Make Resolutions that Will Last Beyond the New Year Every New Year, do you make the same old resolutions? Go to the gym. Quit smoking. Be more organized. Then, like many people, do you abandon these goals within a month or two?

Here are some resolutions you can make — and keep — that will benefit not only you, but also your family, your community and your world.

Improve Your Home’s Safety There are lots of little things you can do around the house to give yourself big peace of mind that your family is protected from all-toocommon household accidents. For example, to avoid electrical shocks, place covers over all outlets and tie up or unplug cords so they don’t dangle temptingly in front of toddlers or pets.

Home electrical problems account for 67,800 fires during a typical year, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Inspect appliance cords and immediately replace any that are worn, old or damaged. Keep clothes, curtains and

other potentially combustible items at least three feet from all heaters. Make sure electrical appliances are used and stored away from wet floors and counters.

Your home’s windows need to be accessible

in case your family has to use them as an escape route. Make sure they are not nailed or painted shut, and if they have guards, security bars, grilles or grates, test the release mechanism make sure it works.

On the other hand, windows can pose a falling hazard. Make sure screens are secure, and keep furniture — or anything children can climb — away from window ledges.

Save Money by Being Energy Smart Prices for fuel oil, propane and electricity are always on the rise, so even the smallest improvements could help your family’s budget. Replacing incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescents can save you up

to three-quarters of the electricity previously used by incandescent bulbs.

Make sure you change your furnace filter regularly. A dirty filter will make the furnace work harder to regulate the temperature and will cost you money.

Put an insulating blanket on your water heater. The U.S. Department of Energy says that adding insulation to your heater can reduce standby heat losses by 25%-45%, and save 4%-9% in water heating costs. The blankets cost anywhere from $15 to $50 and are easy to install.

Invest in a programmable thermostat and set it to lower the heat automatically when your home is empty during the workday, and at night when everyone is asleep. Programmable

thermostats can save about $180 per year in energy costs, according to Energy Star, a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Conserve water, and reduce your water bill, by making simple changes such as running dishwashers and clothes washers only when they are full and taking short showers instead of baths and turning off the water when you are shampooing or soaping.

De-Clutter and Help Others Donating your unused items to charity could be a lifesaver for homeless or needy families.

If it’s in good condition, your out-of-style or outgrown clothing could keep a family warm during the cold weather months.

Many local charities also accept donations of household items that are in working order.

That lamp, toaster or set of dishes gathering dust in the garage could help furnish a home for a needy family.

When you redecorate or remodel, don’t put out-of-style-but-usable home furnishings such as light fixtures, bathroom vanities, and even doorknobs in the garbage. Habitat for Humanity ReStores and other organizations will pick up and re-sell them at a fraction of the cost of new, and the proceeds help build Habitat homes.

Keep Your Family and Home Safe with Smoke Detectors

It is important to know how to best protect your family in the event of a fire in your home. It only takes a few simple steps to ensure your family stays safe:

Page 12 - BBIA Home & Ranch Expo, February 1, 2015

• Make sure that your smoke alarm system is in working order.

You should test all of your smoke alarms every month by simply pressing the test button.

Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends putting a smoke alarm inside each bedroom and outside each sleeping area, as well as installing alarms on every floor of your home, including the basement.

• Never go back into a burning building.

Once you have escaped, do not return to your home for other people or pets. Call the fire department after you have safely left the house.

Thanks to smoke alarms, Americans are safer than they’ve ever been. According to NFPA, deaths from home fires dropped to a new low in 2012, when the estimated home fire death toll of 2,380 was 54% lower than 5,200 in 1980.

And the design of smoke alarms continues • Devise an escape plan and practice it.

Every family needs to have a fire safety action to improve, with new innovations including plan. The plan should include multiple ways wireless technology and alternate signal noises for family members to escape the home that are easier for children and seniors to hear. and a designated meeting place. Make sure that every family member knows the plan by practicing it during the day and at night.

Finding Design Ideas for Your Remodeling Project

You want to change the look and feel of your house, but you also want your remodeling job to look fresh for a number of years and complement the existing features of your home. How do you choose the right project and design for you and your family?

Page 14 - BBIA Home & Ranch Expo, February 1, 2015

First, take your family’s lifestyle into account when selecting an area of your home to remodel. For example, if you get a lot of traffic through the house, consider hardwood floors. Families who frequently entertain in the kitchen may want to expand the room and add an island or some comfortable chairs. If your bathroom is the place where you escape the world, add a whirlpool tub or a deluxe shower.

After you’ve chosen an area of your home to remodel, the wide array of project options can be both dazzling and intimidating. To get started, consult the resources below, which can give you specific ideas on how to turn your house into the dream home you’ve always wanted.

TV Shows: There are an increasing number of shows and channels focused on decorating and simple home improvement projects to

more complex remodels or home makeovers.

For example, HGTV features projects that evolve from start to finish on shows like “Buying and Selling” and “Curb Appeal”; check your local television guide for listings.

Magazines: Magazines that cater to home improvement, lifestyle and remodeling can be an excellent source of ideas. Page through publications such as Dwell, Home, House Beautiful, Better Homes and Gardens, Southern Living, Coastal Living, Food and Wine, Country Living, Ladies’ Home Journal and Good Housekeeping to identify projects and materials that might work in your home.

Additionally, you can request a wide range of free or inexpensive literature by completing the mail-in coupons inserted in such publications.

