SPACE CREATING IDEAS FOR A SMALL BATH:

Check out the before and after pics in this bath Reno. Improved functionality and sophistication without adding any more sq footage.

In this remodel added storage by inserting a custom built niche inset into the wall between studs. Moved location of outlet from wall to inside wall of shelving niche to conceal and allow more space on counter top.

If you are putting in a new vanity consider adding and outlet on side of vanity. This way cords swing over side of counter instead of taking up valuable counter space.

Custom floating shelves (shelving brackets from IKEA) can be both decorative and functional.

TUESDAY TIP: When installing shoe molding place some old playing cards in between the molding and flooring before you nail in place. The cards should be stacked slightly thicker than your painters tape (usually 2 high). This provides a bit of a buffer between your painters tape and molding when you go to paint, which will result in a crisp clean paint line.

BASEMENT UPGRADE: Bar or gym? When configuring space in your basement opt for a gym instead of a bar to bump up your resale value. A win for your health as well!

This room was taken down to the studs to not only remove the bar, but also update the outdated flooring and textured drywall work. Wood tile flooring, updated lighting, and a custom built-in help to redefine this new gym space.

As we head further into winter and toward the holiday season we spend more time at home with friends and family. Do you find yourself bundling up at home, checking the thermostat, or avoiding a cold room in your home? These could be indicators that your home is poorly insulated, and its not just heat your loosing but money in heating bills. Another more serious indicator of poor insulation is ice damming on the roof....luckily with this balmy winter you won't be able to check this yet. However, with the winter we had last year you may remember if you had a ridge of ice that formed at the edge of your roof. This can cause water to back up behind the dam, leak into a home and cause damage to roof, walls, ceilings, insulation, and other areas. This occurs when you have heat loss through your roof due to improper insulation.

In order to prevent this, it is recommended that you have an insulation value of R49-R60 in your ceiling. For blown-in insulation that is approximately 15".

TO HELP YOU KEEP WARM AND PREVENT DAMAGE THIS WINTER ZOAT IS OFFERING FREE INSULATION INSPECTIONS THIS WINTER. CALL/TEXT TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT 614-226-2317.

Is there a cancer causer in your home? Radon is a colorless, ordorless natural gas that can seep into your house.
