Build your home guided by ecoresponsibility (MS) — Improved practices in the construction industry today reflect the greening of building codes across North America. This proactivity is highlighted by advancements in window daylighting, insulation, air infiltration, and new wall-building materials.

However, many say that our eco-responsibility can do even better than this.

Why not choose methods and materials, for instance, that are even more energy efficient than the minimum demanded by building codes? If you want lowered energy consumption, more conservation and increased property value, be sure to choose a builder who has a demonstratable record in ecoresponsibility.

“A huge step forward is to replace the traditional wood framing of your house with what we call ICFs, insulated concrete forms,” says Keven Rector at Nudura, a leading name in this technology. “If, for instance, you build the envelope of your house with concrete instead of wood, the energy required to heat and cool it will be significantly reduced, a plus for the environment, and along with reduced energy bills, a plus for you.” www.birdrealtysells.com

If you want your builder to use ICFs, be sure to discuss it early in the plans.

www.birdrealtysells.com

•

“Builders receive workplace benefits too,” Rector points out. “ICF construction assures the adherence to building codes, it takes up less shipping space, requires less manpower at the site, and the assembly is faster than wood framing. Time-strapped builders and eager homeowners benefit equally from this efficiency.”

•

www.birdrealtysells.com

As importantly, he says, a home built with this concrete system is also fire resistant and sound resistant, and is far less prone to mold, cold spots and drafts.

www.birdrealtysells.com

•

“Our advanced design combines two panels of thick (EPS) foam with the structural strength and thermal mass of concrete,” Rector explains. “The resulting envelope immediately gives your house hurricane wind-resistance up to 250 miles per hour.

Concrete walls also deliver an energy efficiency rating as high as R-50 (compared to an average R-20 in wood structures), saving you up to 50 percent on utility bills. With the concrete option, countless trees remain untouched, and with lowered energy consumption and less tapping of natural resources every day, imagine over the years how much of a contribution your house will make to recapturing a sustainable environment.”

•

www.birdrealtysells.com

The compact ICFs (nudura.com) are delivered to the construction site, where each form interlocks with the next to quickly assemble one strong monolithic wall.

How to handle cramped quarters (MS) — Apartment living has its advantages.

Without a mortgage to pay, many apartment dwellers feel more free than homeowners who still have decades of payments left before they can pay off their homes. And when apartments need fixing, such responsibilities fall on the shoulders of the landlord instead of the tenants.

But apartment living has its downsides as well, most notably that apartments are often much less spacious than homes. Cramped quarters can make apartment living uncomfortable, but there are ways apartment dwellers can make even the most confined living spaces seem more roomy. • Clear the clutter. The easiest and perhaps most effective way to conquer cramped living quarters is to remove clutter and work diligently to avoid its accumulation once it’s gone. Only buy new furnishings when you need them to replace existing items, and resist the urge to treat dressers, coffee tables and dining areas as storage areas for junk you won’t use or mail you have not opened. • Purchase some multi-purpose furniture. Multipurpose furniture, such as storage ottomans or bedroom benches that include storage areas for bed linens or bath towels, can be an apartment dweller’s best friend. When buying a new bed frame, look for one that has built-in storage drawers so you have even more space to store bedding and other items.

Such pieces add both aesthetic appeal and serve practical purposes for apartment dwellers with limited closet space. • Wall-mount your television. While today’s televisions are nowhere near as bulky as their predecessors from decades past, many apartment dwellers still place their televisions atop bulky television stands. But you can create more space in your entertainment room by wall-mounting your television. Renters may be hesitant to mount their televisions for fear of losing a substantial chunk of their deposits, but the majority of today’s mounts won’t do much more harm to the walls than more traditional wall hangings. • Make use of your vertical space. Shelving units and bookcases can be great allies to apartment dwellers because these items make use of an apartment’s vertical space. Many apartment dwellers underutilize their vertical space, but items that go up instead of out can create more room in an apartment and allow homeowners to keep items they may otherwise have to discard. • Reconsider your work space. Men and women who work from home may find their work spaces take up considerable chunks of their apartments. But how many items in your work space do you still need?

Many professionals no longer print documents, so if you still have space allotted for printers you might be able to redo such areas without affecting your workday. In addition, large desks were once sought after because they made perfect homes for desktop computers. But if you now use a laptop or tablet when working from home, you likely don’t need as much desk space as you once did. Downsizing to a smaller desk and work area can open up a substantial amount of space without affecting your ability to work from home.

The following are a handful of DIY renovation projects homeowners can tackle in a typical weekend.

Closet conversion Ample closet space is a big plus for home buyers, but upon moving into a new home, many homeowners may find they don't need as much closet space as they initially thought. Guest room walk-in closets, in particular, may prove to be underutilized resources.

Such closets often come with built-in shelving, and therefore, they make ideal spaces to convert to mini home offices or study areas for kids. Installing an

Accent walls can liven up a room by breaking the color pattern of the walls in the room. Accent walls also can be used to divert attention on a particular design element in a room, such as a painting or an elaborate wall furnishing. Painting an accent wall won't take very long, but such a project can give a room an entirely new look and feel.

If the rooms and hallways in your home are bare or in need of new looks but your budget is tight, try your hand at spicing things up by creating some of your own paintings. Parents can encourage kids to create their own colorful masterpieces. Frame the finished works and hang them on the wall and enjoy your inexpensive and homemade "art gallery."

If weather permits, repaving an asphalt driveway can be an ideal weekend project, especially if an existing driveway has endured its fair share of wear and tear. Many driveways can be paved anew in a single day, but larger driveways or those that have endured an extraordinary amount of wear and tear may take a couple of days.
