Announcing Renovation of MyHome's NYC Kitchen & Bathroom Showroom - Benzinga

Recently, March 31, The Edgefield County Hospital invited the press to view the beginnings of the new medical building going up on their campus and to speak with representatives of two companies in charge of the planning and construction Spratlin & Son Construction and McMillanPazdan Smith Architecture.

Greeting the press also were Hospital CEO Milanes and Travis Haltiwanger, ECH Facilities & Maintenance Director.

A bright, blue morning, following a rainy evening, had left scattered puddles of water over the wide expanse of poured concrete, the foundation of the new building that the Edgefield County Hospital speaks of as the Medical Office Building (MOB), at this time. The water on the foundation did not spell gloom, for it was covered with plastic which protected it somewhat. However, before covering the cement, the contractors noted that they had poured water over the concrete as a way to help harden it. The weather had cooperated well with the foundation, and pretty much all the way, so far. Those in charge said they are close to schedule, and maybe a little ahead in some categories.

Optimism held sway for those telling of the plans and projections: Steve Drane, Technical Director; Jon Duncan, Project Manager; and Eric Trumbull, intern, who had worked in the designing of the building all from the architecture firm. Owner of the Spratlin firm, Johnny Spratlin of Lincolnton, Ga., noted that there were many subcontractors, closer to the area, handling different segments of the structure.

The area to encompass the full building campus is over an acre, and it is estimated that the building itself will cover a third of that close to 17,000 square feet in all (quadrupling the areas the clinics had before). Half of the new space will be the offices for Peachtree Medical, the hospital-owned clinic service; the other half will be for what was originally Edgefield Medical Clinic, now known as Self Medical Clinic. Each of the medical groups has two MDs with a number of second tier professionals to serve the communities of this area. Each clinic will be the same area, one half the square footage, but will have separate entrances and lobbies.

The contractors let it be known that on Monday, April 3, the foundation would be ready for the steel poles to be placed in it for the beginning of the walls and upper part of the building. (The photo accompanying this article shows those steel poles already up, in spite of the severe winds and rains in the County this last week, as photographed April 10.)

In an interesting contrast in before and after of one clinic size, a visit to Peachtree gave evidence of a large practice housed in 2300 sq. feet. It was reported, unofficially, that in one month the practice had seen 900 patients, 400 as walk-ins. These numbers speak an immeasurable added comfort for both patient and doctor upon the completion and opening of the new building. And when will that be? It is hard to say, as the two firms noted. Weather can interfere as well as other problems. However, October seems to be a possibility at this point.

WEST HYANNISPORT This home on Halls Creek has spectacular views and Cape Cod charm.

This two-story home has a finished basement and comes with access to a private beach.

The living room is spacious, with wide windows that allow plenty of sunshine. Behind the living room is a sunroom, with views of both the water and the backyard.

The first floor includes a dining room and a modern kitchen that exits to a small side yard and the driveway.

There are two bedrooms downstairs, and a full bathroom.

Upstairs, there are two more bedrooms, a bathroom, and some of the best views from the house.

The basement is split into a large, finished portion and an adjacent storage area.

The proximity to the water is perhaps this propertys most coveted feature. In addition to being a stones throw away from the creek, you can see Squaw Island and the Hyannisport Club's golf course from this home. At low tide, you can walk across the creek to the island. And just a short walk down a pebbled side street is a private beach and picnic area, accessible only to members of the neighborhoods association.

Julie Alin is a design consultant for Altering Spaces and Visual Display, based out of Scheels Home & Hardware in Fargo. Her 22 years spent studying home decor trends have given her a keen eye regarding the market and the products flooding it.

Here are four trends Alin predicts will dominate the home decor market this spring.

Beach retreat

Think casual and relaxed. This trend is achieved through splashes of bright colors, preferably those of the tropical nature, like aqua, azure, kiwi and tangerine.

Alin says the goal is to create a feeling of a getaway retreat with a cool, calm vibe.

