Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

A Brightwaters veteran and his family have just receiveda partial home makeover through a behind-the-scenes organization calledMake It Count.

The [members of Make It Count] have every reason to spend their time living lavishinstead they spend their downtime doing what they did for us and giving away their moneyand time to see veterans live out the American Dream we risked our lives for overseas, said recipient of the makeover, LorenzoBono, a U.S. Marine who served from 2012-16.

The mission of theorganization is to provide housing, education, and healthcare to those who have served in the military, says Mark Sagliocca of Make it Count.

The organization is run by six board members in total, all of whom have different backgrounds.

My expertise is as a land developer and general contractor, said Sagliocca. While our founder, Jon Reese, is more of aWall Street financeguy.

Together the grouppools its skills and backgrounds together to give back to those who fought.

The remodeling work at 450 Peters Boulevard all started with a plate of dinner at Primi Italian Steakhouse in West Islip.

Sagliocca was eating dinner with fellow Make It Count members when he overheard the owner of Primis, Frank Bono, talking about his veteran twin brother and his brothers new home.

Thatbrother wasLorenzo.

Right when I heard he was from Brightwaters my eyes lit up because the Lions Club wanted to donate to someone in the Bay Shore area, said Sagliocca.

Thats when Make It Count sent over an e-mail to Lorenzo that had him scratching his eyes in disbelief.

When I got thee-mail from Mark talking about renovations, I just couldnt believe it, Lorenzo explained. I yelled out [to his wife], Babe, come here! Am I reading this right?'

Sagliocca explained his organizations work is made possibleby donations from places like the Lions Club, as well as individual donors.

125% of our donations go towards renovations, said Sagliocca. The reason we can do that is because we have virtually no overhead.

According to Make It Count,most of the workers, from demolitionist to plumbers, who work inthe house donate their time and expertise.

Sagliocca and his team completely flipped the Bono familys bathroomand kitchen on the main floor, installing all new appliances, cabinetry, flooring, and much more.

They bought this beautiful home and it just needed a shot in the arm, said Sagliocca.

Lorenzo told GreaterBayShore there were times when he caught himself welling up withtears as the renovations took place.

It felt like itwasnt even real, said Lorenzos wife, Samantha.

To see my wife in the kitchen like this withmy [two] kids it made me as a man, father, and asa husband feelbeyond amazing, said Lorenzo.

They never asked for help, but Make it Count soughtthem out.

We pushed ourselves on Lorenzo and Samantha because its our duty as citizens to give back, said Sagliocca.

Preserving and marking the sites of ancient Native American burial mounds, which are prevalent in the Midwest where ancient tribes such as the Adena lived until 1 A.D, is crucial for acknowledging the depth of the scars colonialism has left on our society. However, a simple marker or plaque beside a mound can only do so much a deeper understanding of different indigenous cultures is needed if we are to truly empathize with and respect people who lived here before Europeans laid their first camps.

Imagine this situation: an Adena mound is located on the construction site of an office complex. The contractor has bought all the supplies, has promised their employees work and has promised their client an office building. Construction commences, and in the process of digging out the basement someone finds a skull. Federal law requires the contractor to call law enforcement and establish a crime scene. Then a coroner works with ethnoforensics specialists to excavate, halting the project for, say, a year.

By the time they finish, the contractor has to pay his builders for the work they were shorted and is eager to speed along the building process so the client doesn't hire somebody else for their next job. Ethnoforensics say some remains some tools, an arm or a leg might still be there, but they extracted what they could to comply with the law in a timely manner.

The land on which the mound once sat is then partially covered with an office building, and the other portion has been flattened to create a clean-cut lawn. The remains found in the mound are safe inside a local historical society, guarded by the meticulous hands of conservation specialists in a temperature-controlled room, but the land from whence it came bears no mark of the objects ever being there. And nothing marks the site that was once a sacred tomb.

Something kind of similar (kind of) happened in 2012 with Richard III of England, whose remains were found under a church parking lot. I don't think construction workers knew what they were building on when they were laying pavement, but the fiasco became a media sensation, and now there are memes about it.

It's funny when the thing being defiled is perceived by the dominant culture as larger than life has the privilege of, well, royalty.

It's not so funny when the people whose legacy is being defiled are the ancestors of a demographic that has been, and continues to be, consistently undervalued and mistreated by dominant American culture. So, what should we do about it?

One option is a plaque. A memorial. More extensive museums. But, surprise, it's not that simple.

What even is a mound? I don't know the answer, and I've visited museums and read chapters and book articles about them. I know they contain bones and "token objects," according to one of the four plaques at Shrum Mound, but I don't know what any of this meant for the Adena people. How long after someone died were they buried? Who in the tribe helped to build the mound? What kinds of rituals, if any, were held around the mounds? Why were certain tools items of use buried along with the deceased people? Some of this information may be unavailable, just because that's the nature of studying ancient societies. Then again, maybe we just destroyed all the evidence.

