Visit the city of Airdrie's Website for all the latest city activities. There are helpful tips for going green, and what steps the city is taking towards this goal.

Another great part of the site is looking at the planning department. This section shows neighbourhood development plans, population growth and even how many cars travel in each community.

Is it grimy, moldy, discolored, or flaking? Time to get busy.
Cheap fix: Rent a power washer at your local home center (cost: $75 to $100 a day) and blast away. If the siding looks really terrible, though, call a pro. He can deploy a more high-powered machine that uses heat and possibly chemicals, as well as pressure. Cost: $300 to $500.

Slightly less cheap fix: If your siding is wood and there's only minimal flaking, you can probably get away with patch painting the trouble spots (cost: about $1,000 to $2,000 if you hire a pro). That's far cheaper than repainting the whole house.

Make the fix last longer: Trim back those monster "foundation" plants that were lovingly installed in the Eisenhower administration. No foliage should be closer than three feet from your siding.

PAY IT FORWARD...........NATIONAL FRIENDSHIP DAY. Show those around you how much you appreicate their friendship.

Some folks here in a drive-thru buy the coffee for the car behind them. The chain continues as each car passes through. What a wonderful way to just say "Thank you" and "Go in Kindness" something so simple but could turn someones days around.

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY

Plug Your Window Leaks

WINDOWS

If they're sticking or you see bubbled paint around them, water is likely getting in. 

Cheap fix: Assuming your windows still open and shut, just caulk them from the outside -- a do-it-yourself job. Buy an exterior-grade caulk such as DAP Dynaflex 230 (cost: $5 a tube, enough for one or two windows). Follow directions on askthebuilder.com. 

Slightly less cheap fix: Replace only the windows that are in the worst shape: those that can't be fully closed and have visible cracks between the frame and the wall. For replacement costs for various kinds of windows, see the table at right. 

Make the fix last longer: Each fall, check the existing caulking for shrinkage, cracking, or flaking. Recaulk as necessary
