Once you've created a magical backyard space, you'll want to take the necessary precautions to safeguard your belongings.

Make sure your garden tools and supplies are in a locked shed—away from kids, pets, and burglars. Take time to assess the backyard for any security breaches. This will keep your family safe and protect your backyard, patio, and deck from major damage.

Home Security.

Security Systems & Tips to help keep you and your home safe.

Home security is something that affects us all and we want peace of mind knowing our home is safe when left unattended.

When we leave our home - or even when we’re at home - a home security system can help provide this peace of mind and help to keep your loved ones and your valuables safe. Aside from practicing personal security measures such as making sure the door is locked, not leaving spare keys where they are easily discovered and making sure windows are closed before leaving or going to bed at night, there are a multitude of systems that can be installed to help provide even more peace of mind to homeowners.

Installing an alarm system is what initially comes to mind when people think about security systems. These can easily be installed and are often are quite affordable and quickly alert you to suspicious activity.

Adding security cameras are also a popular way to protect one’s home. There are many different kinds on the market right now - even some that you can monitor from your smart phone! Cameras are useful because they show you what you

24

can’t always see and they’re constantly rolling. They offer a way to monitor your home when you’re not around and with today’s technology, they have become much more affordable.

Another option for added home security is to install plenty of exterior lighting around your home. This is often overlooked, but can be a huge deterrent to burglars.

There are many options for your home and budget - some lighting systems are even motion activated!

Interior lighting can also help keep your home safe. If you will be away from home until it is dark out, be sure to leave a light on to give the impression that someone is home. You can even install automated lighting systems that can be controlled from your smart phone! This is great for saving energy and perfect for when you’re away for an extended period of time.

There are a variety of systems available that can be installed to make your home safer and allow you to leave your home with confidence knowing that it is protected in your absence.

WELCOME HOME: 3 ENTRY DOOR OPTIONS

Installing a new entry door is a great way to improve the curb appeal of your home and create a warm, welcoming first impression for visitors. And while entry doors should certainly be attractive and architecturally interesting, they must also be resilient, weathertight and able to withstand exposure to the elements all year round.

If you’re interested in replacing your entryway door, you’ll first have to decide which type of door to purchase. Entry doors are readily available at home improvement centers in three different types: wood, steel and fiberglass.

All three types come in a wide range of sizes,styles and prices, so you won’t have any problem finding a door to fit into your budget and existing doorway. The more difficult decision is choosing which door type best suits your home, personal taste and lifestyle. To make that decision a bit easier, below you’ll find detailed descriptions of each door type, including benefits, drawbacks and important features to consider.

expensive than a wood veneer door, but they’re also stronger and more durable.

Homeowners love wood doors because it’s hard to beat the natural beauty and warmth of real wood. Plus, they can be painted, stained or finished with a clear topcoat. However, wood requires a certain amount of maintenance to keep a fresh, like-new appearance.

When exposed to the elements, wood can swell, shrink, crack and warp. Paint and clear topcoats will eventually blister and peel. That’s why wood doors are best suited for recessed doorway openings, where the door is protected from the weather by a large overhang or deep alcove.

If you’re planning on painting your new wood door, order it with a factory-primed finish. That’ll save you the time and trouble of priming the door before painting. Also, it’s very important that you paint the entire door: top and bottom ends, left and right edges, and front and back surfaces. That’s the very best way to seal out moisture and deter warping.

STEEL DOORS This steel entry door has a decorative glass panel and is available prefinished in six paint colors.

WOOD DOORS The natural beauty and warmth of wood is captured in this prefinished mahogany door.

Wood doors are commonly available in a variety softwood and hardwood species, including fir, pine, hemlock, mahogany, oak, cherry and walnut. Most wood doors feature frame-andpanel construction, and can be ordered with or without “lites,” or windows. Solid wood doors are constructed entirely out of solid pieces of wood. Veneered doors have a sol-id wood frame that’s covered with a wood veneer. Solid wood doors are often heavier and more

Steel doors are popular with homebuilders and homeowners alike, and it’s easy to see why: They are extremely strong and secure.

