Homes need whole house surge protection Q. I recently had a 16kw whole house generator installed. It feeds through to the 200 amp service panel from a smart switch mounted outside by my city utility power meter. There are no power management modules installed so the smart switch is just used to switch power from the utility to generator and back. My question concerns lightning surge suppression.

I know that no surge suppressor can handle a direct lightning hit to the home or very nearby but is it possible to use a whole house surge suppressor to protect both my house circuitry as well as my generator circuitry? — Curby of Auburn A. This is definitely a question for an experienced electrician or electrical engineer who can come take a look at your complete system — the sources of electricity and also specific usage requirements.

Homes today are in more and more need of whole house surge protection. It seems all things now have circuit boards in them, even LED lights that are vulnerable to surges or spikes, spikes being of higher current. My understanding is that a smart switch does some form of load shedding where it diverts or shuts down certain circuits that can cause a surge in the system.

Eighty percent of the surge concerns are generated within the typical system such as AC units, compressors or other large use items. Yes, a whole house surge suppressor is a good idea for any surges of electricity from outside your system.

Close lightning strikes are usually dissipated before reaching your home.

Sometimes surges can come from equipment located in the surrounding neighborhood and even from the generator briefly as it starts.

Most experts will recommend a layer approach with layers of protection all the way to surge protectors at sensitive areas such as computers and high tech audio/video systems.

Q. We are planning on having our kitchen remodeled this winter and have been going over ideas. The old kitchen will be removed down to the studs where required and there will be a total new layout or cabinetry including moving the sink and appliances. The electrical and plumbing will have to get reworked to facilitate the new

cabinet layout. My question is this: Presently we have a heating and cooling register on an exterior wall under a window. The new cabinet layout has got base cabinets that now will run along that wall.

Should we plan to move the register out past the base cabinets or cut a vent into the toe kick space of the new cabinet? — Connie

of Auburn A. HVAC registers are typically located on exterior walls and often are under windows to encourage circulation in the room. This can be a problem because most kitchens have cabinets located along the exterior wall.

To move the register out in front of the cabinet is problematic because it is uncomfortable to stand or walk on especially in bare feet. This is also a common place for food and liquids to spill and get into the register and they are difficult to clean out.

Yes, it is common to locate the register vertically in the toe kick of the cabinet. The problem with that is getting the heated and cooled air out the register. If the air is just brought into the bottom of the cabinet and then expected to make its way out the register, this can be difficult.

If the cabinet is not sealed to the floor, that air will make its way under that whole wall of cabinets, reducing the amount of air that actually comes out of the register.

I recommend using a metal 90-degree elbow to bring the air directly to the toe kick register.

We have also fabricated a wood deflector, sealed on all edges and to the floor, to bring the conditioned air directly into the room where it is needed.

Q. In the spring we are planning on building a new house and have been looking at ideas and plans. In our current kitchen we have an appliance garage in the corner of the kitchen between the counter top and the wall cabinets. I have found this to be

awkward for storing larger appliances.

They have to kind of get piled on top of each other and generally I have to unload most of this cabinet to get to what I need. Are there other cabinets that are designed to store appliances at counter level? — Barb of Allen County A. When it comes to kitchens, every day they are making dramatic changes to styles and operations.

We work full time in the kitchen business and build and install several kitchens a month. This keeps us up-to-date with manufacturers’ changes and changes in trends.

The hottest trends we see today are contemporary styles mixed with traditional looks. Slab or shaker styles are growing in popularity reflecting simpler, sleeker aesthetics.

Light neutral colors with the grays are gaining more popularity as well as the mixing of materials and textures — modern with rustic accents such as reclaimed wood or mixed tile and stone accents.

Yes, one of the newest innovations has been in hardware, hinges, levers and pulls. One of these innovations is door brackets that elevate and rotate the door to expose the full opening of the cabinet. These cabinets are great appliance garages and can be installed at counter level. You pull on the door from the bottom and the whole door comes out and folds up giving the ability to slide larger appliances out such as blenders, mixers, toasters and similar appliances.

