What Are The Very Best Under Sink Water Filters?

The best under sink water filters provide enough safe, healthy H20 to meet the drinking and cooking needs of your household. While there are many inexpensive carafe-style systems that can treat small amounts of water, obviously these types of products are not the best option for large families or people who do a lot of cooking. People who want to treat large volumes of water do best with systems that are capable of greater output.

Shelf Unit Storage

When searching for the best under sink water filter for you and your household, keep in mind the following information. Two common systems for treating H20 are reverse osmosis and distillation: both are available in small enough units to store next to your cleaning supplies on that bottom shelf. However, both have disadvantages, slow output being one of them. Either system may only produce about ten gallons or so a day. The two main problem both have is that they do not block all chemicals and contaminants from H20 and they remove important minerals such as calcium.

Shelf Unit Storage

The best under sink water filters keep all important minerals in the water while blocking everything you don't want ending up in your glass. The list of these contaminants is surprisingly long. What flows from your faucets contains chlorine as a standard sanitizer, but it is both inefficient and linked to cancer and other illnesses. A good treatment system will remove this chemical from your drinking supply. Other contaminants such as lead, industrial waste, and pathogens quite often end up in your glass and should be removed.

The best under sink water filter protects your family from these dangerous elements lurking in your drinking supply by having a multi-step filtration process. One filter, whether carbon, ceramic, or metal, will be able to remove many unwanted substances, but the odds are that some stray chemicals can slip past. An additional strainer or blocking mechanism ensures that nothing will be in your drinking supply that you don't want.

Once the H20 is clean, the best under sink water filters make it more healthy and beneficial in several ways. Some systems work an ion exchange by trading lead ions for potassium ions. Others run the H20 through an ionizer which essentially divides the water into two separate types - one is alkaline which is full of oxygen and hydrates the body better, the other is acidic which is very good for washing and external cleansing. The best under sink water filter for you is one that incorporates many of these steps in order to make water both safe and healthy.

If you are searching for ways to make your drinking supply better, you could purchase a carafe-style system or a sink-top model. These can provide some benefits, but usually do not process enough water to be able to fit your needs, and they also tend to take up needed space on the counter or in the fridge. The best under sink water filters are able to process more H20 and do so tucked away conveniently out of sight. They give you H20 for drinking, cooking, filling your goldfish bowl, and watering delicate houseplants. While there are also whole-house models, the best under sink water filter is usually less expensive and easier to maintain than these larger units.

The best under sink water filters supply your house with an abundant, safe, and beneficial drinking supply. Make certain that you choose one that has a multi-step processing system and converts safe water to more beneficial water, providing your family with additional energy and oxygen.

Best Closet Layouts For Storage Space Efficiency

The proper closet Layouts are critical to maximizing the efficiency of your storage spaces. For every given storage space there are literally hundreds design options available. If you use computer aided design software (CAD) finding the closet layouts that meets the needs of your home or business is relatively easy. A quick check of the Internet will provide you with lots of design ideas. Most of the top closet design and installation companies provide good online software that allows you to initially design your storage area. Depending on your needs and budget you may want to call in a closet design specialist to assist you.

Shelf Unit Storage

In the past closet design and construction were relatively simple. You basically had one clothes pole or rod that ran the length of the closet with a single shelf located above. If you have ever been in any older home you have seen these age old designs. When in use these closets have the top shelve full of boxes and on the floor is a mixture of footwear, boxes and bags of clothing. The clothes pole is full from wall to wall with very little organization. Any clothing removed from the closet looks just awful with wrinkles and stretched fabric. These old closets were fine back when most people had few clothes and only one or two pairs of shoes and boots.

Shelf Unit Storage

Today's closet layouts reflect the changes in our lifestyles. Analyzing what you are going to store in your closet or storage area is a critical first step in any design. Obviously storage areas for a business, home, basement or garage are all going to have different requirements.

