DIYing This Weekend? Be Careful!

Easter weekend is peak time for getting started on spring maintenance. And according to a new study, getting hurt in the process. Here's how to stay safe this holiday.

Careful, guys! Photos: Getty

Who knew that Easter could be scarier than Halloween? A new study from Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals shows that there have been 16% more patients admitted during the holiday weekend than any other day.

Why? Well, it's easy to see. People are home with their families, the weather's improving -- isn't it the perfect time to stretch your legs and say "Why yes I will go on the roof and try and patch up that mysterious leak!"

If you're one of the many that will be taking the plunge this weekend, listen up: Aside from all the other reasons to stay safe, you'll really want to pay extra attention. Who wants to end up in a crowded emergency room? Instead...

Practice DIY safety by: Always double-checking that appliances are OFF when you plug them in.
Otherwise, your machine -- like one writer's drum sander -- might take off across the room (and maybe head after you, if you're especially unlucky!)

Practice DIY safety by: Keeping the right gear on hand.
Safety glasses? Check. Work gloves? Check. Dust mask, face shield, helmet, sound muffs? If you don't have them, get them! If you need to stock up, get the full equipment 101 first.

Practice DIY safety by: Never disable safety devices.
Yes, we can hear you. "I don't need the blade guard, I've done this a million times!" Don't. Just don't. When operating a table saw or any other extremely sharp tools, please take the extra few seconds to work within the safety constraints.

Practice DIY safety by: Having a plan.
Not just "Run!!". Only two-thirds of American households have a fire escape plan and while we're not implying that you're going to set your house on fire this weekend, it wouldn't hurt to be prepared just in case...someone else sets your house on fire.

Practice DIY safety by: Brushing up on ladder safety.
Don't just hop on -- remember to place it carefully so that if you do fall, it won't be backyards onto a staircase. And for goodness sakes, wear the right shoes and check the locks.

Cleaning Out the Closet With "Pawn Stars"

Filed under: Storage & Organization, Know-How

Wonder what the junk in your closet is worth? Our writer got a crash course from "Pawn Stars"'s Rick Harrison... and found out just how much money she's sitting on.

My mother always says that she's going to leave all of her possessions to my brother when she dies, because she knows that I'll sell everything once she's out of the picture.

Look: Sentimentality isn't my strong suit. I prefer new to old and money to no money, thanks. I'm not one of those people who think that whatever it is inside that old hope chest is going to get me so rich that I'll be able to dive into a pile of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck in the "Duck Tales" opener.

But I took the opportunity to enlist the expert help of Rick Harrison from The History Channel's smash hit show "Pawn Stars". He knows all about finding hidden gems -- from the inventory in his Las Vegas pawn shop to the show itself.

Courtesy of The History Channel

"I pitched "Pawn Stars" out for four years," says Harrison. "Everyone told me that no one wants to see a show about four fat guys in a pawn shop."

Now they're the number one show on cable. You just never know.

So, I sent some old junk I found in my parents' house to get Harrison's expert opinion as to whether or not I can quit my job and spend the rest of my days laying on my couch and keeping up with the Kardashians (it's a full time job in itself, really).

Here's what I found...

http://xml.channel.aol.com/xmlpublisher/fetch.v2.xml?option=expand_relative_urls&dataUrlNodes=uiConfig,feedConfig,localizationConfig,entry&id=997770&pid=997769&uts=1303855522

What Treasures are Hiding in Your Closet?

Remember when cameras had film? Yeah, me either. But apparently, they did. This movie camera probably documented countless family memories, but who cares? I know what those jerks looked like. My genius brain stores all the documentation I need (there's no "off" switch).

"This is a mass-produced camera," says Harrison. "They probably produced millions of them so it's not really that valuable."

Think about it like this: if it's something that was inexpensive and accessible to the masses, it's probably not going to be worth anything.

"Other cameras from the 1960s, like an original Nikon that's in really good shape can be worth up to $2,000," says Harrison. "But something like this isn't going to get you very far."

What Treasures are Hiding in Your Closet?

So you're sitting on the couch, eating your feelings in the form of a pint of Ben & Jerry's, and you see a commercial for something that is "valuable," "priceless," and "collectible." Limited time order, they say. Buy now, they urge. Only 42 easy payments of $19.99, they promise. Put down the phone. This junk isn't going to be worth anything, ever.

"When you buy something that's already deemed a collectible when it's brand-new, it's never going to be worth anything," says Harrison. "It's the things that people never thought would end up being worth money that end up being the most valuable. I've sold Zippo lighters for over $3,000 and people carry those around in their pockets every day."

The lesson here? You should always be skeptical when someone shouts from the rooftops how rare and collectible an item is, especially when it's on a TV commercial on Lifetime at 2AM.

