Fall HOME & GARDEN

Signs of septic system malfunction PRO PELLET Homeowners recognize that their work is never done.

Homes require maintenance that runs the gamut from daily tasks like cleaning kitchen countertops to more significant undertakings like replacing roofs. For many homeowners, keeping their homes running smoothly involves tending to septic systems.

Estimates from various sources indicate that roughly one in five homes in the United

States has a septic system.

Homeowners who live in areas with regional sewage systems may not give much thought to the operation and maintenance of their wastewater and disposal system.

But that responsibility typically rests squarely on the shoulders of homeowners whose homes have septic systems.

Learning to maintain septic systems so they operate safely and efficiently is essential. Homeowners should

know that recognizing signs of septic system malfunction is vital to avoiding potentially costly, messy accidents that can put the health of humans and local wildlife in jeopardy.

What happens when a septic system malfunctions?

The Washington State Department of Health notes that a malfunctioning septic system is a threat to the health of both humans and animals as well as the environment. When a septic system is malfunctioning, untreated sewage can be released and end up in places where it shouldn’t be, such as groundwater, surface water and marine water. That’s true even if it’s not visible to the naked eye. Humans and animals are in danger when septic systems malfunction because untreated sewage contains pathogens and other contaminants that can make them sick.

What are the signs of a malfunctioning septic system?

The DOH of Washington State notes that properly maintained septic systems should provide reliable service for many years. Part of that maintenance is keeping an eye out for these signs

that suggest a system is malfunctioning or failing: • Water and sewage from toilets, drains and sinks is backing up into the home • Bathtubs, showers, and sinks drain very slowly • Gurgling sounds are coming from the plumbing system • Standing water or damp spots near the septic tank or drain field • Bad odors around the septic tank or drain field • Bright green, spongy lush grass over the septic tank or drain field, even during dry weather • Algal blooms in nearby ponds or lakes • High levels of nitrates or coliform bacteria in water wells Homeowners with septic systems should make tending to those systems part of their routine home maintenance.

IONIA COUNTY SHOPPER’S GUIDE: FALL HOME & GARDEN - SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2021

As fall gradually gives way to winter, gardeners expend ample energy preparing their flowers and plants for the months ahead.

Plants may be pruned to increase the likelihood that they will return in full bloom come the spring, while lawns may be aerated so cool-season grasses can get the nutrients, water and oxygen they need when the temperatures dip. But what about houseplants?

Do indoor houseplants need the same type of pre-winter TLC that outdoor plants need before winter arrives?

As the seasons change, so, too, do the conditions outside. And those conditions affect indoor houseplants much like they do

lawns, gardens and trees. So it’s vital that people with houseplants do not overlook the need to keep houseplants going strong as fall gives way to winter.

Location Hours of daylight shorten in winter, which means some houseplants won’t get as much sun as they were accustomed to over the last several months.

That means plants may need to be relocated closer to windows where they can make the most of each day’s sunlight. However, it’s important that there’s ample distance between the plant and the window, especially when winter temperatures get especially cold. If the plants are too close

Must-have features in your bathroom remodel Veteran homeowners recognize the value of remodeling their kitchens and bathrooms.

Kitchens and baths tend to appear dated more quickly than other spaces, such as living rooms and bedrooms, which can always be revamped with some fresh paint and new furnishings.

The home improvement pricing resource Home Guide indicates an average bathroom remodel costs anywhere from $5,500 to $15,000 depending on the size and scope of the renovation. However, a bath redo can increase a home’s resale value and can return as much as 68 percent of homeowners’ investments. As homeowners plan their bathroom renovations, it’s a good time to consider improvements that will improve function and add design appeal for years to come.

• Floating vanity: Add an airy feeling to the room by creating space between the vanity and the floor. A floating vanity can be a counter with a vessel sink or even have cabinets, as long as the vanity doesn’t extend to the floor.

• Freestanding traditional sink or tub: There’s something elegant about a freestanding tub or pedestal sink. Such features can lend a classic vibe to a space.

