DOING BETTER ...

DOING BETTER ...

Ok...so I've survived the day. The morning was terrible, but mother called & we met for lunch, had a good visit, then I went to the tanning bed & caught a 20 minute power nap. When I came home I felt much better. This afternoon I ended up napping again for about 2 hours. Guess I needed that. Been emotionally drained lately.

Mother's right. I've been going through a grieving process regarding my marriage. Thank God Billy's understanding about it.

Other than that, that's been my day, but at least I'm feeling somewhat better now. Mom told me I just need to change my perspective about a few things. Like this being MY home, rather than Ron's & my home. Afterall, Sandy left it to ME...not ronnie. That helped. She's got a pretty good perspective on things sometimes.

Mom's having some health problems. I think she's fighting congestive heart failure. She's got serious heart problems anyway. Her feet & legs are very swollen & painful & there's no other explanation for it other than her heart. Which means her days really could be numbered which is scary. Mom's been a lot of help to me lately. Although sometimes she can be a bit overbearing. Nevertheless, we're finally getting along well, which really means our relationship has come a very long way from what it used to be like.

Well, that's about it for now. I'm taking sister to get some new tires on her car tomorrow so she'll have a way to go. Then have laundry to do & a few other things to do. oh drudgery! Maybe I'll even wash my truck & Boomer tomorrow. We'll have to wait and see how I'm feeling in the morning when I wake up.

Well today i looked like a hoee.. it was so cool

Doorknobs - It Is A Good Thing They Were Invented

Doorknobs - It Is A Good Thing They Were Invented

Have you ever thought what it would be like without doorknobs? Like, how would your door stay shut? Or, what about privacy? You wouldn't have any because you wouldn't be able to lock your door? So, you might take them for granted, but in actuality, they are pretty important little fixtures.

Really, without doorknobs, opening and shutting doors would be pretty difficult, and it's a good thing that they were invented by a man named O. Dorsey back in the late 1800's.

One thing about doorknobs that you might not know is that there are actually different types and serve different purposes. For example, if you're looking for one to be put on your front door, then you want to go with an entryway doorknob. The reason being is that this version of this fixture has a cylindrical locking device that can be locked and opened with a key. Now, if you need one for your bedroom, then one of the privacy variety would be the way to go because it can also be locked, but does not require a key. The two other types available include passageway ones that do not lock, which can be used on a closet or hallway door, and dummy ones that are just there for show.

Along with the different types, doorknobs also come in a wide variety of styles, which is great for you because then you can easily find just the right ones to match the present décor of your space. For instance, you can get ones that are very sleek and modern looking, others that have an antique vibe to them, and ones that are also plainer and are on the traditional side. There are even ones that are on the colonial side and others that combine styles.

The reason why there are so many styles when it comes to doorknobs is because they are made out of a wide variety of materials. Like, the ones that have a modern feel would probably be made out of metal and would feature like a brushed stainless steel finish. Or, the ones that are antique would also be made out of metal, but would feature like a distressed finish. They could even be made from crystal or glass too.

A great way to check out all the doorknobs that you could purchase for your space is by going online and doing some shopping. Breezing through all the different sites is a synch and normally when you come across something you like, it will be at the best prices possible. Your selections will even be shipped right to your door, which is pretty convenient because you don't even have to leave your home to do it.

When it comes down to it, doorknobs are fixtures that are pretty important because without them, a lot of other things, like locking doors, would be pretty hard to do. So, don't take them for granted anymore and if you are thinking about purchasing some new ones for your home, remember to do your shopping online.

Antique Door Knobs - Unique Antique Collections

Antique Door Knobs - Unique Antique Collections

There are people who collect all sorts of thing. From dolls to bottle caps, there is a collection for nearly every personality. Some people even get all worked up over the old knobs on doors, and have started collections out of antique door knobs. We're not sure how this collection happened. Maybe is started when an old door was going to be thrown out and there was a nostalgic moment, and the knob was kept as a memory. Then that knob called out for more knobs, and a collecting frenzy was underway.

No matter the reason for them, antique door knob collections are very popular, and can be very expensive. Some antique door knob collectors are very serious about their trade. They know all there is to know about antique door knobs. If you think a door knob is a door knob, you're dead wrong.

