NORTH HEMPSTEAD, NY North Hempstead town officials have signed off on a five-year capital plan, which includes more than $55 million in improvements.

Among the projects highlighted: engineering services for the first phase of the North Hempstead Beach Park visioning project, site improvements for the Sept. 11 memorial at Manhasset Valley Park and a pool renovation project at Martin "Bunky" Reid Park.

The town said it will fund the 2020 portion of the general fund's capital improvements using $9.5 million dollars in bond authorizations after accounting for grants and existing money.

Included in the capital plan is $7.6 million in grants. Federal emergency management officials have pledged about $33.5 million for various projects as well.

More than $4 million will go toward road repaving in both residential and industrial areas. The town set $1 million will go toward sidewalk improvements and another $1 million will fund concrete roadwork. Furthermore, $400,000 will go toward road drainage.

Judi Bosworth, the town supervisor, said the capital plan may not include flashy improvement projects, but noted that"as any homeowner knows, most maintenance projects are not glamorous." That doesn't mean they aren't necessary, though.

"It is our goal to keep the Town structurally sound and safe and to maintain a great quality of life into the future," Bosworth said. "We will also be concentrating on environmental projects including the installation of a vehicle wash station at our Roslyn Highway Yard."

Plans also call for funding a project for the building department that would digitalize all property records, historical papers, deeds, drawings, occupancy certificates and more. This means the records will be kept safe from fires and floods, and will make them viewable online.

Here are some other capital projects on the docket:

You wont believe that this classy Colonial on over an acre of land was built in 1957! Freshly renovated and totally move-in ready with an easy living floor plan that fits todays lifestyles, this residence is thoroughly modern from stem to stern, so to speak.

ADDRESS: 9 Cedar St., Boxford

BEDROOMS: 4

BATHROOMS: 2 full

LIVING SPACE: 2,168 sq. ft.

PRICE: $639,000

You wont believe that this classy Colonial on over an acre of land was built in 1957! Freshly renovated and totally move-in ready with an easy living floor plan that fits todays lifestyles, this residence is thoroughly modern from stem to stern, so to speak.

The roof, gutters and siding are new, every window was replaced they are mostly gorgeous eight-over-one and this home has a four-bedroom Gravity Septic System. The oil tank is new and so is the 100-amp sub panel in the laundry room. Electric is, of course, 200 amps. Lets not forget new sheetrock and plaster walls in the garage or the fireproof door to the house. Thats only a partial list of the newbies. Whew.

By the way, the entire house (upstairs and down) has all new red oak flooring that is not only beautiful but also a seamless backdrop to all the wonderful features and details in this home.

Lets get specific

A center entry area separates the oversized main living areas. The living room, which is off to the left, runs front to back and has four, eight-over-one windows plus an attractive gas fireplace with a brick surround. The mantel along with door and window casings have eye-catching detailing. So does the chair rail.

The open-concept kitchen-dining room on the other side of the entry is even larger and is filled with more impressive amenities.

In the dining room, for example, double crown molding, detailed bump boards and chair rail give this space a timeless elegance. In addition to views of the sprawling front lawn and side yard, this room seats six, eight or more comfortably.

Granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances (and that includes the sink) sparkle in the bright U-shaped kitchen. A subway tile backsplash with glass tile inserts add dashes of sparkle as does lighting under the cabinets of which there is a substantial amount. The center island, which any chef will appreciate, doubles as a breakfast bar for two.

Take two steps down from the kitchen into the sunroom and be prepared to be wowed. Running front-to-back, this fabulous getaway is just that an inviting place to relax or to entertain friends and family. Almost floor-to-ceiling casement windows with a full glass pane door at each end of the room look out to the grounds. One view is the front lawn; the other is a sizable patio and expansive yard bordered by well-established trees.

Easy-to-maintain tile flooring and a closet are practical pluses.

By the way, this level has a full bathroom with a tub/shower ensemble with a tile surround. The vanity has a granite countertop.

Up on two

Although the second floor is set up as a classic four-square, this level is about everything modern: rooms are bright (with two exposures), closets are big doubles with sliding doors and gleaming red oak flooring is everywhere.

