5 Things You Need to Know this Tuesday morning

FISHERS, Ind. - Fourteen fire companies have been on the scene of a fire at the Flats at Fishers apartments at 131st and Cumberland Road in Fishers since about 5 a.m. Tuesday.

131st Street was closed at Cumberland Road for much of the morning.

The complex, a $35 million development by Ackerman Group in Cincinnati, is a cluster of three buildings that were under construction. No one lived there.

Despite frigid and challenging weather conditions for crews, no injuries have been reported.

Hamilton Southeastern Schools said at 6 a.m. that the road closure would not impact school schedules.

Firefighters say the building is C-shaped and there are a lot of factors that are making the fire difficult to combat.

"One is getting access to the fire," Capt. John Mehling with the Fishers Fire Department explained. "The building was under construction, so we're working around some things within the floors. And, we do have some wind going. It's burning and just kind of pushing the fire across.Because of the construction and the openness of it, and since all the walls were not built yet, the fire just kind of ran along the top floor and into the attic space."

For miles around, the bright orange glow of fire light up the night sky, coupled with thick clouds of smoke blanketing the area.

Nearly five dozen firefighters battled the blaze, using ladder trucks to fight the flames.

In the daylight, Chopper 13 HD shows the hollowed shell of what was to be luxury apartments with a move in date later this month.

Foster said The Element 903 will also offer three different packages a silver, platinum and gold suite, with the silver suite costing $750 a bed.

Each room is over 1,000 square feet with granite countertops, nine foot ceiling and natural light in every room, which is pretty ... unique,Foster said.

If youre considering improvements to your home this winter, first consider which will pay the most back when you sell the home down the road. (See: Selling Your House? Avoid These Mistakes.) Remodeling Magazine recently released its 2015 Cost vs. Value Report, which outlines the 35 most popular home additions, remodels and replacements in 101 U.S. cities. Its recommendations will help you determine which projects will yield the greatest return on your home improvement investment: (For related reading, see: Five Ways To Make Your Home Remodel Pay Off.)

1) Front door replacement

One of the most surprising replacements topping the list was steel entry doors. Homeowners who replaced their existing wood entry doors with steel saw a 101.8% return on investment during resale. Steel doors can be made hollow or solid, as well as soundproof and fireproof. They also come in a range of colors in addition to the default silver, which can be matched to any color scheme in a variety of paint grades.

2) Installing manufactured stone veneer

A new addition to the Cost vs. Value list this year is manufactured stone veneer, which yielded a 92.2% return on investment. Stone veneer mimics the look of natural stone or brick for a fraction of the cost. It is useful in many areas of the home and can be used to treat siding, fireplace mantels and bathtub enclosures, among other things. It is most often used in the fabrication of siding or fireplace overlays to create an old-fashioned masonry appearance.

Corona, CA (PRWEB) January 13, 2015

Southern California flooring company Urban Luxury Vinyl today announced the launch of their newly designed website which is viewable at urbanluxuryvinyl.com and highlights the companys more than 80 flooring styles across their 13 product lines of luxury vinyl flooring. It was designed by Modmacro, Inc., a Southern California-based web design and marketing firm.

The new site includes high-quality images of every available product, with the ability to view each product in detail. In addition, each product is shown in a room, so customers can visualize the product in a realistic setting. The new site also offers customers the ability to easily request samples through a shopping experience that allows them to click through the entire offering of products and select the ones they wish to see in more detail. Customers can also download the product catalog or request a full catalog to be delivered to their office.

Jeremy Britton, General Manager of Urban Luxury Vinyl said, For the longest time our customers have raved about our products but decried our out-of-date website. Our new site from Modmacro has not changed the quality of our goods, but it has enhanced the way they are perceived in the marketplace. Stylish design, beautiful pictures, and an engaging format promise to boost customer engagement and give us the edge we have been missing.

The new site offers valuable information for industry professionals that use luxury vinyl products, including architects, developers, flooring contractors, general contractors, interior designers and property managers, and caters to each group individually. For example, the section for property managers highlights the durability, affordability and ease of installation of Urban Luxury Vinyl products. The site also provides suggestions under every product line description for the best uses of that product, making it easier for customers to select the product that will work for their specific project and environment.

Matt Smith, CEO of Modmacro, said, Were proud of the site we delivered for Urban. Theyre a great company and were pleased with the partnership forged through this project and a few others. The new site has already been featured in top web design galleries and we feel it represents Urban in a professional and informative manner that also provides interested parties with several ways to connect with Urban and their amazing luxury vinyl solutions.
