The Vernon County Boards building and facilities committee received an update on the progress of the Veterans Service Office (VSO) remodeling project, last Thursday.

Highway commissioner Phil Hewitt said the contractor, Joel Dewitt, whom the committee approved in November to remodel the lower level of the Banta Building for the VSO, is bringing his tools in. All the licenses and permits are in order, Hewitt said, and that the contractor told Hewitt he would be on schedule for the remodel.

Hes got three months, county board supervisor and committee chair Jerry Cade said.

Dewitts bid for the remodel was $84,400.

Fire protection lights need fixing

Hewitt informed the committee that the flashing strobe lights in the courthouse, which go off in the case of the fire, are not working.

The wiring is too light to handle it and the panel that controls it, thats too light; its not wired heavy enough, Hewitt said.

Hewitt didnt have a number of how much it was going to cost to repair, but said he would let the committee know if the expense was astronomical.

Cade asked if the county would need to change the breaker box as well.

Hewitt said the way he understood it, only the breakers needed replacing.

Republic West Remodeling, a Phoenix home remodeling company features a patriotic red, white and blue themed kitchen

Scottsdale, Arizona (PRWEB) January 03, 2013

Republic West Remodeling was selected over five other Valley contractors for the project. The scope of work involved custom cabinetry, improved functionality, custom backsplashes, a new ceiling, an added island, new paint and other enhancements. The overall design theme involved a red, white and blue Americana look.

I knew how I wanted the kitchen to look. shared Debbie Hamersly, I had the design in my head; I just didnt how to make it happen. Republic West Remodeling made it simple for mefrom choosing the paint color and approving the sample doors / drawers, making decisions regarding backsplash, to locating custom glass. Republic West Remodeling made my dream kitchen a reality.

The homeowner also had very specific requirements for the custom cabinetry. The cabinets had to provide the function of a modern kitchen, but have an aged appearance. Using the red, white and blue custom colors, the finish had to be from the early colonial period with worm holed, scratched and rubbed finishes to give the desired patriotic design.

To further enhance the look of an aged cabinet, Republic West Remodeling contacted the cabinet manufacturer and convinced them to increase the amount of rubbing and scratching. The cabinet glass, not previously seen used in kitchens before, was custom-made with chicken wire encased in it. Two different types of backsplashes were installed: one using old tin and one using an antique spotted mirror.

We take building our clients dreams very seriously, said Jim Weisman, owner of Republic West Remodeling, a leading Phoenix home remodeling company. We have a one of a kind design-build process to make sure that clients achieve their dreams on time and on budget. This was a unique project that we loved making a reality for Debbie.

"We are ardent believers in the work being done by the Children's Support League of the East Bay.

The organization has been in operation for 25 years and has contributed more than $2.9 million to non-profit agencies over its long history.

The league's primary source of fundraising is the Heart of the Home Tour that takes place in April each year. Last year's home tour raised $205,000.

Members of the Rancho Family YMCA might have noticed a little drywall dust around recently.

The YMCA has been undergoing numerous changes and remodeling, adding new exercise equipment, redoing the pool and expanding the Child Lodge.

Mark Thompson

The remodel is to enhance the health and wellness experience for our members, said Mark Thompson, who joined the Rancho Family YMCA as executive director in July, after 20 years of working with various YMCAs, including being the executive manager of Camp Surf for 15 years.

People are asking for high-tech, cutting-edge equipment and classes, said Thompson. Our focus is to serve more people and enhance the wellness of the community, as well as making the YMCA more of a family affair. Your community is stronger and better when you have people who are well.

The Wellness Center has been completely redone, with new, state-of-the-art cardio equipment from Precor with high-definition televisions, and Internet access for members beginning in January. It creates an Internet profile that looks at the users whole health and wellness, said Thompson.

The Aquatics Center, which is currently closed and will reopen Monday, Jan. 14, is also getting a facelift, with the pool being resurfaced and LED lighting being installed for a more contemporary look. General maintenance is also being performed on the Aquatics Center.

Rancho Family YMCAs Program Center is also getting a major overhaul, with a new indoor studio space being added, which will allow the YMCA to offer more cutting-edge classes, including indoor cycling with brand-new Kaiser bikes, Zumba, yoga and more. The Program Centers remodel will continue past January.

Finally, the Child Lodge, which provides childcare for up to two hours for parents who want to work out, is being expanded, something that Thompson hoped would be finished by the end of January.

Twin Falls, Idaho (KMVT-TV / KTWT-TV) Work crews started cleaning up some asbestos in the old Swensens Market in Burley today. That's in preparation for the old grocery store to be remodeled into a judicial center.

There's been plenty of talk and preparation, and now work has finally begun on the Cassia County Judicial Center. Starr Corporation won the low bid of just over $1.8 million for the project. But before they can get started, work crews need to get the lead and asbestos out of the building.

Cassia County Administrator Kerry McMurray says, "There was a small amount of some lead-based paint, some tile and mastic, which is the glue that holds the tile down, that has some asbestos in it, that needs to be removed."

McMurray says the removal should only take a couple of days. He says Cassia County is hammering out the very last details of the contract with Starr Corporation, which he says are related to insurance and bonding for the project.

McMurray says, "It's a 210 day construction period, so from the time that we give Starr Corporation the notice to proceed, which we'll be pretty close to the same day the agreement is signed, 210 days to complete the project."

That translates to about seven months. So if all goes well, the renovation could be finished sometime in August. In the meantime, McMurray says it shouldn't take long at all to work out the contract details before the Cassia County Commissioners meet again next Monday, January 7th.

McMurray says the planning process has gone very smoothly, and Cassia County is excited to see the remodeling officially begin.
