Man, has it been stressful lately. Here we are heading toward month seven of the

BY MARY pandemic LYNN BRUNY (with all the other related horrible happenings as well), but I think it’s the fires that have put people over the edge, mood wise.

It just feels like new disasters are constantly being heaped upon us.

What next? Swarms of locust?

We all need to do what we can to relieve stress. For my husband and me this means looking at real estate.

Yes, both of us are real estate junkies and have been for decades. We have a bad habit of buying places every four to seven years, fixing them up, then deciding to move for no apparent reason except we want change and a new project. We don’t cheat on each other; we cheat on our current home. My husband always instigates these moves, enthusiastically pitching me until I jump on the nutty train with him. The man can sell meat to a vegan.

Like many people with an addiction, we seek out friends with similar passions. One of our best friends, Judy, is even with us in number of moves. It feels perfectly normal to all of us that we do what we do, that we have packing boxes stored in the basement, that a fun Sunday is going to open houses, and that we all know exactly what properties are for sale in several zip codes.

I do freelance projects for a local real estate firm. Talk about geeking out over your work. I’m like a pig in mud, actually a pig in an outdoor studio with rustic charm. So my work, along with hours perusing properties on Zillow and attending open houses scratches my real estate itch.

But this is not the case for my husband.

He works like a dog (devotedly and consistently), while I work like a cat (occasional big bursts but mainly meander about with a semi-sassy attitude). He dreams of a beach property as a retirement escape from years of work travel and stress. To unwind, he watches HGTV shows about remodeling ugly properties, especially beach houses in various locations.

As a person who has redone many homes, these remodel programs annoy me to no end. In two weeks and for $13.47 they entirely renovate a place.

They just happen to find all these amazingly interesting decorating accessories at a local warehouse, along with having a slew of artisan friends who in a few days custom-make exquisite pieces.

“Well, it was a lot of hard work these past weeks, but the elbow grease really paid off. We were a bit upset as we went over our $13 budget, but we think the antique shiplap ceiling was worth the extra 47 cents.” Give me a break!

We are going into year seven of our current house (that we have remodeled and I love), and I can tell my husband is getting antsy. I walk unannounced into his office and he closes the screen on his computer. When a man does this, it usually means one thing. But I know it’s not the case here; I’ve seen this behavior before.

“Whatcha looking at there, honey?” I ask him. “Oh, nothing,” he sheepishly answers.

I give him “the look.” You know, that look we give our partners, the one with the raised eyebrows that says, “You best explain or there will be hell to pay.” So he opens the screen. It’s not a ratty looking beach house as I expected but a downtown loft. This surprises me. “Just hear me out on this one,” he says. The nutty train is at the station once again.

Lord, help me!

DESIGN RECIPES

How to maximize furniture placement in small spaces

By Cathy Hobbs Tribune News Service (TNS)

3. Paint ceilings a color other than the color white in small spaces. Any other color will make a small space feel smaller.

4. Forget to use mirrors.

Mirrors can really go a long way in helping open a small space.

5. Make small rooms nonfunctional. Consider turning a small room into a home office, nursery or small bedroom.

Whether a bedroom, living room or other space, regardless of the home’s size, some of the biggest furniture placement challenges often come from rooms that are oddly shaped or overly small. How do you properly place furniture? Here are some top tips for small spaces.

Do: 1. Consider placing the headboard against a window in bedrooms. This is typically not a first choice, but it may help keep a space open and spacious.

2. Use a light and bright color scheme. Smaller rooms tend to appear overly dark.

3. Use a minimal amount of furniture. These rooms can feel overstuffed when too much furniture is used.

4. Use furniture that is smaller

in scale. Furniture pieces that are oversized will tend to overwhelm a small space.

5. Use neutral wall colors. Dark colors will tend to close in a small space.

Don’t: 1. Use loud or busy patterns in small spaces. They will tend to overwhelm.

2. Forget the power of proper furniture placement. Planning is key.

REAL ESTATE

Preparing for the THREAT OF WILDFIRE

BY DUANE DUGGAN

Realtor and Author RE/MAX of Boulder

Living with the wildfire is something Colorado residents have dealt with for years. Since the 1950s we have been mindful of Smokey the Bear’s message of “Only YOU can prevent forest fires”. While it’s true that many fires are started by humans, lightning strikes are also a culprit.

Wildfire is fresh in our minds after breathing smoke for the past few weeks from all the wildfires burning in our state and in California. These wildfires are a huge wake-up call to be prepared, especially for those who live in the mountains and foothills where wildfire is an ongoing hazard. Larimer County has had its share of wildfire in recent years – and these recent fires are telling us to be prepared!

