There are many sources with different information on water restoration. The one I found most helpful is Asheville Watchdog here. The overall advice I’m seeing is the following. The only addition I’ve seen out there from friends and plumbers is to run water through your outdoor hose bid rather than your tub to start.

What to do before water service returns:

• Flip off the breaker to your water heater. 

• Turn off water to your water heater. 

• Turn off hot water under your sinks. 

• Remove aerator (it typically unscrews) on faucets. 

• Turn off the ice maker.

• Turn off water to your whole house filter, if you have one.

What to do when your water service returns

• Flush your home plumbing by running the bathtub’s cold water faucet.

• Your water heater may be turned back on once your home’s plumbing has been flushed.

• It’s safe to flush your toilet after completing steps 1 and 2.

I’ve had many friends and family ask how they can help from a distance. Where can they contribute? Here are some of the places I’ve seen being affective or close to my own heart. BeLoved Asheville is an energetic and well run machine. I’ve heard nothing but good things about their efforts at this time. Go HERE to donate. Blue Ridge Public Radio has a list of great places taking donation. See that HERE. Near and dear to my own heart is help for our artist community which was particularly hard hit. They are a part of what makes Asheville the vibrant and creative town it is. Go HERE to help them. Any help anywhere is great. Pick what works for you. Cheers!

Hello! If you're considering a renovation for your midcentury or modern home, you're in the right place. Dwell magazine recently featured an insightful article on modern flooring options. Both Kelly and I have been busy with renovations, and I’ve discovered that my vintage 1950s home was more suited for a vintage-style marmoleum while Kelly chose Cork. However, if your home is more recently built, you might find other flooring materials to be a better fit. Check out the full article [here].

We are wishing everyone a super safe and restful holiday for those of you who are able to do so. Breathe. We honor everyone’s hard work for the benefit of us all. Cheers! Kelly and Troy