Consider incorporating this trend in bathrooms, where water is a natural element, or a sunroom, where natural elements can play a role. Alin says she's also seen this trend worked into teenagers' bedrooms or an office space to invite tranquility.

Neoclassic

For this trend, traditional meets modern in an urban glam setting.

Alin points out the use of rich and unexpected textures in creating this atmosphere as well as metallics and mercury glass necessary to imbue an interesting, light-catching accent.

This trend focuses on creating an artistic statement by allowing unexpected components to offer a high-end look in main living spaces as well as bedrooms. Nailheads in furniture (like upholstered headboards or sofas) are an important design element of this trend, but Alin warns against going overboard with this detail.

"Don't overdo it you need to leave something without nailheads," she says.

This trend can be amplified by using small pops of soft colors like blush pink, robin's egg blue or pale mint green.

Rustic chic

If you're a fan of organic yet eclectic, refined yet modern home decor, this trend is for you. Think mixing metallics like gold and copper as well as global pieces that spark conversation naturally.

This trend also embraces a lot of texture, similar to neoclassic style. It's also a trend that works well for pieces of furniture with live, unpredictable edges like dining room and end tables.

"Thanks to the 'rustic' component, this trend emphasizes warm and cool neutrals as well as rich, earthy tones like topaz and copper," Alin says.

Vintage flea market

This trend capitalizes on the en vogue market of reclaimed or repurposed items. Anything that looks a bit aged or weathered fits here.

In addition to the decor that looks like it has been collected over time, Alin says you should incorporate items like birds and romantic blooms like hydrangeas, lilacs, roses and daisies. Other greenery appropriate for this trend include terns, topiaries and herbs while burlap, linen, twine and rope also play a part.

"Think natural: flowers and greens you'd find in your garden and non-synthetic fabrics," Alin says.

Alin and her business partner Steve Johnson have also been seeing a move toward florals as a general trend.

"But these are bold, stylized florals that are fun and free-flowing," Johnson says.

The nice thing about all of these trends is that homeowners don't need to choose just one to incorporate into a space they each play off another nicely so two trends can be melded, Alin says.

Another comforting factor for homeowners is that no trend just ceases. In the 1950s, the life of a trend was about 15 years, Alin says. Now, it's more like 1.5 to 3 years, but the trend lingers for a while before it completely fades out.

"These days, trends don't just end with a chop; they continue with a 'dot dot dot,'" she says. "And if you really love a trend, find a way to add newness to it."

HARRISON On quiet Cape Monday Cove near the middle of 11-mile Long Lake, one of Maines finest and most desirable inland waters, here is a great home for all four seasons a house that has just been thoroughly renovated, and offers more than 2,800 square feet of living space on two levels.

A deep wraparound porch overlooks the one-acre, white-birch-dotted propertys splendid setting 167 grassy feet of sandy-bottom waterfront, with a pair of docks. A two-minute walk away in this neighborhood of very few homes is the association frontage (600 feet) and yet another dock. The boating options include Sebago Lake and Brandy Pond, and extend more than 50 miles. (Note that the annual association fee is a nominal $100.)

And the home? There is great family compound potential here. There are at present four bedrooms (but septic is for five); and in addition, a good-sized, vintage outbuilding that is prime for conversion into a guest cottage.

The updates/finishes are fine on both levels. The upper story, behind its year-round, water-facing sunroom, has a wonderful open-concept area with a fieldstone, wood-burning fireplace, and a sparkling kitchen with granite island and counters, custom cabinetry, and high-end GE stainless appliances including a five-burner gas range.

The floors are hickory, here and in the second and third bedrooms just behind (theres a full bath to serve them) and in the adjacent master suite, with its own new bath.

The one-bedroom downstairs also provides every living need, from a second laundry to a kitchen with exactly the same features as the main floors, except that the granite is of a different pattern.

The home at 36 Pine Point Road, Harrison, is listed for sale at $699,900 by Rachel Lorraine of Maines Real Estate Connection. Taxes are $5,212.