When I visited Shrum Mound, I could obviously see it, but I couldn't feel the depth of its meaning in my own bones the way I could in St. Paul's Cathedral. I needed a better translation of Adena culture than what the plaque could give me. Because of this, my visit to Shrum Mound in some ways felt trivial. I saw a giant bulge in the earth, but I didn't know quite what to make of it. It's impossible to connect with these ancient communities when there are no markers, but even when there are markers, I can't glean as much as I need from them to feel any such connection.

What I know I share with the Adena people is the land. Without conflating indigenous people and "nature," which can be a dehumanizing and dangerous thing to do, I've been trying to learn more about the landscape I've dwelled upon all my life, as I know it offered powerful resources to ancient communities who hunted, gathered and farmed on it. My new field guide about wildflowers in Ohio will give me a Westernized, classification-focused education. Though I can't say for sure, it's likely a much different understanding of local flora than what the Adena had. Still, it's a start.

Flipping through its sturdy pages, I take note of which are native and which were introduced from abroad (mostly Europe), as those are the plants the Adena most likely used. I learned the Oswego people used the red-flowered plant Monarda didyma, a type of mint, for tea (the plant is now colloquially called Oswego Tea). Though I'm not familiar with its red flowers, I see the light purple blooms of its relative, Monarda fistulosa, everywhere around here. That plant, colloquially named Wild Bergamot, has been cultivated for European commercial teas. I haven't yet made the tea, but I hope to try it soon and taste what the Adena might have.

Uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday, and subsequently picked up by BusinessInsider, the Planet Labs footage offers a unique perspective of the massive Apple Park project.

The video provides snapshot views from space that date back to September 2015, about six months after construction began. As seen in the 18-second clip below, half of the main office building at Apple Park, then dubbed "Campus 2," was already built up to roof level.

Planet Labs' footage covers the entire construction area, including twin research and development buildings that were just starting to take shape at the end of 2015. Also seen near the bottom of the screen is the round above-ground entryway into the 1,000-seat Steve Jobs Theater.

Toward the upper-right of the video is Apple's wellness facility, which boasts a two-story yoga room clad in stone that has been distressed to resemble the exterior of late company cofounder Jobs' favorite hotel in Yosemite.

Apple's attention to detail is readily apparent in the Planet Labs time-lapse. The company made great efforts to reproduce the Bay Area of Jobs' childhood with carefully selected indigenous trees, winding walking paths and rolling manmade hills.

Built on the grounds of a former HP facility, the $5 billion Apple Park will ultimately house more than 12,000 workers. Employees are already migrating into certain areas of Apple Park, including the R&D facility, in a process that is expected to take six months to complete.

Recent drone footage of the complex released earlier this month showed progress on the main building's cafeteria. A good amount of landscaping remains and contractors are currently working to complete the small lake that will sit inside the main ring.

Dating to 1887, TwelveTrees is a perfect blend of rich heritage, modern conveniences, lush gardens and outdoor spaces. A major restoration and expansion from 2004-2008, by the present owners, preserved the grandeur of the homes patrician origins while adding the finest features of todays lifestyle.

Poised on 2.5 acres, stone pillars mark the entry to the private road and larger acreage originally associated with TwelveTrees. Elegant columned verandas at each end of the homes long horizontal span point to its initial intention as a summer residence.

The Tennessee Sandstone terrace with outdoor kitchen, deep tree-shaded lawns and pool and spa area framed with an array of plantings, maintain the estates aura of leisure and ease. Indoors the foyer continues straight to the sunroom, its wall of glass allowing for further enjoyment of the serene private grounds.

Preserving the homes architectural heritage has been paramount. The roof is cedar shingle. In the living room, once the ballroom, the eye is drawn to artfully detailed plaster crown molding its intricate design replicated in the mantel of the fireplace.

In the library, a handpainted mural depicts scenes from the works of Charles Dickens painted by an earlier resident. Original plaster walls, carved panel doors, center cut oak floors, leaded-glass panes, crafted baseboards and high ceilings maintain the homes legend. Carefully chosen dcor including Osborne and Little Drapery, Brunschwig and Fils wallpapers, and plantation shutters complement the period style.

Though located in Mendhams historic district, the home is not listed on the Historical Register, allowing for unencumbered renovations. Rebuilds include the spacious country kitchen sporting custom beadboard cabinetry, Pietra Verde limestone countertops, large island with maple counter and commercial-grade appliances. Radiant heat warms the center cut oak floor here as well as in the family room (an addition) with distinguished arched entry, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and French doors opening to the patio.

Upstairs the voluminous master suite has French doors opening to a cedar deck. The bath is elegantly updatedas are all in the home, and the dressing room is a custom-fitted organizational delight. There is a guest suite with sitting room and an in-law suite with kitchen/living/dining room. Two additional bedrooms are each en suite with bath.

Though seemingly tucked away in place and time. TwelveTrees is moments from Mendhams historic, vibrant town center and daily conveniences.

Restored, expanded and enhanced in Mendham - New Jersey Hills

Homes at the Bidwell Village 55+ community in Coventry offer easy one-floor living and a sense of space enhanced by open floor plans and nine-foot ceilings. There are many upscale features such as crown molding and hardwood floors in the living areas, and granite counters and stainless steel appliances in the kitchens.