Q. Last spring we had a water leak. It ruined the entire tongue and groove pine paneling in our lower level at the lake cottage. The insurance contractor removed the entire existing wall covering, replaced the insulation and installed new wood paneling. The problem is the wood feels unfinished and rough (they say the wood was professionally stained and finished) to the touch. In several areas, the wood appears to have turned a shade of gray.

What is causing this discoloration? — Tim A. Grey tint and mineral lines can be typical in wood.

Being a natural product, wood can often contain many color variations.

Graying in wood can also come from aging or sun exposure. Preparing See SQUARE CORNERS page 5

“Say you saw it in Steuben Real Estate Guide” • January 2016 • Page 4

SQUARE CORNERS From page 4

tongue and groove pine paneling to be stained and finished is not a simple or quick process and getting consistency is critical.

If the wood that was installed was left out in the weather too long or was exposed to wind or weather in the transportation process there may be color variations.

There are many ways that wood can have a gray cast to it but it is most common in outdoor decks and furniture that has had the finish worn off.

Wood needs to be sealed or treated to protect it from the graying or aging process. For most early stages of graying you can sand the wood and go over it well with steel wool and the graying will go away. Tack cloth the surface to clean it well and sometimes it might need to be restained to get to the desired color. Then put on several good coats of polyurethane to protect the wood.

Several sheens are available. Keep in mind that the highest gloss will be the toughest to match into existing.

Probably the entire wood wall surface will need to get done.

Q. Our new house is in the process of being framed. The first floor walls are up and they’re starting to frame the second floor. The floor is made of pre-manufactured floor I-Joists and not all the window and door openings on the exterior walls have headers above them and some openings they used headers over. Shouldn’t all the windows and doors in the exterior walls have headers? — Phillip of Noble County A. Today there are many options for framing that use up-to-date technologies both in manufactured structural components but also in energy related advances.

Standard construction techniques require headers above all exterior wall openings. Sometimes they will separate the two by material of the headers with insulation board sandwiched together or stuffed with insulation.

Pre-manufactured insulated headers have become commonplace in quality constructed homes. With the new technologies of manufactured I-Joists now we can add structural laminated veneer lumber (LVL) in the rim joist to provide structural support so that no

headers are required directly above the window and door openings.

Of course, the size of the openings will affect the abilities to do this.

Now the area above the windows and doors can be fully insulated like the remainder of the wall producing a higher average wall R value.

There are ways to use structural engineered wood products to solve all kinds of construction problems today.

Your builder or contractor needs to stay on top of changing technologies.

These new engineered floor and roof systems need to be constructed or assembled with strict guidelines and tolerances from the manufacturers.

Building departments require stamped engineered specifications and drawing to make sure they are constructed per manufacturer’s guidelines.

Q. I want to remodel my bathroom in my 30-year-old home. The vanity and above toilet cabinet were replaced a couple of years ago but the vanity top is a cultured top that is showing age. Both the shower valve and vanity faucet need to be replaced. The shower is a fiberglass one-piece and is solid and in good condition but the shower door is ugly and needs to be replaced.

A remodeling contractor came to our house and he recommended replacing everything; the cost was more than $10,000. Wow. Can we do anything to keep within a reasonable cost? Andy of LaGrange A. To complete a full bath replacement can cost $8,000 to $10,000, especially if the shower tub unit is replaced because now you are down to the studs in at least a part of the bath. A bathroom remodel can take as many skilled tradesmen as building a house, framing, insulation, plumbing, electrical, drywall and finish.

Be careful about taking the advice of a single contractor that visits your house just once and recommends complete replacement — that is the easy way. I have seen people look to get major remodeling done and the first thing the contractor recommends is tear down and build new. Keep in mind that evaluating your bath and what can be done and what you really want takes work breaking down the specifics of your bath remodel.

Consider this for your bath: Remove vanity and cabinet for reuse.

Remove the shower door and have a fiberglass expert fill the holes and refinish the existing tub/shower unit.

A good plumber can rebuild the

shower valve to be like new and replace the toilet and vanity faucet.

The electric and lighting can be upgraded, the floor replaced and the walls and ceiling can get refinished and painted. The vanity can get cleaned up and re-installed with a new top of your choice. This remodel now can be a lower in cost and good for years to come.

