    PREMISE CABLE MARKET SIZE IN TERMS OF VOLUME AND VALUE 2019-2026 – NeighborWebSJ

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Theglobal premise cable market size was valued at $4.8 billion in 2018, and is projected to reach $9.3 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2019 to 2026. Premise cables are used in on-premise wirings to establish telecommunication transmission lines with either copper cables or optical fibers. These wirings consist of vertical and horizontal cables, which are extended from the point-of-entry to user work areas, i.e. they run from a central location such as a server room throughout the building to individual desktops. For premise wiring, CAT5e and CAT6 are the standard cables used for LAN, which comprises copper as its core.

    Ask McEnearney: 10 steps to keep in mind if you are thinking of renovating / remodeling – Inside NoVA

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    According to Merriam-Webster, "remodel" is "to alter the structureof; to remake. Whereas "renovate" is to restore to a former better state (as by cleaning, repairing or rebuilding).

    So, I hear they arent making any more land. Maybe thats why its so expensive. It must also be why some people find themselves looking to remodel or renovate an improvement. Did you know thats what a building structure, like a house, is? If you look at your tax record, there is a reference for tax on thelandand one for tax on theimprovement. That improvement is your house. And, lets face it, some improvements are in serious need of a remodel or renovation!

    Not sure you want to buy, or cant afford to buy the kind of home you want now? Consider remodeling or renovating. It can be a good strategy and longer-term plan particularly well suited if you love where you currently live or if there is a particular area you like but you cant find a home that meets your needs. Buy one that COULD suit your needs later and plan to remodel or renovate. Create the home you want tailor it to fit your needs. Buy the rambler and in five years pop the top to create a colonial! Add a new roofline to that Cape Cod making true, usable rooms in the attic You get the idea.

    I recently visited a client named Jill and was reminded what a great strategy this can be. Jill and her husband love their neighborhood and dont want to leave but are out of space and tired of the style of their home with its dated features and what seems to be an unusable hillside yard. Moving to a bigger and more contemporary home is cost-prohibitive. So, we strategized and discussed staying and remodeling, adding, and maximizing that hillside. If this sounds familiar, youre probably wondering, what should I consider?

    First, make sure you really like what the home could be and the overall location.

    Second, make sure that the neighborhood can support a big remodel or renovation (as Realtors always think future resale! Will your planned updates make sense?).

    Third,if there is a homeowners association,will the project youre considering be allowed?Youll need to check the community by-laws carefully.

    Fourth,set a budget. While often not as expensive as buying, renovating is not cheap especially since the recent pandemic has disrupted supply chains.

    Fifth,consult smart, experienced professionals. Do you need an architect? Builder? Class A contractor? Landscape architect? Interior designer / space planner? Yes, you will spend some money, but I have learned, first-hand, that you will make up for it in errors you would have made without the assistance of these qualified professionals. They can save you costly mistakes and time, not to mention stress! Another bonus is they often get discounts on materials, furniture, finishes, or services that you would not get as a member of the general public. Professionals can help you realize goals that are important to you. Do you want to build green or use recycled or reclaimed material? Carry along a certain style or theme throughout? Maybe you want designated spaces for your hobbies? They can help you achieve all of this. As a Realtor, I cant tell you how often Ive heard, I wish I would have consulted with someone about some perceived mistake. You will have a better product and more enjoyable space in the end, if you consult with quality professionals.

    Sixth,come up with a game plan and be specific and realistic what can you do when? How long will it take?

    Seventh,consider unforeseen costs. Will you have to move out of the house for a while and will you need movers to help? What about storage costs for your belongings?

    Eighth,make sure you have the appropriate insurance on your property if you will have people there working.

    Ninth,dont spend all of your money on the inside and leave no funds for the outside. We have all seen the giant castle on a barren piece of land! Landscaping sets the stage, frames the home, invites and welcomes, and softens hard edges These days, our outside spaces have proven to be more important than ever. They are our escape from home school, Zoom meetings, and a safer space to visit with friends.

    Tenth,when it is done ENJOY your improved improvement. As we have learned this year there may come a time when you spend more time in your home than you would have ever imagined!

    Oregon’s wildfire recovery debris removal begins with clearing of hazard trees – KTVZ

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) - Crews around the state are beginning to clear roads and private properties of trees damaged in Septembers wildfires.

    The tree-clearing is part of the Oregon Wildfire Recovery Debris Management Task Forces effort to provide cleanup for homes and businesses in the eight affected counties Clackamas, Douglas, Jackson, Klamath, Lane, Lincoln, Linn and Marion.

