The rooms are flowing, but they do have distinc- tion thanks to subtle room divisions such as bulkhead entrances and short wall ex- tensions. With high ceilings, there will be a great feeling of expansive space. What could we do to minimize the hollow, echoing sound in such a space? A: It is because sound waves bounce off hard surfaces, the best way to minimize inte- rior echoes is to include soft furnishings where possible. Also, choose building materials for the floors and ceiling that absorb sound. If you are set on having a hard floor surface, consider cork. Cork has been in the market for several years and we are seeing new and innovative designs every year. Cork is harvested with- out destroying the tree. It comes in a number of de- signer colours and depend- ing on how artistic your installer is, this is a perfect medium to create a one-of- a-kind design. From geo- metric honeycomb patterns to free-flowing waves, cork adapts to any decor. It adds both warmth and comfort, yet provides the benefit of a smooth surface associated with ease of maintenance and minimalist decor. It also dampens sound. Cork’s copious air holes and soft, pliable cellular struc- ture capture sound waves and minimize their travels. Add strategically placed carpets and runners throughout your home to further minimize the echo of footsteps. You do not have to have wall-to-wall carpets to get the sound absorption benefits, but placement in high traffic areas will defi- nitely make an impact. Next, consider installing acoustic tiles on your ceil- ing. We have come a long way from the aerated square tiles that hovered over us in grade school. Take a few moments to Google images of acoustic ceilings and you will see how beautiful and innovative this product has become. Just like the cork flooring, the acoustic tile absorbs sound. These light- weight, sculpted products can also be painted to com- plement your decor. With your floor and ceil- ing absorbing sound, the decor options open up, al- lowing you to remain true to your contemporary style. Q: We are replacing the car- pet on our stairs with wood, but want to add a carpet run- ner for safety. We have small children and two terriers that run up and down daily. The carpet we have now is a low-pile plush in a light beige tone that always seems to look dirty. What do you recommend as a long-lasting stair runner? A: Choosing the best carpet for stairs can be challeng- ing. While considering price and durability, the concern for safety always pushes to the lead. Your carpet suppli- er can show you a vast selec- tion dedicated to stairs. If your top priority is du- rability, many synthetic fi- bres have proven to be stain resistant and less likely to break down, compared to natural fibres. The shorter and denser the weave, the better the carpet performs over time. Ask to see the du- rability ratings. A tight loop or twist can be an option, but pets’ small claws can cause damage to the loops. Remember that the un- derlay or pad you choose is at least as important as the carpet itself. A pad reduces both noise and wear to the runner and the floor. In terms of colour, medi- um tones and patterns tend to camouflage daily wear, but this is only an illusion.

Q: We are waiting for the completion of our new home, which is a modern de-sign. The rooms are flowing, but they do have distinc-tion thanks to subtle room divisions such as bulkhead entrances and short wall ex-tensions. With high ceilings, there will be a great feeling of expansive space. What could we do to minimize the hollow, echoing sound in such a space?A: It is because sound waves bounce off hard surfaces, the best way to minimize inte-rior echoes is to include soft furnishings where possible.

Also, choose building materials for the floors and ceiling that absorb sound. If you are set on having a hard floor surface, consider cork. Cork has been in the market

for several years and we are seeing new and innovative designs every year.

both warmth and comfort, yet provides the benefit of a smooth surface associated with ease of maintenance and minimalist decor.

Add strategically placed c a r p e t s a n d r u n n e r s throughout your home to further minimize the echo

of footsteps. You do not have to have wall-to-wall carpets to get the sound absorption benefits, but placement in high traffic areas will defi-nitely make an impact.

Postmedia News

Zoe Brown and her two-year-old son Billie Blaze sell fresh farm eggs to Claire Dupuis in Montreal

to generate money for their solar power project.

You know that new home smell? Or the smell of a new car? A lot of us love it. But you may not like to hear that what we’re really smelling are VOCs — and they can be harmful.

VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, are chemical by-products found in many build-ing supplies and products. Treated wood, insulation, car-peting, paints and cabinets all contain VOCs that will evaporate or off-gas into your indoor air.

You can usually smell VOCs the strongest in varnishes and some paints.

They’re also in cigarette smoke, exhaust fumes, air fresheners, furnishings and plastics.