Never the less there are still just two basic types of closets. The "reach in closet" consists of a single wall layout that can be accessed from outside the closet simply by opening the closet door or doors. All shelves and/or clothes poles are located along the back wall of the storage area or closet. Reach in closets are the most common closet found in any home or office. Again maximizing the efficiency of this space requires you to itemize all the possible items that would be stored within the storage space.

Walk-in closets come in many different size and shapes. The largest walk-in closet layouts allow for at least 3 walls of shelving and clothes poles. In general well designed U-shaped closets and storage are very efficient in maximizing space. Proper design and installation of a walk-in closet will most often require the expertise of a closet or storage space specialist or contractor.

Locating the expertise that you need will depend on where you live. One of the easiest places to find assistance is you local home improvement store. Both Lowes and Home Depot provide simple closet layouts assistance. They also have contractors that can install your closet for you. If you live in an urban area most likely there will be closet and storage space designers and contractors that will provide you with the ideas and options that will meet all your storage needs.

Tips on Cooling Down Your Garage in the Summer

As summer bounces in, it's time to brace ourselves for rising temperatures and extreme heat and humidity. It's going to get mighty uncomfortable and if your garage isn't optimized for the heat, you can count on feeling as if you're being baked alive (think 110 degrees and above). If you're planning to spend some quality time doing your personal projects and/or repairs, you'll want to explore cooling solutions to make the time you spend in there more tolerable. Here are some ideas on how you can cool down your garage in the summer.

Shelf Unit Storage

Work with the garage door open. It's the easiest and cheapest solution - keep your garage door open while you're inside.

Shelf Unit Storage

Install insulation. Many homeowners neglect to insulate their garage, making it the single largest non-insulated space the home. Did you know that insulation is actually an energy saving solution? Proper insulation will help to drastically bring down your electric bill. It will keep your garage warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. If you haven't insulated your garage yet, consider doing this as a first step. If you haven't had your insulation checked for some time, now is the time to do it. Think about insulating your walls, your roof, and your garage door as well.

Install a ceiling or attic fan. This kind of fan operates by drawing hot air from inside the garage and exhausting or blowing it back outwards. The fan should be situated near the ceiling or higher than 4 feet above the floor. This will involve creating an opening on the wall of your garage, and you'll need a nearby electric outlet to plug the fan in.

Bring in an electric fan or evaporative cooler. You can put in a stand fan inside the garage. This will help to blow air towards you, but if the garage door isn't open it won't remove the hot air from the room; it will just blow it around. An evaporative cooler is a low cost alternative to an air conditioning unit. You put ice or water inside the unit and the machine blows cool air from the ice/water. Remember, though, that this may not be an entirely ideal solution - since you're blowing moist air it may cause rusting on your equipment and gadgets.

Consider putting in a whole house fan. If it's the entire house and not just your garage that's suffering from the heat, a whole house fan - the kind with the insulated duct that runs across the inside of your ceiling - is a great idea. You may need more than one fan depending on how many square foot of space you want to cover.

Install an air conditioning unit. If your garage is in the path of the afternoon sun and becomes really hot in the summer, an air conditioning unit may be your best solution. A/C units can cover bigger spaces and because they operate through Freon, they provide the coolest air.

De-clutter. When there are too many things in a room, there is less space for the air to circulate in. If you've been making your garage a store room, consider doing a thorough cleaning and get rid of stuff that you hardly use, aren't likely to use anymore, or that you don't need. Organize things neatly on shelves. If your garage doesn't have enough shelf space, consider installing shelves and/or cabinets. Storage space with doors will look neater and when the doors are closed there will be less crevices for the air to circulate in. The more free space there is, the better.

Don't park a hot car inside immediately. If you've been out in your car and are now coming home, park your car on the driveway for an hour or two to let it cool down before bringing it inside the garage. The metal parts of the car will radiate heat and add to the blistering heat inside.

