RECOMMENDED READING

Increasingly, home insurers like Chubb, Pure and AIG Private Client Group are playing a larger role in home repairs, reports The Wall Street Journal. As part of their due diligence, insurance companies are putting their risk-management specialists to work, having them evaluate clients properties and recommend and secure contractors to make upgrades. From installing app-controlled water and temperature sensors to alert homeowners of possible threats, to providing art preservationists who can develop escape plans for valuables, insurance companies are raising the bar for their wealthy clients.

In the late 19th century, France became a locus of Japonisme (the country's interpretation of Japanese aesthetics), which indelibly shaped all modern design henceforth, writes Nancy Hass in T: The New York Times Style Magazine. For more than 40 years, [Japonisme] inspired the furthest reaches of the design world: tea sets by Herms, silver and cloisonn centerpieces by Boucheron ... lacquer dressing screens by the Irish-born, Paris-based architect and designer Eileen Gray, jeweled brooches by Lucien Gaillard, glass by Ren Lalique, and wallpaper designed by the legendary art deco interior designer mile-Jacques Ruhlmann.

In a new series from The Wall Street Journal titled Thats Debatable, the publication tackles a gamut of issues, from scented moisturizers to Color of the Year trend announcements.

A LIMERICK interior designer is set to take the limelight as a new judge on the RT show Home of the Year.

Suzie McAdam, born and bred in Castletroy, is one of two new judges on RT favourite Home of the Year

After spending her secondary school years studying in the Crescent Comprehensive, Suzie moved to Dublin in 2005 to chase a career in architecture.

However, Suzies natural talent in art and her creative streak, made her turn more towards interior design: I moved away from architecture as I realised I was really drawn to colours and textures and the internals of the building appealed to me more than the building itself.

From there, Suzie has built a successful business in Dublin. Then, in the summer of 2020, she was contacted by RT to take part in this years Home of the Year. She was a bit apprehensive at first as she had just given birth to a baby in the springtime, but the opportunity beckoned her and she couldnt say no: I was a big fan of the show, Ive been watching it for years. I love seeing peoples homes, as it is what I do in a way," she told the Leader.

This years show has homes from all over the country, and Suzie says the standard is impeccably high: "I was really impressed with the level people had gone to. Ireland is not really known for its interior design but I definitely think were packing a punch when it comes to style, influences and creativity.

Suzie says the show had set criteria when it came to judging. The homes had to have a clever design, creativity and functionality. Suzie had to push her own stylistic choices aside and bring a fresh set of eyes to the judging panel. However, the main thing Suzie looked for in the homes was individuality: Homes should reflect who we are and what we love.

Suzie got the chance to travel to Limerick to judge a house for the show and said she welcomed the trip home to see her family.

I really miss Limerick actually, particularly the people. There is a humour in Limerick that is so distinctive. You dont get it anywhere else, not even in Galway or Clare. They have a kind of friendliness that isnt too much, it's got a perfect balance of wit, humour and kindness.

Suzie gave a last piece of advice for budding home decorators in Limerick as well, the most important thing, I think, is to be brave. Interior design is a medium that allows you to make bold and bright choices. You dont need to be afraid of beautiful things. You can make mistakes, you can always repaint something, I think its always better to experiment.

You can catch Suzie on Home of the Year with the first episode airing on RT One television at 8.30pm this Tuesday.

Home Design

The modified Greek Revival farmhouse is the brainchild of architect Zoe McManus and interior designer Holly Gagne.

The Barretts wouldnt be that family. The one that demolishes a long-standing house on a sleepy street to erect an out-of-character replacement that would make the neighbors groan. Although Renee and Jeff Barrett favor a contemporary aestheticthe empty-nesters raised their three kids in a midcentury-modern home in Concordthey were too sensitive to make that mistake. We like design and wanted to have fun, but the neighborhood couldnt support contemporary, Renee says.

Instead, they hired architect Zoe McManus and interior designer Holly Gagne to conceive an airy interior within a traditional shell. The new dwelling supplanted a tired house just a block from the harbor on Rocky Neck in Gloucester, an area the couple love as much for its proximity to the water as for its funky, art-colony vibe. McManus designed a modified Greek Revival farmhouse with a wraparound porch that adheres closely to the original buildings footprint. It was a three-dimensional chess game, McManus says. Still, she successfully incorporated three bedrooms, a mudroom, and an office into 2,310 square feet.

