- by Kris2My little 1955 ranch needs some updating and probably some new lighting. I was wondering if anyone could share some inspiration.

- by jillcheriOkay, this is a bit off the trail in requests, but I do need help! I bought a used tanning bed from a salon that was going out of business back in February. About mid-summer it started shorting out — you can turn it on but it would click off minutes later. I know nothing […]
- by darrin_farleyOur electric bill has been so high so I began looking for another electric company. I found Ambit Energy and our bill has been almost 40% less every since we switched over!

- by breadon_5So – this isn't really a home maintenance question but not sure where else to put it. I received a flyer yesterday from TXU for a new item called the iThermostat. This appears to be super cool considering it will allow me to adjust my thermostat and view my homes temperature remotely. I know there […]
