Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

SANFORD, FLA. Wendover Housing Partners, an Altamonte Springs, Fla.-based multifamily developer, has broken ground on Monroe Landings, a $16.3 million affordable housing community in Sanford. Wendover received $11.5 million in tax credit equity, $1.3 million from partner Orlando Housing Authority and a $2.8 million permanent loan from Neighborhood Lending Partners. Roger B. Kennedy Construction is overseeing the construction of the community.

Located at 375 Oleander Ave. in Sanford, Monroe Landings will be a 60-unit, multifamily community with one-, two- and three-bedroom units. Community amenities will include a clubhouse with a gathering area and fireplace, resident computer center, pool, tot lot, gazebo with picnic tables, outdoor grills and a community gardening area. Rent is expected to start at $766 per month for one-bedroom units, $908 per month for two-bedroom units and $1,041 per month for three-bedroom units. Wendover expects to move residents in by the end of 2021 or beginning of 2022.

In November 2013, HUD demolished an existing affordable housing community at the site after being deemed uninhabitable. Several hundred residents were displaced at the time the community was demolished. Wendover will offer the former residents the option to live at Monroe Landings when completed. The property will serve as the first phase of development for the revitalization of the Goldsboro neighborhood, being the first large-scale development there in more than 20 years.

In addition to Monroe Landings, Wendover currently has three other affordable communities in the development pipeline in Central Florida, as well as four affordable active communities.

The Mermaid Trail festivities on Saturday, February 20th will take trekkers to the 1885 Depot and adjoining Countryman One Room School House on Russell Street and, also, to the May-Stringer at the top of the Jefferson Street hill at 601 Museum Court.

The Brooksville Main Street program started the fun way of touring Brooksville. The brass, mermaid figurines have have been given names. For instance, Mermaid Arcelia lives in the rafters of the Depot and her sister Mermaid Maridith has a place of honor in the gazebo at the May-Stringer. A lovely collection of Mermaid memorabilia can be found on the third floor of the Museum. Along with Mermaid history starting in 1947 you will also be able to view photos of Weeki Wachee Springs before it became Floridas first roadside attraction.

By the way, it is quite possible that a live Mermaid may join Maridith in the gazebo on Saturday!

AMHERST The Emily Dickinson Museum, which has made a number of improvements to its facilities and grounds in recent years to increase their historical accuracy, is about to embark on what staff are calling its most significant restoration project to date.

From the installation of period-style wallpaper and carpets, to the inclusion of decorative items and furnishings appropriate to the 1850s, the estimated $2 million project aims to return the home of Amhersts most famous resident more fully to the look and feel it had during the poets adult lifetime.

We see this as an opportunity, along with the renovations weve already made, to let visitors really see Emily Dickinson in her own landscape and her own time, said Jane Wald, the museums executive director.

Wald says the work on the Homestead, where Dickinson composed much of her poetry from the 1850s through the mid 1860s, is expected to start this spring and run through most of 2021. The museum, which includes the Homestead and the nearby house known as The Evergreens, the home of Dickinsons brother Austin and his family, has been closed since the pandemic arrived and will remain shut while the restoration work progresses, Wald said.

But when the museum reopens, hopefully, in March 2022, she added, visitors to the Homestead will be able to view about three times as much fully restored space as can currently be seen, and new details will be available for understanding Dickinsons daily life.

Funding for the work will come in part from an endowed $22 million fund the museum received a few years ago as part of a $25 million gift left to Amherst College, which owns the museum, from the late Amherst alum William McC. Vickery. The museum will also tap some other sources and do some fundraising for the new restorations, Wald noted.

Work is slated for a number of places in the Homestead, including hallways, parlor rooms, and whats known as the Northwest Chamber, a second-floor room adjacent to Dickinsons bedroom where her mother, Emily Norcross Dickinson, spent the last years of her life.

In all these spaces, period-style wallpaper that matches or closely resembles the original decor will be installed, and in some cases modern floorboards will be replaced, new paint schemes will be applied to some of the woodwork, and various period furnishings and decor will be put in place.

Many of those furnishings will be moved over from The Evergreens, where later generations of Dickinsons extended family had moved them from the Homestead in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Wald noted.

The parlors in particular will be decorated with wallpaper that Dickinsons niece described as white with large figures and a carpet woven with a great basket of flowers, from which roses were spilling all over the floor to a border of more flowers at the edge.