It’s almost like we’ve been programmed to like the smell of VOCs because we normally smell them when we get some-thing new, like a gadget or even a new home or reno. But VOCs have been known to cause headaches, dizziness, and can be toxic in some cases.

New homes have higher lev-els of VOCs. The same goes for renovations. VOC levels will decrease over time due to off-gassing. But how long they off-gas depends on the mate-rial.

For example, adhesives and caulking are among the worst for off-gassing and VOCs. That’s why you’re supposed to stay out of bathrooms for at least a couple of days af-ter caulking. Whereas VOCs in spray foam will be gone or non-detectable within a few days. But pressed wood cabi-nets will off-gas for weeks — sometimes even months. In fact, cabinets are huge VOC contributors.

Part of the reason is be-cause of the adhesives and var nishes some cabinets contain. These are cabinets usually made from pressed wood, particleboard or MDF (medium-density fibreboard). But a lot of it has to do with just the number of cabinets in a house.

Think about it: Most homes have cabinets in the kitchen, dining room, living room, bed-rooms and bathrooms. This will all add up and increase the amount of VOCs in the air inside your home.

Spray foam

I get a lot of questions from homeowners asking me about the off-gassing from spray foam. Spray foam is a safe product as long as it’s in-stalled properly. The standard curing time is 24 hours. The problem is when you get inex-perienced contractors install-ing it.

For example, if a job re-quires more than one applica-tion you need to wait at least two hours before applying the second coat. But some install-ers will rush a job and not wait.

When you don’t let it cure the full two hours VOCs will get trapped in between the layers and then off-gas over time — usually when people are living in the home, which is bad.

Buyer Beware

Glass, ceramic tile, metal, stone and other hard and in-ert materials don’t release any VOCs. This makes them the safer choice.

Also try and stick to hard-wood instead of vinyl floor-ing, or natural carpet instead of synthetic. If you can afford it, go for custom solid-wood cabinetry with a low or zero VOC finish.

Be careful about products that claim to have low-VOCs. A company can say a product, such as paint, has low-VOCs. But it could just mean “lower than before” or “lower than another brand.”

Homeowners need to look for Green Seal (GS) Standard products, including paints and rubbers. Green Seal means the product and/or material has been tested and meets environmental standards. It’s a better safety indicator than just “low-VOCs.”

Rubber Pavers

I recently got an email from a homeowner asking about rubber pavers and VOCs.

He wanted to know if it was safe to install rubber pavers around his home or if it had high levels of VOCs.

Rubber pavers are a type of flooring usually made from recycled rubber, like tires. They’re porous, which makes them very absorbent. So be careful about potential spills. But the amount of off-gassing from rubber pavers varies be-tween manufacturers.

Most of the VOCs in rub-ber pavers come from the ad-hesives used for installation. That’s why some manufactur-ers are producing rubber pav-ers that can be installed with-out adhesives.

The main thing to look out for is to make sure it doesn’t contain formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde

T his s trong-smel l ing , colourless gas was used in a lot of building products and materials that contained ad-hesives, such as pressed wood. There was also a specific kind of insulation that was made from formaldehyde — Urea-Formaldehyde Foam Insula-tion (UFFI).

UFFI was popular in the late ’70s. But then in 1980 it was banned because improp-er installation made it harm-ful for too many homeowners.

Moderate exposure to form-aldehyde can cause your eyes or nose to burn temporar-ily and a sore throat. Higher levels of exposure can cause asthma-like symptoms, like coughing and wheezing. But very high exposures can be toxic. It’s been known to even cause some cancers.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer classi-fies formaldehyde as a known carcinogen. Luckily, most Ca-nadian homes don’t have form-aldehyde levels that can cause cancer. Its use in building ma-terials and products has de-creased over the years as well.

But we should still be smart about the choices we make for our homes and indoor air quality.

MIKE HOLMES Make it Right

Zoe Brown, husband Drew Kiteley and their two-year old son Billie Blaze live off the grid.

TRACEy LInDEMAnPostmedia News

After nearly two lifetimes of city living, buying a cot-tage on 112 acres in the Ontario wilderness last year provided Zoe Brown and husband Drew Kiteley with a welcome change of pace.

Not only is it off the beaten path, it’s off the grid. Living four kilometres away from the nearest hydro-electric pole, the previous owner passed onto Brown and Kiteley his three gas generators — and what would soon become what Brown calls “an avalanche of situations.”

She says the insurance company decided not to re-new the cottage’s policy this past spring.