In the last century antique door knobs have gone through a number of personality and design changes.
Instead of just being something used to open and close a door, door knobs back then were just as much a part of the house as the rest of the décor, and were expected to make a statement. For a while the job was relegated mostly to glass artists who created beautiful bubble glass knobs, lead crystal cut into jewel-like shapes, as well as amazing pieces of brass that were carved into extremely ornate patterns.

As time went on, styles of knobs came and went, and it was only in more modern times that the door knobs we used seemed to become a bit more boring, and just looked at as things that are meant to open a door.

It's possible the boring state of today's door knobs is what caused many hardware manufacturers to go back in time and start lines of pieces that are reproductions of those fascinating antique door knobs. Those reproductions have become a major income for those companies as people continually look for new ways to dress up their home.

But the real money seems to be in the door knobs that were really from that time. Just as much as the other collectibles and antiques in old estates can get a pretty penny at auction, the antique door knobs in those homes are also commanding top dollar at estate sales and auctions.

Here's a little interesting antique door knob history:
During World War II, many people pulled the brass doorknobs from their homes to help the government in their collections of brass to make war goods. Having one of these brass goodies today can fetch a pretty penny at an auction.

How much would you pay for antique door knobs? How about $8,300 for just one knob? That's the price that the 'Doggie knob' fetched at an auction. The beautifully carved bronze knob with a pooch looking through the center was created in the late 1800s. There are believed to be only two of them in existence.

Retractable Screen Doors - Roll Them Up When You Don't Need Them

Retractable Screen Doors - Roll Them Up When You Don't Need Them

Old fashioned screen doors are handy when it gets too warm but you'd rather not turn on the air conditioning. They let fresh air in and keep bugs and wildlife out. However they're also in the way when coming and going especially if they're not currently in use. They can bang loudly if you don't close them carefully and mechanisms can stick. Ever tried to move a big piece of furniture in through a propped open screen door? It's a pain, especially when the door won't open all the way.

A retractable screen door is the answer to all your screen door problems. They operate using the same kind of technology that roll up window blinds function on. When you're not using them, they roll neatly away until you need them. This takes up less space than a regular screen door and keeps them out of the way. Oddly enough, although these doors have been around for decades, most people still haven't heard of them. There are four major manufacturers of these doors, and lots of different brands. In general, however, they're easy to install and take only a few tools. You can put them in yourself, or have them installed by the dealer for a small price.

One place that retractable screen doors are really useful is in areas where you wouldn't be able to install a screen door normally. For instance, doors that open both inward and outward can't use a conventional screen door. You also can't install a regular screen on sliding glass patio doors (unless it's a specialty patio screen), double French doors, or doors where there's not enough clearance. A retractable screen can offer you the ability to screen all these types of door, making it a lot easier to let fresh air in without inviting the whole world.

Retractable screen doors aren't just for the outside of the house, though. They can also be used on interior doors when you'd like to make a light barrier without closing off a space. Use them between the garage and the main part of the house, to block off a screen porch, or to keep kids and pets in a room while you keep an eye on them. They have plenty of uses, and can be installed in spaces where you could fit an ordinary screen.

If you're tired of dealing with a regular screen door, or would like to have screens in a location that's not suited for conventional doors, look into your retractable options. A retractable screen door is easy to have installed or to install yourself, reliable, and convenient to use. Check one out today.

Should I Cut Down The Tree? Trees in Feng Shui

Should I Cut Down The Tree? Trees in Feng Shui

Is The Tree Helping Or Harming Me?

One of the most common questions we get in our practice is "What should I do about my tree?

Trees are a beautiful, glorious and vital part of the our planet and are an integral and respected life force in the practice of Feng Shui!

While it is true that some trees may block positive chi or even act as poison arrows the answer is not to cut down this beautiful gift of nature, there are ways to ensure that we work with the tree to ensure the best results. Killing a living vital part of nature is not the answer.

