Summer may be rapidly approaching its end, but don't worry; we're always here to help out with your home projects, whatever the weather. This month, we've got some hot projects and cool tips; from composting, to deck building, to setting up your own home theater.

Speaking of decks, be sure to enter our "Great Backyard Giveaway," presented by the California Redwood Association. One lucky winner will receive the awesome grand prize that includes materials to build your own 400 square foot redwood deck, a five burner stainless steel gas barbecue, an accessory kit filled with all sorts of neat goodies and a portable ice maker. You can enter by clicking on the "Great Backyard Giveaway" icon at the home page of our website at onthehouse.com. But be sure to enter before the contest ends on August 22! Who knows - maybe it will be your name that James and Morris will announce as the winner, LIVE on our August 25 radio show!

Also in this month's issue of On The House Express, the California Redwood Association offers some great information about how you can live green by using redwood.

QUIKRETE: PATIO PAVERS

The development of elaborate outdoor living spaces is a trend that has continued to rise along with the growth of the decorative concrete industry. By laying patio pavers to create unique hard surface features, using concrete coatings to add elegance to otherwise dull concrete slabs or installing amenities like concrete countertops, fireplaces and barbeque pits, outdoor spaces like patios and porches have become a favorite place for homeowners to entertain with style. For project inspiration, visit www.quikrete.com and select “QUIKRETE™ At Home.”
