Q&A

LEONARD REAL ESTATE

Flushing out plumbing woes

BY ALAN J. HEAVENS -#4 .EWS 3ERVICE

Q: My brother renovated my second-floor bathroom, which included a new tub, faucets, shower, and a diverter. Now, every time I do a load of wash, when the first-floor washer is filling up, a lot of water comes out of my shower faucet.

A: I am assuming your brother is not a professional plumber, just a nice guy who was trying to help his sister and save her the services, and thus the expense, of a professional. But you may well need a plumber to unravel this mess.

I am not a plumber. Still, I’ve talked to enough of them over the years to have a couple ideas you should have followed up on, at least.

If water were coming up through the shower drain as the washer drained, the cause might be a partial clog in the house’s main drain. Wastewater, in this case, would be getting forced back into the shower area by the blockage.

Your problem is not wastewater backup, but some sort of crossed supply-line connection that carries water to both shower and washer, instead of one at a time.

4HURSDAY *UNE

: 5RXWH ‡ 5RFN )DOOV ,/

Have your brother check the supply-line connections first. Then call a plumber.

W * NE 7,1 6 /,

Q: Our bathroom sink has a sewerlike odor coming out of it. The only things that go down the drain are soap, water, shaving cream, beard from shaving, toothpaste, and a small amount of hair.

I removed the drain pipe, and there is a black, slimy, gelatinous substance coating the inside of the pipe. It wasn’t enough to clog the pipe, but that is the substance that’s smelling.

What is the black stuff, and how do we get rid of it and the smell?

A: That odor is from exactly what you have been sending down the sink, adhered to the trap by the grease created by soap and skin oil.

It happens to everyone, and to every sink. Some people pour a mixture of baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice into the drain to clear that decomposing mess from the inside of the pipe and make it smell fresh.

You might want to periodically clear the hair and soap that sticks to it out of the drain to reduce the opportunity for goo to build up.

Restoring clarity

BY MARY BETH BRECKENRIDGE -#4 .EWS 3ERVICE

Foggy windows can be cleared or replaced

AKRON, Ohio â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Marie Poling thought she was looking at an expense of thousands of dollars to replace all the windows on her Northfield Center Township, Ohio, house.

The insulated glass in the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bay window had gotten foggy, and she figured her only option was new windows.

Then she found out about a process that removes the moisture from inside thermal pane windows. So for a few hundred dollars, she has a clear view once again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was cheaper, much easier, and very fast,â&#x20AC;? Poling said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was awesome.â&#x20AC;?

Polingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bay window had experienced a failure of the seals in its insulated glass units, a common malady of thermal-pane windows.

Those types of windows are made by sealing air inside two layers of glass. Over time, expansion and contraction cause the seal to weaken and eventually fail, allowing water vapor inside. When that vapor condenses on cold glass, it creates a foggy appearance.

But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean a homeowner has to replace the window to get rid of the cloudiness. Two methods are available to deal with the problem: removing the glass and replacing it with a new, factory-sealed unit, or drilling into the window to remove the moisture.

Both give you back a clear window, but the first method also restores the windowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original insulating value. The second restores only the clarity, but at a lower cost.

MCT News Service

Chad Bradley, the owner of Glass Guru of Macedonia, sprays a drying agent between panes of a thermalpane window as part of a process to remove moisture from a thermal window in Medina, Ohio.

Poling chose the moisture-removal option. She hired the Glass Guru of Macedonia, the Northeast Ohio franchise of a California-based company, to defog her windows earlier.

The Glass Guruâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s process involves drilling tiny holes

in the glass, removing the stains and moisture, and then plugging the holes with clear plastic vents. The process can be streamlined for windows without stains, because cleaning isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t required, said Chad Bradley, who owns the Macedonia franchise.

While the method wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t restore all of a windowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original insulating value, Bradley said it will reclaim some.

He said a thermal pane window with a broken seal loses about 20 percent of its insulating value. After the Glass Guru repair, the loss is reduced to about 10 percent, he said.

On a frigid day, Bradley and Josh Clarkston, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead glazier, braved 14-degree temperatures to repair a number of windows on a house in Medina, Ohio.

