You &

Health
With school in full swing for
several weeks now and parents
juggling extracurricular sched-
ules, maintaining a healthy
lifestyle is more important than
ever at school and in the home.
Even with busy school sched-
ules, it’s important to eat and
drink healthfully.
Incorporating healthy eating
and drinking habits into the fam-
ily routine can be easy — and
rewarding. For instance, with a
few simple substitutions parents
can transform a typical packed
lunch into a delicious yet nutri-
tional powerhouse. And when
it’s done properly, kids won’t
miss a thing. A few tips:
• Swap white bread and tor-
tillas for whole wheat.
• Replace high-calorie
spreads with lower-calorie ver-
sions, and/or mustard.
• Think about increasing fla-
vor and texture with healthful
additions. Layering veggies on a
sandwich really amps up its

two-day blaze that kills between

cult situation might not be there.

LEO (July 23 to August 22)
An opportunity to move a long-

Consequently, kitchens take a lot

There are two possible
sources of dampness in a home.
It can be generated internally
from bathing, cooking or even a
humidifier set at an unreason-
ably high level. It also can come
from outdoors through a leaky
foundation, slab or roof. High
indoor humidity levels are most
common in newer houses,
which are more airtight.
In older homes, the source of
dampness is usually from out-
doors. When a house is built
over several different types of

several additions built at differ-

Just to be certain the damp-

internal factors, check for any
water leaks around the toilets. A
common place for leaks is
where the tank mounts to the

has lots of advice for homeowners
who want to take the plunge into
turning their homes from blah
beige boxes into stylish havens.
Here are her top tips on how
to get started on those projects
you’ve been putting off around
the house:
• “Everyone seems to live in
beige and cream,” Gorder says.
“They think that it’s safe and
that their homes will have more
resale value. But it’s one of the
biggest mistakes you can make.
Paint is one of the least expen-
sive ways to transform a house,
and it’s very easy to change if
you don’t like it.”
• “Don’t over-think the design
process,” Gorder says. “Fear” is
one of the biggest obstacles most
homeowners face when it comes
to starting design projects in their
homes. “They think that if they
don’t have a room that looks like
it came from Page 16 of a Pottery
Barn catalog, it won’t look right,
so they get scared and end up
doing nothing but sabotaging
themselves.”
• Use the resources at your
fingertips. “There are no excus-
es anymore with the availability
of the Internet,” Gorder says.
“There are so many people
doing so many different things
now. You can find amazing fur-
niture and accessories.”

Mountain West Sales Warms Hearth and Home
By Crystal-Starr Caward©
There’s more than the scent
of roasting chiles in the air.
There’s a crisp edge to the
breezes that turns our thoughts
to the crackle of a warm, fra-

homes. Mountain West Sales in
Albuquerque is a family-owned
and operated retailer of quality
hearth products, as well as a
huge array of other items which
can be found on their website
www.mountainwestsales.net.
They carry wood, pellet and gas
stoves, inserts and fireplaces; as
well as a complete line of chim-
ney products.

“There are certain products and
application methods that we have
learned don’t work well,” says
Oertel. Professional Coatings
prefers the old-fashioned method
of applying stucco with a hand
trowel. Though the process is
labor intensive, hand troweling
provides the tightest bond
between the stucco and substrate
in contrast to other methods such
as spraying. These other methods
also allow the thinning or stretch-
ing of stucco, a no-no in Oertel’s
book. “We exceed New Mexico
state codes and manufacturers’
highest specifications,” he
explains. “We do not cut corners,
and we do not stretch the materi-
als in any way.”
Professional Coatings special-
izes in complete stucco restora-
tions of homes and yard walls
with exterior wall space ranging
in size from a minimum 1,500
square feet to well over 18,000
square feet. While many stucco
applicators focus mainly on the
bid, Oertel takes a consultant
approach with clients. Oertel is
dedicated to spending enough
time on-site to make an assess-
ment and consult with the client.
Unlike many others in the busi-
ness, “I won’t just tell you what
you want to hear,” says Oertel. “I
propose what is needed for a last-
ing restucco.”
