It makes it possible to use plugins that extend that screen, add old-style meta boxes, or otherwise depend on the previous editor. Classic Editor is an official WordPress plugin, and will be fully supported and maintained until 2024, or as long as is necessary. At a glance, this plugin adds the following: * Administrators can select the default editor for all users. * Administrators can allow users to change their default editor. * When allowed, the users can choose which editor to use for each post. * Each post opens in the last editor used regardless of who edited it last. This is important for maintaining a consistent experience when editing content. In addition, the Classic Editor plugin includes several filters that let other plugins control the settings, and the editor choice per post and per post type. By default, this plugin hides all functionality available in the new block editor ("Gutenberg"). == Changelog == = 1.6.3 = * Added some WPCS fixes, props NicktheGeek on GitHub. * Updated "Tested up to" in the readme and removed it from classic-editor.php.

Much of our attention is spent on organizing and designing aspects of our humble abodes. And aside from the physical structure of the house, landscaping plays an important role in the overall feel and design.  After all, the front yard is the first impression that visitors receive. Recent surveys conducted by Harris Poll for the National Association of Landscape Professionals found that 75% of Americans believe time spent out in their yards is important. So it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the landscaping industry is quoted as a $75 billion/year industry. In California, given the intense, record-breaking drought that has been ravaging lawns and greenery and has nearly exhausted our scarce water resources, landscaping takes a bit of extra thought and precaution.

It is not atypical for counties to report that over 60% of residential water supplies go toward landscaping. That is an astounding rate. And it also makes landscaping the ideal candidate to look for ways to manage and conserve water usage.  Particularly in California, movements have sprouted that encourage homeowners to practice water-wise landscaping techniques. These measures promote the use of efficient irrigation systems, drought resistant plants, climate-appropriate designs, and the importance of being informed and educated about the various techniques currently being used.

To encourage the use of water-wise landscaping designs, cities have taken the first initiative. Cities have been offering rebates to those who have replaced their lawns with drought resistant designs that help counteract their declining water supplies. Several municipalities have even taken to their political leverage to establish contests that reward homeowners who have incorporated water-wise landscaping designs. Some companies have also extended their aid to promote drought resistant plants, offering free installations of drought resistant landscapes to eliminate water waste.

So when considering landscape renovations, it is vital to plan and coordinate between the site and the plants that you wish to use. It’s recommended to draw out a site plan that details shapes, sizes, and borders of your garden. All aspects of your renovation should be kept in mind, including any hardscaping, irrigation, seating, entertainment, even your choice of plants. When matching the right plants with the right site conditions, the use of additional resources, such as water or pesticides, will be minimized. This is why climate plays a huge role in developing efficient landscapes and irrigation systems. And given the current drought, it underscores the importance of using plants that resist drought conditions to further minimize the use of water.

Water is an immeasurably valuable commodity that must be protected and conserved. We can all do our part to help eliminate the unnecessary waste of water, even by simply incorporating these incredible techniques that help reduce consumption and help make the world a better place.

Living in a house that your family has outgrown, or that doesn’t suit your needs the way it used to. Or perhaps you acquired a house with many of the features you coveted in spite of the fact that it seems to be missing something. Ultimately, there are many reasons to add a room to your house.

If you want to explore your options for a home addition, it’s important to see the big picture and understand what changes will improve the home your most—and all the benefits you might be able to gain from a new room. You may have one idea in mind already, but here are 24 reasons why a home addition could be valuable for you (and future buyers!).

 

Property Value

  1. You want your home improvements to bring return value.
  2. A lot of other houses in the neighborhood are bigger than yours.
  3. Your house lacks key features that today’s home buyers expect.
  4. The backyard doesn’t add as much value as more square footage would.
  5. An extra bathroom would make the home more comfortable overall.
  6. A home addition would cost less than moving and buying a bigger place.

Lifestyle Changes

  1. You’re not using the backyard and you’d prefer more space.
  2. Arts, crafts, or other hobbies are taking over other rooms.
  3. Your income has increased since buying the house, but you really like the neighborhood.
  4. You want to start a home business or telecommute from a home office.
  5. Having a luxurious home entertainment room sounds a lot better than schlepping out to the movie theater.
  6. There’s too much stuff! Add a guest bedroom with storage solutions.

Family Matters

  1. You seem to have more babies than you expected!
  2. Tweens and teens are spreading out and need their space and privacy.
  3. Your adult children seem to be coming home to the nest.
  4. Your adult children are married with children but want to be your new roommates.
  5. Elderly parents can come live with you instead of living alone or in an old folks’ home.
  6. You’d like to have all the cousins stay with you at the holidays.

Home Additions that Just Feel Right

  1. You’re not using attic space that could be converted and finished.
  2. All or some of the house is one-story. Building up can be easier than building out.
  3. You have garage space to spare and would prefer to finish it.
  4. You bought the house for an irresistible price, but it didn’t really have all the rooms you need.
  5. Expanding the master bedroom would turn it into a true suite.
  6. There’s an awkward shape or feel to the house that you want to alter.