However, freestanding fixtures also come in modern or eclectic forms, so there are options for any design style.

• Frameless showers: Switch to a walk-in shower option, which improves aesthetics and makes

it easier to “age in place” in a home. Pair that frameless shower with clear glass shower doors so sightline in the space remains unencumbered.

• Natural textures: Create a calm and serene sanctuary in the bathroom with light, natural hues and materials. Nature-inspired colors on tiles, walls and vanities can add to the spa vibe.

• Dual sinks and vanities: With a double vanity, two people can share the space and easily use the bathroom without getting in each other’s way. One vanity with two sinks works, but homeowners can create even more personal space by dividing vanities and mirrors.

• Small textured tile on shower floors: Small textures are appealing and add safety. The added texture and grouting will keep feet from slipping on wet floors.

Also, opt for mold-resistant grout to make cleanup even easier.

• Special shower heads: Invest in shower heads that can run the gamut from creating steam showers to rainfall effects. Some showers will have multiple shower

jets to offer an invigorating experience.

• Improve drainage: Increase the diameter of the drain pipe in the bathroom from the standard to a two-inch drain pipe. This will reduce the risk of clogs and overflow leaks.

• Install a window: Natural light and air flow can reduce the risk for mold and mildew growth, and windows add some aesthetic appeal to a space.

Just be sure to choose frosted privacy glass.

Additional considerations for a bath remodel include heated floors, well-placed and attractive storage options and a toilet enclosure (water closet) for added privacy. These and other bathroom renovation ideas can add value and improve the appeal of the room.

Reduce Your Energy Bills This Fall With These Tips (Statepoint) The updates you make in fall can prepare your home for the long winter months ahead, helping you stay more comfortable all season while reducing your energy bills and other expenditures. Here are some home improvements to consider, as well as tips and insights for making the most of these upgrades: • Select insulated siding: Did you know that most wall insulation is placed only between the studs?

Since wall studs represent up to 25% of the wall surface of an average home, that’s like having one side of your home with no insulation at all! Check out siding that provides continuous insulation, such as CedarMAX insulated vinyl siding from ProVia, which is not only one of the most energy-efficient exterior claddings on the market, but offers enhanced curb appeal and durability.

• Improve windows and sliding glass doors: New windows can make a substantial impact on your overall energy efficiency, if you select wisely. To identify the most energy-efficient windows for your home, refer to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA)

Each September, the Northern Hemisphere experiences the autumnal equinox, which marks the official beginning of fall. In the Southern Hemisphere, spring is arriving at this time.

Each year there are two equinoxes, the vernal and the autumnal (March and September, respectively). Shortly after the autumnal equinox, days begin getting shorter and the nights get longer. The autumnal equinox always occurs between September 21 and September 24.

In 2021, the autumnal equinox takes place on September 22.

The word equinox is from the Latin “aequi,” meaning “equal,” and “nox” or “night.” That means that during each equinox the hours of day and night are nearly equal in length across the planet. During the equinox, the part of the Earth that is closest to the sun is the equator, explains History.com. That helps make night and day equal in length.

According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the Autumnal Equinox on September 22, 2021, arrives at 3:21 p.m. EDT, 2:21 p.m. CDT, 1:21 p.m.

MDT, and 12:21 p.m. PDT.

Warm and wow guests with homemade hot mulled apple cider When hosting friends and family at home, it’s understandable that hosts direct so much of their focus to the foods they plan to serve. The main course is often the focal point and most memorable aspect of a dinner party, and that’s true whether the get-together is a backyard barbecue, a holiday meal with the family or a formal affair with colleagues.

Food might be a focal point, but guests also will need something to drink. Traditional spirits like wine and cocktails are the standard, but hosts who want to get a little creative should not hesitate to do so. When choosing a special beverage, timing is everything. Guests wil want to cool down on warm summer evenings, so something cold and refreshing can make for the perfect signature cocktail. When hosting on nights when the mercury has dropped, a warm beverage can heat up guests in a matter of minutes. On such nights, hosts can serve this version of “Hot Mulled (Sherried) Apple Cider” courtesy of Laurey Masterton’s “The Fresh Honey Cookbook” (Storey). One added benefit to Masterton’s recipe is it can produce a welcoming autumn aroma, helping hosts establish a warm ambiance for the festivities.

