A major remodeling initiative at the Marshall County Historical Society Museum, 202 E. Church St. is nearly complete.

"Big changes," is how HSMC volunteer Scott Mason of Marshalltown fittingly described the effort requiring 2.5 months of work while he looked over new lighting and exhibits on the museum's second floor Wednesday, all done

to better communicate the county's rich history to visitors.

T-R PHOTO BY MIKE DONAHEY Civil War era chairs from Marshalltowns Susie Sower Historical Homestead are shown Wednesday at the Historical Society of Marshall County Museum, 202 E. Church St. The chairs will be part of an exhibit in a room exclusively devoted to Marshall County Civil War artifacts. Work in the room is in progress, and is part of a major remodeling project nearing completion at the museum. The Sower Homestead, 201 E. State St. , is part of the HSMC complex.

New carpeting, wall coverings, remodeling of exhibit areas, and an interactive map display are just a few of the improvements.

Juli Hinson, administration, said not all work is done, but workers and volunteers are targeting April 30 to finish.

It is the first major remodeling undertaken at the museum in five years, according to Mason.

One key improvement delighted volunteer Susan Williams.

A room, when finished, has been dedicated to portray the role Marshall County women played in the county's development.

"Not enough has been said or recorded about the important role women had in county history," Williams said. "Women helped build this town and county."

MATTOON The owners of the McDonalds location in front of the Mattoon Walmart plan to bring a fresh, modern look to this restaurant with a remodeling project that is underway.

Several Baltimore-area workers have lost their jobs after a home remodeling company abruptly shut down.

Welsh Construction Remodeling company workers didn't expect that they'd be leaving their jobs for the last time on Thursday, but that's exactly what happened.

The Welsh website described the company as "one of the oldest and most well respected remodeling companies" in the Baltimore area that had been in business for more than 50 years. The website was abruptly taken down Thursday.

Adrian Rowe worked for the home remodeling company for 18 years.

"They just laid us off. They just laid us off," he said.

Rowe said he and his co-workers reported to work as normal when the owner broke surprising news.

"We really weren't told too much. He basically showed up, had a meeting and he told us it was over," Rowe said. "They told us that the business is shutting down, he accounts are frozen. That's basically what we got."

The well-known company has been around since 1961. Joseph Meyerhoff II bought the business two years ago, changing the name from Welsh Construction Remodeling Co. to Welsh Construction Remodeling LLC.

Meyerhoff did not return numerous calls from 11 News placed Thursday and Friday seeking comment.

A second long-time employee contacted 11 News by phone, saying there was no warning of a shut down and claiming that the company had $2.1 million in remodeling projects in progress.

Home remodeling, one of the biggest industries in the country, is being transformed by the Internet with a push from a fast-growing startup in Silicon Valley.

Until recently, a homeowner thinking about remodeling would have checked out books from the library, read some design magazines, asked friends for advice and tried to find help on the Web.

But in January, 14 million people turned instead to Houzz, a small Palo Alto, Calif., company that has grabbed the $300 billion remodeling industry by the tail and is changing the way homeowners connect with design professionals and figure out how they want to improve their homes. And it's taking off just as the housing market is rebounding and giving homeowners more equity to play with.

It's the latest example of the way the Internet has disrupted an entire industry, having already transformed everything from publishing to entertainment. But this is with a twist: Rather than hurting established players in the remodeling business, sites like Houzz are likely to benefit them by bringing them more business more efficiently.

"Houzz has had a huge impact in the residential design community," said Mark Demerly, an Indianapolis architect and recently chairman of the American Institute of Architects' custom residential network. "We ask our clients to seek out things on it they like and that inspire them."

Created four years ago by Alon Cohen and Adi Tatarko, who were remodeling their Palo Alto home, the home-improvement site quickly caught on across the U.S. and in Canada.

"Clipping things out of design magazines seemed so antiquated," Cohen recently recalled. "Today everything is online. We thought, 'There's got to be a better way to do this.' "

Houzz's iPad and iPhone apps have been downloaded 6 million times. It has 14 million visitors a month - up from 1.3 million downloads and 4 million visitors a year ago - who pore over 1.2 million images of remodeling projects with links to 188,000 architects, designers and other professionals. In a little more than two years, it has drawn $48.6 million in three rounds of venture funding.

The revenue comes from advertising by national brands and a professional subscription package launched a few months ago.

Now competition is emerging. Last month, the Seattle-based home-valuation site Zillow introduced Zillow Digs, a similar service. Zillow spokeswoman Cynthia Nowak said it's "a huge market," citing a study that found that nearly 25 percent of recent homeowners completed a kitchen or bathroom remodeling project last year.
