A common mistake in ishwasher installation is )cating the unit adjacent )an angled corner sink, iaking it impossible ta :nd'in front of the sink id load the dishwasher. It is important ta follow kanufacturers' recom- iendations with respect ta ie operation of*he appli- ice., Dishwashers need ta loaded ta take full ad- ntage of their capacity. xr example, one model in take fulI-size- plates« in th the upper and lower ýks. If a dishwasher is )t loaded properly, it can ;ult in poor washing ac- nj, requiring a re-wash of ýentire load', and time id energy wasted. An automatic dishwash- uses an average of 11 -16 flions of hot water for ih complete cycle. Stud- sshow that this is Iess )t water than would be re- ired if dishes were washed by hand. Some dishwashers offer the option of a low-energy wash cycle for, handling Ioads that are normally soiled. This cycle includes a main wash and two ninses and thus minimizes the amount of water required to do the job. Another energy-saving tip is to allow the dishes to air-dry in the dishwasher, rather than power-drying the load. FINOINO THE BEST LOCATION for a'dish washer can increase the convenience of thishuman and mechanicalenergy-saviîng.appli- ance, acwordi ng to The Maytag Company. *A commonmtae, in dishwasher installation is locating the unit adjacent to an angled corner slnk, making it impossible to stand in front of the sink and Ioad the dishwasher. The location of the above dishwasher illus- trates one solution to this probîem. t The first concern, is the local by-laws relating to fencing on residential. properties. fencing cannot be con- s'tructed to 'a height greater than 2m in your side or rear yards. Frýont yard. fencing _is~ restricted to a height of lm. Regulations for sWunming Pools. are Iengthly and a copy of these regulations, may be -obtained from, the Municipal offices or by calling your local fence company for infor- matio n. Another step in feni- cing is getting your ,neighbours- to agree o4, the materialito bDe uüsed; the design of the fence and most important the cost factor. - Chain link fencing can Lo0,ck security into yo urhomie start from $5.O/ft. and Up. Wood fencing from $11.O/ft. and- up, both depencling on the material and design used. Property boundary inscan.be determined by neighbours measuring- out the distance from their house lot plans and as long as they are in agreement costly sur- veyors.can be avoided. Deciding on which fence company to use depends on the' locality, dependability, -a.nd quality of the fence beingbuilt. If you are construc- ting your owýn fence and would- like some tips, local lumber stores carry folders with in- formation, or contact your local fence com- pany. An important tip. Provincial Sales Tax is included -in the price when a quote for in-. stalled fencing is given. Don' 't be taken for an ex- tra 7 per cent of the total bill. Greg Hunt Whitby Fence No matter where you liye or what type of dwell- ing you have, security is a major concern for today's homeowner. A visit to a lo- cal hardware or specialty store will provide an idea of the wide variety of locks and other safety devices aval lable. In general, cyl- inder locks provide the least security, while a rim lock is sufficient against most tampering. In most cases, however, the dead- boit lock provides the most protection. According ta the new Ortho book 'How to Re- place,& Instaîl Doors & Windows," installing a deadbolt lock is as easy as' following the manufactur- er's instructions. A dead- boit assembly consists of a shaft af hardened steel that, when turned by a key or knob, enters a hole drilled through the door jamb and into the trimmer stud behind it. The manu- facturer's specifications will deterînine the size and depth of the hale inta the trimmer stud. Place the deadbolt abave the doarknob 5<) it is cen- tered àlong the door edge. If the deadbalt docs not fît into the hale completely. check that it is nat hitting the strike plate and that the hole is deep enough. One final thought about deadbolt locks. If you use one which requires a key. fire officiais recommend that you keep the key hung near the door. In case of a fire, this wiIl make it easier ta locate the key. t 184 BOND ST.
