    Richardson business Bry-Jo Roofing and Remodeling committed to ‘doing it right the first time, every time’ – Community Impact Newspaper - December 20, 2019 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Maria and Michael Harris started Bry-Jo Roofing and Remodeling in Richardson two decades ago. (Olivia Lueckemeyer/Community Impact Newspaper)

    I saw a deficit in our industry of quality contractors who were being honest, Michael said. I wanted to be somebody that people could trust, someone they knew was going to do the right thing.

    Trustworthiness is valued by the Harrises in any business relationship, but especially when a client has been through a traumatic experience, such as the Oct. 20 tornado, Michael said.

    In the days following the storm, it was all hands on deck at Bry-Jo, Michael said. Staff reached out to every former client living in the tornados path to offer help if needed, Michael said.

    It is not uncommon for storm victims to be preyed upon by crooked contractors looking to profit off the wreckage, Michael said. So in addition to being hired for projects, the Bry-Jo team is often called in to repair damage left behind by unskilled workers.

    But because major storms do not happen every day, the roofing side of the business is feast or famine, Maria said. To balance the equation, the company also offers home remodeling.

    Our custom work really started as a result of the fire restoration work that we did, Maria said. Once people got past the trauma, they started to get excited about building back and upgrading things.

    The companys remodeling projects include room additions; kitchen and bathroom remodels; and garage conversions. The Harrises pride themselves on maintaining hands-on relationships with clients and sticking to a set schedule.

    We have a well-oiled machine, Maria said. We dont really have a history of jobs taking longer than we expect them to.

    Bry-Jo has a steady foothold in the industry, but that reputation was hard-earned, Maria said. The construction business tends to attract workers who are not committed to the long haul, Maria said. But that was never the intention with Bry-Jo.

    From the very beginning, we knew that this was a legacy. The intention was that we are going to be around for a while, Maria said. Thats who we are. We are not going anywhere.

    Working with Independent Contractors? Learn Who Gets a 1099-MISC Form – Small Business Trends - December 20, 2019 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The 1099 miscellaneous is one of the most common tax forms. So who gets one? Typically, this form is issued to independent contractors, janitorial services, third-party accounts and other workers paid for services who are not on the payroll.

    But like many IRS regulations, its not quite so simple. But there are some helpful guidelines to determine whether a 1099-MISC is needed.

    Its a common belief that businesses dont need to send out 1099-MISC forms to corporations. And this is true sometimes.

    In general, you dont have to issue 1099-MISC forms to C Corporations and S Corporations. But there are some exceptions, including:

    You can read about other exceptions here.

    If you contract with a business that is an LLC sole proprietorship, you will need to send out a 1099-MISCform. An easy way to tell is by looking at the Form W-9 your worker provided. If the W-9 indicates they are an LLC that is taxed as a sole proprietorship, you need to send a 1099. If their LLC is taxed as an S- or a C-Corp you do not (unless an exception applies as described above).

    If youre unsure, its always best to file a 1099-MISC. Theres no penalty if you file one but you didnt need to. On the other hand, not filing one that is required can lead to hefty penalties.

    And one more tip: Always get the W-9 before you issue payments to any vendor who may be required to get a 1099-MISC. Less-reputable vendors might not be around when you need their information at tax time.

    The fastest, most efficient way to file your 1099s (and meet the January 31 deadline!) is with eFile4Biz.com. This one-stop shop allows you to easily enter your data online. Then eFile4Biz electronically files your forms with the IRS as well as prints and mails copies to your independent contractors and other recipients.

    THE DISH: Muertos closing, will become Two Goats & The Goose in 2020 – The Bakersfield Californian - December 20, 2019 by Mr HomeBuilder

    On Saturday, Muertos Kitchen & Lounge closes its doors as we know it. On Jan. 2, it will re-emerge as Two Goats & The Goose, a pub-style eatery that won't be a culture (or culinary) shock for loyal customers.

    Owner Shawna Haddad Byers said she was inspired by the thought of a next chapter.

    "I saw a brilliant post by a fantastic life coach, Kym Showers, that said, 'It's 70 days to a new decade, what do you want to do?' About day 60, I decided let's just embrace something new."

