Forty Fort, PA (PRWEB) January 24, 2014
Visit the ReBath Northeast bathroom remodeling display at the 9th annual Northeastern PA Home & Garden Show beginning this weekend.
The home show is the first of the spring season in the Northeast PA area and will be held at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre Township.
ReBath Northeast will be giving away great savings on bathroom remodeling to anyone who stops by their booth this weekend. Owner and president, Rich Rome decided to change the offer for the NEPA home shows this year to give the home show-goers a big advantage.
Many of the people that go to the home shows are serious about finding contractors to work on their homes, Rome said. We want to give them a significant discount so the ones that are serious will give us a call.
This year, ReBath Northeast will be bringing four bathroom displays to show attendees. The displays include examples of a full bathroom remodel, a low barrier shower base with a ramp, a walk-in tub and an acrylic bathtub liner.
Along with the beautiful displays, ReBath Northeast will have knowledgeable associates at the booths to answer all questions. Anyone who stops by the booth and is interested in meeting with an estimator can give their information to receive a scheduling phone call.
For the first time, ReBath Northeasts sister company, 1 Week Kitchens, will also have a display. Their booth will be located next to the ReBath booth. The booths are located on the upper level, numbers 46-50.
Along with these two great booths the NEPA Home and Garden Show features nearly 100 vendors, home show only prices and celebrity appearances by Jeff Devlin and Harry Rinker of HGTV.
Hours for the show are: Friday Jan. 24, 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday Jan. 25, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday Jan. 26 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $7.50 for adults, $5.50 for seniors 65+ and free for kids under 16. Parking for this event is free.

Archaeologists in Israel have uncovered intricate mosaics on the floor of a 1,500-year-old Byzantine church, including one that bears a Christogram surrounded by birds.
The ruins were discovered during a salvage excavation ahead of a construction project in Aluma, a village about 30 miles (50 kilometers) south of Tel Aviv, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced Wednesday (Jan. 22). Excavator Davida Eisenberg Degen said the team used an industrial digger to probe a mound at the site, and through a 10-foot (3 meters) hole, they could see the white tiles of an ancient mosaic.
Much of the church was revealed during excavations over the past month. The basilica was part of a local Byzantine settlement, but the archaeologists suspect it also served as a center of Christian worship for neighboring communities because it was next to the main road running between the ancient seaport city of Ashkelon in the west and Beit Guvrin and Jerusalem in the east. [See Images of a Byzantine Mosaic Discovered in Israel]
"Usually a Byzantine village had a church, but the size of this church and its placement on the road makes it more important," Degen told LiveScience.
Remarkable finds
The excavators plan to keep working on the site for another week, but one of the most remarkable finds so far was a mosaic containing a Christogram, or a "type of monogram of the name of Jesus," Degen said.
At the time, Byzantine Christians wouldn't have put crosses on their mosaic floors so as to not step on the symbol of Christ, Degen explained.
The Christogram in the mosaic may look like a cross, but it's actually more like a "chi rho" symbol, which puts together the first two captial letters in the Greek word for Christ, and often looks like an X superimposed on a P.
There is an alpha and omega (the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet) on either side of the chi rho, which is another Christian symbol, as Christ was often described as the ""the beginning and the end."
Four birds also decorate the mosaic, and two of them are holding up a wreath to the top of the chi rho.

The Dodge Index of New Construction Starts. (PRNewsFoto/McGraw Hill Construction)
NEW YORK, Jan. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --New construction starts in December grew 5% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $554.5 billion, according to McGraw Hill Construction, a division of McGraw Hill Financial. Although both nonresidential building and housing settled back during the final month of 2013, the nonbuilding construction sector (public works and electric utilities) finished the year on a strong note. For 2013 as a whole, total construction starts advanced 6% to $516.8 billion. This follows the 10% gain reported for 2012 (which drew support from a record amount of new electric utility starts that year) and modest 2% gains in both 2010 and 2011. If the volatile electric utility category is excluded, total construction starts in 2013 would be up 14%, following a 9% gain in 2012 and essentially flat activity during 2010 and 2011.
The December statistics produced a reading of 117 for the Dodge Index (2000=100), compared to 111 in November. This marked the third highest month for the Dodge Index during 2013, after September's 118 and October's 125. During the first eight months of the year, the Dodge Index had hovered within the fairly narrow range of 100 to 108, but then showed a stronger pace of activity during the final four months, reflecting in part the impact of several very large projects. In December, large projects that were entered as construction starts included the $1.5 billion Goethals Bridge replacement project in New York and New Jersey, two large natural gas-fired power plants, and two large manufacturing plants. For all of 2013, the Dodge Index averaged 109, up from 103 in 2012.
"The construction industry in 2013 made progress towards establishing a more broad-based recovery, after several years in which the upturn was more limited in scope," stated Robert A. Murray, chief economist for McGraw Hill Construction. "Housing continued to lead the way, strengthening throughout much of 2013, and it was joined by a faster pace for commercial building, albeit from low levels. The institutional building sector registered a considerably smaller decline than in prior years, as its lengthy downturn appears to be ending. The public works sector in 2013 showed surprising strength, helped by the start of several major projects even amidst restrained government spending. Running counter in 2013 was a steep drop for new electric utility starts, after the robust amount reported in 2012. For 2014, the prospects look good for total construction, with growth anticipated for housing and commercial building, while the institutional building sector at least stabilizes."
