Branching out of his original home based business, where<br />
he learned the struggles of starting a new business, Mark<br />
opened his doors to the public in 2003 on Ross Street, in<br />
downtown Red Deer. Mark quickly built a quality reputation,<br />
and his client base grew as a result of the many<br />
recommendations and referrals from his satisfied clients.<br />

KITCHEN<br />
REMODELING<br />
Each year, thousands of Canadian homeowners make the<br />
decision to remodel their homes. One of the most common<br />
reasons for a kitchen remodeling project is change.<br />
The average individual is likely to enter their kitchen, at<br />
least, eight times a day. Unfortunately, overtime you may<br />
find that your kitchen no longer looks attractive or brings<br />
you excitement. If this is how you feel about your kitchen,<br />
it may be time for a change. That change can easily be<br />
accomplished with a kitchen remodeling project.<br />
A kitchen remodeling project means different things to<br />
different individuals. There are some homeowners who<br />
only like to change around one or two things, like their<br />
lighting fixtures and floor tiles, but there are others who<br />
want to change everything. If you are really looking to<br />
make your kitchen like a whole new kitchen, you will<br />
probably want to do a large remodeling project. A large<br />
remodeling project not only includes a large amount of<br />
work, but also a fairly large amount of time, but the end<br />
result is almost always more than worth it.<br />
Despite the fact that a kitchen remodeling project is<br />
almost always worth it, you may still find yourself unpleased.<br />
One of the reasons for that is because of what we<br />
tend to view as a remodeling project. We often associate<br />
kitchen remodeling with just kitchen fixtures, like flooring,<br />
lights, countertops, cabinets, and sinks. As much as<br />
you change the fixtures or structures in your kitchen, you<br />
may still be reminded of your old kitchen, especially if you<br />
are using the same kitchen appliances. That is why it may<br />
also be a good idea to include replacing your kitchen appliances<br />
as part of your next kitchen remodeling project.<br />
As previously mentioned, replacing your entire kitchen<br />
appliances may make it seem as if you are really getting<br />
a new kitchen. In addition to the change, you may also<br />
enjoy the new look, especially if your current kitchen<br />
appliances are quite old. Over the past few years, kitchen<br />
appliances have changed quite a bit. Whether you<br />
are looking to purchase a new dishwasher, refrigerator,<br />
toaster, oven, microwave, or blender, you will find that<br />
you, literally, have an unlimited number of appliances<br />
to choose from. Almost all of the previously mentioned<br />
kitchen appliances come in more than one color; therefore,<br />
whatever color or design you are looking for, you<br />
should easily be able to find it.<br />

Traditional Kitchens<br />
vs.<br />
Modern Kitchens<br />
This Article is Provided by Tony Hilderman from Tormynak Contracting<br />
Tormynak Contracting has a very diverse knowledge<br />
in custom cabinetry and has been serving Airdrie and<br />
surrounding area for over twelve years. In addition we do<br />
work in High River, Edmonton, Cochrane and Red Deer.<br />
Tony Hilderman, the hands on owner has over 20 years<br />
experience.<br />
Tormynak contracting has a couple of key specialties that<br />
separate them from the average contractor. They specialize<br />
in complete KITCHEN RENOVATIONS & CUSTOM<br />
CABINETRY. They have expertise in matching to existing<br />
cabinetry. Like Tony says: “Why change it all if we can<br />
match what you have?”<br />
There are many factors to consider before making the<br />
choice of going for a “Traditional Design Kitchen” or<br />
“Modern Design Kitchen”.<br />
• The Style of your home and other houses in vicinity<br />
• The value of your home<br />
• The budget<br />
• MOST importantly, it’s a matter of personal taste<br />
Modern Kitchens can offer homeowners a more dynamic<br />
and innovative style of kitchen that is anything but ordinary.<br />
A couple of the advantages of modern kitchens are<br />
that they are easy to maintain and there are many options<br />
and accessories available to customize your kitchen to<br />
make it right for you.<br />
Traditional Kitchens look stellar in period homes, including<br />
Victorian and traditional style houses. They tend to<br />
be more rustic and have a “homey feel”. These types of<br />
cabinets boast gorgeous wood that dominate the space.<br />
Remember, Tormynak Contracting are experts in retro-fitting<br />
and matching up with existing cabinets.<br />
We always suggest that our customers do thoughtful<br />
research as they have to live with their decision for a long<br />
time. Gone are the days when the kitchen was only for<br />
cooking. A lot of life happens in the kitchen, no matter<br />
how different our lifestyles may be.<br />
The key to today’s kitchens is to take inspiration from<br />
kitchens of the past and upgrade their look and style with<br />
modern features.<br />