Websites/Blogs: Surfing the Web is a great way to find fresh ideas and to research

projects. Many remodelers, manufacturers and magazines host websites that feature project photos, buying guides and product information. Web directories such as the NAHB Remodelers Directory can help you find professional remodelers in your area.

Other sites such as Pinterest and Houzz have extensive photo collections for inspiration.

And, an increasing number of DIY and design blogs created by homeowners themselves can also provide inspiration for simple projects you can do around the house.

Sketches and Floor Plans: No two remodeling projects are the same, but you can gain some insight into how another homeowner solved a space problem by carefully studying sketches and floor plans. If, like most people, you are easily confused by plans and drawings, imagine yourself in the middle of the room or space on the plan.

Books: Browse a bookstore with a wellstocked home improvement section, but beware of books telling you to be your own remodeling contractor. Most remodeling projects call for a level of skill and work hours beyond those stated in these books. The job of a professional remodeler requires experience and competence in a wide range of disciplines, and unless you are highly skilled and licensed in all the trades, you can quickly get in over your head.

Newspapers: Most newspapers publish regular sections devoted to real estate, home design and remodeling. Also, twice a year — usually in the spring and fall — many papers print special home improvement supplements.

Each of these sections contains timely articles and useful advertisements on remodeling, home improvement, repair and maintenance.

Friends, Family and Neighbors: Do you know someone who has recently remodeled their home in a style you admire? He or she

may still have product manuals, magazines and other helpful information you can borrow, as well as practical advice drawn from his or her own experience.

Remodeling Professionals: One of the advantages of choosing a remodeler early is gaining access to an extensive library of resources prior to starting a project. Once you’ve chosen a contractor, he or she usually can offer you a wide variety of materials, including product manuals, magazines, brochures and blueprints.

Manufacturers and Suppliers: The most obvious place to find information about new products and how to use them is on manufacturers’ Web sites and in magazine ads. Lumberyards, hardware stores and other suppliers also can be valuable sources of

Three upgrades sure to turn kitchen time into quality time

The average American spends an hour a day in the kitchen preparing food and cleaning up afterward, according to the American Time Use Survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Add in the time it takes to put groceries away, load and unload dishwashers, organize cabinets and pantries or just hang out, and you spend a whole lot of time in your kitchen.

But do you really enjoy that time? Whether cooking is your favorite activity or you would rather

your granite countertops. Consider adding natural light sources such as skylights and roof windows. Not only can these natural light sources improve the feel of your kitchen, they can decrease the need for artificial lighting.

What’s more, if you opt for an Energy Starqualified, solar-powered fresh air skylight, like those made by Velux, you can improve your kitchen’s ventilation as well. These skylights create a chimney effect that passively vents fumes, odor, humidity and cooking smoke from the kitchen without the need for a noisy, less efficient exhaust fan. Adding energy efficient solar blinds can allow you to control the amount of sunlight that enters your kitchen, closing the blinds to keep the room cooler in summer and Improved natural lighting and ventilation The positive effects of natural lighting on opening them to admit more warming light mood are well documented. If your kitchen in winter. Operated by remote control, solar is small and dark, it can feel dingy and tired, skylights and blinds, as well as the installation no matter how new your appliances or shiny costs, are eligible for a 30 percent federal tax clean the bathroom, the livability and usability of your kitchen can directly affect how you feel about the time you spend there.

If you’re considering a kitchen renovation among the most popular and profitable of all home improvements - keep in mind the value of upgrades that will enhance the efficiency, practicality and beauty of the space. This type of improvement will not only pay off at the time of resale, but can improve the time you spend in your kitchen.

Here are three key kitchen upgrades that can elevate the appeal and usability of your kitchen:

Upgraded fixtures Sinks and faucets are functional essentials for a kitchen, but they can - and should - also make a design statement. Replacing a basic, dated faucet and swapping out an older sink can have a significant impact on the overall look and utility of a kitchen - for a fraction of the cost of grander renovations.

It’s possible to find new sinks that fit virtually any design taste. Stainless steel provides a sleek, modern look while delivering outstanding durability. Apron sinks, which come in a variety of materials, blend well with a rustic design theme. Undermount and integrated sinks eliminate unsightly edges on countertops. You can also find a variety of basin styles in virtually every material, from single to double basins

and prep sinks.

Whatever sink you choose, be sure to accent it with a high-tech faucet. Pull-down faucets make cleaning and filling pots a breeze, while touch-free faucets allow you to turn the flow of water off and on without ever touching the faucet itself - thereby avoiding the spread of germs. A vast array of colors, styles and handle types ensure you can find an upscale faucet that improves usability and looks great in your kitchen.

Energy-efficient appliances Appliances are a kitchen element well worth a little extra investment. Considering how much the average American family uses their refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and stove, improving the usability and efficiency of these appliances can both elevate your enjoyment of

the kitchen and save you some money in the long run.

In the typical American home, appliances represent 13 percent of the household’s total energy consumption, according to the Department of Energy. Replacing older appliances with newer, more energy-efficient models can reduce your energy costs. For example, replacing an older refrigerator with an Energy Star certified appliance could reduce your energy costs as much as $300 over the lifetime of the refrigerator, according to the Department of Energy.

What’s more, newer appliances offer many of the high-tech features that make life in the kitchen easier, from touchscreen interfaces and temperature controls on dishwashers to Wi-Fi enabled refrigerators. For more kitchen ideas visit www.houzz.com.