Clarkston used a rotary tool to drill two holes in a casement window, one in the top right corner and the other in the lower left. He continually squirted the spot he was drilling with liquid to keep it cool and prevent the glass from cracking.

Next Bradley inserted plastic tubing into both holes and pumped a cleaning solution into the top hole to remove the water stains, angling the spray to reach all of the windowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inside surfaces. The cleaner dripped down the glass and drained out the bottom tube into a collection tank, aided by suction from a hand pump.

The process was repeated with a rinsing agent, which left streaks and some sudsy residue between the panes.

But when Bradley pumped an alcohol-based drying agent into the window and followed by blowing compressed air from an aerosol can into the two holes, the residue disappeared.

New refrigerator technology uses magnets, boosts efficiency

BY MARY BETH BRECKENRIDGE -#4 .EWS 3ERVICE

Your next refrigerator might not even have a compressor.

GE Appliances is developing magnetic refrigeration for residential use, a technology that needs no refrigerants or compressors and promises to increase the energy efficiency of refrigerators by 20 percent.

Magnetic refrigeration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; technically called magnetocaloric refrigeration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is not a new concept, but it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet been used in residential refrigeration. That should happen within 5 years, the company said in a news release.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how GE describes the technology: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The system uses a water-based fluid rather than a chemical refrigerant such as Freon to transfer heat from inside the refrigerator and achieve the cooling process. Instead of a compressor, magnets are used to create a magnetic field that agitates particles in the fluid causing it to cool. The strength of the magnetic fields determines how cold the fluid becomes, and in turn, how quickly it cools the refrigerator.â&#x20AC;?

The lack of refrigerant also will make recycling used refrigerators easier and cheaper, noted Venkat Venkatakrishnan, GE Appliancesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; director of advanced technologies.

What is LEED? (MS) Embracing an eco-friendly lifestyle is more than just recycling cans and newspapers or campaigning for endangered species. Smart environmental living also extends to our homes and offices. In recognition of that, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design system, often referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;LEED,â&#x20AC;? was established to exemplify green building, maintenance and operation in offices, homes and neighborhoods.

LEED is essentially a rating system for the building and maintenance industry. Established by the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED has become an internationally recognized mark of excellence. According to the USGBC, LEED provides building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations, and maintenance solutions. Since the system was created in 1998, LEED ratings standards have been applied to more than 7,000 projects in the United States, as well as 30 additional countries, and more than a billion square feet of developed area has been LEED classified.

Various parameters must be met before a building can receive LEED certification. LEED requires a set of prerequisites and credits.

Prerequisites include required elements or strategies that must be included in all LEEDcertified projects. Credits are extra incentives that can be included in projects to work toward LEED certification. The ratings system generally uses a numeric scale of 110 points for buildings, while LEED for Homes has a scale based on 131 points. Credits are allocated based on the environmental impacts and human benefits of the buildings and operations. Projects can receive basic certification between 40 to 49 points, and Platinum status is reached at 80-plus points. LEED v4 is the next incarnation of the rating system and will focus even more on increasing the lengths to which projects go to employ green goals.

Building and maintenance projects can apply for LEED certification, which means they met certain standards for environmental sustainability.

www.CrawfordRealtyOnline.com 815-285-3444, 124 E. Boyd Street, Dixon MLS#123105

While the rating system was developed through an open, consensus-based process that involved USGBC volunteers and working groups, third parties are responsible for verifying that a building, home or community was created using strategies aimed at high performance in environmental health. These include, but are not limited to, water savings, energy efficiency, sustainable site development, and indoor environmental quality. USGBC says LEED is flexible enough to apply to all project types.

LEED is also internationally known and accepted, and in 2003 the Canada Green Building Council received permission to create LEED Canada-NC v1.0.

Cleaning and stain removal tips (MC) Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carpeting, clothing or upholstery, a new fabric can be ruined at the arrival of that first stain. Spills and spots can quickly mar the surface of any item, transforming a prized possession into an eyesore in a matter of seconds. But knowing how to treat a stain can save such items from the scrap heap and save their owners a substantial amount of money along the way. * Mildew: Rare is the homeowner who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t battled mildew at one point or another. Bleach and baking soda are the materials most often used to tame a mildew outbreak. Depending on the severity of the mildew, begin with one part bleach to one part water in a spray bottle.

