End of summer Well, I guess the end of summer is almost here as Labor Day weekend means, end of holidays. Back to work, and school for the children!

The Be wary of • paving Don't let the sight of a smoothly -paved surface turned into a mine field of pot holes aid buckling pavement panic you into hiring the first paving contractor that comes your way. Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations officials say homeowners should beware of paving contractors who emerge offering once-in-a-lifetime deals on repairs or first-time paving jobs. Homeowners should get at least three written estimates outlining what work is needed and how much it will cost. Once you have picked the right contractor, make sure the following terms are included in the contract before you sign: •the names and addresses of the buyer and seller; •a detailed description of goods and services including whether the driveway is being excavated or regraded; • any warrany or guarantee on the goods and services; • a detailed description of how you will pay for the work; • starting and completion dates; • dimensions of the total area to be paved; • and drainage requirements. Despite all your precautions, you might find you have been ripped off. In that event, you have several avenues of recourse. For example, it's illegal for a company to make false, misleading or deceptive clains under The Business Practices Act. If you feel the contractor made a clear misrepresentation you may send a letter cancelling the agreement. If this doesn't bring any satisfaction you may take the contractor to court under the Act. Under The Consumer Protection Act, you have a two day cooling off period if you sign a contract of over $50 in your home. The Act gives you the right to break such a contract within two working days by sending a registered letter to the company or by personally delivering a letter to the company.
