How to make your renovation a successful, positive experience (MS) — By Scott McGillivray In the United States, renovation spending has more than doubled since the late 1990s, reaching nearly $65 billion last year alone. Oftentimes the investment a homeowner makes is substantial, both financially and emotionally. The stakes are high. That’s why it’s imperative that the job is done well from start to finish. There are a number of steps a homeowner can take to ensure a positive experience and a successful outcome, including: 1. Know your goal. Ask the question, “What is this renovation designed to accomplish? More functionality? Storage? Living space?” If a homeowner doesn’t know where they’re going with the renovation, chances are they’ll never get there.

line when unanticipated issues creep up.

end result, which can bring years of enjoyment and ultimately add to your home’s bottom line.

Lastly, the key to a successful renovation includes patience. Living in a construction zone — or alternately moving out while the work is done — can be stressful and trying. Keep your eyes on the prize. There’s nothing more rewarding than the

Scott McGillivray is an award-winning TV host, a full-time real estate investor, contractor, author, and educator. Follow him on Twitter @smcgillivray.

2. Do your research. In most things, knowledge is power, and knowing what to expect, in advance, can keep expectations in check. Investigate options, budgets and timelines, and arrange financing in advance.

3. Hire professionals. Be sure that they are happy to work with you to meet your budget and achieve your vision. Communicate clearly and often to ensure understanding on both sides.

4. Opt for a general contractor and trades that are experienced, licensed and insured. Don’t hesitate to check credentials and references.

Get recommendations from family, friends and colleagues who have had work done and were satisfied with the results.

5. Start with quality building materials. When it comes to home renovation and construction, the adage, “it’s what’s on the inside that counts” seems apt. While homeowners tend to get caught up in the aesthetics of a project, such as finishings and paint colors, the key to a successful renovation often lies in what you won’t see. Investing in quality behind your walls will ensure durability, comfort and safety for years to come.

6. Focus on the basics. This includes quality electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing and drywall.

Don’t underestimate the importance of insulation — especially in a basement renovation. Not all insulation is created equal. Opt for insulation that is fire-resistant, sound absorbent and resistant to mold, mildew, bacterial growth, and rot. In my renovations, I like to use products like Roxul’s Comfortbatt and Comfortboard IS to help achieve a more energy efficient home, buy you valuable time in the event of a fire and prevent moisture issues that can pose health risks and lead to costly repairs.

7. Develop a good plan. This includes preparing for the unexpected. Setting aside a 20 percent contingency fund will help bring you to the finish

Break ground with the right tools

churning soil for garden beds or digging holes for outdoor structures, additional tools come in handy. It may be well worth a trip to a nearby home center to purchase or rent one of these tools ideal for breaking ground.

(MS) — The right tools for the job can be the difference between an interminable landscaping project and one that goes smoothly and efficiently.

Aspiring landscapers probably have a few shovels and rakes hanging in their garages and sheds for basic landscaping work. But while such tools are effective for certain projects, when it comes to

Rototiller A rototiller, sometimes called just a “tiller,� is a powered garden tool designed to loosen soil prior to planting. A rototiller also can help aerate soil during the growing season. Because they reduce the need for manual spade digging or hoeing, tillers can be useful landscaping tools, particularly for homeowners who want to work efficiently.

Rototillers will break through tough soil and any plant roots. They come in a variety of sizes, and Continued on Page 7

(MS) — The icy winds from last year’s Polar Vortex are back on our minds again as we head towards winter. The plummeting temperatures are one thing, but of more concern is the destruction that these extreme weather events can bring, including winds that last year gusted up to 100 kilometers per hour, threatening our personal safety, as well as the very foundation of our homes.

The building industry does have a proven solution, however. For more than a decade, construction technology has given us the energy-saving option to replace standard wood framing with an interlocking concrete system known as ICFs, or insulated concrete forms.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Superior soundproofing is another bonus of the ICF system,â&#x20AC;? Blyth continues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And if comfort is equated to peace-of-mind, why not add â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;investment securityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to the list? It is generally expected that a stronger, safer, greener home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and one that is more durable, more cost efficient, and needs less maintenance and repair â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will steadily increase in resale value.â&#x20AC;?

Who would have thought that concrete was comfortable? For example, even with less energy use, the indoor temperature is more easily controlled. In a standard wood-framed home, outside drafts often travel right through the walls, creating chilly spots in various rooms. This is eliminated in a house with a solid concrete core.

Specifically, the walls are constructed with preassembled, interlocking units so they are easily transported to any building site. Each form consists of two panels of thick foam (expanded polystyrene) connected with a patented web system. Guided by the architectural design and beauty aspects you want, the ICFs are stacked, steel reinforced, and filled with concrete until the entire building envelope is complete.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;ICFs lock together, a bit like Lego, to deliver walls that are disaster-resilient to storm winds as high as 402 kilometers per hour,â&#x20AC;? says Todd Blyth at Nudura, a leading name in this field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Compared to wood, concrete walls are more fire-resistant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a four-hour fire-protection factor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the superior insulation property of the building envelope gives homeowners up to 70 percent savings on their energy bills. This is due to vastly reduced air infiltration and to the thermal mass of the concrete, allowing energy-efficiency ratings as high as R-50, compared to an average R-20 in wood structures. You can also add optional inserts to the ICF forms to improve their efficiency even more.â&#x20AC;?

Continued from Page 5 it’s best to match the tool to the size of the job.

Many homeowners can get by with smaller, less powerful models, especially if the tiller is only necessary at the beginning of planting season.

Professional landscapers or those with large swatches of property may benefit from larger models.

Auger Augers, both mechanical and manual, are essentially large drill bits that help move materials from one location to another. Augers are typically used to cut holes in landscapes, and they are good for post-hole drilling, which is part of the process of installing deck footings, fencing posts or other structures. Augers come

in a variety of sizes, and homeowners can choose how much power they prefer. Augers can be heavy and cumbersome, and many do-ityourselfers will find that one-person augers are more than adequate for their projects.

Augers dig deep holes, so it is always smart to have the property surveyed prior to use. This way pipes, gas lines, buried electrical lines, and any other obstructions are clearly identified prior to drilling.

Cultivator Cultivators are similar to tillers in that they loosen soil. Cultivators are effective during the growth period of plants, when they can be used to aerate the soil and remove weeds. Cultivators come in hand-held versions and push models,

When using any tools around the garden, wear the proper protection. This includes devices to protect hearing when power tools are in use as well as gloves and safety goggles. Tillers, augers and cultivators have the potential to toss soil and rocks into the air, so make sure others keep their distance while work is in progress.

While many people think cultivators and tillers are the same, that is not the case. The former is less powerful and will mix the soil or stir up the top layer, while the latter can break up moderately hard ground and loosen firm soil.