There are many solutions for cooling down a garage. Study the differences in cost in order to find one that won't kill your budget. Remember to consult a garage specialist too to make sure that you're making the right choices.

Refrigerator's Air Circulation and Humidity

The refrigerator relies on forced air to transfer heat. Fans inside the appliance move air around. The faster the air flows, the more quickly the heat is removed. For this reason, you don't want to do anything to block the airflow. There are three basic types of forced-air systems in refrigerators. In ceiling-type refrigeration,
a single fan is mounted on the ceiling of the appliance. This is adequate for small-volume interiors but is not used in larger refrigerators. Because it only has a single location, it might allow for hot spots in the corners of the interior cabinet. In back-wall or mullion-type refrigeration, the airflow system takes in air above the top shelf and discharges it below the bottom shelf.

Shelf Unit Storage

The duct-type refrigeration system is a combination of the first two types. Here, the forced-air unit is located at or above ceiling level, and the air is circulated through a series of small air ducts vented to various spots on the back wall of the cabinet. Just how important is air circulation? Well, the difference between safe and unsafe raw foods can be as little as five to seven degrees Fahrenheit. Seafood, poultry, or red meats will spoil within 18 to 24 hours if their refrigerated temperature rises above 42 to 45 degrees
Fahrenheit, and you already know the HACCP guideline of temperatures no higher than 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Would you rather risk a lawsuit and the resulting negative publicity from food-poisoning allegations, or keep your refrigerator air circulating properly?

Shelf Unit Storage

Humidity is the amount of moisture (or water vapor) in the air. At different temperatures, air can hold different amounts of water. In refrigeration, the type of humidity we are interested in is the relative humidity, or how much of its maximum water-holding capacity the air contains at any given time, expressed as a percentage. For example, 85 percent humidity indicates that the air is holding 85 percent as much water as it could hold at that temperature. Relative humidity greatly affects the appearance and rate of deterioration of many foods. If the air surrounding the stored foods has a very low relative humidity, for instance, the air naturally picks up moisture from the foods themselves, causing surface discoloration, cracking, and drying.

If the air has a high relative humidity, some of the moisture will condense on food that is supposed to be kept dry, causing it to soften or grow mold or bacteria. Fortunately, most foods do well in a relative humidity of 80 to 85 percent. To achieve this optimum level, manufacturers are concerned that the refrigerator's evaporator coils be large enough to operate at a temperature a few degrees lower than the desired temperature of the appliance. This differential reduces the amount of moisture that accumulates on the evaporator coils and keeps the moisture in the cabinet of the refrigerator instead. If the coils' temperature becomes too low, however, the moisture will turn to ice crystals and get stuck on
the coils.

In this case, airflow through the system is blocked and the moisture in the refrigerated space is depleted. As you can see, getting all the factors right is a delicate balance, with your food costs and food quality at stake. In short, it is difficult to keep frost off the coils but necessary to keep them frost-free so they will operate properly. Adding heat to the area, to defrost the coils, can compromise the temperature of the food inside. A fairly new concept from Hussman Modular Defrost of Bridgeton, Missouri, does just what its name indicates: defrosts the coil in sections. The automated system defrosts coils at no more than nine minutes per section, and never defrosts adjacent sections at the same time, all programmed by an electronic controller capable of running up to six walk-ins.

The idea works for walk-in and reach-in refrigerators but not freezers. It maintains food quality and saves energy by keeping the compressors from working overtime to compensate for frozen coils. Another humidity-control suggestion for inside refrigerated space was pioneered by Humitech International Group, Inc. of Dallas, Texas. Humitech uses a mineral product called sorbite to absorb moisture and odors.

We mentioned most foods do well at 80 to 85 percent relative humidity, but fresh fruits and vegetables are exceptions. They require more humidity, up to 95 percent. To increase moisture content, you can slow down the air circulation. This explains why there are separate, closed produce bins in most refrigerators-to hold in natural moisture from the vegetables and to restrict airflow.

