A lush garden hedge can create more than a barrier between properties, and it's a useful way to lower noisy traffic or nearby neighbors. Planting a hedge is an attractive way to muffle sounds and enclose your property while creating a lush backdrop for a bed of flowers. And it might encourage songbirds to take up residence. But planting a hedge is also a commitment that includes regular maintenance, weeding, clipping andYou'lltrimming.getthe best planting advice from a local garden center about property conditions and soil and choosing hedging material that grows well in your area. Ask about spacing requirements, so you allow plenty of growing room between the plants. Find out what type and how much fertilizer to add, and ask about the best time to clip and trim the hedge.

DO IT YOURSELF OR NOT?

A landscape service charges $1,228, including labor and material, to plant a 30-foot hedge of 10 boxwood plants. Boxwood is a popular hedging material because it's attractive and grows relatively fast. You can do the job yourself for $910 for 10 plants and fertilizer and pocket a 29% saving.

Building a new interior wall in an existing house can be much different from doing it on a new home job site. When we carpenters build a wall for a new home, we typically build it flat on the floor.

D o you want to build a new wall inside your home? Perhaps you're trying to create a new small space for a home office or hobby room, or maybe you have a bigger appetite and are transforming a dank basement into a finished living space. But you have no idea where to start. I've been there. I've experienced your anxiety. Every now and then it's interesting to go back in time. I clearly remember having to build my first partition wall inside a house. I was a soaking wet-behind-theears carpenter working for a small remodeling company. One of my college professors, Dr. Larsen, had asked me to install a half bathroom in his home. I had no idea what to do, so I told him that my boss could do the Oncejob.the simple plans were drawn and the contract signed, I was sent to my professor's house to start the job. I had painted the outside of the home three years before, and Dr. Larsen and his wife trusted me. Little did they know, I had no clue how to build the three simple walls needed for the small new bathroom. I survived with the help of a few phone calls to my boss. It was a humbling experience as I discovered you don't know what you don't know. Keep in mind this was decades before the Internet and YouTube. You have no idea what an advantage you now have when you have to educate yourself about how to repair and build things around your home. Count yourBuildingblessings!anew interior wall in an existing house can be much different from doing it on a new home job site. When we carpenters build a wall for a new home, we typically build it flat on the floor. Once all the studs are nailed to the bottom and top plates, we tilt the wall up and secure it so it doesn't fall over.

I've found over the years the best fence paint is not paint! Do what Tom Sawyer did and apply a coat of true whitewash. You can add dry pigments to real whitewash to achieve just about any color.

Wood is probably the best material to consider if you intend to build your own decorative fence.

By Tim Carter

Think of the future. I've seen many other home improvement articles try to convince you to surround your fence posts with concrete. It's not necessary, and concrete will cause you tremendous pain in the future if you need to replace a fence post. Often the soil is strong enough on its own to support sideways movement of a fence. If you feel the need to add additional strength, then surround key fence posts with a 5-inch-wide ring of crushed gravel. Once this compacts, it will be just like concrete and far easier to remove should the need arise. If you're using wood, take whatever steps are necessary to pre-cut and pre-stain or paint each individual piece of wood on all sides and edges before you assemble the pieces. If you layer wood pieces on top of one another and don't do this, water will seep into the wood, causing paint to peel prematurely, and it will accelerate wood rot.

There are quite a few basic things you should consider before you start your project. First and foremost, check with your local town or city to see if there are restrictions when it comes to fencing. The community I last lived in had a height requirement for fences. The founders of the community wanted to preserve the open vistas and rural feel of the land and knew that tall fences would ruin this look. Fence heights were limited to 56 inches. Once you determine if you can build a fence, you need to make sure the fence is on your land. If you don't know the exact location of your property lines, it might be well worth it to have a surveyor come out and re-establish your lot boundaries. Many homeowners don't realize a surveyor can install stakes or pins along a boundary line with speed and precision. These intermediary points will allow you to ensure your fence is on your property.

If you have buried utilities in your area, call 811 three days before you intend to start to use a post hole digger. The last thing you want to do is chop an electric line in half, damage a fiber-optic cable, pierce a gas line, or create a fountain cutting into a water line.

Y ou've heard the wise saying, "Good fences make good neighbors." It's been around in one form or the other for hundreds of years and Robert Frost immortalized it in one of his poems just over a century ago. The advice is solid and you can take it one step further, should you desire. Attractive and one-of-a-kind fences make great and appreciative neighbors. These special fences can also serve a secondary purpose of making your landscaping even more beautiful.Stopand think about that for a moment. When was the last time you saw a fence that put your head on a swivel? You don't give a second thought to a plain-vanilla chain-link fence. A split-rail wood fence might get an extra half-second glance from you. A picket fence with special posts and humped fence sections might get you to comment on its grandeur. But what happens if you take it to the next level? What happens if you invest the extra time to build a decorative fence using layered materials, simple geometric designs, and any other trim pieces to create a one-of-a-kind fence? You can do this using any number of materials such as wood, wrought iron, aluminum or even vinyl. I can tell you from experience that fences like this do create years of pleasure both for you and those who live on the other side of the manmade barrier. Several times a year I get the privilege to visit the Asticou Azalea Garden on Mount Desert Island in Downeast Maine and see such a Woodfence.isprobably the best material to consider if you intend to build your own decorative fence. It's easy to obtain, it's easy to work with, and it might be the most affordable option you have.

