=== Classic Editor === Contributors: wordpressdotorg, azaozz, melchoyce, chanthaboune, alexislloyd, pento, youknowriad, desrosj, luciano-croce Tags: gutenberg, disable, disable gutenberg, editor, classic editor, block editor Requires at least: 4.9 Tested up to: 6.2 Stable tag: 1.6.3 Requires PHP: 5.2.4 License: GPLv2 or later License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html Enables the previous "classic" editor and the old-style Edit Post screen with TinyMCE, Meta Boxes, etc. Supports all plugins that extend this screen. == Description == Classic Editor is an official plugin maintained by the WordPress team that restores the previous ("classic") WordPress editor and the "Edit Post" screen. 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. This should fix false positive errors in security plugins in the future. = 1.6.2 = * Fixed bug that was preventing saving of the last used editor. = 1.6.1 = * Fixed a warning on the block editor based widgets screen. * Fixed use of a deprecated filter. = 1.6 = * Updated for WordPress 5.5. * Fixed minor issues with calling deprecated functions, needlessly registering uninstall hook, and capitalization of some strings. = 1.5 = * Updated for WordPress 5.2 and Gutenberg 5.3. * Enhanced and fixed the "open posts in the last editor used to edit them" logic. * Fixed adding post state so it can easily be accessed from other plugins. = 1.4 = * On network installations removed the restriction for only network activation. * Added support for network administrators to choose the default network-wide editor. * Fixed the settings link in the warning on network About screen. * Properly added the "Switch to classic editor" menu item to the block editor menu. = 1.3 = * Fixed removal of the "Try Gutenberg" dashboard widget. * Fixed condition for displaying of the after upgrade notice on the "What's New" screen. Shown when the classic editor is selected and users cannot switch editors. = 1.2 = * Fixed switching editors from the Add New (post) screen before a draft post is saved. * Fixed typo that was appending the edit URL to the `classic-editor` query var. * Changed detecting of WordPress 5.0 to not use version check. Fixes a bug when testing 5.1-alpha. * Changed the default value of the option to allow users to switch editors to false. * Added disabling of the Gutenberg plugin and lowered the required WordPress version to 4.9. * Added `classic_editor_network_default_settings` filter. = 1.1 = Fixed a bug where it may attempt to load the block editor for post types that do not support editor when users are allowed to switch editors. = 1.0 = * Updated for WordPress 5.0. * Changed all "Gutenberg" names/references to "block editor". * Refreshed the settings UI. * Removed disabling of the Gutenberg plugin. This was added for testing in WordPress 4.9.

Can be used by other plugins to override the settings and disable the settings UI. = 0.5 = * Updated for Gutenberg 4.1 and WordPress 5.0-beta1. * Removed some functionality that now exists in Gutenberg. * Fixed redirecting back to the classic editor after looking at post revisions. = 0.4 = * Fixed removing of the "Try Gutenberg" call-out when the Gutenberg plugin is not activated. * Fixed to always show the settings and the settings link in the plugins list table. * Updated the readme text. = 0.3 = * Updated the option from a checkbox to couple of radio buttons, seems clearer. Thanks to @designsimply for the label text suggestions. * Some general updates and cleanup. = 0.2 = * Update for Gutenberg 1.9. * Remove warning and automatic deactivation when Gutenberg is not active. = 0.1 = Initial release. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Default settings = When activated and when using a classic (non-block) theme, this plugin will restore the previous ("classic") WordPress editor and hide the new block editor ("Gutenberg"). These settings can be changed at the Settings => Writing screen. = Default settings for network installation = There are two options: * When network-activated and when using a classic (non-block) theme, this plugin will set the classic editor as default and prevent site administrators and users from changing editors.

Now that summer is here, there’s no greater time than now to make strides toward improving your home. As your Los Angeles general contractor, we’d like to provide you with some summer renovation tips for both improving your home and making it more valuable.

