Save money with salvaged building materials By: Amanda Abrams ÂŠHouseLogic.com Salvaged building materials allow you to improve your home inexpensively--but might require an extra investment of time and energy. If you're looking to improve your home on the cheap, consider using salvaged building materials. Besides being less expensive than new materials, secondhand features can add character, quality, and value to your home. But note that the savings in dollars may require a greater investment in time and effort. Remodeling with secondhand building materials has many fans. Some are owners of historic houses who improve their homes by adding period elements. Others follow green building practices and appreciate conserving resources and keeping materials out of landfills. And still others are looking for quirky elements that will break their homes

right piece may take longer than you'd expected.

easy to find. Habitat for Humanity's nationwide chain of ReStores sells recycled items, and many cities have architectural salvage yards. Online, neighbors advertise unwanted items on community bulletin boards, such as Craigslist (http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites), and national directories of recycled materials, such as EcoBusinessLinks , can be great sources for hard-to-find elements. And the price is right: reused pieces can be 50% to 75% cheaper than their new counterparts. Searching for salvaged materials Sounds terrific, right? But it's not that simple. Using recycled building elements is like shopping at a thrift store: You can't be certain you'll find exactly what you're looking for. Anyone interested in a good deal to spruce up their home-an ornate wood mantelpiece or a set of Victorian doors, for example-has to be willing to compromise on some of the details and commit some time to the endeavor. If you live in or near a city and have access to a salvage yard, you're in luck. Many receive multiple new shipments daily, and some, such as Seattle's Second Use

out of cookie-cutter molds. Recycled building materials are getting easier to find. According to the Building Materials Reuse Association (http://www.bmra.org), recycling is becoming more common in the construction industry. That means reclaimed building elements like doors, windows, plumbing fixtures, and wood flooring are increasingly

If you've got something particular in mind, plan on spending a few afternoons at the salvage yard trying to track down what you're looking for. The same is true if you're exploring online: locating the

Before beginning your search, make sure you've got measurements in hand. It's useful if you can allow for some wiggle room: unlike big home improvement stores, the items on sale are usually one-of-a-kind pieces. So while a recent truckload might have dropped off a beautiful old mantelpiece, the size might not be an exact fit; know in advance if you can manage with a slightly larger or smaller size. Dealing with lead paint Some old items need to be treated with serious care. Ruthie Mundell of Community Forklift (http://www.communityforklift.com/), a salvage yard in Edmonston, Md., says that the staff tries to flag items that appear to be lead paint hazards--that is, anything painted prior to 1978, when the Consumer Product Safety Commission (http://www.cpsc.gov/) (CPSC) banned lead in paints. Nevertheless, buyers of old painted items need to be aware of the potential hazards. Older paint doesn't mean the pieces are unusable, but the paint must be thoroughly removed or sealed-never scraped or sanded. The CPSC offers guidelines for treating lead paint in the household. Finding savings Some salvaged pieces are better deals than others. The best is often flooring: careful shoppers can find used floor boards from quality old wood that's difficult to come by these days. Sat Jiwan Ikle-Khalsa, a green living consultant in Takoma Park, Md., scoured a local salvage yard and found maple, white oak, and rare heart pine flooring at a low price for his renovated 1940s-era home. He estimates he saved more than $2,000 over the cost of new flooring. Other useful finds are doors, particularly those already on a frame, and plumbing elements. Antique light fixtures can be a great bargain, but check whether they've been recently rewired before you buy; otherwise, you may have to do it yourself, or pay an electrician for the service. Windows are common, but many older widows are single-pane and not energy efficient. These are better used for interior walls to add light and air flow between rooms. Stained glass panels are relatively common (Continued on page 40)

Salvaged building materials ... from page 22 at salvage yards and cost from $50 to $500.

or rent a truck on your own.

Sample price comparisons for various salvaged materials Salvaged oak flooring: $1 to $3 per sq. ft. New oak flooring: $4 to $10 per sq. ft. Average savings for 12x16-foot room: $960

The value of salvage building components Salvaged elements may not add to a home's appraised value, according to Chicago appraiser Tim McCarthy, president of T.J. McCarthy and Associates. An appraiser probably won't include a home's reclaimed heart pine beams in the kitchen or the bathroom's antique plumbing fixtures when calculating the house's value.

Salvaged interior solid panel door (basic): $20 to $50 New interior panel door: $100 to $200 Average savings: $115 Secondhand pedestal sink: $20 to $250 New pedestal sink: $100 to $800 Average savings: $315 Recycled crown molding: $.30 to $1 per lineal ft. New crown molding: $.90 to $3 per lineal ft. Average savings for 12x16-foot room: $72.80 Don't forget to add in transportation costs. Not all salvage yards deliver, and those that do aren't necessarily cheap: the cost of getting materials across town could be $100 or more. It might make more sense to borrow

"It's very market-specific," McCarthy says. In higher-end neighborhoods, homebuyers may be willing to pay more for authentic elements that give a house personality. McCarthy recommends talking with a local realtor before making changes; they'll have a good sense of the housing market's current demands and should be able to tell you whether a vintage element will boost your home's market value. Working with salvage To effectively integrate salvaged items, Arne Mortensen, owner of Mortensen Design/Build in Seattle, recommends choos-

ing a contractor who has a particular interest and experience in working with recycled building materials. Salvage yard staffs may be able to recommend someone; other sources for 'green' contractors include online sites like Angie's List (http://www.angieslist.com/angieslist/). Nonetheless, the time-consuming legwork of finding good pieces generally falls to the homeowner. To make the process easier, spend time thinking about and researching online what you want before you begin to shop. And be prepared to be persistent; happy hunting takes patience. Amanda Abrams is a Washington, D.C.-based writer who spent years as a policy analyst improving people's access to decent housing. Her interest in salvaged building materials and all things secondhand originated 15 years ago with a chance visit to Urban Ore, a vast warehouse of used treasures in Berkeley, Calif., where she was attending college at the time.

