Inspired by the boma Nomadic tribes in Africa raise livestock amid the most ferocious predatory mammals in the world.

Keeping their families goats and cattle safe, particularly at night, is not easy. Long ago, the kraal was devised by cutting wickedly sharp thorny brush to stack into a dense, round enclosure for protecting both human and animal overnight. During colonial times, the word “boma” was applied to these uniquely circular enclosures made of local materials throughout Africa.

One desert dweller was so inspired by the boma that they built an American version on their remote getaway. This circular fence was created by using grid wire and a lot of very long straight branches, often tree-pruning waste, dried stiff and straight before lashing.

Often huge quantities of such branches are the result of pollard pruning styles that require yearly cutting of the new growth to harvest uniformly-sized branches. For some, this much material can be the result of having trees trimmed or removed at your house or around the neighborhood. Often they will be a treasure trove that offers enough material to make something really fun this summer.

For example, whole home orchards or commercial ones are pruned in winter to yield a huge volume of material often free for the asking. Don’t delay, go out and select the best of it for your project, then lay each branch out on a level

By Maureen Gilmer, Tribune News Service (TNS)

This beautiful African fence was made of riverbed reeds carefully assembled into a privacy enclosure that maintains air movement. (Handout/TNS) surface or concrete slab to dry out and season without twisting.

Another resource is the clearing of drainage ditches of willow scrub, which eventually compromises its capacity. Removing willows in the channel yields an excellent source of flexible whips for woven wattle binding during the growing season.

When you work with living willows, they will root where contacting the soil to give your fence a much longer life span or much greater screening ability. They can be woven through pickets, used for lashing, bundled into overhead arbor gates and dozens of other ways that have been requisite skills since ancient times.

Where palms are common and other wood sources are minimal, other types of fences have emerged using the fronds themselves and the stems of the palm flower stalk as pickets. To turn a transparent fence solid, weave the fronds into openings to create a thatch wind or privacy screen. Try this method with rolled field fencing, which can be attached to an existing chain link to create a solid barrier. Because palms resist decomposition, these are great choices for humid or dry climates.

Perhaps the most ancient skill of the gardener is the ability to recycle or repurpose necessary pruning waste into something more produc-

tive than chipping for mulch. You may find great free materials around the neighborhood when set out on the curb for green recycling.

All over the world people have used these kinds of fencing with almost exclusively recycled materials from wild and cultivated woody plants. But where wood is not plentiful, another method is to use Arundo donax, a global reed common on almost every part of the globe. This material is also used in Africa for a fancier kind of boma fence you find at upscale camps and villages.

Rather than buy new materials for a garden fence, a kids play area or dog yard, consider using what’s local, available and cheap or free for the asking. Sure, it takes time to make such a lovely semitransparent partition to create more enclosed areas, outdoor living spaces and for freestanding privacy screens.

Travelers to developing countries quickly realize almost everything is made of mud or plant materials.

It’s very organic and affordable for the poorest American renter to the high-end modern texture panels.

Above all, they blend with the local aesthetic no matter where you go ,demonstrating how folks created fences before the rise of home improvement stores.

Lawn and Garden

Tomato Taste Off a Way to Sample Love Apples My neighbors might be catching on that living near a gardener is a good thing.

Sure, there are a few quirks to put up with, like earsplitting shrieks when CAROL O’MEARA squirrel CSU Extension damage is noticed on pumpkins or alarming noises as I rise up from crouching to weed. But these small eccentricities fade once harvest sets in, because they know I’ll start sharing the bounty with those who wander by.

As they stroll past with their pets, I call them into the garden with friendly invitations like “you, with the Shih-Tzu, want some beans?” or “Hey, parrot-walking man! I’ve got plenty of kale to share!” Most have gotten produce from me before and accept it with smiles, even though they know I’ll toss in a zucchini for good measure.

Right now the beans are coming in like there’s no tomorrow, but fast on their heels is a bumper crop of tomatoes. And once they start, everyone in the neighborhood gets love apples.

