HOME OFFICE from page 3A hybrid work-home spaces were increasingly popular as craftsmen and merchants set up store fronts and had personal living space at the back of their houses. The public office space did not come back to popularity until the Industrial Revolution, and the 20th century ushered in the idea of the modern office space, requiring work be done outside the home and doing a daily commute. With many people continuing to take advantage of work-from-home options, there is an increased need for practical and organized home office space.

Location, Location, Location

One of the most important things to consider when setting up a home office is its location. Comfort comes in many shapes and forms. Where your office is located is going to affect not only your productivity but the family dynamics. If you can set up a home office in a separate room, that’s ideal. But not everyone has that option. Choose the quietest part of your house, whether that is the living room, family room, guest room, and sometimes even the bedroom. Stay away from doors and heavy trafficked areas. Use the space you have wisely. Look around. Do you see the large chair in the corner of your living room and you don’t remember when was the last time you sat in it? Move it and use that corner to set up a workspace. We do not want to be reminded of our workday when we sit down at the end of the day with family to relax and have dinner. One way to avoid that is to try and set up the home office in a way that it blends in with the rest of the room. If possible, avoid having the workspace take central stage in the room. A quiet corner of the living room will do. Try to have the desk mimic the style and color of the rest of the furniture in the room. Keep the workspace clean and organized. Nothing screams work and office more than a bundle of cables dangling from a home computer. Invest in a wireless mouse and screen.

Keep It Simple

Try not to over decorate. You may be tempted to recreate the beautifully styled home offices that you see on Pinterest. There are the desks with flower arrangements and tons of books, the inspirational quotes and family photos. But it is just that, a beautifully styled desk but likely not a practical workspace. Keep your workspace simple, clean and organized, especially if your desk is in one of the main living spaces. Ideally, use a desk with drawers where you can store all

Bring Life to The Walls

Those inspirational quotes and family pictures can still be around you. Hang them on the wall above your desk. Floating shelves are a great way not only to use to store office items but also serve as display space. They also help define your workspace and break up the space around it. If you are concerned with damaging the walls

Let The Light In

Quiet and calm are important for a productive day in the home office. So is light. Natural light brings an elevated mood and more energy to your work. If possible, situate your desk next to a window. Open the curtains and roll up the shades. Use task lights and adjustable desk lights to compensate for lack of natural light

or work in the evening. Most of our home offices have limited space so wisely choose your light fixture. If your space isn’t big or close to a window, bring in a mirror to reflect available light to your workspace. The home office should, above all, be a comfortable space where you feel inspired, productive and motivated. If you haven’t created this special place yet, it is never too late to do so now. —Tania Kapoor is a Manhasset-based interior designer and owner of OGAN DÉCOR, LLC.

all is a fantastic time of year. The leaves are changing colors and the temperatures have cooled enough that it actually feels quite nice to spend time outdoors. Take this opportunity to beautify your home and garden with plants that love fall as much as you do. One of the most beloved plants for fall is the Chrysanthemum or “mum.” Available in a myriad of colors, mums produce small daisy-like flowers for several weeks during the fall months. Mums look great planted in a garden bed or try them in a planter by your entryway. You will not be disappointed. Another favorite is ornamental cabbage, which comes in several shades of purple and white. Although called cabbage, ornamental cabbage is not edible—it’s just beautiful. Cabbage typically holds its color until the first hard frost in winter and looks gorgeous when planted along a walkway or in flower beds and window boxes. One of my personal favorites for fall is ornamental peppers. Just like ornamental cabbage, the peppers are not edible but sure look really interesting. If you are looking for a dash of bright, fun color ornamental peppers are the plant for you. Ornamental grasses provide height and texture to a garden and are a favorite among birds and other wildlife throughout the fall and winter months. Millet, reed grass and fountain grass varieties are favorites here on Long Island. Consider mixing the plants mentioned above—mums, ornamental cabbage, peppers and grasses into large planters along your patio and entryway to provide a colorful display throughout autumn. Fall is also a great time to landscape