The result is anything but constrained. The open floor plan flows from the entry, around the central stair, and into the kitchen and living area. They wanted all the rooms to relate to each other and feel as big as possible, McManus says. Even Renees office feels a part of the action thanks to its transparent barn door. The glass provides privacy without isolation and doesnt interrupt the natural light. Overall, the house lives large. Were a tall family and we feel comfortable in every room, Renee says.

The design also makes the most of the seaside locale. Windows catch snippets of water views between surrounding homes without staring at their faades straight on. The kitchens back wall is solid to avoid an eyeful of shingle, while the office and the dining nook are located in windowed corners with less cluttered sightlines. You get the ambiance of Rocky Neck, McManus says. The colors and materials used throughout the home enhance this coastal flavor. The scheme is inspired by the oceans many shades of gray, blue, and green, Renee says. I saw an article recently that said gray is out. Well, it isnt if you look out our windows.

Taking cues from the organic theme and Jeffs interest in woodworking, the couple chose character-grade, quarter-sawn oak floorboards from a mill in Vermont. Richly stained, rift-sawn oak cabinetry in the kitchen plays off the floors and grounds the space. The dark color provides contrast and depth, but doesnt feel heavy since there arent any uppers, Gagne says, referencing the single stretch of shelving on either side of the minimalist stainless steel hood.

A family trip to Italy during the design process informed the backsplash itself. Renee was inspired by the tactile quality of Italian tiles and marbles, which led to the taupe-y gray, hand-glazed terracotta tiles, Gagne says. Renee confides she initially envisioned much more colorful specimens, but that Gagne gently steered her toward neutrals. I enjoy that tile every day, the homeowner says. The beauty lies in its imperfections.

Gagne went neutral with the cushions on the adjacent banquette, too, so that Renee could showcase her collection of colorful pillows made from global textiles. The team commissioned local woodworker Andy Tolliver to craft the dining table using two slabs of Japanese elm connected by a river of dark blue epoxy. The family eats here and also uses the area for working and hanging out. Pre-COVID, neighbors climbed in to talk and drink wine; it was like the old-fashioned kitchen table, Renee says.

The living area, just beyond the dining nook, is outfitted with a comfy sectional for lounging. The wood stove, a must-have for Jeff, is the focal point. Gagne balanced the off-center stove with the wall-hung television and a cantilevered shelf. It looks so simple and obvious now, but we went through so many permutations, Renee says about the arrangement. A sitting room with a more symmetrical setup that boasts four fuzzy chairs around a rattan table occupies a niche behind the sectional. While theres no wall between the two spaces, the sitting room feels private. Its all about being cozy, Gagne says.

For true privacy, the couple retire to their bedroom upstairs. Gagne designed built-ins for efficiency and combined elegant marble surfaces with splashes of blue in the en suite bath. The punch of color is coastal but not cute, she says. The hall bath follows suit with a vanity painted green.

The family, who sheltered together in their new home last spring, are delighted with it, as are the neighbors. The prior owners daughter stopped by to see the house and loved it, Renee says. Thats a big compliment.

SLINGERLANDS I love hearing the expectation in a clients voice as they talk about the home they love, said Guinevere Gorman, owner at Grace Roofing. It is rewarding, fusing the age and style of a house with the right roof product and color. It is important that it complements the overall design and feel of the house all while protecting their real estate investment with a transferable warranty.

An influence in Gormans artistry is that she has traveled and experienced different cultures throughout the world. She sees hints of those countries in the architecture, period and even neighborhoods of the greater Bethlehem area. Travel experience notwithstanding, she is still very much a local, as is her husband Nigel, who leads rigorous and detailed installs for each project.

The connections you have with clients who have grown up in the same area makes the outcome a shared victory, she said. And this year we had the privilege of doing two roofs that were part of my childhood: Indian Ladder Farms Original Farmhouse and Howes Caverns Lobby Roof.

We were also excited when asked to plan and install roofing for existing clients vacation homes in places like Lake Placid and Paradox Lake. The bonus being that our crews worked along stunning views of the water!

To put even more light on the subject, Guinevere and Nigel specialize in skylight design, preparation and installation so that northern-climate houses can still invite a bit of Mother Natures illumination into their homes throughout the longest of wintersand even through 2020!

Grace Roofing crews specialize in metal and shingle installs and are also adept with specialty styles such as Synthetic Slate, Spanish Barrel Tiles and Cedar Shakes.

As reports grew of buildings collapsing Tuesday, Terry Czerniejewski stood by his garage in Belmont Cragin holding two poles strung together with a 12-inch long wooden plank attached to the end of one of them.

The makeshift tool was necessary after yet another snowstorm blanketed the area, forcing residents to get creative to protect their property.