Wald said some of the wallpaper patterns, or fragments of them, were found amidst several old layers of wallpaper that were uncovered in these rooms and spaces. Working with architectural specialists and other consultants, she said, Weve been able to pinpoint which patterns would have been in use in the mid-19th century.

Some of the discoveries have been unearthed over time and others by accident; when a ceiling of one of the parlors collapsed in 2009, Wald related, museum staff were able to get a firsthand look at some of the original construction and decorative elements previously hidden.

Another key part of the upcoming work is bringing in 21st-century technology thats designed to preserve 19th-century history. New heating and cooling systems for the Homestead and The Evergreens will provide much better temperature and humidity control than the current systems, Wald said a key need considering the antique furnishings in the museum.

Though shes been disappointed the museum has been closed for in-person visits for so long, Wald said shes been excited to see people engaging with the historic center through a range of online programs the museum has developed, including virtual tours of the property. When the museum held its annual Tell itSlant Poetry Festival last fall online, We had people from 49 states and dozens of other countries participating, she said.

The upcoming restoration work is also coming amid continued interest in Dickinson in popular culture, Wald says. She points to the Apple TV+ series Dickinson, the connections between the poet and Taylor Swifts new album Evermore, and the philanthropy of MacKenzie Scott.

The famously reclusive poet has also received some renewed cachet during the pandemic. Shes been called The Queen of Quarantine, Wald said with a laugh. The poet has also been dubbed The Original Queen of Social Distancing.

Ideally the restoration work will bring an even greater level of understanding to the history of Dickinson, her family, her home and the details and circumstances of her daily life, Wald said: Were anxious to show that to visitors when we reopen. We think that can help make Amherst more of a cultural destination than ever.

There are tips you can keep in mind regardless if you're still dealing with freezing weather or if you're preparing for the next storm.

The south has experienced devastating winter storms this week and power outages caused by the storms have left people cold and in danger.

Much of the power has since been restored, but there are still places without any. Regardless, many places that are strangers to below freezing temperatures have yet to warm up.

And winter storms are still moving through the country as cold air remains. So people have been sharing tips to stay warm and keep safe across social media to help those who find themselves in tough spots.

But not all tips are safe.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a list of recommendations to follow during snow storms to stay safe indoors, and some of their tips include things to consider when losing power and heat.

Among the main guidelines, the website asks people to install a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector to protect yourself and your family from CO poisoning, although every home should be equipped with a working one already.

This is an important first step because many devices that might be useful to you in a winter power outage release carbon monoxide, which is both colorless and odorless. That includes generators, gas ovens or ranges, grills and cars. The CDC says dont run a car inside your garage, dont run a generator in your home or even next to a window, dont run a grill inside your home or garage, and dont run a gas oven or range without proper ventilation.

HEATING YOUR HOME

The CDC strongly cautions against using a gas stove or oven to heat a home because its unsafe. The CDC adds that fireplaces or wood stoves should only be used to heat a home if they are properly vented to the outside and dont leak gas from the flue or exhaust into the indoor air space.

As stated above, gas or charcoal grills shouldnt be used indoors. Neither should camp stoves.

If you must use a kerosene heater, make sure you have proper ventilation. The CDC also recommends to use the fuel designed for the heater, dont substitute it for something else.

In fact, electric portable space heaters are a good go-to when your home needs heat. The CDC stresses they should have automatic shut-off switches, non-glowing elements and are kept away from flammable materials.

Its best to keep them uncovered and at least three feet away from drapes, furniture, bedding or water. Dont leave them on top of furniture, dont leave children unattended near a space heater, avoid using extension cords if you have the option to plug it in and make sure the cord is not in a place where its a tripping hazard or has to run under a carpet or rug.

CONSERVING HEAT

Its also important to prevent heat from escaping, especially if your access to devices that can warm you up is limited.

Keep yourself bundled with layers. A winter storm power outage is the perfect time to bust out extra blankets, sleeping bags and winter coats.

You should avoid unnecessarily opening doors and windows. In fact, you can stuff towels and rags underneath doors to better prevent heat from escaping. You should also close off unneeded rooms so there is a smaller space to heat.

Also, be sure to close draperies or cover windows with blankets at night to keep the heat in.

WHAT ABOUT MY CAR?

Many people have used their cars for warmth and a recharge during these winter storms. Never leave the car on in your garage if you plan to use it.