Wildfire tends to be a summer peril. Nevertheless, our winters have been no stranger to wildfire. When there’s no snow

on the ground and there are dry conditions, the wildfire danger can be just as high as it would be in now. While the forests and grasslands of Boulder County are very beautiful places to live, they are also the locations with the greatest menace of wildfire.

I experienced this firsthand this year when my family received word that the fire in Silverthorne threatened our property there. Since we live in Boulder, there was no way to drive to our property with the evacuation orders already in place. I considered the possessions I would snatch from our Silverthorne vacation home had I had time. I realized that the only item I would take with me that was irreplaceable, besides all the incredible memories,

was our dinner table. What’s so special about it? Our dinner table is made out of pine, and our many guests over the past 25 years have carved their name and something that describes them into the table. The true value of the table is probably 50 bucks.

The sentimental value: priceless.

Everyone needs to have a plan to bring with them what they value. You might only have a few minutes to make that decision.

As a Realtor I have unfortunately had several clients and friends who have lost their homes to wildfire.

My son, Timmy, had his home threatened by the Cold Spring Fire in Nederland. My own home backs up to open space, and that open space has been come under a barrage of fireworks several

Insurance Most of us have to admit that we haven’t completely read our hazard insurance policies.

However, if you live in a fire hazard area, it is even more important know exactly what to expect from your insurance coverage. You need to investigate what the insurance company will do towards the replacement of your home or other options. Just as important is what they will do to help while you’re rebuilding.

A written and photographic inventory of your personal property is critical to have. Be sure to save it off- site and also

back it up online.

An annual review with your insurance agent is a must! Some insurance companies will schedule a time to time to inspect your home and its surroundings.

Defensible space is one of the first things they will check.

Defensible Space

First of all, remove fuel (anything that can burn!) from near your house. Learn about the three fire zones Firewise says are around your house. The Immediate Zone is the first five feet from the foundation. In that zone, you don’t want anything flammable. The Intermediate Zone is next, which is the section 5 to 30 feet from the home. This area should have fire breaks like lawns and driveways. Tree canopies should not come within 10 feet of the house and the trees should be at least 18 feet apart. The Extended Zone is next. Trees from 30 to 60 feet out from the house should have spacing at least 12 apart. Spaces between trees should be greater if they are on a steep slope.

Install a Fire-Retardant Roof

Many of the older homes in the mountains west of Boulder were originally built with shake roofs. There should not be too many of those left now, but if you don’t have a fire-retardant roof, it should be a priority to get one installed as soon as possible.

Be Prepared to Leave

The odds are high that when the notice to evacuate your home comes, there won’t be much time.

Residents in high-risk areas should have a plan. That plan should include a list of which possessions to take on a priority basis. If you only have five minutes, you may only be able to take the items at the top of the list. Most people say that one of the things they would grab quickly are the family pictures. In our digital world, it is easy to upload sacred family pictures to the cloud. Even old family photographs can be scanned and uploaded.

Important documents might not survive. You may want to keep paper documents in a storage container that’s easy to

find quickly, or in a fire-proof safe – or even better, in an offsite safety deposit box. You can also store digital documents and important files on the cloud or on a secure online file hosting site like Dropbox.

In addition, any plan for a wildfire should include a Primary Escape Route and a Back-up Escape Route. If family members are at different locations at the time of the emergency, you should have an agreed upon meeting place.

The Real Estate Market and Fire

It’s important to be aware of the long-term implications on the real estate market when there is a fire. When smoke is in the air, it is difficult to for buyers to think of buying a home in the area.

Closings don’t happen because insurance quickly becomes unavailable. The real estate market comes to a rapid stop in an area directly affected by the fire.

An area with masses of trees can take years to look normal again and the market may take a long

LAWN AND GARDEN

More than decor: Houseplants can boost your mental health while COVID-19 has you stuck inside

By Lauren Leazenby, Chicago Tribune (TNS) Anthony Galvez has lost count of how many plants are in his Belmont-Cragin home, but estimates his indoor garden at anywhere from 80 to 100 plants. Galvez — who goes by anthony—planted on Instagram — said he was not really into plants until he started his collection during the COVID-19 pandemic. The nurse said it’s not just for looks; he likes having something to take care of.

