DAYTON, Ohio Composite Advantage has established partner company FRP Constructors LLC to provide critical on-site delivery and installation services for its Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite bridges and bridge decks. Headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, Composite Advantage designs and manufactures a range of FRP bridge products under its FiberSPAN brand for pedestrian, bicycle and trail applications.
Installation of FRP bridges and decks is straightforward because our products are prefabricated and light weight, says Scott Reeve, president of Composite Advantage. Customers and contractors sometimes have concerns though because the technology is fairly new to them. We can eliminate the guess work and ensure a projects success by giving them the option to have experienced personnel properly and quickly install our bridges and decks.
In addition to installation of FiberSPAN products with railings, FRP Constructors can perform abutment work, bridge erection, finishing work, repair of structures with FRP materials and helical pile installation. Existing bridge structures can be removed for projects requiring bridge replacements.
FRP Constructors also provides repair services that include damage assessment, removal of damaged materials, and new material replacement for FRP piping, panel and plate applications. The company has the capability to work with all types of FRP repair materials and can provide PE-stamped repair plans.
FRP Constructors serves bridge customers in the Midwest region which covers Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Missouri. Installation in other regions is available for select projects.

SEATTLE (AP) - As wildfires burn homes and thousands of square miles across the West, fire experts say simple actions like clearing brush around a home or removing pine needles from decks could make the difference in whether a house survives or burns to the ground.
Fire science research over the last decade has produced strategies that can help reduce a home's chances of igniting, and fire officials are trying to spread the word in fire-prone areas that these little things are hugely important.
"It hard to provide 100 percent guarantee on anything, but there are a number of things homeowners can do - and a lot of them are small but also important," said Steve Quarles, a senior scientist with the nonprofit Florida-based Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety.
Whether a home makes it through a fire often depends on what is or is not in the zone surrounding it, known as defensible space, as well as the design and materials used in home construction, Quarles said.
Property owners can reduce their risk of wildfire damage by choosing metal roofs over wood shake roofs, for example, keeping flammable materials such as firewood piles away from the home, spacing trees farther apart and by clearing brush from nearby roads.
Increasingly, homeowners and communities are seeing the benefits of such strategies, and they're joining voluntary programs such as the National Fire Protection Association's Firewise Communities.
"Interest is growing as people understand that they actually have a role to play," said Lucian Deaton, senior program manager for Firewise, which is partly paid for by the U.S. Forest Service.
More than 1,000 communities in 41 states are recognized as "firewise" because they're taking steps to prepare their homes from wildfire risks.
Still, that represents a small fraction of the estimated 72,000 communities located in wildfire-prone areas.

London, Ontario is one of the best places in the country. If theres any one place Id recommend people to move to, it would definitely be London. The city boasts an amazing community. In addition to this, its infrastructure rivals that of the most well-developed cities in the world. London might not be very popular among tourists, but is certainly considered one of the best cities in the world by most of the people who visit it.
Of course, despite the fact that London is such a great place, it also faces some problems like any other city in the world. One of Londons most pervasive problems happens to be mold growth. Due to the climate in the area, mold can easily grow in many homes in the city. Thankfully, though, despite mold growth being a big problem in the city, it is actually very easy to deal with. Thanks to the fact that there are so many mold contractors both within and without the area, mold growth is never a big problem for those who live in the city.
Despite mold growth being a common problem in the city, fatal allergic and asthma attacks that result from them are not that common. This is because virtually every member of the citys community knows that they should call a mold removal contractor the minute they suspect the mold growth in their home to be significant. Mold removal contractors are typically quick to respond to requests from Londons citizens this is because mold contractors consider London a hotspot when it comes to mold growth (London is such a hotspot for mold that there are even times when GTA mold contractors have to go out of their way just to service the homes of Londons residents).
Also, even though mold growth is a very common problem faced by Londons community, their daily routine is never disturbed when they get professional help. This is because mold remediation techniques have evolved in such a way that they are now non-disruptive. Gone are the days when mold removal contractors would immediately tear down walls the minute they suspect mold growth in a home to be significant. Now, they exhaust minimally invasive mold testing and removal methods first before they have to do that.
Due to the fact that the level of humidity in my home is always high, I have to call a mold removal company often to deal with mold growth. Its become routine already. Still, it doesnt really get to me. The mold removal company that services my home uses the most efficient and non-disruptive mold testing and remediation methods. Also, they dont really take a lot of time doing their job thanks to the fact that they use the latest mold removal technologies, Michael Lanegan, a homeowner in London, told us.
Dont let Londons pervasive mold problem deter you from moving to the area. Its really just a minor problem you can deal with easily. Hiring the help of a mold remediation company isnt going to cost you a lot, so its not really a major drawback. The city of London has a lot to offer when it comes to education, culture, science, etc. Its definitely a city you would do well to consider moving to.

From our newsroom to your inbox weekday mornings at 9AM.
LINDENHURST, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) Homeowners in oneLong Island town have new concerns about a home on their block that is apparently filled with mold.
As CBS 2s Jennifer McLogan reported, school starts next week in Lindenhurst and parents dont want their children walking to Harding Elementary School past the so-called Mold House on Granada Parkway.
Residents say active wasp nests inhabit the door frame, cats and mice can be heard scurrying within and spores can be seen clinging to windows and siding.
My next step is to have an X-ray of my lungs, because I dont know if its doing anything permanent, said homeowner Keith Daniels. And weve got a school across the street thats starting up, we have hundreds of kids walking every day by here.
Daniels saidhe has had a lingering cough and painful chest. He also said his street was ravaged by Superstorm Sandy.
The tidal surge was up at least 8 feet. (Including next door?) Yes,Daniels said.
Daniels neighbors never returned after Sandy and the home went into foreclosure,McLogan reported.
Now, 22 months later, amid sodden sheetrock, wrecked floors and floating carpets, mold spores the size of basketballs can be spotted lurking within the stench overpowering.