There is probably a couple thousand pounds of weight sitting on it right now, Czerniejewski said of his roof. Its a lot of weight and I dont want it to cave in.

That already was the fate of a handful of buildings in the Chicago area, including a vacant building near 75th Street and Ridgeland Avenue, which collapsed Tuesday evening. Earlier in the day in Brainerd on the South Side, a man watched as an abandoned building in the 700 block of West 91st Street caved in.

Firefighters also discovered a collapsed building while driving in the South Chicago neighborhood. A roof also buckled at a Morton Grove equestrian center Tuesday afternoon. No one was hurt in any of these incidents, but a few cars were damaged by the falling debris, officials said.

That follows a roof that collapsed in Englewood on Sunday and two in Elgin that caved in last week.

Almost all of the buildings that collapsed were large facilities that were vacant or abandoned and had a bowstring truss roof system, with an arched roof but without traditional support columns, officials said.

Larry Merritt, a spokesman for the Chicago Fire Department said, the system has trouble holding heavy loads for a long period of time, especially in buildings that are dilapidated or vacant.

Moisture from snow piled up along the perimeter can seep into brickwork when the snow melts. Then the water will expand when it turns to ice, pushing the bricks outward leading to what is called a pancake collapse.

If the building is occupied that helps melt the ice because of the heat generated inside, which stops freezing, Merritt said. When its not then the ice will continue to expand.

But owners of buildings with all types of roofs should be concerned about a range of potential damage after a heavy snowstorm, said Robert Ely, co-owner of Chicago Roofing Services Inc. in Logan Square.

The freeze-thaw cycle is what causes the most damage to roofs because on days like this the sun is out and you will begin seeing a little bit of melting, Ely said. Then at night, when the temperature drops again, the water that is trapped will begin freezing and turning into ice.

Its my experience that this is what does the most damage to roofs and gutters besides the snow, Ely said.

Anytime a roof has been hit with more than eight inches of snow you should consider hiring a professional to remove it by applying heat, Ely said.

That can cost as much as $1,000 or more, depending on the roofs size, he said.

Its a dangerous job and extremely time consuming like my guys will take about eight hours to safely remove snow and ice from a roof, Ely said. More importantly, people must do preventative measures like annual inspections or adding heating coils to the perimeter of the building for extra protection.

Czerniejewski, though, planned to take matters into his own hands, although he said he had no intentions of climbing his roof to remove the snow. He planned to scrape off as much snow as possible with his makeshift tool then head inside for a warm drink.

Roofing is a dangerous job often done in extreme weather conditions. You need specialist equipment, experience and knowledge to work in roofing. A pair of good quality roofing shoes can prevent fatal injuries and keep you comfortable during a hard days work.

There are countless roofing shoes on the market. Here a few things to consider before investing in a pair.

Traction

After you have stripped the roof, it will be smooth and covered in debris. A whopping40% of construction fatalities occur from slipping. Choose a pair of shoes with an aggressive tread design to combat the wet slippery surface. Avoid anything with deep lugs or cut-outs to maximise your soles contact with the roof.

Comfort

The last thing you want after a long day on the roof are blisters and sore feet. It would help if you had a pair of shoes that are comfortable, lightweight and flexible so you can manoeuvre easily. If you have flatter feet, consider getting a pair with arch support. Or, you can buy separate orthotic arches to slot into your shoes. Make sure your shoes fit snuggly and arent slipping off before getting on the roof.

Durability

Leather is the best option when it comes to roofing shoes. Leather can withstand asphalt shingles, tar and the elements. It canlast at least four to five monthsin extreme conditions. Although budget options are tempting,high-quality roofing shoeswill keep you safer for longer.

Waterproof

If it is wet or icy, it is best to avoid roofing altogether. However, if you have to work in damp conditions, you will need waterproof shoes. These also come in handy during flash showers and muddy work conditions. Dry feet are happy feet.

Shock resistant

Even if you think you are safe, the chances are there are some electrical hazards around you. Live wires and transformers are common on building sites. Did you know10% of roofing fatalities occur from electrocution? Opt for shoes with a thick rubber sole to keep you grounded and protected from the flow of electricity.

Smart lacing

Although slip-on boots may feel more comfortable to get on in the morning, they arent as flexible and snug-fitting. Lace-up boots adjust to your feet and keep your ankles secure from injury. Make sure your lacing is tied perfectly before climbing up to the roof. Its also best to invest in a lacing system that begins at the top of your foot, extending to the tongue.
