    Looking to sell? Or stick around? Home renovation recommendations for any situation – WHO TV 13 Des Moines News & Weather

    - November 16, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    DES MOINES, Iowa With the pandemic and the changes in the housing market within the last few years, you probably know someone who has done a renovation or bought a new home.

    According to findings from a survey on Houzz.com, a home design and remodeling site, from 2020 to 2021 the amount people have spent on home renovations has gone up about 15 percent.

    Lynn Johnson, a local real estate agent, said that renovations run from basic to extreme, but there are a few things you should be evaluating right off the bat depending on whether you want to sell your home or stick around.

    If you really are looking to sell your home, what are some things that you know about your house. Things that you already dont like are also going to be things that buyers are not going to like. But if youre looking to stay in your home, make it your own, with a neutral palette, said Johnson.

    Kitchen and bath remodels are the most popular and they usually cost the most but have the highest return on investment.

    Johnson wants people to know that they can remodel things without breaking the bank. Purchasing new handles and faucets for your bathroom or kitchen areas or painting outdated wood cabinets are good places to start.

    As for when to accomplish these projects, now is the time.

    When that weather starts to warm up after the first thing, thats when we hit a new market or spring market starts, and sometimes were well into the spring market before we even realize it, said Johnson. Its one of those things where we were in it and weve been in it for two weeks and you dont want to miss out. So do your projects now. But I would also consult with a professional. Sometimes what you have in mind that you like is not what the buyers want. And those are different trends that are really a big deal.

    Johnson does recommend consulting someone like a designer or stager for more extreme home projects, especially if someone is trying to increase the value of their home.

    Renovating? These home projects have the highest return on investment for Lancaster County – LNP | LancasterOnline

    - November 16, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Your home has become a refuge, a school, an office and more over the last two years.

    Whats the best way to make it better and improve your investment?

    Replace the roof?

    Expand the owners suite?

    Add a fancy bathroom?

    Remodeling magazine creates an annual cost-versus-value report, comparing the cost of home renovations and the return on investment at resale.

    The 2021 report explores which projects add the most value to your home. In Lancaster County and throughout the country, most of the top projects are exterior upgrades. That makes sense. The curb appeal of a garage door and siding can make big impressions. And while decks are popular, they did not make the cut with the increased cost of materials.

    The Top 5 in Lancaster County are:

    Replacing an old 16-by-7-foot garage door in Lancaster County costs an average of $3,847, one of the cheapest renovations. The return, based on the percent recouped in the sale of the home, is the highest: 96%.

    Wrapping the front of a home with stone veneer (an average cost of $10,247) is another project on the lower end for the cost of renovations. The return is 88%.

    Replacing 1,250 square feet of siding (an average cost of $15,683) brought a return of 74.8%. In Lancaster County, thats a slightly better return than fiber-cement siding.

    Replacing the same amount of siding with fiber-cement will cost about 17% more than vinyl siding (at an average cost of $18,715) but the return is still high at 70.9%.

    Only one high-return project came from indoors. Renovating kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms have so many options, its tough to have a wide appeal, according to Remodeling Magazine. However, a minor kitchen remodel still is a top-return project.

    With an average cost of $25,302, the return is 70.8%, more than double the major and upscale kitchen renovations.

    What is a midrange, minor kitchen remodel? Remodeling magazine defines it as a dated 200-square-foot kitchen with new shaker-style wood cabinet and drawer fronts, including new hardware. Replace cooktop/oven range and slide-in refrigerator with energy-efficient models. Replace laminate countertops; add a mid-priced sink and faucet. Add new resilient flooring and paint.

    Riverboat Foundation Gives Out Over $600000 In Competitive Grants – KIWARadio.com

    - November 16, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Inwood, Iowa For the first time since the Grand Falls Casino was opened, the Lyon County Riverboat Foundation has held a grant ceremony somewhere other than the casino. And they gave out over $600,000 in grants.