Essential heating system maintenance By: Oliver Marks ÂŠHouseLogic.com Getting your home's heating system professionally serviced every year will keep it running smoothly and help keep heating costs under control. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is usually a good rule-except when it comes to your heating system. Even if it's humming along just fine, having a technician take it apart once a year to clean the lines and filters and give it a thorough inspection is absolutely essential. Regular servicing reduces the risk of breakdowns and prolongs the unit's life. Plus, it saves you money: For every year of maintenance you skip, energy bills jump 5% to 10% because of reduced efficiency. Here's the lowdown on heating system maintenance.

Regular servicing reduces the risk of breakdowns and prolongs the unit's life. Plus, it saves you money.

Who does the job? The simplest way to get the work done is to hire your fuel company to do it. Oil companies and gas utilities usually provide this service, or you can hire the contractor who installed the equipment. Also, some plumbers handle heating systems. What is involved? The technician will clean soot and corrosion out of the combustion chamber where the fuel is burned, and check it for leaks or damage. He'll inspect the flue pipe for open seams, clogs, or corrosion that could cause carbon monoxide to backdraft into the house. He'll replace the filters on oil and forced-air systems.

Finally, he'll test the exhaust from your cleaned machine and use the information to adjust the burner for maximum efficiency. How much will it cost? You'll pay between $100 and $180 for the service, depending largely on whether you have a gas system, which is easier to maintain, or oil, which requires a fair amount of soot removal. Usually the cost is covered by an annual maintenance contract that also provides 24-hour emergency service. While the technician is there, he should also service your water heater, assuming it has a separate oil or gas burner. When is the best time to do the work? Ideally, have your system tuned up in the fall so it's in top shape for the start of the heating season. Of course, that's when technicians are the busiest, so if you can't do it when you want, do it when you can-as long as your system is serviced once a year. And don't expect your provider to call to remind you that it's time. Even if you subscribe to an annual service plan, you still need to call to make an appointment. Call in the spring or summer to be sure of getting on the schedule in the fall. A former carpenter and newspaper reporter, Oliver Marks has been writing about home improvements for 16 years.

My real estate…my mountains

Maneuver the maze in just seven days

We’re not in Kansas anymore Toto! I’ll bet you can’t wait to buy a home here in Western North Carolina. Who wouldn’t want to? Assume that wherever your home ends up being you will also own whatever view that you have. That’s’ right! If you can see Mt. Pisgah from your back deck…it’s part of your yard. If the top of the Biltmore Mansion is seen from your upstairs bedroom window…it’s your second home. If the farmer’s market is within sight…it now becomes your pantry. Yessireee…it’s a wonderful menagerie of opportunity for home owners here. You can be the ‘owner’ of lots of really cool things here in the mountains, including; a vibrant culture, hidden trails, running rivers, and flora beyond your wildest ‘technicolor’ dreams.

You presume this mortgage loan process is going to hurt… but it doesn’t have to. Get prequalified, ask your lender for all the information that they will need, and make sure they commit to keeping you apprised of the process on a weekly basis. It is a big transaction! It is an important deal! It means a lot to everyone! So…be patient, yet firm in your requests for updates, explanations, and time frames. There is no reason your loan can’t be completed in a reasonable time frame, which quite often depends on the current industry dynamics. Also, ask the lender if they will be at the closing, and if not, why not. That’ll make them ‘sit up and take notice’

Bill’s Corners I’ve been involved with the real estate and mortgage industry for more than 30 years and feel privileged to have landed here in Asheville. Moving from Detroit gave my family and me an appreciation of… ‘wow, can you believe this place!’ I’ve travelled around the world with my speaking opportunities, but this is the ‘cat’s meow’ when it comes to…you name it ... a list of everything good. Every week I hope to be able to give you some information that is pertinent, interesting, and perhaps a little entertaining. So please enjoy my ‘Corner’, and if you do decide to buy a house, rest assured it was a good decision. Bill Early is a consultant, speaker, and author of real estate and mortgage industry articles.

Name this dog When most people see me for the first time, they comment that I look just like a fox. I typically wear a solid red-gold coat; which looks nice with my broad skull, pointed muzzle, prick ears, dense double coat and bushy tail. I am honored to be the national dog of Finland, where I was used as a natural bark pointer for hunting small game and game birds. I am fun to be with, am faithful and actually love children. I am extremely intelligent and self-willed, so if you want me to do something it’s with doggy treats not ‘doing a time out’. I stand no more than 20 inches at the shoulder and I need my coat brushed weekly….ahhhhhhh. (Finnish Spitz)