Big, little, red, yellow, purple, and orange – we’re entering tomato season with its wealth of rainbow colors. Cherry tomatoes like Green Doctors, Isis, Sungold, and Jasper may be little in size but big in flavor.

Each of these tasty morsels is sweet enough to woo new devotees to growing them. Matt’s Wild Cherry, a currant type, is a tiny, prolific tomato about the size of a pea.

Salad tomatoes that shake your kitchen up with new flavors and colors are Green Zebra, Lemon Boy, or Japanese Black trifele. Each has bold enough flavor to stand on their own, but combined in a colorful Caprese salad, they shine.

I’m experimenting with paste tomatoes this year, because I sauce a lot of them and an Italian-American August 13-14, 2016

friend told me, proudly, that for real Italian sauces, you need San Marzano tomatoes. But I love the flavor of Amish Paste and you can’t beat Roma for performance.

Although I’m a tomato geek and love them big and small, I will admit that when the beefsteaks come in, it’s my favorite part of the summer. Huge, brightly colored, and heavy with the promise of outstanding taste, the beefsteaks are the late season love apples that finish summer with a bang.

Of the big ones, it’s hard to beat Brandywine, but Pineapple, Amana Orange, Black Krim, Cherokee Purple, and Paul Robeson give it a run for the money. Sweet and balanced with acid, Pineapple is a large yellow tomato streaked with red.

Gardeners, if you’ve wondered what those tempting tomatoes taste like, but don’t have room to grow them all, head out to the Taste of Tomato in Boulder. Sponsored by Harlequin’s Gardens and Colorado State University Extension in Boulder County, the Taste of Tomato is an opportunity to sample the love apple in its many forms - stripes, color, shape, and size.

Scheduled for Saturday, August 27, 10 am to 1 p.m. at Gateway Park 4800 N. 28th St. in Boulder, the Taste of Tomato is where gardeners can bring their tomatoes for others to try and sample the products others are growing. Each year, tomato enthusiasts gather to

taste nearly 100 varieties and vote on the tastiest of the lot.

Entry is free if you bring three

or more medium to large tomatoes or 10 cherry tomatoes of one kind, with the variety name on a card, to donate to the tasting. All entries must be home-grown. If you have no tomatoes to bring, there will be a $5 entrance fee.

5 Home Repairs You Should Leave to the Pros While you may fancy yourself a “handyman” and have deftly mastered your fair share of DIY projects, there are

By Suzanne Plewes several home CRS, ABR, CDPE, GRI improvement Broker Associate at tasks you RE/MAX Alliance might want to call in a professional to handle. Here are 5 home repairs you should leave to the pros:

Roof Repairs There are several reasons why you should call in a roof expert.

Safety should be your first priority.

Depending on the height of your home and the pitch of the roof, it may be too dangerous for you to tackle a project of this magnitude.

Even if you have the appropriate size ladders and equipment, the risk of securing them properly, scaling and descending, and maneuvering atop

the roof may prove to be too precarious. In addition to being unsafe, you probably don’t want to gamble patching or flashing something incorrectly, leaving you with leaks and further repairs that will inevitably cost you more money in the end.

It’s best to hire a professional for all roof repairs.

Cleaning Out Gutters Again, safety comes first. Just like roof repairs, gutters are not located in the most accessible places and can pose a risk of falling. Trying to maintain balance on the ladder while removing all of the debris at the same time is a recipe for potential disaster. Better leave this job to someone who has been there and done that. Plus, gutter removal costs are usually quite.

Electrical Work When it comes to electrical repairs or projects, you’re not only facing dangerous safety issues but also potential concerns regarding code violations and licensing problems.

Lack of experience can result in electrocution or faulty wiring that

could lead to fire hazards. In addition to that, your handiwork may not be up to code – which will affect your resale value. By Colorado law, homeowners are not permitted to complete electrical work on their own if the property is for rent or for sale (or is open to the public).

Save yourself the risk of injury and protect yourself from any violations or resale problems by hiring a pro.