    The ceremony was held at the Lake Pahoja Education Center, which was built with the aid of a grant from the foundation. Instead of hor doeuvres from the culinary staff of the casino and resort, they were provided by Sharis Kitchen & Catering in Rock Rapids.

    Some of the larger grants given were nearly $220,000 to the Lyon County Fair Association toward the remodeling of the 4-H Building, $100,000 to the City of Rock Rapids toward the extension of the Recreational Trail system, about $52,500 to Rock Rapids Kiwanis toward playground equipment, and $40,000 to the Larchwood Baseball Club toward a new outfield fence. Other organizations receiving funding included Inwood Fire/Rescue, the Rapids Theatre Preservation Society, the Matlock Fire Department, Northwest Iowa Community College, the Little Rock Town & Country Club, the City of Alvord, the City of George, Immanuel Lutheran Church of Rock Rapids, the Larchwood Public Library, the Siouxland Food Bank, and the City of Inwood Recreation Department.

    The board has not been awarding any new multi-cycle grants for the last few years, according to foundation president Randy Waagmeester. He says they continue to make payments on two of them from past years, however, including a payment of $75,000 to Rock Rapids Kids Club for their daycare and $100,000 to the Merrill Pioneer Hospital Association toward the hospital that was built in Rock Rapids.

    The other side of the grant coin is the money thats given to government subdivisions in Lyon County every quarter. Those present also heard an update about how much has been given out to those entities in 2021, and since the inception of the foundation. Those amounts can be found under the competitive grant table below.

    Grants to cities are based on population. Grants given to cities this year ranged from a total of nearly $60,000 for Lyon Countys smallest town of Alvord to a total of nearly $72,000 for the countys largest town of Rock Rapids. Each school district has received about $196,500 in 2021, and Lyon County government has received about $83,000.

    Tips for Creating a Warm and Inviting Home for the Holidays – Signals AZ

    - November 16, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Brought to you by Beltone - A leader in hearing healthcare.

    Here we are, close to the end of the year and facing the oncoming holidays. Do you secretly dread the hustle and bustle or are you excitedly anticipating all the sights, sounds, smells, and activities? Whatever holiday you celebrate, this is a busy time of year for everyone. Sometimes life events happen during this busy time, like a move, or a new baby, or even the passing of a loved one that amplifies the intensity of the season.

    With that in mind, here are some tips that can help make your home inviting and comfortable and can help you to relax and enjoy the season.

    Nows a great time to purge the things you dont need from your closets, in the storage room, stuff piled in the guest room, and in the garage. Get rid of the clutter piling on desks, counters, and corners of the room. Wow, it feels so good to de-clutter.

    If you dont want to do it, hire a company to come and get things cleaned up. Particularly the areas you often skip, like baseboards, fans, window tracks, inside the oven, and inside the fridge. This is a great time of year to get the carpets and the windows professionally cleaned.

    Easily freshen up the guest room with some new linens, clear a space in the closet or dresser for their things. Make sure there is a night light and a bedside clock. It is a nice touch to place some flowers or a small holiday arrangement in the room.

    Generally, when people gather, they end up huddling in or around the kitchen. Clear counter space by putting small appliances in cabinets or in another room and put a diffuser with holiday scent in the corner. This is a great time of year to make sure the oven has been cleaned and the inside of the fridge cleaned out. Make room for the leftovers and the goodie plates from friends and neighbors.

    Give yourself permission to hire someone to help with the things that you cant do or just dont want to spend your time on. Some tasks are best done by professionals. Dont push yourself to tackle tasks that may end up causing injury, like getting up on ladders etc.

    If you are hosting, remember, people come to visit and renew relationships. The meal does not have to be complicated to be enjoyed and remembered. Set a pretty buffet on the island with a few decorations and let people self serve. This frees up time for you to enjoy the evening also.