“Because we didn’t have a sustainable source of energy to power the house, they didn’t deem it insur-able,” she says.

Instead, they wanted to change the dwelling’s defi-nition from “residence” to “hunt camp,” in turn jeop-ardizing the couple’s mortgage. They were advised to install solar power, but the setup cost of $20,000 felt in-surmountable to Brown, who had just been laid off.

It began looking as though she and Kiteley would have to choose between the convenience of the city, where their kids go to school, and their love of the country. Brown was crushed.

Until she looked at her chickens. They were egg-lay-ing machines; as well, Brown and Kiteley’s garden pro-duced a more-than-generous yield last summer. And so she decided they would raise the money by trading food for donations to their solar-power project.

With little more than good intentions and an Inter-net connection, she set up a Morrigan Farms Face-book page and blog, coining it “food for solar.”

Which is how they have already raised $1,000. Only $19,000 to go. A $5 donation typically gets you a dozen eggs, and a $20 donation earns eggs and a veggie bas-ket, but Brown says some generous supporters have asked for comparatively little in return. Contributors generally pick up their produce at the couple’s apart-ment on St. Urbain at St. Viateur St., though Kiteley, whose job routinely takes him to Toronto, makes cen-tral drop-offs there.

Brown and Kiteley are not your conventional farm-ers. She co-founded and runs the annual Montreal Underground Film Festival; he sings in a punk band called Random Killing. They’ve lived in Montreal and Toronto their entire adult lives, calling an increasing-ly cramped Mile End apartment home.

But having grown up in a log cabin north of Gatineau, the 40-year-old mother of three boys ages 16, 10 and two saw the cottage as both a home and an op-portunity to show her children how life could be dif-ferent.

“When my 10-year-old is up there, he’s outside, climbing trees, running around in the bush. You don’t see (the kids), and it should be like that,” she says.

Her dad and a friend live at the cottage full time, digging up part of the Canadian Shield to prepare the gardens, and neighbours have donated their chickens’ eggs to the food-for-solar project to help satiate about 60 regular egg subscribers. Another 60 have donated money in exchange for an eventual basket of organi-cally produced veggies.

And so with a little help from their friends — and a loan fronting them the cost of the solar power infra-structure — Brown’s country-living dreams are alive and well. Their experiment with small-scale and com-munity-supported, farming is a promising start to a life of living off the land.

“It’s really opened up a part of humanity you don’t get to see a lot of,” she says.

Home s F5Saturday, August 25, 2012Leader-Post • leaderpost.com

In the Saskatoon and Regina re-gions, continued growth of popu-lation and employment opportu-nities are contributing to a robust residential construction market. Housing starts to date for both regions continue to rise, putting both those centres at a pace that is 36 per cent ahead of the same pe-riod last year. This is significant, especially when compared with record-breaking numbers in 2011. The province is continuing to en-joy production levels not seen in nearly 30 years.

The construction industry con-tinues to generate the greatest number of jobs throughout the province, but the skilled labour shortage remains a persistent is-sue. Predictions that resource-based commodities will remain in high demand throughout global markets means that the prov-ince will be largely untouched by

global market turmoil. Saskatch-ewan’s commodities, including oil, potash and agricultural products, are still required in international markets and by Saskatchewan’s largest customers and further in-creased net migration continues to put more pressure on the housing supply across the province.

Housing prices continue to rise, indicating that construction needs to maintain the current pace in order to keep up with demand and mitigate price increases.

Development plans across the province continue to highlight the lack of sufficient serviced land available while more and more municipalities are looking for ways to fund growing infrastruc-ture demands.

Housing demand and increased industry investment in the prov-ince should continue to drive up supply as long as our strong mar-kets continue to attract new work-ers and residents. Communities need to identify new ways to fund necessary infrastructure to ensure the costs of development that ben-efit the entire community are not funded solely by the new home-buyer and that these costs don’t become a barrier to home owner-ship.

Saskatchewan is growing now, but we must remain competitive

and continue to attract new Cana-dians, and individuals and fami-lies from other parts of Canada to meet our workforce needs. Our communities are vibrant and op-timistic about the future. We need to keep the momentum going to ensure that our children and their children find quality careers right here and continue to call Saskatch-ewan home.

So we’re doing OK, but we could do better and we need to.

