Given the large � nancial commitment of a mortgage, it’s surprising that 44 per cent of Canadian homeowners either just accept whatever their lender o� ers at renewal, or don’t even remember how they renewed!
It’s tempting to just sleepwalk through the mortgage renewal process. But if you’re not doing even the slightest comparison shopping or negotiating, then you’re missing out on an opportunity to save thousands on
your mortgage. When your lender sends you a letter saying it’s time to renew… what that really means is that it’s time to get advice. Professional, independent advice.Get an expert second opinion on what you’re being o� ered. We’ll take a look, and compare it to what we can � nd out there as an alternative among the 50 or more lenders we have access to.
Got a mortgage renewal coming up in the next six months? Let’s start talking!* A recent CAAMP/
Maritz survey found that only 56% of renewers negotiated, 44% took the mortgage rate originally o� ered by their lender (39%) or just didn’t know how they renewed (5%) POLISH YOUR CREDIT NOW... FOR THE BEST RATES LATER.
Your credit rating is how lenders check to see how reliable you are about paying your debt. Your credit history is considered a reliable indicator of how you will manage
your mortgage and your � nances in the future. A less-than-stellar credit rating can a� ect your ability to get the best mortgage rates. We have some quick strategies to help you polish your credit, and to build (or rebuild) your credit over time. The pay-o� ? You’ll get access to better rates and more borrowing options. Shaky credit but need a mortgage now? If it’s possible, we can � nd a way!
Five ways to prepare for higher mortgage rates
Mortgage rates on the rise? No need to panic; what you need is some smart strategies to prepare. Here are our top 5 tips:
1. Don’t take the money. If you’re buying a new home, don’t be tempted to borrow the maximum amount your lender will allow.
2. Do more than the
minimum. If you have a variable-rate mortgage, build in some wiggle room by setting your payments higher than required.
3. Plan to pre-pay. Find out what your pre-payment privileges are and pay whatever you can.
4. Conduct a reality check. Find out what your mortgage balance will be at renewal and use our online mortgage calculator to project what your payments could be if you renewed at a higher rate. Start to ease up to your new payment level so at renewal, it’s like a merge lane!
5. Watch your bad debt. Be cautious about any credit card or other high-interest debt.Getting prepared for higher rates is not about panicking, it’s about being prudent. Talk to us. We can help you determine your best personal strategies to prepare for rising rates!

(NC) – � e best time to prepare your furnace for winter weather is before it hits. A� er all, you don’t want to be le� in the cold with a unit that doesn’t work properly. Not only will an inoper-able furnace be inconve-nient but it could lead to more expensive repairs that could have been avoided with an annual maintenance service.
Canadian Tire Home Services, which provides furnace maintenance services and repairs to consumers across Canada, shares the fol-
lowing tips you can use to prepare your furnace for the winter months.
Clean the furnace � lter: Overtime, a � lter be-comes clogged with dirt, dust and other debris which causes the furnace to work extra-hard to heat your home. To keep your furnace running ef-� ciently, be sure to clean or replace the � lter every 3 – 4 months. Replac-ing your � lters regularly may also create a cleaner air environment by removing allergens and bacteria from the air.
Clean furnace vents: Be sure to wipe down the exterior of all furnace vents to ensure they have a free � owing passage for air. If you have � oor vents, remove any furni-ture or other objects that may be blocking them.
Clean out the furnace room: � e area around your furnace should not double as a stor-age room. Remove any clutter and be sure to vacuum the area around your furnace to prevent dust from entering and obstructing the unit.
Bring in the experts: A trained professional can inspect your unit to ensure it is in working order. Canadian Tire Home Services’ heat-ing specialists provide year-round mainte-nance services that can improve your furnace’s performance, e� ciency and reliability.
For more information on how to ensure your furnace is ready for the winter season, visit your local Canadian Tire store or www.homeservices.canadiantire.ca.
Is your furnace winter ready? Tips to get your property ready for winter(NC) – Winter is just around the corner and it’s important to get the exterior of your house ready for the cold months ahead. Heavy snow, cold winds and icy weather can damage your property and lead to expensive repair bills down the road.To get your property winter ready, we’ve asked the experts at Canadian Tire Home Services to share some easy and important tips for home-owners:Inspect your roof: Inspect your roof with
binoculars to ensure your shingles are not turning up at the edges, worn or falling o� . Dam-age to shingles can cause melted snow and ice to seep into your home causing leaks and po-tentially expensive water damage.Clean your gutters: Remove any leaves, twigs and buildup from your gutters to allow water to run o� properly and prevent water damage.Put away outdoor furniture, playground equipment and trampo-line sets: Winter storms are o� en accompanied by high winds which can damage these items. Since you are unlikely to use outdoor furniture
and play equipment until the spring, look for a place to store them.Prepare your trees and garden: Protect young trees and plants by wrapping them in plastic guards or burlap. Doing so will extend their life and prevent animals and rodents from eating your shrubs during the colder months. Also be sure to remove fallen leaves and debris from your yard to prevent damage to the grass.For more information on how to prepare your property for the winter season, visit your local Canadian Tire store or www.homeservices.canadiantire.ca.

