ANTELOPE (CBS13) Fire crews are putting out the remains of a fire that burned two mobile homes and two nearby sheds in Antelope.

The fire was still going at around 7:20 a.m. when our crews arrived at the fire on Doolittle Drive, just off of PFE Road.

Firefighters say the fire began behind one of the homes and quickly spread to the other structures. Three nearby homes on Winter Oak Way were evacuated as a precaution.

I just woke up, my mom freaked out, she woke me up and I went straight to the backyard and there was a huge black cloud, fire everywhere and I instantly called 911, said a resident.

Neighbors claim the person living at the home where the fire started is a hoarder; however, firefighters have not said whether the number of items in the home contributed to the blaze.

Officials are working to determine the exact cause of the fire.

Remodeling your home doesnt have to be a nightmare. So many San Diegans undergo successful remodeling projects without the typical brunt associated with losing precious rooms like your kitchen, bath or living room. Its actually easier than you think so long as you know the territory that comes with remodeling.

In addition to space issues, though, couples who undergo remodeling at home can typically unearth arguments once unknown. But it doesnt have to be that way. To survive and thrive throughout the remodeling process, heres what you can do to stay comfortable and live seamlessly not only at home, but with each other, too.

Cost of Remodel

Couples should agree to an expected budget with room for flexibility of up to 30 percent in both directions to avoid arguments later.

Choosing Styles

If one partner is staunchly Victorian while the other is purely post-modern, you can still find a happy medium by mixing styles for an eclectic, unique look. Compromising is essential when it comes to adopting a style you both enjoy.

Pre-Plan Details

Things like faucet choices or wallpaper can create arguments later, so decide on the details before the project begins. Choices can reduce disagreements. Its likely you can both find something you like by browsing options together.

Q: I want to install a new custom shower area with multiple shower heads, but I want to make it as water-efficient as possible. Any tips on how I can make my new multihead-shower stall a relaxing experience while still being environmentally friendly? -- Bill, Rhode Island

A: First off, check with your local plumbing inspector so you can follow your local water-usage codes. Some areas of the country put limits on the amount of fixtures you can install in one shower stall.

That said, here are three basic tips on how you can install a more efficient multihead-shower system:

1. Use higher-efficiency shower heads. Standard shower heads use 2.5 gallons per minute, while higher-efficiency heads use 1.75 gpm. Look for quality, higher-efficiency shower heads that are designed for maximum performance.

2. Add a recirculating hot-water pump. A plumber can install a recirculating hot-water system to provide faster hot water to your shower. This saves on wasted cold water while you wait for the shower to warm up.

3. Include a wall-mounted diverter valve. Adding a diverter control that only allows one shower head running at a time can give you all the features you want, without turning your shower stall into a mini-car wash!
