Today's homes are filled with components that weren't so common years ago. They make your home more efficient and less work. You can't ignore them entirely, though. So, as you plan your chores and projects for the coming year, here are some to keep in mind.
These ancient materials are more popular than ever. Not all stones need sealing. Ask your stone pro. Buy the best sealers you can afford. Grit and acids are the biggest threats to marble and limestone. So:
Clean surfaces with a few drops of neutral cleaner, stone soap (available at hardware stores) or a mild liquid dish detergent and warm water. Go easy on the cleaner or soap, because too much can leave a film. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, or ones with lemon, vinegar or other acids.
Closed, or sealed, crawl spaces are touted as efficient - and healthy - alternatives to the traditional vented crawl spaces. They're certainly drier and cleaner and brighter, so you shouldn't mind sticking your head under your house from time to time. And you absolutely should, experts say. Don't ignore this chore.
Check regularly to make sure no moisture is getting in. If there's a dehumidifier, make sure it's working.
Look for condensation. And "If you see standing water, you have a real problem," Charlotte, N.C., home inspector Bob Boucek said.
More complete inspections and repairs are best left to experts. Check your attic, too.
Vinyl windows are tough, and extremely popular. They should get a yearly inspection.
Clean window tracks of debris, says Burt Harold, a rep for Pella Windows. Make sure weather stripping is sound and making proper contact. Replace as needed.
When cleaning, never use abrasives. That can damage the vinyl skin of the window. If you need to lubricate a track, use pure silicone spray, not WD-40.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for caulking. When washing windows, be cautioned that bleach can discolor dark vinyl colors. And, remember, window films can void your window warranty.
It won't rot. It holds paint. And it's very durable. It's the siding of choice on many new homes Often called HardiePlank, it's almost trouble-free. Still, inspect annually.
If caulking fails, water can penetrate the joint and damage the wood and framing behind the siding. If you're going to check your home's exterior less often, says Charlotte home inspector Dave Hahn, use caulk rated for at least 20 years, and longer is better. Choose a quality silicone or polyurethane.
Minor dents can be filled with auto body putty. Follow the instructions on the can and, just as if you were working on a car, don't stint on the sanding. Uneven spots will show. For larger areas, cut out damaged fiberglass with a grinder. Repair with mat and resin from fiberglass repair kit. Prime, then paint. with 100 percent acrylic.
Stainless steel is hot for kitchens because it looks good, resists rust and cleans easily. The biggest complaint about stainless is that the fridge shows all those little handprints.
Clean with a specialty product such as 3M Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish. Such products create a barrier against fingerprints.
Avoid products with chlorine; mild abrasives can scratch. Read labels.
There are six times as many connections that can leak, six times as many shower heads that can clog. Check regularly and clean with CLR or some other solution. You can use white vinegar to clear a shower head that has been clogged with mineral deposits. Place vinegar in a plastic bag, enclose the head and secure the bag to the shower neck with a rubber band or twist tie. Let stand for at least two hours.
Early on, composite decking was billed as a trouble-free - and chemical-free - alternative to treated lumber. You still have to clean it.
The best way to prevent stains is to sweep or hose off regularly.
To wash, use a commercial composite deck cleaner. Jomax is one popular brand.
For stubborn stains, allow solution to sit for a few minutes and scrub with a bristle brush.
Be careful with power washers. Some decking manufacturers recommend against them, and using one can void your warranty. Other makers suggest smaller washers with no more than 1300 PSI, with the fan tip no closer than 8 to 10 inches from the surface.
The best known maker of composite decking, Trex, recommends that you wash your deck twice a year, in spring and fall, to prevent mold and mildew.
If you've invested in expensive technology consider protecting your investment with regular service by a professional. Builders, inspectors and other experts say that's always wise. Don't let the contract lapse.
Follow the manufacturer's advice for care and service.
Owner's manuals are online. Just check the product for a model name or number, and go to the company site. The manual should answer most questions. Many have helpful pictures, and there's usually a toll-free hotline on which an expert can answer questions.

