If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! The EPA has not yet designated WaterSense Showerheads. It is so much easier to find one, when you have a list. So I picked the WaterPik EcoFlow, after visiting several showrooms. Most staff didn’t seem to know about WaterSense [...]
As I am planning for the future, decided to put in a Dual Flush Toilet. After research, bought the Toto Aquia II Toilet. ($390 including tax and lid) This WaterSense approved toilet does qualify for a water Rebates in San Diego, but you have to submit your water bill. Unfortunately (or fortunately) our Condo Association [...]
After much thought, I decided to re-glaze the bathtub instead of installing a new one and putting in tile. My decision was based upon several things:
1.) No demolition
2.) No hassle of getting rid of the old tub and surround
3.) No hassle of installation of new tub and tile
4.) When you only have 1 bathroom, it [...]
I bought this dual sink vanity from Craigslist: It included the 2 sinks, the hardware, countertop and the base cabinets. ($200.) At the time, I thought it was an OK deal, not the best, but a 2 decent cast iron sinks and hardware can run up to $200.
I wouldn’t have bought it if I knew [...]

Being a fan of FREE STUFF, thought I would investigate another material that is free for the taking. Cardboard. Every store has cardboard, plus, on craigslist there are about 10 listing a day for moving boxes. So how can you make money with this free material? With a little time/transportation, and creativity you too can [...]
Lumeneo Smera: Production in 2009
This is like a motorcycle on 4 wheels. Looks kinda cool, but can you see driving this on the Freeway with all those SUV’s looming up behind you and passing you @ 80 MPH?
I have had alot of hits on salvage and reclaimed wood, so decided to combine the two, as many places carry both. Please call first, as it appears many addresses are changed and to confirm offerings.

Once again, I review all this free stuff available, and again I think if you are creative and a DYI person, you can make great gifts, clothing, purses and home decor to resell and make some money! All it takes is time/gas and of course space to stock the mattresses.