An Open House will be held from 1-4 pm. on Sunday, April 23. For more information or to arrange a viewing, please contact Rachel at 653-9645 or at [emailprotected]

The crew on the International Space Station (ISS) have successfully replaced a window pane on the Cupola module. The operation was conducted without any risk to the crew, thanks to the innovative design on the modules windows, which involves four panesallowing for internal replacement while risking no pressure loss for the Station.

Window Replacement:

After arriving at the ISS with Node 3, during Endeavours STS-130 mission, the European Space Agency (ESA) built Cupola has provided Station crews with a stunning view of the planet, often shared with the public via downlinked photography and thanks to the increasing use of social media by the astronauts.

The module also hosts a Robotic Work Station (RWS), allowing crewmembers to actually see Visiting Vehicles (VVs) such as SpaceXs Dragon and Japans HTV arrive for berthing, complimenting the camera views of their displays, allowing for increased situational awareness when operating the Stations robotic assets.

The Cupolas seven windows were exposed to space for the first time during STS-130s EVA-3, following the removal of the modules MLI blanket insulation by spacewalkers Bob Behnken and Nick Patrick.

After the spacewalkers removed the launch locks on the windows, the ISS crew cycled the window shields/shutters one at a time, providing them with the first view of the Earth from their new observation deck.

All of the windows werent open at the same time, with the task simply used to check the shutters opened without a problem. A few hours later, all of the windows were opened together, an event that is now commonplace on the ISS.

Although the windows on the Cupola have suffered from their fair share of impacts fromMicroMeteoroid and Orbital Debris (MMOD) strikes, none of the small impacts have caused any serious damage to the module.

The windows are made up offour panes an inner scratch pane to protect the pressure pane from accidental damage,two pressure panes 25mm thick to maintain cabin pressure, and finally an outer debris pane.

In the event of the damage being more serious, on-orbit replacement of an entire window is a design feature.

Such a replacement would require anEVAto fit an external pressure cover to allow for the changeout, with a pressure cover requiring a flight up to the ISS on one of the cargo resupply vehicles.

Several scratch panes are stored on the ISS in the event one requires replacement, which was request by the crew that resulted in the pane being replaced.

Cupola Window 7 Scratch Pane Replacement: The crew replaced the scratch pane on Cupola window 7, the nadir facing window, noted L2 ISS Status Information.

The crew has been requesting scratch pane replacements as many window scratch panes have shown accumulated damage of the years.

Window 7 is the large round window that astronauts tend to use when taking photography of the planet below.

The brand new scratch pane will likely improve if thats even possible the quality of the photographs from the orbital outpost.

Onboard, the crew is preparing for a busy period of Visiting Vehicle activity, with the OA-7 Cygnus set for launch on April 18 on an Atlas V from Cape Canaveral. The crew will be using the RWS in the Cupola for berthing operations with the cargo craft.

Two days later, the next Soyuz mission will launch on a fast track rendezvous to the Station. Soyuz MS-04 is set to launch NASA astronaut Jack Fischer and Fyodor Yurchikhin from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, which is one less passenger than usual.

The pick up the imbalance in the crew rotation quota, Peggy Whitson recently agreed to extend her tour on the Station by three months.

NEW LONDON, Conn. (WTNH) As the weather gets warmer windows start to open and thats where danger rises along with the temperatures. Just this week a Trumbull toddler fell out a second story window onto the pavement below.

Typically a fall greater than twice someones height will put them in a critical category for us, said Lt. Ryan Parker, an EMT and firefighter with the Old Mystic Fire Department.

Even parents who pay close attention to their kids can turn away for a second and find theyve fallen out a window.

A lot of people think the screens are enough protection, said Lt. Parker. Theyre not. They keep the bugs out but they dont stop a person from falling out.

Limit latches on replacement windows can help by stopping a window from opening up all the way but a very strong child might be able to force the window open.

As soon as its open and this contact breaks it sets off an alarm thats very loud, said Nick Wrobel with Cash True Value in East Lyme. He says window alarms can add another layer of safety.

Security locks and L brackets can also stop a window in its track. This would stop it from lifting because its mounted into the wood in the wall so its gonna be strong, explains Wrobel.

