THE DEMOLITION of a derelict park keepers house in a Victorian park will start in the New Year marking the beginning of a 3m restoration project.

Workers will move in and begin pulling down the house at Durham Citys Wharton Park on Monday January 5, with work expected to take two weeks. The area will be cordoned off and the rest of the park will stay open.

The historic park will close in spring for 12 months for extensive work, including a new heritage centre and caf, new play and fitness areas and restoration of the amphitheatre, battlements and miniature car track.

Cllr David Stoker, who has been closely involved in the project, said: We are all absolutely delighted to be in the position where we are breaking ground.

Wharton Park is the jewel in the crown of parks in the county, which was becoming tired and not far off having to be closed down.

Thanks to the council funding and the money from heritage lottery we are going to be able to transform it in a relatively short time.

He added: We are grateful for the significant investment the Heritage Lottery Fund have put in of 2.45m.

I think thats a reflection ambitious and innovative designs that have come forward.

There is a timeliness about all of this, because there are so many areas that are protected in there, including the battlements overlooking the station.

It is perfectly clear the damage was greater that we imagined, so we could have been looking at paying major costs for renovations. We got there just in time.

There is nothing better than enjoying the gentle breeze of a ceiling fan during those hot summer nights. Millions of homes around the world have at least one ceiling fan to help cool the home, add lighting, and even dcor. Years ago, ceiling fan designs were plain and boring but over the past several years, new exciting designs have been made and technology has advanced where you can now operate your fan with a remote control.

If you are thinking about installing a ceiling fan in your home, you will find a huge selection from which to choose. No matter what your dcor, there is a multitude of designs available. Best of all, if you are handy around the house, you can install the fan on your own with little or not help.

This is especially true when buying a Casablanca fan, which is designed for the person who loves doing things around the house. These fans have been designed with magnificent designs yet simplistic operation so anyone can install one. In fact, Casablanca has come up with a registered system called Truhanging. With this system, the fan is supported from the ceiling so you have both hands to take care of the wire connections. The ball is self-centering, which makes the fan hang straight. This is especially beneficial if your ceiling is not level or designed with a slope.

Another benefit of choosing a Casablanca ceiling fan is the PermaLock downrod lock. This feature locks the fan in place so it is stable. Additionally, this particular downrod is not only the strongest but also the easiest to install. If you have extra high ceilings, you will also find that Casablanca offers extra long down rods.

When you buy a Casablanca ceiling fan, you will not have to worry about buying all types of separate hardware since everythig you need comes with the fan. In fact, you will even receive the light bulbs, batteries for the remote control, and a screwdriver for getting the installation done.

Example Layout: (more examples below)

1. Draw a plan to scale of your ceiling or wall, showing the layout of the panels, moldings, fillers and cornices you wish to use.

2. (Optional but highly recommended) Cover your ceiling or wall with wood, or wood strips (most commonly used is mahogany or plywood), making sure the work area is level, flat and smooth. (1/4" Minimum thickness is recommended)

3. Transfer your layout plan showing the placement to the ceiling or wall by applying a grid with a chalk line. (be sure to measure the pieces for exact measurements and to allow for overlap prior to applying the layout to ceiling)

4. Begin in the centre of the room and work your way out and around the surface, ensuring that you follow the lapping instructions detailed in step 5. *Please note: Two sides of the panel can not be secured until the next piece has been placed underneath*

5. First install the panels, next fillers, then moldings and lastly cornices, making sure these items lap away from the main entrance, or main viewing area. For Antique Plated finishes please be sure when installing the center panels that the rubbed grain all runs in the same direction!

6. Nail approximately every 6 to 12" around the outside edges of the tin panel, and in the center where the pattern allows.

Use one of the following:

7. We reccomend on larger cornices to use wooden brackets for backing close to the corners and on the overlapped seams. Inside corners are coped, outside corners are mitered. (Templates and pictures are available upon request)

Chipotle Mexican Grill and Panera Bread plan to open in January, according the general contractor.

Chris Palmese, executive supervisor for Frontier Building Corp. out of Miami, said Tuesday that Panera Bread should open by the end of January and Chipotle will open a couple of weeks earlier if all of the final permits go through.

Palmese said Panera Bread and Chipotle are slated to take possession of the building off Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard in the parking lot in front of Books-A-Million, close to the U.S. 70 interchange, on Jan. 13 and then spend about a week training employees.

Usually they open on a Tuesday, Palmese said. So it will probably be Jan. 20 or the 27.

The exterior of the buildingis completed and includes a drive-through for Panera Bread. Workers are now fitting out the interior, Palmese said.

Heating and air and plumbing contractors were installing equipment inside the building that will house both restaurants Tuesday.

The signs for Panera Bread and Chipotle Mexican Grill should be going up on the building by the end of next week, Palmese said.

Kevin Robinson, New Bern city planner, said in April that building plans showed Panera Bread will be 4,300 square feet and Chipotle will be 2,300 square feet.

Palmese said Chipotle will have a seating capacity of 77 and Panera Bread will seat up to 169.

Panera Bread, headquartered in Sunset Hills, Missouri, is a chain of bakery-cafe restaurants in the United States and Canada that specializes in sandwiches, bagels, muffins, pasta, soups, panini sandwiches, salads and artisan breads.
