Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

The double oven, copper sink and cook top with pot filler are a few of the new features in this remodeled kitchen.

Trina Knudsen, Renovation Design Group

We've recently worked with a family who knew that someday they would like to remodel their home; they just werent sure when. When the wife wanted to install a pellet ice machine in the kitchen, it sparked the major remodel to the main and upper floors of the house.

That simple pellet ice machine would require a drain in the floor. They figured that if they were going to have to rip up the floor, they might as well get new hardwood floors. If they did the floors, they might as well replace the whole kitchen and if they were going to remodel the kitchen, they might as well address the rest of the dream while they were at it. A major remodel was in the future plans anyway. They just hadnt pulled the trigger yet.

They laugh now about how "the stupid pellet ice machine started the whole remodel.

They started planning and implementing the years of ideas they wanted for their home. They originally built their house in 1998 and at the time didn't go for a lot of extras.

The wife wanted coffered ceilings, a beautiful staircase and a great kitchen.

When they decided to start the process, the family hired an interior designer, who helped put together a team including an architect and contractor, which is how we met them. They decided to hire professional help in order to get it built correctly on the first try. The wife said she has a good sense of style but doesnt have access to all the resources the professionals do.

The whole design process started in June. Construction started in November, and the final project was finished the following June. While it seemed like a long process, they were pleased with the results.

The goal was a timeless design that is in fashion now and will also stay current for a long time.

Four men have been charged with stealing a former district attorneys safe from his law office at the Bank Towers building, clearing a case that went cold for nearly a year, Scranton police said Thursday.

Justin Tyme Andrews, 33; Joseph R. Reed, 33; Aaron Robert Kern, 20; and Jaime Walton, 39, were all charged with burglary and theft-related counts on allegations they stole a safe containing $5,000 and important documents from attorney Paul Mazzoni in December 2013.

Francis Caputo, the maintenance director of the office building in the 300 block of Spruce Street, noticed several damaged second-floor doors on Dec. 2, 2013. Mr. Mazzonis law office had been entered and a large safe taken, detectives said.

Detectives found surveillance footage that showed people loading a safe onto a silver Dodge pickup at the buildings Oakford Court exit. Detectives tried to identify the suspects, but the case went cold on March 18, 2014.

Then, on Feb. 13, Officer Steve Derenick of the Taylor Police Department called with a tip. Officer Derenick had investigated a burglary at a construction company in the borough and had a suspect, Mr. Reed, who knew that a safe had been stolen in the Bank Towers heist something that only the thief would have known, detectives said.

Mr. Reed also said Mr. Andrews, who was listed as homeless, and Mr. Kern, of 228 Oak St., Old Forge, were the ringleaders. The two managed to get a key to the building from Mr. Walton, who worked for the buildings cleaning service, Mr. Reed told detectives.

They had the safe on my tailgate and had trouble pushing it on, so I got out and helped them push the safe on, and that was it, Mr. Reed, 705 W. Taylor St., Taylor, said to detectives..

Mr. Reed told detectives he drove the other three to Mr. Waltons house at 19 Rockledge Terrace in Taylor, where they opened the safe.

(Mr. Walton) opened the safe by knocking four pins out of the bottom of it, and it just opened right up, Mr. Reed said, according to detectives.

They took the money and hid certain documents under Mr. Waltons trailer, detectives said.

Developers planning to construct a $2.5 million retail and office building at the long-dormant lot at the northwest corner of Division Street and Third Avenue hope to break ground in July and complete the project by year-end.

The project, now tentatively named Peppertree Plaza, will include a two-story structure with 9,500 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, and 5,500 square feet of office space on the second floor, says Rita Santillanes, who with her husband John, owns the property.

Baker Construction & Development Inc., of Spokane, is the contractor on the project.

This is going to be an expedited development, says Brooke Baker, of Baker Construction. We will have it ready to go by the end of the year.

Baker Construction and Mercier Architecture & Planning, of Post Falls, have teamed up to design the project, Baker says.

The Santillaneses own four hotels through Liberty Lake-based Peppertrees of Washington LLC. They plan to consolidate administrative offices for the hotels into a headquarters that would take up 3,000 square feet of space on the second floor of the Peppertree Plaza, leaving 2,500 square feet of space for a second office tenant, Baker says.

The first floor would include up to six retail bays.

Santillanes says the current design is preliminary and could be modified to accommodate a couple of potential tenants that have been looking at the project.

Brooke Baker, a business-development specialist with Baker Construction, says several quick-service restaurants are looking at the development plans, although none have committed to leases yet.

We have lots of interest, but no letters of intent, she says.

Work on the construction of the Manapparai panchayat union office has been in full swing and will be completed by the end of this month, three months ahead of schedule.

The new building has been built as the old building had become inadequate. The availability of sprawling space near the old building enabled construction of a new building at an estimate of Rs. 2 crore under the Scheme Component of Pooled Assigned Revenue of the Rural Development Department.

The new building, with a plinth area of 726 square metres, houses separate chambers for the chairman and block development officers, besides the council hall. A separate unit for conducting training programmes under the rural development programme would be a new facility, according to official sources.

A new toilet block and vehicle shed are other new facilities.

District Collector K.S. Palanisamy recently visited Manapparai and inspected the progress of the work.
