit from this service, too. Spring is approaching, and that means it’s time to keep any vegetation well watered to withstand desert heat. G. A. Osborne Pipe & Supply is the exclusive High Desert distributor of Hydro-Rain, who manufactures Blu-Lock, a glueless irrigation pipe and fitting product that is state of the art for irrigation.

ith the beginning of this new year, our tank manufacturing facility has seen a steady increase in production. Standard products such as our 1,200, 1,600, 2,800, 5,000, 7,500, 10,000 and 13,300 gallon tanks are filling the needs of new consumers daily, whether it is for irrigation purposes, increasing domestic water supply, fire protection or an emergency water supply. Along with our standard products, we also do special order-size tanks and fabrication. To compliment our line of steel water tanks, we also make high density polyethylene tanks in sizes ranging from 25 gallons to 10,000 gallons. Need a booster pump or fire hose, special quick disconnect and fire hydrant fittings and adapters? We have it. Call or come on by. We would love to show you our facility. Our goal is to once again fill a need the High Desert and surrounding area has been thirsting for. With the economic times we now find ourselves in, more and more individuals are trying to find ways to save money. Many people think our store focuses solely on large projects or the industrial business-to-business markets. Nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, we do large projects; yes, we supply industrial and commercials needs — but at the heart of this business is our attention to the individual needs of those people who just want to do it themselves. They receive the same customer service and individual attention we like to give all our clients. We feel there’s not another business here in the High Desert that carries as diverse an inventory of products as here at G. A. Osborne Pipe & Supply. Our pipe processing facility has been extremely busy this past year. The 18” Marvel saw, the centerpiece of this facility, has proven to be more than equal to the task. Our increased pipe cutting and threading capabilities, along with the roll-grooving service we provide, has greatly enhanced our productivity and

eed ideas for your desert landscaping? Would you like to talk to an expert on how to save more water? Visit the Water Awareness Expo during the Home & Garden Show. The Alliance for Water Awareness and Conservation (AWAC) offers this educational opportunity for High Desert residents every year. This group of experts is made up of our local cities and water agencies to promote the conservation of water. With the current state of water in California, residents are encouraged to do their part and help save our precious resource. High Desert residents have a great track record
of conservation. Since the year 2000, the region has decreased its water consumption by 30 percent per person — from 250 gallons per day to 164 gallons per day. One of the ways this success has been achieved is through the Cash for Grass program. Since 2008, more than 6 million square feet of turf have been removed, thanks to some 3,000 participants. The program offers a rebate of $0.50 per square foot for removing living turf and replacing it with drought-friendly landscaping. At the Water Awareness Expo, visitors will learn new and innovative ways to save water. Ap-
plications will be available for our Cash for Grass program, and AWAC members will be on hand to answer questions. A beautiful demonstration display will showcase native plants, irrigation products and techniques for greater water efficiency. The Expo will also feature the coloring contest and sculpture winning entries. Throughout the weekend, visitors will have opportunities twice an hour to win plants and other water-saving products. Don’t miss this great opportunity to take advantage of new programs and products to help combat the drought. — Mojave Water Agency

Prioritize safety when power washing
P
High Desert Home Shows | Thursday, April 3, 2014
atios, decks and outdoor entertaining areas often need some TLC. Homeowners looking forward to enjoying the warm air again often start their annual chore of readying such areas for the entertaining season in the spring, and cleaning outdoor furniture and entertaining areas is a big part of that process. Very often individuals turn to pressure washing machines to clean such areas; while pressure and power washers are effective, they also can be dangerous if homeowners don't prioritize safety when operating these machines. Pressure washing machines come in many varieties, and not all are created equal. Smaller, electric-powered systems may be effective for cars and boats but ineffective at cleaning grime on a house or driveway. Pressure washers also may have hot or cold water supplies. Hot water can help cleaning detergents emulsify dirt faster and more effectively than cold water. The cleaning capacity of these machines is measured in cleaning units — or the water pressure multiplied by the flow rate. The higher the cleaning units, the greater the cleaning power of the device. But more powerful tools also carry a greater safety risk, highlighting the importance users must place on safety when operating such machines. The following are a few safety tips homeowners Metro Creative