1. Combine the cider, orange slices, cloves, cinnamon, and honey in a large pot over medium heat. If you are picky about things floating in your cider, make a little bundle out of cheesecloth and place the cinnamon and cloves inside before adding to the cider. I like to chew on cloves, so I just toss everything in. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer over low heat for an hour or so to spread these lovely autumn aromas around your home.

may get their claws stuck in certain woven fabrics.

• Leather and faux leather: Many pet owners like that leather and faux leather products are nonabsorbent and resistant to stains, odors and punctures. In addition, fur won’t cling to leather and similar fabrics easily, making them a better choice for those with dander and fur allergies.

• Microfiber: Microfiber is tightly woven, making it a good option for durable, high-end elegance.

Dirt and dust cannot penetrate the fabric, and cats are less likely to get their claws into this fabric.

Some microfibers are odor- and stain-resistant as well, though spills

Maintaining a pet-friendly household requires contending with a certain measure of dirt, dander and fur. It’s often a sacrifice made for the immeasurable benefits that come from having companion animals. Even when their owners are especially careful, pets can do some damage around the house.

Homeowners can mitigate potential problems by choosing largely pet-proof furniture fabrics.

• Woven fabrics: Fabrics that have visual texture or subtle patterns can help disguise stains and make pet hair less noticeable. Opt for a color similar to a pet’s fur color to further camouflage shed hair.

Pet owners should know that cats

will need to be mopped up quickly.

One concern with microfiber is the material tends to hold onto pet fur.

As a result, owners may spend ample time vacuuming shed hair.

• Synthetic materials: Polyester, acrylic or nylon materials can stand up to wear and tear longer than others, so they may be appealing if pets will be allowed on the furniture.

Durable fabrics also can be wiped clean with a cloth.

Farmhouse style homes are having a moment. A 2020 survey from Homes.com asked more than 5,000 adults across the United States about their favorite house style from a list that included bohemian craftsman, mid-century modern ranch, French chateau, and Tudor, among others. Modern farmhouse was the runaway winner, as participants in 42 of the 50 states indicated this simple, cozy style was their favorite.

Home renovation projects can help homeowners put

their own unique stamp on their homes, and such projects can be both aesthetic and functional in nature. The following are some farmhouse design elements homeowners can consider as they look to transform their home interiors with this popular style in mind.

• Exposed beams: Exposed beams instantly evoke images of a farmhouse. The home improvement experts at BobVila.com note that this rustic renovation project can utilize real wood or faux beams that look like the real

Design ideas to give your home a farmhouse feel thing. Decorative beams that have nothing to do with a home’s structural integrity can be installed by skilled doit-yourselfers. However, even faux beams are heavy, and BobVila.com recommends homeowners have an engineer assess their existing structure prior to installation.

• Distressed wood finishes: Distressing is designed to make something look less than perfect. Distressed wood finishes can be found throughout many farmhouse style homes. Furniture and picture

frames can provide the distressed look farmhouse fans are looking for. This is a relatively inexpensive project that many homeowners can tackle on their own after watching some online tutorials that recommend the right tools and techniques to get the job done right.

• Kitchen sink: Many components combine to create a truly classic farmhouse kitchen.

But perhaps no component is more essential than the classic farmhouse sink. The renovation experts at HGTV note that a classic farmhouse sink features a deep, wide basin. Farmhouse sinks are large enough to handle all the dishes

that come after a big family meal. Old-fashioned porcelain sinks are worth consideration by homeowners who want their kitchen sinks to evoke a traditional farmhouse feel.

• Countertops: HGTV recommends butcher block countertops for homeowners who favor European farmhouse style. Homeowners overhauling their kitchens to create a

farmhouse feel should consider installing a large island with a walnut butcher block countertop for an authentic farmhouse feel.