Growing number of film, TV productions shooting in Jefferson Parish
A new building is going up on Huey P. Long Avenue in Gretna -- but it's not permanent. Rather, it's part of a set for a new movie and one of the tell-tale signs of the growing number of film and television productions taking place in Jefferson Parish.
"We continuously get to work, and we love it," said Jefferson Parish resident Valerie Ryan, who works as a location manager for local productions.
Right now, Ryan is working on a new TV cop show called "Common Law."
"They love our people," she said. "They love the food -- of course, who wouldn't like the food here? But they really like being down here."
What they also like are the incentives. Along with the 30 percent filming tax credit provided by the state, Jefferson Parish is also offering an additional 3 percent cash rebate -- the only parish in the state to do so.
"It definitely gives Jefferson Parish an advantage," said Jennifer Van Vrancken, Jefferson Parish's Film Liaison.
That rebate translates into big bucks. This year alone, the parish issued eight film incentive rebate checks, totaling $347,739.
However, those eight productions spent a combined total of $15,398,396 in Jefferson Parish. It's not just the three percent rebate that productions find attractive here-- it's also what they call the "visual diversity" of Jefferson Parish.
"We have beaches in Grand Isle, swamps in Lafitte, beautiful homes in Old Metairie," said Van Vrancken, "but it's the bottom line, the dollars that we offer them back, for being here."
Those dollars are helping the Elmwood area of Jefferson Parish become a production hub.
"It was the place to be for production. We moved into a building that's owned by another production company, called Moxie Media, so we're kind of brother/sister companies," said Will Morrow of Full Motion Productions. "It seems every time I go down a different street, I'm seeing a production company pop up."
Those productions dollars are spreading to other businesses, including a 15 percent increase in business for Stan Benoit. He owns "Hose Guys," a hydraulic hose company, which works on pyrotechnics for movies in Jefferson Parish.
"Who would think that a hydraulic hose company would have that much to offer to a movie set or a movie studio, in filming movies? It really surprised me," Benoit said.
There were 24 film productions in Jefferson Parish this year -- up from approximately 14 the year before.

Circuit-breaker at heart of LOT 767 gear-up landing probe
Investigation into the LOT Boeing gear-up landing at Warsaw are focusing on the role of circuit-breakers, after the twinjet's undercarriage failed to deploy following a hydraulic leak.
The aircraft had departed Newark, bound for Warsaw, on 1 November when, during flap and gear retraction, the engine indication and crew alerting system warned of a malfunction in the central hydraulic system, which was suffering a loss of pressure.
Having opted to continue the flight to the Polish capital, the LOT crew carried out a quick-reference handbook procedure which included use of alternate landing-gear extension.
But the gear failed to extend and the aircraft was vectored to a holding pattern while combat aircraft were sent to observe the state of the undercarriage. The crew attempted to use gravity extension to lower the gear but this was unsuccessful, and diminishing fuel levels forced the crew to consider a gear-up landing.
The 767 landed on Runway 33 with its gear retracted, about 1h 15min after declaring the initial emergency. It came to a halt around 2,000m along the strip, where Runway 33 and Runway 29 intersect.
Preliminary inspection of the aircraft traced the central hydraulic system problem to a fluid leak from a damaged hose in the starboard main landing-gear.
But it also revealed that while the individual circuit-breaker for the alternate landing-gear extension motor was 'on', an overarching battery bus circuit-breaker - which protects several systems including the alternate landing-gear extension motor - was 'off'.
Polish investigation authority PKBWL said this 'off' position "was not recorded or indicated" either by the EICAS or the flight-data recorder of the 767.
Suspicion over the role of the circuit-breaker in the accident heightened during a test carried out as the aircraft was being recovered from the runway using cranes and air-bags.
After connecting a ground-power unit to the 767, and switching the battery bus circuit-breaker on, investigators successfully used the alternate landing-gear extension system to lower the undercarriage - enabling the aircraft to be towed to LOT's technical facilities.
"Functional tests of the entire electrical installation of the alternate landing-gear extension system are being conducted," said PKBWL.
None of the 221 passengers and 10 crew members was injured.

Terex releases cranes with a Chinese touch
The new Terex Toplift 025G and 055G truck cranes from the Terex Chang Jiang joint venture share much technology with the rest of the Terex family of cranes. Built in Luzhou, China, the new 25 and 55 tonne class cranes represent “the next advancement in bringing Terex design, operation and styling to the China market,” says the company.
Frank Bardonaro, vice president and managing director global sales for Terex Cranes says: “The new truck cranes incorporate designs based on extensive customer and dealer feedback. They blend Chang Jiang’s legacy for strength and lift performance with the latest Terex innovations.”
Spacious new driver and operator cab designs greatly increase operator efficiency while ergonomic control placement and air conditioning provide the operator with an environment that enhances productivity over extended hours. The rated capacity indicator features a graphical display that provides immediate feedback of load weight and alerts the operator before the load is outside the rated lifting capacity for radius and configuration. Both cranes feature hydraulic hose and electrical wire routing common to other Terex crane models.

