Snow on the roof can be troublesome

A snow-covered landscape can be a picturesque sight. However, a roof covered in snow is something no homeowner can afford to marvel at. That’s because accumulating snow and ice very well could push a roof to its breaking point, even if the roof was sound before the winter arrived. According to The University of Arkansas division of Agricultural Cooperative Extension Service, the water content of snow can range from 3 percent for very dry snow to 33 percent for wet, heavy snow. A roof may only be able to support 12 inches of wet, heavy snow before it is pushed to its breaking point. Snow can be quite heavy, weighing around 60 pounds per cubic foot. When heavy snow arrives, homeowners should do their best to safely clear their roofs of snow. The threat of snow causing a roof to collapse has many homeowners floundering. While having snow build up on the top of a house is dangerous, so, too is climbing up on a slippery roof to push off the snow. As winter approaches, many emergency officials urge people to clear their roofs and decks to minimize structural collapse. But how does one do it safely? Steep-pitched roofs tend to be the easiest to deal with snow and ice problems because a snow rake is usually effective. A snow rake is just what it sounds like. It is a metal device on a telescoping pole that can be extended to drag the snow off of the roof. Homeowners may need to use extension ladders to reach taller parts of the roof. A second person can remain below to steady the ladder and ensure it doesn’t tip over on a slick surface. It is not adviseable to climb up on the roof directly and shovel the snow off. The added weight of a person may be all that’s needed to cause a roof to collapse, potentially resulting in grave injury and considerable roof damage. A snow-covered roof also can be slippery, which could result in a person falling off the roof. Anyone who does not feel secure removing snow from the roof can hire a professional service to do so. Just be sure the service is properly licensed and insured. In addition to removing the snow from the roof, here are some winter weather home care tips.

* Clean the gutters to remove any debris so that gutters will not become blocked and form ice dams on the roof. In addition, keep gutters and drains free of ice and snow.* Add insulation to attic floors to prevent heat from the home escaping to the roof and causing ice dams that freeze when snow melts. In addition, make sure the attic is well ventilated so that the temperature inside will remain consistent with outdoors, further preventing snow melt.* Melted roof snow can leak into homes or pool around foundations, causing rot and other problems. Keep an eye open for any leaks.* If you live in an area prone to heavy snowfall, a metal roof may be a good investment. The slippery roof causes snow and ice to slide off. Special features at the end of a metal roof break up the snow before it reaches the ground, preventing large, heavy piles of snow from causing injury when falling to the ground.

Keep pets safe in cold weather Many pet owners enjoy taking their four-legged friends with them when running errands. But when the weather is especially cold and harsh, pet owners may want to leave their pets behind in the warmth and comfort of indoors. There are other tactics to keeping pets safe when the winter arrives in earnest.Keep pets away from antifreezeAntifreeze emits a sweet smell, which is often inviting to dogs and cats. But antifreeze is lethal in small doses, so it’s best to keep pets out of your garage and away from your driveway, where antifreeze may leak. Antifreeze can prove especially harmful to pets if it contains ethylene glycol as the main ingredient. There are safer alternatives, but even the safest antifreezes can be lethal when consumed in high quantities.

Protect their pawsRock salt on sidewalks can effectively melt ice and snow. But rock salt also can be very irritating to pets’ paws. Remember to wipe your pet’s feet when coming indoors after walking on surfaces treated with salt or another melting agent. This will help to remove excess particles and prevent your pet from getting ill when the animal licks its paws clean.Keep pets indoors on cold days

Don’t allow pets outside when the temperature falls below 20 F, as pets are at risk of frostbite or hypothermia when exposed to such temperatures. Puppies, kittens and short-haired pets may be more susceptible to the cold and should be kept in when temperatures dip below 40 F.

Look out for animals seeking shelterOutdoor cats and other animals may choose your car engine as a cozy place to spend the night. A warm engine provides enough heat to ward off the chill. You may have a cat under your hood and not know it. Beep the horn before starting the car to scare the animal away. Otherwise the cat could be

severely injured when the car is started.Do not leave a pet alone in a carIt is unwise to leave a pet unattended in a parked car. It may seem that the interior is warmer than outside, but the temperature in the car can drop quickly. Never leave a pet locked in a car, especially in harsh weather conditions.

Green ways to remove snow

Several inches of snow piled up outdoors may seem like paradise to children eager for a day off from school and a chance to spend all day outside building a snowman. But adults typically have different views on snow that have more to do with shoveling than sledding.

