Changing up

Planning and prioritizing

get your

moveON m

ake moving easier. Starting early and breaking down tasks into manageable time frames will reduce the pressure and potential mishaps. To avoid surprises, allow at least four to six weeks to prepare.

Offload and organize Get organized and dispose of unwanted furniture and possessions. Clean the items you want to take to your new home; it will make packing easier and unpacking will be more enjoyable. You may also want to: Hold a garage sale or advertise furniture for sale Donate unwanted items to charitable organizations Coordinate with your sanitation department to haul away bulk items or extra garbage Check with your moving company or the U.S. Department of Agriculture on what plants you can and cannot take with you

Get estimates from at least 3 companies Estimates: Ask the movers to provide you with two estimates, one that includes packing and one that does not.

Big item moving: Ask each moving company how they wrap large objects.

Find out if padding and packing artwork, lamps and mirrors are part of the estimate.

Insurance: Most movers automatically insure for a nominal amount, which may or may not cover the cost of replacement.

Schedule: Be sure to get your date in writing and provide a deposit, but do not pay in full until the move is completed.

Tip: Unless you pay the moving company to pack your items for you, they usually will not handle loose items, such as utensils, tools or clothing. Be sure to have the details worked out with the mover beforehand.

Drain power equipment and grills of oil or fuel and have it properly disposed of

Quick Tip

Boxes you don’t want buried in the back of the truck For quick access after you move, consider separating boxes containing the following items:

Basic kitchen supplies

Pet food and medication

Bed linens and towels

Household items like light bulbs and trash bags

Toiletries and medications Tools and flashlights A few outfits and school supplies for children

Outdoor Living

Style outside

Made for shade These garden features combine beauty and function

By Homes & Land Staff

Q

uick! Identify that outdoor structure. Is it a pergola, a gazebo, an arbor?

The cultivated landscape isn’t just about what we grow — it’s also about the beautiful and functional things we build. Among the most common of these are the three named above. All will support climbing plants. One has a roof. Do you know what’s what?

If shelter from rain is your goal, make a run for the gazebo. When built as a permanent feature, these opensided structures are traditionally Quick tip octagonal, hexagonal or round and have For aa simple, simple, creative creative shade shade For a roof that slopes solution, consider consider aa sail. sail.

Find Find shade shade contemporary one set like a jewel in sails at at select select stores stores or or online online.. sails the landscape.

Ready-made gazebos tend to be square or rectangular, with a metal framework and a tent-like fabric top. Available at home-improvement and discount stores, these gazebos offer a relatively easy, affordable way to create a sheltered outdoor room.

Pergolas are popular patio features, especially near pools. Structurally, a pergola is a square or rectangular

This custom structure has the posts and open sides of a pergola but offers a sheltering roof, like a gazebo.

Under sail

framework of upright posts topped by crossbeams.

It’s usually made of wood. Lacking a solid roof, classic pergolas offer little protection from rain but can support climbing plants that supply shade. They are also wellsuited for standing around and looking pretty, and can strike a note that’s rustic or formal.

“Arbor” often refers to a small, pergola-like structure over a pathway, gate or bench, but the term can be used more loosely to refer to any leafy alcove. The common garden structure has latticed sides reaching up to an openframed arch or angular top. It is usually made of wood or metal. Arbors can serve as accents or as transitions from one part of a yard to another. For the perfect fairytale landscape, grow climbing roses up and over an arbor.

A pre-construction checklist ✔ Before building a pergola or gazebo, look into neighborhood or city ordinances and make sure you have the right permits, if required. ✔ Plan! Even if you’re installing a small ready-made arbor, it helps to sketch out placement so you can situate the structure to the best advantage. ✔ To ensure your shady oasis will endure, take care to choose the right material for the climate and landscape. Hardwoods such as oak last but are costly. Get the same effect with treated softwoods at less expense. Brick or stone supports are handsome as well as sturdy, but you’ll probably want to a mason to build them.

Hold the

H20 Don’t use water or lose it if you don’t have to

By Vinny Kuntz

W

ater conservation is good for the environment, and it can save you money.

Those assertions fall under the general category of “stuff everyone knows,” but behind them lie facts and figures that are well worth considering.

Information on water and ways to save it are detailed in a program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The program, WaterSense, is both a label to help consumers identify water-efficient products and a reservoir of facts and tips. According to the website epa.gov/watersense:

we use. Letting your faucet run for five minutes uses about as much energy as letting a 60-watt light bulb run for 22 hours. About 70 percent of U.S. electricity is generated by burning coal and natural gas, which contributes to climate change.