Ornamental grasses

Fall Into Your Garden with trees and shrubs. The air temperatures are cooler but the soil is still plenty warm, creating the perfect conditions for plant roots to grow until the ground freezes. Whether you need to screen out unsightly views, add a new foundation planting to the front of your house or redesign the areas around your pool, now is great time to begin the process. This one might surprise you, but

your lawn is also a great “plant” to focus on during fall. Plentiful rainfall, cooler temperatures and the lack of competition from weeds combine to make fall the absolute best time for seeding. Visit your local garden center to choose the grass seed mixture that best suits your conditions (sun, shade, high traffic, etc.) Also, water regularly and fertilize the entire lawn with an organic lawn fertilizer.

Ornamental peppers

Colorful cabbage and mums Gardening does not end with summer. Get out there now while the temperatures are cool. Enjoy your garden while also checking a few tasks off your list for next spring. Just like summer, your fall and winter gardens can provide vivid colors, shapes and textures. Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy all it has to offer. —Karen Musgrave works for Hicks Nurseries in Westbury.

Does Your Next Project Involve Digging?

Call 811 Before Starting

SEG Long Island reminds customers it is the law to dial 811 before starting an improvement project that involves digging. Hitting a buried electric, gas, water or cable line while digging can disrupt utility service, cost money to repair and cause severe injury or death. One free call to 811 will ensure customers “know what’s below.” Every digging project, no matter how small, requires a call to 811 at least two and not more than 10 business days before work begins. 811 is the designated national dialing code to have underground lines located and marked out before any excavation work begins around the home or business. When you call 811, you are automatically connected to the 811 Call Center, which collects information about your upcoming digging project. The information is provided to utility

companies, who send representatives to mark the locations of underground lines with flags, paint or both. Once lines have been properly marked, you will be notified and the digging can begin. “A free call to 811 before digging keeps our customers safe and protects underground lines, which helps ensure excellent reliability across Long Island and the Rockaways,” Michael Sullivan, senior director of Transmission and Distribution at PSEG Long Island said. “It’s the smart thing to do, and it’s also the law. I’m pleased to say that we have had more than 130,000 calls for electric markouts to 811 in our area so far this year, which is about 10 percent more than last year and a sign that our educational campaigns are working.” PSEG Long Island continues to practice safe social distancing protocols.

FULL RUN

Customers should be assured that underground utility mark-out work is performed entirely outdoors and there is no need for any interaction with the technicians.

If an underground facility is struck resulting in an electric or gas emergency:

Basement Egress For Peace Of Mind BY CHRISTY HINKO

chinko@antonmediagroup.com

ver consider how you might gain safe exit from your home’s basement if there was a fire or other emergency situation? Most homes on Long Island only have the single staircase entry/exit design and were not built with livable space in mind. Most windows in these basements, only measuring 32-by-14 inches, are not suitable for safe exit in case of an emergency. How will you get out safely, even if you were only in the basement temporarily to put Christmas decorations away or put the laundry in the dryer? Egress (exit) window systems are becoming an increasingly popular choice for home renovation, expanding livable space in our Long Island homes and general peace of mind for keeping our families safe. Glen Dauman and Randy Goldbaum, owners of Long Island Egress Pros are leading the way with this critical home improvement transformation, installing, not only egress window systems in basements across Long Island, but basement walk-outs, Bilco doors, window wells and doggy doors. Especially during the past two years, people have been spending a lot of time at home, reassessing their living space, making room for everyone to live and play comfortably within the livable space. “Homeowners are already utilizing as much living space as we can,” Goldbaum said. “They aren’t making more property, so people are expanding into their basements.” Federal and state codes say your basement must have two areas of egress.

Why should I get an Egress Window?

