Bathroom Remodeling: What to Include - Video

CADILLAC Community support for New Hope Homeless Shelters in Cadillac has funded the renovation of the men's shelter at 814 Lynn St.
A Cadillac Rotary Club grant and donations from individual contributors provided the funding for new flooring, a bathroom remodeling project that opened up more living and dining room space and new beds.
An open house for the public is being held from 4 to 7 p.m. today. There will be tours and light refreshments.
Five New Hope Shelters provide temporary housing for 37 people.
In 2013, after an anonymous donor gave $100,000 for the purpose, a shelter for women was opened. The shelter had 15 beds. Two family shelters provide beds for 15 people, and the men's shelter can house seven.
In the last fiscal year, the men's and women's shelters each provided housing for more than 100, and the family shelters provided beds for more than 260 men, women and children.
The shelters provide food, safety and shelter to the homeless regardless of why they are in need.
"This renovation for the men has been a long process," said Brenda Wright, director of New Hope. "But there's a sense of dignity in the house now. They are homeless, but they still need a nice place. It gives them a sense of peace and rest, plus dignity."
Shelter residents meet with case managers every week to discuss their goals and progress, while area agencies help them find jobs and permanent housing.

Shelter renovations offer dignity and peace
Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) July 17, 2014
Sunshine Recycling, provider of construction dumpsters in Jacksonville, FL is currently assisting Westmoreland Construction LLC on a new 6,000-square-foot building for Covenant Christian Church located at 10570 Greenville Road in South Jacksonville. Sunshine delivered a 30-yard container at the beginning of July and anticipates multiple weekly hauls through the duration of the job.
Covenant Christian Church was founded in 2011. The church is currently located at 4613 Phillips Hwy in Suite 211. The project began with excavation in May. Sunshine Recycling is collecting and hauling construction debris. Typical refuse generated from new construction includes wood, paper and cardboard, drywall or sheetrock, plastics, glass and metals.
We are happy to support our local community throughout Jacksonville, said Chuck Herb, owner of Sunshine Recycling in Jacksonville. This is a beautiful area in Southside for the church and its congregation. This is a moderate-size job that will generate a fair amount of refuse, so we provided an appropriate size dumpster and are able to accommodate their weekly hauling needs.
Sunshine Recycling provides roll off dumpsters for residential use during projects including small additions to a home, a remodel or a room renovation. Roll off dumpsters can also be used in commercial and industrial applications for excavation, renovations, new construction and demolition. In addition, Sunshine offers long-term waste management solutions in the form of trash compactors for local businesses.

Plans to speed up the renovation timeline for Falls Church High School remain in limbo as the Fairfax County School Board wrestles with the school systems construction backlog.
The School Boards drive to accelerate the high schools facilities upgrade stalled when confronted with the realities of the scheme, which would delay the renovations of 13 other schools.
The School Board in January directed staff to identify methods of expediting renovations for the countys five legacy high schools. Though the school system aims to renovate schools at least every 25 years, this group of schools - Falls Church, Herndon, Langley, Oakton and West Springfield - were all built around the same time in the 1960s and have never been fully renovated.
Falls Church faces the longest wait of any of these schools, with the start of construction still at least five years away. FCPS staff used Falls Church as a guinea pig to investigate the feasibility of speedier renovations.
The school is scheduled to receive funding for its renovation through the 2019 school bond referendum - if county voters continue to approve the biennial school bond votes.
To move that timeline up by two years, allowing Falls Church to receive funding from the 2017 bond and start its construction sooner, it would need to leapfrog other schools on the waiting list for renovations.
We simply dont have a silver bullet to deal with this request, said Jeff Platenberg, the assistant superintendent for facilities and transportation services. The challenge is, we have these needs that go beyond just one school, even legacy schools.
The school system contracts independent engineering firms to determine the order of schools for renovation. The last evaluation in 2008 placed 63 schools in a renovation queue based on the age and condition of their facilities, as well as other factors.
Falls Church currently sits at No. 45 on the queue. Accelerating its renovation would move the school up to No. 31.
Platenberg said such queue jumping has only occurred once before, when Chantilly High School was renovated out of order in the 1990s due to structural issues with the school building.

