POLL: What does a "healthy home" mean to you?
Comments (36)Mold around a chimney caused by condensation is the only factor that has negatively affected my health in the past 4 placed I've lived in. It was a rented house in Finland, my wife and I developed sores in our noses from August to February within 2 weeks of moving into the place. No visible mold but then a mushroom type thing started growing on the wall, the wall was opened and the mold was everywhere in the structure around the chimney so we moved out immediately and within 2 weeks our nose sores were gone. Prior to this I thought of mold as something only complainers and crazy people talked about, now I think of it very seriously and would live in a tent before another moldy home. Looking at the history of building and insulation techniques in Finland which is currently ahead of the USA in energy efficiency I believe the northern parts of the US are currently building a group of houses that will develop mold problems due to the ever lowering air infiltration limits and no HRV / ERV equipment. Finland already went through this exact problem in the 80's Currently we're building a house in NH. It'll have a full ventilation system and mold free construction methods. The VOC and off gassing priority is lower since fresh air is exchanged constantly by the HRV / ERV equipment. The site has been dowsed for Geopathic stress. Read on the work of Hartmann and Curry lines. Geopathic stress negatively affects health in many ways and the lines and intersections should be avoided especially in sleeping areas. I'll also make an effort to reduce the EMF without wifi, and cordless phones but am unsure if I'll do a fully shielded electrical system. I've thought about putting some grounding leads into all the tile floor for the health benefits of grounding especially in the winter months when I can't go outside barefoot....See MoreMusic room needs a lift-I mean a rug-ideas?

Comments (177)@starkric I wish I'd read your post before buying, because this has been more or less my experience as well. My 10-month-old T1 dryer has been out of service for 59 days. Miele hasn't even supplied a firm delivery date for parts. Booking service took weeks, and they made mistakes on the order that initially prevented warranty coverage. They're frequently unreachable by phone and slow to respond to email. They adamantly refuse to provide any compensation for the lengthy loss of service via a warranty extension, though the repair warranty will be less than the warranty lost to the breakdown. Adding insult to injury, their initial response was to blame us for the problem....See More"Premium White Quartzite" - granite or quartzite? Durability?
Comments (18)Beautiful material. If you choose something with such strong veining, make sure you go to the fabricator and work with them so you have a definite understanding of where the seams will be, how the corners will match up, how will your sink be placed, will there be seams in front of a cook top, how will any overhang be supported, etc. We have seen post after post from Houzzers who selected their slab(s), put the layout in the hands of the fabricator, and then were devastated when the installation was complete but looked nothing like what they were dreaming of. Always, always participate in this part of the process!...See Moremalba2366