Farmhouse style homes are wildly popular. Some simple renovations can help homeowners with a fondness for farmhouse style bring this classic look into their homes.

Is Your HVAC System Ready for Cool Weather?

(StatePoint) As you enjoy mild autumn weather, take time to ensure your home is equipped to handle the chilly months ahead. Following these steps will mean a more comfortable, energy-efficient winter: • Clean your air filters monthly. Dirty filters make HVAC equipment work harder and cause more wear and tear on your system. They also increase your energy bill and reduce indoor air quality.

• Compare the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency of your heating system with newer models. If it’s below 13, you may want to consider a new, more efficient system. Remember, the higher the rating, the less wasted energy for a reduced carbon footprint. Be sure to choose equipment bearing the ENERGY STAR logo. High-efficiency systems reduce your impact on the environment and can also save you money. You may also be eligible for a Federal Tax Credit if you select a qualifying model.

• Use a humidifier during colder months. It not only adds moisture to your home, it can actually make it feel warmer.

In turn, you’ll be more apt to lower your thermostat, saving money and consuming less energy.

• Check and maintain your insulation. Improperly insulated walls, floors, attics, basements and crawlspaces drain away heat and can also lead to moisture imbalance.

Adding weather stripping and caulk around windows and doors can also go a long way to improving your home’s insulation.

• Turn down your thermostat.

Keeping your thermostat five degrees cooler can lower your heating bills without affecting your home’s comfort. Install a

programmable thermostat to regulate temperatures.

• Clean the furnace area.

Don’t keep chemicals or cleaning products near your heater, and don’t store anything next to it that could impede ventilation. Keep vents and returns free of obstructions. Don’t lay carpet over vents, place furniture over or in front of them, or obstruct the flow of air.

• Have a technician give your HVAC system a pre-season tune-up so that everything is running efficiently before temperatures plummet. Even the most efficient system can suffer if it’s not properly maintained. Just be sure your HVAC equipment is installed and serviced by a North American Technician Excellence (NATE)-certified

HVAC technician, as they have demonstrated their knowledge of today’s increasingly sophisticated heating and cooling systems by passing a nationally recognized test developed and supported by all segments of the industry.

Working with a NATE-certified technician translates to a longer life for your HVAC equipment, increased energy efficiency and fewer callbacks and warranty returns. To find a NATE-certified contractor in your area and for more HVAC tips and insights, visit https:// www.natex.org.

With a few simple considerations in fall, you can reduce your home energy bill and improve your home’s comfort all winter.

HORROCKS GARDEN CENTER FALL GARDEN GUIDE As fall approaches us here in West Michigan, there are a few jobs that you can do now to keep your gardens nice and tidy through the winter months and hopefully make spring a little less hectic. First, grab your garden journal and take a walk around your garden making notes of your favorite performers and adding them to a list of seeds or plants to purchase for next year. Also, note the under-performers or plants that just didn't meet your expectations.

Plan to harvest your own seeds from your garden. This is an exciting and rewarding task, and you'll be grateful that you did when it comes to next year's garden. Make some notes in your garden journal about the weather and how it impacted your garden this year. Also, jot down what pests were a problem for you this year and when they popped up. Make a list of the spring flower bulbs you'd like to plant this fall and stop by Horrocks Garden Center to purchase, as they go fast.

Consider what new perennials, shrubs or trees you'd like to add to your landscape.

Early fall is an excellent time

for planting.

As your summer garden begins to die back, consider ways to add color and draw beneficial insects to your fall garden by planting asters, mums, pansies and anemones. Update your summer containers for fall by removing the spent summer annuals and replacing them with coral bells, mums, ornamental cabbage, purple millet, pansies and variegated ivy. Add some cornstalks and small pumpkins for an extra pop of fun.

Assess your yard and garden for anything that needs repair or change. Does a fence need repair? Would

you like to start a compost area? Would you like to build raised beds, climbing structures or add fencing to your vegetable garden?

Write down any materials that you might need for these projects.

