his incredible 5 bedroom 3 bath home is located in Fieldspan Heights and it’s an absolute must see. It’s been meticulously maintained and is situated on a huge lot that’s just under an acre. Full attention to detail was given in every aspect of this custom built home. For starters there is a unique foyer with a vaulted ceiling, a huge living room with architectural columns that surround a fireplace and a cozy formal dining room. The kitchen is loaded with custom cabinetry, granite counter tops with tile backsplash, full island and gas cook top and oven. Just off of the kitchen is a large laundry room and a walk-in pantry. The master suite is large and enters into a master bath that features a double vanity, custom shower, custom Jacuzzi tub and a huge closet. Upstairs contains two huge bedrooms with walk in closets and a balcony. That’s not all, there’s even a living quarters/man-cave with its own full bath and cooking area. There’s a three car garage too. 229 Heymann Blvd. Lafayette, Louisiana 70503 WWW.THEADVERTISER.COM

ACADIAN HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
New Year, New Floors for Your Home By Jeff Wood, President, Acadian Home Builders Association
The start of the new year is a great time to reenergize your home. Taking steps to give your home a refresh doesn’t always require a major renovation. One way to liven up your living space is to replace your floors. Your new floors are not only about style and décor. Cost, durability, moisture and maintenance are other important factors to consider when purchasing new floors for your home. To help you evaluate what works best for your home, here are some popular floor options among home owners. Hardwood. Classic, contemporary and durable, hardwood floors remain one of the most wanted floor types for home owners. This option can be made from several different types of wood and are available in finished or unfinished. Hardwood floors can increase your home’s resale value and are easy to clean. Unlike other flooring options, hardwood is susceptible to scratching, dents or warping due to lengthy exposure to moisture. The cost depends on type of wood selected. Exotic wood types are generally more expensive per square foot. Laminate. A popular, less expensive alternative to hardwood floors is laminate. This type of flooring option is composed of various wood-based materials layered together which are ‘laminated’ and finished off with a photographic imprint. Generally, laminate is available in tiles or planks and are relatively easy to install and maintain. If you still want the look of hardwood floors without having them, laminate flooring is a viable option. Laminate is also more resistant to scuffs and scratches. Like hardwoods, extended exposure to moisture can damage the floor. Vinyl. Cost conscious home owners in search of a resilient flooring option should consider vinyl. Unlike other types of flooring, vinyl is ideal for areas in your home that are prone to moisture such as laundry rooms or basements. Vinyl has adhesive and is available in sheets or tiles. Repairing damaged vinyl is as easy as removing and replacing. There are several limitations with this type of floor. Vinyl is likely to scratch, can vary in quality and may not have the contemporary look compared to other flooring options. Bamboo. Unlike the name it implies, bamboo floor is manufactured out of lightweight wood grass. Bamboo floor is durable, resistant to changes due to temperature fluctuation and relatively easy to install. This flooring type is available in strips or planks. While it’s a less expensive option to hardwood floors, installation costs tend to be more expensive.
Linoleum. Natural materials make up linoleum. This flooring choice is scratch resistant and easy to maintain. Linoleum is available is planks, sheets or tiles. Like other flooring options, linoleum is available in a variety of colors and patterns. While durable, linoleum is not as water resistant as other types of flooring and can fade with long term exposure to direct sunlight. Carpet. Soft fibers and a variety of colors and textures make this type of flooring option popular especially in living and bedrooms. Depending on the type of carpet you select, this type of floor can resist moisture, mildew, water or stains. Carpet can be soft and pillowlike on your feet based on the type of padding you select. Not all carpet is stain resistant or easy to clean. If you live in a home where someone suffers from allergies this is not an ideal flooring choice since carpet fibers capture pollen and pet dander easily.

