PHILADELPHIA Quartz countertops. "Smart" homes. Energy saving. Bamboo bedding.

Acres of inspiring products and professionals were on display Saturday at the Philadelphia Home Show at the Convention Center.

But perhaps none stopped more passersby in their tracks than Rob Franks' demonstration of Scum Off.

After all, who wouldn't be curious about a cleaner (even if it's only available online and costs $20 for 16 ounces) that's tough enough for soap scum, calcium deposits, road tar, and grease - yet safe enough that Franks could squirt it (diluted) into his mouth.

"It's also a fat-burner; I used to weigh 700 pounds," Franks joked about the kelp-and-coconut-oil compound.

"You always have to be skeptical," Kim Kravalis of Magnolia, Del., said as Franks dabbed her sneaker toe, leaving it clean. "But I'll try it."

In the less prosaic realm, quartz is competing with granite for high-end kitchens. Both are made of natural stone, but granite slabs are mined whole, and quartz is ground and combined with polyester resins.

Quartz is "more durable, has more consistent color, and resists cracking and chipping," said Emily Lee, a saleswoman with Element Granite & Quartz of Philadelphia.

Three years ago, Palm Beacher Sara McCann decided to get serious about the decorating business.

After several years decorating her own island homes, seven over time, and working on projects for friends and family members, she established McCann Design Group, opening a small office in West Palm Beach.

Joining her was friend and fellow decorator Donna Morris with Ellen Kavanaugh, a licensed interior designer added to the team a year and a half ago. Both are Palm Beach residents.

Soon, we were getting so many requests and referrals that I was convinced it was time to expand and also get into the retail business, McCann said, noting her previous background as a retailer.

We thought it was a good time to step it up, with the market on the rise and everyone very bullish about real estate in Palm Beach.

We also found that as we were finishing up projects, we couldnt find everything we were looking for. We wanted to be able to offer to clients and the public a range of things we like, whether it be a sofa or a scented candle.

And so, after a gut renovation of a 12,000-square-foot West Palm Beach warehouse, McCann Design Group moved into new offices in November and debuted Hive Home, Gift & Garden, a retail emporium and showroom at 424 Palm St.

Were open to the public and also serve as a trade resource for the local decorating trade, McCann said. Its all about one-stop shopping here at Hive.

They sell furniture, lighting, fabrics, decorative accessories, works of art, linens, gifts and stationery. We have everything here for a well-appointed home, except plumbing fixtures which we can, of course, order for you, McCann said.

Prices range from $20 to $12,000.

Island decorator expands with new quarters for growing design firm and retail source

Each year, thousands of Arizona residents email or call Rosie Romeros radio show with questions about everything from preventing chimney fires to getting rid of tree roots in their sewer systems. His goal is to provide answers that suit the specific lifestyle wherever someone lives in Arizona. Here are questions about home maintenance and improvement from the Tucson area.

QUESTION: We want to remodel our home, and were planning to put down laminated wood flooring. My husband is hoping that we can put the laminate on top of some very flat ceramic tile that we have in our house. Can we do that?

ANSWER: Putting laminate over an existing tile floor may sound a lot easier than ripping out the tile first, because you wouldnt have as big a mess in your home. But any good, licensed flooring contractor would discourage you from doing that. In fact, if someone tells you that you can do it, I would avoid that contractor. Among the problems you will have is that the doors in and out of the kitchen will not open properly because youre changing the thickness of the floor. You also can have problems with appliance clearances. This overlaying technique can mean trouble, trouble, trouble. And thats not to mention that there will be no warranty on the material by the manufacturer due to the unorthodox installation technique.

Q: I have a manufactured home that has very severe calcium buildup in the hot and cold water lines. Its a city-supplied water system, and my neighbors dont seem to have the same problem. The calcium really plugs up our plumbing fixtures as well. Sometimes I need to take the fittings off and blow air through the system. What can I do about this?

A: It does seem odd that only your home has this calcium buildup while the neighbors do not. You really need an on-site analysis done by a water-treatment expert, like a water softener company, in order to diagnose your problem.

Q: I read an article that said that laurel trees produce bay leaves. Is that true, and can I plant one of those trees?

A: Yes, the bay laurel is a true laurel tree that will produce bay leaves that you can use in cooking. Its a tree that does well in Tucson.

Q: I have interlocking concrete pavers on my driveway, and some of them are sinking down. How can we repair all that?

A: There are several things that could be undermining your pavers which by the way should have been laid on top of an aggregate base, often called ABC, plus a layer of sand. You could have a small fissure or crevice under the pavers or a water leak, for example. The nice feature about pavers is that you can pick them up in the area you want to repair; see what the issue is; and then put the pavers back.

However, you can avoid many problems if you hire a firm to install a driveway or patio that has workers certified to install interlocking concrete pavers. Many inexperienced installers put down too much sand. You need a good 4 inches of the aggregate base and then just an inch of sand with more sand put between the joints.

FORT IRWIN As 2014 begins, construction workers at Fort Irwin are still repairing major damage from last years flood season.

The Army base was battered by a series of thunderstorms in July and August of 2013, with the most damage coming in the aftermath of an Aug. 25 storm that flooded a significant part of the installation.

Leslie Ozawa, Public Affairs Specialist at Fort Irwin, spoke with Muhammad Bari, director of Fort Irwins public works department, about the damages in a December article on the Armys official website.

During this storm, over 160 buildings got minor to severe damage, Bari said. ... We had leaking roofs, flooded basements and mechanical rooms, carpet damage, wall damage.

The flurry of thunderstorms caused at least three major power outages last summer.

The Aug. 25 monsoon storm caused extensive damage to Lewis Elementary School, with the schools 651 students being forced to relocate to various temporary setups on the base.

Fort Irwin Director of Public Affairs Pamela Portland told the Desert Dispatch that according to several people in the installations public works department, the monsoon brought the most severe rain to the base in more than 30 years.

No injuries or deaths were caused as a result of the flood, according to Portland. Nearly five months later, the repair efforts on the base continue. The repair contracts, valued at more than $40 million, are managed by the Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District.

In the days following the flood, all commands on Fort Irwin, its soldiers, family members and civilians, pitched in to restore and resume normal operations, Ozawa said in his Army website article. (W)ork continues on more permanent repairs, as well as on fixes to the posts vulnerability to power outages and storm damage.

Other projects on the base include the 5th Street Project, which began in September. Construction continues at the intersection of 5th Street and South Loop Road, with the aim of installing fixtures that will make it easier for larger trucks to make turns at the intersection.
