The Plaza building, the adobe building on the corner of Tenth Street and White Sands Boulevard, has taken many forms over the years: a tattoo parlor, a flower shop and a bar.

A contractor will began to transform the 76-year-old building Friday yet again, this time into a form that suits its historical importance the Tularosa Basin Museum of History.

The Tularosa Basin Historical Society finished a bidding process last month in which the Otero County Commission selected Las Cruces-based C D General Contractors to renovate the building into the society's new home.

Society Vice President Joe Lewandowski said the renovations will cost $405,000 and will be funded with $525,000 awarded to the historical society by the state legislature about three years ago.

Lewandowski said workers will install a new roof and heating and cooling system, renovate the interiors and bathrooms and redo the parking lot, among other changes.

He said the renovations will also seek to preserve the Plaza Pub, including the building's old doors. Lewandowski said the Plaza Pub was once the center of activity in Alamogordo and is one of the only adobe buildings in town.

"What makes it unique is that it's an adobe building, and Alamogordo's not known for adobe buildings," he said.

The society's plans for the Plaza facility meet state guidelines for renovating buildings on the New Mexico historical register, Lewandowski said. The Plaza building was placed on the State Registry of Cultural Properties in June 2012.

CabinetDIY's kitchen designers have one goal: To design trendy kitchens that are worthy enough to be the center of a dinner party conversation. As a leading RTA Cabinets wholesaler, CabinetDIY reveals the latest trends in kitchen and bathroom design and remodeling with the help of their experienced designers. See what's hot and what trends to look out for this season.

White kitchen cabinets have been very popular in the past several seasons. They are flying off the shelves like hotcakes, and being used in many kitchen and bath design projects. However, Grey kitchen cabinets are starting to become one of the trendiest must haves this season. It is sophisticated, neutral and embraces a great deal of different color tones. Try mixing grey cabinets with a white kitchen island. It can also bring out the crispness of the white cabinets. Mixing and matching different shades of grey kitchen cabinets can also be an intriguing choice. Imagine this: Light grey surroundings with a dark grey kitchen island, finished with dark grey crown molding on the top of light grey wall cabinets. Can't go wrong with choosing any shade of gray this season, as gray is the new white when it comes to the latest in kitchen cabinet trend.

Bulky sinks are also in. Whether it is a farm sink, apron sink, or industrial sized extra large sink. These sinks are on every housewife's favorites list. Here's a tip: Use a full depth wall cabinet as the sink base for the apron sink and add a wall filler to adjust with the depth of the apron sink. Then place a toe kick under the wall cabinet to match the rest of the base cabinets. This easy technique makes an apron sink base out of RTA (Ready to Assemble) kitchen cabinets. No need to pay big money for a custom apron sink base when you can build one out of RTA cabinets without breaking the bank.

Modern European style cabinets is also coming strong this season. Its frame-less design with clean lines and sharp popping color, mixed with a metallic and glossy finish all scream modern kitchen design. When choosing this style of cabinet, make sure to select modern RTA kitchen cabinets with a plywood body box to ensure the durability of the kitchen cabinets and ever lasting modern style.

CabinetDIY Reveals The Latest Trends In Kitchen Cabinet Design By Using Affordable Ready To Assemble Cabinets

The new kitchen features a custom-built stainless-steel black hood above the large, white peninsula.

As the new year gets under way, many San Diegans are inspired to refresh their homes and finally begin planning that long-overdue remodeling project. Kitchens are at the top of the list for many homeowners with open, inviting spaces that suit entertaining, one of the big, continuing trends for 2015.

With a historical home thats more than 90 years old, our clients were more than ready for a kitchen remodel. They desperately needed a more practical kitchen with improved functionality and plenty of space for family gatherings.

Our design team created a plan to significantly transform the kitchen, while still maintaining the character of the home. We began the transformation by removing two walls to create an expansive space encompassing the kitchen and dining areas. To retain the historical feel of the home, the existing oak wood floor in the dining area was duplicated and continued into the kitchen for visual continuity.

White cabinetry throughout the new kitchen provides a plethora of organized storage options and conceals all the major appliances for a clean, uncluttered appearance. A panel inset on the peninsula unifies it with the homes existing wainscoting, making the peninsula seem as if it has always been in the home.

