Others yearn to be more like Vila - TV handyman Bob Vila, that is. If you have outdoor home renovation renovation projects, from building a deck to fixing the roof to painting the house, it only makes sense to wait for nice weather. After waiting all winter, you're probably raring to go oh that outdoor project. Let's start with the assumption assumption you know how to do the job. When in doubt get advice from a professional, professional, or hire one to work with you (if not in place of you). If you're determined enough to do it yourself just remember that safety doesn't take a vacation, even in the summer. Make sure that safety fits in your designs and blueprints. First, you don't want "fall" to come early. To avoid toppling when using a ladder, rest the feet on a solid spot. Keep the ladder at the proper angle from the wall. Measure the ladder, ladder, and figure a quarter of that height; that should be the distance from the feet to the wall. Before carrying materials up make sure you have a place to hook or rest them. Never overreach or stand on the top rung, or you could lose your . balance. Speaking of heights, working on the roof of your home or cottage is anything but casual. If you do have to go up on the roof, be aware of your footing and wear appropriate shoes, ones that will help grip the surface. For roofs, decks, railings and oth-. er jobs involving structural integrity, have a sound plan and make certain you know what you're doing. It's one thing to foul up a cosmetic job - you can always change a paint colour, But if your rail collapses while you lean on it you could be coloured black and blue. When working with power tools and flammable substances, take extra care. Check that electric power tools have ground wires attached or are double insulated to avoid electric shock. .As for flammables like paint, varnish, varnish, strippers, and other chemicals, from heat sources (like the furnace). Fix-up projects are so much more pleasant when you can avoid breathing breathing in paint fumes, getting woodchips in your eye or a splinter in your finger. finger. Use safety equipment like goggles goggles to protect your eyes, a dust mask tion with both you and your house still in one piece, consider it a victory. You deserve to sit back and admire your handiwork. After all, to others it may just be a house, but to you it's ■your castle - make that your villa.

Your trusted neighbours will keep an eye on your home, but otherwise, the fewer people who know your . home will be empty the better. Pack the car in the garage, and keep the luggage in the trunk. It won't be as obvious that you're away, and your bags won't be in plain sight - again, a tempting target for thieves - when you stop on the road. Before heading off, check your car's fluid levels, the belts, the hoses, and the tires. You don't want your car breaking down anytime, let alone on your holidays. Scenic routes and back roads are terrific for finding adventures, but be prepared to wait a long time for help if you ran into car trouble. Towing can be a real "drag" unless unless you take a few precautions. If you're using a trailer, make sure it's in proper condition (tires, hitches, tail lights, wheel bearings and frame), and that it's hitched securely to your vehicle. Don't overload your trailer. Excessive weight wears it down, and makes handling and braking tougher. If the load is heavy, a sway control control device keeps the trailer from weaving or wobbling. For heavier trailers, a load equalizer hitch keeps your trailer and vehicle level. If you're unfamiliar with towing a trailer, practise* turning and parking first. Have someone guide you when your're backing up. And in general, drive more slowly and keep a greater distance than usual between you and the traffic. Travelling with other cargo outside outside the car can be equally tricky. If you're carrying a bicycle or a canoe on the roof, for instance, use only the proper racks and attachments. You don't want your load teetering like a plate of food at a buffet. This isn't a lecture on smoking (hey, you're on vacation), but if you light up in the car be careful. A stray ash can distract you (not to mention burning the upholstery or your pants). And put the butt out in the We'd like to tBje ^amtihan ^tat^man WVeJM.W 5? P»it> Wfdnnday,April 27.