But even if your car is outside, keep your stays in it limited. Running the heater for too long still poses the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The CDC suggests running the motor and heater of the car for 10 minutes per hour and opening one window slightly to let in air. It also says you should double-check to make sure the exhaust pipe of your car isnt blocked with snow. These tips are recommended for people stranded in their cars during a snowstorm to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, but its also good advice to follow if you feel forced to use your car for warmth.

North Dakotas winter storm information guide warns you shouldnt fall asleep with the heater running. It adds that your ventilating window should be on the upwind side of your car as a downwind open window could actually lead to exhaust blowing into your car. It also reminds you that car batteries are weaker in cold weather and repeatedly starting and stopping the engine will put stress on it and could repeatedly melt and refreeze snow over top of the engine. So keep in mind cold weather will pose risks to your car starting on top of the risks you may have of running out of fuel to keep it running.

HOW DO I MAKE SURE I CAN DRINK CLEAN WATER?

The CDC suggests that you dont thaw frozen pipes with a torch. Instead, thaw the pipes slowly with warm air and an electric hair dryer.

You can work to reduce the likelihood of pipes freezing in the first place by leaving all faucets and water taps slightly open so the water is dripping continuously. You can also let more heated air get to the pipes by leaving the cabinets under your sink open.

That might still not be enough and your pipes may freeze anyway. If that happens, the best thing to do is rely on bottled water or get water from a neighbor.

But if those arent options, or if your city is issuing a boil water advisory, youre going to have to get a bit more creative.

As an emergency measure, if no other water is available, snow can be melted for water, the CDC says. Bringing water to a rolling boil for one minute will kill most germs but wont get rid of chemicals sometimes found in snow.

When boiling water, the CDC suggests you keep it boiling for three minutes if your altitude is about 6,500 feet and you store in clear, sanitized containers after letting it cool. Note that the CDC mentions nothing about adding salt in the water to make it boil faster.

Thats because it doesnt actually help speed along the process much if at all. Several school science experiment guides describe that salt raises the boiling point of water while also making it less heat resistant. Ultimately, your water needs just as long to boil but is now saltier.

Thats not entirely a bad thing in very limited quantities; however, the CDC says you can improve the flat taste of boiled water by pouring it from one clean, disinfected container to another and then allowing it to stand for a few hours, OR by adding a pinch of salt for each quart or liter of boiled water.

Boiling water may be harder if you are also suffering from a power outage. If you have appliances off of the grid to boil it, keep in mind the above guidelines not to use those appliances inside the house. If you use candles, never leave them unattended.

You can also freeze water in a container before the storm hits. Not only will that help keep your fridge and freezer cold for longer if the power goes out, but the FDA says this also gives you access to clean water once you melt it if the local water supply is contaminated.

With temperatures set below zero for a few more days the American Red Cross has steps to help prevent frozen pipes and how to thaw them safely.

With a few more days of cold weather frozen water pipes can become a real problem and it is putting many homeowners at risk of damage to their home with burst pipes and flooding , said Brittney Rochell, regional communications director of the American Red Cross of Kansas and Oklahoma. The main thing to prevent water pipes from freezing is to keep them warm and we have easy tips do that along with how to safely thaw any frozen pipes in your home.

PROTECT PIPES FROM FREEZING IN YOUR HOME

Protect pipes from freezing by taking the following precautions:

Keep garage doors closed if there are water supply lines in the garage.

Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing. Be sure to move any harmful cleaners and household chemicals up out of the reach of children.

When the weather is very cold outside, let the cold water drip from the faucet served by exposed pipes. Running water through the pipe - even at a trickle - helps prevent pipes from freezing.

Keep the thermostat set to the same temperature both during the day and at night. By temporarily suspending the use of lower nighttime temperatures, you may incur a higher heating bill, but you can prevent a much more costly repair job if pipes freeze and burst.

If you will be going away during cold weather, leave the heat on in your home, set to a temperature no lower than 55 F.

See additional tips online.

HOW TO SAFELY THAW FROZEN PIPES

The following steps are suggested to help pipes thaw:

If you turn on a faucet and only a trickle comes out, suspect a frozen pipe. Likely places for frozen pipes include against exterior walls or where your water service enters your home through the foundation.

Keep the faucet open. As you treat the frozen pipe and the frozen area begins to melt, water will begin to flow through the frozen area. Running water through the pipe will help melt ice in the pipe.