You can't always do this in an existing home, especially if the ceilings in the room are finished with drywall or plaster. As you tilt the wall up, it binds against the ceiling. If you're challenged by a finished ceiling, you'll most likely have to install your top and bottom plates, making sure the plates are plumb in the same plane. You'll then cut each wall stud to fit snugly between the plates and toenail them in place. Drill angled pilot holes in the ends of the wall studs for the nails. Use no less than 3-inch-long 16d sinker nails to connect the wall studs to the plates. If there is no ceiling, you can tilt the wall up so long as you orient the wall in the same direction as the floor joists above. You simply make sure the top of the wall rises up in between two parallel floor joists.

BRING IT INSIDE Outdoor Furniture That Moves Indoors

EASY SWAPS

For a living room sofa that has seen its better days, don't think twice about replacing it with an outdoor sofa. Maybe what you need is a whole living room set; you can easily put one together that will look terrific and give you a lot of bang for your decorating buck.

Throw in some poufs for a fun reading spot in the kids' rooms. Always opt for a natural fiber such as seagrass, wicker, bamboo or rattan. These textures have a timeless look and ageless appeal that works indoors as beautifully as it does outdoors, and brings a little of the outside in.

If you like to change things up in your home, adding outdoor furniture inside gives you the ability to change with the seasons. With an abundance of seat cushion choices in various colors, patterns and fabrics, you can swap out cushions with the seasons, or just on a whim, and not be set back for the price and time it takes to reupholster.

We've all seen the migration of outdoor living, but that doesn't mean what goes outside can't come inside. There's a real practicality for bring outdoor furniture into your home. For example, pet owners and those will small children will appreciate the durability of spill resistant fabrics and rugs.

For something more substantial, try a pair of wicker chairs in any room where you entertain guests. They'll look terrific and give you a natural touch. In the foyer, try a charming outdoor woven settee to create an easy spot to place a purse or put on shoes.

And because these pieces are usually budget-friendly, they're real contenders for indoor use. That way, if Fido chews up the sofa cushion, you aren't out $600 on a down-filled pillow that fills your living room with white fluff. Plus, kids can spill grape juice to their heart's content around outdoor fabrics that are washable and resist stains.

OUTDOORS IN

QUICK CHANGE

One of the easiest uses of outdoor furniture is for seating. Add an outdoor seat in your bedroom, and you can have five for the price of one inexpensive slipper chair. Then you can use the extra chairs in the living area. Or, look for cute design accessories such as small tables that can be set next to chairs. With all the outdoor colors to choose from, your accessories can add a bright and unexpected punch of color to your home.

I f you've ever walked through the patio section of your favorite home center, you know how great some of the outdoor furniture looks. Serious upgrades have been made to outdoor furniture, and it almost looks like what you'd see indoors. If you need a few pieces (perhaps a new table or some comfy chairs), look no further than the patio section of your local retailer.

Or, you can change pieces altogether. Outdoor furniture prices are more affordable than indoor furniture, so you can swap out with new pieces as you like. Of course, you can always repurpose your outdoor furniture to, well, the outdoors.

LITTLE WAYS TO UPDATE YOUR KITCHEN WITHOUT RENOVATING HOME IMPROVEMENT

1. INTRODUCE OPEN SHELVING.

W hile we all might have visions of our dream kitchen dancing in our head or multiple images pinned to a Pinterest board, doing a full-scale renovation might not be in the budget at the moment. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing you can do. Here are a few easy ways to update your kitchen – no remodeling necessary.

If you've got a massive blank wall to fill, you might want to consider adding some shelves. They're a great way to show off your beautiful glassware, a collection of serving ware, or gorgeous cookbooks – and they'll give the room even more storage space. Add sculptural or minimal brackets for that extra touch of elegance.

2. PAINT THE CABINETS. Yes, painting your cabinets is quite a bit of work, but it's incredibly affordable! It's the cost of a can or two of paint (plus primer!) and some elbow grease if you're doing it yourself. Whether you opt for a dramatic black or a soft dove gray, a couple of coats of paint will completely transform the look of the entire space.

4. ADD UNDER-CABINET LIGHTING. Give this space some drama while showing off pretty display pieces. You can find a bunch of options, including LED battery-operated versions that just stick on. It's a softer lighting option than overhead lighting – and it creates a warm ambiance at night.

6. RETHINK YOUR CABINET SPACE. If the main reason you're wishing for a reno is to gain more storage in your current space, reconsider the cabinets you currently have. Double your cabinet space by purchasing graduated shelving inserts, dividers or a turntable. Just assess your storage needs before going nuts at The Container Store.

7. COVER YOUR COUNTERTOPS. Unfortunately, we don't all have the countertops of our dreams. A quick way to refresh is by covering a section of your counter with an oversized cutting board or a slab of marble. This idea works especially well if you'd like to camouflage a damaged spot until you're ready to redo the entire countertop.