    A great way to get people talking and reminiscing is to run a continuous slide show on the TV, with some quiet holiday music in the background. People LOVE to see themselves and their loved ones over the years. This also helps people who dont know each other well, interact and inquire about whos in the picture. This is easy to do with various slide show programs available or even a photo DVD set on repeat. I sometimes have added in beautiful holiday scenes randomly placed between the pictures of family and friends that I knew would be there. This sets a warm and festive atmosphere in the room.

    What better feeling than to come back to a home that is de-cluttered, clean, and ready for the new year.

    With a little effort and a little planning, you can go into the holidays confident that you have created a warm, welcoming, and clean home. If you would like Prescott Maid to Order to help you get ready to relax and check cleaning off your list of things to do, simply call us today at 928-899-8518.

    Massive Restoration Of Logan Square’s 109-Year-Old ‘Red Church’ Nearly Complete – Block Club Chicago

    - November 16, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    LOGAN SQUARE The restoration of the 109-year-old Norwegian Lutheran Memorial Church, one of the most recognizable buildings in Logan Square, is drawing to a close after months of construction.

    Since June, construction crews have been rebuilding the churchs crumbling brick facade and making other structural and cosmetic upgrades to the tune of $725,000. Its the first major renovation of the church since it was completed in 1912. That work is coming to an end later this month, church treasurer Matt Nygaard said.

    When crews remove the scaffolding covering the church, theyll unveil a completely restored church facade with mortar original to the 1912 church and updated copper framing around the steeple, among other upgrades, Nygaard said.

    Also this month, but likely before construction is complete, church leaders will hold their annual Taste of Norway celebration 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Nov. 20 at the church, 2614 N. Kedzie Ave. Like in previous years, the event will feature traditional Norwegian treats and crafts, such as handmade Nyssa hats, Havreflakk cookies and Scandinavian porridge and a rosemaling demonstration. Proceeds will benefit the church.

    This years event will double as a celebration of the renovation project. Because there were no unforeseen costs during construction, church leaders were able to make additional improvements that werent part of the original scope of the project, such as rebuilding the parapet wall that flanks the front of the church, Nygaard said.

    The event is also momentous because last years gathering had to be canceled because of the pandemic.

    Its just a chance to get together and celebrate that the project went as well as it did, Nygaard said.

    Before the renovation project, the church was in a state of disrepair. Most notably, its brick facade was falling apart, endangering church-goers and passersby. But the church also suffered from water damage and other forms of structural decay.

    Church leaders were worried about the long-term stability of the church ahead of the big changes and heavy construction coming to the square, including thelong-anticipated traffic circle reworkand the construction of theGraces Furniture boutique hotel.

    With heavy, earth-moving machinery expected to operate not far from the churchs doorstep, there is an increased sense of urgency to further stabilize the physical structure of Minnekirken, the church leaders said in anonline fundraiserin 2020.

    The renovation project was a lifeline for the church, which is a hub for Chicagos Norwegian community and a neighborhood staple. The church has hosted community meetings for decades. Its location on the square makes it highly visible to neighbors and visitors.

    Minnekirken was completed in 1912, making it one of the oldest ethnic churches in Logan Square. Its just one of two churches in the United States where Norwegian is the primary language spoken.

    The churchs original stained glass windows wererestored in 2016thanks to donations from neighbors and Logan Square Preservation, a neighborhood group dedicated to the preservation and beautification of Logan Square.

    Church leaders received a $250,000 grant last year through the citys Adopt-A-Landmark program to bring the renovation project to life. The rest of the funding came from the churchs coffers and more than $100,000 in donations.

    As the extensive rehab project nears completion, church leaders have launched a smaller fundraiser for additional restoration work. The fundraiser, which has a goal of $30,000, will pay for a new railing and side gate and repairing and repainting the churchs original windows.

    All of the improvements will ensure the church is around for another 100 years, church leaders said in the fundraiser.

    To buy cookies and other treats online in advance of the Taste of Norway, go to the churchs online store.

    With a Veto by the Mayor, the Buckhead Church Development Hits a Snag – What Now Atlanta

    - November 16, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    [Update (Nov. 15, 2021): Atlanta City Council overrode the mayors veto by a vote of 10 to 4. The project can move forward as planned.]