Window security guards are also a strong option. Wrobel says they allow you to mount expandable steel bars in the opening.

For child safety this is kind of the ultimate solution as far as still being able to use the window to let in air but not letting anything out, said Wrobel.

If you have furniture next to a window you should move it away so the kids dont have easy access to the windows. For those who have double hung windows they may want to open the top half to let the air in for ventilation and leave the bottom half closed.

Warmer weather brings open window concerns - WTNH Connecticut News (press release)

Onions: To Eveleth-Gilbert school board chair for her bias in letting people or other board members tack at meetings. It sure seems that she and the clerk have an agenda and no other board members are allowed to have another opinion. This is clearly shown at the Athletic Committee meeting where she scolded one member for getting off topic. Must be a board of two. Everyone else must not oppose.

Onions: Why in the world is there still a stop sign where Parkville Road meets 102 by the C.N. tracks? No traffic can come from the west because of a rock blockade and striped barricades. Take that stop sign down already!

Onions: To the Minnesota D.M.V. and their high license plate fees. To add insult to injury, when you buy a new vehicle you dont get a full year out of your new plates. I bought a new vehicle on March 31. When my new plates came Feb. was the expiration month. They charged me almost $400 for 11 months. They cheated me out of one full month. That is wrong.

Orchids: And Easter Lilies to Make it Mondays after school program at Messiah Lutheran Church. The Holy week booklets the students made are awesome. What a good opportunity for kids! (Submitted by a Grateful Grandma)

Orchids: To all of the staff at the Virginia Hospital especially the Doctors and Nurses in the ER. Thank you. (Submitted by Helen Pulkinen and Maria Kinler)

Orchids: To Sundell Eye Associates for their expert cataract removal and eyeglass fitting. (Submitted by Miriam Jones)

Orchids: Much thanks to the person who left an Easter Lily in my front porch with no name. May the Lord Bless you especially during this Easter Season. (Submitted by Joan Schaefbauer)

Onions: To the Gilbertans crying over the city councils decision against donating to the third of July celebration. Councilors are only as bright as the people who elected them. Residents slept while past and present councils irreverently squandered tax payers money, bankrupting the coffers. You cant get blood out of a turnip.

Orchids: To the IRRRB for finally replacing Troon with a hopefully better management company Bill Casper Golf. It was a much-needed change. I hope you continue to make changes and look hard at the staff you have running the facility. Onions for not drug testing all employees who run state owned equipment.

Orchids: Here is some information the Gilbert City Council can use. A friend told me, that because of Minntac. Mountain Iron receives about an extra $300,000 in grants every year for the IRRRB to spend on city improvements. Gilbert has an Arcelor-Mittal taconite mine to the northeast. Gilbert should also get a large amount of extra yearly grant money for the IRRRB. The Gilbert City Council should do some inquiring real soon to receive its share of extra taconite grant money.

Orchids: A colorful palette of Orchids to Marion DeLage for opening up Art Expressions art studio in Biwabik. She has created a beautiful place for everyone to come to and try their hand at creating personal treasures. Everyone is welcome and even if you dont think you have any artistic abilities, Marion will be there to help you create a memorable piece to share with friends and family. There are no judgements there, no malicious gossiping or back-biting. People are there to have fun. Her encouragement and instruction help everyone who comes in the door. She has classes for all ages, genders and walks of life. I have watched her interact with both adults and children to a degree that is heartwarming. Marion is offering an outlet for warmth and laughter for all ages. I truly believe she is providing therapy for the everyday person so bogged down with todays issues and personal struggles. Great job Marion!! We love you and what you are providing to the area.......Everyone, go to her Facebook site, Art Expressions and see what is being offered and come to the studio for laughter, fun, creation, relaxation and therapy!! (Submitted by a Grateful Client)

Onions: To Mayor Cuffe and the Virginia City Council; a 19 percent increase in property taxes, a proposed $20 a month surcharge on our utility bills for the relocation of utility lines because of the Highway 53 bridge, main street looks like an abandoned ship wreck, biggest concern of the city is the Miners Memorial Building renovation, all this while streets and infrastructure falls apart. What is going on folks? (Submitted by a Virginia Resident longing for the days of Mayor Carolyn Luoma Gentilini, When We Had a Real Leader!)