Our Summer Renovation Tips

Some of our summer renovation tips that we at JNO Construction & Design recommend include the following:

  • First, inspect your home and identify your areas that require renovation.
  • Also, make sure that you understand the cost of your project. It’s important to know whether your renovation project will be worth it before you begin.
  • Summer is typically the best time to paint your house. There will be less of a chance of rain or snow, meaning that the paint will have more time to dry, allowing you to keep yourself from having to repaint and spend more time and money.
  • This is also a perfect time to take care of your garden. The external elements won’t be as much of a factor, meaning that you can keep the garden looking beautiful.
  • Unfortunately, summer is also a popular time for break-ins as well. You’ll want to make sure that you have sturdy and secure doors in addition to a security system. Security systems won’t simply keep your house and family safe – they’ll add value to your home as well.
  • One of the simplest ways you can make a big return on a small investment is by upgrading your backyard. An addition of a deck can add more living space and it’s relatively cheap and ideal for any type of backyard.
  • Utilize the warm weather to replace any faulty or subpar windows that you may have. Replacing your windows can allow your house to be more energy efficient.

If you’re thinking about having your house constructed, we’re glad to give you some tips on how to help make your dream home become a reality.

Our Tips for Constructing Your Dream Home

If you’re in the process of constructing a dream home or even just considering it, we’d like to recommend that you follow these tips:

  • Make sure to plan out your dream home beforehand and sketch what you’re looking for in a house. It’s a very simple process that only requires a pencil and a piece of paper. It will help the home design team understand what you’re looking for in your dream home.
  • Take into account your current and future lifestyle needs and habits when designing your home. This can include whether you have kids or want kids and also whether you’re planning to retire in your home.
  • Make sure to properly consider the amount of space needed in your house. This is a common mistake for many people when designing their home. You’ll want to have enough storage space, though adding too much room for storage will take away from your living space.
  • Try not to add extra rooms that you won’t have a consistent usage for. A personal gym room may be nice, but if you’ll rarely ever use it, then it’s just a waste.
  • Because sunlight can have such a positive effect on an individual’s mood, it’s vital to consider light sources in every room. Not only should light fixtures be plentiful, but windows should be present in every room as well.
  • You may want to consider landscapes and scenery that are low-maintenance. Placing artificial grass along with shrubs and trees that don’t shed much will keep you from having to spend so much time grooming your yard.
  • Most importantly, hire the right construction team! Your house will almost certainly be your most important asset, which is why it’s critical to hire a qualified construction team. We at JNO Construction & Design are highly-regarded in Southern California and we’re glad to help you construct your dream home!

Our Ten Tips For Living Room Renovation

If you’re going to be renovating your living room, we recommend abiding by these ten simple tips:

  • First, take your budget into consideration. Make sure to not go overboard and plan according to your budget.
  • Also, consider how much time it will take to complete the renovation. Many people assume it can be completed in just a day’s work, but this can take much more time, meaning that you should be prepared.
  • Before starting the renovation, try to have everything planned out ahead of time. It’s not a good idea to try to renovate the room as you go.
  • Take into account that you may not have access to the living room while it’s being renovated so grab everything you may need from the room beforehand.
  • One of the most important choices you’ll have to make is deciding on the color of the living room. This will set the entire mood of the room.
  • The lighting is another important feature of your living room; it can give your room an entirely different feel and also draw attention to any of your room’s more important features. This can include overhead lights, lamps, and sunlight from the windows.
  • Think about what you want the focal point of your living room to be. This can be a fireplace, a big screen television, or something else.
  • If you have kids or pets, take care to make sure that they won’t disrupt the ongoing project.
  • While it may not be the most important part of the renovation, one of the finishing touches of the room will be to think about how you’ll want to accessorize and decorate the room with artwork and paintings.
  • Find a contractor you can trust. Renovating your living room is a major task and one with results that you’ll likely live with for many years of your life.

We don’t only offer Los Angeles kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling – we offer a wide variety of services that are sure to suit your home remodeling needs. One of these services that we’re proud to provide is room addition.  As your trusted Los Angeles general contractor, we’d like to give you a list of ten things to know if you’re planning on adding a room to your house.

Ten Things to Know About Adding a Room

Here are ten of the most important things to know or think about when adding a room:

  • The average cost of adding a room is just over $40,000 so be ready to spend the necessary money on this endeavor.
  • If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, you can install a sun room, a budget-friendly addition to a house.
  • Consult with an architect beforehand to make sure that the design is cohesive with the rest of the building.
  • Find a trustworthy contractor. They’ll take a normally difficult process and simplify it, which is especially useful if you don’t have construction knowledge.
  • Make sure that you or your contractor go over your town’s rules so that you don’t break anything, such as a height limit if you’re planning on expanding upward.
  • Understand that this is a process that can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Be prepared to take the precautions necessary, even if it has to include sleeping elsewhere for the time being.
  • Take into account how much space you’ll have to add for your new room.
  • Make sure that the room will add value to your house and then determine how much value it will add.
  • Because the room will add value to your house, it will also raise your taxes.
  • If you’re adding a ground-level room, you’ll want to keep the floor of the new room at the same level as the floor of the rest of the house.