Though nothing can make removing snow fun for many homeowners, those with their minds on the environment might be glad to learn there are some eco-conscious ways to remove all of that white stuff.

While it might not be glamorous, human-powered snow removal remains the best method of removing snow safely with the least impact to the environment. Ashovel and broom may not be the fastest ways to clear driveways and walkways, but they have little impact on the environment. Shoveling produces no toxic side effects that can damage plants, animals and even young children. In addition, shoveling snow is an ideal winter exercise, working most areas of the body while providing a cardiovascular workout.

There are several different snow shovels on the market. Ergonomically designed shovels will help reduce injury to the back and shoulders and could make each pass through the snow more efficient. Another option is snow-plow style aluminum shovels that enable shovelers to plow the snow toward the lawn, saving them the effort of lifting and tossing snow.

Standard shoveling may be easier than using a mechanical blower, especially when the snowfall was not significant. However, snow blowers may be more effective after a particularly heavy or thick snow. Electric snow blowers are better environmentally than gas-powered blowers. If you have solar panels, then no additional energy is needed to fuel the electric blower. However, electric blowers are not as powerful as those powered by gas. If you must purchase a gas blower, opt for one that runs on diesel fuel. This way you can use a more eco-friendly alternative bio-diesel, such as discarded cooking oil, to fuel the snow blower.

When snowfall is not significant, you may not need to shovel at all. Abrasive materials like wood ash and sand can make walkways less slick. Furthermore, dark ash will absorb the sun’s rays and help to melt the snow faster.

Use sand sparingly because it can clog storm drains and add to excess silt in streams and rivers. Other products can be used for traction, including a product called EcoTraction(R) which uses hydrothermal volcanic mineral to provide traction.

If you are like the many who rely on a salt product to de-ice, choose a less harmful alternative. Salt runoff can damage plants and irritate pet paws, so choose a calcium magnesium acetate de-icer instead. Though a calcium magnesium acetate de-icer is not necessarily ideal for the environment, such products are more eco-friendly than salt-based products.

Homeowners who live in areas that get heavy snowfall may want to hire a snow removal company. One truck plowing a neighborhood is better for the environment than several homeowners firing up individual snow blowers. Otherwise, think about investing in a radiant heating system that can be built into driveways. The warm driveway will melt away ice and snow. This relies on electricity, which is not as harmful to the environment if that electricity comes by way of solar power.

Snow removal is a chore few look forward to. But eco-conscious homeowners should know that there are environmentally friendly ways to remove snow.

Prevent slips and falls this winter

Winter is right around the corner. That means that most people will be trading in windbreakers and rakes for heavy coats and snow shovels. Winter can be a beautiful time of the year, but the snow and ice that covers the landscape in a pristine sheet of white can present certain hazards as well.

Walking on ice can be extremely dangerous, particularly to those people who already may have mobility issues, such as the elderly. According to the National Safety Council, slips and falls are the single largest cause of emergency room visits. Slip and fall injuries also are the third largest cause of workplace injuries, says the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Many accidental falls occur from lack of stability or poor physical health. However, come winter, many falls can be attributed to walking on slippery surfaces covered with snow or ice. To avoid falls on ice, men and women might want to take

certain precautions.

Change the way you walk

Adapting to the slippery conditions could help prevent some of the falls caused by snow and ice. When walking on ice, plant feet with toes facing outward slightly, and then shuffle along. Hunching over a little and extending arms outward will help to lower your center of gravity and also offer a little more stability. Take VKRUW��ÀDW�VWHSV�VR�WKDW�WKH�KHHOV�and toes of your shoes stay in contact with the ground as much as possible and offer maximum surface contact.

You should not take large strides or move quickly. This can GH¿QLWHO\�OHDG�WR�VOLSV�DQG�IDOOV��Rather, leave extra time to get to and fro, especially when walking to mass transit or to and from your car when commuting.

Switch ShoesFlat shoes with rubber soles are more capable of gripping the ice than other types of shoes. Contrary to popular belief, clunky winter boots may make walking more difficult. Try rain boots instead, as rain boots typically have flatter soles. There also are many different types of shoe ice grips on the market that can be added to the soles of shoes. They easily slip on to offer more traction. Whenever possible, try to avoid shoes with already slippery soles or high heels. Carry these shoes with you and change after you

are inside.