REAL HOME ADVICE 7
What is is a Reverse Mortgage?<br />
A reverse mortgage allows Canadians 55 and older to unlock up to 55%<br />
of the value of their home to assist with any financial need. The money received<br />
from a reverse mortgage is tax-free, there are no health checks to<br />
qualify for and no payments required for as long as at least one borrower<br />
lives in the home.<br />
Many senior clients are always asking for a solution to increase their cash<br />
flow and manage their debt. The truth is, debt in retirement use to be a<br />
faux-pas, but today, more and more Canadians are entering retirement<br />
with growing debt. The average life expectancy is higher<br />
than ever and the cost of living is often greater than pension incomes.<br />
There are many questions around a reverse mortgage that you may be asking;<br />
this is normal and I am hear to answer those questions for you. No one<br />
file is the same so ask the questions about your home and situation.<br />
For all the information on how to qualify call me today!<br />

Hot Condo Topics<br />
Current condo hot topics include<br />
the Condominium Property Amendment<br />
Act and amended Human<br />
Rights legislation regarding age<br />
restricted housing.<br />
Condominium Property Act<br />
amendments have been created<br />
to improve protection for buyers<br />
of newly constructed units (new<br />
units sold directly by developers)<br />
and existing owners/purchasers of<br />
resale units. Some of the amendments<br />
regarding developers include<br />
strengthening the province’s power<br />
to inspect, investigate and enforce<br />
rules respecting sales, expanding<br />
purchase disclosure information<br />
including a final date by which the<br />
unit must be ready for occupancy<br />
and options to cancel a contract if<br />
that date is not met.<br />
Amendments with regard to existing<br />
owners (or purchasers of<br />
existing condominium units) to be<br />
addressed in regulations supporting<br />
this Act include new restrictions regarding<br />
the registration of a caveat<br />
against a unit’s title for a charge ($)<br />
to a unit for monetary sanctions<br />
imposed under a bylaw or other<br />
debts claimed by the corporation<br />
(may only be registered against the<br />
unit title by caveat if the sanctions<br />
for debts are found by a court to be<br />
valid but remain unpaid), capping<br />
expenses with regard to preparation,<br />
registration, enforcement or<br />
discharge of a caveat, limiting the<br />
amount of monetary sanctions that<br />
can be imposed in accordance with<br />
the bylaws, enabling certain types<br />
of votes to be conducted electronically,<br />
prescribing maximum fees<br />
that can be charged for a corporation’s<br />
documents and clarifying<br />
insurance, maintenance and repair<br />
obligations of the corporation and<br />
those of unit owners. These amendments<br />
are also geared towards<br />
raising standards in Alberta’s condominium<br />
management sector by<br />
designating the Real Estate Council<br />
of Alberta (RECA) as the regulator<br />
of condominium managers and enabling<br />
this body to establish licensing<br />
requirements for condominium<br />
managers, including education and<br />
training requirements.<br />
A new tribunal system will be<br />
framed to be an affordable and<br />
efficient forum/decision maker for<br />
certain types of condo disputes<br />
between Boards, owners, occupants<br />
and other interested parties. The tribunal<br />
will operate under rules and<br />
procedures set out in the regulations<br />
to ensure that hearings are fair<br />
and efficient, but will only operate<br />
in a limited geographic area (such<br />
as Edmonton or <strong>Calgary</strong>) during the<br />
pilot phase. It will be expanded later<br />
to hear a wider range of disputes in<br />
a greater number of locations across<br />
the province. Courts will continue<br />
to hear disputes that fall outside of<br />
the tribunal jurisdiction including<br />
disputes such as unit foreclosure or<br />
modification of the Condominium<br />
Plan.<br />
Changes to Alberta’s Human Rights<br />
legislation prohibits ‘age’ as a form<br />
of discrimination in condos (and<br />
other areas) and other types of<br />
community housing (co-ops and<br />
mobile home sites). Condominiums/<br />
community housing will be allowed<br />
to continue age restrictions from<br />
55 years and above (including the<br />
spouses and significant others under<br />
the age of 55). Condominiums<br />
who have age restrictions under<br />
55 years will be grandfathered for<br />
a period of 15 years. This means<br />
that between now and approximately<br />
2032, condominiums with<br />
age restrictions will have to decide<br />
(and change their bylaws) to either<br />
eliminate the restriction altogether<br />
or set their age restriction at<br />
55 years. There is a national trend<br />
showing that restrictions by age can<br />
affect communities where there is a<br />
critical shortage of housing and this<br />
amendment will help to create a<br />
more level playing field.<br />