If only my grandfather had known this when he bought this sculpture. And the 30 or so other ones we have lying around the house.

What a financial wizard he was.

What Treasures are Hiding in Your Closet?

When looking for antiques, remember this: just because something is old doesn't mean it's valuable. Need an example? Take a look at Joan Rivers.

"I have three billion-year-old rocks in my backyard, but no one's willing to buy them off of me," Harrison laughs.

In other words: don't make assumptions.

The pupils in my eyes had already turned to dollar signs when we unearthed this old phone from our crawl space. This thing doesn't even have buttons! It looks like something that would be in an old Western movie, or at least in a restaurant that's trying to manufacture old-school charm.

I will be rolling in dough, like a baker (is that an expression? It should be).

Wrong.

"These types of things aren't worth as much as you would think," says Harrison. "They're definitely collectible, but you have to remember that every house had one, so they're not that rare."

What Treasures are Hiding in Your Closet?

The word "rare" isn't always synonymous with "big money." Your weird cousin might collect unusual bocce balls, but just because something is rare or strange doesn't automatically mean it's worth anything.

"I'm sure dinosaurs turds are pretty rare, but I don't imagine that they're worth a lot," laughs Harrison.

This cash register was stationed on the bar in my grandparents' restaurant for years. "They would call this a candy store cash register, because the highest amount on here is $1," says Harrison.

Because it's functioning, in good shape, easy to clean up, and in relatively high demand, my ship has finally come in.

BOOM!

What Treasures are Hiding in Your Closet?

Total value: $1,720

But out of four old, seemingly rare items that I dug up, only one was worth the effort involved to drag them out of the basement.

Harrison says that this is something that happens all of the time.

"People always seem to think that grandma's wedding ring has a perfect diamond in it," says Harrison. "When I tell them it's not, they get mad at me. I have to say to them, 'I'm sorry your grandpa was cheap,'" laughs Harrison.

Is this really all that surprising? Unrealistic expectations make the world go 'round.

Moral of the story? I'm not getting rich any time soon.

Play 'Guess the Gadgets'

I've noticed that there are two reasons why some kitchen gadgets need explanation. One reason is that they are use-specific for things I don't do or find unnecessary; the second reason is that their designs are so fresh it's hard to see through to their utilitarian nature at first glance. Here are ten such gadgets. Utilitarian yet unique, can you guess what they are? And, yes, some you might find appealing whereas others completely unnecessary.

1. The ONE Teakettle is an all-in-one boil & serve vessel that has thermochromic inks that appear only when the water inside boils.
2. Joseph Joseph's Compact Herb Chopper; the chopper is stored inside the cutting mat ($25).
3. G'Rabbit Pepper Mill ($28).
4. Chef'n Silicone Basting Brush ($15)
5. Juicy Salif Citrus Squeezer ($96)
6. OXO's Smooth Edge Can Opener ($27)
7. Pig Cooking Lid, a silicone, multipurpose lid with snout steam-escape holes ($18)
8. Food Fresh Baking Soda Holder Refrigerator Thermometer ($11)
9. Banana Slicer ($10)
10. Lid Pot Clip, which clips to any pot to keep its lid handy ($8)

Build a Natural Privacy Fence With Trees & Hedges

Filed under: seasonal, landscaping, outdoor, Outdoors

Forget the picket fence: These all-natural options can get higher, look better and make your neighbors jealous (while hiding your backyard from them). Here's how to make it happen in your yard.

CascadeAndSTAN, Flickr

One of my favorite springtime activities is doing the neighborhood garden walk to see what new and wonderful things people are doing with their yards. It's a great way to gather new ideas for my own home and a bit of eye-candy that's not too out of reach. Recently, I've noticed that people are choosing privacy hedges and privacy shrubs in addition to or instead of fences.
Instead of knocking on doors and asking people how they got the look, I turned to J. Mark White, ASLA, president of DC-based GardenWise for his expert advice on privacy hedges and shrubs.

While we often think of fences as the standard way to create privacy, they are not necessarily the best choice. Fences are an expensive solution and are restricted in height by local codes -- typically six feet which often isn't enough to achieve the desired privacy or shield your view of unsightly surroundings.

White suggests strategically placed hedges, trees and shrubs to create a privacy screen. Your privacy hedge will look different depending on the amount of time you have, your climate, housing situation and preference, but there are options for everybody.

If you have a few years to grow the privacy screen, White suggests going with bamboo -- which also serves as a sound barrier. Running Bamboo is one of the fastest growers on earth, reaching heights of 25-30 feet in just a few years. But before you plant, beware: Running Bamboo is highly invasive, and it will take over your garden space if you don't control the spread of its roots. Mark suggests installing underground barriers 24-36" deep to successfully prevent the roots from traveling away from your bamboo area; rolls of thick plastic for this purpose can be purchased at any garden center."