Apply heat to the section of pipe using an electric heating pad wrapped around the pipe, an electric hair dryer, a portable space heater (kept away from flammable materials), or by wrapping pipes with towels soaked in hot water. Do not use a blowtorch, kerosene or propane heater, charcoal stove, or other open flame device.

Apply heat until full water pressure is restored. If you are unable to locate the frozen area, if the frozen area is not accessible, or if you cant thaw the pipe, call a licensed plumber.

Check all other faucets in your home to find out if you have additional frozen pipes. If one pipe freezes, others may freeze, too.

OTHER COLD WEATHER AND SAFETY TIPS

Assemble an emergency preparedness kit.Full details here.

Stay indoors and wear warm clothes. Layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing will keep you warmer than a bulky sweater. If you feel too warm, remove layers to avoid sweating; if you feel chilled, add layers.

Check on relatives, neighbors, and friends, particularly if they are elderly or if they live alone.

STAY SAFE OUTSIDE

If you must go outside, protect yourself from winter storm hazards:

Wear layered clothing, mittens or gloves, and a hat. Outer garments should be tightly woven and water repellent. Mittens or gloves and a hat will prevent the loss of body heat.

Cover your mouth to protect your lungs from severely cold air. Avoid taking deep breaths; minimize talking.

Watch for signs of hypothermia and frostbite.

Know the signs of hypothermia - confusion, dizziness, exhaustion and severe shivering. If someone has these symptoms, they should get immediate medical attention.

Watch for symptoms of frostbite including numbness, flushed gray, white, blue or yellow skin discoloration, numbness or waxy feeling skin.

Keep dry. Change wet clothing frequently to prevent a loss of body heat. Wet clothing loses much of its insulating value and transmits heat rapidly away from the body.

POWER OUTAGE TIPS

Sudden power outages can be frustrating, troublesome and even dangerous. If a power outage is two hours of less, you need not be concerned about the loss of perishable foods. However, for prolonged outages, there are steps you can take to keep all members of your household safe and comfortable (More home power outage safety tipshere):

Preserve perishable food items with ice in the cooler or refrigerator. Inexpensive Styrofoam coolers work well.

Put together a home emergency preparedness kit: water (one gallon per person per day), non-perishable food (three-day supply for evacuation, two-week supply for home), flashlight, battery-powered or hand-cranked radio (NOAA Weather Radio, if possible), extra batteries, first aid kit, medications, cell phone chargers, important health documents, family emergency contact information and some extra cash.

If someone at home is dependent on electric-powered life-sustaining equipment, remember to include back-up power in your evacuation plan.

Keep your cars gas tank full.

HEATYOUR HOME SAFELY

Its that time of year when many people resort to space heaters and other sources to keep their homes warm.To reduce the risk of heating related fires, the Red Cross recommends these steps (More home fire safety information availablehere):

All heaters need space. Keep children, pets and things that can burn (paper, matches, bedding, furniture, clothing, carpets, and rugs) at least three feet away from heating equipment.

If you must use a space heater, place it on a level, hard and nonflammable surface (such as ceramic tile floor), not on rugs, carpets or near bedding or drapes. Plug power cords directly into outlets - never into an extension cord.

Never leave a fire in the fireplace unattended and use a glass or metal fire screen to keep fire and embers in the fireplace.

Never use a cooking range or oven to heat your home.

Turn off portable space heaters every time you leave the room or go to sleep.

Winter driving tips

Here are several winter driving tips to help you safely navigate icy and snowy roads.

Wochit

Temperatures this brutally cold in Ohiocan cause water pipes to freeze, particularly pipes that lead to outdoor spigots or pipes in unheated spaces.

Pay particular attention to pipes on outside walls. Open the doors of under-sink cabinets to allow warm air inside, and turn faucets on just enough to produce a trickle of hot and cold water overnight. And just for these frigid nights, its a good idea not to turn the thermostat back at night as you usually do. The extra money youll pay for water and heat is far less than the cost of a plumbing repair.

Ohio weather: Here's a look at road conditions as snow moves in

Disconnect hoses from outdoor spigots so the freezing water in the hoses doesnt damage the plumbing when it expands. Turn on the spigots, and then go inside and shut off the water supply to them. You can do that by turning the valve on the supply line that leads to each spigot.

If a pipe bursts, immediately turn off the water, using the shutoff valve for the individual pipe or the houses main shutoff valve. Its found where the water supply enters the house, usually near the water meter.

The meter is usually along the basement wall nearest the street.

If you dont have a basement, the shutoff is probably near the water heater but might also be under a sink.