An egress opening is designed to be large enough for a firefighter to climb in or a person to climb out of in an emergency. U.S. building codes require each bedroom of a home to have an emergency exit window, with minimum sizes specified. “We are the only company in New York where all we do is egress,” Goldbaum said. “Other companies do something else who also do egress; one competitor is a waterproofer who also does egress; another does cesspools, but also does egress.” Installing an egress opening is not a job for your handyman; it is a job for an expert in the field who knows what to do to and how to do it. Long Island

A basement entry (walkout) also serves as egress

Single hung egress window with in swing. Finally, fresh air in the basement. Egress Pros are experienced, licensed and insured. More natural light Before egress windows, most basements had little access to natural light. An egress window can allow much more light into this space. This in turn can save you in power bills during the day and will make the entire feel of your basement change. Many of our clients state that they feel like they are on any other floor of the home. The light changes the entire feel of a dark, sub-level room. Safety More than 6,000 Americans die in fires annually and this should be a major cause for concern for any homeowner or basement living tenants. “We really care; we really want to make sure your family is safe and that you have a window system that you can enjoy, getting the most out of your living space,” Goldbaum said. “The number one reason people buy egress is safety.”

By adding an egress window, you will be protecting your family by ensuring they can get out in case of a fire or any other emergency. Property Value Homeowners are always looking for additional features before buying. Egress windows are often sough after by new home buyers and required by code. Homes with egress windows have a higher value according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). “Most people are re-doing their basements so their children have a play area,” Goldbaum said. Egress windows make your square footage value increase too. More livable square footage equals more value to your home. “Our team shows up; we hand-dig the (window) well,” Goldbaum said. Code says the windowsill cannot be lower than 18 inches from the interior floor and cannot exceed 44 inches. “We dig down by hand to sand and take away all of the waste. We install

Home Repair Experts Help Homebuyers Spot Nightmare House BY TRESTON DUNN

are common, but large cracks (wider than a half-inch) could indicate an unstable foundation or structural problems.

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

ager homebuyers are skipping the home inspection to snatch their dream home off today’s hot market...only to discover major problems down the road and competition is fierce. According to NerdWallet, 28 million Americans planned to buy a home in 2021. But acting fast can be costly. Inexperienced homeowners tackled DIY projects before putting their homes on the market and that can lead to repairs for buyers. A recent survey by Window World, America’s largest replacement window and exterior remodeling company, reveals: • Nearly 53 percent of homeowners planned or did more DIY home improvement projects during COVID than they had in the past. • More than a third of respondents regret taking on a DIY home improvement project because they didn’t have the skills to do it right. “There is so much competition for homebuyers right now that many people are skipping the home inspection,” Window World Chairman and CEO Tammy Whitworth said. “This may give eager buyers first dibs on a house for sale, but they could end up with expensive problems once they own the home. Window World’s 11 Red Flags of a Nightmare House campaign aims to help buyers spot problems immediately, so they don’t waste time or money with a home sale.”

8 Aging HVAC system

Ask when the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units were last replaced. They may be less energy efficient—which means a bigger electricity bill—if they are nearing their expiration dates. A heat pump or air conditioner should be replaced after 10 years and a furnace or boiler should be replaced after 15 years.

Strong scents

Does something smell...funny? Strong air fresheners can mask hidden odors, like carpet covered in pet urine. A musty smell may mean moisture and (you guessed it) mold.

5 Drafty windows

Hold your hand near the edge of a window. Do you feel air blowing through? Drafty windows mean high electric bills. Look out for windows that have fog in between the panes, don’t

close properly, or have worn weatherstripping. Older windows are less energy efficient, and problems here may be a window to deeper issues.

If siding panels are warped or malleable, they may be rotted. Peeling paint may be a sign of water, which could be seeping into the home’s foundation.

Doors don’t close all the way

If there are doors that don’t shut all the way, there could be a problem with the home’s structural framing. Check for doors that look like they may have been cut to fit; that could indicate a quick fix by the homeowner.

Water stains

Out-of-place paint

Look up. If you see water stains on the ceiling, there may be plumbing issues on an upper floor. Water stains can indicate a leaky roof or window, which may mean rotting wood or mold.
