It’s that time of year again: project season. It’s time to open the windows, reimagine your space and get to work on the home improvement project you’ve been dreaming about all winter. This is an exciting time of year but before you jump in with booted feet and work-gloved hands, you need to do a little planning. “I’ve found the best results are achieved when you have a plan in mind,” says Carter Oosterhouse, one of America’s most recognized home-improvement experts featured on many popular TV shows on HGTV. “There’s certainly a time for spontaneity, but you should have a vision of your finished work and know where you’re going before you pick up that first tool.” This summer, Carter is partnering with the makers of Advil(R) to offer these preparation tips and ensure the project you’ve been dreaming about is set up for success. 4 Tips to Tackle any DIY Project Know when to rent and when to buy No matter what type of DIY project you’re planning, you’re going to need some tools. It doesn’t mean you need to own all of them. Smaller tools, such as screwdrivers or hammers, are worth buying because you’ll use them in the future. However, if you need larger tools like floor sanders, carpet cleaners and big power tools, you’re probably better off renting those instead. Before you make any big purchase, ask yourself if you’ll ever use it again. If the answer is no rent it from your local home improvement store. You’ll save the money and space. Don’t ignore your pain DIY projects can be hard work especially if they involve the repetitive use of muscles you may not commonly use. With these types of projects, soreness and pain are common during the work and afterwards. Don’t ignore the pain or allow it to affect your productivity, consider Advil(R). Advil(R) offers fast, long-lasting relief for several types of pain, including the muscle aches, backaches and joint pain common with DIY projects. Have the right tools on hand Some tools have a place in just about every project, so it’s a good idea to keep a collection of these often-used tools nearby. Your go-to tool collection should include a hammer, tape measure, drill, saw, sander, glue, level, and an assortment of screwdrivers. You won’t use all of these tools on every project but it’s a safe bet you can find a use for a few of them on any project. Safety first Your beautiful project won’t be worth your efforts if you get injured in the process. To keep yourself and your project partners healthy, remember these common DIY project safety practices when you tackle any DIY goal: • Always wear safety glasses and a mask when appropriate. • Situate ladders on level ground, avoid stepping on the top two rungs, and always use a spotter for taller climbs. • If you’re working on an electrical project make sure your environment is water and moisture free and wear rubber-soled shoes. • Keep your work area well-lit and clean. The better you can see, the better you can avoid accidents, slips and falls. • When using sharp objects, cut away from your body and never leave power tools unattended. • Always keep a first-aid kit and fire extinguisher nearby. No one likes to think the worst but it’s good to know you’re ready Completing a DIY project can be a rewarding experience that improves your home for years to come. So grab your tool belt and start planning, because making your dream projects a reality depends on you.

While the Raiders do seem to be getting better, though, the Broncos and Peyton Manning may be on their last legs. Over in the NFC, the Packers should be back on top of the conference while Minnesota and Adrian Peterson will look to make an impact after a combustible season last year. If you play fantasy football at all, I would highly consider taking Peterson in Norv Turner’s offense at number one overall. Then there’s the NFC East. While Dez Bryant is already engaged in fights during training camp and Tony Romo is trying to figure out the next best way to not choke at the end of the year, the Philadelphia Eagles, under head coach Chip Kelly, stole the Cowboys running back (DeMarco Murray) and will be looking to steal their place atop the NFC Easy standings as well. Kelly has been making his own headlines this offseason, continuing to dump star players like LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin, only to name a few, in order to create a team that is completely created in his essence. Some are questioning Kelly’s character after completely overhauling the roster that he required, but the third year head coach finally believes that he has the roster that he wants. That is, if Sam Bradford can stay on the field. The Seattle Seahawks competition just got a little easier and not just because they traded for tight end Jimmy Graham in the offseason. A mass exodus out of San Francisco took place that saw head coach Jim Harbaugh leave for Michigan and every good player on the team leave to either go play somewhere else or retire. The ‘9ers, as we knew them, are done, but look for the Seahawks to battle with the Packers for the top team in the NFC and the right to take on the Colts in Super Bowl 50. Football season may just be the best time of the year. America’s favorite sport is almost back and after some brief warm-up games, the pads and the helmets will be put on and buckled up and the 2015-’16 season will be underway. As mentioned, this season may already have its favorites and its underdogs, but 16 weeks is a very long time. As summer turns into fall and endless possibilities arise, sports fans everywhere are simply comforted in the fact that lights are back on and the stadium doors are back open. Football is finally back. • Follow Us on Twitter @heraldpub