If your bathroom could use a little love, it's a smart place to spend money. Behind kitchens, bathrooms provide the second best return on investment when remodeling. In this week's Angie's List report, Nancy Naeve takes a closer look at a growing trend in bathroom design. Should you swap your tub for a shower?
Bathroom remodeling contractor, Dan Updike, says many of his customers are choosing to ditch bulky tubs in favor of more luxurious showers.
The bathing generation is kind of gone by the wayside. We are a pretty much shower generation anymore. So rather than have the bathtub that you lift your leg over that's a confined space if you put in a large shower it's more of the spa-type shower, Bathroom Remodeling Contractor Dan Updike said.
"The trend these days is to convert bathtubs into showers. There are so many choices when it comes to showers and they potentially take up less space than the large garden tubs that have been historically in homes. If you are a homeowner that wants to age in place, grow old in your home, a shower can be a safer alternative for you, Angie's List Founder Angie Hicks said.
When it comes to walk-in showers, the design options are nearly endless. They can be customized to fit just about any size, shape or lifestyle.
As far as options for the shower with the older generation the grab bars, maybe some corner seats, some hand held showers, things like that. Inside shampoo holders or corner shelves, we always have some type of shelving go into the unit. Frame-less shower doors so it's more glass, less metal. And then it's a matter of what to put on the shower walls whether it's tile with accent trim tile or go to the solid surface wall system, Updike said.
Updike says converting a standard five-foot tub into a shower typically starts around $4,500, but prices can quickly increase depending on the materials and options you choose.
If you want to go tub to a shower it's very simple to do, you just need to move plumbing a little bit for the new setup. Other than that they make shower bases the same size as bathtubs. We normally use solid surface bases instead of plastic or fiberglass. They are very heavy duty and come in a variety of colors to coordinate whether it's tile on the walls or solid surface wall panels, Updike said.
While nearly every bathtub can be converted into a shower, it's not always the best idea.
Replacing a tub for a shower is not for everyone. If you only have one bathroom in your house you want to be sure you keep a tub because what will end up happening is you'll hurt your resale value. Families with kids, they like tubs and without one it can hurt you, Hicks said.

Angie's List Report: Replacing the Tub

In the broader market, a 2014 bathroom-trends study by Houzz Inc., the online design and remodeling resource ( http://www.houzz.com), showed that 4 in 10 of the 7,645 homeowners who shared information about their renovations are choosing to forgo bathtubs, even in the master suite.
Homeowners under 45 are choosing multiple or rain-shower heads, the study showed, while those over 55 prefer handheld showers and sliding bars.
Frameless glass shower doors are in. Glass blocks are out.
Typical of the trend, said Nick Meli Jr., owner of Nick Meli Jr. Contracting in Center City, is a renovation he did this year for a condo owner in Independence Place on Washington Square. Client Robin Cooper, who owns a one-bedroom unit, wanted to replace her 25-year-old tub with a sleek, all-glass walk-in shower.
"It used to be you never did that, especially if there was only one tub," said Meli.
"We're seeing much more demand for walk-in showers," he added. Millennials "don't take baths; they want to shower, get in and get out. Soaking in a tub? No way, their homes are a place to sleep and then leave for work. Older people don't want tubs because they're 20 inches from the floor; they can't step over them. So we're really doing this for everyone."
A typical bathroom is about 5 feet by 10 feet, and most tubs are about 60 inches long. In condos, Meli said, 90 percent of his shower conversions/renovation jobs involve removing tubs. "That's how much of a difference in demand we've seen lately," he noted.
Cooper recalled that when she moved into the building, Philadelphia Realtors such as Allan Domb had a warning for owners in her building and others: "He said, 'Don't take the tub out of a one-bedroom. It won't hold its resale value, and it won't be as popular' as other units."
She added, "In a one-bedroom, it was taboo to remove the tub. You didn't touch it. Now, that's not the case at all."
Things started changing in the last few years. "Now, I probably get three calls a week to change over a tub to a shower. I did three estimates just this week," Meli said.

Briar Creek Missionary Baptist Church, a place of worship founded in the seventh district of Hancock County in 1882, was destroyed by fire on Monday, March 3, 2014.
Many members of the community and church stood by and watched sadly as the building was consumed. Since losing its historic building, the church congregation has been meeting at Seal Mathis Community Center on Tazewell Highway - thanks to the American Legion Post No. 183, current tenants of the community center building.
People and organizations have rallied around our congregation, donating time, labor, materials and money to the task of rebuilding our building. We are currently in the process of rebuilding, and our basement is well underway. We want to take this opportunity to thank each and every person who has contributed, no matter how big or small they feel their donation was -- it is huge in our eyes! We appreciate your generosity and prayers, and we ask for your continued prayers as we undertake completing our church building.
Briar Creek Church currently has a few fundraising projects planned. There will be a yard sale at the Farmer's Market (Court Street) in Sneedville on Saturday, Aug. 30, as well as a carwash at Shepherd's Corner (Jail Street). Both events will begin at 8 a.m. and last until 3 p.m. In addition, Mel Welch is available to pick up scrap metal (such as old cars, appliances, etc.), with all proceeds going to the Briar Creek Building Fund. If you have scrap metal to donate, please contact Mel at (865) 254-7731.
Briar Creek Baptist Church, pastored by the Rev. Joe Davis, meets weekly for Sunday School beginning at 10 a.m. on Sundays with Worship at 11 a.m., Discipleship Training at 6 p.m., and Evening Worship at 7 p.m. Bible Study classes meet on Wednesdays at 7 p.m..We welcome your attendance gladly!