New windows looking out on the historic neighborhood considerably brightened the sink area, framed by the bold accent of a black-and-white-patterned backsplash and meticulous crown molding emphasizing the homes history.

The sink area has a black-and-white-patterned backsplash and crown molding.

We wanted the new space to have a central focal point, so we chose a stunning custom-built stainless-steel black hood to place above the large, white peninsula. A niche above the peninsula provides functional storage of cooking essentials and a decorative note of visual interest. The black-and-white theme is repeated throughout the room, particularly in the concrete backsplash.

The dining room comfortably seats several guests, who can easily interact with other guests and their hosts in the kitchen. The design fuses classic, vintage-inspired elements with the modernity of the black-and-white color theme and clean lines.

The overall U.S. housing market still is struggling to hit its stride, but the remodeling market meanwhile has fully regained its mojo, according to a report released Thursday by the Harvard University Joint Center for Housing Studies.

Kermit Baker, director of the centers remodeling futures program, forecasts that spending in the U.S. remodeling market will grow by 4% to 5% this year to at least $330 billion, spanning work on both owned homes and rentals. Thats a slower growth rate than in previous years of the recovery, but it would be enough to make 2015 the richest year for remodeling spending of the past 15, surpassing the previous high point of $324 billion in 2007.

The market is largely recovered, Mr. Baker said. It will resume growth at its historical level, which has been (an average of ) just about 5% year over year for the past 30 years. The main reason: A similar easing of home-price appreciation. The median resale price of existing homes last month of $209,500 marked a 6% increase from a year earlier. In comparison, the increase in 2013 was nearly 10%. Homeowners are less likely to push ahead with an ambitious, pricey renovation if their home equity isnt growing as rapidly anymore.

Another factor sapping a bit of momentum from the robust remodeling market is that homeowners dont have as much motivation now as they did in previous years to install energy-efficient windows, doors and other features in their house, Mr. Baker said. Part of that is because federal tax credits for such improvements have waned. An additional influence is that energy costs, particularly for gas for heating homes, have declined markedly in recent months.

Still other factors will have the opposite effect, keeping remodeling spending from reversing course. Mr. Baker notes that more Baby Boomers are remodeling as they opt to stay in their long-time homes and equip them with handrails, elevators, first-floor bedrooms and other aging-in-place features.

Meanwhile, the remodeling market has listed in recent years toward bigger-ticket, discretionary jobs, including kitchen and bathroom upgrades. The share of overall remodeling spending attributable to such discretionary projects accounted for 30% of remodeling spending on owned homes in 2013, up by roughly a percentage point from 2011, Mr. Baker said. He anticipates that share will continue to grow this year, though he hasnt forecast a specific percentage.

The increase in discretionary remodeling is mostly due to home price appreciation since 2012, Mr. Baker said.

Spending on home improvements and housing prices almost perfectly relate; About 1% of the value of a home is used on home improvement, he said. Prices have come back up, so we think spending came up with that.

Mr. Baker compiled his figures on remodeling spending based on data from the Commerce Department, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Harvard research.

Anthony Carrino, a partner in Jersey City, N.J., contractor Brunelleschi Construction and a host of remodeling shows on Scripps Networks Interactives HGTV network, says he has seen customers spending more ambitiously in the past year.

Remodeling Market Has Regained Its Mojo, New Report Says

Figuring out the citys cost has been among challenges

January 29, 2015 | 12:01 am

CEDAR RAPIDS Just one-half inch separates the foundation wall of trucking company CRST International Inc.s new 11-story office tower, CRST Center, going up downtown and the citys 12-foot-tall concrete flood wall that will stand directly in front of it.

However, David Hayek, senior project manager for contractor Ryan Companies US Inc., said the buildings columns under the ground tie in to the concrete footing of the city flood wall to provide additional support for the office tower via building pilings under the flood wall footing.

Hence, a complication: Who pays for what?

The total project is about a $40 million one, and in August the City Council agreed to pay up to $3.95 million for its part. The citys flood control piece of the project consists of three parts;

l A 20-foot-deep shell for a pumping station

l A gate that closes over a storm sewer outlet in the flood wall during floods

l The 12-foot-tall, 30-inch-wide concrete flood wall.

The wall will run along the river the length of the 200 block of First Street SE directly in front of the 11-story CRST Center, the first three floors of which are a parking garage that extends the entire block.
