Comments (3)If you are planning on having this built you need to discuss it with the carpenter and have him draw up plans. If you are looking for premade cabinetry it is doubtful you will find something that will accommodate the pole. We would be able to make further suggestions once you have a plan for the cabinet as far as storage and design. From what you are looking for I suggest a full wall built in cabinet customized for your needs....See MoreHow to keep the house warm and the power bill down this winter?
Comments (9)Clear any shrubs / trees / weeds, away from around the house - not saying go out with a chainsaw and slash everything down to the ground but make sure there is nothing higher than the window frames directly around the house or even leaning on the house. Taller tree's may be able to be pruned to allow more light through e.g. lift the bottom of the growth up higher by removing lower branches or thin out branches from within the canopy. Bring in as much sun as you can during the day. If you are planting a new garden, always look at the height of the tree's when they mature and if possible mix some trees that lose their leaves in winter so you obtain maximum sun. Check your insulation e.g. last year I added a new layer of insulation onto of my existing ceiling insulation. If you have dampness under your house maybe look at channelling water away from the house with what ever means you can afford e.g. professional drains right around the house or just dig trenches. You may wish / need to add black plastic over any clay / ground under your house if you are not on a flat concrete block based house. Open curtains during the day. Dress to the conditions. If you can't afford to heat the entire house just heat the room(s) you are using but make sure the non heated rooms get ventilation from time to time (especially lovely sunny days). Pile the blankets on the bed and even use a blanket over your legs if you are sitting watching TV or working on your computer. Think SUN SUN SUN. If you are renting and the house you are in gets very little sun, now is the time to start looking for something that gets more sun. Winter is the best time to look....See MoreTips to make my home pet friendly
Comments (3)I teach my dogs that the kitchen is out of bounds. That way they don't get under your feet and you can move around confidently knowing you won't stand on them. Also, be consistent with the rules of the house and ensure you walk Pancake every day! It's a good balancer and they need to 'sniff' to see what is going on in the dog world. I also feed them after a walk, then they know when dinner time is, even if it is an hour earlier, it doesn't matter. It is also a good idea to insist they sit before getting into their food, they too can have manners. Just don't leave them sitting too long when training them. If they start to move, before they look at you to give the ok command, try and say ok as quickly as they are moving into to eat. Practice makes perfect. Enjoy Pancake, she looks adorable....See MoreTiling consistency
Comments (1)Hi there. If the tile you have has character, you could pull a colour from some of that character, for example if the tile had a beige fleck through out you could use a similar beige tile in the bedroom, otherwise just choose something that compliments the tile well to create a soft transition. Then use the colour of the existing tile in the room somewhere, with your bed linen for example or bedside lamp. Feel free to share an image of the existing tile....See Moreplowman5