More: How much snow will Ohio get? A look at the winter storm forecast

If youre lucky enough to discover a frozen pipe before the pipe breaks, shut off the water first, just in case the pipe has already split and you dont know it. Then try thawing the frozen section by directing warm air from a hair dryer parallel to the area you suspect is frozen, or by pointing an infrared heat lamp or space heater at the section.

As a last resort, wrap rags around the pipe and pour on boiling water, but be prepared for a mess and slow results.

Heres how to stay safe during this cold snap:

Ohio weather: How to stop your pipes from freezing and tips on staying warm during a cold snap - Akron Beacon Journal

A Window Shop viewer sent us this week's challenge: It's often said that Miata is always the answer, but what if Miata isn't the answer? What would we buy instead? Contributor John Pearley Huffman had the exact same idea and deputy editor, host of this recorded Zoom call, and author of this sentence, Tony Quiroga decided that perhaps he could put the Window Shoppers to work to find him a replacement for his beloved 1995 Mazda Miata.

To tailor the task to himself, Quiroga set a $10,000 budget, requested cars that offer an interesting driving experience, low mileage, and Miata-like reliability (as if such a thing is possible). He also suggested that a manual gearbox and rear-drive would be preferred, but not mandatory, and opened the possibilities to cars and SUVs.

Huffman didn't pick a rear-drive car, but his second-gen Honda CRX nailed the fun-to-drive and reliability aspects. Unfortunately, his CRX suffered from some aggressively applied tire sheen and he also ran over the $10,000 budget. Contributor Jonathon Ramsey also picked a two seater, a high-revving Honda S2000 with nearly 200,000 miles, but the listing left too much to the imagination. Deputy testing director K.C. Colwell and senior editor Joey Capparella went outside the two-seater box entirely. Colwell went with an E39 BMW 528i manual and Capparella cleverly chose a 2002 Toyota Tacoma, which somehow meets all of this week's requirements.

If you make it to the end, you'll notice that we miscounted the votes and mistakenly thought there was a tie. There wasn't a tie. One vehicle emerges above the rest, but it really doesn't matter, because Quiroga was only interested in buying his choice.

While you may be a fan of home improvement in general, doing something about the aging windows is another matter. For the most part, they still work except for a few minor issues. Would it really be a good idea to look into the idea of new Vancouver windowsfor the home? Consider these benefits that come when you choose to arrange an update using the right type of new windows.

The Place Gets an Immediate Boost in Appearance

Its hard to appreciate the way that windows impact the look of a home until you invest in new windows. Even with great landscaping and a nice facade, older windows that are obviously past their prime will drag down the look of the entire place. By contrast, new windows will make the home look better than ever.

The real test is when you drive up after the new windows are in place. You can tell the house looks a lot better. This is reinforced when friends drop by, notice youve done something to the place, and remark how nice the house looks.

No More Drafts Around the Windows

During certain times of the year, you tend to avoid sitting or standing near a window. Why? Theres a noticeable draft. Even using different approaches to block the drafts are only partially successful. Its easier to close the drapes and stay away from the windows altogether.

Reclaim all of your space by investing in new windows. With better construction and more energy-efficient glass, its easier to leave the drapes open and enjoy the view. You can also pull up a chair and enjoy the sunset without getting chilly.

Lower Heating and Cooling Costs

With the drafts no longer a problem, youre in for another nice surprise. The homes heating and cooling unit doesnt run as often. Even so, the temperature and humidity level in the home is perfectly comfortable.

Things get even better when the utility bills arrive. Theyre lower than normal. Your lower energy costs are due to the superior construction of those new Canadian Choice Windowsand the features they offer. Think of what you can do with the money thats saved every month!

Improving the Homes Market Value

New windows are one more way to ensure the structure is sound. If you decide to sell the property in the next several years, you can bet that prospective buyers will check out the condition of the widows. When they see how well they operate, the fact that the sashes are snugly fitted into the frames, and that the glass is designed for energy efficiency, they have one more reason to put in a bid for the place.

See the windows as a way to be comfortable now and also to ensure you can get a good price for the property if you decide to sell. You may be amazed at how those windows make it to receive offers sooner rather than later.

If you need more reasons to move forward with a residential window replacement, talk with a contractor. Youll learn more about how they help with issue like noise reduction, ventilation, and even security. Once you know more about all the benefits, making the decision to replace those old windows will be easy.
