Troy Tipp Lawn hosts showcase saleSee what’s new this spring season, talk to reps from top brands

BY LINDY JURACKiN75 Editor

TROY — Spring sprungearly this year, and so dideveryone’s grass. If you’rein need of new lawn equip-ment, have questionsabout your current tools orjust want to see what’snew in lawn care this sea-son, stop by the 22nd an-nual Manufacturer’sShowcase Sale at TroyTipp Lawn Equipment Su-perstore this weekend.This Friday and Satur-

day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.,representatives from thetop brands in lawn carewill be on site at Troy TippLawn Equipment Super-

store, 3155 TippCowlesville Road, to showoff the newest productsand chat with customers.Reps from Snapper, Toro,Dixon, Echo, Tanaka,Kohler and Briggs & Strat-ton will be at the show.The store carries riding

mowers, zero-turn mowers,lawn tractors, rear-enginemowers, walk-behindpower mowers, trimmers,edgers, chainsaws, blowers,

hedge clippers and more.“We have anything you

need to get your yard inshape and keep it thatway,” said owner DallasGraham.During the showcase,

customers will be allowedto test drive any piece ofequipment in the shop.Graham said everything inthe store has been servicedand is ready to run.Special sales and incen-

tives will be offeredthroughout the day, includ-ing extra dollars off pur-chases made that day oncertain items.Graham said he started

hosting a showcase sale 22years ago as a way for peo-ple to have contact withthe brand representativeswhile seeing what’s newfor the year. One of thenew products this seasonis the Toro TimeMaster.The new 30-inch, walk-

behind mower is simple touse and store, but best ofall, it can cut your lawn upto 40 percent faster thanthe typical 21-inch model.Troy Tipp Lawn Equip-ment has a video cus-tomers can watch thatshows the TimeMaster’s30-inch cutting deck fea-turing a twin-blade cuttingsystem.The Personal Pace auto-

matic drive system allowsthe mower to adapt to yourspeed, and a traction-assisthandle helps tame uneventerrain. The larger capac-ity bag captures more clip-pings without sacrificing

maneuverability. The Spin-Stop system allows you tostop the cutting bladeswithout shutting off theengine, making it quickerto pick up obstacles in yourpath. The handle heightcan be adjusted for anyuser, and the quick-stowlever makes for easy stor-age.“If you have a big lawn

and a busy schedule, thismower is for you,” saidMatthew Medden, seniormarketing manager forToro, in a press release.“Originally, we designedthe TimeMaster for home-owners who were lookingto buy a small ridingmower, but didn’t have theroom to store it. What wefound is that bigger really

is better when it comes toany lawn-mowing task. Ifyou can get the job donefaster, that’s pretty appeal-ing for any homeowner.”Graham has already

sold several ToroTimeMasters, but willhave some on hand at theManufacturer’s ShowcaseSale for people to test.The unseasonably warm

weather has boosted salesat Troy Tipp Lawn Equip-ment, but Graham antici-pates the busiest monthsare still to come.“Over 80 percent of

mowers sold are sold dur-ing this time of year,” Gra-ham said. “The next six toeight weeks will be ourbusiest time of year.”People buying those

mowers and any equip-ment from a dealer suchas Troy Tipp Lawn Equip-ment, instead of a massmarketer, get the knowl-edge and experience of thestaff, who can offer one-on-one advice to cus-tomers.“We dealers have a

wider array of equipment,”Graham said. “We can helpcustomers get the rightequipment rather than thewrong equipment.”For example, Graham

pointed out two mowersthat look similar, but one ismore expensive than theother.“I can tell you if you’re

mowing for an hour or 15minutes at a time, whichmower suits you betterand what will make yourlawn look better,” he said.Graham also said he

can help people fromunder-buying or over-buy-ing by pointing out theexact right tool for thatcustomer’s job, in somecases saving customersfrom spending more moneythan they need to.Another benefit of buy-

ing straight from a dealeris not having to assembleanything or figure out howto get products running.Troy Tipp Lawn Equip-ment sets up all its prod-ucts, tests them and hasthem ready to mow at pur-chase. The staff is avail-able to answer customers’questions, and the storeservices all makes andmodels, not just the ones itsells.For more information,

call the store at (937) 335-5993 or (937) 898-1550.Regular business hours areMonday through Friday 9a.m. to 5 p.m. and Satur-day 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