    The restaurateur is comfortable with change and adapting to downtown dining needs, having done so for nearly 20 years. Operating Fishlips in the Padre Hotel, pre-remodel, she carried on when it moved to 18th and Eye and grew as a music venue. She consulted on Texas 28, the restaurant that took over that space when Fishlips closed. And she opened Muertos in 2012 in Wall Street alley in the space once home to Suds Tavern and Pacos Tacos. She also launched CraSh Lounge, an upscale bar that serves small plates, around the corner on Eye Street in 2014.

    Haddad Byers' love of family continues in her work: While Muertos was designed in part to honor her late grandmother, Sittie, Haddad Byers said Two Goats & The Goose pays tribute to her Aries husband and son and her nickname from her dad.

    "Goose is the nickname my father has called me since I was 2. I like to do a play on words."

    She added, "My husband and son are both Aries, charming, hard-headed, stubborn goats."

    (Even though Aries is often depicted as a ram, a goat is also acknowledged.)

    Over the next week and a half, the restaurant will undergo a design refresh but no major remodeling, Haddad Byers said. Fresh paint and at least one mural, installing televisions inside and on the patio for game-watching and darts for that pub touch.

    The menu will be mix of fan favorites, daily specials and new items.

    Haddad Byers promises chile verde and fish and chips will be available daily and the specials will rotate rather than the same item offered on the same day of the week.

    "We're not starting from scratch," she said. "We're not reinventing the wheel."

    But she's revamping the hamburgers. While you'll be able to order versions of your favorites (Hudson, James, Homeboy, etc.), the focus will be on a build-your-own burger. Haddad Byers said regulars have always customized their orders but now it will be front and center on the menu. They'll be available with side options of french fries, salad or grilled green beans.

    "We've always served them," she said of the beans grilled with mushrooms. "But we're going to highlight them."

    Appetizers will still include popcorn pork, now called pork bites, and the fried mushrooms.

    "I think if I took the mushrooms off the menu someone would take a pitchfork to me."

    Hot dogs and tacos will remain as well with new additions such as beer-battered cauliflower tacos with sweet Thai chili sauce and ones with spicy chicken and jack cheese (which Fishlips diners might recall as Primus tacos).

    There will be more entrees, developed with cooks Matthew Tidwell and Filadelfo "Homeboy" Vaquero. In addition to grilled salmon and seared ahi, Two Goats will have steaks and grilled pork loin.

    If this sounds like a lot of meat, Haddad Byers also points out there will be more vegan and vegetarian options. Her son and husband's recent journey into veganism has sparked some new ideas, which she thinks will take off downtown, given the success of vegan spots Better Bowls and The Hen's Roost.

    Two Goats will continue to offer beer and wine, along with beer- or wine-based drinks such as the sangria, micheladas and blood orange jalapeno margarita. Longtime serverSarah Kirchner, who developed the aforementioned beverage, will also come up with more, which may include spirits down the road.

    Local beers will also be highlighted, with Kern River Brewing Co., Great Change Brewing andDionysus already on board.

    For now, these are the only changes Haddad Byers has planned but she said that's she's always has a need to keep creating.

    "In five years, if I'm feeling a different way ... I'm a Gemini. It's never it."

    Two Goats & The Goose opens Jan. 2 at 1514 Wall St.

    Middle Eastern appetizer feast from Medical Center restaurant Al-Amir Cafe & Grill the best thing to eat in San Antonio this month – San Antonio… - December 20, 2019 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Good food is best enjoyed in good company, and the Taste Team has a great way to combine the two with a Middle Eastern appetizer feast for two from the new Medical Center restaurant Al-Amir Cafe & Grill. It leads Decembers list of five things to eat and drink in San Antonio bars and restaurants right now.

    The month brings a solid mix of hot, cold and comforting options from the new Tlahco Mexican Kitchen on San Pedro Avenue by Oblate; tiny Thai Dee on Blanco Road near Hildebrand; the Barrios familys La Hacienda Scenic Loop on Boerne Stage Road; and the revamped Earl Abels near the Pearl.

