Welcome to the Parade of Homes...

THE PARADE OF OPPORTUNITY!
> Building material costs are at an all
time low which means new home
buyers have the opportunity to take
advantage of great builder pricing
on new homes of exceptional value.

> Mortgage loans are available at

historically low inertest rates which
means new home buyers have the
opportunity to secure and lock in
financing at rates not expected to
be available again in the future.

> An $8,000 tax credit is available for a

limited time only for first-time home
buyers (if you haven’t owned a prin-
cipal residence in the last 3 years)
who take advantage of the opportu-
nity to buy and close on the sale of a
new home by December 1, 2009.

> An investment in a new home today

provides new home buyers the
opportunity to establish a signifi-
cant hedge against the impact of
projected future inflation.

O
N BEHALF OF THE HOUSING
and Building Association of
Northwestern Colorado, we
would like to welcome you to
the 28th Annual Parade of Homes.
Once again we bring you Grand Junc-
tions finest builders, designers, trade
contractors and material suppliers, who
will be showcasing the latest and greatest
in home products and design and invite
you to experience the parade homes they
have created just for you.
This year we have 9 traditional parade
homes that will be furnished and land-
scaped to delight all. These newly built
homes offer a little something for every-
one. Ranging in size from 1300 square feet
to just over 4000 square feet, we think you
will enjoy every inch of these homes. Our
“Green” homes are sure to be a favorite
this year as well. Come see how these new
homes are more energy efficient and con-
structed with resource conserving materi-
als and techniques to save your money.
Your “Parade of Opportunity” awaits
you with additional homes we have
added to the parade this year. Along with
the 9 Traditional Parade Homes, we have
added 19 additional homes that are avail-
able here in the Grand Valley for your
viewing. This market we are in truly is an
opportunity of a lifetime! Prevailing eco-
nomic conditions impacting housing will
change in the near future. When those
changes occur, buying conditions will not
be as favorable. We wanted to make sure
you had the opportunity to see other new
homes that are also available to you.
The reasons the “opportunity of a life-
time” exists and new home buyers should
feel a sense of urgency in regard to taking
advantage of it are factually based:
ing, “green” home advantages, and any
incentives that are being offered. But
whatever you do, don’t pass up this
“opportunity of a lifetime” to buy your
new dream home now!
A special thanks to our sponsors for
their contribution to this parade. And
thanks to every committee member that
participated in putting this event on…we
couldn’t have done it without you!
ENJOY THE PARADE!!

the hearts of those who
attend the event in

by the Housing and Building Association
of Northwestern Colorado (HBA) and
ProBuild. Bank of America is a sponsor
of the event and media sponsors include

In addition to the magnificent show-
case homes this year, newer homes that
are available for sale will be included in
the “Parade of Opportunity” for a total of
nearly 30 participating homes. The HBA
8 2009 PARADE OF HOMES
has added a “green” twist to the event.
“Residential ‘green’ building is no
longer a trend; it is the future of build-
ing,” said HBA executive officer Debbie
Rich. “Our featured homes in this year’s
Parade will show you the advantages of
going ‘green.’ These homes surpass stan-
dard homes in terms of comfort, energy
efficiency, moisture control, air quality
and durability. We invite you to come see
what ‘green’ can do for you.”
The traditional Parade of Homes and
the Parade of Opportunity homes will be
open on Friday, Sept. 18, Saturday, Sept.
19 and Sunday, Sept. 20 from 10 a.m.-
7 p.m. The nine marquis homes will
require a $10.00 ticket which can be pur-
chased from area City Market stores. No
ticket will be required to tour the Parade
of Opportunity homes.
Participating builders in the tradi-
tional Parade include Davidson Homes,
Conquest Construction, Chaparral West,
Sunshine Development, Dorssey Custom
Homes, Griffin Concepts, Porter Homes
and Grace Homes. These eight builders
will have a total of nine new properties
available to tour, ranging in size from
1,300 square feet to just over 4,000 sq ft.
Each home will have representatives
available to talk with visitors about the
area, the builder, home pricing, available
financing, “green” home advantages and
any incentives that may be offered.

tion has more than 250 members and the

ROBUILD HOLDINGS INC.,
the nation’s largest profes-
sional building materials sup-
plier, announced the opening
of their newest lumber yard in Grand
Junction, CO. Significantly larger than the
smaller facility it is replacing, ProBuild’s
expanded yard will offer all main-line
products for area builders, contractors,
remodelers and homeowners. First day
of business was Thursday, July 23rd.
The new facility, located at 2773 Riv-
erside Parkway in Grand Junction will be
comprised of 52,000 square feet of build-
ing space situated on 12.38 acres whose
product offering will include engineered
wood, framing lumber, panel products,
siding, insulation, windows, doors, mill-
work, roofing materials, gypsum and
stucco along with cabinetry, fireplaces,
tools and hardware. A unique “street-
scape” display concept showcases many
products in actual settings (albeit on a
smaller scale). Contractors and hom-
eowners alike can see how products and
colors will look on their project. A con-
ference room is also provided for custom-
ers to view and discuss project plans.
“Our former yard offered a meager
4000 feet of space on 3 acres and, over
time, we simply outgrew the space,” said
Tim Bork, ProBuild Area Vice President.
“Our expanded capacity gives us the
space to stock more inventory and pro-
vide our customers with much broader
selections of products and services in the
area’s finest showroom.”
“We’ve added millwork manufactur-
ing to our new Grand Junction facility
The difference...
to bring finished products closer to the
customer,” explained Keith Hogstad, is how we see the light.
Assistant Manager. “What took weeks
to deliver from other front range facilities

