    William Hahn, 84

    William E. Hahn, 84, Marengo, died Jan. 24, 2012, in Mission, Texas, after years of struggling with Parkinson’s disease, with his partner and companion Betty Mouchka by his side.
    Graveside services will be held at a later date at the Marengo Cemetery.
    William E. Hahn was born Aug. 28, 1927, in Rupert, Idaho, the son of Lawrence and Helen (Cook) Hahn.
    His early years were spent in Britt, Iowa. He later moved to Swaledale, where he graduated from high school. Upon graduation, he enlisted in the Army and served two years of active duty. Following his discharge, he returned to Swaledale and married his high school sweetheart, Maryann Ingham. They had two children, Michael J. Hahn and Nancy A. Hahn (Graybeal).
    Bill, Mary, Mike and Nancy lived in Colorado and Iowa while Bill worked in the oil fields and tried his hand at motel ownership. Their travels brought them to Iowa City, where he worked for University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
    As he retired from his position at the hospital, he met his partner and companion, Betty Mouchka. Together, they owned and operated a wood refinishing/framing shop in Marengo.
    There was a creative side to Bill. Whether it was building a sunroom, refinishing a piece of furniture or building a motor home from a 1947 Greyhound bus, he was happiest when tinkering.
    Above all, he was most proud of his children. Their achievements in family and life provided him both pride and comfort knowing they were well.
    In his final years, he and Betty enjoyed winters in Mission, Texas, and summers in Iowa. As his health deteriorated, the travels diminished and Texas became home.
    Mike and Nancy will be forever grateful for Betty’s support during the final years of Bill’s life.

    Free Guide to Top Quality Home Improvement from Four Seasons Sunrooms & Windows - February 2, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Sunroom and Window manufacturer Four Seasons, is offering a new free guide to help consumers considering undertaking major home improvement projects this summer.

    (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

    Sunroom and window manufacturer Four Seasons Sunrooms, is offering a free guide to help consumers considering undertaking major home improvement projects this summer.

    Adding living space to a home is an investment that provides families with years of pleasure and enjoyment, but the key to the entire process is planning. Four Seasons Sunrooms has found that most homeowners thinking of building a new extension or room addition on their homes have a difficult time knowing where to start the process.

    To help navigate these unfamiliar waters, the home improvement products manufacturer has taken its more than 35 years of experience building sunrooms, conservatories, patio rooms, windows, and entry and security storm doors, and put it into a special guide for homeowners.

    Four Seasons' free "Essential Guide to Sunrooms" helps consumers through the myriad of issues that come up during major remodeling projects from planning, right through completion. It also offers a solution that most homeowners don't consider... a true, four-season sunroom or conservatory, which offers just as much space, and more beauty, than a traditionally built room addition.

    "The Essential Guide to Sunrooms" provides information and worksheets to help homeowners start thinking about the many issues involved in the project before the actual design process even begins. From where to locate the new addition on the property to deciding the size, shape and materials of a new dream room, "The Essential Guide to Sunrooms" can help guide homeowners through many of the issues they will need to consider as they plan their new patio enclosure, sunroom or conservatory addition.

    "I didn't know where to turn," Susan DeAngelis of Long Island, New York said of the apprehension she felt when she wanted to start planning her new addition. "'The Essential Guide to Sunrooms' helped break the process down into small, simple steps. It really helped take the fear out of the entire process."

    When considering a major remodeling project, there is no substitute for experience and the advice of someone with years of experience with projects just like yours can be invaluable. This type of resource can let homeowners know the questions to ask themselves and their contractor to ensure that they receive their dream room and avoid the nightmare of going into a project like this without the proper preparation.

    From planning where to locate the new sunroom, conservatory or patio room on the property to deciding the size, shape and materials of the new addition, "The Essential Guide to Sunrooms" can help guide homeowners through all the issues they will need to consider as they plan their new dream room, including:

    -How will you use the room?

    -How will you decorate it?

    -What materials should you use?

    -What kind of maintenance will it require?

    -How do you make sure that the company you hire will do a good job?

    -Who do you trust?

    -And many, many more.

    To order your FREE copy of "The Essential Guide to Sunrooms" visit http://www.FourSeasonsSunrooms.com or call 1-800 FOUR SEASONS.

    Four Seasons manufactures and ships the premier year-round glass room additions, sunrooms, conservatories and patio enclosures; replacement windows and doors; screen and porch enclosures to over 300 independently owned and operated franchises, dealers and company owned and operated locations worldwide.

    NEW BEDFORD — Beautiful even in winter, the Home of the
    Week must be a sight to behold in warmer weather. The arts and
    crafts-style home has well-maintained gardens surrounding it.
    In the spring and summer, perennials fill the yard with color,
    complementing the shrubs and mature trees.

    "This is really nice in the summertime," said Patti
    Conway, the listing agent for the home with Anne Whiting Real
    Estate. "The gardens are gorgeous."

    The house has natural wood shingles and a new roof. In
    addition to the lawn, there is outdoor space in the form of a
    deck and two patios. The home is made all the more charming by
    its proximity to Buttonwood Park, which can be seen from the
    eastern side of the house and is only about 200 feet away. The
    house is also close to several highways, including Routes 6,
    140 and I-195. Past the yard, there is a detached oversized
    one-car garage.

    Inside, modern updates have been tastefully paired with
    some of the home's older features, such as the exposed
    whitewashed radiators and high baseboards. Add to this the
    current owner's simple, elegant d?cor, and the home takes on
    the cottage feel it exudes from the outside.

    The front door opens into a small hardwood floor foyer
    area, with stairs to the left and the rest of the home to the
    right. An open living room and dining room area lets in plenty
    of light with two sets of mullioned windows and a sunroom,
    which is positioned off the living area. From the sunroom, you
    can see the lilies that are out on the deck each spring, and
    the pond at Buttonwood Park is visible.


    Off of the dining area is the house's first bedroom. It
    has hardwood floors as well as built-ins and a closet for
    plenty of storage. A ceiling fan is another attractive feature.
    At the back of the house is a den which could also count as a
    bedroom, as it has a closet.

    Currently, the closet has the doors removed and is acting
    as an alcove for a television, which is another creative use
    for the space.

    Positioned next to the kitchen, this room could also be a
    dining room.

    A full bath with a corner cabinet and a window over the
    tub is a charming and relaxing spot.

    The kitchen has been updated to include some stainless
    appliances, modern cherry cabinets and plenty of counter space.
    It is large enough to be an eat-in kitchen if desired. A
    microwave is built in, and the stove is electric. Off the
    kitchen is a set of steps. Take a few steps down to access the
    side door and the deck. After this landing, continue down the
    stairs to the unfinished basement.


    "You can live on one level," Conway said.

    Two first-floor bedrooms will appeal to many potential
    buyers, though the second floor master suite is a major draw as
    well.

    The stairs near the front door lead to a private second
    floor master suite, which includes skylights and two closets,
    one of which is a walk-in. Across from the walk-in closet,
    there is an alcove that fits a sofa. The space measures about
    19 feet by 18 feet. It also includes a private bath with a
    walk-in shower, double sinks and a small octagonal window that
    adds light and style to the room. The bathroom closet holds the
    washer and dryer, although there are additional hookups in the
    basement.

    A winning location that is close to both peaceful
    recreation and major highways is the icing on the cake for this
    delightful home.

    "It's a charming house," Conway said.