Fall mulching is very beneficial for Zones 4-5 for several reasons. Mulch stomps out those fall weeds and helps retain moisture during bouts of drier weather. Mulching insulates bulbs and perennial root systems for the upcoming cold weather and prevents soil erosion from heavy rains, winds, and storms. Mulching roses will protect their bud union. Also, protect boxwoods and other evergreens from deer and harsh winter wind damage by spraying with wilt stop and wrapping with burlap.

Late summer watering is vital to help new perennials and trees establish their root systems and stay adequately hydrated going into the winter months. Annuals on the other hand, are slowing down and cooler temperatures mean they don't need as much water as they did during the peak of summer.

Stop fertilizing trees and

shrubs if you haven't done so already. Cooler weather is approaching and new growth established from fertilization can cause those limbs to be susceptible to damage. Do allow some seed heads to remain on plants for birds

to feed on and for seed collection.

Fall is also a great time to divide perennial plants like hostas, daylilies, black-eyed susans, shasta daisies, etc.

How to winterize a vacant home A vast migration takes place when the temperatures begin to drop in the northernmost areas of the United States and even parts of Canada. No, it has nothing to do with feathered friends finding new roosts or certain mammals getting ready to hibernate. This migration involves the thousands upon thousands of people who retreat from one residence to head to another.

Snowbirds, as these migratory people are often called, are primarily retirees who split their living arrangements based on weather. Many spend the spring and summer months in one residence, generally in the northern portion of the country. Once the mercury begins to drop there, they trade that home for another in a more temperate locale, such as Florida, Louisiana, Texas, or even overseas. The Palm Beach Post reports that about 145,000 snowbirds flock to Palm Beach County alone each winter, raising the population by around 11 percent, according to the county’s official figures.

Across Florida, an estimated 900,000 to one million seasonal residents stay a month or more every winter.

When snowbirds or other people leave their homes for extended periods of time, it is essential that they winterize properties that will sit vacant for months.

Protect against home damage • Consider turning off the water supply completely if you will be away for an extended period of time; otherwise, a burst pipe may result in significant damage.

• Drain all water in pipes by opening the faucets and flushing the toilets to clear the water

Many components combine to define a home’s interior.

create a stunning accent wall, while homes with open concepts often utilize color to define rooms. Homeowners who want to revitalize their home interiors can do so with paint, and this approach doesn’t require homeowners to commit to a whole new design style.

Though paint may seem simple to novices, homeowners who have painted home interiors in the past recognize how complicated the process of picking paint can be. Paint retailers have a seemingly endless swatch of paint colors to choose from, and before long homeowners heads may be spinning as they try to narrow down their options.

The following tips can help homeowners pick the perfect paint for their home interiors.

• Take stock, and photographs, of your current furnishings. Many interior designers rely on a simple technique when recommending color schemes to their clients.

Choose a standout color from existing furnishings, such as the dominant color from a patterned decorative pillow or piece of furniture, and then

look for the same shade to paint the walls. A photograph of the item can be handy when visiting the paint store.

• Lighten colors as you go up. The home renovation and design experts at HGTV recommend picking darker color values for the floor, medium color values for the walls and light values for the ceiling. This approach mimics the look of the great outdoors, where the ground tends to be darker than the trees, and the trees are darker than the blue sky.

• Utilize paint to create the vibe you want. The home renovation experts at This Old House note that colors evoke an emotional response.

Cool colors like blue and green give off a relaxing vibe, which makes them ideal for bedrooms and bathrooms.

Red is an intense color that

can up the energy ante in any room, which can make it an option for homeowners who want to spark debate around their dinner tables.

• Give personal preference its place at the table. Though interior designers may have years of experience picking paint colors for a home and researchers may have determined how certain colors can be utilized to create a desired ambiance in a given room, ultimately homeowners are the ones who will be living in the home. So it’s important that homeowners pick colors they like for their home interiors.

Paint is an inexpensive way to transform a room. Homeowners can rely on a combination of color strategies and their personal preferences as they try to decide which colors they want on their interior walls.