“I probably don’t fit the description of a plant person but, (it’s about) the energy and mood it puts me in,” he said. #Plants has over 34 million posts on Instagram: photos of crawling ivies and philodendrons, massive monsteras and leafy parlor palms taking over houses and apartments like jungles. Like Galvez, many plant parents started or grew their collections during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Dr. Sally Augustin, an environmental and design psychologist, said having plants in your home can reduce stress levels and help you mentally refresh when you feel exhausted. “Green, leafy plants have curvy lines, which we find comforting to cope with stress,” said Augustin, principal at Design With Science, adding that the color green is linked to increased creative thinking.

“All this probably goes back to … the origin of our species when we saw green, leafy plants and that meant there was

something around that we could eat,” she said. “That gave us a psychological boost.”

These days, Augustin said, taking care of plants can give you a feeling of control over your physical environment, which has been shown to enhance cognitive performance. The act of caring for something and watching it grow is also beneficial: “If you’re caring for the plant, that gives you a feeling of accomplishment, which is desirable.”

Regan Azizi said plants are a form of meditation for her. Azizi, plantmomchicago on Instagram, said her plants help her take a breath. They keep her mind busy and help her focus on something other than what’s going on in the outside world. It’s also a project she can work on with her daughter. Since she got into plants about a year ago, she said they’ve now become an integral part of their day.

“One of the highlights is waking up in the morning and checking our plants to see which ones have new leaves and which ones have new growth,” Azizi

said. “You get to take a moment out of your day to actually focus on something else besides yourself.”

Anna Lauterbach, botanicbutterfly on Instagram, said plants gave her a “total distraction” from the pandemic.

Living in the city can be harsh, she said, so bringing green plants into her space made it feel more comfortable and peaceful. She moved from her Wicker Park apartment to her parents’ home in Michigan, taking her plants — and the sense of home they bring — with her.

In two years of collecting, Lauterbach said she has accumulated over 70 plants. She said she especially likes large plants, which take up a lot of space. “I’ll be living in a jungle if I get any more,” she said.

But too many plants can add clutter and stress, Augustin said. Plants that are particularly difficult to care for, like orchids, might also introduce frustration.

She said to opt for just a few lowmaintenance plants to experience the most positive mental health

effects.

“I’ve learned the lesson of how many plants you can actually own before it doesn’t work out in your favor,” Azizi said.

To find her balance, she scaled back from 75 to 50 plants by giving them away.

Azizi connects with other plant lovers on Instagram — an online community she said has grown during the pandemic as more people have started showing off their collections.

Galvez said he’s also part of the plant community. For him, the Chicago plant community has been especially supportive during these times.

“You have to be caring to take care of these plants, so most of the people who you talk to are just genuinely nice,” he said.

Galvez said plants also provide hope for the future because caring

for them now is caring for what they will grow into tomorrow.

“The more you put into them, the more they give back,” he said.

“If you take care of these plants, they’ll take care of you.”

COVERPROFILE

NORTHERN COLORADO AIR, INC. Improving the Air You Breathe

By Shelley Widhalm, At Home Northern Colorado The pandemic has brought Northern Coloradans indoors with more hours working remotely and limited social outings—and breathing stale air makes the experience less than pleasant.

“Not only are we sleeping at home, we’re working there all day breathing particulates in,” said Jeff Richard, general manager of Northern Colorado Air, Inc., a locally-owned and family-operated HVAC installation, service and repair company in Fort Collins in business since 1992. “There’s lots of contaminants in our air, stuff we don’t want to absorb into our lungs.”

Before COVID-19 struck, people already spent 70% of their time in their home, and now it’s even more. But viruses aren’t their only concern. Those with asthma, allergies, compromised lung function and other conditions do better in clean air—and even those without a condition can get the occasional headache from poor air 8

quality.

Without some kind of air filtering system in place, the air in a home, office or other building can contain those hard-to-see dust particulates, allergens (including pollen, mold spores and pet dander), and volatile organic compounds, VOCs. “If you look at the sunlight after you vacuumed and look at the air, there are millions of things flying around in the air, and we breathe that in,” Richard said.

Air Purification Solutions Northern Colorado Air offers a few solutions for cleaner, fresher air from the installation of air purification and filtration systems to the regular cleaning of a furnace. The company installs proven, name-brand air conditioning systems, furnaces and heating systems, as well as HVAC equipment and replacement parts, at homes and businesses along the Front Range, mainly in Fort Collins, Longmont, Loveland and Windsor. The systems run efficiently, reliably, quietly

and safely, while minimizing operational costs.