    The work paves the way for rebuilding efforts, community recovery and helps revitalize Oregons economy, the state Office of Emergency Management said in a news release Thursday, which continues in full below:

    Before crews begin clearing hazard trees from private property, they will clear remaining logs and debris from roadsides. Drivers in fire-affected areas should keep an eye out for crews and be prepared to stop.

    State contractors are marking trees for removal with blue dot and a barcode tracking tag. Many other entities, including utilities and private companies, continue with their own tree removal operations and have their own markings.

    On private property, dead or dying trees will be removed if they pose a threat to the safety of cleanup crew or public right of ways. Ash and structural debris removal will soon follow, including concrete and other household and construction materials, from private homes and businesses. A list of what is included in cleanup isavailable.

    Hazard trees and ash and debris cleanup are the focus of Step 2 of the cleanup, and includes homes, mobile home parks, second homes, businesses and other structures. Step 1 involved removal of hazardous household waste and was completed in December.

    Home and business owners must sign an All Wildfire Debris Right of Entry Form with their county to allow cleanup crews onto their property. Visithttps://wildfire.oregon.gov/or call 503-934-1700 to submit your form and for more information. Even those who did not join in Step 1 of the cleanup may still opt into the program.

    Participating property owners also need to complete a questionnaire about their property, to help with planning and ensure an efficient, safe removal of debris.

    The contractors

    As the task forces contract manager, the Oregon Department of Transportation is awarding three types of contracts for Step 2: hazard tree removal, debris and ash removal, and monitoring.

    Given the large geographic area and volume of work, ODOT awarded the hazard tree, and ash and debris removal contracts over multiple operational areas and not as a single statewide contract.

    A separate company is monitoring the cleanup work, environmental testing, and document completion of Step 2, property by property. The Federal Emergency Management Agency requires an independent company to perform monitoring work. This firm will monitor contractors removing hazard trees, ash, and debris to ensure cleanup and safety protocols and proper accounting. FEMA requires monitoring to control costs, reduce waste, and help eliminate fraud.

    ODOT has awarded the following contracts:

    Monitoring (1)

    CDR Maguire Emergency Management

    Hazard Tree Removal (3)

    Ceres Disaster Recovery Disaster Recovery Ceres Environmental

    ECC https://www.ecc.net/ecc/

    Suulutaaq Inc. suulutaq.com

    A video describing the OR 126 Holiday Farm Fire hazard tree removal work isavailable.

    Ash and debris removal contracts have been awarded and that work also begins later this month.

    Oregons 2020 Labor Day fires constitute the largest and most expensive disaster in our states history, burning over 1 million acres and destroying over 5,000 structures.

    Initial estimates put the debris cleanup from the September 2020 Oregon wildfires at over $600 million, including $326 million for ash and debris removal and $295 million to remove hazard trees.

    Paradise Rebuilding and Recovery: Preview into 2021 – Action News Now

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    PARADISE, Calif. -Action News Now continues to provide the latest updates on recovery and rebuilding in the Town of Paradise. Below this article is a full preview of the Town's goals for 2021.

    PREVIEW OF 2021

    As the community embarks on our third year of recovery after the Camp Fire, the Town of Paradise is excitedto share some project milestones they anticipate in 2021.

    Removing Hazardous Trees Removing barriers to rebuilding: The GovernmentTree Program is currently removing about 200-250 hazardous trees per day. The town expectsthis program to be completed in the first quarter of 2021. The Town of Paradise hasapplied for additional Federal funding to remove the remaining hazardous trees onprivate property that were not eligible for the government program. If we receive thefunding, the Town will start removing those additional trees later this year.

    Reseeding Program Plan Recreating beauty on the Ridge: The next step afterremoving hazardous trees damaged by the Camp Fire is to re-plant and re-seed thecommunity. The Town received a grant for this purpose and will be welcomingproposals in early 2021 from contractors to evaluate and establish the next steps forreseeding after tree removal and educating the community on vegetation opportunities.Once a contractor has been established, we anticipate community input and educationopportunities throughout 2021. Upon completion of the plan, the Town will seek fundingto implement a re-seeding program in 2022-2024.

    Sewer Economic recovery and opportunity: With the Councils approval of the RegionalSewer Connection to the City of Chico late last year, the Town has begun theEnvironmental Review Process for the Sewer Project. The project would install a sewerin the primarily commercial areas of Skyway, Pearson and Clark. The Environmentalprocess is expected to take about 18 months, then we will move on to design andconstruction in about 3-5 years. A sewer for the primarily commercial areas of Paradiseis important for the recovery of our businesses and economy. For more information onthis important project, visit http://www.paradisesewer.com.