    Opt out at anytime

    Last week, Greenstone Properties, the Atlanta-based real-estate company, submitted plans and received the approval to rezone the 13-acre site located at 3626 Peachtree Rd. NE on behalf of Church at Wieuca, formally known as Wieuca Road Baptist Church, reported by What Now Atlanta.

    Not satisfied with the outcome, Mayor Bottoms issued a veto on the approval, effectively stopping the developments ability to move forward unless the Atlanta City Council overrides the Mayors action. The veto is in contrast to the unanimous conditional approvals issued by City Planners, the Neighborhood Planning Unit, Zoning Review Board, Zoning Committee, and finally, the Atlanta City Council in the past few months.

    Today, Monday, November 15, at 1 pm, the City Council will discuss the veto issued by the Mayor. The Council will need to determine whether to override the veto decision, which allows the developer to move forward with construction plan development or sustain the action of the Mayor, effectively ending the current development proposal.

    The Atlanta City Council conditionally approved the rezoning from SPI-12 SA, SPI-12 SA, and R-3 to SPI-12SA 1, SPI-12 SA 2 and SPI-12SA 3, and an amended plan which included 444,000 square feet of office and accessory retail, 300 units of multi-family residential and an expanded parking deck. According to the site plan prepared by Kimley Horn, the development also included 38 townhome units and 13 single-family Cottage Homes.

    According to the site plan, the office and multi-family building height will reach 382 feet. In addition, the height of the Church will expand 75 feet above the existing sanctuary floor elevation, and the cottage home and townhome heights will transition from 35 feet to 50 feet.

    In a letter dated November 10, 2021, written by Mayor Bottoms to the City Council President and Members of the Atlanta Council, stated, the approval of this legislation would result in a number of the residents of the adjacent and neighboring properties experiencing unique negative impacts, which the City of Atlanta should not ignore.

    The letter goes on to state, If approved, this legislation, would in effect, initiate the development of one of the largest remaining undeveloped properties in Buckhead, generally, and in the area of Wieuca Road and Peachtree Road, specifically. Currently, this property consists largely of wooded areas and greenspace. As this property is largely undeveloped, any resulting development thereof would result in an exponential increase in traffic, larger than what could be expected from the redevelopment of an existing development. Accordingly, the development resulting from the approval of this legislation would undoubtedly contribute to a disproportionately negative effect on the traffic patterns experienced by the adjacent neighbors and others residing in closest proximity to the proposed development. Thus, this legislation and the proposed development resulting therefrom, would ultimately have a disproportionately negative effect on the ability of these residents to utilize and enjoy their properties.

    The letter to the City Council ends with While I believe we all agree that some future mixed-use development of this important property is appropriate and desirable, the density and intensity of this specific proposal, and the severe negative effects likely to result therefrom, warrant reconsideration of the City of Atlantas approval of the proposed rezoning of the property pursuant to this legislation. Accordingly, I request that you sustain my veto of Ordinance Number 21-O-0486.

    What Now Atlanta will update the status of the development after the Atlanta City Council veto discussion.Source: Official

    New Coffee House Opening in Rock Island Mall – WQAD.com

    - November 16, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    A new holistic coffee shop is opening in a Rock Island shopping center.

    ROCK ISLAND, Ill. Founders of a shopping center in Rock Island and local officials broke ground on a mall's newest addition Monday.

    Reverend Darryl and Kim Thompson of the House of Fire Ministries church in Rock Island are opening Wholly Grinds Coffee House in the Embassy Square Shopping Mall on 11th Street.

    "Holy grinds has really become our vision of advancing community," said Rev. Kim Thompson. "We really want it to be a place that's wholesome and welcoming to our community."

    The reverends opened two other businesses and their church in the same shopping center over the last decade.

    Local community leaders say they are excited for the shop to open and the economic developments invested in the community.

