Warm soil to jump start spring Has the unusually warm weather sparked the thought that spring has sprung in your mind? If you’ve CAROL O’MEARA been CSU Extension watching your spring bulbs shooting up and raring to go, you might be fooled into thinking we’re off to an early start.

NASA tends to agree: it released an analysis of data collected from their Global Precipitation Measurement satellite that shows spring-like rain and temperatures in the eastern United States spurring early bloom in plants. California awaits a massive “super bloom” of desert plants due to the deluge of rain they’ve been getting.

Here in the Rocky Mountains temperatures are bouncing from spring to winter to spring, often in the span of seven minutes. When someone counsels us to dress for the weather, it means tank tops under heavy parkas, hair bands that convert to face masks, and pants that convert to shorts with a quick pull of a zipper.

It’s no wonder our plants don’t know whether to break free and bloom or hunker down and wait a

while. If you’re itching to plant, a little patience is a good thing. While our days are warm, the soil is not, at least not according to the temperatures I took in several areas in early March. The ground is hovering just below 40-degress, which is a bit chilly for germination of most seeds.

If you must plant, one of the simplest ways to warm your soil is covering the ground with plastic sheets. Use 6 mil or thicker, UV resistant clear or black plastic and lay it over the soil, weighing down all edges with rocks or soil to prevent winds from whipping it up, up, and away to Kansas. Alternately, you can anchor it down with wire U-

shaped pins.

Check the soil after ten days to see if it’s warmer; for germination of cool season vegetables the minimum temperature needed is 40-degrees F. Typically, it takes two to three weeks for it to rise, depending on the soil type. Sandy or manufactured “planters mix” soils warm faster than wet, heavy clay.

If you’d like to speed the process, combine the plastic cover with an insulating layer. Using only clear plastic, lay a sheet on the ground, anchoring it as described above.

Then drape a second layer of clear plastic slightly above the first, using bricks or other objects to make a

small space between the two layers.

Anchor the second layer securely by tucking its edges under the bricks or by weighing them down on the ground.

To plant, fold back the plastic drape and remove the plastic sheet covering the soil, cleaning, drying, and folding it away for use another time. Plant seeds of lettuce, radish, kale, collards, cabbage, broccoli, spinach, peas, onion and carrots and then replace the plastic drape over the spacers, creating an impromptu cold frame, anchoring the cover securely so it remains to keep the seeds snugly warm in the bed. There is no need for a plastic sheet on the soil once seeds are planted.

Patience is required when starting seeds this way, as seed take longer to germinate at minimum soil temperatures than they would later in the spring. Leaving the plastic on until the temperatures have risen higher than 40 degrees won’t take much more time and you’ll be rewarded with better germination if you wait.

Monitor soil moisture and add water as needed.

Watch the weather and your plants closely; once the weather warms, the plastic tenting will trap heat and can reach temperatures hot enough to sizzle your plants. Open the cover on sunny days, partially folding back the cover and clipping the flap to prevent it from whipping in the breeze and tearing. Be sure to close the cover in the late afternoon to retain heat.

Lawn and Garden

Creating a lush garden on a modest budget low, and you’ll be seeing a difference in your soil use in no time.

MAXIMIZE SPACE When it comes to deciding what to plant, the options are endless, and you may be eager to start harvesting a bit of everything. Why not include more than one option in your container? Expand on the type of produce you plant, without having to stock up on multiple containers.

Our experts recommend “investing in a hardworking mixed container for veggies to maximize your space and harvest.” Grow a variety of produce even if your space and budget are limited.

Gardening on a tight budget is actually much less of a hurdle than you may think. There are ingenious ways to curtail any budgeting challenges that may be limiting your field of vision. (Dreamstime)

By Sabrina Paparella, Domaine (TNS) We dream of a day when every piece of produce we could ever desire is in our very own backyard. Getting there, however, takes time and one other key ingredient: money to invest in the items you need. Gardening on a tight budget is actually much less of a hurdle than you may think.

To help you create the harvest of your dreams, we enlisted the help of Burpee, a family-owned seed company that lent us a few secrets of the trade. Keep reading for five easy tricks experts always use to grow their harvest to its fullest, while keeping within their budget.

