For most homebuyers, their dream homes are not something they’re likely to find already on the market. With a unique vision of your dream home’s look, location and features, building a custom home is generally the easiest way to make that dream a reality.

to keep things moving as smoothly as possible amid what can be a complicated process, consider these tips as you embark on the journey.

Set a Realistic

Budget

you’ll need to start by determining how much you can spend on your house. typically, the cost of building a home is around $100-$200 per square foot, according to research from Home a dvisor. you’ll also need to account for the lot price as well as design fees, taxes, permits, materials and labor. m aterials and labor should make up about 75% of the total amount spent, but it’s wise to build in a buffer for price changes and overages.

While building your budget, consider what items and features are “musthaves” and things that should only be included if your budget allows.

Identify the Perfect Location think about where you’d like to live and research comparable lots and properties in those areas, which can give you a better idea of costs. Because the features of many dream homes require a wider footprint, you may need to build outside of city limits, which can make natural gas more difficult to access. Consider propane instead, which can do everything natural gas can and go where natural gas cannot or where it is cost prohibitive to run a natural gas line. Propane also reduces dependence on the electrical grid, and a propane standby generator can safeguard your family if there is a power outage.

“as a real estate agent and builder, i have the pleasure of helping families select their dream homes,” said matt Blashaw, residential contractor, licensed real estate agent and host of HGtV’s “Build it Forward.” “the homes we design and build are frequently in propane country, or off the natural gas grid. Propane makes it possible to build an affordable and comfortable, highperforming indoor living spaces and dynamic outdoor entertaining areas.”

Keep Universal Design Principles in Mind m any homebuyers want to ensure their space is accessible to family members and guests both now and for decades to come. a s the housing market slows and mortgage rates rise, buyers may look to incorporate features that allow them to age in place. i ncorporating principles of universal design – the ability of a space to be understood, accessed and used by people regardless of their age or ability – can make it possible to still enjoy your home even if mobility, vision or other challenges arise as you age.

For example, the entryway could have a ramp or sloped concrete walkway leading to a front door wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair with a barrier-free threshold. inside, wider hallways and doorways, strategic lighting and appliances installed at lower heights are mainstays of universal design. Counters of varying heights, drop-down cabinet racks and roll-under sinks in kitchens and zero-entry showers, slip-resistant flooring and grab bars in bathrooms offer enhanced accessibility.

Consider Alternative Energy Sources

With today’s electric grid, more than two-thirds of the energy is wasted; it never reaches homes. u nlike electricity, propane is stored in a large tank either above or below ground on the property. a 500-gallon tank can hold enough propane to meet the annual energy needs of an average single-family home –enough to power major systems in a home.

Propane pairs well with other energy sources, including grid electricity and on-site solar, which makes it a viable option for dual-energy homes. l ike

natural gas, propane can power major appliances such as your furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, fireplace, range and standby generator. Often, propane works more efficiently with fewer greenhouse gas emissions

than electricity, meaning your home is cleaner for the environment.

Propane can even power a whole-home standby generator, which is often a big selling point. When a homeowner purchases a standby generator, a licensed electrician installs the unit outside the home and wires it to the home’s circuit breaker. When a power outage occurs, the generator automatically senses the disruption of service and starts the generator’s engine, which then delivers power to the home. From the warm, comfortable heat of a propane furnace to the peace of mind offered by a propane standby generator, many homeowners trust propane to provide a safe, efficient, whole-home energy solution.

Build a Team of Experts

Hiring the right people can make the process of turning your dream into reality go much smoother. start by researching reputable builders, paying special attention to the types of homes they build to find a style that matches what you’re looking for as well as price ranges for past homes they’ve built. Consider how long the builders have been in business and if they’re licensed and insured.

Depending on your builder’s capabilities, you may also need to hire an architect or designer. in addition to your real estate agent to assist with purchasing the lot and selling your previous home, you may need assistance from other professionals, such as a real estate attorney, landscape architect and propane supplier. a local propane supplier can work with the builder to install a properly sized propane storage tank either above or below ground and connect appliances.

you may be surprised to learn propane can power major appliances, which can increase the value of a home because of their high performance, efficiency and reduced dependence on the electrical grid.

Furnace

a propane-powered furnace has a 50% longer lifespan than an electric heat pump, reducing its overall lifetime costs. Propane-powered residential furnaces also emit up to 50% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than electric furnaces and 12% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than furnaces running on oil-based fuels.

Boiler

Propane boilers have an expected lifespan of up to 30 years, but many can last longer if serviced and maintained properly. High-efficiency propane boilers offer performance, space savings and versatility as well as a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to those fueled by heating oil.

Standby Generator

Propane standby generators supply supplemental electricity in as little as 10 seconds after an outage. Plus, propane doesn’t degrade over time, unlike diesel or gasoline, making it an ideal standby power fuel.

Clothes Dryer

Propane-powered clothes dryers generate up to 42% fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to electric dryers. they also dry clothes faster, which can reduce energy use and cost.

Range

With up to 15% fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to electric ranges, propane-powered ranges also allow for greater control of heat levels. Plus, their instant flame turnoff capabilities help them cool faster.

Tankless Water Heater

Propane tankless water heaters have the lowest annual cost of ownership in mixed and cold united states climates when compared with electric water heaters, heat pump water heaters and oil-fueled water heaters. they also only heat water when it is needed, reducing standby losses that come with storage tank water heaters.

feeling estranged, conflicted, and often unwanted.