Pressure washers have various levels of power. Some may be effective for washing cars, while stronger settings are often most effective at cleaning home siding. can employ to ensure their next power washing project goes off without a hitch. • Clear away furniture and any obstacles from the area where you will be cleaning. You want the area to be free of tripping hazards or items that can be damaged by the spray. • Keep children and pets away from the area while the cleaning is taking place. Pressure washers are powerful, and highly pressurized water spray can cause injuries. Slips and falls on wet surfaces may occur, and high-pressure injection can happen when water and chemicals penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage. • Eye and ear protection should be worn at all times when working with a pressure washer. • Many pressure washers work better when used in conjunction with some type of cleaning solution. A combination of bleach and water will help loosen dirt and will require less pressure from the washer. • As you grow accustomed to the power of the washer, it is best to adjust the nozzle to a wide angle fan and the lowest pressure setting to see how effectively it cleans a given surface. Increase pressure accordingly as the project progresses. Making the water stream too narrow could cause damage. It takes time to learn the subtleties of the machine, so users should allow themselves ample time to grow comfortable with
the machine. • Keep the pressure wand 10 to 12 inches away from the surface that needs cleaning. Make small passes and check the cleaned area, adjusting the pressure and stream accordingly. • Begin in the farthest corner of a deck, driveway or patio and the highest spot of a home. Use slow, even sweeps with the pressure wand, being careful to maintain an equal distance from the tip to the work surface. This helps to ensure even cleaning and reduces the chances of streaks and overlapping of the pressure spray. • When working on a home, avoid spraying the water at a steep angle under siding or directly into corners. Do not spray under the edges of window or doors. Use caution around dryer and attic vents as well. You may end up soaking the inside of the home or cause water damage unwittingly. • Always use caution when operating a pressure washer while on a ladder. The power of the device can easily compromise your balance. If ever you feel uncomfortable using the pressure washer, stop and consider hiring a professional. It is much better to make that investment rather than damage your home or risk injury. — Metro
Know your tools Before novice do-it-yourselfers begin working with power tools, they should familiarize themselves with their owners’ manuals and the operating instructions. Some home-improvement retailers offer classes in various home renovation projects and may be able to teach tool usage. Do-it-yourselfers should consult professionals with regard to proper tool use and safety. Do not use tools for purposes other than what the tool was intended to do. If machine guards are provided, they should be used and never removed.
Wear safety gear Eye, ear and breathing protection are key in any workshop environment. Dust and chemical gases may be present when working with certain products, and debris can be kicked up and enter the eyes, causing irritation or even blindness. Loud power tools can damage sensitive ears, especially when used in a contained room. Always wear goggles, sound-muffling earphones and dust masks when working.
Assess physical well-being Do-it-yourselfers should never work with machinery if they are feeling sick or fatigued or while taking medication that can affect concentration or alertness. All it takes is a moment of distraction to cause an injury. Never surprise anyone who is working with power tools and keep unnecessary people out of the workshop, where they might chat and distract others from the tasks at hand.
Factor in ergonomics Failure to work in comfortable conditions can result in repetition injuries or muscle strain. Make the workshop as comfortable as possible. Ensure the work table is at the
right height. Use a rubber mat on the floor to reduce standing fatigue. Have a stool or chair available for taking breaks.
Keep a clean shop Power cords strewn around the workshop present a tripping hazard. They also make it possible to drag sharp or heavy tools off of tables and workbenches if the cords are pulled or tripped over. A neat workshop is a safer workshop. Pay attention to where tools are kept and keep cords manageable.
Dress appropriately Loose clothing and hair can become tangled or lodged in equipment. Do not wear jewelry. Dress comfortably but appropri-
Lock it up
Children and pets are curious and may wander into a workshop to explore. They can become seriously ill or injured by the bevy of chemicals and tools used for common projects. Some items are flammable and sharp and should always be out of reach. Locking cabinets and drawers can keep tools inaccessible. Also warn youngsters against entering the workshop unattended. As more people engage in do-it-yourself projects, homeowners should reacquaint themselves with safety procedures. — Metro

ompleting home improvement projects on your own can be both rewarding and financially responsible. A growing number of homeowners are dabbling in do-it-yourself projects, recognizing both the personal and financial rewards of such undertakings. As more and more homeowners perform their own renovations and other improvement projects, many are outfitting their homes with state-of-the-art workshops and transforming garages into a do-it-yourselfer’s paradise. Safety is vital in any workshop. During a typical home renovation, homeowners will use all sorts of dangerous tools and chemicals, and even the simplest mishap can result in a serious injury. Following safety rules can reduce the ately for the workshop, being sure to wear sturdy shoes. risk of injury.

determination, and a little luck from time to time. “I started this company almost right out of school. I had this little truck and a dream. I now see almost my whole family involved in the business. My sons work very hard. My wife has become the backbone of AC Plus. Without her, we would be nowhere near the company we are today,” Ron says. So, yes, AC Plus is a family business. Their slogan is, “There’s no fuss when you call The Plus.” More importantly, AC Plus is a people business. “I get it, I really do,” Ron says. “People who call us out are not in love with us. They didn’t have on their wish list a shiny heater or air conditioner, and they are a little apprehensive. No one wants the expense of an unexpected repair or replacement. We as a company are always training our people to be sensitive to all of this when we make a call in your home. We want it to be the best experience it can be.” Ron says being in business is about making money,
but on his list, making money is No. 2 or 3. At the top of his list at No. 1 is Customer Satisfaction. “So if you ask me how did all of this happen, how did we become one of the larger AC and heat businesses in the High Desert, I would have to say it’s customer satisfaction,” Ron says. “I would love the chance to be your AC and Heat guy.” Don’t forget, if you just need a part, AC Plus now has a parts showroom. If you would like to talk shop, find out what the best deals are or just buy a filter, drop by.

