Drawers Galore!

Received a message and link from Max Hunter over at Western Dovetail (right here in Vallejo!), directing me to his new photo gallery, Drawer.com.

If you, like me, can be inspired by looking at images of every kind of drawer imaginable, you should take a look. There are curved drawers, and bowed drawers, and angled drawers, and straight drawers, of every possible description.

Max can make you drawers and roll-out shelves and silverware inserts and dovetailed casework boxes. His products are beautifully crafted and very reasonable. He made great new drawers for our storage bed a few years back.

Isn't it time that you got some roll-out shelves to replace those stationary pantry or closet shelves?

I plan to order a roll-out shelf for my vanity, with a plumbing cutout, to make better use of the space.

Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) Fire Risk?

Here is a link to a respected lighting blog, Greenwashing Lamps, and a blog post entitled

CFL Fire Risk?

 

The blogger, halogenica, is well known in the lighting industry for her blog-campaign to discredit CFLs and LEDs. I don't agree with her on everything, but do agree that it doesn't pay to endanger our homes and lives by buying cheap light bulbs. 

BTW. Sadly, to my knowledge, virtually ALL light bulbs are made in China these days, in spite of the fact that Edison invented them here.

Well worth the read if you have cheap compact fluorescent (CFL) light bulbs in recessed ceiling fixtures or other enclosed fixtures in your home or business. The last place you want a fire is in a hole through the fire-protective sheetrock or plaster in your ceiling.
