I wash my face, shave and brush my teeth before I shower to utilize the cold water being purged from my hot water pipes. Of course, I wouldn't be able to do that without the wall heater next ...

We have UHT out in the field in the army. When I was sick in the desert it was a good way to help get food or medicine down. But only when chilled. I dont know why I didnt see this bein...

Ah, California. Land of crazy morons who pay $1M for a 1,000sqft home. Not enough earthquakes or fires.

Re: plant in the bathroom. Awesome idea. to put a plant near the vanity. The spot with the most light in bathrooms without windows. But be careful with any haircare products that...

Oh- and I updated to a coffeemaker that grinds before it brews, and was able to get rid of my alarm clock. I hear the coffeemaker grind the beans then just when I'm about to fall back asleep ...

Having moved from Iowa to Portland, the last 2 comments hit the nail on the head- 20min to downtown isnt a bad deal for an awesome place to live. The houseboats along the Columbia and along the Wil...