They’re durable and weather-tight, especially when fitted with magnetic weather stripping.

Generally speaking, steel doors are also the most affordable type of entry door.

Steel doors come primed ready for paint, but many home improvement centers now offer prefinished steel doors in a wide choice of factory-applied paint colors. And while most steel doors have a smooth surface, some models feature an embossed woodgrain finish.

The two main drawbacks to steel are that it dents and rusts. You can fill dents with autobody putty, but rust must be completely removed to prevent the corrosion from spreading. Scrape or sand away all the rust to expose bare steel. Then, apply a primer coat followed by two coats of paint.

FIBERGLASS-COMPOSITE DOORS Don’t be fooled by its rich cherry wood finish. This resilient door is made of fiberglass.

There’s no such thing as a maintenancefree door, but a fiberglass door comes pretty darn close. Fiberglass is extremely tough and resilient, and particularly well suited for harsh, humid climates. It’s also highly resistant to warping, splitting and cracking.

Fiberglass doors won’t dent or rot.

Most fiberglass doors have a realistic wood grain texture that can be stained to resemble a wooden door. In fact, if you like the rich look of a solid mahogany door but not the price tag, buy a fiber-glass door and apply a mahogany stain. If you’d rather paint your entry door, that’s fine, too: fiber-glass accepts paint beautifully.

The main drawback to fiberglass doors is that they’re relatively expensive. Only highend solid-hardwood doors cost more.

DOOR-BUYING TIP: SIZING MATTERS It’s easy to make mistakes when ordering new doors because of the somewhat confusing way that manufacturers specify door sizes. For example, a 36-inch door is sold as a 3-0 unit (pronounced three-oh), meaning that it’s 3 feet, 0 in. wide. A 2-8 door isn’t 28 in. wide; it’s 32 in. wide.

If you’re not paying close attention, it’s easy to order a 3-0 door for a 30-inch-wide opening, and then discover that the door is six inches too wide. Avoid these costly, time-consuming mistakes by double-checking the dimensions before ordering the door.

When shopping for entry doors, keep in mind that price is a good indicator of quality A high-quality door will cost more, but it’ll last longer, perform better and be much more energy efficient.

No matter which door you choose, make sure it suits your home’s climate. It’s also important to practice regular maintenance in order to keep your new door looking its best.

DECK MAINTENANCE Weekend DIY Deck Make-Over! many reasons to build a deck in Tyourhereyard.areBesides the added value to your

home, a deck gives you plenty of extra living space. Nothing is better than stepping outside onto a beautiful deck to enjoy a good meal, relax or entertain friends and family.

But your deck needs regular maintenance to keep it safe and looking beautiful.

Is your decking looking a little worse for wear? The Nova Scotia winters can certainly take their toll on our decks and patios.

Giving your deck a makeover is not hard though, and can be a weekend DIY project.

First you need to check the deck thoroughly to make sure it is structurally sound.

Check structural beams and joists for rot or decay and replace anything that may compromise the structural integrity of your deck. You may want to call in the professionals for this job as it requires some expertise to make sure the structure is repaired properly.

Remember, your family and loved ones will be enjoying your deck as well, so you’ll want to keep them safe.

48

Once your deck is structurally sound, there are a few things you can do to make it look fresh and new. Refinishing it can go a long way, but there are a few things that you need to do before you get out the paint brush.

It’s best to apply a deck cleaner, or even a stain stripper to your deck to remove old paint or stainer. Then, pressure wash it away and leave the deck to dry!

Next, you’ll need to fix any protruding nails or broken boards. If any nails are sticking up or protruding, you can simply hammer them down again. If there are cracked or broken boards, simply cut a new board to match and replace it. A loose railing can be very dangerous, so if it’s wobbly, be sure to drill new holes and refasten it to your deck.