Freezers maintain an average relative humidity of only 30 to 35 percent. Any more moisture would automatically raise the temperature because it would hit the coils, freeze in place, and block the airflow, causing the freezer air to become warmer. The low humidity of freezers requires special food storage precautions. Use moisture- and vapor-proof wrapping to prevent the surface damage we know as "freezer burn" from occurring if any moisture condenses on the food.

Storage Rooms For Flammable Chemicals

An inside storage room permits the storage of larger quantities of flammable and combustible liquids. However, there are specific requirements for its design and construction that must be followed to protect not only the workers but the general public and the environment.

Shelf Unit Storage

A storage room for flammable chemicals must be constructed to meet the required fire-resistance rating for its use. It must comply with the following test specifications outlined in the National Fire Prevention Association Standard Methods of Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials, NFPA 251-1969:

Shelf Unit Storage

It is recommended that a storage room for flammable liquids be located along an exterior wall because of the danger of explosion. A fire protection system for an inside storage room is a sprinkler system, water spray, carbon dioxide or other system that has been approved by local fire authorities. If an automatic sprinkler system is present, it must be designed and installed according to code. The maximum allowable size for a storage room inside a building is 500 square feet. Openings to other rooms or buildings must be provided with non-combustible, liquid-tight, raised sills or ramps, at least 4 inches below the surrounding floor. Approved self-closing fire doors must be used. The room must be liquid-tight where walls join the floor. An open-grated trench inside the room which drains to a safe place might be an acceptable alternative to the sill or ramp. If a lot of flammable liquids are transferred in and out of the room using hand trucks, this might be preferable. Windows in other exposed properties or exposed portions of the building must be protected as outlined in NFPA Standard for Fire Doors and Windows. Electrical Wiring and equipment located in an inside storage room used for Class I liquids must be approved under Subpart S, Electrical, for Class I, Division 2 Hazardous Locations. If storing only Class II and Class III, electrical wiring shall be approved for general use. An approved ventilation system must be installed.

Since flammable vapors are heavier than air, they hang low to the floor and can accumulate and move toward sources of ignition or other non-compatible chemicals. The ventilation system is vital in preventing flammable vapors from accumulating enough to cause an explosion or liquid fire. Every inside storage room must have either a gravity or mechanical exhausting system which provides a complete change of air within the room at least 6 times an hour. The switch for a mechanical venting system also controls all room lighting and must be located outside the storage room. If gravity venting is provided, the fresh air intake and the exhaust outlet from the room must be on the exterior of the building in which the storage room is located.

Additional Requirements:

Inside every storage room, an aisle at least 3 feet wide must be maintained, allowing for easy movement in the room. This is necessary to reduce the potential for spilling or damaging containers and to provide access for firefighting and a ready escape path from the room if a fire occurs. If wood is used for shelves, it must be at least 1 inch thick and it may also be used for racks, dunnage, scuffboards, floor overlay, etc.. Chemicals are not to be stored on unfinished wooden shelves. Finished metal or high density plastic (polypropylene) is recommended shelving for most chemicals. If wood is used, it must be sealed with a good grade oil based paint, natural or synthetic varnish. Proper segregation of chemicals must be maintained inside the storage room. Incompatible chemicals must be stored at a distance from each other or possible in partitioned areas. Chemicals should be stored at eye level to decrease chance of spilling or breakage and for ease of identification. Labels must be complete, legible and up to date. MSDS information must be available for all chemicals stored. At least 1 portable fire extinguisher with a rating of not less than 12-B units must be located outside the storage room, no more than 10 feet from the door opening into the room. Materials which react with water shall not be stored in the same room with flammable or combustible liquids. Containers over 30 gallons capacity must not be stacked on top of others.

Dispensing of chemicals is by an approved pump or self-closing faucet, or closed piping system. If flammable liquids are dispensed inside the storage room, a pilot light must be installed adjacent to the switch.

