Delta Faucet Company is good to me...
I was in the Military for several years. I was also a real estate investor so I have moved several times. There are a few things that my wife and I enjoy in our home (where ever that may be) so we install a few things right away.

What's your favorite thing to do when you move?
Thumbs up on the programmable thermostat. No need to waste heat or air when you forget to turn it down after leaving the house, or going to bed. Save some energy! Make sure to get low flow shower heads as well so you can stand and wait for three minutes until all the suds are out of your hair. :rolleyes: Low flow = I don't like the sound of that. Dimmers are nice, timed lights are nice as well. Saves energy when the family lights up the house like the 4th of July. Can you tell I'm an energy star? :D |

Next to me I also have 3 tv's, 5 consoles and a DVD player. Needless to say, That's ALOT of wires. So when I settle into somewhere, the first thing I need to manage is wires. I get a length of flex pipe, and pipe all the wires through it, and toward the most logical power supply, While labeling everything for ease of use. Second, I have a light sensitivity problem, probably from being around so much of it glaring in my face. So I switch everything to a very soft light, as well as dimming the lights. Third, and really the most important. I choose a spot in the yard, and I dig a deep hole, maybe 4 feet deep, and 2 feet wide. Inside I build a wooden box for support. and I place my steel fire/water proof safe inside. Place the wooden lid on top, and bury it again. Sounds like paranoia. But I place all of my most important documents inside. Any legal or medical records,. As well as an emergency credit card. Should my house burn down, or I be robbed blind. I still have things I can use to restart my life. It's a little bit of work, but its an investment thats worth it. |
The hole out back...

I only have 2 flat panels tv's, and 3 computers on all day. I like to install a motion sensor light in the master closet, mainly because I refuse to get out of bed to turn that light off. It goes off and on by itself... |
Lol no, No old car. The safe is a key and combination lock. Of course assuming you knew it was there, you would have to dig 4 feet into my yard without me or my dog hearing you, as well as lift it out and make off with it. Unlikely.
As for the motion sensor. Thats a pretty damn good idea. Even if you implemented it into other areas of your home. Maybe near the stairs or in the bathroom. Would certainly conserve electricity and avoid fumbling for a light. |
Heck, I don't know why lighting companies don't make interior lights motion sensitive. That would be a nice feature on many closet and hall lighting fixtures.
