Top Ten Remodeling Tips
Author: Mary Rosendale

My husband and I just completed our first remodel. It was a period renovation of a Victorian Gingerbread Craftsman. (I'm so thrilled I can talk about it in the past tense). We haunted architectural salvage houses for just the right windows, bid on eBay for period-correct light fixtures, spent an entire afternoon driving all over L.A. for a screw that they stopped making in the thirties and generally worked to the point of insanity. Tiptoed up to the line but never crossed it.So here, ripped from the headlines so to speak, are my Top Ten Tips for Remodeling. Read 'em and weep.

1. There is a solution to every situation. But it's not necessarily yours. You go where the solution is - it doesn't come to you.

2. There is no medicine for whatever ails you quite like hard, exhausting, purposeful work.

3. Chew your own food. Don't make your problems other peoples. They've got their own.

4. I'm not psychic. Maybe you are. Guesstimates of time and money are just that. Reality has a way of intruding. When in doubt - go with Reality. (I don't know when I'm going to die either).

5. Pain fades with time. Remodeling is like giving birth. When you're in the middle of delivery you swear you'll never do it again. But then the kid turns out to be a looker, a few years go by.....Yadda yadda yadda - you're in escrow.

6. There are no problems - only opportunities for creativity, action and collaboration.

7. You're born alone, you die alone - you don't have to win alone. Everyone can win. Some win more than others but there's enough in the pot to spread around. If you squeeze a vendor to bid a job so low that they can't make money, harbor resentment and cut corners - you both lose.

8. Nobody owes you anything. If they help you it's because they're generous people. Acknowledge them.

9. Everything comes to an end. And then it starts up again.

10. Remodeling really is like Improv. You show up without a script. You have no idea what's going to happen next (except you can be sure that whatever you think it'll be - you're wrong). You're dependent on others for their performances. So help them shine. You make it work by paying attention to everything and dealing with whatever Reality presents to you. Do the best you can with the resources you have and don't forget to enjoy the ride.

11. Okay, I lied. There are more than Ten Tips to Remodeling. There are actually thousands. This last one, though, is the most important. Don't forget to put yourself on your own Punch List. No pressure of work or money is reason enough not to eat right,sleep enough, monitor your health and appreciate your family.

Pool Decks – Add Ambiance to Your Above Ground Pool
Author: Beverly Marshall

Above ground pools are beloved by many and have gained in popularity over the years. Pool decks could be one reason why this is the case. You will never again have to climb a swimming pool ladder or wonder why you don’t use your pool as much as you should. Landscaping around above ground pools and adding pool lights make a fantastic presentation and enhance any patio décor. Decks are not just a cover for the sides of the pool. They serve as protection, just as lights would serve as safety and protection for your family. Decks for a pool don’t have to be terribly complicated to construct. They need to be non-slip, and well drained. They can be made of wood as a normal home’s deck may be, or they can be constructed of tile or concrete. You are wise to consider alternatives for your deck besides wood.

Chemicals, moisture and lots of sun don’t mix well with wood. Composites are new on the market and more are being developed every year. They are initially more expensive than wood, but they will remain beautiful all the time. They offer a sure footed grip under wet feet, and don’t require maintenance as regular timbers. The usual wood working tools can be used with composites also. They also won’t splinter proposing other safety issues. Obviously, you want them to be as attractive as possible and versatile. You can have pool furniture made out of the same attractive material for a fabulous matching look on the deck. Add lights for evening enjoyment and some creative landscaping around the above ground pool and your will ready before you know it to impress the neighbors with a pool party.

Decks that are built large enough can accommodate outdoor dining, lounge chairs, and watching the kids in the water. The size of your backyard may determine what type of deck you can construct. Since most above ground pools are round or oval, it will be easy to have a vision for your new deck. Your new deck can be an extension of your home; and connect it up to the pool. Some people do this with their hot tubs, but you could do the same thing with an above ground pool. Pool magazines will have lots of pictures for you to determine how you want this setting to be. The more attention you pay to the details such as pool lighting, plants, etc. the more permanent your above ground pool will look. The lighting allows an extension of your entertaining also. You want to be able to see at night; especially when children are involved. This is a safety issue as well as a way to make your pool more attractive. An unsightly pool doesn’t have to keep you from entertaining, just put up a deck and you will be surprised at how fabulous you can make your backyard. Your pool is probably in a sunny location, so add plants that can take a lot of sun. Some plants may be severely affected by chlorine, so don’t get them too close to splashing pool water. You want to soften the look of the deck, but not so much to put them at risk. The only reason I can think of for not installing a pool deck would be because you rent and your above ground pool needs to remain somewhat portable. Other than that, just add your fun accessories around the patio and a little water proof storage; you are set for fun in the sun and your next pool party with the neighbors.
