How to protect your home while on vacation Important questions to ask before leaving your home for a peaceful cottage getaway The last thing you want when going away on your annual cottage get away is to worry about the safety of your home. You want to rest—and rest easy too. What you’re looking for is peace of mind that your home is as safe as it can be from burglary or other damage. There are several key steps you should take to ensure peace of mind when away from home. The following home protection checklist can help you plan important safety measures before your departure to the cottage: • Did you suspend your newspaper and mail delivery; or have a neighbour collect them for you? Does the house look lived-in? • That means having someone park their car in your driveway if you’re taking yours. You can even ask a neighbour to put a bag of garbage at your curb on garbage day. • Did you set your lights on timers, in various rooms? • With some timers, the lights go on and off at different times each day, which
means a burglar can’t pick up on a pattern. Motion sensor lights outside can also deter a burglar. Consider installing them in front and back.
• Did you ensure that all your doors and windows are locked and secure? • Don’t forget about the garage. Place a bar or stick of wood in the lower track of sliding doors or windows, to be extra safe.
• Did you turn off the water-main and unplug the major appliances as an added precaution? • Did you inform a neighbour when you’re leaving and returning, and ask them to keep an eye out for anything suspicious? • Leave your neighbhour a phone number where you can be reached, and a spare set of your keys in case of an emergency. • Did you consider a home security system? A home security system is a very effective deterrent. When looking for their targets, thieves usually select an unoccupied home with the easiest access. Why not make it difficult for them. A home protected by a home security system is three times less susceptible to a break in than one without a system. Home security system decals and yard signs are also an effective deterrent. Make sure your home security system includes a loud inside house siren, detectors at all exterior doors, and motion
sensors in the master bedroom and main living areas. The latest home automation technology in interactive home security systems can now allow monitoring of your home from a distance by wireless transmission through your smartphone. Fully interactive security systems let you arm and disarm your alarm, lock or unlock your front
door, control lights and your home’s thermostat from your cottage at the touch of your smartphone. You can even have video monitoring and be alerted to view the comings and goings of cleaning staff or house sitters on your phone, so you can enjoy your retreat without worrying about what’s going on at home.

Converting garages into livable spaces Many people decide to upgrade from their apartments or condominiums out of a need for more space. But even after moving into a new home, homeowners may soon begin to outgrow the room they have. Rather than looking for a new home, some homeowners consider expansion. Expanding a living space can be expensive, and a more affordable option may be converting existing basement or garage space into something more livable. Garages already are built on a foundation, have four walls and a roof overhead, so a garage-conversion project is merely a matter of turning this utilitarian area into a living space. Before beginning the renovation, homeowners should consider the benefits versus the cost of converting the garage. For those who are planning to grow old in a house, a garage conversion can be a worthy investment. But those who intend to sell their homes rather than retire in them may learn that a converted garage can affect home value and make it less desirable at resale. Compare your home to others in the area and see what your neighbours have done. If converted garages are the norm, your own renovation may fit in with others. Always apply for the proper permits
and learn the zoning laws to see if a garage conversion is acceptable in your town or city. It’s best to go by the book so that work can be done in a proper manner and be inspected for safety. Many homeowners hope their garage-conversion projects will make their garages seem like a seamless part of the rest of the house. To do so, you will need to remove evidence the space was once a garage. Slab floor will need to be raised and insulated. Walls also will need to be insulated and finished to improve comfort and soundproofing. Many garages do not have windows, so for the garage to function as a renovated space, windows may need to be added. One of the biggest transformations will come by way of modifying the garage door entry. Some homeowners prefer to leave the existing door so that the home still has the appearance of a garage from the curb, while others remove the garage door and rebuild the exterior wall so that it has a window or another architectural element. An architect can help suggest design elements that will camouflage the original garage look and make the space seem like it was always part of the main living area of the home. Landscaping work also can minimize
the appearance of an old garage. Rather than having the driveway end at the wall of a home, shrubbery, pavers and other techniques can blend the garage reno-
vation into the rest of the yard design. Transforming a garage into a living space can add several hundred square feet to a home. Hire a reputable con-
tractor and follow the municipal guidelines for modifying the space to ensure the job is done right.