Remodeling takes a significant investment of time, energy, and money, and the process can quickly run over schedule and over budget. But these costs are not sunk into just anything. Remodeling can also provide a great return on investment (ROI) in the form of increased value to your home. But what kinds of remodeling provide the greatest return?

Materials Matter

As with all things, the return on investment you can expect to see from a remodeling project varies by place and design. Remodeling things like the basement generally offer little to no additional resale value, while attic insulation or a kitchen and bathroom remodel can provide significant recoupment of investment. Even within these categories, the style and design of the remodel matters. For kitchen and bathroom remodeling, going for a low scale design or one with little change does not produce significant return on investment, while remodeling to a more upscale layout, with things like granite countertops, can produce significant returns.

Ultimately, the ROI you see from a remodeling project is only part of the benefits of remodeling. The real benefit comes from the increased joy you get from your home, and a kitchen or bathroom remodel provides both increased livability and a healthy return.

However, in reality a bathroom remodeling job is typically a rather large undertaking that requires much planning, thought, and hard work. Here at JNO Construction & Design, we understand this process, and we work tirelessly to ensure that every part of your home receives the attention that a full design and build project requires. Here are some things you should know before you start tearing up flooring and removing tiles. Knowing this information before you start can help you get the bathroom of your dreams without busting your budget.

Assess Your Needs

Before you start planning your bathroom remodeling project, take the time to assess your needs. Identify the key reasons for updating your bathroom that may include things like needing more space, the fixtures being outdated, the tub being too small, and such. This makes it easier to choose the right bathroom features you need and want.

Make A Plan & Stick To It

Any reputable Los Angeles contractor will tell you that a bathroom remodeling project is not a project to undertake “on the fly”. Before you even rip out one tile, think carefully about how you wish to use the space, what materials and fixtures you want, and how much money you are willing to spend. If you are not a good planner, ask us at JNO Construction & Design, your local Los Angeles building renovation service, for some help. Look at the money spent on a professional’s advice as a sound investment that is helping you avoid both project and budget nightmares that often plague those who plan their remodeling projects poorly.

Lighting Is Crucial

While it is fine to cut a few corners here and there, lighting is not an area to skimp on when remodeling a bathroom. Considering your bathroom is where you groom yourself every day, it is important that you have the right lighting in place including ‘task’ lights near your sinks and mirrors. Today, there are all types of lighting options to choose from. Just make sure the lights you pick provide enough brightness while ensuring the fixtures match your overall bathroom design.

Proper Ventilation Is A Must

Your bathroom needs to have a good ventilation system in place that can handle the excessive humidity that fogs up the mirrors, makes the floors slippery, and contributes to the growth of mildew and mold. A properly sized and installed exhaust fan is your best defense against harmful moisture that builds up in the bathroom. The exhaust fan should be connected to vent ducts that channel the exhaust outside your home. In this way, the exhaust will not go into closed, dark spaces inside your home where mold can develop and spread to damage walls, floors, and ceiling materials.

A bathroom remodeling project can potentially be your most cost-effective way to redefining your house.

This is your chance to transform your bathroom into a welcoming paradise. Or you can clear the clutter and turn the room into a clean, crisp update. Bathrooms are personal. You need to feel comfortable with the space and get the function you most want. Bathroom remodeling can do all of this.

Wish List

Before beginning your project or making any decisions, take the time to draft up the pros and cons of your current bathroom. Develop a sharp sense of what you’re wanting out of a new bathroom.  Ask yourself whether there are major changes that would greatly improve your enjoyment of the room. Do you need a bathroom for two? Does it need to used by both kids and adults? Do you need to radically change your storage space, or perhaps create a partition for the toilet? With the right planning, you can accomplish any of these goals.

Of course, costs are a major factor in any renovation. Thankfully, bathroom renovations can potentially cost a bit less than renovating larger rooms.  Consult experts for a quote, or start with ball park figures using tools such
as Better Homes & Gardens’ bathroom remodeling cost calculator.