Once your deck has been repaired and prepped, it’s time to refinish it with the stain or paint of your choice! Then enjoy!

7 SIGNS THAT YOUR ROOF IS IN NEED OF REPAIR Having a solid roof over our heads is something we may not always think about, but have you looked at the state of your roof lately? There are tell-tale signs that your asphalt shingle roof is in need of repair or is nearing its end.

You may not need to replace, you may just need to repair and replace a few shingles, but the following signs indicate you may need to contact a licensed roofing contractor. Your roof doesn’t need to be old to fail and it’s not always easy to detect problems until the problem comes leaking right through your ceiling.

The following are signs that your roof may need some TLC:

1 Your roof is no longer a

teenager. Typically, an asphalt shingle roof lasts between 20 and thirty years. Just because it’s getting older doesn’t mean you need to replace it, but it is best to be diligent about maintenance and know that it’s lifespan may only be another few years. If your roof has been around for 25 year - it may still have a few years left, but it’s best to pay attention for any signs or even have it assessed.

into the attic. This is a sign that your roof could have serious damage due to missing shingles and moisture problems. If you see daylight in the attic, it’s likely that you have bare spots on your roof where shingles are missing. While you’re in the attic, you should also check for signs that your roof is sagging as well as signs of moisture or mould.

If your shingles are curling at the edges or have buckled in the middle, they can easily be ripped off and leave your roof with bare spots.

Damaged shingles makes your roof more susceptible to wind damage that can

Some shingles are cracked. If you have cracked shingles, your roof is vulnerable. Shingles with cracks in them make your roof more susceptible to water damage. If you suspect moisture problems or water entry, check your roof after a heavy rainfall.

5

Missing shingle granules. If you’re finding shingles with missing granules, or you notice large amounts of granules in your gutters, your roof may be nearing its expiration date. Missing

granules can also indicate that your eavestroughs or rain spouts are poorly placed and excess water flow on your roof may remove the granules from the shingles. And you don’t want bald shingles! Bald shingles age quicker because they’re easily affected by weather and then have the potential to become an entry point for water.

6 Your roof is sagging.

If this is something you notice when you’re in the attic, or just from the outside of your home, you should contact a professional immediately. This is a sign that the structural integrity of your rood may be compromised.

7 Damaged flashing.

Flashing is a material used for weatherproofing your roof. It’s often aluminium or galvanized steel and used around sky lights, chimneys and roof valleys to protect water from making its way through your roof.

If you notice some flashing that has lifted or is damaged, it’s a sign that your roof may be susceptible to water damage.

Transform Small Spaces into Charming Places In home listings across the country, the word small is often replaced with a far more marketable and appealing word: “charming.” But what makes a home charming compared to small? How does a homeowner transition a cramped room into a space with unique and appealing character?

Create special spaces and storage Carefully consider the functions of any space, such as TV viewing, reading or computer use, so that only the items Understanding how this space is utilized will make it easier to establish dedicated zones and supplies for each activity. Be sure to also create proper storage to manage and maintain a clutter-free home.

Make it larger with lighting Clearing a small home of its clutter will automatically make it seem larger. However, the illusion of more space can also be enhanced with proper lighting. The right lighting will also play a big role in helping create a more charming feel.

Recessed lighting is visually appealing and perfect for small spaces. You can also affect a room’s lighting with low-cost or no-cost solutions that make the most of the space’s built-in features. For example, highlight windows point.

Add charming details Woodwork is another simple embellishment that adds instant character and charm without affecting usable space. A chair rail, crown molding or even baseboards can help take a standard room and outline it with interesting architectural elements.

54

By managing clutter, using lighting to create bright and airy spaces and incorporating simple architectural elements, you can easily transform a cramped area into a charming and inviting room that you – or a potential buyer – can enjoy.