REAL HOME ADVICE 11
Above Ground Pools<br />
Essential Care Tips<br />
Soon spring will be here and it will be time to undergo<br />
the task of opening your above ground swimming pool.<br />
Planning will make your job a whole lot easier. There is<br />
nothing worse than realizing you’re short one bag of<br />
shock when you are in the middle of prepping the pool.<br />
So first, you need to make a list of chemicals that are<br />
needed.<br />
The needs will vary depending upon the type of pool<br />
you own. Therefore, this article will talk about it in<br />
general. You should always refer to your pool and pump<br />
instructions for additional information. Things you<br />
will likely need are liquid or powder shock, bromine,<br />
chlorine powder or tablets, sanitizing cartridge for the<br />
cartridge filters, pH increase or decrease and a test kit<br />
to test the chemical levels.<br />
Do not take off just yet and run to the local pool supply<br />
store for chemicals. Stop and take a few minutes to<br />
check out all of your hoses, skimmer baskets, clamps,<br />
gaskets and o-rings. If any of the parts look like they<br />
might need replaced, take them with you to the pool<br />
supply store. It is a lot easier to match replacement<br />
parts if you have the old part with you.<br />
Now that you have the easy part finished, it is time<br />
to begin the fun. The first thing required taking the<br />
cover off. You will want to enlist help for this, because<br />
you want to avoid getting any top water into the pool<br />
water. In an above ground pool, you should siphon the<br />
water off with a hose.<br />
To get a good siphon started, hook up the hose to the<br />
spigot and put the other end of the hose into the top<br />
water. Turn the hose on for a minute to fill it. Next crimp<br />
the hose a foot or two away from the faucet, and with<br />
your other hand, disconnect the hose from the spigot.<br />
Position the hose at a downspout drain to discharge<br />
then let go of the crimp. The water will reverse and start<br />
to drain.<br />
Once you have the water cleared, use a leaf rake to<br />
remove as many leaves and twigs as possible. Next, remove<br />
your cover weights or springs. At this time a few<br />
people positioned around the pool will help to keep<br />
the cover out of the water. Try to fold your cover like a<br />
blanket keeping the crud in the middle then remove<br />
the cover. You need to scrub the cover thoroughly so it<br />
is dry for summer storage.<br />
Now it is time to attach all the pump hoses. Remember<br />
to lube plugs, fittings, valves, and o-rings with petroleum<br />
jelly. Also, be sure to remove any freeze plugs that<br />
were used to cover the hose openings. You will most<br />
likely need to add water to the pool. It needs to be filled<br />
to the skimmer halfway point.<br />
At this point you should start re-circulating the water<br />
and check for any leaks around the pump and hoses.<br />
Once your pool is leak and drip free, skim off as much<br />
floating debris as you can with your skimmer net. Open<br />
all your valves to flood the hoses and prime the pool<br />
pump. Most manufacturers recommend constant recirculation<br />
of the pool water for at least three days. Any<br />
crud and debris on the sides and bottom of the pool<br />
will need to be scrubbed off. Use the broom attachment<br />
of your pool vacuum for this.<br />
After all debris has been removed and the pool has<br />
been scrubbed, check your filter for cleaning. Some<br />
pumps have removable filters; others are back-flushed,<br />
so clean as directed. Once the filter is cleaned, you can<br />
now super shock the water as per your manufacturer’s<br />
instructions. If you start with green water, you will need<br />
a lot more shock. It may take a few days of recirculation<br />
to clear the water. Once the water has cleared, test your<br />
water or take a sample to your pool supply store and<br />
have it analyzed. Adjust the water as required and keep<br />
the recirculation going. All that is now left to do now is<br />
to wait for the water to warm up so you can start enjoying<br />
your pool.<br />

