Siwek Lumber is ready to help with any of your winter projects, from furniture making to remodeling.
I feel like the coronavirus pandemic has put most of us into one of two categories: There are those of us whose quarantine-induced boredom has led to a new dramatic haircut, maybe some temporary hair dye, or a new piercing. And then there are those of us who have deemed quarantine the ideal time for a drastic life change, from adopting a new pet to remodeling the entire house.
Whether youre rockin some newly purpled hair, or youre sitting in a completely torn-up kitchen, wondering at what point the remodel went from buying some new plants to redoing your flooringthe pandemic has offered a fresh start in many ways. So whatever it is that quarantine has given you the gall to try, go for it! And if its something as life-altering as a home remodel, Siwek Lumber can help with that.
During the Great Depression in 1933, Joseph and Frances Siwek began what is now Siwek Lumber & Millwork, Inc. Though unemployment was at an all-time high, the couple decided to take a gamble and start a new business.
Siwek Lumber is a retail lumberyard, millwork center, custom shop, and a hardware store that serves everyoneincluding homeowners, craftspeople, artists, woodworkers, manufacturers, business owners, hobbyists, crafters, and the DIY crowd.
Our custom millwork shop recreates old wood storms, screens, sash, mouldings, and doors, says Siwek Lumber owner Tom Siwek. Our winter projects include furniture making, interior remodeling, interior doors and trim, planning for outdoor projects and summer projects, and more.
Siwek says folks often think that working outside isnt possible in cold months, but he wants customers to know that there are many working days through the winter.
Winter is a great time to work in the garage or basement shop on hobby projects youve put off for years! Woodworking is something anyone can do and succeed at, Siwek says. Desks, tables, bedframes, dressers, and more. The biggest tip I have is to make sure it fits up the basement stairs after building!
To accommodate customers while still taking necessary COVID-19 precautions, Siwek Lumber has installed social distancing counters that are six feet deep, and theyve also widened the main aisles in the outdoor sheds and warehouses for easy navigation and social distancing. There are also sanitization and cleaning procedures in place to ensure the space is clean for customers.
We are an amazing asset with a huge variety of building materials with expert help and ease of shopping, Siwek adds.
If a hair cut isnt enough change for you these days, maybe a new statement piece of furniture will do the trick. Its worth a shot!

Renovations to your Washington, DC home can be costly and take up a lot of your time. This is why it's important to plan renos that increase the comfort of your home while at the same time increasing the house's value.
Whether you're getting ready to sell or plan on living in your home for another ten years, it pays to do smart renovations and upgrades. But where do you start? Focus on these areas when you're planning to remodel:

To increase home resale value call a HomeAdvisor remodel contractor in Washington, DC.
2. Increase Interior Space to Add Value
Expanding usable living space is a good way to boost the value of your home. You can add space by finishing the basement to use as a family or fitness room, playroom for the kids, or as an office.
3. Refinish Wood Flooring
Today's flooring trend is all about wood. But if you don't take care of your wood floors they can make your home look out of date and uncared for. Refinishing your wood flooring is an easy way to brighten up your home and add value. For this project, consider hiring an experienced professional to do the job right. You can expect to pay around $1,800 to hire a flooring contractor.
4. Give Kitchen Cabinets a Makeover
If a full remodel isn't in your budget, you can still give your kitchen a makeover by refacing the cabinets. Using the existing cabinets and frame, doors and drawers can be updated without being replaced. For an average cost of about $7,400 your kitchen can go from boring to an exciting new look that appeals to buyers.
5. Add a Fireplace
A smart remodel is to add a fireplace to your home. When you put your home on the market, prospective buyers will love the charm and warmth that a fireplace adds to any room. Depending on the size and style of fireplace you want, expect to pay around $2,100 for this home addition.
It's easy to boost the resale value of your home with smart projects. For help call a HomeAdvisor remodeling contractor in Washington, DC.

Hartford, Tolland, Windham and New London Counties are currently experiencing conditions consistent with a Stage 3 or "Moderate" drought. The State has received increasing reports of low water levels in private wells, streams, agricultural water supplies and fire suppression ponds in the Stage 3 counties, particularly in eastern Connecticut. Conditions can vary locally within the Stage 3 area. In order to avoid further stress on the water supply and to reduce the potential for other threats that commonly occur as the result of a drought, residents and businesses in Stage 3 counties are being asked to voluntarily take the following measures:
In the event that drought conditions continue to worsen, the State is prepared to implement targeted emergency response procedures in effected areas. We will continue to provide updates as they become available. For more information visit http://www.ct.gov/waterstatus.