Styles and Trends

Find a style that evokes the feeling you want out of your bathroom. Designs vary as much as anywhere else in the home. You can go for trends or unique motifs such as this eco-modern bathroom or these industrial-chicstyles featured on Remodelista.

For a guide to various styles and what they accomplish, HGTV has a bathroom remodeling trends guide here.

Remember, your renovation is your chance to get exactly what you want. You can go full-force with glass-and-steel modernism or make a Mediterranean splash. But you can also tailor it just the way you want. Remodeling professionals can help you design around a beloved centerpiece such as a clawfoot tub you adore, or a vision of his-and-hers pedestal sinks.

Keep in mind that you can adjust your style with fixtures and décor, but the big decisions on materials have a great impact on the bathroom. As you search for inspiration, notice what materials and colors seem most enticing to you.

Layout

The overall layout of your bathroom can be adjusted, even if it seems set in stone as it is. Seasoned renovation experts can help you figure out how to reconfigure the shower or bath, the toilet, and the sink – or work around the
infrastructure to accomplish what you want. For example, partial-height walls can add separation to the space.

Storage is key to a stylish and functional bathroom. If you want to hide away the toiletries, new cabinetry and creative options can make that happen. Shelves can also add to your storage space without taking up square footage.

You can also get creative with the layout of powder rooms or half-baths, such as ideas found in this guide from HGTV.

Bath or Shower

The tub or shower offers a renovation area that can seriously overhaul the look and feel of the room. Think about both personal touches and universal appeal, especially if you think you might sell soon.

Nothing has the timeless beauty of an excellent bathtub, but modern stand-up showers have become extremely popular for good reason. From glass surroundings to personalized fixtures and details, your shower should do everything you want it to. Think about whether you want built-in shelving or stands for shower products, for instance.

The tub or shower can incorporate intriguing materials like concrete as well as the wide range of steel, ceramic, and glass surfaces. Of course, shower tiles are both classic and open to expressive interpretation. From cuts of natural stone
to colorful ceramics or textured subway tiles, the possibilities are quite open.

Countertops

For the bathroom with a countertop, your choice of material will greatly impact your everyday use as well as the cost and value of the bathroom remodeling project.

Granite or granite tile is a long-time favorite that matches with a variety of design styles. Other stone options, such as marble or soapstone, offer elegance and beauty that requires just a tad more maintenance. You can also swing for
beautiful but less expensive options such as manufactured quartz.

Tiles also create beautiful bathroom countertops, allowing plenty of personalization of color and scale. For affordable custom cuts and colors, synthetic solids are often an appealing choice.

A unique bathroom remodeling project should also consider outside-the-box options like stainless steel or sealed wood. HGTV offers a helpful video discussion of unique countertop materials for the bathroom.

Sink & Faucet

The sink itself, as well as the faucet and fixtures, can complete a bathroom remodeling project perfectly. Many trends include bowl or vessel sinks. You can browse ideas for intriguing options in Remodelista’s list of architect-designed sinks.

When choosing a sink and faucet, consider any preferences you and your family have regarding the function and shape of handles and the faucet itself. Think about specifics, such as whether you use the sink for shaving or other tasks. The faucet should wow you with aesthetics while also making everyday life easygoing.

Toilet

Complete the look and feel of your bathroom remodeling with a toilet that makes you most comfortable. Your renovation project is the time to add a bidet or completely change the color or shape of the toilet, so take your time browsing options.

In addition to finding a model that best suits you, consider how storage and other features of the bathroom can be affected by the toilet and its placement. A bathroom remodeling expert can help craft storage space above the toilet, or
assist with redesigning the layout to make best use of your space.

Bathroom Remodeling: In Conclusion

Renovating your bathroom allows you to update your space to invigorate the room and improve its aesthetics. This is also the perfect time to indulge in features that will pamper you and make your daily routine more relaxing and more efficient.

A great bathroom renovation can involve tearing everything out and starting anew, but you can also do a lot with a face lift that upgrades your surfaces and fixtures. It’s a personal space where you should feel at home, and bathroom
remodeling lets you get the best value and use out of the room.

Living in a house that your family has outgrown, or that doesn’t suit your needs the way it used to.

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.
