Hi Everyone,

Last Saturday May 26th I held a Royal LePage Connect Shelter Foundation Garage Sale at my home in Guelph. We raised $2,000.00 for Shelter. 100% of the proceeds will be shared equally between two Women's Shelters, Juliet's Place in Toronto and the Women in Crisis/Marrianne's Place in Guelph.

A Big Thank You to all those who donated from Cobourg, Whitby, Toronto, Milton and Guelph and to all those Guelph residents who supported the cause through shopping and donating.

As a newer Guelph resident now, I so appreciated the support and sense of community.

Many Thanks,
Barb Storey

Avoiding Moisture Problems in the Home

There are many hidden sources of moisture in your home that can lead to serious problems, such as mould. To keep moisture levels in check, consider these tips:
• Bathrooms are an obvious source of moisture build-up. Contractor and TV personality Mike Holmes recommends keeping the fan going for at least a half hour after a shower.
• Check regularly for water infiltration around window and door sills, as well as other intakes into the home, such as dryer vents and cable wiring.
• Determine the humidity level in your home. According to the
Environmental Protection Agency, it should be 30-60%. (Keep in
mind that humidity may vary greatly from room to room.)
• Regularly inspect caulking around sinks, tubs and showers. Even a tiny break can cause water to leak gradually into the wall or floor, causing damage you may not notice for months.
• Clean up wet spills as soon as possible. On hardwood floors
especially, water can seep through and become trapped.
• Repair leaking faucets, toilets and pipes immediately. A drip can
quickly become a shower.

Being mindful of moisture today can help you avoid potentially high repair bills later on.

Types of Lighting for The Home

You probably don't think buying a lighting fixture for a room is all that complicated. It isn't. However, it does require you to consider which types of lighting you may need. According to the Lighting Association, there are three types:

1. General lighting. By far the most common, this is the type of lighting that is designed to create a functional brightness that spreads throughout a room. A good example is a main ceiling light.

2. Task lighting. As the name implies, this type provides extra light
needed for a specific task, such as working at a desk or chopping
onions on a kitchen counter top. A bedside lamp used for reading is another example of task lighting.

3. Accent lighting. This type is designed to set off a particular feature of a room, such as a painting. It creates some practical light, but its main purpose is to add to the overall décor.

When choosing lighting for a room, it's important to consider these three types. First, decide how best to light the space generally. Then think about any special lighting you might need for specific functions, such as reading. Finally, consider how accent lighting might add to the overall look.