What happened to the backyard extravaganza?
Submitted by: Menno Dueck, Ask Menno Construction Consulting, Dueck Enterprises Inc. 250-426-5460

Construction Question:
What father wouldn’t want to make his daughter’s outdoor engagement party something she would never forget? Poor Todd wishes it was something he could forget.
Todd never did anything simple in his life; his motto was “bigger is always better”, and so the backyard extravaganza began. Soon, the whole back yard was a construction site. The carpenter Todd hired began by building the multi level deck with heaters, then moved on to the gazebo with inset hot tub and wind screens, and finally to the waterscape and fire pit. When it was completed, Todd patted himself on the back for a job well done and was secretly anticipating the accolades he knew would follow at the party.
The engagement party went off without a hitch on a lovely sunny day. Todd basked in his future in-laws’ gasps over his fabulous back yard. What was a few thousand dollars (more than a few, but who was counting today?) to make his little girl happy.
A year later problems started showing up, not in his daughter’s marriage, but the backyard extravaganza. First, the joints in
the hexagon decking started opening up, then the whole gazebo with the raised floor around the hot tub and the hot tub itself began to sag to one side, and the built in waterscape was losing water. When Todd looked for help from his carpenter, he was put on ignore.
The end result was no one could repair Todd’s $55,000 backyard
extravaganza. Todd and the carpenter had not had proper drawings done for the footings and support beams. Neither of them had taken out a permit. There were no building inspections done. Some of the materials used were not even the rights ones. In the end, the backyard extravaganza was dismantled and taken to the dump, except for the hot tub
that now resides quietly by itself in the backyard. Todd is still trying to forget about his costly mistake, but he is quick to tell everyone he’s pleased his daughter’s marriage didn’t end up the way of the backyard extravaganza. Yet.
(Based on a true story, name changed to protect the very sheepish Todd)
(NC) – With winter quickly approaching and more time be-ing spent inside the comforts of the home entertaining, spend-ing time with family or simply recovering from the busy summer, there is no better time to freshen up the interior of your home with a new coat of paint.
Painting is an easy, inex-pensive way to breathe new life into your home and to give your home new curb appeal with-out having to make any additional decorative or reconstructive changes.
Get prepared with the right supplies – Avoid making any last-minute runs to the store and ensure you have every-thing for a great paint job by working with the following checklist of painting essentials from Canadian Tire:
• Masking tape• Drop cloths
• Paint tray• Paint brushes, roll-
ers and roller cage• Paint extension
pole• Step ladder
Choosing a colour – There are many things to consider when choosing what colour will best suit the rooms and décor in your home. Start by considering the colour of your furnish-ings and how much light the room gets during the day – both will determine how the paint appears in the room. Room size and use are also important when deciding – light colours will make the room appear larger and more relaxing, while darker colours can make a room seem smaller and more intimate.
Have a favourite colour you want on the wall? A paint match system can match the colour of any item, fabric, piece of clothing, etc. to bring
Transform your home this season with a fresh coat of paint
your favourite hue to life on your walls.
Getting the right amount – A paint calcu-
lator will help determine how much paint you need for each room in your home.