A stunning bamboo privacy fence.

If you need something less invasive, choose Green Panda Bamboo. Green Panda is a clump form of bamboo and has slow spreading roots. Plus, the clumps are attractive and can be used as a focal point.

If you live in a colder climate, Black Bamboo is a strong option. Native to Taiwan and China, it can withstand temperatures to -4F. The new canes emerge green and turn ebony black within two years.

Say you just don't have a few years to wait and need privacy, now. Maybe one morning you wake up to find the cute home next door is being leveled to make way for a much larger home and your six foot high fence might not provide the level of privacy it once did. In this case, you'll want to keep your existing fence and add height above it. White suggests the Upright European Hornbeam, which is a stately tree with gray branches and trunk. It has glossy green foliage and produces interesting strings of yellow-brown fruits in fall. It's also a tough plant that will tolerate urban conditions.

Tall trees that are pruned high are also great for small spaces -- and leave homeowners the option to plant under the tree, adding more visual interest. Some other small upright ornamental trees to consider for a tight situation: Okame Cherry and the Japanese Snowbell. The Okame Cherry is one of spring's earliest flowering trees, producing gorgeous pink blossoms. The Japanese Snowbell has dark green foliage in summer and turns mildly yellow to red in fall. Flowers are white; less than an inch wide and bell-shaped with a mild fragrance. With three to six flowers on a stalk, they're extremely beautiful.

Corbis

If you're thinking even longer term, upright evergreens will serve you well. Some good choices include the Emerald Green Arborvitae. White tells us that "They belong to the cypress family, grow to 14 feet high and three to four feet wide, and can be easily pruned in spring -- before the new growth appears -- to fit your garden space." The Emerald Green Arborvitae has an upright shape and it stays dark green year round. If you're not worried about space, the Red-tipped Photinia will provide complete privacy. It is a broad leaf evergreen that flowers in the spring. If needed, this beautiful tree can be pruned in the spring after it flowers, to accommodate tighter situations.

When I was growing up, we had holly growing all along the back fence. White says that this is a great choice for small spaces and can be kept pruned tightly as a more formal hedge.

A well planned privacy fence also functions as the backdrop to the rest of your garden, adding color, texture and new scents to your outdoor space. White recommends that, space providing, you stagger the shrubs, using different heights for a more natural effect. He explains that this is also a good strategy in case a plant dies because it is less obvious.

"The back row should have the tallest plants -- that will create the screen. The middle row should have medium-height plants, such as a smaller deciduous shrubs like the Annabelle Hydrangea, which will offer texture contrast and offer summer color. The front row should be composed of your shortest plants and evergreen ground cover, such as variegated Liriope, which is grass-like and has the added feature of a late summer spiky lavender colored flower," explains White. "Another striking effect I like is to use the purple coneflower and the Russian sage against the pendulous white blossoms of the hydrangea. Unity in an outside space is the best way to quickly provide a stimulating visual."

Protect Your Home With... Dinosaurs?

Filed under: Living Spaces

Home security system feeling a little stale? A Japanese company's been trying to use plastic dinosaurs to stand guard. Can you imagine?



Check out this piece from our friends at Charles & Hudson!

We stumbled upon this little interesting little tidbit stemming from this year's CES and thought we'd share with you: how'd you like a pet robot dinosaur as your home security?

Plastic Pals via Charles & Hudson

Back in 2002, Japanese robotics company TMSUK developed the "Banryu" (or "Guard Dragon") line of robots intended for home use. The prehistoric crime predators were designed to patrol homes and photograph would-be intruders using a camera installed in their snouts, and some were designed to even detect carbon monoxide in your home! The robots supposedly automatically patrolled buildings, and, in an emergency, could be remote-controlled to fire fight in an early stage.

Available in two styles (triceratops and stegasuarus), and could go up to 15 meters a minute to chase down intruders in your abode. It should also be noted that they were designed to be controlled with a mobile device -- including a mobile phone. Do you remember what cell phones were like in 2002? We do, and the fact that they could control anything more than calls or maybe a text is mostly mindblowing.

At the staggering price of $18,000 US, obviously these items were not the utmost in affordable home security technology. Some models were available for rent as well, but unfortunately the Banryus didn't catch on as the next best thing since guard dogs. It bears stating that in 2002, home-robotics were just beginning to become possible, and perhaps the "trend" of robotic pets with purposes were a wee bit overestimated at the time.

Still, can you imagine? A pet dinosaur robot home defender -- without all the mess of an actual pet? Only in yesterday's future.
