Q: How can I incorporate a TV into my living room without it becoming the fo-cal point of my decor?

A: While a 50-inch plasma TV might be some people’s favourite piece of furniture (along with a black-pleather armchair and a video-game controller), for most of us, a television is something we’d like to work more subtly in-to a room.

Especially in contempo-rary homes, where great rooms and open concepts mean activities like enter-taining, relaxing, playing and even eating often share the same space, no longer are TVs being hidden in cramped family rooms or dark basements.

“Open plans have really changed how people view

their spaces,” says Trevor Compton, sales manager at Christopher Clayton Fur-niture and Design House in Edmonton. While these multi-functional spaces are great for families, they can create conflict about how much prominence a televi-sion should have, especially among the decor-savvy.

Furniture manufacturers and home designers are in-creasingly sensitive to this tension, and are addressing it with beautiful, functional pieces specifically made for

TVs, without a boxy stand or massive entertainment unit in sight.

A lovely, 17th-century Dutch reproduction book-case has doors that fold back to reveal the cavity where the book shelves have been removed, making room for a TV. The front of the drawer beneath drops down, creat-ing space for cable boxes and other electronic compo-nents.

Furniture styles are so mixed and eclectic now, the piece would go in almost

any decor, Compton adds. “It’s not purist anymore. To-day it’s for living.”

Incorporating a TV seam-lessly into a room’s decor can be a real necessity in smaller spaces too, like a

condo, says Al Black, CEO at Christopher Clayton. “It’s becoming more and more popular, where people want to just tuck the TV away.”

A long, low, wooden or lac-quered cabinet with draw-

ers can easily accommodate a TV on top. Art programs are available to display a changing array of classic paintings on your television screen making it part of the decor.

One of the most popular reno-vation jobs is the basement. Done properly, a finished basement can add a lot more livable space to your home.

It usually becomes a place where the kids — and some-times adults — go to play. What guy doesn’t dream of having a man cave? And a finished basement can be a bonus if you ever want to sell your home.

But when it comes to finish-ing a basement the most im-portant thing is to make sure it’s properly insulated. Other-wise, you’re just going to cre-ate the perfect environment for mould and mildew. That’s not the kind of thing you want your family exposed to. Breathing in mould spores can lead to serious health prob-lems, like respiratory issues.

If you were to ask most contractors how to insulate a basement they would prob-ably tell you that only four feet below the outside grade needs to be insulated. They might think that because the temperature below the frost line stays pretty constant you have to worry only about in-sulating the top half of the basement walls.

Not only is that wrong, but it’s a sure way to have mois-ture problems down the road.

Insulating your basement does two things: It keeps the basement warm in winter and cool and dry in summer. Remember, a lot of moisture can build up in the summer because of all the heat and humidity. Your basement in-sulation controls that for you.

Basements are mostly un-derground. Because of that the temperature of the base-ment floor stays fairly con-stant. But, as you go up the walls toward the ceiling, the temperature rises. So the temperature near the ceiling

of your basement is always higher than at floor level. But this leads us to a problem.

When a basement is fin-ished but not properly insulat-ed, warm air from inside the finished space can come into contact with the foundation walls, behind the insulation.

The foundation walls are going to be cooler because of the temperature of the soil on the other side. Warm air holds moisture. So when the warm air comes into contact with the cold foundation walls it will start to cool. And that’s when you get condensation.

Condensation in your fin-ished basement can build up in insulation and the wood framing, and even pool on the floor behind finished walls. From there your basement can become a mould spore breeding ground — any par-ent’s nightmare.

If your basement is insulat-ed the same way as an above-grade wall — with wood studs against the wall, batt insula-tion in between and vapour barrier over that — you will have air movement, which can lead to condensation and mould problems.

Can you imagine trying to fix a mould and moisture issue after the basement is finished? There goes about $20,000, plus the cost of fixing and replacing everything.

Unfortunately, too many people don’t have to imagine a situation like that. They’re living with it.

Ideally you want to have rigid foam insulation in a basement against all the out-side walls and the floor — a minimum of two inches on the walls and one inch on the floor.

