Blue Tarps and a Bridge to Pensacola By David Acuff
L Pensacola’s rich history and stunning ife is good here and our family loves
beaches. I have traveled the world over, visited many different countries and can testify that Pensacola’s sugar white sands are the absolute best in the world. We have made this area our home for more than 12 years and enjoy unique connections to an upbeat, growing and caring community. It is home. On a bright sunny day in October of 2005 I will never forget my first glimpse of Pensacola as I flew over with military orders to the Naval Hospital. I could not get over how, after more than a year since Hurricane Ivan, there were still houses with blue tarped roofs seen as a patchwork from above as my plane began to land. I was in the Navy and being transferred from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Recently widowed with four beautiful children, daughters who were 12 and 13 and my twin boys who were under the age of two, I had many mixed emotions and a lot of anxiety. I was on a house hunting trip and finding the right home was extremely difficult as there were not many available in Pensacola nearly a year after the hurricane. My family and I luckily found and bought our home but that left me with a daily commute into Pensacola traveling over what was left of the Escambia Bay Bridge. When Hurricane Ivan struck Pensacola on September 16, 2004, with 120-mile-per-hour winds, it severely damaged the 2.5 mile I-10 Bridge. Hurricane damage resulted in over 3,400 feet of the bridge dropping into the bay, requiring a detour that added at least an hour of travel time. Steel grid decks were used to replace the missing superstructure spans and were no fun (dare I say scary) to drive over. The commute was long and tedious and further complicated by decisions about which side of the bridge to leave my twin sons for day care. Do I have them endure almost three hours commuting back and forth or drop them off much earlier and pick them up much later at a local childcare facility? My girls were split for the first time between middle school and high school. Needless to say, these were grief-filled, difficult times with a lot to think about as I made the tedious trek to day care, work, and home each day. Almost three years after the hurricane, a new bridge system was completed and both east and west bound traffic was fully restored with three lanes going each direction by July of 2007. It was amazing to see the bridge literally being built before my

eyes as I traveled every day over those steel metal grates spanning the bay below. I would often think of the devastation hurricane forces can wreck on seemingly indestructible structures and of the tragedies and loss experienced by my new Pensacola/Milton area family and friends. The Pensacola Bay area is made up of strong and resilient people who have a heart for each other, their home and their heritage.
Advice for Older Adults:
• Listen for weather updates on local radio and television stations and on your NOAA Weather Radio. Don’t trust rumors or social media. Stay tuned in to the latest information. Storms can change paths quickly
Home Health Care and Home Bound Patients:
Pensacola is particularly vulnerable to hurricanes and seniors are especially susceptible to their effects. Those who live alone, or are without the support of family or friends, must take special precautions in the event of a storm.
People who are frail or disabled (either mentally or physically) may need special assistance As we approach this and future hurricane seasons from family members, friends or social service agencies. Older adults who are also caregivers it is important to prepare. We know hurricanes can produce a devastating combination of storm may require outside assistance. Excessive stress and anxiety can contribute to increased episodes surge, powerful winds, tornadoes and torrential of illness, particularly for persons with heart rains. Last year’s hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and disease and other illnesses. Nate have reemphasized the need for everyone to be prepared. What Should You Do? The If an older adult lives in a nursing home following is a list of simple tasks that I have or assisted living facility, the administrator compiled over the years from sites like FEMA should be contacted to learn about the specific and Ready.Gov that could save your family and evacuation plan for that facility. your home:
• Create a disaster supplies kit or go bag; www. ready.gov/build-a-kit Obtain any needed items • Refill prescriptions. Maintain a one to three month supply during hurricane season • Check your insurance policies. Organize important documents into an easy to transport file. • Clear yard of all loose objects like potted plants and bicycles. Secure trash cans • Make a plan and buy adequate supplies to secure and protect property • Protect your windows and glass doors. • Fill your vehicle’s gas tank and check oil, water, and tires. (Remember gas pumps don’t operate without electricity) • Get cash. Banks and ATMs won’t be in operation without electricity and few stores will be able to accept credit cards • Videotape or photograph your belongings. Create an inventory of your possessions • Keep a set of tools with you during the storm
• Notify your health agency where you will be during a hurricane and determine when care can be reestablished • If you are homebound and under the care of a physician, but not a home health agency, contact your physician • If you require respirators or other electricdependent medical equipment, you should make prior medical arrangement with your physician • If you require oxygen, check with your supplier about emergency plans • If you evacuate, remember to take medications, written instructions regarding your care, special equipment and bedding with you Find out more information on how to prepare for emergencies at www.ready.gov/ and take a moment to watch FEMA’s “Go Bag” video at youtu.be/Htgqb0pwrlQ.