Plumbing Work Colorado law requires a permit be obtained at the local building department before performing any plumbing work. Homeowners may do the work themselves if the property is not for sale or for rent (and not open to the public). Everything must be up to code and inspected by the building department. Unless you are completely familiar with local plumbing code and have the tools and skillset to perform plumbing work, it is best left to licensed plumbers.

Structural Work Don’t go it alone with this type of work – as the last thing you want to

do is risk the structural integrity of your home! Plans to open up space by removing walls or restructuring rooms need careful consideration from a contractor or structural engineer. Many factors come into play with supporting beams, foundations, and reinforcement framework regarding the ability to withstand weight-bearing load and resist collapse. These are not things you want to haphazardly play around with or leave to guesswork.

So as you can see, there are many reasons why certain DIY home improvements are best left to the experts. By hiring a professional, you will not only protect yourself from danger and your property from potential damage, but you may also avoid incurring any unnecessary expenses in the long run. Be safe, be smart, and be satisfied with your repairs!

Transferring property after parents’ death usually determined by last will and testament

By Ilyce Glink and Samuel J. Tamkin, Tribune Content Agency

Q

: Both of my parents have died. My dad died in 2006 and my mom passed away a couple of months ago. Their home is paid off, but it’s listed in both of their names at the property tax office. What can I do to transfer the property in my name?

A

: Our condolences on your loss.

Without more information, we can only assume that you believe that you are entitled to the title to your parents’ home, but that assumption may be incorrect. The first question we have to ask is how they owned the home.

Most married couples own a home jointly with rights of survivorship. That means that when one spouse dies, the other spouse

AT HOME

automatically becomes the owner of the home. Now if your parents owned the home jointly with rights of survivorship and in their own names, your mom would have become the sole owner of the home when your father died. Some people own real estate in the name of living trusts for estate planning purposes or to avoid probate courts having to approve the sale of the home to the person’s heirs.

It gets a bit more complicated to answer your question at this point.

If your mother had a will at the time of her death, the home should pass on to the person designated in her will. If you are entitled to the home under the will, then you might have to take the will to court to have the will probated. The probate court would first approve the executor of the will. Once the executor of the will is approved, the executor could

move to have the court approve the transfer of the title to you from your mother.

When there is no will you might have to do a bit more, particularly if you have relatives and siblings.

Assuming you have brothers and sisters, they may be entitled to a share of the home, too. You might all share and share alike when it comes to the home.

When a person dies without a will, the laws of the state in which the person died and where real estate is located may kick in to provide a method for distributing the property owned by the decedent.

For example, if you have two brothers and one sister, each of you may inherit a one-quarter interest in the home. You may feel that your mother wanted you to have the home, but without a will you would have to share the home with

Reporter-Herald – AtHomeColorado.com

your siblings. On the other hand, if you are the only child, you may be entitled to the home especially if no other relatives have a claim to the home and there are no creditors that have liens against the home.

As we usually say, if you have specific questions pertaining to your particular circumstances, you may want to talk to a real estate attorney or probate attorney about your case.

Home Fix

How to repair vinyl siding

By C. Dwight Barnett, Tribune News Service (TNS)

A

Q

: Our home was built in the 1920s and is showing its age.

Painting the home every 10 years is out of the question so we decided to have the vinyl siding installed. After the workers left, the home looked

brand-new. But after a few months I noticed the siding was coming loose.

I called the contractor and found out the phone number is no longer in service. Can you advise me on what to do now?

: The original wood siding on your home is most likely poplar wood, which has dried over the years and has a tendency to split if a siding nail hit it in the wrong place.

Fortunately, each piece of loose vinyl siding can be removed without having to remove the entire wall. If the loose piece is in the middle of a wall, you do not have to start at the top and remove all the siding. A contractor can use a special inexpensive tool to undo the locking lip at the bottom of each panel to expose the loose areas. Where the wood siding is split, the vinyl can be reinstalled using special fasteners, or the split wood can be repaired and the vinyl siding’s fasteners can be relocated away from where the original wood is damaged.