All rigid foam insulation is mould and mildew resistant. It won’t hold moisture, even if you had a flood in your base-ment. Another great thing about rigid foam is that it comes shiplapped, like tongue and groove, so each piece fits tightly against the next with-out any gaps.

Make sure your contractor uses an adhesive that is rated for foam when they’re glueing the foam to your basement walls and floor. If it isn’t it

can ruin your insulation. Ask them what glue they’re

going to use and then do your homework. Also check if they’re tuck-taping each seam and using spray foam to fill any gaps around the edges. That’s why it’s important to be around during a renova-tion, and not just see the fin-ished product at the end. Once the walls are up anything can be behind them.

Insulating the basement this way creates a thermal break between the air inside your basement and the air outside. It gets rid of any air movement behind the walls, which we know leads to con-densation. It’s like a beer cooler, which has rigid foam insulation too.

After the rigid foam is on

the floor and walls it can be studded over. I would go with a treated lumber — like PinkWood — that’s mould, moisture, termite and fire resistant. I’d also use mould-resistant drywall.

Before you hire someone to finish your basement it’s im-portant to educate yourself. Not to learn how to do it your-self, but to know what’s the right way to insulate a base-ment and why. That way you spend your money smart and you spend it once.

Proper insulation key to finishing a basement

F2 Saturday, Apr i l 13, 2013 Leader-Post • leaderpost.comHome s

How we as a city and a prov-ince lay the groundwork for a successful future may depend upon how we re-act to two trends that have emerged in cities across North America.

The first of these trends is the increasing erosion of affordability in housing that continues to threaten the possibility of maintaining a middle class lifestyle.

The second is the trend by many municipalities to increase the regulatory en-vironment around land use for residential development through Official Community Plans. When housing mar-kets are active and our in-dustry is trying to increase

the supply of housing and housing choices to its grow-ing citizenship, this is when regulations from Official Community Plans tend to be the most restrictive.

In weak housing markets, municipalities often exer-cise more relaxation in their long term plans, to encour-age more development.

At the beginning of this century, many new Official Community Plans in North America were applauded by high density neighbourhood enthusiasts for their urban containment strategies, sug-gesting we cannot grow out anymore, we must grow up.

Their implication is that high-density housing cre-ates affordable housing and affordable housing can only be achieved through this means. The fact is, however, that not all high-density housing is affordable to low-income or average-income families. When you consider the cost per square foot of a

home, high-density housing in just about all Canadian cities is much more expen-sive in downtown neigh-bourhoods than in new Greenfield neighbourhoods.

When cities add strategies through their Official Com-munity Plans to change that formula, the result in most cases, is that the gap grows even more.

Consumers will continue to create demand for single-fam-ily homes, detached homes and more multi-unit homes. Add to that an aging popula-tion and demand is building for even more flexibility in housing choices, especially around concepts of universal and barrier free designs.

We also know that com-pact and highly livable urban centres, as well as the impor-tance of infill development will continue to be a critical part of the urban landscape.

In addition, the home ren-ovation market will remain important as our housing

stock ages and homeowners demand more efficiency and comfort from their homes.

That is why Official Com-munity Plans must be com-posed in a way that creates balance and flexibility in land policy allowing for the creation of natural densifica-tion over time.

Flexibility that allows the market to respond to what in-dividual home buyers want is critically important.

Even though it takes time to design new community projects, get the infrastruc-ture in place now to provide services to that new neigh-bourhood and get those new homes built for that grow-ing community. Our indus-try is skilled at making the adjustments that the market requires and goes to great lengths to deliver on the op-portunities in front of us.

As the City of Regina works toward completing the Official Community Plan, my hope is it does not

run into the same pitfalls that have occurred in many cities across North America when those plans are com-plete.

When Official Community Plans are in the formulation stage, a lot of citizen engage-ment and collaboration with industry occurs. However, once in place, it is not un-common for Official Commu-nity Plans to become highly inflexible. The plan creates a form, which acts like a glove into which the city must fit its future hand.