 HOUSE PLANTS

The Key to Healthy House Plants:

LIGHT & LIFESTYLE BY ERIN CONROY
AP Business Writer

F
ORGET EVERY STORY
you’ve heard about the
accidental death of a
house plant. The key
is picking a plant that
can thrive, OK sur-
vive, with the light and lifestyle in your
home. “You have to have a realistic sense
of your maintenance skills,” said Justin
Hancock, senior garden editor at Better
Homes and Gardens magazine. “Some-
thing like watering seems easy enough,
but when you have kids or have to make
dinner every night it may not be one of
your higher priorities.”

TIPS TO FOSTER YOUR FOLIAGE

WATER Over watering is often the

most common mistake plant owners
make. If the soil is still moist, hold
off. Don’t assume that wilted leaves
mean a thirsty plant — it could mean
just the opposite, that it’s drowning.
Gardening experts recommend using
a humidifier during the winter, and
spraying leaves with water in the
morning rather than overnight.

LIGHT Of course, the quality and in-

tensity of sunlight a plant needs will
vary. It’s also important to consider
how many hours of sunlight per day
the plant will get when deciding
which window will provide the best
exposure. While natural light is best,
many house plants adapt well to
an artificial grow light that can be
purchased for under $10.
BUGS It’s also important to inspect
your plant for tiny insects that like to
hang out on the undersides of leaves.
Spider mites, scales and mealy bugs
are most common in house plants.
Try to identify the problem before
reaching for a pesticide — sometimes
the solution is something as simple
as cutting back on watering.
Hancock suggests these three house
plants that are practically indestructible:
LOW MAINTENANCE PLANTS
ZEEZEE Relatively new to plant lovers’
radar, the zeezee are known to thrive
for many years with little mainte-
nance. Occasional watering and some
light will do the trick.
30 2009 PARADE OF HOMES
POTHOS Streaked with a creamy or
white coloring, this popular plant
thrives in low to bright light and pre-
fers moderately dry soil. Its versatile
vines can trail as long as 8 feet, or can
be mounded on a tabletop. Beware:
The plant’s parts can be poisonous to
pets and children.
PHILODENDRON Probably the most
common house plant, the philoden-
dron has heart-shaped leaves and
climbing stems that can be trained
to grow around a window or over the
edge of a piece of furniture. It’s com-
fortable in low to bright light and can
go a few days with dry soil. But like
the pothos, it should be kept out of
the reach of kids and pets.
If you want to branch out, so to speak,
there are more exotic plants that, with
more care, will intrigue guests with rich
colors, strong scents or hanging fruit.
“If you want flowers or something that
will draw attention, you’ll have to put a
little bit of work in it and not disappear on
vacation for three weeks without anyone
watering them,” said Byron Martin, owner
of Logee’s Tropical Plants in Danielson,
Conn. “Still, you can have something fun
that really isn’t that hard to maintain.”
EXOTIC INDOOR PLANTS
MAID OF ORLEANS Also known as the
Arabian Tea Jasmine, are popular in
Asia and have been processed for tea.
These plants need constant watering
and tons of sunlight.
MEYER LEMON Trees that produce
lemons and limes have become popu-
lar. The lemon tree can go a few days
without water, but needs a spot in
front of a sunny window to flourish.
BLACK PEPPER PLANT This plant
doesn’t mind dry conditions, and will
grow in relatively low light. It does
require rich soil and partial shade.
The pepper corns it sprouts can be
dried and used for seasoning.
For something short-term, consider
seasonal plants, like poinsettias around
the holidays or potted lilies and tulips in
the spring. It also makes sense to choose
plants that are room-appropriate, like
lavender for homemade potpourri in the
bathroom or herbs in the kitchen.
When displaying your plant, consider
keeping the original plant container
inside a more decorative cachepot or bas-
ket. Double-potting will protect the roots
and contain the mess of soil and water
with a visually aesthetic appeal.
“You should always consider your
plant an investment,” said Jennifer Wil-
liams, curator of interior displays for the
Brooklyn Botanical Garden. “You don’t
want them to ever be missing leaves,
buggy or scraggly.”
If you do somehow manage to kill your
plant, don’t fret — sometimes it takes a
few mistakes before you can cultivate the
perfect plant.

SEALING AND INSULATION If you
have less than 15 inches of insulation
in your attic you can save money by
adding more and also use expand-
ing foam insulation to seal cracks
and gaps where air seeps in and gets
out and you can save up to $500 in
annual energy costs, according to a
2008 Money magazine article.
“In addition to the savings you’ll see
in your monthly bills through energy-
efficient improvements, you may be able
to take advantage of the tax credits in
the 2009 American Recovery and Rein-
vestment Act,” says Chenard. “Certain
energy-efficient improvements to residen-
tial properties, like replacement windows,
are eligible for up to 30 percent of the
cost of improvements (up to $1,500) in
tax credits under the Residential Energy
Efficient Property Credit.”