    Meze appetizer feast

    Theres something for everyone in the Middle Eastern meze appetizer sampler for two at Al-Amir Cafe and Grill ($29.99). The 10-plate tasting incorporates familiar favorites such as hummus, baba ghanoush, falafel and tabbouleh, then branches out into the dried sausage called sujuk, the minced meat surprise of fried kibbeh and fattoush salad made with fried bread. Dont worry about the names. Just roll up some warm pita and eat. 8620 Fredericksburg Road, 210-281-8632, Facebook: Al-Amir Cafe & Grill

    Chicken tortilla soup

    In just a few short months, Tlahco Mexican Kitchen has become one of the citys best Mexican restaurants, in part because of chicken tortilla soup ($6.95) served in a thick terra-cotta bowl stocked with avocado, fried tortillas and dried chiles. Hot soup, warm tortillas. It doesnt get much more December-y than that. 6702 San Pedro Ave., 210-455-0135, Facebook: @tlahcoSA

    On ExpressNews.com: Review: Tlahco Mexican Kitchen is one of San Antonios best Mexican restaurants

    Chicken khao soi

    Thai Dee has turned a tiny space next to a convenience store into a destination for solid Thai cooking, including a chicken khao soi curry ($13) that brings together soft and crunchy noodles for a filling journey of texture and flavor. Bring your own wine; theyll supply the long-stem glasses. 5307 Blanco Road, 210-342-3622, thaideesa.com

    Margarita trio

    The Barrios family added La Hacienda Scenic Loop to their stable of Mexican restaurants in 2017, and that means another chance to get the frozen margarita trio ($10.50). Three small glasses bring icy swirls of mango and strawberry, a tangy guava and lime mix, and a respectable house margarita. Dont roll your eyes. Sometimes all you need are a nice patio, cheesy nachos and something sweet with tequila in it. 25615 Boerne Stage Road, 210-687-1818, lahaciendascenicloop.com

    Fried chicken

    Earl Abels on Broadway near the Pearl reopened in November after the latest change of hands, a quick remodeling and menu revamp. Earls Famous Original Fried Chicken Dinner ($9.95 for two pieces and two sides) is the primary reason to take a seat. Its earned that famous tag, with a craggy and well-seasoned crust over perfectly cooked, juicy yardbird. 1639 Broadway, 210-444-9424, earlabelssa.com

    Paul Bianchina: Best to rectify those missing permits before selling – Oklahoman.com - December 14, 2019 by Mr HomeBuilder

    I strongly recommend that you buy a new prehung exterior door unit, which comes complete with a new frame, exterior molding, sill and weatherstripping already installed. If its not practical to replace the entire door and frame, then consider leaving the frame in place and just replacing the door itself. Any door shop can route the hinge locations and drill the knob hole in the new door to match the exact locations of whats on the existing frame, which will make the change-out quick and easy.

    Q: I have a concern with my friend, who removed her dryer vent hose to clean it. When she couldn't replace it she placed a sock around the vent opening and secured it with a zip tie. She said her mother did this and it worked just fine. This has me worried that this is a fire hazard. Is this safe?

    A: While I applaud your friend for cleaning her dryer, what shes done is definitely NOT safe! All that a sock (or a piece of pantyhose, or whatever) will do is collect some of the lint so it doesnt go flying into the house. It does nothing to stop all that warm moist air from collecting in the house, where it becomes a breeding ground for mold and mildew, and eventually causes structural damage. Secondly, and even more important, as it dries all that lint creates an extreme fire danger.

    Please tell your friend that she needs to have her dryer correctly vented all the way to the outside of the house! And while shes at it, she needs to take care of her moms dryer, as well.

    Lustron, Homes with a past and a future – WTOL - December 14, 2019 by Mr HomeBuilder

    LUCAS COUNTY, Ohio As Houses go, they aren't the most beautiful on the block. They're boxy, a bit odd looking and small, and strangely...they are made of steel.

    Actually it is a "porcelain enameled sheet metal" said Hannah Brevoort a museum interpreter for the Ohio History Center in Columbus.

    "That why's it's a metal house and doesn't look rusty after years of use," she said.

    And they have been in use a long time ago...about 70 years.

    It was in 1948 that Lustron Homes, headed up by Columbus businessman Carl Strandlund birthed the idea to create prefabricated homes out of steel and to build all their component parts in a factory so they could be trucked to a home site and assembled in just a few weeks.

