=== 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.

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.

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.

While backsplash trends, like any trends, are always subject to change, the factors to help you choose the right backsplash for you have remained pretty stable.  Here are our top 10 tips for choosing the best kitchen backsplash.

image

Budget

As with any design project, the first thing to keep in mind is budget. Once you’ve established a budget for the backsplash, you’ll be to make the best decisions for your kitchen – without gouging your wallet.

Material

There are so many backsplash materials to choose from – glass, metal, and porcelain are just the tip of the iceberg. Decide whether you’re interested in investing a lot of time in backsplash maintenance; if you’re not, it’s better to stick with more durable materials, such as ceramic and porcelain.

Color

Color is obviously one of the most important decisions you’re going to have to make when it comes to your backsplash: Will you go bold with a vibrant emerald green or stick with a safe, neutral off-white? What’s important to remember when picking a backsplash is that it doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Which brings us to…

image

Cabinets and countertops

In many cases, your kitchen cabinets and countertops will be your backsplash’s best friends. To that end, keep your cabinet colors in mind when choosing your backsplash colors. If your cabinets are azure, emerald green might not be the best backsplash bet.

Grout

Ah, grout. One of interior design’s unsung heroes. In spite of its humble design standings, grout literally brings your tiles together, and it’s worth investing in a grout that can withstand the love of a busy kitchen. In recent years, designers and laypeople alike have discovered the joys of colored grout. If you’re not quite ready for vivacious emerald green tiles to burst upon your kitchen, maybe you’re ready for some zesty green grout?

Height

Height is one of those backsplash factors that aren’t necessarily under your control.  If you’ve got a row of upper cabinets above your sink, your backsplash space has been defined for you. However, if there are no pesky cabinets dictating your fate, think about extending the height of the backsplash beyond its standard dimensions. It’s a fairly simple way to add a lot of pizzazz and
excitement to your kitchen.

Shape

You can think out of the box – literally! Subway tile is great, but tiles now come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Herringbone, Moroccan, and mosaic tiles have a lot going for them.

image

Consider Metal

Running out of counter space? Magnetic tiles might just be the answer to your prayers. These shiny additions to your kitchen pack a lot of punch, and they work as a magnetic board for your extensive knife collection.

Mix it up

Torn between herringbone and subway tile? Love custom mosaics but they’re way out of your budget? You don’t necessarily have to choose. Mix and match tiles to create stunning kitchen designs. A subway tile backsplash with bursts of custom mosaics is an arresting kitchen feature.

Know your maintenance drill

Once you’ve finally got your dream backsplash in place, take a few moments to talk to your interior designer or your local home construction store about how to keep the dream looking fresh. Different materials require different care, and investing even a little time in their upkeep will keep you smiling each time you walk into the kitchen.

Still unsure how to tackle your kitchen backsplash? Let us help! Our team of experts is here to walk you through the entire backsplash process. Give us a call at (310) 363-7980, or reach us at info@jnoconstruction.com

As your trusted Los Angeles general contractor, we strive to provide the widest range of remodeling services that are guaranteed to help turn any ordinary house into the home of your dreams. If you’re currently designing or redesigning your home, we hope you’ll let us help. We’re not just glad to provide our high-quality services – we’re also here to give you all the home design advice you could possibly need.

OUR TEN TIPS WHEN DESIGNING YOUR HOME

It’s our goal to make sure that your home design goes as smoothly as possible. We’re more than happy to give you these ten home design tips to help you out:

  • If you’re going to set the tone for your house, it starts at the front door. The look and color of the door will likely be the first impression for many visitors.
  • Think about the theme that you’ll have for each room. Don’t go overboard with the theme, but make sure that everything fits into the room.
  • Most of your rooms should have a focal point – the attention-grabbing centerpiece of the room. This is what you want the rest of the room to be based around. Everything else should complement it.
  • Place your furniture in a way that accommodates conversation, balance, and intimacy.
  • Make sure to hang your artwork based upon an average person’s sightline.
  • You’ll want to layer your lighting so that the focal points and other important areas of your house benefit from the added lighting. These layers of lighting will create interest and give variety.
  • Take a second look at the items you already have in your house when you’re about to decorate. Chances are that you may already have a similar decoration and you won’t need to spend any extra money on a new one.
  • If you’re going to be doing any work from home, we recommend having a convenient office room for your work or business.
  • One of the last things you should decide on is the wall color. It’s easiest to pick a color after all of your stuff is in the room.
    Lighter, neutral colors are generally recommended because they’ll make rooms feel bigger and it won’t be as jarring when moving from one area to another.
  • Most importantly, be creative! While tips and guidelines are a great way to get started; you’ll be the one living in the home so it’s up to you to find what will make you happy on a daily basis.

