Our schools are all closed
Comments (115)I'm only tuning it when our governor and director of health have a scheduled update. This morning the governor of Ohio planted the seed among Ohioans that schools may be shuttered for the remainder of the school year. “We’ve informed the superintendents while we close schools for three weeks, that the odds are that this is going to go on a lot longer and it would not surprise me at all if schools did not open again this year,” the governor said. Most recent update. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine says he has asked Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton to sign an order closing all bars and restaurants in the state by 9 p.m. Sunday. Businesses are still allowed to be open for carry-out and delivery. “It will be in effect until as long as it needs to,” DeWine said of the order. To assist workers impacted by the closures, DeWine says he will issue an executive order creating several changes to Ohio’s unemployment law and state agency policy, including waiving wait times for unemployment benefits and work requirements for those quarantined....See MoreConversations with checkers at grocery stores
Comments (149)I'm not sure what's happening here any more, but I am not getting any notifications from Houzz, except for ones that I signed up for. I would like to add, however, that I have known a few people who take casual conversations with strangers a bit too far, and this includes my father and maternal grandmother, who were very much alike and therefore hated each other. Both of them would talk way too much with (or to) people that they did not know and share way more information than the innocent victim wanted to hear. I do not feel that I am like either of them, and I like to keep conversations mutual. I am as interested in hearing what the other person wants to say as I am in sharing information with that person. For me, sharing is a two-way street, and I am not interested in creating traffic jams. OTOH, I have also been the victim of people who want to share too much information, especially when stuck next to someone on a plane. Sometimes this can be excruciating but other times it can be entertaining. I've heard some very funny stories from people on planes, as well as some very boring ones....See MoreCOVID - Dilemna - I Need A Haircut
Comments (49)I can understand and support the need to regulate businesses, however small. No one wants their neighbor's customers taking up all the parking spaces, for instance. And I can see the public benefit of knowing/controlling what's going on for tax and health and maybe even public utility usage purposes. But why can't a licensed cosmetologist have a 'travel to your house' business? I see (in non pandemic times) dog groomer vans parked in front of people's houses, to wash and clip your pets. Why not same for 'people grooming'? I'm just curious....See MoreCustom Home Floorplan Take 2
Comments (73)Hi there, please take a look at this variation of your floor plan. I moved and rearranged the spaces to fit your goals in a more organic manner. This design increases the footage of the house slightly. The guest bedroom now has its own bath. It shares pipes with the boys bath, reducing costs. The boy's bath is oversized to accommodate more than one person at a time. I moved the living room to the side of the garage. This allows for a partially secluded space that fosters relaxion and conversation and is shielded from the main entrance. Visitors at the front door see the dining room (not the living room) which is usually a tidier space. I would try to place large pane glass windows or floor to ceiling panels on the dining and living room walls facing northeast. I made the cooking and meal space the center of the home to reflect the reality that this is the core of a home. I did not include windows. You can do that since you know the site and the impact of the weather patterns in your region. I will carve some time and make for you a 3D rendition of the spaces so you can see the flow and character of the spaces. Notice that the front entrance is shielded by side walls and it is close to the mudroom with an aim to promote quick access to supplies and items stored there from both the entrance and the garage. There is also what seems to be empty space between the dining room and the kitchen. This space is very important for it allows the house and the furniture to breathe. Also, I gave the stairs a bigger presence in the house. Narrow stairs that are hidden away foster disunity and effectively hamper proper supervision of the basement space. The area in pink is an additional mudroom that adds storage space to the trimmed down garage, access to the east yard, and evens out the side of the house facing the street. I also added a suggestion of an entryway treatment. I hope this helps....See MoreJAN MOYER
