Now that’s Smart.

Stairways difficult type of carpentry Q. The large post on my stairway is loose and makes the whole hand railing loose. I can’t find any screws to tighten to correct this problem. How do I tighten my stairway up? Thomas of Auburn A. Stairways are an intricate SQUARE combination of CORNERS newel (the large post), banister Jeff Deahl (handrail) and balusters (spindles). It depends on when your house was built and how fancy it is as to whether you have goose necks, volutes or turnouts.

Typically in older houses stairways were very involved and required a superior wood craftsman. In my option stairways are the most difficult type of finish carpentry and are done right by a small percentage of carpenters. During installation even a hole drilled a 1/16” too big for a screw holding a newel post over time will become loose. Handrail systems have got to be strong and durable but also decorative and if the newel post is improperly installed can make the whole stairway shaky. The newel post should be notched into the floor system and hidden lag bolted to the rough framing of the floor and stair structure. To access these points would require removing stair

treads and possibly finish flooring. You can sometimes access the post from the underside of your floor system to additionally secure the post. Most commonly, to fix the loose post you would drill a hole and install longer lag bolts from the surface of the post into the structure of the stairs. Once the post is secure now cut a wood dowel rod (preferably the same wood species of your existing stairs) and fill in the hole. Finish the wood to match your stained or painted stairway.

Fall is best time to apply lawn fertilizer Applying fertilizer is one of the most important procedures done as far as lawn care goes as it influences grass color, helps it deal with stress and prevents weed invasion and disease. Two important factors to consider when applying a fertilizer are when and how much. Fall fertilization has been proven to be the best time for application as it helps to produce the healthiest turf throughout the year. Some of the benefits of fertilizing KNOWLEDGE in the fall are that you TO GROW will have a lengthened period of green, you will have an earlier green-up in the spring Karen Weiland without the excessive top-growth and the energy stored in the plant and available for growth remains higher throughout the spring and summer thus resulting in a reduced incidence of summer disease occurance. Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and

•

Potassium (K) are the three major nutrients needed by grass. Nitrogen gives the grass it’s deep, rich color and promotes vigorous growth, Potassium builds strong roots and Phosphorus is important in stimulating early root growth and promoting plant vigor. It is recommended to obtain a soil test before applying a lawn fertilizer so you can determine what mineral elements your soil needs. There are two types of Nitrogen, quick release (soluble) and slow release (insoluble). A good turf fertilizer will contain some of both. The slow release will provide nitrogen over a period of time but is not available to the plant during cool weather. The fast release will provide nitrogen almost immediately after application and during cool weather. To avoid fertilizer burn do not apply more than 1 ½ pounds of actual nitrogen per 1000 square feet at one time, spread it evenly, apply when foliage is dry and then water it in after application. Return your grass clippings to the lawn. It’s free fertilizer. Grass clippings contain valuable nutrients that can generate up to 25 percent of your lawns total fertilizer needs. Photosynthesis is high during the fall even with the cooler temperatures. The higher the photosynthesis, the more energy the plant will store over the winter

and into spring thus producing a healthier grass plant. Mowing off more of the grass blade will result in reduced photosynthetic capacity which will reduce energy storage and a decrease in plant performance the next summer. There is a direct relationship between grass tops and roots. The more tops to the grass plant means more and deeper roots, which in turn means the grass plant can withstand stresses better. One last thing, mulch those tree leaves. Layers of tree leaves can smother and kill the grass beneath it this fall. Layers of tree leaves can also contribute to snow mold, a winter turf disease. Mulching leaves with a mower is much easier than raking, blowing or vacuuming them. Regularly mowing them in the fall will cut them into small pieces that will then filter into the turf. As always, happy gardening.