Rescue team honored for heroism
Three Goodwill firefighters and the chief of the company's rescue operation were honored Wednesday night for the role they played in a "once-in-a-lifetime" rescue operation that began after two men fell through a hole that opened up in a roof being repaired at The Hill School last year.
Firefighters Terry Bechtel, Matt Burfete and William Smale Jr. were presented with Exceptional Duty Awards and Kevin Yerger, chief of Fire Rescue Operations for Goodwill Fire Company was presented with a plaque for his leadership during that operation.
It was a day with beautiful blue sky when the emergency call went out Nov. 1, 2010,
for two men who had fallen through the roof of The Hill School power plant.
"What units found when they arrived was nearly unthinkable," Yerger wrote in a Jan. 24 letter to Pottstown Fire Chief Richard Lengel, nominating the three members of his team for recognition.
"First, crews ascended a 40-foot tall utility ladder" that led to a platform where a conveyor belt, once used to carry coal into a coal hopper suspended about 30 feet in the air, was located.
The hopper was once used to fuel a furnace which provided heat and steam for other Hill School buildings but was no longer in use.
About 20 feet wide, 60 feet long and 18 feet deep, the hopper was where the crews found Kevin Sensenig, vice president of the R. L. Sensenig Co. of Ephrata, who had fallen through a hole that had opened up in the roof his company was there to repair.
The other victim, a worker who was wearing a safety harness, had fallen half the 35-foot distance from the roof into the hopper and was "standing on an 8-inch wide, deteriorating steel beam," according to Yerger's letter.
"He was in extreme pain and was not able to perform any type of self-rescue efforts," Yerger wrote.
Smale "crawled on an extension ladder" and then "along the beam to the victim and managed to get himself in a standing position next to the victim. While balancing on the beam, he was able to get one of our harnesses onto the victim," Yerger wrote.
Bechtel and Burfete "devised a system and lowered both firefighter Smale and the victim to the floor where advanced life support and emergency medical service treatment could be initiated," he wrote.
Sensenig's body was extracted by putting it into a "Stokes basket" and "using the crane system that the roofing company had in place to lift the victim through the collapsed section of roof and out of the building and down to the street."
Smale "climbed where few others would go" and Bechtel "remained at the side of the victim during the extrication and despite his own fear of heights, assured and reassured the victim that he would be OK," Yerger wrote.
"This call was 'the big one.' It is the one that we all train for and hope will never happen and after the call," Yerger wrote, "it was agreed upon that this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
In an e-mail to The Mercury, Yerger was quick to point out that the success of the operation was due to many others as well.
The rescue "was a combined effort of the Pottstown Fire Department, Pottstown Police Department and Goodwill Ambulance."
"Every one of these operations has a few people who end up being the heart of the operation. This could be a person on the nozzle of the hose at the scene of a fire, the person who uses the hydraulic tool at the scene of a vehicle extrication or the guy who gets to accompany the victim during his 100-foot high ride out a three-story high coal bin," Yerger wrote.
Those honored Wednesday "stood out as stars that day and never at any point did I doubt their skills, their responsibilities of the job at hand," he wrote The Mercury.
"Through their expertise and professionalism, (Sensenig) was recovered in a very dignified manner," Lengel said when presenting the awards Wednesday during a meeting of Pottstown Borough Council.
Their conduct, Lengel said, "reflected very greatly on themselves and the department in their expertise, their knowledge and their ability to function under pressure."
With the exception of Life Safety Awards, the Exceptional Duty Awards for the Pottstown Fire Department are given out, if at all, only once a year in conjunction with Fire Prevention Week, which begins tomorrow.
Yerger's Jan. 24 nomination of Burfete, Smale and Bechtel was taken to the Borough Fire Committee, made up of the fire officers of each of the four fire companies in Pottstown.
It was their decision to present the award.
In a post on The Mercury's Facebook page, Smale explained that Yerger's plaque was presented to recognize "his outstanding leadership during The Hill School technical rescue operation."

Godwin Pumps Announces New Branch in Dallas, TX
Godwin Pumps, manufacturer of the Dri-Prime automatic self-priming, dry-running pump announced the opening of a new branch office in Dallas, TX. The office is co-located with ITT Flowtronics.
The new facility provides sales, rentals, and service of the Dri-Prime, hydraulic submersible Heidra and gasoline-powered Wet-Prime pumps. Available are also pipe, hose and other accessories.
The new Dallas branch has already contributed pumps and systems for a bypass through Bar Constructors at a local wastewater treatment plant. This six-month job features CD400M Dri-Prime pumps. The team is actively offering services to municipalities and contractors and at wastewater treatment plants throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
"Our progress in Dallas is an example of ITT's intent to organically grow its Water and Wastewater business through its existing footprint, not only internationally, but also within the U.S.," says Ron Askin, vice president of sales for Godwin Pumps. "The progress the Texas team has already made is a model for the future."
Customers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area now have access to a range of Godwin pumps, including the CD series for high volume dewatering applications, and the HL series of high head pumps. Godwin pumps all have a sturdy design for reliable running and low maintenance cost. They are self-priming for easy start and minimal monitoring. A unique oil-bath seal allows the pump to run dry, without damage.