Solatube is an ideal way to reduce energy consumption in a home or commercial structure by eliminating or reducing the need for electric lights during daylight hours. Solatube’s dome is made of high-impact polycarbonate that transmits 99 percent of available light, even ambient light on cloudy days. As important as gathering light is directing it down the super-reflective tube. The Solatube system loses less light than conventional skylights, so it more efficient. Harrie said while there are knock-offs of the company’s original design available, these units lack Solatube’s patented light-tracer reflector which causes Solatube to capture 70 percent more light during the winter months when the sun is low in the south. High Desert Chimney Sweep also carries Solatube Smart LED, a 24-hour home lighting solution that delivers up to 94 percent in light energy savings. It combines advanced LED technology with state of the art daylighting for unparalleled energy efficiency. Harrie said the units are especially effective in bathrooms, hallways, kitchens, utility rooms, and dark living rooms. High Desert Chimney Sweep has installed more than 11,000 Solatube units in the Victor Valley. Approximately 5,000 units installed on tile roofs. They have never had a leak on a tile roof installation in all that time. The manufacturer guarantees the brightness and efficiency of Solatube. As the Solatube authorized dealer for the High Desert, Harrie can assist you in design, location, and complete the installation of your Solatube. The business also offers the Solar Star solar-powered attic fan. This device — billed as “The solar-powered attic fan that pays for itself” — helps keep your home operating at maximum efficiency, year-round. The company’s websites, www.hddaylighting.com
and www.hdchimneysweep.com, can give you more information. Debbie Harrie said late spring and early summer are a great time to get your chimney system cleaned so when you go to light your first fire later in the year, you don’t have to be concerned about its condition.

igh Desert Chimney Sweep, owned and operated by Tom and Debbie Harrie of Apple Valley, is the Victor Valley’s only sweeping service with more than 30 years’ experience, that is certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America, a state-licensed contractor with general liability insurance. The company offers cleaning, repair, and maintenance of fireplaces, chimneys, wood-burning stoves and dryer vents. Did you know a dirty clothes dryer vent is a fire hazard and can waste your energy dollars? High Desert Chimney Sweep can eliminate the buildup of lint and additional debris in your dryer vent so your dryer will exhaust at optimum efficiency. Annual dryer exhaust vent inspections are more necessary today because newer homes tend to have dryers located away from an outside wall. These new locations mean that dryers tend to be vented longer distances and are harder to access. Creating more places where lint can collect and animals and birds can hide. High Desert Chimney Sweep also provides a remarkably efficient and affordable tubular skylight called Solatube. A Solatube is very efficient in transmitting sunlight with its mirror surfaces. A 10-inch Solatube easily brightens up to 200 square feet of living area. The 14inch diameter unit will brighten up to 300 square feet. Because the tubular unit is sealed, its airtight design ensures virtually no heat loss or gain occurs between the interior and exterior environments. The Energy Star rating confirms that the Solatube product is designed for optimum energy efficiency. Solatube features a patented daylight-capturing dome lens that redirects low-angle sunlight and rejects overpowering summer midday sun. This translates to consistent lighting throughout the day.

Recognizing termite damage H

ome ownership can be an unending series of adventures, especially for those homeowners who love good home improvement projects. Some projects are fun and improve the value of a home instantly, while others are undertaken to address a potentially serious issue. Discovering that termites are taking up residence where you live can be disconcerting, but termites are a very common occurrence. Understanding termites and recognizing the signs of termite damage early on can help homeowners reduce the havoc that such critters can wreak on their homes. Termites are social insects that live together in colonies. These colonies eat nonstop, dining on wood and other cellulose plant matter. They also eat materials made from plants, like fabric and paper. According to the National Pest Management Association, termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage a year. Studies show that queen termites can live up to decades under ideal climate conditions while workers and soldiers live approximately one to two years. While there are many varieties of termites, all are silent destroyers capable of chewing undetected through housing structures. To eradicate termites, homeowners must first identify the insects and then contact a termite management specialist to address the pest problem.

Even if termites are no longer present in these tubes, that does not mean the termites have moved on. They simply may have chosen a new path to your home.
Keeping termites away
Once termites have been identified, it is time to eliminate them. This means getting rid of water and food sources that are close to a home. • Repair leaky faucets and other water drips in and around the house. • Keep gutters and downspouts clean. • Seal entry points around water and utility lines or pipes. • Divert water away from the foundation. • Keep lumber, firewood or paper away from the foundation of the home. • Clear away stumps and tree debris. Spotting termites • Prevent untreated wood from contacting the soil. Termites may not always be visible.

emonade is often associated with refreshment and hot summer days. When the mercury on the thermometer has reached record heights, few beverages are as refreshing as a cold glass of lemonade. This summer figures to have its share of hot afternoons. But while the higher temperatures might be typical this time of year, your choice for refreshment can be anything but — even if you insist on sticking with lemonade. The following recipe for “Apple Lemonade” from Elsa Petersen-Schepelern’s “Cool Smoothies: Juices and Cocktails” (Ryland, Peters & Small) offers a unique take on a summer favorite.