SIDNEY —When youwere a kid, did you everdream that your schoolwas your house? You couldhave chalkboards in yourbedroom, explore the innersanctum of the principal’soffice and basically havethe run of the place.Or maybe the thought

of living at your school wasmore a nightmare.For one Sidney couple,

turning a school into theirhome is now a reality.Joey and Sara Prinzi,

along with their two youngdaughters, moved fromLima to Sidney last De-cember to be closer toSara’s new job as the com-munity health enhance-ment director at the YMCAin Urbana. After not find-ing a place they liked inUrbana, they moved into ahouse in Sidney beforebeing attracted to the “forsale” sign in front of theold Orange TownshipSchool on County Road 25-A.“We like old houses, and

I’ve always loved brickstructures,” Sara said. “Wealways talked about oneday re-doing a one-roomschoolhouse or an oldchurch.”

They thought the oldschool would be way out oftheir price range, andwhen they found out itwasn’t, they assumed itmust be a dump inside.“Once we saw the in-

side, we said, ‘Yep, we cando all this,’” Sara said.

Lots of workThe 12,000-square-foot

building was far frommove-in ready.With holesin the walls, beat up floors,outdated lighting and aleaky bathroom, thePrinzis had their work cutout for them, but just twoweeks into the project theyare making substantialprogress and plan to movein this week.“We’ve never moved

into a move-in readyhouse,” Sara said, addingthey’ve learned how to dorenovations along the way.“But we’ve never taken onsomething this big.”It’s a big job for these

DIY-ers, but in two weeks,they’ve already completedthe kitchen and an up-stairs bathroom that wasthe facility’s handicap rest-room.The structure was built

in 1908 and served as aschool until 1982. It sat va-

cant for several years untila church purchased it andoccupied it until just twoyears ago. All of the thingsyou might find in a school,such as desks, tables andchairs, had been sold atauction.The Prinzis did make

one interesting find — a12-foot canvas painting ofJesus. They aren’t sure if itwas left by the school ad-

ministration or the church,but it’s fairly old and be-yond repair. They alsofound a box with all theblueprints for the building.

Plenty of spaceSara and Joey have

plans for the place otherthan just living in it. Afterall, who needs 12,000square feet, Sara said.

The family will use the6,000-square-foot lowerlevel for their main livingarea, and the upstairs willbe dedicated to their partyrental business.The entryway to the

building is a bright spotwith doors on both sidesand a glass-block wall.Sara plans to replace the

doors with ones you’d findon a house instead of themore business-like push-bar doors there now. Sheplans to fill the space withwrought iron furniture andplants for a welcominglook.Double doors off the en-

tryway open into the build-ing, and the staircase isthe first thing you see. Thetwo floors are almost iden-tical in layout. An out-of-order elevator is on theleft, but the couple doesn’tplan to fix it up.

Lower levelDown the stairs are two

800-square-foot class-rooms, one to the right,which their daughters willshare, and one on the left,which will be the masterbedroom. In the master,they’ve taken out the in-dustrial lighting and de-signed a creative lightingscheme with lattices andhanging fixtures that fillup the space the high ceil-ings create.The lighting has been

the hardest part of thewhole project so far, butthey hope it’ll make thehome more energy effi-cient. They’ve replaced 25

light fixtures just on thelower level and had tobuild scaffolding becauseof the tall ceilings.Chalkboards in the

master bedroom camedown, and Sara paintedthe area on the wall tohang photos and art. An-other wall of chalkboardswill be covered by mirrorsand used as a vanity area.A large closet is anotherproject they have totackle.No chalkboards had to

be taken down in theroom the girls will share.Heaven, 10, and Lyric, 6,are ecstatic about beingable to write on theirwalls and have alreadyput their names on theboards.“They love the chalk-

boards. They think it’s socool,” Sara said.