Storage Capacity

This depends upon the availability of a sprinkling system and the fire rating of the storage room. One with a fire rating of 2 hours and equipped with sprinklers is allowed to store a greater quantity of chemicals. If fire protection is present in a room that has a 2 hours fire resistance rating, storage allowed is 10 gallons per square foot. If there is no fire protection in this room, 4 gallons of chemicals per square foot is allowed. In a room that has a Fire Resistance Rating of 1 hour, with fire protection, the storage space is decreased to 150 square feet. The amount of flammable chemicals that can be kept in this room is 5 gallons per square foot. A room that has no fire protection and a fire resistance rating of 1 hour can store 2 gallons of flammable chemicals per square foot.

50 Ideas to Organize Your Home

"Organize" is a familiar word heard on many of today's popular decorating shows. Every family has its struggles with some type of clutter whether it is stacks of papers or a cluttered and cramped bathroom. In fact, the National Association of Professional Organizers reports that 80% of what we keep we never use, we wear 20% of the clothes we own while the other 80% hangs there just in case, and 25% of adults say they pay bills late because they lost them.

Shelf Unit Storage

If you have stacks of papers, frazzled mornings, or lost car keys, use the following ideas to help you organize your family and home.

Shelf Unit Storage

Evenings/Mornings:

1. If you have rushed mornings, make lunches, set out clothes, and put everything you need for the next day in a designated area the night before. Have kids pack homework and books in their backpack so they will be ready for the next day.

2. Place your purse, briefcase and keys in a designated area every day so you always know where they are.

3. Decide the night before what is on the menu for breakfast the next morning. If the family is to have cereal, set out the cereal boxes, bowls, and spoons.

4. Make a "to do" list for the next day and organize it according to what task needs to be completed first.

5. Fill the gas tank the day before so you won't have to worry about getting gas if you are running late the next morning.

Bathrooms:

6. To organize countertop clutter, purchase a plastic tub with a handle on top. Place all of your accessories such as hair spray and lotion, in the tub and place under the counter. Take the tub out when you are ready to use it and then put it back under the counter when you are finished with it.

7. To organize your shower, buy shower caddies to place your soaps and shampoos in. There are numerous styles available in many discount and fine department stores.

8. To help keep your shower doors clean, buy a water squeegee (like you use on your windows) and place it in the shower. When you are done taking a shower just wipe down the doors with the squeegee and you'll have a clean and dry shower door. Many of the squeegees come with a whole in the handle, which is convenient for hanging it up in the shower with a suction cup.

9. Install a straight magnet in your medicine cabinet for tweezers, nail clippers, and scissors.

10. Store reading material in a decorative magazine rack. As you add new magazines, throw away the older ones to keep the magazine rack from overflowing.

11. Throw away items in your bathroom that are old or you don't use anymore, such as make-up, lotions, prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, old razors, sunscreen, and perfume.

12. If you are out of space in your bathroom cabinets for towels, roll them up and display them in a decorative basket next to the shower or bath tub.

13. Install hooks on the back of your bathroom door or wall space for towels and robes.

14. Use drawer organizers for makeup, jewelry, ponytail holders, and other loose items.

15. Place a shelving unit above the toilet for storing extra towels, washcloths, and other accessories.

16. Put a clock in each bathroom so everyone can be on time.

Closet:

17. Place baskets in your closet for laundry and dry cleaning.

18. Sort through your clothes and anything you don't wear anymore, bag and donate to a local charity. This includes clothes that are no longer in fashion, no longer fit, or clothes you haven't worn in a year. Also, get rid of those worn out and/or uncomfortable shoes you no longer wear.

19. Separate your clothes by season. If you have a tall closet with several rows of rods, place current seasons clothes on the lowest level and move out of season clothes on the tallest rods.