Trees act as conduits returning oxygen to us, giving us food, shade and protection we need to ensure that we in turn do everything we can to ensure there survival if possible. Some quick Tree tips include:

1. Cutting Down Trees?

Yes sometimes it is necessary to cut down trees. If for example a tree is sick, rotting and cannot be helped then this decaying energy will more than likely lower the level of good chi in the area and in fact create sickness and yin energy that may very well pass on to the residents of the home. If you cannot save it then cut it down

2. What about the one in front of my door?

The most common tree problem in Feng Shui is when the tree is directly in front of your door. This in effect may serve as a block in terms of opportunities, prosperity or abundance. But wait don't cut it down! First, trim any branches to let as much chi circulate around it as possible, next hang a wind chime in the tree to help guide the chi around the tree. If you are still considered hang another wind chime directly above your front door, and also place a mirror or other reflective ornament by your front door that in essence reflects the tree and its challenging energy back away from your door! That should do the trick!

3. Trees for Health & Family

Trees are a wonderful for bringing health and well being to you and your family. If you can plant large sturdy trees in the most east direction of your lot to protect this aspect of your life. The Pine tree is a ideal tree for this area as they ensure longevity.

4. Trees for Protection

There are many ways that trees actually offer protection for us. We all know they offer shade, and nourishment. But in Feng Shui terms they also offer offer a way to block out poison arrows from affecting us. If there is something pointing directly at us from across the road, the tree can be used to block that energy. The trees can also serve as something called "mountain support" in Feng Shui. The back of your home should always have something that is tall and supportive - ideally taller than your home. Fences, neighbours homes, lights can all offer this support but ideally tall trees can work as strong protectors.

5 Tree for Prosperity and Abundance!

Just as trees can bring health and well being - they can also bring abundance and prosperity. If you have an opportunity to plant a flowering tree on your property, the SE compass direction (the wealth area) is ideal. Trees with flowers or fruits in orange, red, or purple are ideal! (Think apples, oranges, and lavender of course!).

The first step in decoration is to have an account of decorating hardware in your home. The easier way is to count all the hardware you have including door handles, door knockers, bell pushes, decorative hinges, clavos nails, lever latches, and so on.

A Plethora of Hinges and What to Do With Them

2008-07-18T09:30:19Z

A Plethora of Hinges and What to Do With Them

There are dozens of hinges to choose from when you are planning a project that necessitates hinges, like installing a door. How do you know which hinges to choose? If you are simply buying new hardware to replace older hardware, then do not throw the older hardware away until it is replaced exactly. For instance, door hinges always vary. They can be right or left-handed. They can have loose pins. In short, you do not want to get stuck not knowing what hinge to buy. Most hardware store employees are happy to have you come into their establishment with the hinge to be replaced. They can help you find what you are looking for amongst the myriad hinges to choose from. They can also recommend hinges to buy that are not exactly the same as your previous model. When you enter a store, come equipped with the knowledge of whether your door opens in or out and how much hinge you want to show at a time.

Maybe you want to improve the previous hinge that you had in place. If an ugly hinge was showing earlier every time you opened your door, then by all means replace it with a decorative or shapely hinge. Just make sure that the new hinge fits nicely in the old mortise (the depression in the door where the hinge goes), otherwise you might have to chisel a deeper space in the door for it. Hinges can also come in heavier weights, so make sure you choose one that is the proper weight for your door. An excessively bulky hinge will not look right on a lightweight interior door.

For entry and exterior doors, hinges should never be accessible from the outside of the house. Any burglar could come along and unhinge your door, not having to fool with your locks and deadbolts. The hinge should always be located inside your house, where only you have access to its screws. When hanging a door, also be cognizant of whether the door opens in or out. If your living room is already cramped, then a door should probably not open into it. Do you want most of your hinge to show when your door is not open? If you like the look of hinges, then it is fine to invest in more ornate models for show.

There are many types of hinges. In addition to the common loose-pin hinge, there are the butt hinge, the back flap hinge, and the ball bearing hinge. The ball bearing hinge has the advantage of being smooth because of its perpetually lubricated nature. There are also butterfly hinges which are ideal for doors of lighter weights. There are double acting hinges which make your doors open in or out (think of saloon doors). Flush hinges stay mostly concealed except for their barrels. They are ideal for use on cabinet doors or other lightweight doors. There are many more hinges on the market, including specialty hinges made for the folding leaves of table tops and pianos. So just read a couple of publications on the topic and you will not have any problems.