Nonresidential building in December slipped 7% to $168.6 billion (annual rate), pulling back for the second month in a row after its elevated pace in October, although its fourth quarter average was still 17% above what was reported in the first quarter. Several commercial categories in December paused from the improved activity registered earlier in the fall. New office construction dropped 44% from November which had been lifted by the start of such projects as the $336 million Transbay office tower in San Francisco CA; in contrast, the largest office projects entered as December starts were an $80 million office complex in Cary NC and a $73 million data center in West Des Moines IA. Similar December declines were registered by hotels, down 42%; and warehouses, down 46%; although the latest month did include the start of an $88 million Amazon distribution center in Windsor CT. Store construction, which was the one commercial category that did not post a November gain, managed to increase 6% in December. The December pause for nonresidential building was cushioned by a sharp 110% jump for manufacturing buildings, which reflected the start of two massive chemical plants in Louisiana, each valued at $500 million.
The institutional building categories in December were mixed. Educational facilities grew 5%, helped by the start of a $213 medical research building in Boston MA and a $151 million college science building in Chicago IL. Healthcare facilities in December jumped 30% from the prior month's subdued amount, and featured groundbreaking for an $80 million hospital in Virginia and a $70 million cancer center in Wisconsin. The smaller institutional categories generally weakened in December, with public buildings (courthouses and detention facilities) down 32%; churches, down 44%; and amusement-related work, down 46% (compared to the previous month which included the $763 million Vikings Multipurpose Stadium in Minneapolis MN). The transportation terminal category retreated a slight 1% in December, and included the start of a $230 million terminal renovation project at Los Angeles International Airport.
For 2013 as a whole, nonresidential building increased 7% to $168.6 billion, shifting to an upward direction after the 5% decline reported for 2012. The commercial categories overall advanced 16%, faster than the 13% gain witnessed in 2012. The strongest gain by commercial category was registered by hotels, up 28%; followed by warehouses, up 27%; office buildings, up 17%; and stores, up 1%. The small 2013 increase for stores was limited by the comparison to 2012 that included the $400 million renovation to Macy's flagship department store in New York NY. The manufacturing building category in 2013 surged 36%, helped by the two large chemical plants in Louisiana reported as December starts as well as by such projects as a $1.7 billion fertilizer plant in Iowa, a $1.7 billion natural gas processing plant in West Virginia, and a $1.5 billion industrial gas products plant in Louisiana. The institutional building group during 2013 decreased 3%, less severe than declines of 9% in 2012 and 11% in 2011. The two largest institutional categories performed as follows educational buildings, down 1%; and healthcare facilities, down 6%. The smaller institutional categories showed this pattern for 2013 amusement-related work, up 25%; transportation terminals, down 2%; churches down 11%; and public buildings, down 27%.
Residential building in December dropped 6% to $205.3 billion (annual rate), with both sides of the housing market easing back. Single family housing slipped 3%, as recent months have shown more of an up-and-down pattern after the consistently steady gains witnessed earlier in the year. When viewed on a quarterly basis, single family housing still registered consistent growth during 2013, with the fourth quarter up 8% compared to the first quarter. Multifamily housing in December retreated 13% after November's increase of the same magnitude. December's largest multifamily projects were smaller in scale than what had been reported in the previous month, but still included such substantial entries as a $159 million apartment building in Sunny Isles Beach FL, a $128 million condominium tower in Honolulu HI, and a $127 million apartment building in Brooklyn NY.
The 2013 amount for residential building was $205.5 billion, up 24%, and close to the 31% gain reported for 2012. Single family housing in dollar terms climbed 26%, similar to the prior year's 29% hike. The regional pattern for single family housing in 2013 showed increases for all five major regions, as follows the South Atlantic, up 33%; the Midwest, up 27%; the West and Northeast, each up 26%; and the South Central, up 18%. Multifamily housing in 2013 advanced 16%, showing additional growth on top of the increases in 2010 (up 23%), 2011 (up 33%), and 2012 (up 37%). By major region, multifamily housing revealed this performance in 2013 the Midwest, up 26%; the Northeast, up 24%; the South Atlantic, up 21%; the West, up 13%; and the South Central, down 6%. The top five metropolitan areas in terms of the 2013 dollar amount of multifamily starts, with the percent change from 2012, were New York NY, up 23%; Boston MA, up 74%; Washington DC, unchanged from the prior year; Miami FL, up 12%; and Los Angeles CA, down 24%. Metropolitan areas ranked 6 through 10 for multifamily starts were Dallas-Ft. Worth TX, down 6%; Chicago IL, up 52%; Seattle WA, unchanged from the prior year, San Francisco CA, up 12%; and Denver CO, up 17%.
Nonbuilding construction in December soared 40% to $180.6 billion (annual rate), which was the highest monthly rate during 2013. Bridge construction jumped 210%, boosted by the $1.5 billion Goethals Bridge replacement project in Staten Island NY and Elizabeth NJ. Other large bridge projects that were entered as December starts were $380 million for bridge construction in Stillwater MN and $297 million for bridge construction on the I-35W reconstruction project in Texas. The highway construction category also had a