Right at Home: Bar gear gets swanky THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Home beer and spirit-making have become popular hobbies. Bars and beverage stores feature a growing range of artisanal spirits and craft brews. Cocktail parties are back in vogue. And retailers are responding to all this imbibing by offering furniture, barware and accessories with cosmopolitan flair. All you need are a few invitations, snacks and some good music for the party to begin. Let’s pop the cork on what’s new: “Nowadays, entertaining does not have to mean having a glitzy full bar. Bar carts have become more delicate, refined, and smaller in scale, so you can tuck them into a corner of a room or blend them in with the rest of the furniture,” says Veranda magazine’s market editor Catherine Lee Davis. West Elm’s Parker slim-profile cart in acorn-stained walnut veneer with brass rail trim has a mid-century vibe. The walnut-stained Dodson cart features a flip-down front concealing a mirror-lined interior with plenty of storage. And a cart in polished nickel with two foxed mirror shelves evokes Art Deco glamour. (westelm.com ) If you want the look of a built-in bar, consider Pottery Barn’s modular collection of wine grids and drawered cabinets. In black or mahogany finish, the pieces can be configured to look like a hutch or buffet. (potterybarn.com ) Davis says that with barware, the trend is toward shaking it up. “We see lots of different materials like hammered silver, tortoise, or shagreen,” she says. “It’s all about mixing and matching. After all, entertaining should be about having fun.” Gent Supply Co. has a natty collection of coasters, glassware and flasks printed with illustrations of turn-of-the-century gentlemen duelers, narwhals, anchors, and animals dressed in distinguished garb. (gentsupplyco.com ) Artist Richard E. Bishop, known for wildlife etchings in the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s, has his work on an array of bar glasses and decanters. Ducks, trout, foxes and horses set a “country house” tone. (richardebishop.com ) A punchbowl that rests in the clutches of an octopus, and a sculpted shell held by a delicate coral stand are part of an aluminum barware collection at Z Gallerie. There’s also a faux crocodile service tray in rich eggplant, studded with silver rivets, that makes a sophisticated statement. Silver cocktail picks and stir sticks topped with airplanes evoke the Second

This photo provided by West Elm shows the Parker cart that has a midcentury vibe, in an acorn finish with brass rail trim. Bar carts are a great way to set up a bar in a small space. Some have wheels or casters so the carts can be rolled to one side when not in use.

World War. And a mirrored sign with phrases like “Stirred” and “Straight Up” printed in a gold retro font would make great wall art. (zgallerie.com ) JC Penney has a whimsical yet elegant wine decanter from Michael Graves Design that features his signature bird as built-in aerator. (jcp.com ) At Homegoods, there are hammered metal cocktail shakers with handy drink recipes printed on the side. Standing wine buckets are useful accessories, leaving more room on dining tables and buffets for nicely-sized tools — small muddlers, sieves, scoops and tongs, for example — that will have amateur bartenders looking like experts. (homegoods.com ; surlatable. com ) Making a good martini may be an art, but how about making your own gin? No bathtub is required, just a kit like one from Uncommon Goods containing all the spices, juniper berries and accessories needed to turn garden-variety vodka into a custom gin. New York artist Aymie Switzer’s laser-etched cedar coasters depict neighborhood maps of many major cities,

including Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston and San Francisco. Coasters recycled from old tires are stamped by Los Angeles artists with different graphic number fonts. And Colorado designer David Rasmussen’s black walnut stemware is distinctive and beautiful. All at uncommongoods. com . Whether it’s a swanky gathering or a casual movie night, provide your drinking guests with a variety of interesting treats. Pier 1’s Tasting Party collection includes one-bite ceramic dishes, shot glasses and spoons which can be stored in your home bar. Ebony buffalo-horn condiment spoons and mottled horn bowls from WilliamsSonoma would add flair. (pier1.com ; williams-sonoma.com ) If you’re setting up a first apartment and don’t have much money, consider giving an old nightstand or tray table new life as a miniature bar. Hit flea markets and junk yards for salvaged tool trolleys, medical supply carts or old microwave stands and spiff them up with paint, paper or other decorative materials like stick-on tiles and mirror. The web has many artful ideas, including at curbly.com.