Bathroom re-doNext to the girls’ room

is a bathroom that servedthe boys of the school. ThePrinzis plan to make this

their main bathroom bytaking out the stalls andurinals and having justone toilet. They’ll add an8-foot granite counter topwith two sinks, a claw-foottub and a glass-blockshower.Outside the bathroom

is a coat rack and hallarea that has stairs lead-ing up and outside. Theyplan to put up some book-shelves and use this spaceas a library.Directly opposite the

main staircase is a rampleading down to what wasthe school’s cafeteria. The3,000-square-foot spacewill become the Prinzi’sliving room and diningroom. On the back wallare doorways leading intothe kitchen, a surprisinglysmall space for a schoolkitchen, but the perfectsize for a home. The origi-nal wooden cabinets werein good enough shape forthe Prinzis to keep. Offthe kitchen is a spacethey intend to use for alaundry room.Heading upstairs, you

come into an open areawith large classrooms tothe left and right, just likethe bedrooms downstairs.One will eventually be-come a music room forJoey, who was in a band inLima. The rest of the up-stairs has spaces the fam-ily plans to rent out forparties.

Party rentalsThe large classroom to

the right of the stairs is abright sky blue with alarge tree and rainbowpainted on the wall. Saraguesses the church thatoccupied the buildingused it as a nursery. ThePrinzis plan to do somerepairs to the walls andceiling, but mostly keepthat room the same. It’llbe perfect to rent out forkids’ birthday parties.The couple already had

been hosting kids’ partiesbefore buying the school,specializing in Pony Par-ties where their liveponies make appearances.They also have pigs andchickens, all of which they

plan on bringing to thenew home once they turnthe four-car garage inback of the property into abarn.“This is what happens

when you’re a little girlthat always wanted apony but you live intown,” Sara said.

City kidsShe and Joey grew up

as city kids in Lima, butonce the high schoolsweethearts got out ontheir own, they headed forthe country, got some ani-mals and never consid-ered living in town again.Also in the upper level

of the building is a largeroom they intend to makeavailable for weddings,banquets, graduation par-ties or any get-togetherspeople need more spacefor. The room mirrors theformer cafeteria below,and the church used it asits sanctuary.The Prinzis have fin-

ished the upstairs handi-cap bathroom, and willuse it as their main bath-room until they finish theone downstairs. Theschool’s girls’ restroomupstairs next to the largebanquet room will keepits stalls for use by guestsat events.What used to bethe principal’s office willbecome storage space.The building sits on 4

acres, part of which willbe fenced off for the fam-ily’s animals. They plan toset up an outdoor patiospace and a sand volley-ball court, which Sarahopes will entice highschool seniors to havegraduation parties there.While they’ve become

day-trippers to the localhome improvement store,they’ve also picked upseveral things at auctions.Sara nabbed tables for thebanquet room, ironically,at a school auction, and

they picked up sinks, ceil-ing fans and carpet at abusiness auction.

Mixed reactionsThe Prinzis have

turned a few heads withtheir endeavor. A couplestopped by one weekendand said they went toschool there 50 years agoand wanted to lookaround.“They pointed out

where their classroomswere and were glad some-one was doing somethingwith it,” Sara said.Their friends have

been curious and wantingto see it, and their parents

have had mixed reactions.“His parents think it’s

cool and see a lot of possi-bilities,” Sara said. “Minethink I’m absolutelynuts.”Nuts or not, they are

too far into the projectnow to turn around andthey have no intention ofdoing so. Sara’s hoping tohave the downstairs bath-room finished in sixmonths, and be happywith the state of thewhole house in ninemonths to a year. But likeany home renovation,they’ve accepted they’llprobably never be trulyfinished with it.