    "Making a commitment and investment in the city of Rock Island, helping small businesses get started is quite a commitment and we appreciate that," said Rock Island Mayor, Mike Thoms.

    "I can't wait for them to be open. I love their menu that they're proposing. It's my kind of place. It's healthy offerings. And I like what Pastor Thompson said about the vibe that she's trying to create," said Rock Island 3rd Ward Alderwoman, Judith Gilbert.

    Construction will begin Wednesday, Nov. 17. The coffee shop is expected to open in 2022.

    Gregory Wilder: Could the LDS Church single-handedly solve world hunger? – Salt Lake Tribune

    - November 16, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    (Rick Bowmer | AP photo)In this Oct. 5, 2019, photo, The Salt Lake Temple stands at Temple Square in Salt Lake City.

    | Nov. 12, 2021, 1:00 p.m.

    In Brazil, the impoverished build their home one cinder block at a time. Saving enough money to build a single additional room often takes years. During the lengthy construction, families live in any room that is completed, meaning it has walls and a tin roof.

    In 2004, I was a 20 year-old missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Fernando, Ana and their three daughters were learning about the church in the only room in their home. Fernando and Ana had been saving to buy additional cinder blocks for a wall for a second room, which would eventually be their kitchen.

    For the past twenty minutes, I had been sitting on their bed as they sat on the dirt floor. This family listened intently as I taught them one of the last lessons required before they could be baptized.

    I looked up and recited what I had been told my entire life If you pay your tithing, God will open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing. The family was soon baptized into the church. Paying tithing meant that completing a second room to their meager home would take additional years as their payment of 10 percent of their earnings was an extreme sacrifice for this impoverished family.

    In LDS culture, church members are told that their financial sacrifices to pay tithing are sacred. It is often explained that they are living examples of the biblical widow who gave her last mite to the church. These sacrifices are deemed to be sacred by the church.

    Recently, the vast difference in wealth that exists between the wealthiest and the poorest has taken the forefront of discussion on social media.

    Memes decrying excessive wealth have become ever-present. One common meme states that Elon Musk could single-handedly solve world hunger, but chooses not to. Indeed, this argument reignited at the recent G-20 Summit when Elon Musk sparred over Twitter with leaders who said that minimal help from billionaires could solve world hunger.

    In 2019, it came to light that the church had amassed over $100 billion in stocks. These holdings exclude significant real estate, cattle and farm holdings that the church owns.

    This discovery was jarring to many church members who believe that Jesus Christ, himself, gave instructions to a faithful, but wealthy follower to sell all of his belongings and to give the proceeds to the poor. When the follower left saddened, Jesus said it was harder for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it was for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of heaven.

    The churchs vast accumulation of wealth goes directly against Jesuss teachings of caring for the poor and raises a question regarding the propriety of requiring its poorest members to choose tithing over necessities and then allegedly using the funds to buy stocks.

    Although the memes about Musk ending world hunger are often done in hyperbole, I do believe it would be worthwhile posing the same hypothetical question of the church: could the church single-handedly solve world hunger?

    It is estimated that 3.1 million children die of hunger each year. These deaths are preventable.

    Few people and organizations have ever been in as strong of a position to solve world hunger as the church is. By some estimates, the church owns one million acres of farmland. This farmland could uniquely be used to feed millions of the worlds starving.

    Additionally, the church already has worldwide ties to most communities and methods of distribution of food to the needy. It also has vast worldwide infrastructure and real estate holdings.

    Some experts estimate that the cost to solve world hunger is between $7 billion and $265 billion dollars per year. If the lowest estimate is correct, world hunger could be solved entirely by using only the interest on the churchs investments.

    Even if the church were to put just one tenth of its interest toward solving world hunger, it could potentially make a significant dent in helping feed the poorest in the world and literally save millions of lives.

    Could the church single-handedly solve world hunger? As a well-equipped charitable organization, it should try.

    Gregory John Wilder II, Provo, is an attorney with a degree in history from Brigham Young University and a law degree from Texas Wesleyan School of Law.