5 tips for financing your next home improvement project Whether it’s transforming a fixer-upper into your dream home or just giving a makeover to your kitchen or bathroom, home improvement projects are on the minds of many new homeowners across the country. While many things about renovating your home are flexible, your budget might not be. In general, not a single floor board is laid or a new countertop installed without money, which is why every home renovation project should begin with careful financial planning. To help homeowners with their renovation projects, Marcus by Goldman Sachs(R) is working with home renovation expert JoJo Fletcher to share her budget-friendly home renovation tips. “Think about small changes you can make if you don’t have the time to take on a big project right now, like freshening up any kitchen by refinishing your cabinets with a bright white coat of paint,” Fletcher, said ambassador for Marcus by Goldman Sachs(R). “When it comes to financing a larger project, however, I recommend homeowners explore all their options in order to get the most out of their budget.” There are several ways to finance these projects and it’s important to explore your options to find the one that’s right for you. Below are five important tips to keep in mind when deciding how to fund your next home project. 1. Shop around. The better you plan, the better chance you’ll save money. Before anything gets torn out or installed, you should spend time consulting with contractors and getting estimates. Look at the work they’ve done to see if they would be a good fit. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions to make sure you’re working with the right people and paying the right price.
72 Pensacola Magazine
2. Consider financing options. There are several options when financing a home improvement project and it is important to choose the right fit for you. Home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (HELOC) require you to borrow against the value of your home, with home equity loans offering a lump sum while home equity lines of credit provide you with a credit line you can borrow against. An unsecured home improvement loan can be used based on your creditworthiness and ability to pay, not tied to a piece of collateral.
in front of you and prevent you from spending more than you want.
Fletcher added, “I recommend homeowners consider a home improvement loan if they are looking to borrow money and have good credit. For instance, Marcus by Goldman Sachs offers no-fee, fixed rate home improvement loans up to $40,000, which could be a better option than putting renovation costs on a higher interest credit card, or borrowing against your home’s equity. Applying for a loan is easy and you can see your offers in as little as five minutes.”
5. Work with a designer. This might sound like a luxury or an added expense, but in many cases, a designer could actually help save money by finding deals or providing suggestions for less expensive alternatives, such as using quartz or white concrete instead of marble. Above all, their expertise can help avoid costly mistakes that can often arise when people try to cut corners on their own.
3. Create a budget. Because of the nature of remodels, things often end up costing more than you might think. No matter how big or how small the project, you need to have a solid sense of what your “all in” budget number is. This should not only account for hard and soft costs for things like labor, materials and designers, it should also account for contingency costs. Experts typically recommend budgeting an additional 15 to 20 percent for unexpected scenarios that might arise. A thoughtful budget will help keep your priorities
4. Remember, this is an investment! Not all home renovations will pay off in the long term. It’s important to consider cost vs. value before you start making changes, especially for homeowners looking to sell in the near future. If you plan on putting your house on the market sooner rather than later, be sure to keep track of the top home features to get the best return on your investment.
With these tips, you should be better prepared to finance your home improvement project. When you’re ready to start, you shouldn’t have to wait weeks for a home appraisal to get your renovation project underway. You could see your home improvement loan options from Marcus by Goldman Sachs in as little as five minutes and once approved, most people see the funds in their bank accounts in as little as four days. With Marcus you could be one step closer to your dream home.

throw open the windows to help lighten and brighten your home. Give every nook and cranny a thorough scrub and organize areas that have grown messy. Try taking on one room at a time to make the job more manageable, and before you know it, you can have the whole house sparkling clean. Take it one step further by adding a clean and refreshing shade of paint to your space. Consider an option like the Quiet Comfort Color Collection from HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams, which is a palette of 20 hushed hues that, when used in any combination, can cultivate a neat and tidy vibe throughout your home. Uncover a creative focal point. During your cleaning, you may uncover open wall space or find an overlooked corner that is now visible. Change newfound free space into a family gallery wall. Paint it with a deep accent color like Valspar Favorite Green and
create texture by adding open shelving to display important family mementos or experiences. Switch up your motif. You may wish to update the decor of an entire room, but simple swaps can make a big difference. Try introducing more lively, summery textiles with fresh window coverings, area rugs and throw pillows. Swap some of your darker, heavier accent pieces in favor of bright, inviting decorative pieces that do dual - duty, such as colorful coasters that add whimsy while giving guests a place to rest their drinks. Change your kitchen into a hub for entertaining. Bring a breath of fresh air into your kitchen by creating a pleasing, relaxing environment fit for entertaining with a blend of bright and bold colors like Valspar Emerald Ice and Indigo Cloth. Try the reassuring indigo for the base of the island, a central hub and the light and airy emerald green as a
backdrop for a stylish gathering spot that can get guests feeling instantly at ease. Make it feel like home. Part of making your house as inviting as possible is ensuring that guests feel comfortable and welcome. Creating a guest suite that feels inviting can help make guests feel at home during their visit. While you can do this by stocking up on cozy blankets and towels, you shouldn’t underestimate the power of a warm, nurturing wall color. For example, the Timeless Beauty Color Collection from HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams, instilled with a sense of classic coziness, is full of pleasant shades that can be mixed and matched to create your perfectly coordinated, desired vibe.