>> The average household spends as much as $500 annually on its water and sewer bill. Households can save an estimated $170 annually by installing waterefficient fixtures and appliances, which can reduce water consumption by 30 percent.

On the savings front for water and money, the WaterSense label is on more than 300 models of showerheads, 730 types of tank-style high efficiency toilets and 2,600 faucet or faucet accessory models such as aerators.

Such products use less water and perform as well as or better than standard models, the environmental agency maintains. WaterSense products are independently tested and certified to meet the EPA’s criteria for efficiency and performance.

If all inefficient toilets in U.S. homes were converted to WaterSense-labeled models, the nation could save more than 640 billion gallons of water per year — the equivalent to 15 days of flow over Niagara Falls.

>> Although 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, less than 1 percent is available for human use. In the U.S., most states face shortages of this finite resource.

>> The average American family uses more than 300 gallons of water daily.

>> Household leaks waste more than 1 trillion gallons of water annually. Inefficient fixtures and appliances add considerably more.

>> Lots of energy is needed to treat and deliver the water

Ways to save water daily

Homes & Land

■ First and foremost, repair

all leaks.

■ Install low-flow aerators and showerheads.

■ Consider purchasing a high-efficiency washing machine.

■ Use the appropriate water level or load size selection on the washer.

■ Never pour water down

Quick tip

Color it fixed A leaky toilet can waste as much as 200 gallons of water daily. To detect leaks, add food coloring to the tank water.

If the color appears in the bowl within 15 minutes without flushing, you have a leak. The culprit is usually a faulty toilet flapper. Replacing it is a relatively easy, inexpensive job.

the drain when there might be another use for it — such as watering plants.

■ Don’t let water run while shaving or brushing teeth.

■ Take short showers instead of tub baths.

■ Never use your toilet as a wastebasket.

■ Scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into

the dishwasher.

■ Operate the dishwasher

only when completely full.

■ Wash fruits and

vegetables in a basin or bowl. Use a veggie brush.

■ Don’t use water to defrost frozen foods; thaw in refrigerator overnight.

Interior design and decor

Beyond the

BOX When it comes to decorating, today’s flat screen TVs make for a much prettier picture

R

By Mikalee Byerman

emember when cumbersome armoires used to house boxy TVs that were as deep as they were wide? And remember when these behemoths were the centerpiece of the family room? To the relief of interior designers everywhere, today’s sleek, flat screens have changed all that.

No longer is the TV the obtrusive, attention-hogging star. So let décor take the spotlight as the television blends into the background. Here are five tips for hiding a flat screen or artistically incorporating it into a room:

Recess time: The ultimate space saver is to recess a flat screen into the wall, but this option requires the skills of a carpenter and some financial investment. Remember to allow enough depth to be able to tilt the TV for optimal viewing.

1

What’s your number?

Where is the best seat in the house for your TV? The experts at the Toshiba Research Center offer these standards for optimal TV placement and seating: Distance: Multiply the TV screen size by 1.2 (minimum distance) and 1.9 (maximum).

Then divide each result by 12 to get

Homes & Land

A black-framed flat screen becomes inconspicuous on a dark wall.

Dark of night: Blend the TV into the background by hanging it on a wall dressed in a dark tone like rich chocolate or high-gloss black. The unit will be subtly camouflaged — until you turn it on, of course.

2

Art attack: Treat your television like a sculpture or work of art, placing it on an ornate display stand or easel. Flat screens typically boast clean lines and sparse accouterments, so treating one like a painting lends a modern vibe.

3

The frame game: If you have a niche above the mantel or on a focal wall, consider surrounding the flat screen with a custom frame. To add to

4

the illusion (and maybe trick guests at your next party), display stunning stilllife photography on the screen.

The eyes have it: And last, but not least, try to decorate a room with the TV at eye level, not high up.

After all, how often do you watch while standing up?

Quick tip

Stealthy sound Take a cue from the cinema and create a home entertainment system with hidden surround sound. Stealth Acoustics makes "invisible speakers," which can be installed in walls or ceilings and finished with virtually any paint or wall covering.

distance in feet. The perfect range is between those minimum and maximum numbers. For example, for a 50-inch set, the optimal distance is about 6.5 feet.

Horizontal placement: For determining left-right location, make sure the TV spans a 40-degree angle from your line of sight.

Vertical orientation: From your sight-line, the TV should be within a 15-degree angle.
