Windermere Lopez Island 360-468-3344 | www.wrelopez.com 182 Lopez Rd, Lopez Island, WA 98261

Plan your visit to our island soon and let us help you discover ‘The Friendly Isle.’

Serving Lopez Island since 1985.

Third largest of the San Juan Islands, Lopez has an area of 29 miles with 56 miles of shoreline. Nestled in the San Juan archipelago of 172 islands, we're just 45 minutes by ferry from mainland Anacortes.

Residents know Lopez as a place to “get away from it all” where nature is still intact. The climate is mild, with rainfall averaging 25 inches per year. Country roads winding through forest and pastureland offer vistas of quiet bays and driftwood-covered beaches. Fences are for keeping black-tail deer and rabbits out of the garden.

A public trail system offers several hikes from one to three miles long. You can enjoy the view from Lopez Hill, at 500 feet it’s the highest point on the island. Or you can take a casual stroll to Iceberg Point along the rugged southwest shoreline.

When you visit, you’ll notice that almost everyone gives you a wave - it’s not a coincidence it’s a friendly Lopez custom.

GREEN UP YOUR PATIO WITH PLANTS The easiest and most versatile way to add plants to a patio is by using containers. Evergreen shrubs in containers can define areas of a patio, provide privacy and shade or serve as a windbreak. Smaller pots of perennials, annuals or bulbs can introduce seasonal color to a patio. One advantage to using containers is that they are portable, which means you can move the plants around to suit your mood and their needs. Just be sure that the containers match the style of the patio.

Another alternative is to have built-in planting areas on the patio. This is best done when you design and build the patio: leave open spaces to act as in-ground containers that you can plant directly into. This method creates more protection from freezing temperatures, and plants need less irrigation than if they are grown in containers. It also allows you to grow low ground covers that help soften large expanses of paving.

If you include a built-in in-ground planter, it is vital that the planting hole drain adequately and the soil does not become too alkaline as a result of adjoining mortar.

Here’s how to get the best results: Once the patio is built, including the planting holes, excavate a hole at least 3 feet deep and fill the hole with water at least 12 inches deep. If the water does not drain within four hours, you’ll need to improve drainage or use containers or raised beds. If the hole passes the drainage test, line it with heavy plastic, make several large slits in the bottom of the plastic so water can drain, then fill the hole with good soil.

FOCAL POINTS CAN DO DOUBLE DUTY

WATER FEATURES ADD AMBIANCE

In the same way you would decorate a room inside the house, use yard art to accent and otherwise decorate your patio. If the patio can be seen readily from inside the house, the use of ornaments such as wire spheres, metal obelisks or topiary frames with or without plants can help link the indoors with the outdoors. A focal point that also has a practical function serves double duty.

Whether elaborate and built-in or simple and freestanding, water features are desirable amenities for a patio. Even a small pond can host a number of plants and/or fish. Or install a fountain to provide a bubbling soundtrack to your outdoor experiences and minimize sounds from neighbors or traffic.

FIND FURNITURE YOU LOVE The most common and useful amenity for a patio is furniture. It provides a place to sit, dine or otherwise enjoy the space. When choosing patio furniture, consider the style and how it matches the surroundings, as well as how comfortable and durable it is. Outdoor furniture that has to be protected or that stains easily when exposed to the elements will probably prove to be more trouble than it is worth.

MUST-HAVE FEATURES HOMEBUYERS ALWAYS LOOK FOR

Creative Living 87 Digestsize.indd 1

5/24/22 10:42 AM

T

oday, first-time homebuyers have a more casual, laid-back lifestyle – and that’s reflected in their home search priorities. Less concerned about formal home design styles, soon-to-be homeowners aren’t necessarily looking for homes with a rigid layout. Instead, topping their list of must-haves is the flexibility of high-tech features and extra spaces. The home’s appearance is also high-priority, with the use of natural textures and curb appeal commonly at the forefront of potential homeowners’ minds as they shop the real estate market. Here are the essential features homebuyers are constantly asking for – and what you should look for when purchasing a home or prepping yours for sale.

S

1

Natural surfaces shine. Marble, concrete and wood are having a moment. Buyers are seeking out natural (and natural-looking) surfaces for every space–hardwood floors in the living area instead of covering the room in carpeting, natural stone countertops in kitchens and bathrooms. This preference extends to furniture and accessories too. The rich wood finishes characteristic to midcentury modern decor continue to be popular, for example.

2

Exteriors matter. Much like meeting a new person, a home needs to create a positive first impression to make you want to come back to it over and over. This means that exterior appearance is just as important as interior design (if not more so!). You want to feel content and happy to return to your home at the end of a long day, so making it visually pleasing is paramount. There are many things you can do to boost curb appeal, including projects as simple as painting the front door. Other tasks include adding attractive landscaping, ensuring pathways are well-lit, and performing regular maintenance on the roof and siding.