Allow this solution to sit on the mildew and then rinse. If this does not work, mix one part bleach to three parts baking soda to form a paste.

Use an old toothbrush or scrub brush to scour the mildew, allowing the concoction to set for roughly 30 minutes before rinsing it off. If the mildew is still stubborn, increase the amount of bleach in the cleaning solution. Remember to always clean in a well-ventilated room. Diluted bleach also can remove mildew from siding or plastic patio furniture. Never mix bleach with an acid, such as ammonia or cleaning products that contain ammonia. * Red wine: Anyone who has hosted a party where adults are drinking wine knows the potential for a spill is significant. Red wine can stain quickly, so fast action is necessary to prevent wine spills from causing permanent damage. Use cold water to flush out the stain as much as possible. When cleaning spills on clothing, flush the red wine from the back of stain or the underside of the fabric. This is not often possible when cleaning spills on carpets and upholstery, so in such instances blot the stain with a clean cloth, such as a white rag, that will not transfer any additional coloring to the stain. Sprinkle table salt on the wine stain and allow it to sit for two to three minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cold water while blotting up the excess. Continue to rinse until the stain has dissipated. *Oily stains: Oil and water do not mix, so using water to try to treat an oil-based stain will only exacerbate the problem. The first step to cleaning oil-based stains is to use something absorbent, such as corn starch or talcum powder, on the stain and blot with a cloth. This will help draw some of the oil out of the fabric. Lay paper towels down on a table and place the stained clothing face-down on the towels. Use a dry cleaning solvent on the back of the stain and push down to blot out the oily residue onto the paper towels.

Repeat the process until the oil is removed.

Apply a laundry pretreatment product or even plain laundry detergent to the stain. Wash in the hottest water that is safe for the fabric and allow the item to air dry. * Pet stains: As young puppies learn to house train, they can leave messes indoors, while cats may soil areas of the home if they are scared or finicky. Pet stains should be treated thoroughly because not only do they look unsightly, but they can begin to smell as well. Leaving odor behind may encourage the pet to urinate in the same area over and over. Plain, white vinegar is a good tool for pet stains. Blot up as much of the urine as possible. Use a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water on the stain. Spray it onto the soiled spot. Blot up the remainder with a dry, clean cloth. Repeat as necessary. To remove any residual odor, sprinkle baking soda on the spot after it has dried. Let the baking soda sit for up to a day. Then vacuum up the powder.

When stains occur, avoid rubbing or pushing the stain further into the fabric. Work from the outside in when blotting to contain the stain as much as possible.

Factor in ergonomics Failure to work in comfortable conditions can result in repetition injuries or muscle strain. Make the workshop as comfortable as possible. Ensure the work table is at the right height. Use a rubber mat on the floor to reduce standing fatigue. Have a stool or chair available for taking breaks.

Assess physical well-being Do-it-yourselfers should never work with machinery if they are feeling sick or fatigued or while taking medication that can affect concentration or alertness.

All it takes is a moment of distraction to cause an injury.

Never surprise anyone who is working with power tools and keep unnecessary people out of the workshop, where they might chat and distract others from the tasks at hand.

XXX CJSESFBMUZTFMMT DPN

XXX CJSESFBMUZTFMMT DPN

Wear safety gear Eye, ear and breathing protection are key in any workshop environment. Dust and chemical gases may be present when working with certain products, and debris can be kicked up and enter the eyes, causing irritation or even blindness. Loud power tools can damage sensitive ears, especially when used in a contained room. Always wear goggles, soundmuffling earphones and dust masks when working.

t

t

Know your tools Before novice do-it-yourselfers begin working with power tools, they should familiarize themselves with their ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; manuals and the operating instructions.

Some home-improvement retailers offer classes in various home renovation projects and may be able to teach tool usage. Do-it-yourselfers should consult professionals with regard to proper tool use and safety. Do not use tools for purposes other than what the tool was intended to do. If machine guards are provided, they should be used and never removed.

Safety is vital in any workshop. During a typical home renovation, homeowners will use all sorts of dangerous tools and chemicals, and even the simplest mishap can result in a serious injury. Following safety rules can reduce the risk of injury.