Builders, contractors and em-ployers continue to be frustrated with the lack of consistency in in-terpretation of building, plumbing and electrical codes in the prov-ince. Our industry continues to wrestle with the unpredictability of outcomes at the hands of deci-sion makers across the 786 munici-palities in the province.

Municipal building officials need to play a facilitating role and not become obstructionist in their application of various codes while always keeping top of mind the health and safety objectives of the codes themselves. Industry con-tinues to urge the chief building official and the provincial govern-ment to standardize the training of all building officials and apply the very simple principle objective of: One Saskatchewan, one code.

On the issue of safety and labour

laws and the like, and considering all the abundant amount of com-mon sense thinkers in the prov-ince, how can it make any sense to have different laws for different sectors, or employers or contrac-tors? Furthermore, if we ever applied the same level of market-ing and enforcement to safe-work practices that we have committed to driving and cellphone use, seat belt enforcement or even poach-ing of wildlife we might see some improvement in the dismal safety record in Saskatchewan.

Consider, too, the irony of the current state, that the worst per-forming sector across all indus-tries is the health-care sector. Let’s not be distracted, though our resi-dential sector has great need for improvement and we need to see more enforcement of the regula-tions and a greater level of vigi-lance in terms of the level of pro-fessionalism of contractors and their care for the safety of their employees.

The current state sees that on the one hand we need more people coming to Saskatchewan yet our current level of injuries puts the equivalent of about 2,200 full-time employees out of work in Sas-katchewan each year.

Consider that number and the productivity cost to employers, the

costs paid by the WCB system and the costs to the economy of Sas-katchewan. Consider that number also while remembering that as a province we would like the limit of immigrants to Saskatchewan via the Immigrant Nominee Pro-gram increased by 2,000 workers. Doesn’t make sense, does it? Maybe common sense isn’t so common.

As the voice of the residential construction industry, the Cana-dian Home Builders’ Association — Saskatchewan is committed to a housing strategy that provides quality, affordability and choice in housing in all communities throughout Saskatchewan.

We are committed to a profes-sional industry, quality careers and the adherence to safety and concern for the quality of life of everyone employed in our indus-try and in Saskatchewan.

As a province we can be proud, because we are doing well, but we can do better, and we must.

ROBERT J. GAlBRAiTHPostmedia News

In 1982, a fictional children’s book titled The Haunted Dollhouse was written and set in a historic West-mount manor called Riverview, on the slopes of Westmount Mountain. It was a scary story about a young girl who awakens in a haunted Vic-torian dollhouse.

But rather than being haunted by an evil spirit, this architectural bea-con might be said to be blessed and watched over by the jovial ghosts of a flamboyant and storied past.

Riverview, built in 1847, is an architectural survivor of the high-est grade and anyone who has had the opportunity to visit the home would agree. Walking through this masterpiece of a house is like walk-ing through the pages of a history book, from its colourful, rich past to its contemporary and inspiring present. Now, this historic home is about to turn another page in its es-teemed and long history.

Located at 515 Cote St. Antoine Rd., this wood, brick and slate piece of history is being listed for sale by Sotheby’s International Realty Que-bec, for $3.275 million.

The 16,000-square foot property actually encompasses three ad-dresses. The main Victorian-style structure is at 515 Cote St. Antoine; the attached townhouse/condo at 513 is in the back of the main struc-ture; and the completely separate — though neighbouring — red-brick cottage called the Well House is at the address of 555 Victoria Ave.

The main property has three bed-rooms, two bathrooms and two half-bathrooms. The townhouse/condo has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a half-bathroom (or powder room). The pint-sized Well House, which is more of a small cottage, has a bathroom upstairs and down-stairs and one bedroom.

Riverview (which was originally named Maison Justine-Solomee) looks like an elaborate, late-Victo-rian home, but this was the result of later renovations and additions. The original house was built by Ephrem Hudon, a Montreal mer-chant and his wife Justine-Solomee Hurtubise.

It was constructed as a basic, one-and-a-half-storey functional struc-ture.

The Hurtubise family was one of the first landowners in this re-gion of Montreal and had farmed the land along the hill since 1699.

The original Hurtubise stone farm-house (built in 1739) still stands, just across Victoria Avenue from Riv-erview. This structure is a treasure in itself and is the oldest standing building in Westmount.

