Christina Hall’s Clients Endured a 3-Month Renovation Nightmare

24/07/2023 Kartika

Renovation

Renovations always come with risks. On a new episode of HGTV’s Christina on the CoastChristina Hall’s clients faced some pretty brutal issues—including one that required them to live in their Huntington Beach, California, home with a partially open roof for three months.

The nearly year-long renovation involved transforming the homeowners’ closet and the crawl space behind it into a big primary bathroom. That required raising the ceiling and redoing the roof to increase the square footage. Mike Rose, Christina’s go-to contractor on the show, explained that a mistake in the plans was going to create what he estimated to be a two-week delay. It ended up being…three months.

It turned out the engineer the team was using for the project assumed the floor joists ran in one direction. In reality, they went a different way. Because of that, Rose’s team had planned the framing inaccurately. They had to stop

The Cal Poly library is undergoing a $77 million renovation. What was it like in the 1970s?

25/06/2023 Kartika

Renovation

Fun fact: Cal Poly did not have a dedicated library building until 46 years after classes were first held on campus in San Luis Obispo in 1903.

Then known as the California Polytechnic School, a three-year secondary school, the future university had a modest start.

Cal Poly’s first library was next door to Cal Poly Director Leroy Anderson’s office in the original 1903 administration building. His secretary doubled as librarian.

In 1916, the library moved to the second floor of the science building later called Anderson Hall.

It was relocated to classroom units near the center of campus in 1939.

The library’s next stop was the second floor of the clock tower building, where it occupied six classrooms. That structure is now known as the Cotchett Education Building.

When the Dexter Library opened in September 1949, it was a $700,000 statement that the college was growing.

The library was named

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
