Hmm, used to use straight kool-aid to clean some of the fire equipment on navy ships. I'll have to revisit this non-toxic idea. And yes, we would drink the same stuff with sugar added on the mess deck (made separately of course).

I used Art's and JPK's idea when I first moved into my place, mainly to mitigate any noise I was generating into the common area. Also to keep the heat in during the winter. Using the Sweeper and weather stripping the door didn't completely contain my noise level (TV or radio) but reduced it and that's fine by me. The weatherproofing also softend the "slamming" my door would make. And being on the ground floor near a utility room and the front entrance, the Sweeper kept the sneaky crickets from crawling underneath my front door. It also hides my presence behind the door since there's no light passing underneath. Now the only way you know I'm there is if the light blinks out behind the peephole.

I'm interested in locating the brackets used for the ceiling shelf. I like how they look and that they hold some great weight. I've been wanting to do something similar to my living room. Love the whole layout. Was that a double oven I saw in the kitchen? Kewl!