20. Categorize your clothes by purpose, such as work, casual, and formal.

21. Gather all unused wire hangers and take them to the dry cleaners to recycle.

22. Hang scarves on a hanger or scarf rack. Also, hang belts and ties on hangers or racks.

23. Use a shoe rack to keep shoes organized and throw out shoe boxes that clutter the floor.

24. Install hooks on the closet wall to hang up hats and purses.

25. Store clothes that you want to save in a vacuum sealed plastic bag. These bags pack down for storing under the bed or in a closet. Remember to save only the clothes that you think will be worn!

Kitchen:

26. Organize your cabinets into several categories such as plates, glasses, Tupperware, kid's plates and sippy cups. Place the plates on one shelf, the glasses on another shelf, and so on. This way when you empty the dishwasher, you or other family members will always know where everything goes.

27. Group your foods together in the pantry for easy access and to help you identify when inventory is getting low. For example, group together your canned goods, cereals, pasta, etc.

28. Place all packets (gravy, Jell-O, sauces) in a basket and place on shelf.

29. Purchase a spice rack that works best for your cabinet. Alphabetize your spices and place frequently used spices on the front of the rack and all others towards the back of the rack.

30. For all of those plastic containers and Tupperware items, dedicate one cabinet or drawer for those items and try to purchase stackable containers to maximize your space.

31. Save your countertop space for items you use daily. Only display cookbooks that you really use and if possible store your canister set in your pantry instead of on the counter.

32. If you have a collection of clipped recipes that are filling drawers and countertop space, purchase a three-ring binder in a color that matches your decor, a box of plastic sheet protectors (to protect your recipes), paper, and a set of dividers with tabs. Glue each recipe onto a piece of paper (use front and back of each piece of paper) and then place into a sheet protector. Categorize recipes (breakfast, desert, etc.), label the tabs, and place recipes in binder. Additional tip, if you purchase a binder that has pockets, store clipped recipes that you want to try in the pockets before adding them to your collection.

33. Do you have mounds of plastic bags from the grocery store? Place about 10 bags inside of 1 bag and throw the rest away. You can always get more the next time you go to the grocery store.

34. Get in a habit of cleaning out your refrigerator every time you bring home groceries. Dispose of any food that is no longer edible or your family is not going to eat.

Kid's Room:

35. In a boy's room, put a basketball hoop over a laundry basket for slam-dunking dirty clothes.

36. Place a two-compartment hamper in your kid's room so he or she can sort light clothes from dark clothes as they undress.

37. String a clothesline in your child's room and have your child clothespin his or her favorite artwork.

38. Hang a fish net from the ceiling to store stuffed animals, dolls, or action figures.

39. Add a bookshelf and help your child organize their books.

40. Buy the kids their own alarm clocks and teach them how to get up on time.

Misc.

41. Make sure everything in your house has a home. Teach all family members to mind their own messes. For example, if you take it out, put it back; if you open it, close it; if you throw it down, pick it up; if you make a mess, clean it up; and so on.

42. Put wastebaskets in every room and place several unused trash bags in the bottom of each one. This will eliminate countless trips to retrieve new trash bags and give all family members a place to throw away their trash.

43. Place a decorative basket on the coffee table to keep remote controls in.

44. Use a plastic caddy (instead of shelf space) to store cleaning supplies in and tote it from room to room.

45. Keep baskets or tubs for toys in every room for fast pickup and play time.

46. For kids' outdoor toys, purchase a weatherproof, bench-style storage box and store toys inside. Also, gather all outdoor balls and place into a large, mesh drawstring bag and store in garage.

47. Each night before bedtime, have all family members pick up clutter for 15 minutes. Make a game out of it and see who can pick up the most things in the shortest amount of time.

48. Create a family message center on the refrigerator or other prominent place and use it for shopping lists, reminders, calendars, and phone messages.