Enjoy this olive thatâ€™s not an olive BY LEE REICH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Outside my window is a large, rounded shrub with leafless branches suffused in a golden haze. That haze is actually hundreds if not thousands of golden berries clustered tightly along the thin stems. This shrub asked nothing more from me than planting and care â€” in the form of water and mulch â€” for only its first year in the ground. Although not considered so years ago when I planted it, the shrub â€” known as autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) â€” is now considered dangerous, an invasive species. It was brought over from Asia in the 1830s, and found the soils and climates here much to its liking. With the help of birds, which gobble down the fruits and subsequently eject the seeds, autumn olive has spread far and wide. There are dozens of wild autumn olives within a short bicycle ride of my garden. Autumn olive has its virtues Beyond its fecundity, adaptability and that golden haze, autumn olive offers

more pluses. The berries are preceded, in spring, by flowers that exude a sweet perfume. The wavy leaves are flecked with silver and are practically white on their undersides, so the whole plant is transformed into a shimmering globe in summer breezes. And the adaptability that makes this shrub weedy also means it can be used to re-clothe ground trashed by construction projects or mine spoils. The roots even harbor microorganisms that convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use, thus building soil fertility. Enjoy, but â€” in most places â€” do not plant Because of its invasiveness, autumn olive should not be planted wherever it is considered so; check with your state department of environmental conservation to determine whether or not it is invasive in your state. On the other hand, if you come upon some wild shrubs of autumn olive, enjoy the plantâ€™s beauty and, after definitive identification, the berries. Eating them will make some small contribution to throttling the plantsâ€™ spread.

Charlieâ€™s Golden autumn olive is seen in New Paltz, N.Y. Autumn olive has been used to re-clothe ground trashed by extensive construction projects or mine spoils. The roots even harbor microorganisms that convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use.

Consider other options for the home office THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The home office, it seems, is going the way of the fax machine. Interior designers say families are finding more inventive uses for their homes’ extra little rooms — optimistically called “bonus rooms” by real estate agents. With the spread of wireless Internet and portables devices such as tablets, it’s common now to send spreadsheets and emails from any room in the house, not to mention the nearest coffee shop. In fact, among major home-renovation projects, home-office improvements provide the puniest return on the investment when a home is resold, according to Remodeling magazine’s 2013 “cost vs. value” report. So instead of that dust-collecting desk, many families are seeking creative ways to customize these alcoves as game rooms, dressing rooms, small theaters and more. “I get this question a lot,” says Elizabeth Cb Marsh, an associate interior designer at Jenkins Baer Associates in Baltimore. “Especially in large, new-construction homes, there are these bonus rooms that are just there.” When her clients make over a pre-existing office, she usually recommends trying to preserve any built-in features, such as shelving or cabinetry. If the space is large enough, she says, one option is to create a billiards room. Find a small (7-foot) pool table to place in the center of the room. If there’s a wood counter, retrofit the top with a waterproof material such as stone for an elegant wet bar, and if you have the budget, install plumbing for a small sink. Add barstools, a high-top cocktail table and a pendant lamp over the pool table. A smaller office can have a second life as a luxe dressing room, according to Marsh. Whether you draw inspiration from “Downton Abbey” or certain Beverly Hills housewives, the first step is to install a wall of shelving for shoes and clothes. Keep the decor minimalist, she advises, with a neutral paint color, a pair of sconces, and a tufted ottoman in the center of the room. Add a floor mirror and a vanity, and accessorize with vintage hatboxes, a dress form or an antique trunk. If the room has windows, be sure to hang light-filtering curtains to protect your clothing. Families with children have even more options for converting an office space. These days, it is common to

This photo provided by ProjectNursery.com and On The Real shows a children’s homework hub in New York. Families with children have even more options for converting an office space. These days, it is common to transform a dull study into a kids’ homework hub, says Pam Ginocchio, co-founder of the children’s design blog Project Nursery.