GENERAL COUNSEL™
LIVING SEPARATE AND APART DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN YOU NO LONGER OWN ANY COMMUNITY PROPERTY Q: MY WIFE AND I DECIDED TO LIVE APART ALMOST FOUR YEARS AGO. WE BOTH HAVE STRONG RELIGIOUS BELIEFS, SO WE DON’T WANT TO GET DIVORCED. THE PROBLEM I’VE GOT IS THAT I MAKE ABOUT TWICE AS MUCH MONEY AS MY WIFE, AND EVEN THOUGH I DON’T THINK SHE WILL CAUSE ME ANY FINANCIAL PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE, I’D LIKE TO BE SURE SHE CAN’T GET TO MY MONEY. ALSO, SHE HAS A TENDENCY, AT TIMES, TO RUN UP LARGE BALANCES ON HER CREDIT CARDS. WHAT CAN I LEGALLY DO, BESIDES GETTING DIVORCED, TO PROTECT MY INCOME AND INVESTMENTS?
Stephen J. Oats
General Counsel™ answers are provided by the
Law Firm of Oats & Marino, which is general counsel to individuals, businesses and government entities throughout the state of Louisiana. The information contained in this article is intended to be general in nature. Before any action is taken based upon this information, it is essential that competent, individual, professional service be obtained. Send Questions for this column to General Counsel™, 100 E. Vermilion St., Suite 400, Lafayette, LA 70501 or e-mail your questions to generalcounsel@oatsmarino.com. Sorry, no personal replies.
A: Since divorce is not an option, the only other option is to enter into a separate property agreement. Although you and your wife would still be married, you could both agree that your incomes are your own separate property. You you could also designate which accounts and other investments are your own separate property and which ones are your wife’s separate property. But, because you are already married, you will have to have any separate property agreement you desire to enter into approved by a judge. Before a judge will approve this type of agreement, you will have to make a showing that both parties are willingly entering into it, and that it is in the best interst of both parties. This shouldn’t be too much of a problem if you are both in agreement about making everything separate. You should consult an attorney to help you draft this
ageement and get it approved by the Judge. And, your wife should have separate counsel to represent her and guide her though the process. After the agreement is signed and approved by the Judge, the two of you will no longer own any community property. You earnings at work and your earnings from your separate property investments will be your separate property, and the same goes for your wife. You can also agree that your present and future debts are separateproperty debts. However, because you live in Louisiana, which is a community property state, credit card companies (for cards you or your wife have before the agreement is signed) will assume that your wife’s debts are also your debts, especially if you signed the credit card applications. To prevent this, you will have to contact each company and instruct them to take you off of the credit card as a guarantor. Unfortunately, if there is an outstanding balance on the card (that was incurred before the separate property agreement was signed), they may not agree to release you from liability for the debt. So if your wife fails to pay on the credit card, you may find the credit card companies coming after you to pay her bills. Also, it sounds like you wife could benefit from some credit counseling. There are several reputable consumer credit counseling agencies in Lafayette that offer services ranging from educational programs to debt management assistance. Good luck.
RENOVATIONS – ARE THEY WORTH THE EXPENSE AND HEADACHE? Q: MY HOUSE IS ABOUT 20 YEARS OLD AND IS BEGINNING TO LOOK WORN AND DATED. I WANT TO UPDATE THE KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS AND REPLACE THE CARPET WITH HARDWOOD FLOORS AND CERAMIC TILE. HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO GET BACK ON MY INVESTMENT WHEN I SELL IT? A: To calculate a return on your investment, you have to look at several factors. For example, you have to take into consideration the size of your house, the square footage and layout of your home, the quality and type of updates you are considering, and what other owners in your neighborhood are doing to improve their homes. If a fair number of your neighbors have done
ACADIANA HOMEFINDER
improvements to their houses, it may help raise the value of other houses in the neighborhood. Generally, people are willing to pay for better kitchens and bathrooms in houses. However, while you might get 10 or 15 percent more for an updated house than an unimproved one, you won’t get 30 or 40 percent more. If you aren’t going to sell your home for another five or six years, the paint and carpet you put in will probably be too old by then to add any value. Just keep these things in mind when you are planning your improvements. It may not be worth it to you to do $20,000 worth of improvements if it is only going to increase the value of your house by $10,000, even if you are going to enjoy those improvements yourself for the next few years.
