Out and AboutTrees are budding, the lawns are greening up and it’s finally time to shine up the mower and weed eater. It’s also a good time for me to remind you to visit our Ask The Expert section (pg 44) and contact our advertisers for all your home related needs, both indoors and out.

Warm weather means an upsurge in outdoor activities and calls for an increased awareness when driving. Always, always check around your car when backing up. If little ones or pets are nearby, insist they move to an area where you can maintain visual contact before putting your vehicle in reverse. Watch for kids at play while driving through populated areas and be ready to stop if you see a ball roll out into the street. The owner is not usually far behind.

It’s gearing up to be a busy season for buyers and sellers. Thanks for making LifeandHomes™ and LifeandHomes.com a part of your day and for supporting local business. We look forward to seeing you when we’re out and about.

Mix & Match trend Revolutionizing Deck DesignRetire that old rule that says all the materials you use for your deck must match.Your railing no longer needs to be made from the same material as your decking. Pairing wooden deck planks stained in a natural hue with a metallic railing and decorative balusters creates a fresh, exciting look. Dress up basic wood and vinyl deck posts with fiber-reinforced concrete postcovers that resemble stone.

There's also no rule that says all your balusters have to match. For even more personality, try mixing balusters: alternate different styles of glass or metal, or mix regular metal or glass balusters with lighted balusters. Using energy-efficient LED technology, lighted balusters connect to a standard 12-volt power source to create a soft glow.

Accessories like post caps and planters are great ways to enhance a deck's visual appeal and usability. While metal and glass post caps are traditionally thought of as great complements for metal and glass balusters, they can also add pops of color to a monochrome deck. Available in a variety of colors such as copper, pewter, black and white, metal post caps also coordinate well with wood and composite deck materials.

Need help visualizing how your deck might look all dolled up using the mix-and-match trend? Deckorators offers a simple online tool, the Deck visualizer, which allows you to mix different decking, balusters and post caps and see in advance how your personalized outdoor space might look. Log on to www.deckorators.com to learn more. (BPT)

Summer DiggingEvery digging project, no matter how large or small, warrants a free call to 811. Installing a mailbox or fence, building a deck and landscaping are all examples of digging projects that should only begin a few days after making a call to 811.

Here's how it works:

1. One free, simple phone call to 811 makes it easy for your local one-call center to notify all appropriate utility companies of your intent to dig. Call a few days prior to digging to ensure enough time for the approximate location of utility lines to be marked with flags or paint.

2. When you call 811, a representative from your local one-call center will ask for the location and description of your digging project.

3. Your local one-call center will notify affected utility companies, which will then send professional locators to the proposed dig site to mark the approximate location of your lines.

4. Only once all lines have been accurately marked, roll up those sleeves and carefully dig around the marked areas.

To find out more information about 811 or the one-call utility notification center in your area, visit www.call811.com. (BPT)


Quick & Easy Fixes For Common Lawn Problems “People are often surprised to learn that common lawn problems are often easy to solve,” says Jeff Linderman ofRepairClinic.com. “It may be as simple as raking and watering.”

1.) Widespread yellow hue at tips of grass - Dull lawn mower blades tear the grass, rather than cut, resulting in discoloration. Replace the lawn mower blades. They are inexpensive and easy to install.

2.) Stripes - Uneven fertilizer application is commonly the cause of yellow stripes on otherwise healthy, green lawns. If the stripes are brown, your lawn mower may be scalping and may need to be adjusted. The best way to apply fertilizer is to use a drop-type spreader. Make sure you overlap wheel tracks. It may require adjustment to cut more evenly. If stripes are more tan or brown than yellow, your lawn mower may need to be adjusted to cut more evenly and prevent scalping.

3.) thin patches - This often occurs in shady areas. grass grows through photosynthesis so when sunlight is restricted, growth is hindered. Consid-er pruning trees to enable a greater amount of sunlight. Aeration may also kickstart growth. If that doesn’t work, consider an alternative grass type that is better suited to shady conditions

4.) Brown, dead patches, round in shape and surrounded by healthy grass - Likely cause: A dog has left territory markings. give those spots extra water during its weekly watering. These spots can usually recover quickly.

5.) Large, dry patches - Patches are commonly caused by compacted soil due to heavy foot traffic and/or insufficient watering. If you have a sprinkler system, check to make sure there are no clogged or broken components. Spend time watching your sprinkling system in action. It could be that water simply isn’t reaching those areas and as a result, those areas are drying out. If heavy traffic is the cause, consider a gravel walkway. Also, annual aerating will improve water penetration in compacted soils.