3

Bonus rooms appeal. Another item that’s hot on potential homebuyers’ lists? A spare room! Because it’s not set as a bathroom or bedroom, this extra space could be used for different purposes over time. Bonus rooms might end up as home offices, workout rooms or kids’ playrooms as your family’s needs change throughout the years. These versatile, multifunctional spaces provide the flexibility homebuyers are looking for in a home layout.

4

Tech tempts. A recent survey conducted by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate revealed something interesting about first-time homebuyers. Today, budding homeowners are excited about smart home features. They want to be able to lock doors, adjust the thermostat and turn on lights using voice commands or their smartphone while they’re away.

Smart technology helps automate basic tasks, which means you have one less thing to worry about. ©2022 Meredith Corporation. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Active photons in the sun’s ultraviolet rays blast copper atoms from solid copper. These copper ions wash down the roof, bonding with the asphalt and preventing the crosslinking. For that reason, it’s best to put about 9 or 12 inches of exposed copper up on top of each side of your roof.

Each time it rains, the copper atoms broken off by the photons wash down onto the asphalt allowing them to link to the asphalt. If your asphalt shingles are in very good condition, you can add the copper and get the same benefit.

6 AREAS TO TACKLE DURING

Summer Cleaning Not everything can be cleaned at all times of the year, making the summer a good time to take care of some of those household cleaning tasks while the weather is warm.

Wash your vacuum filters.

Our vacuums do a lot of the dirty work around the house; and if you have pets, the dust and dander can really accumulate in the vacuum’s air filters. If they’re not cleaned regularly, you can end up sending out a cloud of that dust when you vacuum. Wash, rinse, and air-dry vacuums outdoors.

Clean that grimy grill.

Clean your dryer hose and vent.

Check your dryer hose and your home’s exterior vent to look for build-up. Pull the dryer away from the wall and inspect the hose at the dryer by removing it to make sure lint hasn’t backed up into your appliance.

The summer is the best time to use the grill, and that means they can accumulate a lot of grease and cooking build-up.

Give your grill a good scrubbing so that it’s clean for the remainder of the summer and not so built up with grime when you pull it out again next spring.

Inspect the fireplace and chimney.

When the weather turns cold, everyone will be calling to have their fireplace and chimney inspected or cleaned. Do it before the first cold snap when your local chimney sweep will be anxious for the work and may even charge less for it.

The more you maintain during the summer months, the less tedious the next seasonal deep clean will be.

Inspect and clean the basement.

Wash your stove’s exhaust filter.

Hoods and over the range filters can become greasy and messy.

This is a good time to take them out, wash them in hot sudsy ammonia and let air dry.

Now is the time to inspect for leaks, mold, and insects. Give your basement a good cleaning and thorough going-over before the cold and damp sets in and your basement will be in good shape when winter arrives.

HOW TO

Beat the Heat I N M O R E WAY S T H A N O N E

There are times during the summer when you have got to have some relief from the heat. And whether fans are sitting on the floor, nestled in the window or hanging from the ceiling, not all fans are created equal. Some are noisy, some don’t really move the air well, and some are simply aggravating. Here’s how you can get some cool relief with the help of some devices that get the job done.

A QUIET COOL There are few things that make a hot situation worse than a noisy fan.

That goes away with the Dyson Air Multiplier Table Fan. This is perfect when you need a little air movement or to give your air conditioner a boost. Because there are no blades, there’s no worry about little fingers being hurt. It also has a high-tech style that just looks cool.

For sleeping, a vertical stand fan is a good option. One of the quietest on the market is the Dyson stand fan, but at almost $400, you may want it to do more than blow air. Another option is the Lasko 42-inch Wind Curve. At around $50, you get a tall, space- and money-saving fan that can help you get your cool on.

WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY A window air fan might be a better answer, but you want one that looks better than a standard box fan propped in the window. For that, the Bionaire Twin Reversible Airflow Window Fan, available at Amazon. com, can move hot air out of the house or cool air in and fits neatly in a window.

Creative Living 87 Digestsize.indd 6

5/24/22 10:42 AM

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX The Vornado Whole Room Air Circulator will help you feel cooler and give your air conditioner a break by being able to raise the thermostat so that it doesn’t work quite as hard.

If you’re just overheating in bed, there’s a fan for that too. The BedJet (www.bedjet.com) has a small fan that goes under the bed, and an attached blower blows air under the sheets.

If you’ve had problems with night sweats or hot flashes or just can’t cool down at night, this could be what you’ve been looking for; it can also blow warm air during the winter, making it perfect for cold toes.

COOL PORTABILITY You can also try a portable air conditioner. These portable units can be moved wherever you need some extra cooling, such as in the living room during the day and the bedroom at night. The Koldfront Portable Air Conditioner, available at Amazon.com, will cool up to 500 feet of living space and vents out any external window. Cool and efficient and at about $400, you get cool dehumidified air that will help you feel more comfortable.

Another option is the Frigidaire Portable Air Conditioner, which brings the temps down and has a cool look that’s not the same, old white box.