In reality, cities are living, dynamic places. In some cities where the Official Community Plan becomes too rigid, future citizens are forced to submit to the plan’s vision or they chafe at its restrictions. As much as Official Community Plans can attempt to take all pos-sibilities into account, creat-ing ‘perfect’ rules by which the city can grow, with the hope that this will create

clear and orderly growth, in reality, the future is notori-ously difficult to predict.

For that reason, the Offi-cial Community Plan must not be static. It must be dy-namic enough, so that those who deliver on the success of the Plan, and the citizens who make decisions on what neighbourhood and housing forms best suit their lifestyle and investment choices, have the ability to exercise their choice.

As the City of Regina works to complete the Offi-cial Community Plan, let’s ensure it has enough flexibil-ity for future citizens to have input into the types of plac-es where they will live and work, and that those places are not determined solely by the ideology of those who get to decide today.

Perhaps thanks to a tight housing market, more and more adult children are welcoming their aging parents into their

homes. Such living situations have led to a growth in what are commonly known as in-law suites.

In-law suites are often created by converting a room in the house, such as the basement or even a garage, into a livable suite. Such suites can benefit elderly relatives who might have been dealt an unforeseen financial blow. But in-law suites can also benefit younger homeowners who want to see their parents more. In addition, when older men and women move in with their adult children, they can often spend some caring for the grandchildren, providing a relief from daycare.

But before building an in-law suite in their home, homeowners might want to heed the following tips.

• Be certain it is legal. Making changes to your home will likely require a permit,

particularly if your in-law suite will be an entirely new addition to your property and not just a strict room remodel. Contact your local zoning board to ensure the project is within your rights as a homeowner.

• Consider the health of your parents when making plans. Many in-law suites are occupied by aging relatives who might not be able to get up and down stairs as easily as they used to. That makes accessibility of the suite a top priority. Typically, it’s best to locate in-law suites on the main floor, so relatives won’t find it difficult to get in and out of the suite.

• Don’t overlook privacy. Just because your parents or in-laws will be moving in doesn’t mean they don’t still value their privacy. Chances are,

your relatives will initially feel as though they are invading your space and your privacy, so be sure the suite affords

adequate privacy to all members of the household. It might be best

to build the suite so it has its own separate entrance from the rest of the home. The suite should also have its own full bathroom and, if possible, its own kitchen area so your parents

can cook for themselves and entertain their own

guests without feeling like a burden. A second kitchen is also

something to discuss with a zoning board, as some locales prohibit having two complete kitchens in a single residence.

• Tailor certain amenities to the elderly. If your parents are older, install safety items, such as grab bars in the shower and bathroom, during the initial construction so

you won’t have to make changes down the road. Install easy-open drawers and make sure the suite has ample lighting.

• Remember to install safety features like fire, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure the alarms on all of these detectors are loud enough so that elderly men and women who have hearing loss can hear them without issue. Make sure all walkways leading to the in-law suite have motion-detecting lamps at night to reduce risk of falling. Also, if the suite will be a separate building from your house, install an intercom system that connects with the main house so your relatives can easily reach you in case of emergency.In-law suites are becoming more popular

as a greater number of older adults are moving in with their adult children. Such suites can bring families closer together and prove beneficial for all parties involved.

“There are so many advantages to buying a newly built home,” said Stu Niebergall, President & CEO of the

Regina & Region Home Builders’ Association (RRHBA), “with the opportunity to customize your home to your own personal taste and lifestyle topping the list.” First, you can choose your builder and then have your home constructed and finished to your exact specifications.

Niebergall explained that you can work closely with your builder to choose from an incredible selection of new home plans. Then, when it comes to features and finishes, new home builders offer a wide range of

options — from paint colour to countertops, from flooring to faucets, and from kitchen cabinets to lighting. Many builders offer a full range of product upgrades as well as unique features that will add value, enjoyment and convenience to your home, from sunrooms, to built-in wine racks, to luxury shower stalls. The latest features and finishing products will spell great looks and superior performance for your new home.

There are many other advantages to going with a newly built home. “The new homes of today feature great designs — they combine function and style, with open, inviting living areas, efficient use of space, lots of light,

well-planned kitchens and work spaces, plenty of storage, and built-in convenience and flexibility,” said Niebergall.