    It was a good idea and with prices starting at around $5,000 and ranging to $10,000, the cost was not exorbitant, although a bit more than the average stick-built house at the time.

    In two short years Lustron built and assembled about 3,000 homes, mostly in the Midwest. But with production and financing problems, the home of the future, became a home of history. Lustron folded.

    The Ohio History Center in Columbus has one of the Lustron homes in its museum which it says it one of its most popular attractions.

    "They were very much marketed as the Home of the Future" and in the post war age, it was believed that people would want a new type of home".

    The History Center's model was one that came from Arlington, Virginia in 2013 when it was earmarked for demolition by a contractor.

    "It was going to be torn down and the board of Arlington County decided to give it to us instead, we had been trying for years to get a real Lustron home because of the local connection."

    The model is featured as an example of what the Lustron Home offered to the modern families of the 1950's.

    It is set up now as a "living" exhibit and fully interactive with a full array of artifacts and objects from that post-war era. It is exhibited as if the family was still living there and just stepped out for a walk.

    The vintage black and white TV set even has Ozzie and Harriet playing in the living room and in the dining room, classic dinnerware is set on retro table of the era.

    The metal interior wall bookcase that looks like wood is not. A couple of knocks and on the wall, and the familiar metallic ring of steel answers back.

    In the kitchen and utility room, the original Lustron homes came with a host of modern appliances for the day, which included a unique and rare combination dishwasher and clothes washer.

    Of the 3,000 homes that Lustron manufactured during its two-year existence, about 2,000 remain standing and in use. Most have withstood the test of time.

    About 30 were built in the Toledo area, and about 20 of them remain intact.

    They appear to be rust-free, and in good condition for a 70-year-old home.

    Most have not needed any remodeling and still have their original steel roofs.

    While the homes are usually about a 1,000 square-feet in size, much smaller than most average size homes today, they still offer a maintenance free lifestyle for those who own and occupy them.

    No painting is needed on the exterior and on the interior, the porcelain walls just need to be wiped down from time to time.

    When the landlord wants to remodel but the tenant doesn’t want to leave, who wins? – Spring Hill Insider - December 14, 2019 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Question:My landlord told me in a letter that they were planning to remodel my kitchen and bath and that I would have to vacate for two weeks while the work is done.My family cant afford a hotel, and we dont have family in the area that can put us up for two weeks.Can my landlord force us to move out while the remodeling work is done?

    Answer: The landlords right to enter once the unit has been turned over to you is very limited, under California Civil Code section 1954.

    The landlordcan enter to (1) do repairs that are necessary or requested by you, (2) in emergencies, (3) if they believe thatthe unit is abandoned, (4) to show the property to prospective buyers and (5) with a court order. In every other circumstance, you control access to the unit. It follows that the landlord may not tell you to vacate simply to accommodate his or herremodeling plans.

    The landlordcan ask, however, and you may agree if you can negotiateterms and conditions that make the inconvenience worthwhile. At the very least the landlordshould offer to refund the rent for the days you have to vacate the apartment.

    If the landlordcannot persuade you to cooperate, the landlordwould have to wait until the end of your tenancy under a lease before doing this work.

    But if you are a month-to-month tenant and live in a unit not covered by a rent-control law,the landlordmay simply terminate your tenancy with a 30- or 60-day termination notice to proceed with the work.So if you like the apartmentand want to stay, it is probably in your interest to try to work something out with the landlord.

    In Los Angeles, rent-control ordinances apply to most multi-unit living quartersbuilt byOct. 1, 1978, including apartments, condos, residential hotels, mobile homes and lots containing more than one single-family home.

    For tenants of those rental units, landlords must pay temporary relocation costs if a major repair or remodel is planned. The tenants must continue paying rent and canbe evicted for refusing to allow access for repairs or improvements.

    Under all of these circumstances, the best path forward would be to ask to sit down with the landlord to understand his or herwishes, to discuss the impact on you and your family, and to agree on a plan that honors everyones needs. If the notice you received was in written form, make a written response indicating that the landlords request is problematic for you, but that you are willing to sit down with the landlord and discuss the situation.

    If your conversation with your landlord doesnt go well,you may check to see if there are community mediation services in your area and ask for their help with this conversation. Many programs are free or very low cost and provide an excellent alternative to escalating in court.