SAVE ON SOIL Large containers — which frequently need changing — eat up hefty quantities of soil. But some of the soil you’re emptying into containers is likely unnecessary for growing your harvest to its lushest. Soil, of course, is a component to gardening that every budget will have to account for, but you can save on the amount you use. The experts at Burpee gave us this ingenious tip: “To save on soil in a large container, fill the bottom of the container with empty water bottles to take up space, and make your container lighter.

Then, fill the top half of the pot with soil.” This simple trick is easy to fol-

GROW CREATIVELY Every great garden needs an abundance of planters, right? Think again! Our experts suggest “thinking outside the pot. Grow your plants anywhere, like in crates, buckets, bags, and other objects, to save money on purchasing additional items.” You don’t need to go to a gardening supply chain to pick up each and every item — get creative with where you grow! Not only is this cost-efficient, but it will also give your garden a look that is completely one-of-a-kind.

MAKE SMALL PURCHASES If you just started exploring the world of gardening, you may be overwhelmed by the seemingly endless amount of products to invest in. Don’t feel like you have to make

every purchase at once. In fact, the fewer trips to the store, the better — it’s much less tempting to grab miscellaneous items that way. Create a list of exactly what you need and buy in monthly hauls. Burpee says, “Spread out your gardening purchases. Start at the garden center and buy soil, then head back a month later and get pots, and a few weeks later purchase your seeds and plants.

There will be less sticker shock, and you will still have all the items you need.” Plan ahead with exactly what you’ll need, along with a frequency that works for your budget.

SHARE YOUR HARVEST Have friends and family who share the same passion for gardening? Burpee’s got a plan you should consider: “Let your garden help with gift giving! Share plants or your harvest with friends and family for a tasty and inexpensive way to gift.” This is also a great way to exchange harvests and try out plants to consider for your own garden.

Have an excess of tomatoes but need lemons? Make a trade with a friend!

Plant-swap parties are another fun way to proudly show off your green thumb while receiving new treats of your own.

Ask a Plumber

Asking about the faucet finish before starting the job

By Ed Del Grande, Tribune News Service (TNS)

Q

: Dear Ed, we plan to remodel our bathroom next year and I want the faucets to be a big part of the design. To start things off, can you please give me some “faucet finish” information?

— Mary, New Mexico When picking a faucet finish, remember to balance beauty along with durability.

(Kohler) March 11-12, 2017

A

: With all the beautiful faucet finishes available today, many bathrooms feature the faucet(s) as a

main point of attraction. But, a faucet is also a working plumbing fixture and you need to balance beauty along with durability. Keep in mind that if you make your faucet the center of design, you should choose a long-lasting finish that will look new for years to come. Look for a scratch and tarnish resistant finish that’s bonded to the faucet on a molecular level. Popular faucet finishes include: Polished chrome or brass, brushed nickel or stainless steel and oil-rubbed bronze for the vintage

look lovers. Finally, if you choose matching lighting trim, towel racks and shower heads to create a “suite” look, you’ll end up with a very sweet looking bathroom.

Give your home a spring break

Navy is one of Molly’s favorite neutrals because it looks great with just about every color you pair it with. For this inspiration bed at Nell Hill’s, Molly wanted a design that told its story in pattern and texture. (Handout/TNS)

By Mary Carol Garrity, Tribune News Service (TNS) The official start of spring is only days away. And if you are like me, you can’t wait. As you welcome this season of new life into your heart, do the same in your home. I asked Molly, one of our talented young designers, to share some simple, but powerful, ways to add a touch of spring to your decor. Here are five spots in your home she said are just waiting for a spring break.

YOUR DINING TABLE This spring, Molly’s color crushes are blue, green and white. Favorite spring accents? Flowers! “They add a finishing touch to a space,” she said. Our design team at Nell Hill’s brought all of Molly’s favorites together on this lovely spring table, decked out for Easter.

Once you have used linens and dishes to create a base for your seasonal table, you can easily trick it up for spring holidays. All it took to get this table ready for Easter was topping each place setting with an adorable egg cup holding a faux egg.

