Halifax Forum renovation plans push forward

Posted on By Kartika

Halifax Regional Council is pushing forward with a site and building plan for the possible redevelopment of the Halifax Forum.

On Tuesday night, the council directed the chief administrative officer to provide more details on the potential project, shortly.

“I think we have to bite the bullet on this and get something done,” said Halifax Major Mike Savage.

Two years ago, the cost to tear down and rebuild the Forum facility, which included two rinks and two community halls, was roughly $80 million.

It has now soared to $110 million.

Savage said the city needs to make a decision soon.

“The only thing that scares me more than $110 million today is what it might be in two years if we don’t do something,” said Savage.

Neil Samson has been using the Forum parking lot as a taxi stand for the past 35 years.

When Samson first heard of the

Whitehorse’s Beringia Center reopens after 5-month renovation

Posted on By Kartika

Whitehorse’s Beringia Interpretive Center re-opens its doors this weekend after a five-month closure for renovations — and visitors are being promised a more engaging and interactive experience of Yukon’s Ice Age history.

“Change was a constant thing in the Yukon in the past,” said territorial government paleontologist Grant Zazula, who was involved in the facility’s overhaul.

“Extinction, survival and change through time was really what we wanted to get across.”

The center, just off the Alaska Highway, is home to skeletons, fossils, and other exhibits that aim to tell the story of life in the Yukon through the ages. Beringia refers to the land bridge that once connected Alaska and Siberia, over which humans and wildlife migrated into North America tens of thousands of years ago.

The Hatha House: A West Van renovation achieves outdoor bliss

When a client asks for a guest house that doubles as a yoga studio, and you don’t just deliver – but build something so seamless it looks like it was always there – well, that’s a reward in itself.

But for the dreamy, yogi-approved outdoor space it created in West Vancouver, the CCI-Fairmile Group has won plenty of acclaim, too. Most recently: a Georgie Award for Best New Small-Scale Home up to 1,000 Square Feet, along with two Homebuilders’ Association of Vancouver award nominations.

It took a whole lot of care and planning to match every angle, peak, column and soffit of the new structure seamlessly with the original – a 2015-built, 6,000-square-foot modern-traditional family home – says CCI-Fairmile Group

Temple Square renovation update: 1st base isolator installed

Posted on By Kartika
Renovation

The first of 98 base isolators has been installed as part of the ongoing Salt Lake Temple renovations, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced this week.

Base isolators are mechanical devices that isolate the earth’s movement from the building above during a seismic event, according to the Church’s news release on ChurchofJesusChrist.org dated May 23. A single base isolator weighs 18,000 pounds but can carry a weight of 8 million pounds. Installing isolators will allow the temple to move horizontally up to five feet in any direction during an earthquake.

The first base isolator was placed May 3 on the new footing on the temple’s west side. The new footings surround the towers on the east and west ends of the temple, extending down 35 feet and away from the original structure.

The base isolator’s installation marks a major milestone for the renovation project that began in

New Jersey Couple Spends 5 Years Renovating $435,000 House, Selling It for $649,000

After over five years of calling the place home, the couple is putting the four-bedroom property on the market for $649,000.

One of the main reasons why the couple bought the house was because of how convenient it was for them to commute to work, Rogers said. But after the pandemic, everything changed.

“Our jobs went full-time remote, and all of a sudden we weren’t in New York City anymore, ever,” Rogers said. “And we started thinking about if there was somewhere else we could live.”

Even though they live in an area with lots of conveniences nearby, including the grocery store, coffee shops, and even bars, it wasn’t the same as being in the city, she said.

“It was a really big shift for us to just be in our home and in the suburbs 24/7,” Rogers said. “So we