The landing, which has enough space to accommodate a mini study/office a desk and chair, for example also can be a reading corner.

The bedrooms are spacious. Two, which are identical in size, are slightly larger than the other two and those are also the same size. Incidentally, the two larger rooms easily handle king-size beds plus the prerequisite bedroom furniture.

The shared full bathroom has a tub/shower ensemble with a tile surround. The vanity has a granite countertop.

A linen closet is in the hall, too.

About the basement

As this level is the footprint of the house, describing it as large is practically an understatement.

Excellent ceiling height throughout is another perk. In addition to a partially finished space well go there in a moment the basement has a huge utility room with access to the bulkhead that leads to the yard. A laundry room, which is also big, has more than enough space for a full-size washer and dryer installed side-by-side, if you prefer.

A sink in this room and cabinetry that can work as a folding table are additional conveniences. Bead board on two walls is a dash of character.

Now about potential: With paneled walls and slate-like tile flooring in place, the partially finished area is ready for final finishing touches to create a user-friendly area as a second family room, media center and/or a play area for adults and the younger set. Sweet cubbies under the stairs work well for books, games and other storage.

HOME PROFILE: Renovations have 1957 home ready for todays living - Wicked Local Beverly

Photo: courtesy of Warner Bros.

The first time someone decided to hang little lights on a pine tree that was chopped down and carried inside a home was in December 1882, when Edward Johnson, vice-president of the Edison Electric Light Company, wrapped a hand-wired strand of 80 colored light bulbs around his Christmas tree. It probably looked beautiful, even if it was a terrible fire hazard.

Today, Christmas lights are used by more than just one brave guy a lot more. And we have a lot more options. LED bulbs that use less energy and are much less likely to burn out. Bulbs that are outdoor rated. Bulbs that twinkle and pulse. And, in extreme cases, bulbs that people set to music.With so many choices, it can be hard to know what the best Christmas lights are. Plus, the best lights for you may be different than the best lights for your neighbor. To help navigate the choices, we spoke to Brandon Stevens, president of the Decor Group, a Texas-based Christmas light installation company with franchises in 48 states; Josh Trees, president of the Christmas Light Installation Pros Association; and Bob Young, a Port Washington, New York, homeowner who has been covering his house, bushes, trees, and lawn with Christmas lights (and causing a line of gawking traffic up and down his suburban street) for more than 20 years.

In Youngs case, we use about 300,000 individual bulbs and its probably about 20,000 total feet of wiring, he says. While you dont need to use that many bulbs on your house to make an impression, there are other tips from the pros that will help you have a beautiful display. The most important is this: Symmetry is key. You dont want your work to look haphazard.

Okay, maybe thats the second-most-important thing, right after safety. Young recommends always using ground-fault circuit interrupter extension cords and LED lights, which are safer and more cost-effective than incandescent bulbs. Plus, thousands of LED bulbs can be connected to a single outlet.

Below, the best Christmas lights and how to use them according to our experts.

Decute 105FT 300 LED Waterproof Christmas String Lights

Stevens agrees with Young that LED is the way to go when it comes to outdoor holiday lights. LED bulbs stand up to harsh weather, they last for years, and if youre going full Griswold, they can save you quite a bit of money over time.Warm white has been the standard for outdoor decoration for 25 or more years, Stevens says. You see some incorporation of color these days, but white light is still the most popular for roofs, windows, trees, and shrubs and all. Long strands like this 105-foot option from Decute are perfect for long roof lines. We use clips along gutters or that go right onto the shingles, Stevens says. They are always removable.

Novelty Lights 100 Light LED Christmas Mini Light Set

We recommend mini lights on windows because they dont overpower the window, Stevens says. You can enjoy the lights from inside and outside but still see out of the windows at night.

Everlights app-controlled permanent lighting

These are the lights you get if you want to pay a lot this year, and then never pay again (and never have to hang and remove them again, either.) Each fully customizable LED bulb in an EverLights set is rated with a 50,000-hour life expectancy, and the bulbs and wiring are fully weatherproof. Josh Trees, the president of the Christmas Light Installation Pros Association, has been installing Christmas lights professionally for 23 years. EverLights stand out with their simple customization and durability in natures elements across the country, he says. He recommends hiring a CLIPA-certified crew to install the lights. You can always call Stevens at the Decor Group, too.