Can you see the spring chick salt and pepper set at the top of the photo above? I’m crazy about them!

YOUR MANTEL Blush pink is hot this year, Molly says. “It’s very romantic and adds a feminine aspect to your decor, without going overboard,” she points out. Our design team featured it in this fresh but simple mantel treatment at Nell Hill’s. The oversized abstract painting in the background gave us lots of pastels to draw from.

I like to decorate with glass accents year round, but in the spring and summer, glass is the perfect pick for a mantel that is light and bright.

YOUR BED Molly is a master at pattern play, pulling together a mix of textiles to create a work of art on a bed or piece of furniture. One of her favorite places to welcome spring is through bedding. When she creates a bed design, she often starts with a neutral base so you can easily change the look of the ensemble just by swapping out the pillows. This spring, it’s all about soft pastels and romantic touches. One of her favorite beds at Nell Hill’s has a gold trellis headboard, which sets the scene for the interesting mix of patterns, all in soft, subtle tones.

Navy is one of Molly’s favorite neutrals because it looks great with just about every color you pair it

Adding jewel tones and patterns help mimic natural elements to jazz up your indoor sofa. (Handout/TNS) with. For one inspiration bed at Nell Hill’s, Molly wanted a design that told its story in pattern and texture, keeping the color palette tight. For spring, store your duvet away and instead use a romantic bedspread, like this one that sweeps the floor.

For a bit of color, Molly rested a navy matelasse quilt at the foot of the bed. If floral isn’t your thing, try adding paisley to your bedding, like she did here.

“Pillows are a way to bring your personality in,” Molly shares. “A lot of people are afraid to mix styles, but even adding little touches like a Greek key tape is unexpected and makes your bedding less cookiecutter.”

YOUR FURNISHINGS “I think every room needs a little green,” Molly said. Jewel tones and patterns that mimic natural elements are showing strong, so Molly added this arresting malachite pillow to the trio jazzing up our blue striped Chesterfield sofa. This sofa is a classic style, but look how fresh and new it looks when upholstered in a bolder stripe and amped up with a mix of pillows that reinterpret classic patterns, like an oversized botanical.

“To me, the best spaces combine

Reporter-Herald – AtHomeColorado.com

One way to make your spring table pop is adding flowers as an accent. To get your guests in the holiday spirit you can add some Easter decorations, such as a bunny or faux eggs. (Handout/TNS) traditional elements with modern accents,” Molly shares. “Bringing in a few bold pillows is a fun way to add a touch of modern to a space. I like that it is unexpected and mixes things up, making you think outside the box.”

YOUR SIDE TABLES Imagine what a great day you’ll have if you start every morning by drinking in a cheerful spring display on your bedside table. To give your night stand a recharge, start by taking a long look at your bedside lamp. Is it time to update and refresh? I really like the clean lines of these contemporary lamps, which come in a variety of colors.

To create this sweet and simple scene, we used books as risers, a stage for an old fashioned clock.

A crystal decanter filled with cool water paired with a pretty drinking glass are ideal bed companions for the warmer months. The loose bouquet of sweetheart roses ties up the display with a sweet bow.

from eliminating homeownership tax deductions? This is something that every homeowner will want to pay attention to as additional details are released.

The President and House GOP leaders are both working on changes to tax laws.

The changes

By Suzanne Plewes currently CRS, ABR, CDPE, GRI discussed in Broker Associate at the House RE/MAX Alliance include a reduction in income tax rates but an elimination

of some very popular tax deductions to offset those losses. Among the targeted tax deductions are a few that specifically affect home owners.

Real Estate Property Tax Deduction Currently on the chopping block are tax deductions for real estate property taxes. This deduction allows homeowners to claim the amount paid for property taxes for the entire calendar year. Since assessed values and property tax rates vary by city/

There’s both good news and bad news when it comes to this homeowner tax deduction. The good news is that the deduction is unlikely to be entirely cut given the amount of support and huge impact it could have.

The bad news is, changes are expected to specifically target owners of high priced homes. There’s no news yet on what the benchmark would be on a high-priced home.

