That is very cool! I just installed two home depot two flush toilets- I love how fast the things stop flushing. My dad also just replaced a 30 year old toilet with a two-f...

Wow! Great work! I love projects like this!

Porcelain tile is also impervious to water- therefore better protection of the frame underneath. However, I would not want to lift and set one of those monsters.

Repurposing the fur into other things is good. People that wear fur coats would not wear the old grandma coats anyway. However, I would never wear or buy fur anyway. Leath...

How horrible! Two reasons; 1. Stealing someone's design 2. Excessive waste of electricity

I am doing the same thing. What I have done is I am using a very large subway tile (4" high, 12" wide). I am using for grout a grey/silver which gives a different look, yet conventional.

Dancingspring, I hate that ad as well! What a blatant play on people's fear of drinking water! So what if your toilet water comes from the same source! Actual...

I hope that this stool is hollowed out. If it is solid it will weigh a ton! Also, wasteful use of waste material is still wasteful. Personnally, I would not want something made from po...

If it is uncomfortable, it cannot be green (waste of resources)

I replaced our (broken) glass sleeve with a polycarbonate one years ago, because my wife kept breaking them. Since then I have not needed a replacement.

What's wrong with the old toilet seat? Are the previous tenants so gross that you need to change it? A greener solution is keep the old seat, but give it a good clean. Hec...

On The McGill university campus in Montreal there is a building with a brick wall in the alley that has cat paw prints on the bricks. My sister was taking photos (she loves cats&...

Very nice looking! But the notion of making something fragile so that it lasts longer is rediculous!

Brilliant! Now if the handle/ spout could be made of recycled PET.

Personally I hate this thing. As a designer, the grip offends me- you hand fights to keep a hold on it. I am even more offended and ashamed as Karim went to the same school as I did, and should kno...

My wife and I bought a house three years ago. What was a triplex (2 apts on the 2nd floor) is now a 1200 square foot single unit. We have huge amounts of space for us, even with all the stuff we ha...

Unfortunately, Hypertufa IS NOT very green. Hypertufa is a mix of Portland cement and Peat Moss. Peat Moss is harvested from Peat Bogs, which are very sensitive and necessary habitats...

Bogart was the best!

This isnt a very green chair- it should use RECYCLED cardboard. Also, the slots and tabs assembly will wear out within a week. To make it better, some folds in the traverses coul...

A note about dimmer switches- dimmers are more prone to shorting out and waste electricity as well. I suggest using lower wattage bulbs instead of dimmers