Holiday Essence 60 LED Mini Christmas Lights, Cool White

We primarily use mini lights on trees,says Stevens. We do trunk and branch wrap with mini lights because you can control the effect they create so well. A shorter, 16-foot strand like these lights from Holiday Essence allow you to wrap branches without driving yourself crazy winding a long string of lights around and around and around (and around) the same branch.

Govee Outdoor String Lights

Blending mini lights with larger bulbs, especially in taller trees gives an elegant effect appreciable both close up and from a more distant view. We use a lot of larger C bulbs high up in the large canopy of trees, says Stevens. It creates a look a lot of people like better than wrapped trunks and branches alone. This strand of large bulbs from Govee is perfect for use high up in a tree because you can control the lights remotely using a smartphone app.

Lyhope 12ft x 5ft 360 LED Decorative Net Lights

On shrubs and bushes, we do a lot of mini lights, says Stevens. With a net dotted by miniature bulbs, you dont have to spend time laboriously wrapping strands of lights around bushes or hedges. Instead, just drape the net over the plants and, if needed, use twist ties to secure the wiring in a few places.

Mimiviva Christmas Laser Lights Outdoor Projector

Light projectors are popular with homeowners and theyre great for commercial applications as well, says Stevens. They install in seconds and can be removed just as quickly, and once the sun has set, these laser light projectors create dazzling effects on walls, in trees, and on roofs. This remote-controlled LED projector can beam out thousands of red and green dots and can also create patterns of images such as a snowflake or a Christmas tree. It can cover an area as large as 3,500 square feet when set back 50 feet from the surface its projecting on.

$0.87 Earnings Per Share Expected for Installed Building Products Inc (NYSE:IBP) This Quarter - Trent Times

Being attuned to the latest technological breakthroughs in the construction and home industry always is a wise idea for homeowners, who could benefit when it comes time for a renovation.

Take, for example, the problem of water infiltration. Is there anything more damaging to a home than having a leaky roof, walls, siding, faucets or toilets? How about water that gets into a basement and damages everything on the floor and more?

According to Ray Cipriani of Cipriani Remodeling Solutions, water infiltration causes billions of dollars of damage to homes across the country.

You spend all this money to fix it, and its all preventable and many contractors are not using the latest installation techniques to prevent water infiltration to the homes, he said. A lot of contractors are not keeping up with the ways to install flashing.

Something as simple as kickout flashing is a type of flashing that kicks the water out from behind the siding and into the gutter, Cipriani said. The vinyl kickout flashing device is flexible and withstands heat and cold. Its also inexpensive.

We were finding water was getting behind the siding and rotting out the house framing, he said.

According to the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI), kickout flashing provides excellent protection against the penetration of water into a building.

Several factors can lead to rainwater intrusion, but a missing kickout flashing, in particular, often results in concentrated areas of water accumulation and potentially severe damage to exterior walls, according to the NACHI.

Another advancement is using 3D software when designing a project for a client, which allows the homeowner to walk through the space similar to a project management software so that the homeowner can visualize the project as it is being completed, Cipriani said.

Building products also have changed, with vinyl replacing cedar and pine more and more, said Alan Archuleta of Archuleta Builders in Morristown. Although vinyl is more expensive, homeowners are looking to use it as a long-term investment.

It might be double the price, but these are products that never need to be replaced, he said. The good thing most people dont calculate. Now I dont have to paint my house every five years. The siding is expensive, but in 10 years it pays for itself.

For high-end homes, the biggest technological breakthrough is a Wi-Fi system that completely converts the house into a wireless abode, Archuleta said.

Then there is the smart home technology trend that allows homeowners to control their lights or heating and air conditioning thermostats, as well as their garage doors, all through their phone or tablet.

We can walk into a room and say, Alexa, turn on the kitchen lights, and the lights come on, Cipriani said.
