ALGONQUIN A group of property owners who have land along Algonquin Road want to tear down three buildings which are in the Old Town District.

The village board is scheduled to vote Tuesday on the request to tear down two commercial buildings and a garage at 107-111 W. Algonquin Road.

In December, the village's Historic Commission voted to deny the petition to demolish the buildings. The commission cited the historical significance of the buildings.

All three of the buildings are in "very poor" condition, and have numerous building code violations, according to village documents.

The siding, trim, windows and railings among other things all need repair or replacement. The inside has mold in the basement and roof leaks. The village has cited the property for numerous code violations and levied fines through the administrative adjudication process.

"Ultimately however, village staff cannot physically do maintenance and repair improvements for a property owner, and so this property has continued to have a blighting effect on downtown and continues to consume substantial staff time and resources," according to a memo written by Russell Farnum.

The building also has many structural problems and there are leaky pipes and cracks in the foundation. Repairs to the buildings could cost $100,000, according to village documents.

"Improving the structures from their current condition to be viable for business use would be very costly and it would still likely be a challenge to attract tenants given the abundance of existing commercial space downtown," Farnum wrote.

Facade changes to the properties have taken place over the course of time, and have no architectural significance, village documents say.

There are no plans for the site other than to remove the buildings and sod/seed the property. Any plan for site redevelopment would need Village Board approval.

Since late last year, Boeing 787 Dreamliner fuselage sections from North Charleston, S.C., have arrived at the Everett final assembly line seriously incomplete with wiring and hydraulics lines missing, according to multiple sources in the factory.

The poorly done work out of Charleston threatens to undermine the companys plans to deliver 10 Dreamliners a month and fulfill the much-delayed jet programs original promise.

Its snowballing. The planes are getting worse out of Charleston, said one senior Everett employee who oversees the production status of the airplanes.

Another Everett employee, a quality inspector, said the work out of Charleston had been very slowly getting better until late last year, but that now the curve has gone the other way, big time.

An engineer in Boeings South Carolina complex said mechanics there have been falling farther and farther behind since last fall, but management has insisted on sending unfinished planes to Everett to keep to the planned rate.

In a written response to inquiries, Boeing said its plan of rolling 10 Dreamliners per month off its assembly lines is on track.

While we have some challenges to address, we see no risk to the program, Boeing said. Right now, Boeing South Carolina is making its rate commitments.

However, with the planes rolling out of the assembly bays needing more fixes out on the flight line, it could be a while before Boeing actually delivers 10 jets per month.

Cold winter weather is not only uncomfortable; it can be expensive trying to keep your home warm. Going Green's Terry Ettinger explains how to properly insulate your home.

One way to make sure youre not spending more than you have to is by taking advantage of the wide variety of home winterization products like these window kits.

So that way its a film over the window and what that film does is it prevents heat from escaping and the cold getting in, said James Gardner, a Lowes assistant store manager.

Theres also caulk rope you can use and basically this goes around the edge of doors and windows and that way youre not losing heat through spaces where you might have gaps, Gardner said. Theres also door sweeps. The door sweeps will keep the wind from coming in under the door. That way youre not losing heat or energy out that door.

Theres heat tape and insulation that can be used to wrap around pipes so they dont freeze, and you might want to consider putting a blanket on your hot water heater.

A lot of people dont realize that with a water heater sometimes youre losing heat and energy out of the water heater, especially if its in a basement thats unfinished. You put a blanket around it and keep that heat inside so it isnt kicking on constantly and wasting energy, Gardner said.

And for those interested in the latest technology.

We also have a system thats called Iris. Iris has what they call a home and comfort system and that home and comfort system allows you to control your heat from an iPhone or a tablet or any kind of smart phone, Garder said.
