Home Depot really made Sandy Fischler hot under the collar when they failed to install a new whole house fan during one of the hottest summers ever in Southern California. Sandy had a previous bad experience with Home Depot, and sold stock she owned in the company. She now drives seven miles out of her way to go to Lowe's.
Outdoor fountains can be found in my backyard. My wife loves our outdoor water fountains, and so do the birds. The outdoor garden fountains I have installed have performed well over time. The key is to purchase the right sized pump for your outdoor fountain.
Cabinet hardware and door hardware is found at hardware stores that specialize in these products. The hardware stores most of us have visited sell thousands of different products like nuts, bolts, nails, screening, etc. Home hardware is found at the rapidly-disappearing corner hardware stores and the giant home centers.
Solar power can solve our energy crisis. Solar power panels are many, and they are getting more efficient and cheaper each day. The advantages and disadvantages of solar power are changing so that solar energy is becoming very attractive to many who want home solar power.
Plumbing consulting can help you if you want to tackle a large plumbing job. Some cities and states allow you to do your own plumbing jobs, but you may need plumbing design help for your diy plumbing job. It is a smart move to get plumbing consulting help before you get into water over your head.
A privacy fence can offer you lots of peace. Privacy fences can be made from a variety of materials. Vinyl privacy fence is acceptable, but a wood privacy fence is great as well. Evergreen bushes and trees might be a better choice to create privacy. Privacy fence designs are as abundant as stars in the sky.
A window box is a wonderful way to add color and beauty to the exterior of a home. A window box planter can be made from many materials, but I prefer waterproof ones. Metal window boxes can be used, but be sure to use ones that will never rust or need maintenance. Because window boxes are heavy and can fall, the installation methods and fasteners used to connect them to a house are very critical.
Garage cabinets work well to get rid of clutter. Garage storage cabinets don't have to be brand new or expensive. Cabinets for garage storage can come from a kitchen remodel job or even an old house where gorgeous built-in cabinets are being demolished. The best storage cabinets for a garage, in my opinion, are old cabinets that can be used again instead of cluttering up a landfill.
Wallpaper borders can really add a colorful or distinctive flair to a room. I have a tropical-themed wallpaper border in a basement bathroom that is gorgeous. Discount wallpaper borders can be bought in many places, but beware. Remember, you get what you pay for. High-quality wallpaper borders cost a little more money, but they are really worth it.
