Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Reddick Library patrons have been doing a certain amount of gawking this week after they first enter through the library's familiar brick exterior.

The inside is pretty different.

The north end of the building, which has been closed for remodeling, was reopened Monday, and the south end closed down as the library's $2 million renovation project moved into its second major phase.

The view through the main entryway's new sliding doors is of a new circulation desk right where the old one was located but looking much more sleek.

Director Kathy Clair noted the desk's three distinct transaction windows and that a lower customer counter means someone seated in a wheelchair can pull right up.

Elsewhere in the remodeled north end are new study rooms and a quiet reading room.

A new teen room is destined for the area behind the circulation desk, but the space is temporarily being used to house the local history collection and microfilm readers.

Other finishing touches remain to be completed, Clair said.

"We're waiting for some furnishings and finishes," she said.

Additional book cases are due by the end of the month.

Reddick Library starts new remodeling phase

CHIEFTAIN PHOTO/CHRIS MCLEAN Jim Berta of Team 3 Construction walks through the ongoing remodeling project in the boys 4-H dorm shower room at the Colorado State Fairgrounds on Thursday.. Dorm renovation is one of the projects underway in preparation for the State Fair next month.

As they say, The show must go on.

Despite the National Little Britches Final Rodeo taking over the Colorado State Fairgrounds throughout the week with thousands of competitors, spectators and horses, crews are still working tirelessly to prepare the Fairground facilities for next months Colorado State Fair.

Little Britches kind of puts us on hold for a bit. Our facilities are pretty filled up during this week. At any given time, well have about 500 horses at the Fair and they have almost 1,400 for Little Britches, said Chris Wiseman, Colorado State Fair general manager. It puts us in sort of a time crunch, but in all of the 10 years theyve been coming, its never held us back much.

Wiseman said even during the rodeo, work is ongoing to renovate the newly renamed Growing Mind Dormitories, which will house 4-H and Future Farmers of America participants this year for the first time.

Were finishing up installing new carpets and restroom facilities in the boys dorms right now, and we should have an HVAC system set up in the girls dorms before the Fair starts, Wiseman said. Well also be putting about 80 new lockers and 40 new beds in there. I think it will help improve the environment and hopefully it will draw more kids.

The lockers and beds are coming from Dubworks SC, a local company based in Erie that expanded to Pueblo in January of this year, Wiseman said.

It will be the first time weve ever had lockers in the dorms, Wiseman said. Eventually, we will get an HVAC in the boys dorms, too. But at some point, we have to decide if were running out of time before the Fair starts.

Wiseman said some of the other noticeable and many of the not-so-noticeable renovations to the Fairgrounds this year will include new roofing on several of the buildings, installation of new 20-foot fans in the livestock pavilion and Palace of Agriculture, and renovations to the electrical systems for the vendors at the Fairgrounds.

Preparation each year probably costs us around $250,000 easily, and you can probably add about $150,000 to that this year, Wiseman said. In the 17 years that Ive been here, weve done about $16 million in improvements to the grounds, most of which comes from the states general fund, the historical fund and donations to the State Fair Foundation.

HOMEOWNERS SMASH THEIR WAY TO SPECTACULAR RENOVATIONS ON DIY NETWORK'S "SLEDGEHAMMER"

NEW YORK [For Immediate Release - July 21, 2014] Popular DIY Network host and licensed contractor Jason Cameron helps homeowners smash their way to gorgeous new spaces by wrecking and remodeling their worst rooms in DIY Network's newest series, Sledgehammer. Premiering Wednesday, August 6, at 10 p.m. and 10:30 ET/PT, Sledgehammer features homeowners who think they're trying out for a home improvement show, but instead get a surprise visit from Jason who promises to fix any room they can completely demolish in 30 minutes.

"We see these homeowners on-camera talking about all the stuff they hate about their house, but they have no idea that we're going to give them a chance to pulverize a room or two and create their dream space," said Jason. "The catch is that each room must be completely gutted before they can move on to wreck the next room, otherwise we will not renovate it. Risky yes - but the payoff could be great."

During the premiere, homeowners Simon and Molly demolish their room of choice: an interesting basement. With a leprechaun mural that needs to come down, a drop ceiling and a bar on its last legs, they are ready to take out the walls and have a comfortable entertaining space for their family. Then, at 10:30 p.m. watch Chris and Lynsie tackle their kitchen with the hopes of also getting a new bathroom and only two minutes left on the clock. Both couples want two room remodels, but as the clock ticks down, they may face cleaning up the mess on their own if they can't demo the space in time.

"Sledgehammer not only offers a new twist on the home renovation process, but it showcases the ultimate homeowner fantasy-ripping out hated rooms and replacing them with a gorgeous new one," said Allison Page, general manager, HGTV and DIY Network. "You smash it, we fix it- doesn't get much better than that."

Homeowners Smash Their Way to Spectacular Renovations on DIY Network's "Sledgehammer"

Drive by the new Denny Sanford Premier Center and you might be in awe of its size. But you may be curious about those rippled metal panels around the exterior.

City Council members are asking questions including who's responsible for the cost of repairs.

Those on the city council say they were told the city was only obligated to pay $117 million for the construction of the events center.

Tuesday afternoon, Dave Pfeifle addressed the council. He said an independent third party is investigating both the materials and the method of installation used on the construction of the metal panels.

Two new mockups will be completed by mid-October and then they'll have a good idea how to solve the problem.

Substantial completion should be finished August 1. The metal siding issue will not affect the grand opening of the events center.
