With concrete walkways torn up and deep trenches dug, construction crews are working to replace a leaky pipe leading to El Torito Mexican Restaurant.

Similar repairs and maintenance to aging infrastructure throughout the port have cost an estimated $2 million since 2005, said OC Dana Point Harbor Director Brad Gross. In addition to that, the current repairs are likely to cost another $100,000, he said.

The leak started in a fire supply line to El Torito. Crews repaired the line, but a required fire inspection and subsequent pressure test turned up problems with original materials. An increase in pressure requirements proved too much for the original pipes, and caused additional failures in the line, Gross said.

A larger portion of the pipeline is now being replaced with a material able to withstand current water pressure requirements, he said. Pipe replacement could be wrapped up in the next few days, Gross said, followed by the replacement of a concrete walkway and steps to the restaurant.

Aside from messy walkways and bulky machinery, Gross said businesses are operating as usual.

ROANOKE, Va. -

It's been close to three weeks since construction in downtown's Market area began. January is a slow month for stores and restaurants on the market, but the construction is adding more challenges.

The construction is causing some people to shy away from the downtown area as a whole, but the city is helping businesses there creatively keep the customers coming.

It's a popular spot for a bite, some shopping and a drink. But extensive construction in Roanoke's downtown is causing some hiccups, but not for every business on the block.

"So far I haven't seen too much I haven't heard much of the grumbling just yet but as we get colder, and maybe into the next few weeks as it really starts to take off, maybe I might hear some more," Director of Operations for Billy's Restaurant, Colin Jones, told Your Hometown News Leader.

The Blue's Barbeque Company is a popular bar and restaurant on the market. For weeks now, the business has been directly blocked by the fence surrounding the construction. But, management says, the city is stepping.

"We got some money from the city for advertisement we've been putting ads on the radio and on television as well. Advertisement downtown, they've been helping out a lot with the signs on the fence just to make sure people know we're still open," the floor manager for Blue's Barbeque Company, Michael Strubel told WDBJ7.

For the most part, businesses are pleased with how the city is handling the construction, and rely on organizations like Downtown Roanoke Incorporated to be a go between .

Matt Klepeisz, with Downtown Roanoke Incorporated said, "we've really done the best we can to keep going between them to make sure that everything is going smoothly and that everybody understands what's going on."

To keep people coming downtown, many of the shops are having sales and specials. According to city officials, construction should be complete in April.

The only thing that John Hall, principal designer at Hall Design Group in Chagrin Falls, requires of new clients at the start of a remodeling project is an open mind.

Then we can work through the planning process together, Hall said during a presentation on the opening day of the NARI Home Improvement Show running through Sunday, Jan. 26 at the I-X Center. The show gives homeowners who are planning spring home improvement projects an opportunity to see new products and talk with some of the areas top design/build companies and interior designers.

Everyone who starts a project needs to know if they define themselves as a DIYer, a DIYer who needs design guidelines or someone who needs a professional to do the job for them, Hall said.

During the initial phases, you should gather photographs of what you like, talk to friends and visit showrooms, home shows and model homes, he said. Houzz.com and Gardenweb.com are helpful websites that allow web browses to share photos and ideas.

Every job has three phases design, product and labor. The labor will make or break a job, Hall said. You shouldnt be in business if you cant return phone calls in 24 hours.

NARI Home Show visitors found ideas and inspiration at the Neighborhood Trends exhibit sponsored by Artistic Renovations, a design/build firm in Seven Hills. The display included a contemporary suburban living/kitchen space featuring a gas fireplace, custom cabinetry and backsplash tiles made of recycled glass. A modern downtown loft space featured furniture made from reclaimed lumber and LED lighting.

Were showing what is available in Cleveland, said Artistic Renovations president Ken Perrin.

The NARI Home Improvement Show takes place at the I-X Center this weekend. Hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 24-25, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 26. Admission: $14. Contact: NARIHomeShow.com

Fans of home-remodeling shows know the satisfaction that comes with seeing the finished product.

The big reveal of a decor nightmare turned homeowner's dream can be gratifying and inspiring. But designers and contractors urge anyone envisioning similar results in their own homes to be realistic about projects that will take much longer than a half-hour.

You have to remember it's a TV show, says Dave Seymour, co-host of A&E's Flipping Boston, with a laugh. If we showed you every single step, nobody would watch. You can only film somebody putting in a nail so many times.

The popularity of shows like Seymour's have more people thinking about home-remodeling projects, say local contractors and designers. That trend has pros and cons, depending on how realistic homeowners' expectations are, they say.

It educates them about the possibilities of creative spaces, says Liz Murphy, a Sewickley-based interior designer. All the shows have made the whole idea of interior design so much more approachable.

These days, more programs show both the ups and downs of home remodeling, which give audiences a truer sense of what the jobs can entail, Murphy says.

In some respects, the majority of the shows do educate viewers to the realities of renovations, she says. Now, we're seeing more that don't just tear down walls, and there's no glitches. The newer shows always have issues that arise. People are more conscious that things can go wrong. Budgets need to change. You have to plan for the unexpected.

Particularly when it comes to the time remodeling jobs take, some shows can be way off, Murphy says. Those shows often have sponsors who provide all the materials necessary to eliminate the usual weeks of waiting.

The ridiculous ones are the shows that concentrate on speed, she says. They drive me crazy. You can't force people to work that fast and guarantee it's going to be well-done.

Before and after dreams: TV shows give homeowners big ideas

Naples, Florida (PRWEB) January 24, 2014

After Real Estate Scorecard's trip to the French Riveria, they see where lady real estate developer Margeret Antonier caught her vision for Miromar Lakes built in north Naples, Florida. Originally a deep rock quarry, the white coral bottom provides a perfect floor to reflect the aquamarine water in the two Miromar lakes. Homes and condominiums with terra cotta roofs and white washed walls contrast beautifully against the lakes. One property owner describes the neighborhood as a perfect heaven in Southwest Florida.

Miromar Lakes is a one-of-a-kind master-planned community. A neighborhood where Europe meets South Beach modernism. Italian-style bridges and tall Royal Palm trees compliment the beauty of this gated Florida lake community spread across 1,800 acres. After visitors pass through the grandiose entrance gate, theyre greeted by white sandy beaches and beach cabanas draped in white fabric. The communitys 39,000 square foot beach clubhouse is one of the most luxurious Real Estate Scorecard has seen with an infinity-edge pool overlooking the lake, chic interior decor and impressive lakeside Blue Water Beach Grill. The lakes are a freshwater playground dotted with sailboats, paddle boards and kayaks.

The architectural-style turns to Tuscany around the championship golf course where visitors will find a second clubhouse and dining. More amenities include a full service spa, fitness center and bocce ball courts. The communitys curb appeal and exclusivity has naturally attracted more affluent Europeans and Canadians seeking winter homes. The social calendar is filled with activities creating an opportunity for property owners to get to know one another.

Miromar Lakes has won over 100 design and building awards since 2001. Does Miromar Lakes need another award from Real Estate Scorecard? Probably not, but Real Estate Scorecard wants to be sure readers know about this fantastic Florida lake community with an international flavor. Homes begin in the $500ks and can easily exceed $5 million.