49. Make a master grocery list on your computer from a spreadsheet or Word document. Categorize the groceries into sections such as frozen, dairy, and so on. In each category, list the most frequent items that you buy. Organize the grocery list according to the way your favorite grocery store's isles are set up. Print copies and keep one copy handy for the current week. When you see you are low on a product or you're preparing your grocery list for the week, simply highlight whatever items you need. Keep the document current by adding new items and/or deleting items you no longer buy. Also, create a space on the document for Misc. items where your family members can write down what they need that is not on your list.

50. Create an in box on your desk for papers (bills, permission slips, etc.) that need your attention.

The goal of organizing isn't to make your home pristine but rather to make your life more calm and functional. Work with the above ideas and you will end up having less clutter, a simplified home, more quality time for yourself and your family, and improved productivity.

En Suite Bathroom Design Ideas

Shelf Unit Storage

Just as there is a trend towards connecting the kitchen with living/dining areas for social reasons, so it is with the bedroom and bathroom designs. As families become more and more fragmented because of increasing time spent away from home pursuing work, study and pastime commitments, time actually spent in the home has become a precious commodity and the desire for the company of family members strong. The en-suite bathroom in modern tunes is a necessity rather than a luxury. Not only does it allow for bathroom functions to be carried out in privacy, but provides a more companionable ambiance if you wish.

Shelf Unit Storage

If you are considering forming an en-suite bathroom where none has previously existed, you might think of cutting into the bedroom space if the conversion of an adjacent room is not feasible. If you choose to follow this route, take care not to compromise both rooms by spoiling the architecture of the bedroom and providing too small a space adequately to accommodate all the bathroom equipment you need. If space is very limited, building in a whole wall of cupboard units within the bedroom, one to house a basin and WC, another for a shower and perhaps a further one for hanging clothes may prove the most aesthetically pleasing configuration.

Bathroom Decorating Ideas For The En-Suite

Because the en-suite bathroom is likely to be for the sole use of the occupant(s) of the adjacent bedroom, it can be tailored to their needs without consideration for others. The adult en-suite bathroom can be styled without regard to the assaults a family bathroom is likely to undergo.

Wallpaper might be considered and the bedroom carpet continued into the bathroom (with mats to protect potentially wet areas). Pictures might be hung and more items of furniture incorporated. Drapes around the bath might also be considered. If this is your approach, ensure that there is adequate ventilation (to the exterior where practical) to prevent condensation. Internal bathrooms (without a window) are required to be vented and this is frequently operated automatically with the light switch.

En Suite Bathroom Remodeling Ideas

If the bathroom and bedroom are to work successfully together, their schemes need to relate, while at the same time maintaining their own individual character. An effective way of achieving this is by reversing the bedroom scheme in the bathroom - that is, taking the bedroom accent color and using this as the main color for the bathroom, and adopting the main bedroom color as an accent color in the bathroom.

As more and more husbands and wives now both work, bathroom 'collisions' become increasingly likely. To prevent these it is a good idea, where space and budget permit, for facilities to be doubled up. A double sink arrangement, a bath and a shower and two WCs will all help to make preparations for the day or for sleep a speedier and more convenient process.

For the ultimate in luxury, the inclusion of a dressing room in your suite, if at all possible, will not only free cupboard space in the bedroom but will also allow for one partner to dress without waking the other.

When planning a kitchen we are accustomed to thinking in terms of fitted furniture, so why not in the bathroom which also has to house unsightly equipment and cumbersome plumbing? A framed and paneled bath with drapes, a basin enclosed in a vanity unit, and built-in shelves around a hot water tank or to fill an awkward recess all help to relieve storage problems and give the bathroom a more streamlined profile.

Building a Garage Shelf and Cabinet Unit

Last month I set out looking to build a storage shelf for my garage. The idea was to combine a tool storage cabinet with a multi-purpose shelf. Seeing that I have a 1-car garage, the shelf would be fixed to the ceiling.