6.) Spreading brown and dead patches of grass - This is a difficult one to diagnose. This can be caused by disease and/or infestations by pests like grubs. Consult professionals at your local gardening center for diagnosis and repair advice for your particular grass type and region.Home Improvement News and Information Center

Enhance Your outdoor Space With An outdoor FireplaceIt's finally time to get outdoors.Instead of being forced to labor through the same old spring chores, use this abbreviated spring as an excuse to stay outside. Fire up the grill, dust off the patio furniture and envision relaxing on a cool night around an outdoor fireplace.

your visionThink of an outdoor fireplace as the functional focal point of your backyard or patio. It can anchor your landscaping, accent your decor, and extend your outdoor entertaining season. It can also be a missing link to your ultimate outdoor living room. In fact, outdoor spaces are the No. 1 desired amenity by homebuyers, according to a 2011 National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) study. Second on that list is a fireplace. And according to the 2011 Marshall & Swift Residential Cost Handbook, outdoor gas fireplaces can add $3,500 on average to home values.

Where to start?For many of us, big, blazing bonfires just aren't practical. And they're not safe or permitted in many residential areas. Modern outdoor gas fireplaces can provide that rustic outdoor ambiance, with the safety and convenience suitable for today's homes. The Heat & glo Carolina is a great place to start. It comes in two sizes and has enough heat output to warm a quaint porch, or a large backyard patio. The Carolina is unique for having FireBrick technology: a patented material which is molded into detailed brick styles and increases heat output by as much as 25 percent. It works similar to cast iron, capturing radiant heat and spreading that heat outward, warming friends and family around the fire. Flip a switch on the wall, or press one button on its remote and this fireplace is ready for company.

another routeFor those looking to add some flare to the backyard, the Twilight Modern does just that. This see-through, indoor/outdoor fireplace installs directly into an exterior wall and creates a two-for-one fireside experience. When the unit isn't running, it acts as a hurricane-rated window. Turn it on, and crisp flames rise through colored glass. The result is an artistic appearance with solid heat output - perfect for relaxing inside or socializing outside.The Twilight Modern is completely sealed and uses Direct vent technology, expelling 100 percent of exhaust outside of the home. No venting or chimney is required.

take control of your summerThis summer season, make the most of your backyard or patio. Extend your living into the outdoors and increase your home value. An outdoor gas fireplace creates another way to enjoy the great outdoors, and another way to accent your home.

Summertime energy SavingsThe average home spends about $1,900 a year on energy costs, but you can easily lower your energy bills and help save the environment at the same time!

Be a speedy chef - A microwave uses two-thirds less energy than your stove.

Push a button to wash your dishes - Your dishwasher uses less water than washing dishes by hand. Then let dishes air-dry to save even more!

Fill up the fridge - Having lots of food in your fridge keeps it from warming up too fast when the

door is open, so your fridge doesn't have to work as hard to stay cool.

turn up your thermostat - Set your thermostat to 78 degrees when you are home and 85 degrees or off when you are away. Using ceiling or room fans allows you to set the thermostat higher because the air movement will cool the room.

use your appliances wisely - Avoid running your appliances during peak hours, -- from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. -- or anytime an electricity emergency is declared.

operating swimming pool filters and cleaning sweeps efficiently - Reduce the operating time of your pool filter and automatic cleaning sweep to four to five hours, and only during off-peak time.

install window shading - Install patio covers, awnings, and solar window screens to shade your home from the sun. For additional future savings, use strategically planted trees, shrubs and vines to shade your home. (Consumer Energy)


Power Washer Safety tips Planning on pressure washing the deck, patio or siding anytime soon? Pressure washers are ideal for many outdoor projects but can be harmful if not used correctly.

* Always grasp the spray gun firmly with both hands in case the gun kicks back.* High pressure spray can cut through skin. Never spray people or pets.* Never wear open-toed shoes, sandals or go barefoot while using the pressure washer. * Wear eye protection. The high pressure spray can cause paint chips or other debris to become airborne.* Never allow children to operate the pressure washer or play nearby.* Keep the nozzle spray away from electrical wiring and windows. * It’s safest to clean a house from the ground up. Starting at the roof on a ladder with slippery detergents and water can create a hazard and possible injury.