What This Means for Homeowners It’s too early to tell exactly how much these changes will impact the typical homeowner. Since tax rates would be decreased, could that offset the increase in tax liability

Even if the tax benefits of home ownership are reduced to some extent by changes to the tax law, there are still many other benefits to owning a home. With home prices on the rise, the opportunity to build equity is always a significant factor. Buying during an improving market can actually shorten the time it takes to build equity (compared to buying during a declining market).

Tips to get your house off the market

By Cathy Hobbs, Tribune News Service (TNS) Spring is traditionally one of the hottest seasons for the real estate industry. Both buyers and sellers typically reap the benefits associated with this vibrant time of year. For home sellers, the spring selling season is often also a competitive one in which it is critical for ones property to stand out. From the outside in,

there are a number of key tips that can help a seller secure equity and top dollar.

1. Make sure your home is properly priced. A licensed real estate professional will be able to help.

2. Create appealing curb appeal.

Many potential buyers will “judge a book by its cover” and perceive a home that shows poorly from the outside will show poorly on the

inside.

3. Complete all minor repairs. To potential buyers even minor tasks may signal concerns of “worry, work and money.”

4. Consider repainting your home.

Many homes need to be repainted every 5-10 years depending on weather conditions. A fresh coat of paint can significantly refresh a home’s appearance.

5. Have your home professionally cleaned. Your home should “shine like a new penny” to potentially buyers. Having your home professionally cleaned with help ensure it will sell.

6. Hire a professional home stager. In many parts of the country home staging is an integral part of the home selling process. A home stager stages and styles the property using “lifestyle selling techniques” to help potential buyers envision themselves in the home.

7. Consider renovating kitchens and bathrooms. Kitchens and bathrooms are still top of the list as far

as key selling features.

8. Depersonalize. From personal colors to unique finishes, creating a neutral environment typically appeals most to potential buyers.

9. Shop the competition. When your home is placed on the market for sale it is no longer your home, but a product on the market for sale that will be compared to other products. It may be helpful as a seller to view other homes you will be competing against for potential buyers.

10. Be realistic. Properties that are properly priced and show at their best tend to sell quicker.

Ask Angie’s List

Upgraded trimming can help increase resale value traditional, rather than modern, style. It also fits best in more formal rooms, such as living or dining rooms.

“Assuming the wainscoting materials cost around $300 or less, you’re probably looking at a full day’s install for two carpenters, or about $1,500 total,” Moore said.

These prices reflect paint-grade trim but not the painting, which happens after installation. Each project is different. For stained trim or custom styles, prices can increase dramatically.

By James Figgy, Angie’s List Angie’s List (TNS) Poorly installed or damaged trim cheapens an entire space, says Anna Moore of Platinum Remodeling & Handyman Services in Minneapolis.

Whether upgrading the trim enriches a home varies by the project.

If a home is well kept, its value will benefit, says Penny Smith of Penny Smith Appraisals in Newport Beach, Calif. Clean, sleek trim could improve a home’s value, but there’s no way to estimate a blanket percentage, she says.

Mike Kozenko, with Tyke Appraisals in Chicago, said it’s impossible to say if changing trim alone has a significant impact on a home’s value, but that upgrading will likely help a home sell more quickly.

Choose Trim Wisely Smith says the trim should match the home and neighborhood’s style.

“You’re not going to put the same

Consider What You Want First Many pros say to make trim improvements for yourself, not for your home’s next residents. (Photo by Frank Espich) kind of trim on a colonial as you are on a modern,” she said. “You’re an artist, and it’s about the pallet.”

Though each job varies, Moore says spicing up a standard

300-square-foot living room costs less than one might think. Here are a few cost-effective projects for a room of that size:

Crown molding

r s! ve O 00 tor 1 bi hi

Ex

Standard 3 1/4-inch crown molding starts around $1,000 and goes up from there. Crown molding makes any room look nicer, but it works especially well in a room with tall ceilings.

Bigger, better baseboards Tearing out builder-grade baseboards and installing 4 1/4-inch trim costs about $700 for a single room.

Homeowners usually want to replace this trim throughout the entire house to make it match.