    Early Warning System Safety for residents in an emergency: The safety of the town'sresidents continues to be a top priority. With the Early Warning System plancompleted and approved last fall, the Town is submitting a grant application forconstruction funding. Pending approval, construction is estimated to begin in 2021.

    Broadband Services Increased access for businesses and residents:The town says itanticipates our Broadband Feasibility Study to be completed and presented in early 2021.This will answer questions about the possibilities we have for a broadband community and what implementation would look like. In the coming years, the town says it will have a focus onestablishing implementation opportunities.

    Roads Prioritizing road improvements: In 2021 The Town will be working on its Transportation Master Plan, funded by the Economic Development Administration (EDA)last year. This study will conduct a holistic analysis of the Paradise transportationnetwork and will outline critical gaps in infrastructure, conflicts, pinch points and otherbarriers to potential future evacuation events. Using this information, the study willidentify priorities and a plan for town-wide safety and circulation improvements.

    Frustrations over tree removal program in Paradise – Action News Now

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    PARADISE, Calif. -Some people in Paradise are frustrated over the way tree removal is being handled.

    "We are being burdened again, those of us that are victims in the fire are being burdened again by more government ineptness," said Steve Culleton.

    Steve Culleton is a Camp Fire survivor who says because trees weren't removed quickly, they are now getting snapped from the wind... and then says those trees are not going to be removed.

    "FEMA allotted the money to do this, they had an estimated 300,000 trees, and now they have paired down to 100,000 or 75,000 or whatever it is. They have already allocated the money," said Culleton.

    The frustration is about the trees that have blue dots on them and are snapped halfway down.

    Because the weather has already broken them, there is no guarantee they will be removed, even though they were marked in the original tree removal program.

    "Before we have a chance to remove it and it has come down by weather, it needs to be assessed to see if it is still a threat to the public right of way. If it is still a threat it will be removed," said Jim Kyle from Cal OES.

    "That is my point, you allocated the money, it is not about some budget thing. You identified the trees, you mapped them, you had arborists certify they are dead. You tagged them, you marked them they are ready to go, your program got delayed, so now it is winter time and now we have winds and wet dirt, and some of them are falling over. You still have to haul it off, why would you put it on the homeowner," said Culleton.

    "It stands the most threat while it is still standing, and coming down. If it is already down it is a new story, we have to see if it is still a threat or not," said Kyle.

    Culleton added during the tree removal process, the stump is still left and the homeowner has to deal with it.

    Removal Of Trees At The Colby Townhomes Site – Patch.com

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    January 13, 2021

    This week, the Community Development Department approved the removal of the existing trees located within the two surface parking lots north and south of Colby Circle. Street trees along the easterly portion of Colby Circle and along Indian Hill Boulevard (north and south of Colby Circle) are also being removed, and will be replaced as part of the new project landscaping. The existing Coast Live Oak tree located at the north knuckle of Colby Circle will be retained.

    Tree removal is the first step in the demolition of the parking lots to allow the grading and construction of the 96-unit Colby Townhomes. The project was originally approved under the Old School House/Claremont Inn Specific Plan in 2006, and the project design was approved by the Architectural Commission in 2008, with several revisions approved in 2019.

    The developer of the project, Intracorp Homes, will begin tree removal activities on Thursday, January 14, 2021.

    Kinsmen Participark in Beban Park will be closed next week so city workers can remove dangerous trees and invasive plant species. The work is the start of an improvement project that includes replacing signs and fitness stations in the spring. (Chris Bush/News Bulletin)

    Tree cutting to start in Beban Parks Kinsmen Participark as part of improvement project

    Hazardous trees and invasive plants are about to be removed from Kinsmen Participark, located in Beban Park.

    According to a City of Nanaimo press release, the work will start Monday, Jan. 18, to enhance the health of the forest ecosystem and improve usability of the park by removing hazardous trees and invasive plant species. Replanting will follow in the spring.

    The project is a precursor to further planned improvements to the park that will include new educational interpretive signs and replacement of old workout stations with a new workout station circuit.

    The park will be closed while the tree removal work is carried out Jan. 18-22.

    Coupled with future replanting, the tree work planned for the Participark will protect and enhance the valuable forest ecosystem which we are fortunate to have in the heart of the city, said Charlotte Davis, city parks operations manager, in the press release. This work is the first step in an exciting plan to improve the user experience of this park.

    Insurance A to Z: What you need to know about your policy – WFMYNews2.com

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Christopher Cook from Alliance Insurance Services joined 2WTK to answer viewers' insurance-related questions.

    GREENSBORO, N.C. Christopher Cook from Alliance Insurance Services joined 2WTK to answer your questions.

    AUTO INSURANCE. DO YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED?

    NC law requires you to have liability insurance. This pays for damage and injuries to other drivers. Collision coverage is optional. It pays for damages to your car. Without it, all your accident expenses are out of pocket.

    Comprehensive coverage is for non-accident issues, like if a tree falls on your car. If you dont have comprehensive, you also pay for repairs out of pocket.

    GAP INSURANCE. This kind of insurance is good when you have a car you are still paying for. For example:

    Your car is worth only $25,000

    If you get into an accident, and your car is totaled, your insurance will only pay you $25,000. If you owe $30,000 on the loan, youll still have to pay that $5,000 even though you dont have a car! GAP insurance covers the difference in the cost and worth.

    COULD YOU REMEMBER EVERYTHING IN YOUR HOUSE?

    No. Which is why its smart to do a home inventory. Its basically a list of the contents of your house.

    You can do it with your phone. Video your electronics, art, furniture, appliances. Open cabinets, the garage, closets. Scan model numbers.

    Then send that video to your insurance agent, copy it to your email at home and at work so you always have a copy.

    DID YOU GET MARRIED OR ENGAGED?

    You need to get insurance on the ring. Most standard policies only cover about $1,500 in jewelry. Chances are, you would need more than that to replace the ring if something happened to it. For about $5 to $10 a month, you can make sure the ring could be replaced if it was lost, stolen, etc.

    The answer most of the time is.you. If your tree falls on your house or your neighbor's tree falls on your house, its your insurance. The only time this doesnt hold true is if the tree was documented to be a problem.

    Know this, homeowners policies cover house damage due to a fallen tree. If the tree just falls in the yard, its your responsibility. And, homeowner policies dont cover tree removal clean-up.

    Know this, homeowners policies cover house damage due to a fallen tree. If the tree just falls in the yard, its your responsibility. And, homeowner policies dont cover tree removal clean-up.

    Your homeowner policies cover nothing flood-related.Flood and content policies are extra. For example: to cover a $150,000 house in a low-risk area will cost you about $400 a year.

    30 new trees to be planted at Norwalks Calf Pasture Beach – Thehour.com

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    NORWALK After the coronavirus pandemic and the summer drought pushed the plans back a year, 30 maple trees are set to be planted at Calf Pasture Beach come spring, according to Superintendent of Parks and Public Property Ken Hughes.

    Initially, the trees were set to be planted in spring 2020, but the pandemic disrupted the plans and the dryness of subsequent summer forced them to be moved to 2021.

    Hughes, a licensed arborist, has worked with the city of Norwalk for 10 years and is the sole arborist employed by the city, he said.

    About 75 percent of the young maples will be planted in the parking lot island and the remainder will be scattered throughout the beach, Hughes said.

    Theyll be planted first thing in the spring when the weather allows, middle to end of April hopefully, Hughes said. But the weather has been so wacky who knows.

    Maples were chosen as the species fares best in the conditions, he noted.

    The conditions down at the beach are not the best conditions to grow trees, Hughes said. You have salt spray, the public climbing trees.

    The parks department has an annual allotment of $50,000 to be spend on trees. Each new maple to be planted cost $1,800, for a total of $54,000, Hughes said.

    About four years ago, an additional 35 trees were planted along the beach, Hughes said, adding as older or damaged trees require removal, the city is quick to replace them.

    The only time we remove a tree is if theres an imminent risk to the public, he said. If the tree is on a consistent decline, any large limbs need to be removed. We dont go around randomly removing trees.

    One particular trees removal recently caught the publics attention, however, resulting in Norwalk residents taking to social media to share their favorite pictures of it and question if the removal was necessary.

    During the rain storm which hit the area last month on Christmas Eve, the well-known tree growing in the middle of the beach was severely damaged and removed.

    Ill be honest, that tree was growing in the most unfriendly conditions, Hughes wrote in response to a Facebook post. Im not sure a new tree would survive long in that location. Storm tides are getting higher and higher and reach the root system (contributed to demise).

    Resident Jurgen Pichler, 60, said he is unhappy with the mainenance of the citys beaches, particularly upkeep conducted on the trees.

    Additionally, Pichler said he is concerned about the citys efforts to drive away the Canadian geese that congregate on the shore.

    The Canadian geese are great, Pichler said. They fertilize the grass, it grows nice and lush, yet the recreation thinks its OK to spend money to pay somebody to chase the geese away.

    However, the Canadian geese and the amount of feces on the has become a health concern, Hughes said.

    We take pride in the maintenance at the beach, but we are limited by budget and manpower, Hughes said. Thats the reality of things. I want to go plant and prune every tree, but its not realistic.
