Mackin Drafting & Design nice choices but the first one rocks!

Storage By Design .ca Men usually get pushed out of the closet. It always starts as 50% but if your like me you end up using the closet downstairs. But many of the new builders in my area have found the solution. His and hers walk-in or reach-ins.

Judith Collins Thanks so much - very helpful!

custom-tiles.com Helpful hint on tile/grout joint effect on tile installations - your 12x12 tile is probably NOT really 12x12, so if you want to figure accurately enough to size the installation including grout width: know that 'nominal' size (e.g., 12x12) is not the ACTUAL size. Ask or check written specifications for the actual size, try to find out what the average variance of tile size from this figure is. Tumbled tile typically varies the most due to the rounding and chipping at the edges. Tiles with larger variances from the 'average size' require a wider grout line to aid the installer in making adjustments to align the tiles.

ejmcgrenere This is something I have not even given a thought about, but what a wonderful idea. I think most take too much for granted.
It will certainly take a lot of time, but very sensible.
Thank you so much for putting this in print, helps make all decisions so much easier for those whom have to take care of
All your final wishes. Ellie_j McGrenere

mugsy1703 I tried to do this once, but it was the most onerous task imaginable. I never did complete it. Makes my hair stand on end just thinking about it. I know it should be done ...

demelaz And where shall this fit in a normal-sized house??:P

eddielicious We added a hoop in our garage. The kids love it and have a year round play space. A remodel of our existing garage became necesary as the framing on our 1950's ranch disintegrated. Much better than spending money on our basement to create a play space for them.

rinqreation Less or no dairy products indeed help ease down allergies (organic or not), so stop drinking cow milk. Less or best no sugar (especially the refined ones). Less or no wheat. Less meat and no porc. No sweetening additives. No light products. No chemicals, no synthetic cosmetics. And the list could go on.

We stress our bodies with all kinds of toxins, it's fighting constantly to keep up healthy, but we keep poisining it. Reducing toxins in our food and care products makes us coop better with the toxins in our environment. When you can't stand fragrances for example, it's because your body tells you "you're full" already. Plus they are too fake indeed.

I quit eating porc, don't drink cow milk, less hard candy and white sugar, buy organic shampoo and skincream and prefer spelt or teff bread over wheat. I don't use make-up, clean my house with ordinary dishwash soap and do whatever I can to avoid toxins (within my budget). Completely organic is too expensive for me and I believe some of the molds and bacterias (on organic fruit and vegetables) are just as bad for our bodies when we're not used to them. My skin condition and intestinal 'life' have improved a lot with simple adjustments.

The point is to take in less toxins/allergens so our body has time to clean and heal itself. Some people are more sensitive than others, so it's all about finding your own balance.

Timothy Carpet is a HUGE one. Carpet picks up and concentrates allergens like a water to sponge. Plus you are walking around knocking allergens into the air all the time. No carpet and no shoes will eliminate the majority of the allergens. Doesn't hurt to have and attic fan to vent the house air completely every few days then dust while it is on so anything knocked loose will get sucked out. The allergens will trap & concentrate in a house's air from cooking, skin shedding and outside. Hope I can help someone.