Sudanese Christians reacted with anger and surprise last weekend when it was announced that no new churches will be allowed to be built.
Guidance and Endowments Minister Shalil Abdullah announcedSaturday that there were enough churches already, and prohibited the construction of new houses of worship.
Sudan Council of Churches Secretary-General Rev. Kori El Ramli said the announcement follows the destructionof a church on June 30 in Khartoum. Officials have not identified a reason for the demolition, and church leaders were given only one day's notice before the church was destroyed.
Rev. El Ramli said that the number of Christians in Sudan is increasing, and that more churches will be needed.
"We want the government to give us new plots so we can build a new church," he told BBC's "Focus on Africa" radio show.
"We are citizens and the constitution says there is freedom of religion and worship so we are using this to get our rights."
In addition to the destruction of churches, El Ramli reported that Christians were forced to move from an area outside of Omdurman to an area north of the city. The church that the Christians attended was bulldozed, and they no longer have a place to worship.
The Council of Churches held a workshop on Monday, but it was interrupted by government officials who accused them of proselytizing, El Ramli said.
Some Sudanese Christians are afraid to attend church services out of fear of violence or other retaliation.

An historic Norwich church has been put up for sale with a 600,000 price tag, after its congregation dwindled.
To send a link to this page to a friend, you must be logged in.
The imposing St Peters Methodist Church occupies some 11,500 square metres in the heart of the citys Golden Triangle and is on the market.
But developers looking to snap up the Park Lane church so it can be turned into homes are likely to be disappointed.
Norwich City Council has indicated it wants the buildings to remain in use for the community and, for the time being at least, does not want it converted into residential use.
While the building, which was designed by city architect Cecil Yelf, is not listed by English Heritage, it is locally listed, which gives it some protection against demolition.
The property is made up of three interconnected buildings with some construction dating back to 1894, although the church itself was built in 1939.
Tom Corfield, from Hall Road-based surveyors Irelands, explained why the church was on the market.

For sale. Church in heart of city
SINGAPORE: Former City Harvest Church investment manager Chew Eng Han crossed swords with co-accused John Lam for a second day on Thursday (July 17), pointing to significant parts of Lam's testimony which he said were not true.
Both are among the six church leaders accused of using millions of church dollars to buy sham bonds to bankroll the pop music career of Sun Ho -- wife of church founder Kong Hee.
When he took the stand on Monday (July 14), former church board member John Lam singled out Chew Eng Han as the man who suggested the church invest in the bonds.
Lam said in June 2007, Chew asked to meet him and proposed to be the church's fund manager as he was setting up his own fund management company.
On Thursday (July 17), Chew, who is conducting his own defence after discharging his lawyer, said such a meeting "never happened" and produced evidence to show he was in Japan at that time. He also pointed to emails between some of the accused to show the idea to invest in the bonds had not been conceptualised then.
In addition, Chew said it was not true that he set up his firm specifically to manage the church's funds. Emails showed that Chew had informed Kong Hee that he wanted to set up his own firm because it was his dream, and personal career decision, and had done so in April 2007.
Chew noted that this was well before the decision was made to invest in the bonds.
He also pointed out that the church's investment into Xtron bonds had a mission objective, as this would go to funding the Crossover Project and that it was Kong Hee who oversaw all spiritual matters.
"A fund manager has no expertise in spiritual matters. You cannot engage a fund manager to assess the missions benefit of the church," Chew said.
Over the past couple of days, the point of risk-taking being inherent in the church's DNA has been brought up -- pointing to its investments, mission plans, and even the design and construction of its building in Jurong West.
