J. Evans Custom Home Construction (JECHC), a Lorain, Ohio based construction company bringing container-style homes, known as the "Forever Home", to Northeast Ohio and the Cleveland Home + Remodeling Expo, answered a few questions about this innovation new design. Get the inside scoop here and then make sure to check out their Mini Mansion at the show this weekend.
Q: How did you get interested in building container homes?
JECHC: "In 2010 the founders of JECHC set out to align with the White House's initiative to end homelessness by 2015. When met with great adversity, the non-profit venture seemed impossible. However, in the process of researching energy-efficient and cost-effective building materials, the founders stumbled upon a resource that would address the need for energy-efficient housing and could withstand shifting climate changes and help promote the gentrification and revitalization of distressed areas: shipping containers. With skyrocketing utility costs, intense weather systems devastating property owners, and the abundance of vacant and severely distressed properties taking over the urban landscape, this innovative technology with a real and viable solution."
Q: What are the benefits of using shipping containers for home construction?
JECHC: "Shipping containers provide a cost-effective, energy-efficient and modern alternative to conventional wooden built homes. Each container is fabricated with the strength of Corten Steel, providing two to three times the strength and life expectancy of wood. Shipping containers are fabricated in standardized dimensions creating faster construction timeframes. They are also built to securely travel in extreme weather conditions while sustaining damage and protecting the cargo locked inside. Additionally, over one million containers are available for purchase each year, ensuring the supply and demand needs can be met. These features make shipping containers a great fit for innovative building design and a viable option for the future of residential and commercial building."
Q: What types of design elements will people see in the Forever Home "Mini Mansion"?
JECHC: "The 'Mini Mansion' will center on comfort-oriented design, showcasing innovative and efficient use of space, maximizing total square footage, including the use of 'negative space'. Because all of JECHC floorplans are custom built for each client, the design possibilities are endless! The interior and exterior allure of the structures will feature energy-efficient and cutting edge renewable materials built to endure damage, normal wear and tear, and deterioration. Maximizing the life expectancy of the structure increases the value of the investment.
Q: What do you think people are most surprised by when they see this style home in person?
JECHC: "Most people can't believe that our structures are made of our shipping containers. The appearance of the structure can be as simple as a standard residential home or as unique as the owner can dream! Not to mention, most are blown away by the use of negative or dead space that other conventional building styles do not incorporate."
Q: Where in Northeast Ohio can container homes be seen?
JECHC: "JECHC will be constructing a full scale model home in 2015 with the location still to be determined. However, the "Mini Mansion" and the Outdoor Addition will be used as mobile model homes, available for viewing in early spring 2015. These structures can be delivered to any location for home buyers to experience the luxury and benefit of building with the highest quality product available in residential construction."

Looking
for some instant charm? Well, the addition of beams to your ceilings will give
your home great architectural detail and almost a sense of history!
Try turning an ordinary ceiling in your family or living room to extraordinary with the addition of faux beams. This project isn’t for the timid; it requires some work, skill and above all a sense of adventure. The results are one that will enhance your living spaces for years to come, and you did it yourself.
This is one of several DIY projects Matt Fox will be sharing during the Cleveland Home +Remodeling Expo, March 27 - 29. Hope to see you there!
Shopping List:
Depending on the beam size, pine lumber ranging from 1’ x 6’ to 1’ x 10’s.
Materials on hand:

This is one of several DIY projects Matt Fox will be sharing during the Cleveland Home +Remodeling Expo, March 27 - 29. Hope to see you there!
Shopping List:
Depending on the beam size, pine lumber ranging from 1’ x 6’ to 1’ x 10’s.
Materials on hand:
- Compound Miter Saw
- Drill with drill bits
- Carpenters square
- Level (laser level would be ideal)
- Pencil
- 4 inch long 1/4 inch toggle bolts
- Nail gun and compressor
- Paint and paint brushes
This project is going to take a little help. It requires lifting the lumber up onto the ceiling, while one person holds the lumber, the other will attach it.
Instructions:
Step 1 - Determine the size of the beam. For
the photo, we selected 1’ x 4’s for the sides and 1’ x 8’s for the cover of the
beam. Measure the room and purchase enough lumber to do the number of beams you
decide.
Step 2 - Locate where the beams will be placed. Evenly divide the ceiling so that there is equal distance between the beams. Lay out the location of each beam by using a carpenters square (placed against the side wall to make sure that the beams run square) and a level to lay out the line, marking the placement of the beam with a pencil. We used a laser level to mark each beam placement. The straighter the beam the better the final results.
Step 3 - Cut blocks out of 2’ x 4’s the distance of the cover of the beam. If you select a 1’ x 6’ the blocks should be the width of that board. Depending on the length of the beam you will need at least 4 blocks for every 10 feet of beam.
Step 4 - Drill pilot holes into the block so that the toggle bolt can be pushed through the pilot hole.
Step 5 - At the end of each beam placement and along the beam line, secure the blocks to the ceiling, by marking the placement by pushing an awl through the block pilot hole. Drill a pilot hole into the ceiling then secure the block to the ceiling using the toggle. The blocks should be perpendicular to the beam line.
Step 6 - Cut the side pieces of the beam to length. For long beams, use several sections for the run of the beam. For the photo, the beams are constructed with 2 pieces of 1’ x 4’ per side. Cut the lumber to length using the miter saw.
Step 7 - Attach the side pieces to the blocks using a nail gun. (If more than one side piece is used, make sure that a block is located where the two side pieces will be joined. Also miter the ends of the side pieces to create a clean joint.)
Step 8 - Cut the cover to length. Again, more than one cover piece may be used for long beams. If more than one cover piece is used, make sure to miter the ends of the cut where the two will meet to make a smoother joint.
Step 9 - Hold the cover in place and secure with the nail gun.
Step 10 - Use a 1/4” corner round along the side pieces to add finish detail and to cover any gaps between the ceiling and the beam. Cut to length and install using the nail gun.
Step 11 - Paint and technique the beam to the color of your choice. Basically, you are creating a long box that will be installed to the ceiling. If you are lucky enough to find the ceiling joist and can secure the blocks to them, that would be great, but it seems like that never happens. Just make sure that you have enough blocks per beam and that where joints meets there is always a block.

