Did you know?

(MS) Grilling presents a convenient and tasty way to prepare food. Cooking outdoors is a summertime staple, with some people firing up their grills multiple times a week. To ensure the grill continues to deliver top-notch fare, it is important to keep a clean grill.

Cleaning can prolong the lifespan of a grill while also ensuring food is safe to eat.

Sauk Valley Media • C3

Sauk Valley

The grill grates should be brushed down after each and every usage to dislodge any remnants. Remove the burner protectors on a gas grill and scrub them down to remove caked-on grease and other food deposits, wiping any grime from the burners as well. Keep an eye out on how much debris is in the bottom of the grill. Scrape and scoop out any ash and food that has fallen through the grates. Wash down and rinse off any grease.

Color a new home décor with a fresh coat of paint (MS) Today’s paint products offer homeowners the flexibility to easily change the look and “feel” of a room — or a houseful of rooms, including walls, cabinets, furniture, accessories and trim items — by changing the color of a painted surface or adding paint to achieve a decorative effect.

Woodcraft has all the paints and related accessories and supplies to “recolor” your home. Woodcraft introduced Black Dog Salvage Furniture Paint to its line of fine finishes in spring of 2016, giving customers a product developed specifically for use with furniture Black Dog Salvage Patinio Greenio Furniture Paint gives new character to this hall tree bench. that is custom-built in the Black Dog Salvage shop, as well as accessories that might once have been part of an historic structure. Using Black Dog, a pure black, and Clean Canvas, a pure white, homeowners can create an unlimited number of shades that can be mixed using 13 additional colors with whimsical names like Caution: Dogs at Work (orange). The water-based ultra matte chalky finish interior paint is easy to use, selfleveling and low-VOC, and it covers in one coat. It can be used on finished and unfinished surfaces like furniture, woodwork, metal, glass and more and does not require priming. The companion Black Dog Salvage Guard Dog Topcoat Paint Protector is tough enough for floors and can be used for all types of indoor projects, such as cabinets, countertops, furniture, and decorative items.

Additional paint options General Finishes Milk Paint is a high-tech, water-based acrylic paint for interior and exterior use that is available in more than two dozen colors, ranging from Dark Chocolate to Tuscan Red. It is easy to apply, durable and simple to repair and can be mixed to create new colors or combined with General Finishes water-based glazes and stains to create custom paints and decorative effects such as distressing, antiquing and color washing.

Rust-Oleum® Chalked Paint is a water-based, ultramatte finish for interior applications that can be used alone as a simple covering paint or to achieve decorative effects such as distressing or dry brushing to give any project a one-of-a-kind look with a vintage feel. It applies easily with brush or roller; spraying is not recommended.

If using an interior paint for exterior projects such as doors, shutters, or porches, an exterior topcoat will need to be added for protection from the elements.

General Finishes Exterior 450 is fortified with UV absorbers to minimize fading and built-in mildewcides to help retard the growth of mold and fungus. Plus, Exterior 450 is fast, as it’s ready to sand in just one hour in ideal conditions.

CrystaLac Exterior Finish is a water-based, flexible, UV-stabilized, waterproof, clear topcoat for exterior furniture, doors and crafts. For best results, apply when temperature is between 60°F and 80°F. This paint dries to the touch in about 15 minutes, but wait two to four hours to recoat.

Handy helpers for painting • Wagner Home Décor Paint Sprayer. This is a great first-step product for those new to HVLP spraying. It is easy to use and sprays milk paint, stains, sealers and lacquers. Check your paint manufacturer’s directions for use in sprayers.

4 ways to reduce your carbon footprint

www.CrawfordRealtyOnline.com

(MS)

815-285-3444, 124 E. Boyd Street, Dixon

LLC

Taking care of the planet by reducing carbon footprints is the responsibility of all global citizens. A carbon footprint is defined as the total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activity. Your carbon footprint is the sum of all emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide), which were induced by your activities in a given time frame — typically a year. Individuals who take steps to reduce their carbon footprints can have a dramatic impact on their own lives and the lives of those who come after them.

Nice ranch home between Dixon and Sterling on large lot. Home has two bedrooms, one car attached garage, full basement plus walk up attic. Nice three season/mud room.

Installing solar panels on homes is one way for homeowners to reduce their carbon footprints.

1. Make changes to transportation. Transportation accounts for almost half of all air pollution and more than one-third of greenhouse gas emissions, says the David Suzuki Foundation, a Canadian conservation group. Walking, biking or taking mass transit to get around can reduce your carbon footprint. If you must drive, stick to the speed limit, accelerating and stopping smoothly. Also, maintain your vehicle so it operates as efficiently as possible.

3. Consider solar power. Solar panels installed on the roof of your home can reduce your reliance on electricity and natural gas. Solar companies may offer financing options to minimize upfront costs. Some states have a “net metering” law, which may enable you to eliminate your electricity bill or even earn money by selling electricity back to the grid.

2. Opt out of junk mail. CarbonFund.org says the energy used to produce, deliver and dispose of junk mail produces more greenhouse gas emissions than 2.8 million cars combined. Choose email options for marketing information and bills and ask companies to reduce the amount of paper correspondence they distribute. The organization 41Pounds.org will contact direct-mail companies for you and eliminate unnecessary junk mail for a nominal fee.