Lennox PureAir is one of Northern Colorado Air’s air purification systems, which is compatible with most HVAC systems without requiring additional energy costs. It is a three-part filtration system that uses ultraviolet light and a specialized filter to remove more than 99% of dust and allergens and more than 90% of bioaerosols that include airborne viruses, as well as any ozone emissions that could be in the air. It also destroys volatile organic compounds and odors from cooking, pets, solvents and cleaning products.

“All the air that goes into your furnace would be going through that filtration system,” Richard said.

LED In-duct Purifier Another air purification system is the Reme Halo, a LED in-duct air purifier that uses ultraviolet light to purify the areas of the home accessed by the central air-conditioning system. It uses bi-

“You’re going to live a healthier life, not breathing dirt into your lungs, plus your air will be more comfortable throughout the house,” polar ionization and a specialized technology to remove dust, allergens, airborne and surface bacteria and viruses, and odors from cooking, pets and other musty sources.

“It kills anything moving through it as long as the air moves properly through the duct system,” Richard said.

The Reme Halo works on the supply side of the air stream, while the Lennox works on the return side of the duct work.

“None of those units produce ozone,” Richard said. “Obviously, we breathe some in because we’re outside. We just don’t want mechanized ozone in your house.”

Richard gets asked if the installation of an air purification August 29, 2020

system means no more dusting— he has to tell customers they’ll still need to dust but not as much.

“You’re going to live a healthier life, not breathing dirt into your lungs, plus your air will be more comfortable throughout the house,” Richard said.

Northern Colorado Air offers a free indoor air-quality analysis using Air Advice to evaluate air quality in the home and to provide a detailed report of the level of particulates and allergens. A plan can be drafted using the report as a basis for recommending, installing and maintaining an air purification product. The company also offers free in-home replacement quotes on all of its other products and most of its services.

Furnace Inspections and Cleanings For the upcoming winter season, homeowners are advised to set up an annual inspection and cleaning service of their home furnaces. They can do some of the work themselves, such as regularly August 29, 2020

changing the filter, typically every quarter—but the frequency also depends on pets and cleanliness and your indoor environment.

Homeowners also can check their carbon monoxide detector to see if it’s less than five to seven years old. If it’s older than that, it’s best to replace it, since it loses calibration over time.

Richard advises watching for unusual smells or noises when turning on the furnace, and if there are questions, to call a HVAC company like Northern Colorado Air for an inspection.

Also make sure there is fresh air coming from the outdoors into the mechanical room to allow the furnace and water heater to breathe—if the fresh air gets plugged, that will put the house into a negative pressure, thus producing carbon monoxide and causing other problems.

Northern Colorado Air’s furnace cleaning service involves several steps on a checklist, including removing the blower, taking it apart and cleaning the

areas that collect dust, debris and lint.

“It’s good to do an annual cleaning, not just an inspection, … to make sure everything is in top working condition,” Richard said. “Our inspection is included with our cleaning as a value-added service.”

Adding a Humidifier Another way to improve air quality is to use a humidifier during the fall and winter months, something typically not needed in the summer when the air is warmer and moister. Humidity helps seal up the nasal passages, which when cracked can more easily pick up viruses and bacteria; plus the added moisture allows for easier breathing.

“The perfect humidification in

At Home Northern Colorado

the home is 30 to 35% depending on the temperature outside,” Richard said.

Two mechanical ways to introduce humidity into the home are through bypass and steam. A bypass unit has a pad with water dripping onto it and air moving across, and it takes that air, pulls out the moisture and pumps it into the house.

“It’s fairly economical to install and easy to maintain,” Richard said.

The second unit is steam, which involves boiling water and injecting it into the ductwork of the home. It requires a larger unit but has more horsepower to cover more space and with a quicker recovery time.

Northern Colorado Air has three departments to offer its whole house air-purification and comfort systems. The first is for new construction installation and the second is for existing home retrofits of air-conditioning and furnace units. The third is for service or repair—the company offers a maintenance plan to service its customers’ HVAC systems.

“We are the original Northern Colorado Air, Inc., you know and trust,” Richard said. “Thank you for your continued trust and business, and we are here for you the next time you need us. Please call us today.”

ASK ANGIE’S LIST

How can my landscaping prevent basement flooding?

Clean gutters play a vital role in protecting your foundation and basement. (Dreamstime/TNS)

By Paul F. P. Pogue, Angie’s List Angie’s List (TNS) You can take many steps within your basement itself to deal with floods, leaks and other water intrusions. But the single best basement waterproofing measure is to keep water from getting near your basement in the first place.

Landscaping is your first and most effective line of defense against a flooded basement.

