Little Falls school superintendent outlines planned facility upgrades - February 19, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

Little Falls - School district superintendent William Petrick explained to the board of education upgrades that will be made to each of the three schools at the Feb. 11 meeting.

In School #1 improvements will be made on electrical distribution and upgrades, installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) toilets, unit ventilator replacement, control advancements, and a window and door replacement.

Window, door, boiler and unit ventilator replacements will be made at School #2 along with electrical upgrades.

At School #3 improvements will be made on electrical and HVAC upgrades, and an exterior door and roof replacement.

With the school accepting state grants for each project, which represents 40 percent of the funding, the district will have to come up with the remaining 60. For example, the total cost for the electrical upgrade at School #1 is $500,000, but with the ROD Grants the state will pay 40 percent or $200,000.

Petrick emphasized that some of these projects are necessary such as the leaky roof in School #3 and a boiler replacement at School #2.

Board member John Groh raised the question on why the district is accepting new request for proposals (RFP) on projects that DiCara Rubino architects quoted earlier this year and why they aren't doing the actual work. Petrick noted that it is not necessarily true that the architect who prepares the application for the ROD Grants is awarded the projects. The purpose of the RFP's is that new architects can bid on the job, but "must stay in the range of price projected."

Petrick also told the board that the second grade field trip to Flat Rock Brook Nature Center on May 13 and 14 will cost $21 per child, but that the Parent Teacher Association will offset the cost by $10 per student.

During the new business portion, trustee Michael O'Connor wanted to state publicly that the custodians did a great job of maintaining school grounds during the winter storms.

The next school board meeting is Feb. 25, 7:30 p.m., at School #3.

Fortune Brands Windows & Doors Added 470 Jobs in 2013 - February 19, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) February 19, 2014

Fortune Brands Windows & Doors, which includes Therma-Tru Corp., Simonton Windows and Fypon, added 470 new jobs in 2013. The job increases come as a result of increased sales of door, window and trim products for both new construction and "repair and remodel" markets in 2013.

"Our window and door segment sales increased 12 percent for the full year of 2013," says Mark Savan, president of the windows and doors business unit owned by Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS). "Window and door segment operating profit more than tripled to $15.8 million in 2013. Our growth allowed us to fill 470 positions to support the increase in business."

Parent company, Fortune Brands Home & Security, sees ongoing signs of strength in the overall home products market in 2014 as noted in its year-end earnings reported on January 29, 2014. The demand for new construction is outstripping supply in many markets across the country and developers are preparing for significant growth in 2014 and beyond. More importantly, for repair and remodel, which is around 65 percent of the company's overall mix, there is expected continuation of the strong growth seen in the Fall 2013 season. Notably, there is strength building in bigger ticket semi-custom and custom cabinets and replacement windows.

Savan points out that products from Therma-Tru, Simonton Windows and Fypon also received strong interest from attendees of the recent 2014 NAHB International Builders Show.

"Every new product option being introduced by our companies in 2014 positively impacts builders and remodelers working to meet consumer demands in the marketplace," says Savan. "Our door, window and trim products all offer uncompromising quality, aesthetic beauty and solid return-on-investment for both industry professionals and consumers."