Vinyl siding is very easy to install once all the outside or inside corners, window trim and soffits have been installed. Even if the entire wall is loose and has to be removed it can be repaired in less than an

eight-hour day with a crew of two experienced workers. If you have a two-story home it may take a little longer, but the original vinyl can, in most cases, be reused and you would have to pay for labor only. If you can’t locate the original contractor, at least give the company name or the contractor’s name to the local Better Business Bureau to protect other unsuspecting homeowners from experiencing poor workmanship.

Now that you’ve decided where you want to settle down and separated your musts from your wants, the next step is actually purchasing the home, which is unsurprisingly not as simple as swiping your credit card (unless you’ve got a cool $100K lying around). Surveys show that prospective millennial homeowners aren’t treating the decision flippantly and are instead thinking more critically about their first home purchase, with 35 percent of potential homeowners intending their first home to also be their last, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Assuming you’ve selected your dream home, gathered all the necessary paperwork and checked your credit score, the final step to make your nesting dreams come true is choosing a mortgage plan, which 8

comes with a lot acronyms and financial savvy we admittedly can use a helpful hand with. So we rung up Erin Lantz, VP and GM of mortgages for Trulia, who gave us a crash course explaining all the ins and outs of what the slightly tedious but necessary process entails. Ready to dive in? Your dream home awaits.

STEP 1: GET PRE-APPROVED To start the mortgage process, you want to get pre-approved. For that, you’ll have to substantiate the funds you’ll be using to pay for the monthly mortgage, which can include your monthly income pay stubs and any other liquid assets you may have, including savings accounts and retirement accounts if you’re eligible.

The lender will then use all your amalgamated assets to calculate your debt-to-income ratio, which will help them assess your ability to pay back your loan.

Term to know: debt-to-income ratio. Your goal here is to reach a favorable DTI, which is calculated by dividing your existing debt (think credit card bills, student loans and monthly payments like car insurance), including your desired monthly mortgage payment, by your total gross income.

You want a low debt-to-income ratio, with lenders favoring 28 percent to 33 percent.

The best way to have a manageable DTI is to answer: What house size (and mortgage) can I comfortably afford? Since the DTI calculates not just your mortgage but all your other monthly payments, Lantz says the most important thing is “to think about your mortgage within the context of your overall budget. Consider your lifestyle choices, like traveling, rearing kids or any health expenses.”

While you can marginally increase or decrease your monthly payments based on how much cash you put down, she says you should first figure out what your monthly spend should be. “That way the down payment will become a much smaller portion of the decision.”

STEP 2: PICK BETWEEN A FIXED OR ADJUSTABLE INTEREST RATE Your second goal is to achieve a low interest rate, which goes back to how much you want to spend monthly. You can pick between a fixed rate or one that can be adjusted over time.

Typically a fixed rate, though stable, will have a higher interest rate than the initial rate offered with an adjustable loan. However, keep in mind that an adjustable loan is subject to change over time, potentially resulting in a higher interest rate overall.

Term to know: jumbo loan. Based

Reporter-Herald – AtHomeColorado.com

on your state and county, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac have decided what the loan limits should be (find your county’s specific loan limits here).

Anything below the limits is called a “conforming” loan. Once surpassing that limit, you’ve now entered into a “jumbo loan,” which grants the lender more flexibility to structure the loan program to offer more varied jumbo products. “In order to qualify for a jumbo mortgage, you’ll still need to be able to afford a higher loan amount and a higher down payment because it’s a bigger loan,” says Lantz. “But the interest rate should be comparable. It used to be the case that the interest rate is a lot higher with a jumbo loan, but that difference has pretty much disappeared.”

STEP 3: CHOOSE BETWEEN A GOVERNMENT-INSURED OR CONVENTIONAL LOAN There are three types of government-insured mortgages, which are for veterans, rural residents with modest income and the more widely applicable: FHA. Term to know: Federal Housing Administration loan. This loan is offered by the U.S. Department of Housing, and it’s an attractive loan, thanks to its very low-interest rates and lenient qualification requirements.