Shelf Unit Storage

Initially, the plan was to build the storage shelf/cabinet out of wood. I knew the measurements of my garage, and started out by sketching out some simple plans. Soon enough, however, I realized that a wooden shelf would not only be too heavy for the joining beams of the ceiling, it would also not be very sturdy. After doing more research, it turned out that wooden shelves have a tendency to warp over time under heavy loads, which can cause disastrous consequences. I could not trust a wooden shelf to hold 3 bicycles, some shovels and gardening equipment, plus all my car tools.

Shelf Unit Storage

With wood out of the equation, I turned to metal. The only metal alloy that would be lightweight enough yet rigid and reliable enough to be used as a shelf rack is of course aluminum. After settling on aluminum as a solution to my cabinet and shelf, I set out to search for materials. After a trip to the local hardware store, I realized that cutting and bolting aluminum bars together would be difficult, as I also required bolts that would be able to withstand the weight of all that is stored within the rack. Furthermore, while it fit my requirements perfectly, aluminum was several times more expensive than wood, and each extra inch of aluminum that I'd buy meant that money was being wasted.

After searching online, I was able to find manufacturers of aluminum T-slotted profile framing systems. Aluminum profiles and framing systems are basically bars that are extruded in a special shape as to easily come together. Think of it as a large size version of LEGO. Furthermore, almost all T-slotted aluminum profile manufacturers are able to ship the profiles in exact measurements to the nearest inch.

If I was going to spend my time and money ordering aluminum profiles, the next step was to find a way to design the garage shelving properly. My drawing on a napkin was no longer cutting it and I decided to turn to digital technologies. Most of the manufacturers recommended that I use AutoCAD, which is a 00 CAD program for design engineers and professionals. After downloading the trial version of AutoCAD and playing around with it for 2 hours, I couldn't even draw a basic box from aluminum profiles.

I then found a free program called Frame Designer, which was pretty much like MS Paint for aluminum profiles. While it didn't have any of the advanced features advertised in AutoCAD, it was 100% free and extremely easy to use, not to mention the fact that Frame Designer came packed with its' own extensive catalog of aluminum profiles. Frame Designer even automatically calculates where to place joints and connections depending on what you draw. Finally, I was able to come up with a digital version of my garage cabinet/shelf in under an hour.

Overall, I would definitely recommend using aluminum frames or profiles over any other material for such projects. Not only are aluminum profiles lightweight and virtually indestructible, working with them was incredibly easy and assembly was painless, requiring only a Philips screwdriver. Of course, if you're going to go as far as using aluminum profiles for your garage shelving project, I would highly recommend that you use one of the modern computer-based design programs that I described earlier. Not only does using a computer save you time, it also saves you a lot of pains in calculating and figuring out what bolts, nuts, screws, and fixtures you really need.

Building Your Own Vanity Unit

If you can a small bathroom and not much space for storage then a vanity unit is just for you. You can mount to the wall and have selves inside hidden away for your toothbrush, shaver etc. You can also have a mirror on the front to save space as well.

Shelf Unit Storage

Below are directions on how to build a vanity unit...

Shelf Unit Storage

Measure the space where the vanity is going to go ensuring you get accurate measurements. If you do not get precise measurement you could put all the hard work in then the unit may not fit.

Draw a picture of what you want the vanity unit to be like on paper to scale so you have an idea in your mind of what the unit will look like finished. You must decide whether you would like draws or shelves. You can purchase the draws or make them yourself.

You must then choose what material you would like to use. I suggest wood as it will be the easiest for you to make but you can choose from wood, metal, glass, plastic etc. Make sure the material you choose goes with the rest of the deco in the bathroom and purchase a little more than is needed in case you do something wrong.

Cut the material to the size and shape you require then build it together like a box. Attached hinges to one side and attached the door then the selves inside then attached to the wall. If you would like a mirror on the front glue this on after but make sure you make where you would like it to go so you fix it on straight.