Window and door casing Trimming a standard window or door with slightly larger casing costs about $150 to $200.

Homeowners enjoy these improvements, and they can make the home more salable. However, Kozenko warns not to do any project for the sake of resale value alone. More often than not, the amount spent eclipses the return on investment when a home sells.

“If you want to do it for yourself, go ahead,” Kozenko said. “But don’t do it for someone else, because they might not like it.”

Smith said improving a home too much will price it out of the market.

She advises homeowners not to go crazy with elaborate custom trim if they live in a home that falls in the middle of the price range for their area.

Smith disagrees that upgrading a home before selling is a waste. She said if the homeowner doesn’t do too much, such projects should help improve value.

“I think you only get one chance to make a first impression,” she said.

“You’ve got to catch someone’s eye, and you’ve got to make an emotional impression.”

Preparing Buyers and Sellers for 2017 Housing Market

Sarah Warnock, REMAX Alliance, REALTOR, GRI, CRMS In 2016, Denver and the Colorado Front Range was one of the hottest housing markets in the country. “The housing market in the Denver Metro area, as well as Colorado’s Front Range, was, and still is, plagued by low inventory and rising prices,” said RE/MAX Alliance Broker Associate, Sarah Warnock. “In fact, it is predicted that inventory will remain pretty low throughout much of 2017, which will continue to keep prices on the rise. There is a lot of new construction, but even that might not be enough to satisfy the demand in the area.”

Furthermore, interest rates have started to creep up a bit, so those considering buying a home but are on the fence might be better off jumping into the real estate market sooner rather than later while interest rates are still low. “The lower the interest rate, the more house you can afford,” added Warnock. “Additionally, spring is the beginning of the hot selling market and is fast approaching. Com-

petition is expected to be fierce, especially in the lower price ranges, so start looking now. As the grass starts to green up, the real estate market tends to ramp up.”

For those considering selling, Warnock believes 2017 is already shaping up to be a seller’s market, like in 2016, due in no small part to the low inventory. “Low inventory means top dollar for your house,” concluded Warnock.

“Although REALTORS can’t predict the future, and wish we had a crystal ball, there are a lot of indicators leading to a hot market up and down the Front Range in Colorado.”

Having a new roof installed

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

Q

: We are having a new roof installed and they said they would put on a vent at the top of the roof. The vent would be the full length of the roof and they said it was part of the price we are paying for the roof replacement. I was doing research and found your article about a ridge vent and it may not always be a good idea. Is this something I should bring to the attention of the roofing company?

A

: Yes, homeowners should always be informed about a company or a product before signing a contract for work to be done on their home. A ridge vent is an excellent form of attic ventilation when installed properly.

Most homes have an overhang for the roof called a soffit. When a ridge vent is installed, there must also be an equal area of venting at the soffits. If you do not have the correct amount of soffit vents, this could be an extra unplanned cost to correct.

The square feet of free venting at the soffits must be equal in area to that of the ridge vent. Free venting is the area of the vent that is not covered with screening or other obstructions to air flow. A piece of twelve-inch by twelve-inch vented soffit material, one square foot, only has around nine square inches of free venting.

Likewise, a foot long piece of ridge vent has about nine square inches of free venting. If the soffit

and ridge vents are not balanced, the attic could be hot in the summer and have higher humidity in the winter.

During high winds and rain, an unbalanced ridge vent has been known to draw moisture into the attic space. The soffit-to-ridge venting must be balanced and this means there should not be other roof vents, gable vents, cupolas or turbine vents open to the attic space.

Ask the roofer for the ridge vent manufacturer’s name and then look for product information on the manufacturer’s website.

While inspecting attics with what appears to be a balanced ventilation system, I have on occasion noticed the roof’s decking was not cut open to allow the ridge vent to function properly or the soffit vents were blocked by attic insulation. If you are not able to inspect the ridge vent opening or to calculate the ridge-to-soffit venting ratio, then it would be wise to hire an unbiased third party, such as a home inspector, to inspect the completed work and issue a written report for your records. When you are satisfied that the work is fully completed, you can then pay the final installment on the contract you have with the roofer.