Is using your kitchen table as an office-slash-kids-classroom making you long to upgrade your home?
Sixty-one percent of American homeowners have taken on home improvement projects since March 1, 2020, according to NerdWallets 2020 Home Improvement Report.
But before you can join them, youll have to decide how to finance your project.
Refinancing with a renovation loan is a way to borrow money for home improvements at a lower interest rate than personal loans or credit cards.
And instead of paying back a separate loan, the costs of your updates are rolled into your new mortgage payment.
Here are three reasons to consider refinancing with a renovation loan.
With mortgage rates falling throughout 2020, the number of mortgage refinances has skyrocketed.
With a renovation refinance, improvement costs become part of your new mortgage amount. While it may not compare to a credit card with a 0% introductory APR, a renovation refinance gives you a higher borrowing limit. And youll pay much less interest than you would on a personal loan for the same amount of money.
Though the spring homebuying season got off to a slow start due to the coronavirus, real estate markets throughout the country have since heated up.
According to the National Association of Realtors, 69% of homes sold in August were on the market for less than a month and the inventory of unsold homes was down almost 19% when compared with a year prior.
More than 1 in 5 (21%) of those who have tackled home improvement projects since March opted to do so instead of looking to move, according to NerdWallets 2020 Home Improvement Report.
A smart renovation can boost your propertys value.
A 2019 joint report from the NAR and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry found that replacing outdated heating and cooling systems or upgrading insulation offered some of the best returns on investment when it came time to sell.
And, unlike a cash-out refinance, a renovation loan may expand your budget by allowing you to borrow against the homes expected value after improvements are complete, rather than its current value.
Similarly, you may be able to take advantage of a renovation refinance even if you havent owned your home long, since these loans require less equity than a cash-out refinance, home equity line of credit or home equity loan.
Research the right loan product: Renovation loan options include Freddie Macs CHOICERenovation loan, Fannie Maes Home Style renovation loan and FHA 203(k) refinance loans from the Federal Housing Administration. Your credit score and the improvements you plan to tackle determine which renovation loan is right for you, Zeitz says.
Get familiar with refinance requirements: In addition to available home equity, your lender will examine your credit score, debt-to-income ratio and employment history to determine if you qualify for the renovation refinance loan youre seeking.
Find an experienced contractor: In order to know how much youll need to borrow or how much your home may be worth once the remodelings done youll need accurate cost estimates from a licensed contractor.
Comparison shop lenders: Though rates are low, comparing interest rate quotes from at least three lenders will ensure you get the best deal.

A Tropical Pineapples smoothie shop, Panda Express and possibly one other eatery are likely to open in Ramona in early 2021, depending on how well the owners can navigate the building and remodeling maze created by COVID-19 mandates.
Panda Express
The Panda Express restaurant under construction near 13th and Main streets in Ramona is nearly completed and expected to open just after the new year, planners say.
Steve Pollett, property manager for owners John and Heidi Farkash, said the opening date depends heavily on COVID-19 conditions and its related rules and regulations.
Were taking it one day at a time, but were full steam ahead trying to get it opened the first of the year, said Pollett, adding that the Panda Express will have a drive-through and offer takeout food a plus in the COVID era. Were getting it done, doing it right and not taking any shortcuts.
As of the last week of October, Pollett said the walls had been framed and the restaurants interior was beginning to take shape with a kitchen, dining area and two restrooms. The 2,000-square-foot Panda Express will have an adjacent covered patio that will be shared with the 2,000-square-foot building, also owned by the Farkashes, on the other side of the property.
The occupant of the other building has not been identified yet, but it could be another eatery, Pollett said. The 2,340-square-foot covered patio sandwiched between the buildings will be open for community use.
Carole Wylie of Wylie Architecture Planning Interior Design Inc. of Ramona, who designed the buildings, said Pandas interior can seat about 50 diners at 12 booths and two tables that seat eight people each. The exterior space under a covered porch will seat about 16 people.
Some signs of completion to watch for are the installation of four doors to enclose the patio between the two buildings for safety at night, planting of the landscaping and bringing down the exterior chain link fence, Pollett said.
Plans also call for Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility and building a walkway so patrons of the Panda Express or its adjacent business can walk to Starbucks nearby. Parking will be available in 32 spaces behind the buildings.
A Tropical Pineapples smoothie shop planned by Peter and Shayna San Nicolas will have a tropical boho theme.

Tropical Pineapple
Peter San Nicolas and his wife Shayna, owners of Ramona Fitness Center, are resurrecting their smoothie shop business with plans to open a new Tropical Pineapples venture just after the new year.
The new shop will feature organic smoothies, juices, bowls, Kombucha on tap and possibly other healthy food items such as avocado toast, Peter San Nicolas said. A signature Tropical Pineapple drink will be a mango-pineapple smoothie served in a to-go bamboo cup. Customers will also be able to select from a dozen different types of smoothies and a half-dozen bowls filled with fruit, granola and nut seeds.
The store will be beside Jersey Mikes Subs and Rubios Coastal Grill, where the Supercuts hair salon had been, at 1664 Main St., Suite C.
Its not too far from where the couple used to run a Hurricane Juice and Supplements store in the same Stater Bros. shopping center. Peter San Nicolas said his family operated Hurricane Juice for about four years, from 2003-06, but closed it to focus more on their growing family. Hurricane Juice and Supplements was moved to his Ramona Fitness Center, where gym patrons and other visitors can still get protein shakes at City Blend.
We had so many people tell us how much they missed the smoothie store and wanted another one, San Nicolas said. It will be an awesome place for the young people of Ramona and really for everyone.
The owners say they are looking to create a tropical boho theme and deliver on healthy ingredients drawing from Shayna San Nicolas experience as a nutritional therapy practitioner. Customers can add spices and herbs such as turmeric, ginger root and cinnamon to boost the immune system and promote a healthy gut, Peter San Nicolas said. Other additives may include fresh coconut, raw honey, Greek yogurt, spinach and kale, he said.
The 1,100-square-foot Tropical Pineapples store will be able to accommodate roughly 20 customers inside with additional limited seating outside. San Nicolas said it will have a cool vibe similar to downtown San Diego venues.
The family hopes it could be the start of a franchise.
The goal is to be replicating this in San Diego and the Southern California area, Peter San Nicolas said. At that point we will make it available for franchise opportunities. The No. 1 goal is to provide something that Ramona doesnt already have.
