It's Spring, and
our thoughts turn to outdoor living!
FEATURED PROJECT
With the advent of warmer
weather, we all look forward to spending more time outdoors.
Adding a deck to your home provides the perfect setting to
sit and relax at the end of the day, have some friends over,
and to have a great meal in the light of sunset!

You can use a teaspoon of Dawn dish soap to a
1/2 gallon of water to kill bugs on plants. Mix it
up, put in a garden spray bottle and spray on the leaves.
Save your egg shells, crush them and sprinkle around the
base of your tomato plants to help keep cutworms away.
Tiny garden seeds are more conveniently planted if you drop
them from a salt shaker. Just cover some of the holes with
masking tape to reduce the flow.

Some Facts On
Masonite Hardboard Siding Class Action Suit
Do you qualify? Finding the facts.
In the 1990s, many houses were built with siding
made of Masonite Hardboard. The courts have determined
that the siding was defective, and established the
terms and conditions of compensation.

Things to think about before building a deck..Part 2
You want balance in design, size, and even materials.
If your home is contemporary in style, a redwood deck
would look out of place, just as a modern, geometrical
deck would look funny built onto a Cape Cod. If your home
is built from brick, incorporate some brick into the design.
The same would be true if your home were constructed of wood
or adobe. You want to have the deck or patio built with
materials that will compliment your home and not look
like a separate entity.
Other considerations include the landscaping, which is actually
an important part of the complete look. The area needs to be
aesthetically pleasing and if your deck or patio will be in
direct sunlight, you might consider plants and trees that can
provide nice afternoon shade. Using different types of climbing ivy,
you can create a beautiful appearance on the partition or railing.
Remember, you want your deck or patio to be a place of relaxation
and tranquility, a place to escape from your busy day at the
office or school.
Whatever design you go with, you want your deck or patio to lure
people outdoors. You want this area to be inviting and comfortable.
By adding French doors, potted plants, ornate railings, built-in
seating, and even a nice, gentle flowing fountain will make your deck
extra special.