As your trusted Los Angeles general contractor, we’re glad to provide you with a wide variety of remodeling services in order to help give you the home of your dreams. One of the ways we can help improve your home is through our swimming pool installation. If you’re considering installing a swimming pool inside (or outside) of your house, we believe that it’s important for you to consider these ten important tips.

Our Top Ten Tips

When you’re considering swimming pool installation, we want you to think of these things:

  • Make sure to understand the dimensions of the pool and how well it will fit in the area (indoors or outdoors) you want to install it in.
  • If you’re installing an outdoor pool, check with the local zoning regulations to make sure that you’re not violating any rules.
  • Know whether the pool is something that you can install on your own or if you’ll need a contractor or specialist to install it.
  • Do your research first. Installing a swimming pool is a costly expense so you’ll want to make sure that your contractor is someone that you can trust with this expensive endeavor.
  • You’ll also want to think about the ongoing expenses of the pool. This can include things like the water for the pool, chemicals, and repairing or fixing anything that happens to break.
  • Think about the time you’ll have to invest in keeping the pool clean. This is where a filter will come in handy. It’s costly, but very useful.
  • You’ll also want to purchase a water heater to keep the pool warm.
  • Safety is of the utmost importance when you have a pool. Investing in waters alarms, safety covers, and life jackets is a great idea to prevent accidents. If you have children, you should think about getting them swimming lessons.
  • Insurance coverage for your swimming pool is part of your homeowners insurance. Check with your insurance company to see how much your insurance will increase with the addition of the pool.
  • Check to see if the pool comes with a warranty and also what it covers.

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.

Transform Your Home – Start With Your Floors!

Now is a better time than ever to begin your long-awaited home renovation journey! We have loads of tips and tricks that we would love to share with you including:

  • Decide The Purpose Of The Floor:
    Depending on factors such as which room you are renovating, your ideal flooring choice is probably going to be different. In living rooms, where most of the foot traffic happens, your best option may be a durable and aesthetically pleasing hardwood. If you are redoing the floors in a bedroom, there is more room for creativity, so take time to develop your specific flooring taste and choose something based solely on your preferences!
  • Cost:
    All flooring materials have different grades of quality and are priced differently. Especially if you have a bigger room, this may be more of a concern. We can discuss your different pricing options to help you determine what new flooring may best fit your needs!
  • Ease Of Care:
    There are some flooring options that are more easily cared for than others. If this is more of a concern for you and your family, we may urge you to consider low-maintenance flooring such as bamboo, laminate, hardwood and vinyl.
  • Eco-Friendly Options:
    Are you looking for flooring that is appealing AND environmentally friendly? Some beautiful eco-friendly flooring options include bamboo, cork, or recycled hardwood. In choosing these options, you can be good to yourself as well as the environment!
  • Consider Ceramic For Your Kitchen Or Bathrooms:
    Ceramic offers a variety of texture and pattern to a room. It is easy to clean and looks great in kitchens or bathrooms!
  • Ease Of Linoleum:
    Linoleum flooring is available in a wide variety of colors and patterns, and is also extremely durable. If you are looking for a versatile and low-maintenance new floor, linoleum may be perfect for you!
  • Timeless Stone:
    Stone flooring exudes timeless beauty and grace and will give your home new added character. Stone is also easy to clean, and is very durable and fire-resistant!
  • Laminate For An Upscale Look On A Budget:
    If you want a classy floor without going all-in on hardwood, laminate is a gorgeous alternative. Laminate is made from pressed wood, is extremely durable, and resists both scratches and moisture.
  • All-Natural Cork: Besides being an eco-friendly flooring option, cork is also conveniently resistant to mold and mildew. Because of the air in the natural cells of cork, cork flooring is both soft and easy on the feet. Because of this, it can be an ideal option for families with young children!
  • Comfortable Carpet:
    Carpet is a comfortable and safe option for young children and is one of the most versatile flooring options! Carpet is comfortable to the touch and comes in a number of different styles and textures so you can find the perfect option for your home.