Riverview was purchased from

the Hudons in 1876 by Montreal banker William Simpson, who, in 1879, made some changes to the structure — including building its broad, wooden, gingerbread-style veranda and a second floor. He also added a third-floor attic, a sloping polychrome slate-tiled mansard roof and the central tower, with its wrought-iron fence or balustrade, made up of sunflower weather vanes. Simpson transformed the home into an absolutely stunning example of Second Empire style.

The residence changed hands over the next number of decades, then underwent another major transformation starting in 1985, when Philip and Pauline Ronchetti bought the property and undertook an extensive restoration and pres-ervation project.

The couple restored the poly-chrome slate roof to its original splendid form after the tiles had been buried under layers of grey paint for decades. They opened up some walls and closed others, re-

paired the flooring, cornices and ceilings and changed secondary stairwells.

They also upgraded the elaborate-ly decorated iron radiators in the hallway and the back dining room, then topped them with a marble slab, to cover the grillwork. They stripped the living room fireplace down to the bricks and restored it with a marble and wood covering.

The Ronchettis sold the house to its present owners, Sigrid Wodtke and Robert Kruger in 1990. This couple have continued on as ar-chitectural sentinels and heritage preservationists, continuing to maintain and keep up the ambience and character of the home.

“Just after I met Robert in 1987, he showed me his favourite home in the entire city — Riverview,” Wodt-ke said. “Then it came up for sale and we decided to buy it in 1990. At this time it was just the main home and attached townhouse that was for sale. We bought the Well House (which was privately owned) in 2000.”

The sum of the three properties is unlike anything else on the real estate market, and that’s without mentioning its extensively well-maintained garden area for the landscape or flower lover. It is dif-ficult to believe you are just a five-minute drive from downtown, as you are surrounded by green and quiet on the breeze-filled slopes of la petite montagne.

WASHINGTON (Associated Press) — Sales of new homes in the Unit-ed States rose 3.6 per cent in July to match a two-year high reached in May, the latest sign of a steady recovery in the housing market.

The Commerce Department said Thursday that new-home sales reached a seasonally adjusted an-nual rate of 372,000. That’s the same as in May, which was the highest since April 2010.

The report is “the latest in a series of data points suggesting a durable housing recovery is un-derway,” Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist at brokerage firm BTIG LLC, said in a note to clients.

In the past 12 months, sales have

jumped 25 per cent. Still, the in-crease is from a historically low level. New-home sales remain well below the annual pace of 700,000 that economists consider healthy.

The housing market is making a modest but steady recovery in part because homes are more afford-able: Mortgage rates have fallen to near-record lows. Housing prices are about one-third lower than at the peak of the housing bubble in 2006. Those trends have helped lift sales of both new and previously occupied homes.

Sales of previously occupied homes increased in July from June, the National Association of Real-tors said Wednesday. Sales have jumped 10 per cent in the past year.

Google Maps smugly points to a spot as the GPS co-or-dinates for Don and Cheryl Becker’s home. It appears not to be Don and Cheryl Becker’s home, unless Don and Cheryl Becker live at the end of a mud road. In a pond.

Sigh. I call Cheryl for di-rections. Cheryl is a psychol-ogist. So she calmly talks me down, turns me around and guides me to the Becker home in one piece.

“GPS doesn’t seem to work perfectly out here,” she says, to make me feel better.

Cheryl and Don both do this drive, back and forth to their offices in Edmonton.

Don’s office is 49 kilometres away.

But then, Don is the one who always dreamed of liv-ing on an acreage.

Once their kids were mostly raised, they start-ed plotting Don’s country dream.

They purchased 2.5 hect-ares of treed land out here — wherever the heck “here” happens to be — and Don, a senior associate at Stantec, started designing the home. They wanted to live in a for-est. Now they do.

The couple’s design goal was to create a house that was wide open and yet would flow from one room to the next. They didn’t want a big house, just one where all the space was usable.

Thus, no attic and no base-

ment. No walk-in closets. And only one hallway in the 2,500-square feet of space.

The home, with its heated concrete floors, high-efficien-cy boiler, LED lighting and high-performance-glass win-dows, is energy-efficient.

Even the yard is “green” as the landscaping is absent a lawn to water, spray or cut.

“No maintenance,” Don says with a smile.

The windows are perhaps the home’s most striking feature.

First, there are many of them. Second, they aren’t covered with draperies. Forest creatures tend not to peep.

In the living room the windows stretch from floor to ceiling. The view is all forest, all the time.

