Colonial home boasts modern touches, history in River Oaks
This beautiful home, located at 2154 Inwood, is a classic Georgian Colonial-style home that was designed by La Marque architect F. Perry Johnston for the original owner J.L. White and was one of the last homes completed in River Oaks before private construction stopped for World War II.

The home's period-perfect design elements include the neoclassical pendants, gas lanterns, hinged and operable Spanish cedar shutters, and a mahogany front door with beveled glass and polished nickel.
The inviting kitchen is open to the den and features stainless-steel appliances.
Spacious formal rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, extensive millwork and wainscoting, and espresso-stained oak floors.
Manicured, lush gardens offer seasonal color, a stone hardscape and a fountain, making for a tranquil oasis for relaxing or entertaining. Exterior features also include a backyard, covered patio/deck, detached garage, sprinkler system and partially fenced yard.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — One of GE Appliance Park's five manufacturing buildings is back open after being closed for two days when they reported a probable, but not confirmed, case of COVID-19.
Despite the company's efforts to disinfect amid COVID-19, dozens of factory workers said conditions are still dangerous. One worker, Casey Sturgeon, said it's so bad, he's considering going on strike.
"We're not life-sustaining," Sturgeon said. "I know they say that we are...your life doesn't depend on a dishwasher."
Still, Sturgeon is back on the job. He works inside the same building that was closed when an employee showed possible coronavirus symptoms.
GE Appliances, a unit of China-base Haier, said they disinfected the area, but Sturgeon said he's still worried about possibly contracting it and passing it on to others--especially his mom.
"I don't know what they cleaned," Sturgeon said. "She has preexisting conditions. So if she gets this, it could kill her."
He said his company has replaced shower curtains with plexiglass, but the glass still does not fully protect them.
"The plexiglass doesn't even come down as far as it needs to," Sturgeon said.
He also said he now has cleaning solution and hand sanitizer at his workplace, something that was not previously there. Still, he says conditions are not great.
"In the restroom in my area, we only have one working sink," Sturgeon said.
In an email, a spokesperson with GE Appliances said "assertions that any unsafe conditions exist in Appliance Park are unfounded." The company said they have enforced social distancing, more rigorous cleaning, and have been providing protective equipment for employees, like masks.
Sturgeon and others interviewed said they would rather have those masks given to those on the front lines, though President Donald Trump's administration is encouraging Americans to wear face masks or makeshift coverings in public.
"They don't want to use what the hospitals need," Sturgeon said.
GE Appliances announced Friday morning they're donating 100,000 masks and gloves to health care facilities in Kentucky and other states, but factory workers said keeping Appliance Park open means protective gear is still being used to make appliances like refrigerators when they could go to health care workers.
State Rep. Kevin Bratcher (R) said he has gotten over 200 calls over the last few days from factory workers here, worried about conditions.
"They're very upset," Bratcher said. "And I just hope it's not a catastrophe."

Earlier this week, he wrote a letter to the president of GE Appliances, asking he "cease" regular operations until the current state of emergency lifts.
That same day, the president of the union representing workers at Appliance Park wrote in a letter to members: "I will be exploring the possibility of taking a park wide strike vote in light of the company's unwillingness to respond to this crisis."
Sturgeon said he could see a strike happening, saying every day on the factory floor feels like a risk.
"All of your really high up people, they're all working from home," Sturgeon said. "They're not really listening to us."
Factory workers said they believe the virus could spread rapidly in the conditions where they work. GE Appliances said the person who showed probable but not confirmed signs of COVID-19 is being quarantined, and anyone who shows symptoms should immediately report them to their site's medical team.

Your dryer is probably the riskiest appliance because the vent needs to be periodically cleaned of lint once or twice a year. Clogged dryer vents can cause house fires. Normally, this is a task best left to professionals, but Mr. DiClerico recommends using a Lint Lizard, a flexible vacuum cleaner attachment designed to suck up lint, as a temporary alternative. Your washing machine should be able to handle the extra loads. However, to sanitize it every few weeks, run an empty cycle on hot with a cup of bleach.
If your dishwasher is getting extra use, sanitize it every few weeks by running an empty cycle with a bowl of white vinegar on the bottom rack. Clean the filter monthly — or every two weeks, if it's running double time. If you have a hood over your range, change the filter if you've been doing a lot of cooking. (Check your manufacturers websites on how to change filters.)
Your water heater may also be working extra hard. Read the instruction manual for maintenance recommendations, as many heaters should be drained periodically. This can usually be done with a hose attachment at the bottom of the cylinder.
Limit Options
Less stuff means less to clean up. In a home with small children, limit the available toys at any given time, setting the rest away in a closet to cycle through later. With fewer toys available, you may find that the children are more likely to focus on one for a longer period of time.
"Be deliberate about what is accessible and what is not," said Karri Bowen-Poole, the chief executive of Smart Playrooms, a Westchester design company. Store the toys in easily accessible bins so the children can play (and tidy up) independently. Label the bins with words or pictures to make cleanup easier for small children.
Resist the lure of online impulse buys. More stuff means more clutter. Instead, hunt for activities among the items that already exist in your home. "Recognizing that less is more can be beneficial," Ms. Bowen-Poole said. "Put a stapler out for a 6-year-old. Show them how to make books."
Set Schedules and Dole Out Jobs
With no one ever leaving the house, days can bleed from one to the next, making it difficult to keep on top of chores, activities and tasks. But people crave order, especially at a time when nearly every routine has been upended. To stay on top of all that needs to be done, add some structure to the day, and to how the home will be used.

At least 251 million Americans have been told to remain at home to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.
The extra time at home means utilities are being used far more than usual, leading to higher bills in an already financially challenging time.
Business Insider spoke to consumer finance expert Lauren Greutman, who saves hundreds of dollars on utilities each month.
She said that making small changes, like unplugging appliances that are not in use and turning down water heaters, can result in big reductions in your monthly bills.

Many Americans are facing financial strain from the effects of isolating for the coronavirus, and more than 251 million have been told to remain at home to reduce its spread.
Spending more time at home means utility bills are likely to go up, but costs can be reduced by making simple but effective changes. Lauren Greutman, a consumer finance expert and mother of six children, told Business Insider how she saves hundred of dollars each month by altering how she uses her utilities.
She suggests making simple adjustments like unplugging appliances that aren't in use and, for those who have access to their hot water heaters, she recommends turning them down to below 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
Take a look at the ways you can be saving on your monthly bills by modifying your energy use.