  2. Consider A Warm And Inviting Fire Pit: With the help of a fire pit, your outdoor patio space will be perfect for
    year-round lounging! The perfect fire pit will also add a gorgeous touch to any patio.
  3. Pick Your Lighting:  Lighting is key to creating ambiance, so think about the environment you want to create and we can help you choose mood lighting that will best fit your lifestyle.
  4. Add The Flare of An Outdoor Bar: If you really want to impress your guests, add the functional flare of
    an inviting outdoor bar. This could include new plumbing and a sink, or could be as simple as a rolling island.
  5. Choose An Outdoor Kitchen and Grill: This way, the cook doesn’t need to be hidden away in the house and can
    join all of the outdoor fun instead! Adding a kitchen and a built-in grill is a great idea for people who regularly entertain and love spending time outside.
  6. Consider A Covered Patio To Protect It From Varying Weather Conditions: Covered or partially covered patios will protect you and your furniture from rain or too much sun and give your patio a cozy and comfortable
    feel.
  7. Shady Trees Or Fruit-Bearing Plants: Big trees will add an extra sheltered appeal as well as be very aesthetically pleasing. Fruit-bearing plants will be useful as well as fragrant and decorative.
  8. Don’t Forget About Your Outdoor Flooring:  Flooring doesn’t stop at the back door of your home! You can help
    beautify your patio with stunning stone, concrete, wood, tile, and more.
  9. Consider A Screened-In Patio:  Some customers prefer screened-in patios, so choose anything from
    glass to screen mesh to cozy up your space and better control pesky bugs and weather!
  10. Pick A Theme: If you are unsure what specific pieces you want in your patio but have a general idea or a theme in mind, our team is more than happy to help you get a list going of ways to bring your dream to life.

Things To Know Before Replacing Your Windows

  • Consider Your Space: Think about the purpose of the window. Is it near the ground and going to need to be highly secure? Or is it higher up and being made to let in rays of afternoon sunlight? These considerations will matter when choosing type and materials for the window.
  • Know Your Budget: Remember that when you are replacing a window, you need to buy not only the window itself, but other necessary pieces and accessories that come with it. The whole project will most likely be pricier than it seems going into it.
  • Think About Energy Efficiency: Consider the climate your home is located in and where the window will go, as both of these can help determine the energy efficiency requirements for the window. If you live in a cold area and the window is going in a room where you need to trap heat, you’ll want a window that acts as insulation. If you know you’ll want to let a breeze into the room, opt for something that is light and easy to open.
  • Go For Quality: Windows are an investment in the stability, energy efficiency and market value of your home. In the long run, cutting corners won’t pay off: it’s a better idea to invest in a quality window that will be with you for years to come.

The months of fall can be just as fruitful and abundant as the summer months if tended to properly and if the right choices are made. Our team works hard to promote safe and functional practices, which includes ways to keep your back and front yards healthy and happy year-round. Below you will find different tips and tricks to keep your backyard garden fresh all fall.

Small Changes You Can Make To Promote The Health Of Your Garden

  • Fertilize In The Fall: The hot summer months can easily dry out the grass on your lawn, shrubs, and trees, so feeding them in the fall will help them recuperate and stay as healthy as possible. Try a fertilizer formula of 20-8-8 in September to get your yard happy and healthy.
  • Strip Down Your Grass: Consider mowing your grass to about 1 inch at the end of the summer season, to help fight off disease and keep your grass healthy. Similarly, collect the fallen leaves on your lawn to get them out of the way of your grass.
  • Consider Planting Shrubs: They grow well in cool, moist environments, and will keep your garden bountiful in the colder months.
  • Trim Back: Trimming perennials and dead branches will help give your garden a happy place to thrive.
  • Plant Bulbs: Take the opportunity that fall offers to plant bulbs, since these new, growing plants will flourish most in the spring.
  • Fall Crops: Some of the different produce crops that grow well in the fall include leafy greens (lettuce, chard, kale, spinach), root vegetables (carrots, beets, onions, radishes), and brassicas (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage).

However, this basic home improvement job requires that you make the right decisions so you can avoid overspending and a strained neck. Here are a few tips for repainting your home that can help ensure the job goes smoothly and is done right.

Consider The Weather

Because paint will not adhere correctly to a surface that is not dry, be sure to choose a time of the year when there is little rain and low humidity.

Use Quality Paint

While it is easy to be tempted to choose a cheaper paint, using low quality paint will inevitably give you problems and possible lead to you paying more in the long run. Therefore, it is best to use a quality paint that will give you better coverage and more bang for your buck.

Clean The Surfaces Of Your Home

Before painting, it is important to clean the exterior of your home, allow it to dry, and then brush or sand any peeling paint away so the paint adheres properly.

Cover The Ground

Painting can be a very messy job, so be sure to cover the ground below using drop clothes. And do not forget to move or cover any outdoor furniture, grills, aesthetics, etc.

Start Painting At The Top & Work Your Way Down

To control streaking, always start painting at the top of your home and work your way down to ground level. Dripping and streaking is often unavoidable but this method allows you to correct mishaps as you go.

Be Safe On The Ladder

When working high up, do not forget basic ladder safety. Never overreach too far to the side or you may fall over. Always climb down, move the ladder, and then climb back up when you cannot easily reach the area that needs paint. Being safe on the ladder will keep you from falling and help you avoid very sore muscles in your arms, back, and neck.