In addition, new homes are built with the most advanced building products. From construction materials to heating systems, the technology built into every new home ensures high-performance, durability and long-term satisfaction.

Thanks to advanced construction, higher levels of insulation, more efficient heating and cooling systems, and more efficient windows and doors, new homes are also highly energy efficient. “You not only save money on your energy bills, you also participate in reducing your environmental footprint, and enjoy a far more comfortable home,” said Niebergall.

New homes are designed to give you and your family the best possible indoor living environment with clean air, a comfortable moisture level and no mould or lingering odours. New homes are designed to prevent back-drafting of potentially harmful combustion gasses from heating systems and to ensure an adequate supply of fresh air.

A newly built home is also constructed to modern construction standards using the latest building codes, providing a wide range of safety measures to protect you and your family. With a new home, you know how the house was built and what went into it — both what you can see and what is behind the walls. And, you have the reassurance that the electrical work behind the walls is brand new with the service sized to your home’s requirements. “Another advantage of a new home,” said Niebergall, “is plenty of electrical outlets!”

Going with a newly built home also offers the unique possibility of having your new home pre-wired for today’s and tomorrow’s technology. Most builders include basic telephone and cable pre-wiring in their standard specs,

and some offer a home automation package that lets you add a wealth of functions, from front-door surveillance to remote temperature control.

One of the great advantages of building a new home is that often a warranty comes with it. Niebergall explained that professional builders stand behind their work with an after-sales service program and a guaranteed third party warranty. To choose a qualified builder who will stand behind their work with quality and professionalism, you can turn to the Regina & Region Home Builders’ Association. “Builder members of the Association are qualified through the Certified Professional Home Builder Program and they must be members of a third party new home warranty program, which provides protection to the consumer,” said Niebergall.

Members of the RRHBA also have access to a wealth of research and information, keeping them up to date on technological advances, regulations, products and materials, financing and design. “As such,” said Niebergall, “they have the know-how to provide you with the latest and the best in the market place.”

Building a new home takes teamwork and the expertise and cooperation of many suppliers and trades. Members of the RRHBA have access to a network of professional companies and individuals providing service to the residential construction industry.

If you are looking for a new home builder, start your search with www.reginahomebuilders.com and click on the New Home Locator to view the latest in show homes and new home inventory. In the end, the quality of your new home, depends on the quality of your builder.

Advantages of buying a newly built home

When people think of outdoor storage, they generally envision garden sheds to house their lawn and garden equipment and tools. However, if space doesn’t allow for a large shed, there is no need to fret, because there are other storage possibilities. Consider a garden ottoman or bench, for example. This structure can be built from wood and then painted or covered in padded fabric. Store small items inside the ottoman, which can also serve as a table or additional seating. In addition to an ottoman, a garden tool that can keep shovels and rakes organized. Homeowners with a deck can construct lidded deck boxes to store patio cushions or any other outdoor equipment. Utilizing the space under the deck is another idea. Cover the perimeter of the bottom of the deck with lattice and install one piece on a hinge to serve as a door. Store equipment underneath and out of sight. It also will be protected from the elements.

New HomesmoNTHNTHNTHNTHNTH

By Dan Rafter CTW Features

smaller is better. That’s how sustainability and design experts seem to see it nowadays. “When you have

less space, you tend to have less stuff,” said Sarah Susanka, author of The Not So Big House series (Taunton Books) and well-known advocate for small houses.

There’s a green element to this small living, too. “You are heating and cooling less square footage. There is a compactness to the way you are living that is more sustainable,” she said.

Freelance writer Mimi Zeiger has long been a proponent of simple living. Zeiger has written extensively on small homes, most recently in Micro Green (Rizzoli, 2011), which extols the virtues of small living. Besides being green, small homes force residents to be better organized. Living small means not collecting too much stuff.

Zeiger had the chance to put her small-

living skills to the test early in 2012 when she moved to a 600-square-foot, one-bedroom unit in Los Angeles.