Orchids: To all the Eveleth Elks Members who volunteered their time to cook and serve Tuesday Burgers during the past year. If many volunteer a little time, the work doesnt fall on the shoulders of just a few. The kitchen committee appreciates all those who have given their time and worked in the kitchen. (Submitted by Eveleth Elks Kitchen Committee)

Orchids: A giant batch of red, white, and blue orchids to Tracy LaBarge of Tracys Sewing and Alterations for her patriotic assistance to the Mesabi Range Post of the VFW. Tracy has stitched edged of U.S. Flags to preserve their longevity. She has provided assistance in preparing Color Guard Uniforms for V.F.W. members. The members of VFW Post 1172 salute her for her spirit of Americanism. (Submitted by Members of VFW Post 1172)

Orchids: A sincere thank you to E and T Landscaping and Plowing Inc. for keeping our parking lot plowed all winter. It was a long winter with a great deal of snow and knowing we would be taken care of was a great relief. We knew how busy they were but every time it snowed someone was here to help us out! Your thoughtfulness is so greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support. From the entire staff at the Mesabi Humane Society.

Orchids: Thank you to Brian Pazzelli of North Country Heating and Cooling for donating the installation of new duct work in our dog kennel area. Also, thank you to Rick and Dave for working so hard and getting the job done rather quickly. This is the second time that we were fortunate enough to receive help from this great group of guys! Your generosity is sincerely appreciated. (Submitted by all of us at the Mesabi Humane Society, Especially the Dogs!)

Orchids: Bags and bags full of orchids to Miners, Inc., and their Super One stores in Biwabik and Virginia for collecting plastic bags and then shipping them to a center where they are recycled and processed. Not just collected and thrown into the local landfill.

Orchids: What a wonderful show!! The Country show at Mountain Iron School on the 2nd Saturday of every month for $7. 2 1/2 hours of great local entertainment. The Band (40 Below) and Bittersweet were great. Mark your calenders for this entertainment every month. To visit with friends and neighbors and listen to great music. The Saturday night live gives monies to our local music departments at the schools. (Submitted by Donna Perrault).

Preparing for Kitchen Renovation

Find the perfect team

In order to turn your little ordinary kitchen into a masterpiece of interior design, you need the services of an experienced home renovation expert. If you have done it before, you understand that kitchen remodeling is more involving than simply thinking of a design and giving it out for implementation. It requires more and that is why the service of a contractor or design expert is necessary. It becomes particularly important when the process will involve electrical work and plumbing.

To be certain of great kitchen remodeling Virginia services, you need someone you can trust. You need an expert you can confide in to make the most out of your kitchen space.

Plan your budget

How much are you willing to spend on this project? The amount of money you set aside for renovation will significantly determine how much you will be able to accomplish. To ease the budgeting process, one needs to decide whether he is out for a small, medium-range or major kitchen redesign. This can be $15,000, $30,000, and $50,000 respectively depending on the scaling range.

Most importantly, you need to ensure the budget is flexible. EA Home Design experts recommend that about 20% of the total renovation cost should be set aside for surprises. Maybe you underestimated labor costs or prices of some materials. Setting aside an extra budget cushions you against unnecessary stress, just in case things do not work out according to plans. If everything falls in place, you will have some bonus cash to spend on what you love most or donate to your favorite charity!

Seek early consultations

Get ready to dive in

If you need customization of the cabinets or any other component of the kitchen, you can give an elaborate or have a clear sketch. Your home can only be as great as you want it to be.

Kitchen Renovation Inspirations

What is the driving force behind your plan to revamp the look of your kitchen? Are you simply doing it to improve the value of your home? Do you want to commemorate something special through it? Is it a special gift to the mother of your kids or mom? The main reason behind the renovation will give you a clear guide on how to proceed.