The kitchen, dining area, living room and family room are all open to each other.

A friend of Don’s de-scribed the feel of the place as “a Manhattan apartment in the boreal forest.”

The kitchen feels par-ticularly open and inviting. Partly that’s because of the raised ceiling — or clere-story — with high windows. The kitchen features match-ing granite-topped islands.

The dining area is just off the kitchen and enjoys more

abundant natural light.The Beckers have seen

deer and moose, bats and hummingbirds outside.

Don has already cut a walking trail through the forest and up to the back-yard, with its firepit, hot tub and Don’s handmade benches.

“We love the quiet,” Cher-yl says. “The quiet is amaz-ing.

“I think I move a little slower out here. I’m a little more relaxed.”

The house was partly a project and adventure. They see themselves returning to the city one day.

“Our next experience will be very urban,” Cheryl says.

That’s great news. Google Maps works much better in town.

Okay, so the sun is blazing, your AC is cranked to full tilt and fireplaces are prob-ably the last thing on your mind.

We totally understand pri-orities, yet your focal point is needy. Poor wee thing feels abandoned. One minute you love it and won’t leave its side, and the next minute your fickle affections have darted elsewhere. Don’t you feel even a little guilty? Come on. How could you be so cold to the very asset that warms the cockles of your heart during chillier times?

Banter aside, we’re con-stantly shocked by the lack of attention afforded to the average fireplace during the

summer months. No matter the seasonal thermometer, it is still, largely speaking, your focal point, whether resplendent in flamed attire, or awaiting the next batch of logs as temperatures dip. As such, it should be updat-ed from time to time, lest its esthetics suffuse a dated de-meanour across your abode.

And here’s some good news — you don’t have to wield the demo ball and start from scratch. You can achieve great results with a sequence of clever tricks to create an infinitely more modern vibe.

So, Mr. or Ms. Flintstone: As far as painted fireplac-es are concerned, are you in the Yabadabado or the Yabadabadon’t camp?

It transpires the market has several different paint-removal kits and each one is

different. Some, for instance, are more caustic than oth-ers. To determine which is best for your job, analyze manufacturers’ specifica-tions and seek advice in store. For the record, here’s a generic guide to paint re-moval from brick which, in most cases, should prove successful.

First, clean brickwork with soapy water to remove dust and grime. Allow to dry and then (wearing a breathing mask and protec-tive gloves) apply generic DIY store gel paint remover, carefully protecting areas that aren’t being treated. We recommend using a stout brush to work in the prod-uct.

Next, cover with cotton sheeting (old bedding is ide-al) and pat the fabric across the wet surface. As the gel

cures, the paint (and the re-sidual gloopy mess) should pull away and adhere to the sheeting. Peek underneath from time to time to moni-tor the progress, but allow 30 minutes for the chemis-try to kick in. When the os-mosis is complete, carefully remove the sheeting — and the sticky ooze along with it — then wash down the brick to remove residue. Always refer to manufacturers’ in-structions for disposal of used product. Retreat prob-lematic zones as required and use a wire brush to tackle grouted or grooved areas. Et voila!

Our client was complicit as far as painting was con-cerned, especially being that her fire breast was actually only faux stone tile, so we opted for an easy update to pull it into the present day.

Our first task, before paint-ing, was to make good all sur-faces and, in this regard, we removed all loose elements, filled gaps where appropriate and then washed everything down with clean water.

Note: We used creamy white exterior paint, which made covering the brick re-ally easy, but it should be noted that, on previous jobs, we’ve used regular latex, to great effect.

A new fire insert and a new black granite hearth transformed the uninviting fireplace into an eye-catch-ing focal point. With this project, because we didn’t remove the brickwork, we were able to indulge our clients with a lovely new insert that helps modernize the feature. And, being that we only needed a small sec-tion of granite, we used an

off-cut, which we secured for a modest $350. Contact kitchen suppliers or bath-room companies and ask what they have before shell-ing out. Take care of the dimes and the dollars take care of themselves.

Wall shelves come in all shapes and sizes but, rather than simply stack ’em in a regimented grouping, think about different applications to add extra flair. Here, for instance, we used them ei-ther side of the hearth and their smooth finish helps balance the brickwork’s rougher texture.

Modern floating shelves such as the Lack range at Ikea are great for showcas-ing collections and acces-sories, but don’t overload them. With an installation such as this, less is always more.