Treat walkwaysKeeping on top of falling snow can help alleviate slippery walkways. Use a combination of snowmelt and sand so that you can keep sidewalks clear.

Remove shoes indoorsSlips and falls can happen inside a home as well. Many people have tile or laminate

entryways in their homes, and these entrances can become quite slippery when snow-packed shoes warm up and the snow melts, creating a wet, slick surface. Avoid falls by placing mats by the front door and removing shoes when you enter. Stash a pair of slippers nearby into which you can change.Pack lightCarrying heavy bags can disrupt your center of gravity and contribute to falls. Whenever

possible, travel light or use a backpack to evenly distribute weight to help you walk more easily.

Falls on slippery surfaces can be quite dangerous. Avoid trips to the emergency room for broken bones or abrasions by slowing down, dressing appropriately and walking on paths that have been cleared of snow and ice.

How to reduce home improvement project waste

The home improvement

indus t ry has grown

considerably over the

last several decades, as

homeowners increasingly

took steps to turn their

homes into personal

oases. But such projects

often produce substantial

a m o u n t s o f w a s t e ,

negatively impacting the

environment as a result.

According to the United

States Environmental

Protection Agency, an

estimated 170 million tons

of building construction,

renovation and demolition-

derived wastes were

generated in 2003, a

year when the housing

market was thriving and

homeowners were not

shying away from costly

h o m e i m p r o v e m e n t

projects. With the housing

market once again on

the rebound, the home

improvement industry

figures to benefit once

again. There are steps eco-

conscious homeowners can

take to reduce waste while

improving their homes.

* Save sa lvageable

m a t e r i a l s . S o m e

materials simply must

be d i sca rded when

making improvements

to a home. But many

more materials can be

salvaged. When making

renovations to a home,

separate materials like

lumber, hardware, fixtures,

and even appliances that

can be salvaged from

those materials that must

be discarded. Many

communities are home to

organizations that collect

salvageable materials,

and these materials can

be reused by fellow

homeowners or other

organizations down the

road.

* Speak to contractors

a b o u t r e c y c l i n g .

Contractors working on a

home typically know which

materials can be recycled

in a given area. When

discussing prospective

projects with contractors,

homeowners can mention

their willingness to recycle

materials. Wood is a

versatile material that can

be turned into reclaimed or

composite wood products,

including decks or other

items used around the

home. Old wood being

removed from a home may

even work as mulch, which

homeowners can spread

around their yards to add

aesthetic appeal and protect

plants on hot summer days.

Even asphalt and concrete

can be recycled into new

products, and homeowners

should discuss their

wishes to recycle as many

materials as possible.

* Choose recycled content

building materials. Another

way to reduce home

improvement project waste

is to make use of other

homeowners’ discarded

ma te r i a l s . Recyc l ed

content building materials

are products that include

materials recycled from

previous projects. These

once-sparse materials

are now commonplace,

and labels often include

the percen tages of

p o s t c o n s u m e r a n d

recovered materials used

in each product. Materials

such as drywall, insulation,

kitchen countertops, glass

tiles, carpeting and carpet

padding may include

recycled content, and the

growing popularity of

such products has made

them relatively simple

for homeowners to find.

When working with

contractors, homeowners

should emphasize their

desire to use materials

made from recycled

content. Such materials

are both pleasing to the

eye and the environment.

* Embrace adaptability

w h e n d e s i g n i n g a

new home. Rarely do

homeowners design their

homes with renovations

in mind. When building a

dream home, homeowners

do not consider the

l ikelihood that they

will one day move out

or even outgrow the

home. Estimates vary

considerably with regard

to how long the average

homeowner stays in

his home, with some

suggesting as little as

seven years. While data

collected from the United

States Census Bureau

within the last decade

suggests that roughly half

of all homeowners had

lived in their homes for at

least 10 years.

Homeowners building

new homes should expect

to one day move, and

ensuring their new homes

are easily adaptable is both

financially sound and eco-

friendly. When a home is

built with adaptability in

mind, prospective buyers

won’t have to make costly

overhauls. In addition,

homes built to facilitate

future renovations won’t

produce the same amount

of waste as homes that are

less easily adapted.

M a n y h o m e o w n e r s

e m b r a c e h o m e

improvement projects

as opportunities to turn

their homes into private

sanctuaries. But those

who do so with the

environment in mind can

significantly reduce waste

and still end up living in

luxury.
