How much would it cost to add on two rooms to my house?
Q. I live in Oklahoma (not sure if that matters) and my parents are thinking of adding two bedrooms to their house. One to use as a guest bedroom and the other for an office. Both the size of descent kids bedrooms, nothing huge. My dad and husband are going to be doing most of the work and labor. Anyone one know an estimate of how much the total cost for materials would be?
A. A typical construction with the most basic of interior finishes, start at around $80 per square foot and easily rise to $200 per square foot with custom cherry cabinets, hardwood floors, Mahogany baseboard & trim and cedar door & window , wool carpet, imported tiles, spa bath, custom showers, etc.
Other factors to contribute to any cost would be the ease of access to the site with more difficult sites easily rising by 10%-15% and the availability of labor, number of windows, roof type & covering, single storey or double (if you have a double storey house and put the bedroom on top of each other it cheaper than 2 bedrooms at ground level because less roof to build & cover, less footing to dig & pour concrete and so on)
Well, you get the idea, unless you have a specific idea of quality of materials/interior finishes and detail of site layout, location and availability of labor any answer would be a guess.
I�m guessing around $70 sq ft to put 2 bedrooms at ground level with no plumbing, if you�re going to need an on suite that would bump that up to around $90 sq ft if not more.

i need an adivce i will buy a new home but i cant decide on flooring?

and why? experienced ideas plz thanks
and why? experienced ideas plz thanks
A. It might be practical to consider using several different flooring materials depending on the layout of your house. Changes in flooring, like changes in ceiling height, (among other things), are a great way to define spaces. Perhaps you might consider a marble/granite tile in your entry areas, hardwood in the common gathering spaces, and carpeting in the bedrooms. Tile also works best in bathrooms for its resistance to moisture and ease of cleaning. If you do go with tile for you bathrooms you might want to also consider radiant floor heating...especially in the master bath. It's definitely an upgrade but guaranteed you'll appreciate it on cold winter mornings.
Things to consider: Is your house a single story? If so, use natural architectural elements to help determine changes in flooring. Does it make sense to have the flooring continue between two rooms or is there a logical place to stop and start it? Threshholds can be put across doorways to create smoothe transitions. If you house is multi-story staircases make logical breaking points. Perhaps using hardwood on the stairs and halls below and above. A stair runner carpet would allow for additional design interest. If there is a common hallway connecting the bedrooms then continue the hardwood there as well. This would allow you to have different (or the same if your prefer) carpet in each of the bedrooms. This is great if you ever decide one particular room needs a change of carpet but don't want to go to the expense of recarpeting everything. If you're doing kids rooms or perhaps a basement or game room, consider carpet tiles. They're easy to install, easily replaced should the need arise, and come in a vast array of styles and price points. I like FLOR. Check them out at the website below. Congratulations on the new house.

Ideas for putting both kids in the same room?
Q. We are expecting #2 in May 2012 and we want to put them both in the same room. Any ideas about getting this all together? The room is fairly small but there is room for two beds regardless. At what age is best to start having baby sleep in the room? My son will be 3 once #2 is born :) I'm also trying to come up with a plan for the layout of the room.
A. We have two babies (20 month old son and 5 month old daughter) they share a room. Its suggested babies should sleep in parents bedroom until six months, however i've known people to put baby in their own room from birth! We chose to put our daughter in the same room as her brother when she was about 3 and a half months. One reason being you're a lot more confident with your second (with our first he was in our room until about 8 months, we were too scared to move him into his own!) also she was waking every time we came to bed, otherwise she wouldn't have woken up so we knew if she was in her own room she'd have undisturbed sleep.
Our kids room isn't the biggest room known to man, we have a cot bed on each side of the room, a good distance apart so that if our dear son decides to throw his beaker from his cot it won't hit her! When our daughter wakes up occasionally through the night our son doesn't wake up, he could sleep through an earthquake. However when one wakes up in the morning the other one automatically does, where as when they were in separate bedrooms one would sleep a bit longer than the other.

Help with a display case for home care month?
Q. We have been chosen to do a display case for home care month. I am just looking for some creative ideas. We are thinking about doing cut outs of newborns, kids, adults, elderly, and all type of housing environments. Along with some FYI's about home care and thank you letters. Any creative ideas???
A. ...as I am now up to my eyeballs in elder care, within my Dad's home, might I suggest a layout which would stress ambulation by whatever means necessary to assure that the patient has skin protection from decubiti. I would start with a flow chart that might include Get up, get out of bed, dress, get to kitchen, eat breakfast, get to sitting room, entertain visiting nurse, get to kitchen eat lunch, nap, get up to reading room, read an hour, entertain bath aide, get to kitchen, eat dinner, get to sitting room, get to bedroom and get some sleep- At each point along the way, have representative devices and tools that make the job easier.
You might have representative styles of walkers, wheelchairs, seat pads, OT adaptive aides for dressing- you get the idea. Stress the need to maintain function, making the patient do what they can, rather than doing things for them. Stress safety. Stress mental health of care giver. Stress the value of care within the home, as opposed to nursing home care. Stress the ultimate satisfaction a care giver can find in the lucid moments.
