Pool Equipment

Finally got to replace the Bolt filter that has been a pain in my knuckles for some time. New 2 speed pumps save lots of energy. Calcs show this new system will save the owner a few dollars each day and with the decreased cost in maintenance will pay itself off rather quickly. The fact that the new pumps and filter clean the water so much faster and effectively are the important part.

Decorating a Childs Room to Look Like a Jungle

When designing a child's room, you want to create an atmosphere that inspires and stimulates them mentally. The room should be interesting to the child, and should reinforce both rational thinking, and creativity. One way to achieve this goal is with a fun science based theme, which will present a topic in the natural world in an exciting manner.

The jungle is a dark and mysterious place, full of dense shrubs, towering trees, and shadows within which any number of strange animals could be lurking. It is a place of predators and prey.

If you present it in the right way, a jungle-themed child's room can be

Concrete Countertops

So we did a project a while ago that is a bit unique. Owner wanted concrete countertops and the design was such that they needed to be built in place. The tops needed to be less than 2 inches thick and integrated backsplashes needed to be less than an inch thick. There was a want for caps on two areas that the owner wanted darker, almost black with the rest to be grey and just a bit darker than your basic sidewalk. We added black and white granite to expose in the tops.

I promised the owner that the tops would crack and so far, I have not kept that promise. With over 40 square feet of area and several corners and penatrations, I was expecting several cracks. With the thin tops and backs there should have been cracks. Pouring these counters in place and grinding and polishing is not an easy process. After completing this project I have some new ideas for some other tops and even some walls, in place with various finishes. I so love this stuff.

It is based upon the simple thought that our lives are deeply affected