their chrysalis phase. Landscaper William Brown will also provide tips and
advice to visitors on how to attract butterflies to their yards and gardens
such as:
MARCH 27 - 29, 2015.
1. Choosing the right plant type and color - Look for plants with red, yellow, orange, pink, and purple blossoms with short flower tubes.
2. Picking plants that continually bloom - As one plant stops blooming another will begin, allowing the butterflies to return for each new bloom.
3. Provide food for caterpillars - Each species feeds on a limited variety of native plants, for example Monarch caterpillars feed on milkweeds.

We're thrilled to have nationally recognized design/build contractor and Canadian television personality, Ramsin Khachi, joining us at The Great Big Home + Garden Show. Ramsin is renowned for generating creative solutions to problems facing the modern-day client. This design expert helps others achieve timeless, elegant, and uniquely customized spaces. We caught up with Ramsin briefly before the show and asked for his take on today's design trends. Read on and his enjoy his interesting perspective.
Today we are continually bombarded with trends and fads driven by the media's recurrent pursuit of new content. It's a persistent process that can ultimately leave us questioning our investments and improvements in our homes. If I had to believe heavily in design trends, I'd say the hottest trend today is to not be trendy. The vast amount of design content available to us in the media and online has made us more confident as consumers and puts us more in touch with and makes us more proud of our personal tastes and styles. We're not afraid to make our spaces reflect our own personalities.
What I do strongly believe in is lifestyle trends. Our lifestyles have changed greatly in the past several decades. We lead busy lives, we travel more, we entertain differently, and the last thing we'd want is a home that takes up any of our most precious commodity: time. We want spaces that enhance our lifestyles - like separate mudrooms and laundry rooms, wine cellars, media rooms, useable garages, and innovative storage spaces. We look for products that work for us so that we don't find ourselves constantly working around an item's limitations. Products that can deliver performance like Cambria's non-staining and durable Quartz countertops, Schulter's superior shower waterproofing system, or Blum's ingenious cabinet hardware.
In the future, I look forward to builder's fulfilling our needs better and creating homes that meet our current and future demands. Homes that are better built, more conductive to current lifestyles, and homes that help us enjoy living our lives rather than creating more work for us.
Presented by Cambria, Ramsin Khachi will grace the Main Stage at The Great Big Home + Garden Show Friday, February 6th at 5pm and Saturday, February 7th at 2pm. Don't miss this design darling - get your tickets early to avoid box office lines and secure your spot at the show. Right now you can get 2-for-1 tickets on Facebook.

CLEVELAND CONVENTION CENTER
Usually think of your garage
as just a place to park your vehicles? Most people do, making it one of the
most neglected spaces in a home! But
what if you could turn your garage into the “Ultimate Garage,” a space that not
only protects your vehicles but provides extra storage and possibly area to
relax in with a hobby or game room?
Here’s five signs it might be
time to consider creating your own “Ultimate Garage”:
1.
You have the house of your dreams and the garage
of your nightmares
2.
Family and friends all use the garage almost
exclusively for both entering and exiting your home,
making it your primary entryway instead
of your front door
3.
When your garage door is open your neighbors
think you’re having a garage sale
4.
Your garage floor is stained and ugly
5.
Your garage looks like a domestic dumping ground
See yourself in the above signs but not sure where to start?
"Organizing
and cleaning up the clutter can be an overwhelming and daunting task for
most," said Michael Padden, owner of EncoreGarage of Ohio. “The first step is making the commitment to do something
about it.”
EncoreGarage of Ohio is a local, full-service garage makeover company that offers a
combination of custom installed garage storage systems and professional