Landscape Can Drive Home Values<br />
The look of your lawn and garden may be the first and<br />
perhaps the most lasting impression people have of<br />
your home and property. Landscaping plays an essential<br />
role in enhancing its beauty and increasing the<br />
value.<br />
Fortunately, homeowners can turn their own landscapes<br />
into works of art at an affordable price.<br />
In recent years, many companies have begun to introduce<br />
more varieties of bagged rock and mulch.<br />
Decorative landscaping stones and mulches are not<br />
only an excellent way to beautify and accent garden<br />
beds, ponds, driveways and walkways, they also provide<br />
natural benefits to the soil and plants. These benefits<br />
include controlling and reducing erosion, retaining<br />
moisture, controlling weeds and insulating the soil.<br />
Here are a few tips on choosing and applying mulch:<br />
• Choose mulch that is long lasting and not easily<br />
washed away.<br />
• Pick mulch that has a loose structure to let water<br />
pass through quickly.<br />
• Apply mulch in late spring. This helps reduce soil<br />
temperature and save water.<br />
•<br />
• Apply fine mulches one to two inches deep. Coarse<br />
or fluffy mulches should be put on three to four<br />
inches deep.<br />
•<br />
• Apply mulch evenly and level it with a rake or your<br />
hands.<br />
•<br />
• Wet thoroughly after applying mulch.<br />
Pull mulch a few inches away from plant stems and tree<br />
trunks.<br />
To further control weeds and keep plants healthy,<br />
there’s a new mulch called Vigoro Mulch with Weed<br />
Stop. It’s the first to contain pre-emergent herbicide,<br />
controlling unwanted weeds for up to four months yet<br />
allowing bulbs, established flowers, shrubs and trees<br />
to thrive. This mulch is certified by the Mulch and Soil<br />
Council as only containing natural forest products.<br />

REAL HOME ADVICE 17
Maintaining The Quality Of<br />
The Floors In Your Room<br />
Floating floor boards are usually used in the<br />
surface mediums; that’s why it is more prone<br />
to liquids and warps. Mopping is never recommended<br />
if you have this kind of flooring.<br />
How to clean your floor properly<br />
Sweep and vacuum the floor regularly and<br />
use a dust mop to get rid of any accumulated<br />
dusts.<br />
Use a damp cloth and a mild cleanser to clean<br />
any stubborn dirt or spills on the floor. Never<br />
use any abrasive scrubber on your floor boards<br />
because it can damage its quality.<br />
As much as possible, never spill any water on<br />
the floor because it will result to any damage.<br />
If ever this accident may happen, immediately<br />
use a sponge or a dry cloth to get rid of the<br />
water.<br />
If ever there are paint, food stains or nail polish<br />
spilled on the floor, use a rubbing alcohol or<br />
a nail polish remover to get rid of the stains.<br />
Wipe out the debris and never scrub the floor.<br />
If wax is spilled on the floor, wait for it to dry up<br />
and cool. Gently scrape the wax away and later<br />
on use a sponge to wipe the area.<br />
If there is a chewing gum stuck on the floor,<br />
you an ice to harden it and scrape it away like<br />
the way you did on the wax. Again, wipe the<br />
area with a sponge to clean it.<br />
Always check the manufacturer on how to<br />
clean the floor boards. Some manufacturers<br />
may want you to use specific brands to help<br />
you maintain the cleanliness of the floors.<br />
Tips for your floor boards<br />
Do not let the floor have long periods of time<br />
directed by sunlight, it can cause discoloration<br />
of the floor or fade its colour. Use protectors<br />
underneath your furniture to prevent any<br />
scratches on the floor.<br />
Place doormats on every door to trap the dirt<br />
immediately and reduce it going to the floor.<br />
If you have petsComputer Technology Articles,<br />
always trim their nails so that they won’t<br />
scratch your floor.<br />
Don’t wear a stiletto heels when on the floor<br />
because it can also scratch the floor.<br />
Remember that a floor board that is constantly<br />
cleaned can have a longer life and can maintain<br />
its beautiful quality. Make sure that you<br />
exercise good judgment in every stain that<br />
might incur.<br />

