Kyle,

Someone finally asked... what are the paint colors you used!? Love them! And I think I need them too!

As you unpack, pile like items with like items--all office supples together, all medicines, all paperwork, all craft supplies, all kitchen stuff, etc. Then pick one group of items and ruthlessly go through them... when you see the 300 pens in one place, it's very easy to pick the ones you like and put the rest into the Outbox. By seeing all your things in one group, I found it's easier to let go of a lot more. Then put those items where they should "live".

Another trick I learned was to give yourself permission to "table" or get rid of a project. Maybe your office supplies only occupy a small space but you have too many books--So go through your books and just toss the supplies in a box and leave it! Don't even think about it! You'll know when it will be time to go through it and then everything will be all together waiting for your approval.

I haven't noticed a change in water pressure. The filter has to be changed every six months. The only weird thing about the filter is there is a 5-6 second delay when you change the temperature...

Brutto is a rocket scientist so is really into weighing the technology with the cost...

Crazy-busy week but I'll get the name of the water filter for you this weekend. Maybe I'll try to download a picture of it!

This made me laugh--recently our two dogs had a tete-a-tete with a skunk... We ran to the internet and the recipe to get rid of skunk is a bottle of peroxide, 1/4 c. of baking soda, and a capful of baby shampoo or liquid dish soap. It worked like a charm!