The Psychology Behind Paint Colors You look around your home and decide you need a refreshing change. Painting any room in the home is a sure fire way to make it feel new and clean! Before you run to the hardware store and grab the first color that tickles your fancy, put some thought into the color - and some emotion, too. As a matter of fact, proponents of what is referred to as “color psychology” believe that the color of a room in the home is more than just a way to tie in the throw pillows. It’s a matter of emotional well-being. So what’s the right hue for you?

CONSIDER THE ROOM’S PURPOSE The intended function of a room is a heavy deciding factor on which colors to use. Ask yourself, “What mood do we want this color to set?” Rooms such as an industrious kitchen, well-treaded dining room, or a bustling living room could go in a direction of colors that are thought to draw out conversation, appetites, and energy. According to WebMD.com, the color red seems to stimulate appetite and may be a good choice for a dining room or kitchen, as is yellow. Also, earth tones such as brown or tan stimulate social gatherings because they are warm and invi ting, and a great choice for a living room. Then there’s the flip side of stimulation – relaxation. For a bedroom, stick with cool tones like blues, greens, and lavenders. These are thought to reduce stress and promote sleep. Red on the wall of a child’s room could go as far as to lead to restless sleep, so sacrifice the childhood character decor in favor of a cooler hue.

DON’T LEAVE OUT LIGHTING Lighting can have a great effect on how the hue is perceived once it’s on the wall. We see several different types of lighting in a house, ranging from fluorescent, incandescent, and halogen bulbs, to natural sunlight.

Depending on the color that the light emits, the paint will either absorb or reflect the light in different ways, thus varying the paint’s shade to the human eye. A color can vary greatly in appearance in two different rooms that receive two different types of light. For this reason, it is suggested to observe the sun’s pattern and take notes before making a decision. For example, if the sunlight flows from the north, this will be a cooler tone of natural light in a room. On the other hand, if the sunlight flows into a room from the west, you could end up with an overwhelming warm tone if you’ve painted your wall red or orange.

PERSONAL STYLE MATTERS If color psychology isn’t your cup of tea, then stick with what’s pleasing to your eye.

Take your current decor into consideration.

Try to pick a color that pulls out favorite designs in your rugs or wal l decor. If you grew up with fond memories in a home with specific colors, then stick with those same colors in your home. Your experience with a color can also have an effect on your mood, so do what pleases your paint palette.

Talk to your Nova Scotia REALTOR® about the new

mortgage stress test rules In October 2017, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI) released new rules and regulations regarding the Residential Mortgage Underwriting Practices and Procedures. Changes were specifically made to the minimum qualifying rate for a mortgage also known as a mortgage “stress test”.

These changes were effective as of January 1, 2018.

A mortgage stress test’s purpose is to ensure that no matter what, a homebuyer will still be able to pay their mortgage. It looks at what the homebuyer’s current debt to income ratio is and if the homebuyer could still afford to pay their mortgage if the rates rise.

The new rules require homebuyers who are getting a high ratio mortgage (paying less than a 20% down payment) OR ( under the new stress test rules) an uninsured mortgage (a down payment of 20% or more) to qualify for the Bank of Canada’s five-year benchmark rate , which is approximately 5% OR to qualify for the contracted rate plus two percent. They must qualify for whichever rate is higher. Even if homebuyers will only be paying a rate of 2-3%, they must be able to pay their mortgage as if the rate was 5%. These new rules apply to all federally-regulated lenders, including all major banks.

SO WHAT DOES THIS NEWS MEAN FOR FIRST- TIME HOMEBUYERS? The majority of people affected by the new rules will be first time home buyers. According to Mortgage Professionals Canada, the new rules mean that the amount of a mortgage that homebuyers can afford will lessen by 20%. For first time homebuyers this will mean they may have to lower their budget, make a larger down payment to pass the test, or wait longer before buying a home in order to save more.