REAL HOME ADVICE 21
Your Guide To Buying<br />
Security Cameras<br />
Today’s technology has made setting up security precautions<br />
such as security cameras a cinch! You no longer need to be a<br />
millionaire to set up one. You could even install one yourself!<br />
Security cameras provide a means for its owner to watch over his<br />
or her property from the safety and convenience of any area he<br />
chooses. This type of system is a great deterrent to thievery and<br />
unwanted entry. Most organizations that have sensitive items or<br />
are off limits to the general public employ these cameras to help<br />
keep their places safe.<br />
Purchasing and implementing such a system may save your<br />
business from the terrors of illegal entry. Investment in such<br />
could save you a whole lot of trouble. Before purchasing a system,<br />
you will want to consider the following factors.<br />
Study your needs. The type of security measures installed will<br />
depend on your specific security needs. For example how large<br />
is the area you would like covered? How many cameras will it<br />
take to monitor this area? You must make sure the security camera<br />
system you will purchase can accommodate enough slots for<br />
expansion.<br />
Do you need audio too? Some camera systems have audio<br />
recording equipment as well so you can not only see what<br />
happens, but hear it as well. This is important in cases when you<br />

would like everything documented. However, this may be costly.<br />
Many establishments only require video records of their security.<br />
Also, you must ascertain whether you need to have your security<br />
cameras record in color or black and white. Color cameras are, of<br />
course, more sophisticated and show a clearer picture. However,<br />
they tend to be pricey. Color cameras might also not work in<br />
low-light situations.<br />
Consider the location of the cameras. Will the location be hard to<br />
set up a wiring system in? In that case, you may want to consider<br />
wireless security camera systems. However, these cameras<br />
must be in a place that is conducive to high quality broadcast.<br />
There must be no interference. They can, though, be moved<br />
around the area. They are a bit more flexible than their fixed-wire<br />
cousins.<br />
Will the camera system be for outdoor purposes? Cameras that<br />
monitor outdoor locations need special weatherproof housings<br />
and may not be recommended for extreme temperatures and<br />
various elements. Also those that may be vandalized must be<br />
protected against such. Also, you must take in consideration the<br />
lighting for an area. If your camera cannot record a scene due to<br />
bad lighting, you will end up with muddy images that won’t help<br />
in your surveillance activities. Choose a security camera that has<br />
a good sensitivity to light. Also, try to illuminate such areas with<br />
external lighting.<br />
Consider the available methods for recording the images. You<br />
may use a variety of backup media. And with the advent of computer<br />
storage media, even the use of hard disks, compact discs,<br />
and DVDs can prove to be an inexpensive way to store your data.<br />
Most home security cameras require little wiring, but installation<br />
differs according to model. Here are the basic steps:<br />
• Survey the area to be monitored. Follow the instructions/<br />
manual that comes with your security camera product. Install<br />
the camera at a proper distance from the area to be surveyed.<br />
Cameras vary in the distances from which they focus,<br />
so it would do well to pay notice to such.<br />
• Secure the camera using proper mounts, etc. Make sure that<br />
if the camera you are to install should not be moved, its placing<br />
should be secure and tamper proof.<br />
• Connect the camera to the monitor according to the manufacturer’s<br />
directions. Make sure the wiring is as hidden and<br />
as secure as possible. This will make it harder for vandals and<br />
thieves from damaging your wiring.<br />
• Fine tune your system. Make sure you optimize the images<br />
you receive from the camera. Set a maintenance plan and fail<br />
safe plans to employ in case your cameras break down.<br />
• Organize an archival system according to your needs. Backing<br />
up and recording your images are implemented here.<br />
You must consider where the power sources will be located.<br />
Make sure they are well protected against the elements and<br />
from tampering.<br />