Tips for Cleaning Outdoor Spaces Over time, the appearance and function of any outdoor space can dull due to combinations of heat, precipitation and use. With some careful attention, you can quickly spruce up your outdoor living areas and get them back in great working order for patio season.
Take Care of Textiles Outdoor textiles often take a beating from the elements. Freshen up often-overlooked things like outdoor rugs, lawn furniture cushions, pillows and umbrellas. A thorough vacuuming may be adequate to remove leaves, bugs or dirt. However, if stubborn spots persist and a deeper cleaning is needed, review the manufacturer’s guidelines. Washing covered furniture from time to time helps ensure it’s ready for use no matter the season. 82 Pensacola Magazine
Declare Dust Off-Limits Dingy light fixtures and fans lend an air of disrepair in any space. Outdoors, they’ll undoubtedly collect dust and dirt quickly, but a deep clean can help make them easier to maintain. Dust and scrub as needed, and if necessary, grab a scrub brush and some soapy water to brighten up other items like decorative pieces and flower pots. Freshen Up Finishes From furniture to hard surfaces, the finishes can take a beating. Take time to bring these items back to their former glory by rinsing, scrubbing and brushing dirt away from your wrought iron, metal, aluminum or wicker furniture. If needed, apply a fresh coat of sealant or add a rust-preventive layer of new paint. The same applies for
other surfaces with finishes that may be chipped and dull. Blast Away Grime A careful sweeping with a sturdy broom is a good starting point, but to get your outdoor space truly clean you may need a little more power. When used at the appropriate settings, a pressure washer can clean a wide range of surfaces from patios, decks and sidewalks to siding, windows, screens and tables. When cleaning these surfaces, it’s important to find a power washer that can cut through the grime and rinse it away. In addition to gas-powered options, Briggs & Stratton offers a full line of electric pressure washers to help you tackle light-duty outdoor cleaning projects around the house. Some models, like the S1800, feature a turbo
nozzle to give you the ability to blast away grime up to 40 percent faster than with a standard spray tip. When that power is combined with an onboard detergent tank, you can eliminate outdoor grime quickly and efficiently, so you can get back to enjoying your outdoor living space. Getting started is simple. Just turn on the washer and begin with a rinse setting to loosen dirt and debris. Next, use the soap nozzle to apply the detergent in the tank. You may want to let the detergent sit for especially grimy areas, depending on the detergent’s directions for use. Rinse thoroughly and repeat the process if needed.

3 Kitchen and Bath Trends for
2018
When it’s time for a home remodel, specifically of a bathroom or kitchen, many homeowners turn to trendy looks as inspiration. Color, texture and material variance, like using different types of tile, lead the way in this year’s kitchen and bath trends. To help amplify the look and appeal of your space, consider these tips from the experts at the National Association of the Remodeling Industry:
Try Different Shades
White is classic, crisp and always in style, while gray also provides a traditional look. Many designers pair white or gray cabinets, tile and wall color with a pop of color to add interest without overwhelming the space. There are many ways to introduce color, such as a bright island or items that are easily switched out like window treatments and artwork. Combining different shades of white, gray and other neutral colors like beige is an effective way to create a warm and inviting space. One important note to consider when mixing these hues is that they need to be in the same color family. When incorporating white and gray, go for colors that have the same base – either yellow or blue. Mixing a yellow-gray with a blue-white can result in discord that may not “feel” right. A qualified remodeler who has experience in design can provide expert advice and guide the decisionmaking process to help avoid costly mistakes.

Consider Various Tile Types
can be difficult to know where to start. Subway tile, a classic standby, can be invigorated by arranging the rectangular 3-by-6-inch shapes in patterns like herringbone or basket weave. This versatile tile can be used in both traditional kitchens and bathrooms as well as transitional or more contemporary spaces.
Scale provides another way to create interest. To achieve a mosaic feel, look for 1-by-1-foot tiles prepped on larger 12-by-12-foot sheets. Sometimes these sheets include a pre-defined pattern that can help simplify installation.
Many manufacturers now include textured tile, featuring patterns that carry the look of wood grain; tiles are also available in three-dimensional textures adding movement and interest with easy care. For example, using a variety of gray hues can create a relaxing and warm environment.
Another popular treatment in kitchens and bathrooms is to use different types of tile and surface stone. Incorporating tile of different shapes and texture such as quartz, marble or granite can energize even the smallest space.
Pick Alternate Patterns
Tile options are available in many varieties, so it