Consider these steps to ease up the water pressure. A landscaping professional can help you sort out your options and recommend the best steps.

1. Grade your lawn in the right direction You want water flowing away from your house rather than toward it. If the slope of your lawn directs water towards your home, water will pool up around the foundation or basement.

Eventually, that kind of water pressure finds a way in.

Professional landscapers can turn yard grading into an appealing visual feature. For instance, they might dig a dry creek in the yard and fill it with river rock or cobblestones. This bisects the yard and flows water around the house instead of toward it.

2. Pay attention to water paths in your yard During heavy rain, watch closely to note where water floods or stands. Anywhere you can see water pooling up, you need to resolve. These pools can alert you to specific problems, such as a

sump pump that doesn’t run far enough away or gutters that don’t drain properly.

3. Leave a gap between mulch and siding The same qualities that make mulch so effective at protecting soil can also damage your home, especially with wood and vinyl siding. Moisture can wick up from the mulch and begin to rot any siding it’s in contact with. Allow a 6-inch gap between mulch and siding.

4. Make sure your gutters work properly Hire a gutter cleaner at least twice a year to keep gutters clean. Overflowing gutters are among the biggest culprits for basement flooding. They deposit large amounts of water right next to the edge and cause pooling.

Additionally, make sure your downspouts are directed away from the house so that water is

dropped a good distance away from the home. Professionals recommend at least 4 to 6 feet.

If you have room, longer is even better.

5. Use grass barriers to redirect floodwaters This is the opposite of grading in a way — build up sections of your yard with grass or natural barriers in order to create a path for water to drain neatly from the yard. This is tricky work, so rely on a landscaping expert to help you figure out the best way to do it.

6. Inspect and repair foundation cracks If you have cracks in your home’s foundation, they’re an open door for leaks and water damage. Visually inspect your exterior on a regular basis and fill cracks with epoxy. If you find a more serious problem, or if that doesn’t work, call expert help.

ASK THE EXPERT

assurance from you to make sure they are entering a safe work environment. Be prepared to talk about your own protocol for cleanliness. Respect people coming into your home and try to keep them safe.

Everyone involved should be following CDC guidelines, including wearing a mask and washing your hands frequently.

Regularly disinfect high-contact surfaces like countertops and doorknobs and make hand sanitizer available at entry points to the house. Also, you would not want a sick worker coming into your home, so do not let a contractor work in your home if you or someone else in the house is sick. Remodeling is a very intrusive and disruptive process even without the pandemic. If possible, leave your house while the work is being done. If you do not have anywhere else to go, avoid the work area while contractors are present, and keep any high-risk members of the household away from the worksite. If possible designate one point of entry and one point of exit for the workspace to limit

booties.

If it is an emergency or serious issue, repairs must be done. Some repairs simply cannot be put off.

An untreated electrical shortage could spark a fire. A leaky pipe could cause thousands of dollars of water damage. In those situations, it is necessary to bring in a trained professional.

Remodeling and/or home improvements are another issue.

Many homeowners halted such projects when the pandemic hit.

But some consultations, walkthroughs, and initial meetings are happening online. Talk to your contractors and ask if they have been using any virtual options for providing estimates, quotes, and design work. A video call could help avoid at least one unnecessary trip inside the house.

Before moving forward, ask your contractors what precautions they are taking considering the pandemic. How do they plan to keep your family safe while working in your home? Does the company have a written policy or procedure for performing work at private residences? Your contractors may also want some

Home Repair During COVID-19 Many people are asking themselves “What’s the sense of me not going out if I have somebody

BY RICK who’s going JACQUEMARD out to multiple Flatirons Home houses coming Inspections to my house?”

Home-repair companies were never ordered to put away their tools, however, business practices have shifted to meet the moment. Workers may be required to wear masks and keep their distance from others inside a home, apartment where they are working, according to public health guidelines. Some companies outfit their workers in additional protective gear, such as gloves and

contact areas.

Be patient with your contractors. You may find that contractors are booked weeks or months in advance. When shelter-in-place orders started taking effect in the spring, many homeowners delayed projects.

This has created a bottleneck delaying some projects for months. Lead times for products like cabinetry, windows, and doors have also increased, which in turn can lead to further delays.

To ensure the health of contractors or service technicians and to limit the chance for additional infection, do not call or schedule any home improvements or service appointment if you or anyone in your home is showing symptoms. Cancel any appointments until the risk of infection is gone. Stay educated and up to date about what the situation is like where you live.

Make the best choice for your family.