The deciding factor for many residents, however, is the sense of community at Bidwell Village, including the warm welcome residents extend to newcomers.

I dont think I would have been as involved with people if I had still been in my old home," says Ginni Tewksbury, the community associations president. "You walk outside here and people see you and they come out to talk to you.

When completed, Bidwell Village will have 37 homes. Twenty-one have either been built and sold, or have a sale pending. Seven houses were sold within the last year.

Most of these will be free-standing ranch homes, all with two-car garages, says Tom Boyle, the broker handling sales. Many of the lots allow a walk-out basement. Of the seven recent sales, almost half chose to finish either all or part of their basements, most often to accommodate hobbies, crafts or an additional living area for guests.

The model home has a walk-out finished basement. Access is gained by using an open, wide and welcoming stairway. Enhancing the lower levels appeal is the ample natural light from large windows and the door that leads outside. Boyle notes that this area could easily accommodate a third bedroom and a third full bath with plenty of room left over for a family room, storage and a craft area or workshop.

The main floor offers easy access throughout with the option to specify a no-step garage and front door entry. Doorways are wide to accommodate handicapped accessibility.

While the floor plans are open, they still afford privacy. The kitchens, for example, are open to the living areas but are shielded from view at the front entryways.

A sunroom is a popular option, made even more appealing by the thoughtful layout of the community that takes maximum advantage of southern exposures. Unlike at other communities, opting for the sunroom at Bidwell Village means that buyers end up with a fully livable addition built over a full basement and integrated into the floor plan.

The master suites in the three available models are inviting and spacious. Features include a full bath with a dual sink and a cultured marble vanity, an easily accessed, oversized step-in shower with grab bars, and a walk-in closet.

Each house includes a second bedroom, which could be used as a den or a study, and a second full bath with a soaking tub. Bathrooms and the first-floor laundry room have tile floors while the bedrooms feature high-quality carpet.

The communitys Coventry location is a draw for buyers. Bidwell Village is just 2.5 miles from UConn. Its two minutes from Coventry Lake where you can boat, fish, swim and kayak, and where a parking pass for residents is just $10 a year. The towns senior center is also nearby.

There are walking trails, including one that is being expanded at Bidwell Village. When the community is completed, this trail will encompass the housing area and border a conservation easement that abuts the property. A centrally located gazebo has been completed recently.

Tewksbury rates the freedom from yard work, which the association handles, as another advantage of living in this 55+ community. I like the fact that I dont have to work outside if I dont want to, she says. This also makes it easier for people who like to travel. Residents need only lock the door and leave, says Boyle.

He adds that Bidwell Village is a true condominium;, all exterior maintenance of the homes is handled by the association. "If a storm rolls by and damages some roofing or siding, the association steps in to handle the matter very unlike many planned development communities where this responsibility is that of the homeowner.

Spring Hill Properties is the builder, which is another advantage for buyers, according to Boyle. Spring Hill builds high-end custom homes and buyers here enjoy that level of workmanship. The buyers are very satisfied and they also have the option to customize their home plan. Buyers can move windows, adjust walls, expand garages and finish basements, among other options. There is no take it or leave it here, Boyle says. Further easing the transition to Bidwell Village, potential buyers needing to sell a current home can secure a site for 60 days with no obligation.

The builder, who finishes these homes to Energy Star standards, follows up with new owners after they have been in their homes for a month to make sure there are no problems. He then follows up again after three months and on the first anniversary.

Even with all this, it is still the sense of community that Tewksbury values most. "Bidwell Village is a great place to live," she says.

The model home at Bidwell Village in Coventry is open Wednesday through Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. or by appointment. For more information contact Tom and Janet Boyle of Bidwell Village at 860-649-4800.

UPPER SANDUSKY A Columbus company will refurbish two wooden covered bridges in Wyandot County for more than $1.2 million, with a majority of the funds provided by federal grants, according to The Progressor-Times newspaper in Carey. The Parker Covered Bridge, built in 1873, is a Howe truss design which spans 172 feet over the Sandusky River. It is located on Crane Township Highway 40, northeast of Upper Sandusky. Fire destroyed the original Parker Covered Bridge in May 1991. It was rebuilt and dedicated in October 1992. A committee, which was formed after the fire to raise money to restore the bridge, raised $150,000. The Swartz Covered Bridge, built in 1879, is a Howe truss design which spans 96 feet over the Sandusky River. It is located on Wyandot County Highway 130 in Antrim Township. The Swartz Covered Bridge was restored in the early 1990s. Righter Co., Columbus, with experience in restoration of wooden covered bridges, bid $607,988 for the Parker bridge restoration and $597,672 for the Swartz bridge restoration. The county will pay $60,283 as its share of the work on both bridges. A majority of the funds will be provided by the Federal Transportation Alternative Program. The rehabilitation of each bridge will include work on the wood trusses, replacement of damaged pieces, installation of new siding, new roofs and new floors. The Swartz bridge will have a new foundation, too. Each will be made more secure, too. Each bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in the 1970s.