August 13-14, 2016

You only need a minimum credit score of 580 (the average is 750) to qualify, and a down payment could be as low as 3.5 percent of the home’s purchase price (the average is 20 percent).

For first-time home buyers, while the pre-qualifications are much more feasible, there’s a catch. With an FHA loan, you’ll have to pay an upfront mortgage insurance premium, in addition to a monthly mortgage insurance fee.

But an FHA isn’t your only option when searching for low–down payment loans. Lantz says, “There are increasingly more lenders that are offering loan programs that don’t require 20 percent, so don’t fret if you don’t have the 20 percent down.”

She suggests starting with Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo, who have all recently announced their own low down payment programs that are incredibly varied. “Shopping around is really important, especially in this scenario,” says Lantz.

“We see consumers often go with the first lender they spoke to, and a lot of the answers to these questions (Can I reduce my down payment? Can I lower my interest rate? Do I have to pay for mortgage insurance?) is: It depends. It really pays to shop around and find the lender that suits your needs,” says Lantz.

STEP 4: SHOP FOR THE BEST HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE Now that you’ve selected a mortgage plan, you’ll also need to factor in property taxes and homeowner’s insurance. While there isn’t anything you can do about your property taxes, you can (and should) shop around for the best deal on your homeowner’s insurance (not to be confused with your mortgage insurance from above).

Term to know: homeowners association. If you are joining a condominium, townhouse or gated community, there’s most likely a homeowners association fee you will be responsible for, which covers the building’s shared amenities and upkeep (think pool, gym or a doorman). There may also be fine-print requirements on how you need to maintain your home (such as window boxes) that could entail hidden costs.

Also keep in mind that most HOA fees do not cover the interior properties of individual units should any damage occur. You’ll still need to purchase separate homeowners insurance based on your specific needs.

STEP 5: MAKE AN OFFER After considering all the monthly August 13-14, 2016

fees and shopping around for the best lender for you, you can then work with a real estate agent to make an offer. Should the seller accept, you head into escrow, the period of time between settling on a purchase agreement and the day you get the keys.

There are a couple things that must happen before you close, such as your lender getting the home appraised.

This is to make sure that your home is truly valued at the price it’s being sold for. Next is a home inspection, which will fall on your shoulders. You’ll need to hire a professional inspector to do a noninvasive examination of the house. This is to make sure that there aren’t any serious issues to the home, such as faulty circuit breakers, structural cracks or water damage that may end up costing you more in renovations in addition to the purchasing price. Should the inspector find serious issues, you will be able to back out of the purchasing agreement and retrieve your deposit.

Term to know: escrow. Remember Joey’s meltdown in “Friends” when he couldn’t find Monica and Chandler’s “escrow” on the map? Escrow not only refers to the time it takes between the purchasing agreement and receiving the keys, it can also refer to a fiscal account in which a third party holds your down payment for the house. Once the house passes inspection, the third party will “close the escrow,” which will transfer the funds and any closing costs (such as real estate agent fees) to the seller and transfer the title of the house to you.

As a final tip, Lantz says while this is just the beginning of the road, you do want to think about the potential end: How long do you plan on living in this house? Lantz says the average homeowner lives in a home for five to six years, but most mortgage plans are on a 30-year fixed rate. Lantz says, “The chances of homeowners staying in a home for 30 years is really low, so that should help determine what kind of mortgage you want to go with.”

The great news? “Rates for 30-year fixed plans are very attractive right now.”

We’ll be waiting for a housewarming invitation.

This rugged Bluetooth speaker is ready for your pool party

By Jim Rossman, The Dallas Morning News (TNS) If you follow my reviews, you’ll remember I like the entire idea of Bluetooth speakers, which seem to be the equivalent of my old boombox from the 1980s.

In the old days, if you wanted to carry your music out to the backyard, you’d unplug your boombox and make sure all 12 of the D-size batteries were loaded up.

You either played a cassette or listened to the radio, although my later models did have a CD player.

Well, music has made a transition from cassettes, CDs and FM radio to smartphones, MP3s, Pandora and Spotify.

