Implementing Rainwater Harvesting Systems

Implementing Rainwater Harvesting Systems – Although rainwater harvesting can bring many benefits to consumers and the water industry as a whole (read our previous blog here), it is not always clear how to effectively promote and increase the uptake of this practice. 

RWH systems can be established relatively easily with local skills and resources, using simple and easy-to-maintain technologies that are inexpensive to install. RWH systems can be modular, allowing for expansion, reconfiguration or relocation, and can be easily retrofitted to an existing structure or built in during new construction.  However, despite the many benefits, it is often difficult for households to implement rainwater harvesting.  The initial installation cost of RWH systems in residential housing is relatively high and is a common barrier to implementation.

Things To Consider When Renovating A Bathroom

Things To Consider When Renovating A Bathroom – Make no mistake: remodeling your bathroom will cost you time, money, and maybe even a few gray hairs. The cost can range from “a few thousand dollars to remodel an existing bathroom to six figures for a high-end master bathroom renovation,” says HomeAdvisor’s Dan DiClerico. But if you’re a smart spender, the investment will probably pay off.

The trick is to choose upgrades that go with your lifestyle and routines – maybe you need a bathtub because you’ll literally be stepping into it every day; wall niche if there is no place to store shampoo; two sinks because brushing your teeth shouldn’t be a fight with your elbows. “We ask a lot of questions about daily routine and storage needs, and emphasize function first,” explains Britt Zunino of Studio DB. Happiness is the ultimate goal: According to the National Association of Realtors’ … Read the rest

Finding Comfort In Every Detail

Finding Comfort In Every Detail – Today in the store I was overwhelmed by frenzied shoppers racing their shopping carts down the aisle while screaming children begged for anything within reach. I found an empty hallway to escape into and took deep, cleansing breaths to find a moment of serenity. It only took a moment before a cart came around the corner. It was an older woman of petite stature, dressed in a Christmas vest with a turtleneck underneath sprinkled with candy canes. There was a can of pumpkin pie mix in her cart. I noticed that she seemed a little naïve as she leaned against her car for support. Her small, weathered hands had no ring on one finger as she grabbed the cart pole and pushed past me. Our eyes met for a moment and I smiled and said, “Merry Christmas.” She replied, “I wish that were true. … Read the rest