Father Chuck Vohs, the congregation’s Priest, would say to those who feel left outside the circle ~ come, you are a Child of God and you are welcome here. Come to be replenished, edified, supported, and uplifted.

In a world that, at times, seems adrift and full of confusing messages, finding a faith community of fellow believers is more important than ever. For those whose beliefs are grounded in the Catholic faith but who have felt increasingly unwelcome in the traditional church, finding such a faith community takes on extra urgency.

This is what is bringing congregants from around the state to The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux in West Warwick.

The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux is a Catholic Community that functions outside the jurisdiction of Rome. This embracing community is guided by this mission: To make our faith experience relevant by being an inclusive, ministrycentered community that makes the living Jesus present in our world in a radical way.

The mission of “Saint T’s”

(as it is affectionately known) is simply stated: “To welcome ALL; To be the Body of Christ; To be growing disciples who are growing disciples.”

What does it look like to be a “growing disciple”? It looks like someone who lives what they preach and who follows in the path of Jesus Christ, serving, loving, accepting, and welcoming.

Those who attend Saint “T’s” will feel welcome there. They see families of all shapes & sizes, they see women in the clergy, they see divorcees participating in all the rituals and blessings their married and single friends enjoy, they hear contemporary music, they see those who extend kindness and love to them.

The church is a haven for those whose abiding faith in the teachings of Jesus Christ have not always been in alignment with the expectations of the church of their childhoods, leaving them

A quick peruse of the chapel’s website best sums up the church’s overarching philosophy: “The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux welcomes all individuals seeking God’s love; we keep our doors open to every soul seeking to welcome Jesus into their hearts. We invite you to open your heart and allow His grace to penetrate your soul.

Our church stands as a beacon of hope in West Warwick. We are a place of acceptance, peace, and joy to all who are moved to join us. Our church family is richly diverse, with people of different ages and backgrounds coming together to worship and serve together.”

For more details, check the church website at www. go1500.org.

Please come to “Saint T’s”, located at 1500 Main Street in West Warwick. Services are every Sunday at 10:30, either in person or via Zoom. Sunday rosaries begin at 9:45am. Feel free to call 401-680-9076 or email stocc1500@gmail.com for more information.

TREASURES

An Identified Confederate Officer’s

Military clothing has always fascinated me. Thirty years ago, I began studying Civil War uniforms and reproducing some of them for historical interpretation. Surviving Confederate uniforms are fairly rare, and when they are identified it adds a great human element to them.

I received a uniform from a museum who had deaccessioned it as it was not related to their mission. The records as well as the name written in the back of the coat and the pocket of the trousers identify it as belonging to Johnston De Lagnel. He was born in New York in 1831 to a military family. His father, Julius Adolphus De Lagnel was an army ordnance officer who died in 1840. In his youth, Johnston ended up in Alexandria, Virginia with his brother, Julius Adolphus De Lagnel. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, both brothers joined the Confederacy.

Johnston was a captain in the 20th Battalion Virginia Artillery and manned heavy guns around Yorktown, Virginia in 1861 and 1862. By late 1863, he was stationed in Charleston, South Carolina. While there, he had C.D. Carr, a tailor on Broad Street, make him this

uniform as the original receipt was still in the pocket. There are a handful of surviving uniforms made by Carr and they have some distinct features. Sadly, De Lagnel didn’t have much of a chance to wear his new uniform as he died on April 7, 1864, of pneumonia and his body was shipped by steamer back to Alexandria.

The coat is made from cadet gray superfine broadcloth with bright red superfine broadcloth collar, cuffs, and piping. The cut of the front around the chest is a Carr signature. The coat has some Confederate staff buttons; however, someone stole some of the buttons off the front when it was being displayed at some point. The lining is green wool/silk blend, and the sleeves are plain woven white cotton. The collar has another Carr feature: gold embroidery to denote a captain. The sleeves are adorned with two rows of gold galloon. The trousers are made from the same cadet gray with bright red welts set into the out seams. The cotton watch pocket is marked on the outside “Capt. J De Lagnel” and has the inseam and waist measurements on the back side of the bag.

One of the very cool things about this uniform is the original receipt for its purchase from C.D. Carr. It is dated January 20, 1864, and he was charged $200.00 Confederate for making and trimming the coat, and $30.00 for the trousers. Although the uniform could be attributed to Carr, the receipt is the icing on the cake. It does need a little conservation work and some replaced buttons, but it is still a wonderful piece of Civil War history that has survived the ravages of time …and the moths.

• To bring out the natural sweetness of corn on the cob, try sprinkling a little bit in the pot after the water has come to a boil.

• If the scar of a cantaloupe is rough or has a stem attached, the melon was picked too early and won’t ripen as good as one with a smooth scar. Also, check the net pattern over the outside; it should be even and an overall tan-yellow color, not green or mottled.

• You can remove berry stains from your fingers with lemon juice. Got berry juice on your tablecloth? Here’s E.B. of Mississippi’s suggestion: “Pour a generous amount of milk on the spot, let it soak for 15 minutes or more. Then soak in cold water with soap for an hour or more. Wash, rinse and dry.”

• Soak raisins in cold water before chopping so that they won’t stick to your knife.

• “Use celery ribs lined up to create a base for your roast. This way, the juices move around more and the roast never sticks to the pan. I serve the celery with the roast, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to.” — A.T. in Tennessee

• Need to chill some drinks for a party fast? Pile on the ice, of course, then add the secret weapon: water. Icy water chills drinks quicker than placing them in ice alone. The heat is transferred from the warm drinks to the water because there’s total contact. Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.
