What To Do When a
18 The County Times Thursday, September 13, 2018

Project Stalls
Upon embarking on a home improvement project,
homeowners who have never before lived through such
undertakings are often told to expect their projects to
take more time than initial estimates suggested. Unfore-
seen complications can compromise project timelines,
and some homeowners may find their projects stuck in
neutral.
Stalled projects can make life at home difficult, and
homeowners may feel helpless with regard to getting a
project back on course. But there are ways for homeown-
ers to get stalled projects back on course.
• Start off on solid financial footing. It’s important that
homeowners who want to upgrade their homes enter
the home improvement process with a realistic grasp of
their finances. Many home improvement projects stall
when homeowners run out of money. Homeowners can
avoid such unfortunate situations by only beginning a
project they know they can afford. Whether funding
a project with a loan or savings or a combination of
both, homeowners should make an honest assessment
of what they can afford to commit to a given project. If
the amount of money available does not add up to the
estimated cost of the project, delay the project now or
you might be facing a stalled project down the road.
• Honestly assess whether or not you can finish the job.
Do-it-yourselfers may have the abilities to complete a
project, but they should not let their pride get in the
way of their ultimate goal, which is the completion of
the project. In addition to money, time or lack thereof,
is often the culprit behind stalled projects. Homeown-
ers with full-time jobs, families or both may not be able
to find the time to complete a job in a timely fashion.
If the project has been stuck in neutral and no sudden
windfall of free time is on the horizon, start contacting
contractors to finish the job for you.
• Ask for help. There’s no shame in asking for help to
complete a project. Some homeowners may underes-
timate the scope of a project until it’s too late. Ask-
ing family, friends or neighbors for help might be the
only way to get a stalled project back on track. Certain
home improvement projects may not require advanced
skills, and even friends or family with little or no home
improvement experience can pitch in to complete such
projects. When more advanced projects stall, home- need to reapply for permits if projects go unfinished

ous ways to get projects back on track.
• Be mindful of permits. Some home improvement proj-
ects require permits, and these permits often have ex-
piration dates. Homeowners must keep permits in mind
when projects start to stall, recognizing that they may

Staining wood can transform the look of everything from


fencing to decking. While wood can be beautiful in its nat-
ural state, staining can protect the wood and complement
landscaping and other home design elements.
Staining can seem like a simple project, and that is often
true. However, certain woods, such as pine, cherry, maple,
and birch, can be difficult to stain. Boards with attractive
grain patterns also can absorb stain differently, resulting in
blotching and uneven tone.
Commerical & Residential
Before beginning a staining project, it is important for
homeowners to test the stain chosen on a sample piece of 841 Keith Lane • Owings, Maryland
wood to see how the color and absorption turn out. This
gives homeowners the chance to understand what they’re
dealing with and time to make any necessary accommoda-
tions to achieve a more even look.
Begin by gathering the necessary supplies. A pair of latex
or vinyl gloves will protect your hands. Drop cloths will catch
any drips or spills. Safety goggles and a dust mask provide
protection if sanding is required prior to staining. If sanding
is necessary, homeowners will need an orbital sander, hand
sander and sandpaper. Start with the coarsest grit sandpa-
per and move to a higher grit for a smooth finish. Wood that
is covered in paint may need to be stripped prior to sanding.
Follow the directions carefully when using chemical strip-

Expert Advice, Excellent Service,


Stain should be applied so that it is evenly coated. Wipe
off the excess to get the preferred color. Apply more stain
as necessary to get the desired color. Many stains only offer
color, so you’ll need to apply a finishing coat to protect the

or and a finish to save time.
Remember to remove knobs, hinges, and handles from a
piece before staining, as the stain may affect the color of any
metal hardware and damage it.

Backyard Play Area


Homeowners often aspire to have attractive backyards that
look like they belong in a magazine. While these can be pic-
turesque and functional for adults, they may not be entirely
practical for homeowners who have young children, especially
when the majority of the yard is covered with paving stones
or concrete.
When young children are part of a household, homeowners
may benefit by designing yards that are both functional and
fun. Incorporating safe play areas for kids is one way to unlock
the potential of both big and small backyards.
As children run off to enjoy a playground, safety is the last
thing on their minds. Kids are most interested in scaling lad-
ders to treehouses or coasting down slides. That’s why adults
must take it upon themselves to keep injury prevention in
mind.
SafestPlayground.com indicates that playground-related
injuries routinely result in severe fractures, internal injuries,
concussions, and dislocations. In the majority of playground
injuries to children younger than age 5, the head and face are
affected. Children between the ages of 5 and 9 experience
more leg and arm injuries than younger kids. The Consumer
Product Safety Commission states 70 percent of children’s in-
juries occur on home playgrounds.
When considering playground equipment for the yard, par-
ents need to make safety a priority. Follow the “5 S’s of Play-
ground Safety”: Surface, structures, site, supervision, and safe-
ty.
• Surface: Parents should assume that children will fall. To
lessen the blow of falls, choose playground equipment with
a perimeter of six feet of a softer surface, such as sand, pea
gravel, rubber pieces or wood chips. This material should be
between six and 12 inches deep.
• Structure: The structure of the play equipment should be
built from sturdy materials. Pressure-treated lumber was
once the standard, but it’s not adviseable for kids’ play-
grounds, as the chemicals used in the lumber can leach and
young children may actually bite or pick at the wood. Use
Repair, Refinishing, Antique cedar or another wood that resists decay. Once the struc-
ture is built, inspect it frequently for damage.
Restoration & Reupholstery • Site: Look around the landscape for an ideal place to locate
the playset. There should be no obstacles that children can
hit while sliding or swinging. Avoid overhanging branches
and do not place equipment too close to trees or fencing.
Try to keep the set out of direct sunlight, which can make
components heat up and scald young bodies.
• Supervision: Do not leave children alone while they are play-
ing. Prevent children from using the playset in an incorrect
manner.
• Safety: Follow the directions for installation. Make sure all
posts are anchored into the ground securely. Railings should
be spaced so that children cannot get stuck between them.
Check that metal components have not rusted and that
there is no additional excessive wear. Be sure that no tools
or other dangerous items are left around the yard.
Backyard playgrounds should be built with safety in mind.