transform a dull study into a kids’ homework hub, says Pam Ginocchio, co-founder of the children’s design blog Project Nursery. To begin, she recommends giving each kid a workspace: a small metal desk in a fun color with a clip-on lamp and a comfy swivel chair. Create a comfortable reading nook on the floor with beanbags. Then mount floating shelves from floor to ceiling and display books with the covers facing out to entice young readers. Appoint one wall as a place for scribbling ideas or displaying schoolwork by applying a layer of magnet paint and then chalkboard paint from floor to ceiling. Consider allowing a computer for older kids’ homework, but try to banish video games and other distractions, says Project Nursery co-founder Melissa Fluhr, who stresses the value of a quiet, contemplative space. If contemplative is not your family’s speed, Fluhr suggests using the bonus room as an off-off-off-Broadway theater. For a kid who likes to perform skits, play

songs and choreograph dances, build a basic plywood stage in the corner of the room. Above that riser, hang a rounded shower-curtain rod and a pair of dark, tab-top curtains. Hang costumes and dress-up clothes in a cubby, and store puppets, musical instruments and other props in a toy chest. Finish by hanging a mirror at tyke height so children can watch themselves rehearse, and don’t forget to add a few comfy chairs for the audience. If your child has another obsession, turn an undersized room into her special hangout. For example, if she is into outer space, turn it into a mini planetarium with a dark-painted ceiling and a night-sky projector. Just be prepared to update the theme in a year or two when your child’s interests inevitably leap to something else. “Having this little bonus room almost gives you the excuse to go wild,” Ginocchio says. “You don’t have to spend a ton of money or think, what’s going to be my return on investment? It’s a chance to have fun.”

How to pick the right mulch THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Compost or mulch? People often confuse the two, although each fulfills a different function in gardening. Which one you want depends on your needs. “Compost is used to feed crops; mulch is used to suppress weeds,” said Daniel McGrath, a horticulturist with Oregon State University Extension. “Compost is decomposed organic matter that is generally higher in nutrients and relatively low in carbon compared to mulch. Mulch is raw, un-decomposed organic matter.” Unlike compost, mulch is generally not mixed into the soil, he noted, but is applied 2 to 4 inches deep on top of the soil around a tree or shrub. Mulch has fewer nutrients and is not meant to replace fertilizer, which should be added as a supplement. Mulching does, however, maintain soil moisture, prevent most weed seeds from germinating and keep soil temperatures constant around plants, said Martha Smith, an extension horticulturist with the University of Illinois. Which kind of mulch you choose depends on what you’re growing and where. Some mulch, especially crushed rock and commercially made, color-enhanced mixtures, can beautify pathways, driveways and play areas. Good mulch is easy to apply and remove; is free of noxious weeds, insects and disease; and adds organic materials to the soil as it breaks down. “There are different byproducts used across the U.S. based on local supply,” Smith said. That includes pine needles in the South, hazelnut shells in the Northwest and buckwheat hulls in the Southeast. Some different mulch materials from which to choose: SHREDDED BARK, WOOD CHIPS AND SHAVINGS. Easy to spread and long-lasting, but can rob the soil of nitrogen and make landscape plants turn yellow. Look for “arborist chips” or ground-up tree branches that can make a good mulch and often are available for the asking from tree trimmers. Gravel and stones. Stone doesn’t have to be replaced like organic mulches, but it is expensive and will work into the ground. Stone is great for problem areas, though, like deep shade or in channels cut for stormwater runoff.

This photo shows arborist chips, a back to nature mulch in Langley, Wash. Like many other organic materials, the chips help maintain soil moisture, prevent weeds from sprouting and keeps soil temperatures relatively constant around plants. They can rob soil of nitrogen, however, and fertilizer should be added as a supplement.

BLACK PLASTIC AND STRAW. Both are commonly used in vegetable gardens and orchards. Plastics, however, prevent water from entering the soil, while straw contains grain seeds that can germinate. LEAVES. Shredded leaves provide good insulation and weed control, although they won’t allow much water to penetrate. Work them into the soil after they decompose. • Others include newspapers (unattractive unless shredded), peat moss (inexpensive but acidic), shredded rubber (doesn’t decompose but may smell) and landscape cloth (allows

water to infiltrate but must be tacked down). SOME MATERIALS TO AVOID: • Grass clippings, especially any containing herbicides. Clippings are better left on lawns where they break down quickly and return some nutrients to the soil. • Treated wood chips, charcoal and ash — especially barbeque briquettes and coal ash — may include compounds and chemicals harmful to pets and plants. • Sawdust packs tightly and is unsightly.