We have all the music sources we could ever want, and it all originates from our phones, which have tiny speakers.

For a while, it seemed speaker docks were the way to go. I had several for iPods and iPhones that had a 30-pin connector for your device, which had to stay in the dock to provide sound.

Advances in streaming technology meant we could send the music from our phones to a properly equipped Bluetooth speaker system.

Now getting the music outdoors is as easy as tossing a Bluetooth speaker in your beach bag.

I’ve tested and owned plenty of Bluetooth speakers, and I’ve been happy with most of them.

For the last few weeks I’ve been testing the Turcom AcoustoShock

The Turcom AcoustoShock Bluetooth speaker weighs just over 3.5 pounds and will fit easily into a beach bag. (Turcom Electronics) Wireless ($129.99), and it has the distinction of being one of the larger Bluetooth speakers I’ve used.

I’m not saying the AcoustoShock is too big — it measures 10-by-3.8by-4.7 inches and weighs just over 3.5 pounds. But it’s not going to disappear into your purse or gym bag. It’s pretty substantial.

The AcoustoShock is made for the outdoors — it has a rating of IPX5, which means it’s water-resistant against a direct spray or splashing of water. Just don’t dunk it completely.

Also, the charging ports on the side are protected by a small door,

Parking is limited, please check website for parking info. http://www.sculptureinthepark.org/

which must be secured to provide the water resistance.

The AcoustoShock is surrounded on each side by an inch-wide band of knobby rubber. It’s shockproof and dustproof as well.

I dropped it onto a carpeted floor from a height of 4 feet, and it suffered no damage.

The top has a row of inset buttons for playback and volume, while the side panel has the power button, an aux-in port, a charging port and a USB port so you can charge your phone from the AcoustoShock’s 8,000 amp-hour lithium-ion battery.

The AcoustoShock can charge a typical smartphone at least three times.

The battery will also keep the AcoustoShock playing for up to

seven hours.

It uses Bluetooth 4.0 and has a range of up to 33 feet.

If you receive a call while your phone is paired to the AcoustoShock, it will allow you to take the call, acting as a speakerphone. You press the play-pause button on top to answer or hang up a call and use the built-in microphone to speak.

When you’re done on the phone, the music continues automatically.

Finally, to make carrying it a bit easier, there’s a retractable handle on one end.

The AcoustoShock has two 2.75-inch-diameter drivers with a 3-by-2-inch subwoofer, and the sound is pretty good for a single speaker.

I took the AcoustoShock to a family reunion last weekend where I was in charge of the music.

I used it to stream music from a Bluetooth-enabled iPod, and it was loud and clear enough to provide background music for a very large meeting room.

My wife is a preschool music teacher, and she uses Bluetooth speakers every day in her class. The AcoustoShock would be a good choice for her, as she can keep it playing all day on a charge. And if it gets knocked off a shelf, no harm done.

I hope I’m not too late with this advice, because the children in these parts have been off from school for summer vacation since June.

Because the kids may be around the house a little longer than usual each day this time of year, there is increased opportunity for things to get messier.

The best, but more expensive, solution is to send them to sleepaway camp for several weeks.

If that option isn’t available, however, Derek Niederquell of 1-800 Water Damage — a national firm in property restoration specializing in water, fire, and carpet cleaning — offers some tips for keeping your rugs in good shape.

GUM Let’s start with chewing gum in a plush carpet.

Niederquell suggests applying a bag of ice directly over the affected area and allowing the gum to completely freeze. Once that has occurred, peel off the frozen substance using your hands or a dull butter knife.

DRINKS For Gatorade or soda, even red wine, Niederquell recommends blotting the stain using cold water and a August 13-14, 2016

clean white cloth.

Once that has been done, apply a generous amount of salt to draw out the stain’s moisture and let it stand for a few hours. Afterward, discard the salt and vacuum the carpet, he said.

MUD If it rains and the kids respond by making mud pies and then stepping in them, Niederquell suggests letting the mud dry, then vacuuming up as much of it as possible.