“I opened up a box, and I swear I had gotten rid of everything inside it before I left New York,” Zeiger said. “It was a box of random items that I thought I had already donated. There’s a pair of shoes that I only wear once a year. There’s a tote bag from a party I attended. These are random things that fall into your life.”

Karen Lee, editor of the “Green Living Ideas” website and another fan of small homes, said that living small has forced her and her family to simplify their lives. Lee will donate books that she’s read instead of stacking them on shelves, and doesn’t collect souvenirs from family vacations. She’ll pass on the latest gadgets and kitchen appliances if she knows that she has nowhere to store these items.

“I have a husband who likes to throw things out before asking,” Lee said. “The kids

don’t want to throw anything out. So we live a constant balancing act.”

While many of the homes featured in small-living books are custom-built for unique situations, anyone can turn a small apartment or house into a versatile and comfortable space.

Susanka is a fan of built-in furniture. For instance, she’ll transform a windowed wall by building storage closets on either side of a window, then installing a window seat with its own storage in between. This creates plenty of storage space without significantly shrinking a room.

“You can’t ever tell that the room has gotten smaller,” she said. “You may have eliminated 10 inches from a room. Your eye barely notices that.”

Staying organized also makes spaces more flexible. In Zeiger’s Brooklyn studio apartment, her office desk doubled as a dining table when guests arrived by simply clearing away her laptop and papers.

Zeiger also said that walls make small living more difficult. Instead, she uses benches or tables as room dividers to turn one living space into two, creating the illusion of more area. A well-placed area rug can perform the same trick, Zeiger said.

But no matter what tricks homeowners take, having the will to part with even cherished items remains the key to living in a small house.

Susanka gives the example of a family that has long kept grandma’s dining room table, even though it takes up an entire room of the house and the family rarely uses it. Susanka recommends holding a final, formal family dinner at the table and then donating the piece.

“Think of it as a rite of passage,” Susanka said. “Letting go is so important. By having a sort of formal goodbye for a piece of furniture, it makes letting it go that much easier.”

Leanne Brownofffor Postmedia news

Q: We are selecting wall tiles for our new home and need some guidance. I tend to gravitate toward bold, rustic styles and am not sure if that will be over-whelming for the kitchen and bathrooms. Although I like the look of a tranquil spa bathroom, I wonder if it would be out of place in our rustic country home. Does the bathroom style need to match the rest of the home?

A: Wall tiles are major components to the style of a room. They are perfect barriers for moisture-rich environments, generally outlast any other interior surface coverings in terms of their performance, and they come in a plethora of styles, colours, sizes and de-signs.

I tend to think of walls as having a “supporting role” in a room, both literally and figuratively. They are not intended to overshadow the rest of the room, nor does

the room benefit if they are insipid.

Using nature as the com-mon theme would tie to-gether your love of both rustic and tranquil spaces. Kitchen tiles that present as a mosaic can enhance the country theme while balanc-ing the rustic environment.

Within this style, sub-themes can emerge, from traditional rustic — with a country or Old World fla-vour — to modern, inspired by natural textures and hues.

Mosaic tiles create a hot feature in stylish country kitchens and baths. Origi-nally, mosaics were used to tell stories and were ex-tremely labour intensive to create. New techniques capture such stories in tile formats, maintaining the artisan effect while mini-mizing the labour and main-tenance.

For a traditional coun-try kitchen, also consider hand-painted tiles depict-ing French country images. This style provides a beauti-ful balance to accompany-

ing rustic wood and stone finishes.

If you embrace a mod-ern or contemporary rustic style, consider the effect of natural rock tiles, which come in a variety of tones, from blue-grey quartz to coral sandstone. Each tile is as unique as the mountain or quarry it came from, cre-ating a subtle yet richly lay-ered ambience. Rock tiles harmonize beautifully with other natural elements and can be an effective way to link both kitchen and bath styles.

Regardless of what look you choose, ensure you have considered the main-tenance requirements. The smoother the tile surface, the easier it is to clean. If you choose the rustic natu-ral rock for your bathroom, select a complementary tile for the bath and shower sur-round for easy cleaning as well as a non-slip stone floor for safety.