Dress Your Home To impress Buyers This Summer(BPT) - Your home is a place to kick off your shoes, relax and enjoy precious time with friends and family. Nothing quite tops the feeling you get when you walk through your foyer, close the door behind you and forget the day's troubles. But as families expand, promotions r equire unexpected relocations or a coveted residence down the street goes up for sale, you might find yourself looking for a new oasis to call home.

Your tastes and personal style have created a beautiful setting for your home until now. But as you prepare for house hunters visiting the space, it might be time to let go of emotional attachment and transform your home into a stunning showpiece that any potential buyer would love.

a touch of colorIf your walls need painting, applying a neutral color is usually recommended. But don't be afraid to have some fun with a color that will leave a lasting impression on people searching for the perfect, stand-out home. A bold color like Azalea married with the soft subtle hue of Chiffon and Swiss Coffee, all from Pratt & Lambert Paints, can create an energetic atmosphere while still giving your home a comfortable and relaxing vibe. Apply the bolder colors to an accent wall or on minor architectural elements throughout the home, to breathe fresh life into otherwise dull walls.

Painting is a small project that can create the most

impact when selling your home. But if your home is large and the thought of taking on a painting project seems overwhelming, never fear. Skilled painting contractors in your area can offer the talent and know-how to get any painting project done quickly, without sacrificing on quality. Ask a family member or friend for a reference, or visit an online resource like AngiesList.com for a verified list of professionals who can turn your vision into a reality.

take your space from aged to stagedAnother way to inspire potential buyers is by showing off a beautifully decorated and elegantly styled home. To get an expertly polished palace, hire an accredited staging professional, who will assess the space and plan a design that will have homebuyers stopping in their tracks. In fact, homes that are professionally staged spend 83 percent less time on the market, according to a survey conducted by The International Association of Home Staging Professionals and StagedHomes.com.

The first thing the stager will do is de-clutter your home. Prospective buyers don't want to be reminded of the home's current owners, so removing personal photographs, over-the-top decorative items or over-sized furniture is an essential part of the process. They might also reconfigure furniture to improve the home's flow and function.

Lighting is an important factor when showing a home, as well. Stagers will find a way to warm up the space and

highlight focal points of the room using strategic light sources, creating an unforgettable space. And since more than 90 percent of potential buyers are searching online prior to visiting a home in person, professionally staged spaces are better able to communicate through photographs than generic shots.

If you've already moved out of your house and into your new home, the stager will bring in key furniture and accessories to help house hunters envision themselves living there. Just like a too-cluttered home might turn off some buyers, a blank ho-hum look can give off a lackluster vibe, so staging an empty house can help any buyer see its true potential.

By investing some time and money into the right kind of home improvement and staging projects, you can be confident knowing you're a step ahead of the competition and a step closer to giving a new homebuyer the home of his or her dreams.

Commercial Lending Source

315-737-8228 OR EMAIL [email protected]

To accomplish your structured fi nance objectives, Peachtree Southern maintains close relationships with a comprehensive group of capital providers including traditional lenders as well as emerging sources of capital covering the entire risk spectrum:

What kind of commercial mortgage rates can I expect? Commercial mortgage rates are typically about 75 to 150 basis points (0.75% to 1.50%) higher than the prime, 30-year residential mortgage rate. For example, suppose you could refi nance your personal residence on a 30-year basis at 4.0% today. If you are an “A” quality

borrower, you could therefore expect conventional commercial mortgage rates from commercial banks to be between 4.75% and 5.5%. Commercial mortgage rates on SBA loans and USDA loans are typically 2% to 2.5% higher than the prime residential mortgage rate. Therefore, if the banks in town are quoting 4.0% on 30-year

home loans, you will probably pay between 6.0% and 6.5% for an SBA loan or a USDA loan. The commercial mortgage rates of life companies and conduits - because the loans are typically quite large ($3MM+) - are a little better than the commercial mortgage rates of the typical bank. You can expect to pay 35 to 75 basis

points (0.35% to 0.75%) over the prime, 30-year residential mortgage rate.

By providing access to both equity and debt markets, we are able to offer structuring alternatives to address rapidly changing markets, create the optimal capital structure, access the appropriate

capital, and enhance the value of complex transactions. Selecting debt, equity and mezzanine capital can represent the most critical and diffi cult component of any real estate transaction and

requires seasoned professionals with proven track records of success.• Permanent Loans• Term Loans• Construction Loans• Bridge Loans

• Joint Venture Equity• Preferred Equity• Mezzanine Debt

Our expertise includes the following types of structured fi nance transactions involving

construction, renovation or asset repositioning:
