Minecraft-Remodeling the house - Video
(PRWEB) May 14, 2013
Its spring and spring brings about the chance to remodel some of the more often used rooms in a home, especially a bathroom. When remodeling, the two rooms that will create more value to the home will be the kitchen and bathrooms. It is important not to cut on the budget for these two areas.
Making a choice for the proper flooring in a bathroom requires some forethought and planning on the part of the home owner. There are a variety of flooring choices out there for consideration. Experts from Emmons & Associates who specialize in flooring installations shared a few tips on what to consider when making a flooring choice for a bathroom.
First, lets start with what to avoid. In addition to the obvious omission of carpet as a choice due to its ability to absorb and hold moisture there are several hard surface materials to consider avoiding as well. Solid wood flooring, particularly of the parquet or tongue-and-groove variety, is not at all recommended for bathrooms, where water is prevalent.
Engineered wood performs better than laminate flooring because its base is of a sturdier, more water resistant plywood base. Its still not recommended for intense water but it will hold up if you desire it as a final choice.
An inexpensive choice is vinyl tile or sheet vinyl flooring. However, even though it is petroleum based it is a composite material. Vinyl tile squares have seams that water can penetrate. Sheet vinyl is generally seamless or has a minimum number of seams and therefore does a better long term job.
The most effective choice is tile. There are several tile options ranging from ceramic to highly expensive and rare natural stone materials. The most important factor to keep in mind is that natural stone, such as travertine, requires a stone sealer to help reduce the ability of water/moisture to penetrate. Porcelain tile doesnt allow penetration of moisture and porcelain is a material that many tile manufacturers are using to simulate the look and feel of natural stone materials. The cost of porcelain is generally less than natural stone as well.
When in a high water area, such as the shower or tub surround, tight grout lines are recommended. Grout, even if sealed, will eventually allow moisture to get through and begin subverting the mortars hold to the substrate, concrete board. There are stronger grouts with built in additives available on the market today to help alleviate this situation.
Tile manufacturers are also creating tile designs that have the look of wood flooring for those that want that appearance but dont want to risk moisture/water damage.
Finally, its important to do the research and make careful considerations before moving forward with a material order or choosing a contractor for installation.

Spring Remodeling Projects - New Bathroom Floors, What Type of Flooring is Best?
By World's Editorials Writers on May 14, 2013, at 2:26 AMUpdated on 5/14/13 at 9:02 AM
Voters in the Tulsa Public Schools district have a crucial decision to make at the election polls on Tuesday.
Does anyone else see the massive irony in Gov. Mary Fallin's latest attack on the Obama administration? She accused the president of not keeping his word and of "actively" seeking to toss 30,000 Oklahomans off a state-subsidized health-insurance program, when she has had it in her power for many months to singlehandedly provide health insurance for an estimated 180,000 residents by next year.
In the $7.1 billion state budget recently unveiled, lawmakers managed to carve out $7 million for remodeling some office space left vacant by the departure of the appellate courts, which are now housed in new quarters.
Lawmakers also set aside $120 million for repairing the Capitol, and were insistent that the $7 million needed right away for remodeling not be taken out of that allocation.
Problem is, doing the remodeling work now could mean that work will have to be torn out and done over when the major repair work is undertaken.
Finance Secretary Preston Doerflinger said he raised that issue several times during budget negotiations, to no avail. In fact, lawmakers seem to be in an unusual hurry to spruce up their own digs, as if they fear somebody or something might get in their way.
"I just question if that was the best use of their monies at this time versus trying to dovetail into the overall project," said Doerflinger.
Doerflinger has been a welcome voice of reason and common sense since he went to work for the state. He's exactly right on this subject. How many Oklahomans would consider office remodeling to the tune of $7 million to be a high priority?
What's more, lawmakers could have saved that $120 million set aside for Capitol repairs by going the logical and sensible route of a bond issue for that work, but oh no. Debt is now a dirty word in politics, even though managing debt is proof to bond rating companies of a state's fiscal abilities.

Capitol remodeling plan questioned
One of the best remodeling tools is available at no cost.
Just ask, said Curt Severson of Chippewa Valley Siding, Roofing Supply Co. of Chippewa Falls.
Ask as many questions as possible, Severson said. With the scope of a remodeling project, two-way communication is key.
Talking about the project helps. So does making the right decision.
Dennis Reiter of Reiter Construction of Eau Claire remembers working on a house in Chippewa Falls that had a spiral stairway. While the spiral stairway was functional, it didnt strike a chord with would-be buyers of the home.
We put a staircase in that (house) and it sold immediately, Reiter said.
He said as of this week he was in the middle of a couple of remodeling jobs. One is an addition to an existing home and the other is a bathroom remodeling.
Which means a barrier-free shower, he said.
Taking measurements
Reiter tackles remodeling work by taking measurements of the house, and drawing plans or even making mock-ups of his design.
