Fix the focus of your bathroom

Many homes in America have a dirty little secret - a dated, dingy, dark and dysfunctional bathroom. While the average return on investment of a bathroom remodel is 80 to 90 percent, the average cost -$10,000 to $12,000 -can easily put the brakes on the project before it's even started.

The largest focal point in most bathrooms is the bathtub or shower. sprucing up the main focus freshens up the entire bathroom for a fraction of the price of a remodel.

One popular option is to reglaze, or reprint, your exsisting bathtub. This is one way to cover up chips or cracks. In some cases, you can even use it to change the color.

• When you call, have this information handy: The name and number on your KUB account, your phone number, street address, and outage details of downed trees or power lines.
• To prepare for an outage, keep an emergency kit (a battery-powered radio, flashlight, batteries, candles, matches, a can opener, and fire extinguisher). Stock up on food and water.

You can better cope with any of these emergencies if you know what to do. If you planned ahead, put your plan into action. If you didn’t, use the following steps to help you handle the emergency.

In the Dark
If it’s nighttime, locate your flashlights. You will be able to see what you’re doing, and circumstances will seem less threatening. Keep any flames away from walls, furniture, curtains, children, and pets.

Neighbors
Look to see if their lights are off. If not, the problem might be confined to your home.

Telephone
Try it. It may be working because the telephone system is operated on a separate electrical circuit. Remember, however, that cordless phones operate off the electrical system and will not work if the power is off.

Fuses & Breakers
Check them. If they are okay and your telephone is working, call KUB. Give your address and details of how long the power has been off.

Warning
Stay away from downed power lines and trees with power lines touching them. Make sure that no one, especially children, goes near them. Even lines that look harmless can be very dangerous. Just note the location and call KUB immediately.

Electric Appliances
Turn off all the appliances that were on at the time of the outage, especially heat pumps, air-conditioners, and electric heating. This will prevent an overload on the system when the power comes back on. Leave a light on so you’ll know when service is back. Remember to turn the systems back on when the power is restored.

Information
Turn on your battery-operated portable radio and listen for information about weather conditions or an update from KUB. If possible, call your neighbors and find out if they have information about the emergency.