Fall is well on its way. Heat-ing companies usually get inundated with phone calls when the first week of cold weather arrives, so it’s best if you don’t delay any projects related to your home heating system. Many of you who do not have access to a natural gas supply line in rural areas use oil as the fuel to heat your home. But those dated oil tanks mounted alongside or inside thousands of homes are becoming a thing of the past.

Three main factors have contributed to their demise.

First, many steel furnace oil tanks in use have been in place for many years, some-times decades. Their exterior surfaces may have become corroded and in disrepair. Even more importantly, the interior surfaces can also be badly corroded. Interior cor-rosion can become a recipe for disaster!

Exterior steel surfaces cor-rode rapidly in our humid environments when paint is nicked or damaged, but how does the interior of the tank corrode? Condensation forms on inside surfaces of steel tanks which, over time, begins to accumulate at the bottom of the tank, even if it is inside a home. An acidic microbial growth forms where the fuel and wa-ter meet, which in turn eats away at the interior surface. New, clean-burning, low sul-phur and bio-heating fuels add even more acidity. There is no known way to prevent this corrosion.

Second, home insurers are aware of the significance of furnace oil tanks that are in poor condition. Far too many steel tanks have “let go” and spilled their contents, an ugly and expensive mess to clean up. Many insurers require all

furnace oil tanks — despite their outward appearance — be replaced every 10 years.

Many more insurers re-quire all tanks moved out-doors because of actual and perceived insurance risks as-sociated with the tanks.

The manufacture date that is usually indicated on the Specification Plate mounted on the tank is the best way to determine the age of the tank. If your tank doesn’t have one of these plates, then the tank is probably greater than 10 years old.

Third, as in all parts of our lives, technology chang-es and improves. New tank technology has resulted in the development of non-me-tallic furnace oil tanks.

Many provincial and terri-torial governments support the migration from steel to non-metallic tanks.

Strong, lightweight fibre-glass tanks manufactured in Canada are available. Fibre-glass furnace oil tanks elimi-nate corrosion and insurance concerns. “Best in class” fibreglass tanks also carry warranties and insurance that provide 30 years of pro-tection and up to $5 million environmental protection.

Over the past 15 years, we have seen debt rise across the nation, and more and more Canadians are retiring with debt. According to a recent survey by CIBC, 59 per cent of retirees are carrying debt in retirement and the trend may continue as more baby boomers head into their re-tirement years.

What happened to the no-tion that we had to be debt-free before we retired?

Over the past 20 years I’ve been asked an increas-ing number of questions by attendees at my retirement seminars. “Can you still re-tire if you are not debt free?” “Is it OK to have debt in re-tirement?” “How do you pay down debt in retirement?”

“Are reverse mortgages good?”

A common solution is to downsize. For most people, this simply means selling a large, family-style home and buying a smaller house that is more suited to retirement. While downsizing may ap-pear to be an intuitive solu-tion, it may not help with the finances as much as you think.

I recently met a woman who wanted to sell her bigger home and move into a condo, but she soon realized that de-spite being smaller, the con-do would actually cost more. The condo designed for re-tirees was new, with lots of upgrades, compared to her 20-year-old house. It was a real reality check to discover that her downsizing retire-ment plan was not going to save her any money.

Retirement communities are becoming increasingly popular for the lifestyle ben-efits they offer, such as lower maintenance from smaller houses and yards, and trav-elling with peace of mind knowing your place will be looked after.

It’s important to be aware, though, that these communi-ties usually involve monthly condo fees or strata fees, which can really impact fi-nances in retirement.

While it’s not always a so-lution, I’ve met many people for whom downsizing has been financially rewarding. Some have prepared for re-tirement by buying vacation property, then downsizing from two homes to one. Oth-ers have sold homes in more expensive cities to move to quieter ones and have saved money that way. Others have

utilized traditional downsiz-ing to their advantage by moving from a bigger home to a smaller one.

There is no cookie-cutter solution. The lifestyle you want in retirement — includ-ing family, hobbies, climate and health — will strongly affect the house you choose.

For some, downsizing brings the opportunity to clean out years’ worth of col-lected household items and start fresh. But many strug-gle with throwing things away and selling a home that is filled with memories.

If you are looking to down-sizing as a way to reduce debt in retirement, make sure you plan ahead and explore your options early.