Q. My husband and I are planning a major remodeling project this winter.

We want to have it completed by next summer. One of our kids is graduating from high school and we are expecting family to travel and stay at our place.

Should I go through one of the online contractor referral services? Patty of Steuben County A. I suggest that you do a little research online first. Contractor referral websites like Angie’s List or Homeadviser have become popular because today we think we can get something cheap and have to put little work into it. Wrong on all accounts.

Hiring a contractor is not necessarily hard; you just need to do diligence on the part of getting things in writing, getting referrals and looking at the details.

Whenever you bring in a third party like a contractor referral service you are paying someone else, typically in a completely different state, to recommend a contractor. Our company participates in several of these sites so the contractors are not bad but that service is not free. We participate in the ones we feel have some merit to prequalification and are providing a service to today’s customers with little time to spend interviewing various contractors.

Again I will mention that these services are not free. Either you pay to get a list of prescreened contractors or we as contractors pay for the prescreened customer inquiries. In either case, the customer ends up paying for these costs. Even if you are new to the area and know no one, there are ways to evaluate contractors and gather information on your own.

Yes, I recommend getting a couple of quotes but what you’re really doing is interviewing contractors. You want to see what they are able to offer you and how they do business.

Steuben County lakes Steuben County might best be known for its lakes, of which there are more than 100 (for tourism marketing purposes, the number 101 is used).

The county’s lakes range in size from a few acres to 1,034 acres, which is Lake James, one of the state’s largest natural lakes.

A majority of the lakes are in Jamestown and Pleasant townships.

That’s where the Lake James chain is located, which includes Big and Little Otter lakes, Snow Lake, Lake James and Jimmerson Lake. Other major lakes in these two townships include Lake George, Barton Lake, Crooked Lake, Fox Lake and Loon Lake.

Clear Lake, in the northeastern corner of the county, is considered to have some of the best water quality in the state, according to authorities with Indiana University and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.

Hamilton Lake, which is practically surrounded by the town of Hamilton in the southeastern corner of the county, has 802 surface acres.

Lake Gage, a round, kettle-shaped lake near Orland, is about 332 acres and

like Clear Lake, has extremely high water quality.

With all of the lakes along with Pigeon River, Fish Creek and Fawn River (Crooked Creek) it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Steuben County has a lot of water. In fact, about 9 percent of the county’s surface acreage is water.

Some of the county’s lakes are highly developed, such as Lake James and Crooked Lake. Crooked Lake was one of the earliest in the county to be developed for recreational use. There once were passenger trains that carried visitors to Crooked Lake and Lake James.

Many of the early cottages on county lakes have either been converted to year-round use or have been knocked down and replaced with permanent homes, or modern second homes.

A study sponsored by the Steuben County Community Foundation to inventory historic structures in Steuben County was buoyed upward due to the many older cottages on some of the lakes.

Lake James’ hilly, wooded shoreline is dotted with lake cottages and homes.

However, about one-fourth of the natural shoreline of James, in Pokagon State

Park, remains much as it was when it was created by the glaciers. Pokagon’s shoreline extends to its northern boundary on Snow Lake. There, a steep, tree-covered hill drops off sharply to the water’s edge.

Some of the county’s lakes remain natural wonders, with little encroachment by humans. Those include the Seven Sisters Lakes, near Pokagon State Park, where a nature preserve, privately-owned wetlands and Trine State Recreation Area surround the shoreline. The Seven Sisters, the largest of which is Gentian Lake, are some of the most pristine lakes in the Midwest.

Also, there’s Walters Lake, near Fremont. There are only two access points, and both are privately owned. If you can get there, Walters Lake produces some of the best pan fishing around.

Somewhat more accessible is Loon Lake, west of Angola. Much of Loon Lake is preserved by the Nature Conservancy, a private, international land conservation group. Loon Lake is home to many different species of rare and endangered plants and wildflowers, including carnivorous plants.

Steuben County schools Steuben County students are served by five public school corporations. Trine University, founded in 1884, attracts students from across the globe. The county also has three public libraries.