Seth BorenSteinTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — China, the world’s largest producer of car-bon dioxide, is directly feeling the man-made heat of global warm-ing, Canadian and Chinese scien-tists conclude in the first study to link the burning of fossil fuels to one country’s rise in its daily tem-perature spikes.

China emits more of the green-house gas than the next two big-gest carbon polluters — the United States and India — combined. And its emissions keep soaring by about 10 per cent per year.

While other studies have linked averaged-out temperature increas-es in China and other countries to greenhouse gases, this research is the first to link the daily hottest and coldest readings, or spikes.

Those spikes, which often oc-cur in late afternoon and the early morning, are what scientists say most affect people’s health, plants and animals. The study by Chinese and Canadian researchers found that just because of greenhouse gases, daytime highs rose 0.9 de-gree C in the 46 years up to 2007. At night it was even worse: Because of greenhouse gases, the daily lows went up about 1.7 degrees C.

The study appeared online in late March in the peer-reviewed journal Geophysical Research Letters.

MeLBOURNe — A brambling from Beijing, a wild bird from Korea and a duck from China’s Zhejiang prov-ince probably helped spawn the new flu variant that’s killed 11 people, a study in the New england Journal of Medicine found.

The birds were infected with avian flu strains that most resemble the H7N9 virus circulating in east-ern China, according to this week’s study by researchers at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Pre-vention in Beijing and Fudan Uni-versity in Shanghai.

As of Friday, 29 other people had also been infected with H7N9 flu, which the authors said causes brain damage and organ failure in its most extreme form.

The coming weeks will reveal whether the disease pattern reflects a widespread outbreak in birds, whether an H7N9 pandemic is be-ginning, or something in between, Uyeki and Cox said.

Deadly flu traced to specific birds

WASHINGTON — Just off the Ko-rean Peninsula, the United States this week deployed a missile-track-ing system that looks like a giant golf ball resting atop an oil plat-form. Towed from the navy yards in Hawaii, the Sea-Based-X Radar communicates missile trajectories to interceptors.

North Korea’s recent volley of nu-clear threats has stunned American officials. It has officials scrambling to reposition defence shields just in case the North Koreans are actually serious, which few people believe is the case, but you never know. The threats have been that shrill.

Last week the hermit state led by its boy dictator Kim Jong Un moved a Musudan rocket, with an estimat-ed range of about 4,000 kilometres, to the east coast. The U.S. believes it is now fuelled and ready for a test run expected on Monday, the 101st birthday celebrations of North Ko-rea’s founder Kim Il-sung, grandfa-ther to Un.

The state also is expected to test the Taepondong-2 with a range of 6,000 kilometres, enough to hit Alaska.

What can be done about this her-mit state’s nuclear aspirations and its threats of war? Not much. North Korea’s regime has made its nucle-ar program its life blood since it be-gan in the late 1950s with help from the former Soviet Union.

It also has tested three nuclear de-

vices. The most recent was in Feb-ruary and caused an earthquake that registered 5.1 in magnitude.

A key uncertainty for the West is whether the north can arm a mis-sile with a nuclear warhead.

“They have nuclear devices that they can detonate for a test, but they haven’t been able to master the very sophisticated technological process of miniaturizing a device to sit on a warhead,” Terence Roehrig, said professor of national security affairs and the director of the Asia-Pacific studies group at U.S. Navy War College in Newport, R.I.

Others aren’t too sure. even the U.S. Defence Department appears divided on this vital issue. In 2005,

it’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) told Congress that North Ko-rea could arm a missile, but then backtracked.

This week a congressman read into the congressional record the following statement from a DIA re-port that has yet to be made public: “DIA assesses with moderate confi-dence the north currently has nu-clear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles, however, the reliability will be low.”

experts, however, agree that what-ever the status of North Korea’s nuclear program, it fully intends to continue to develop a nuclear capa-bility that will allow it to strike the “imperialist” United States.

North Korea’s nuclear program be-gan in the late 1950s when the Sovi-et Union helped the country start a nuclear research program. Follow-ing is a chronology of North Ko-rea’s nuclear development based on a report from the U.S. Congres-sional Research Service:
