I also decided to join the 30 day challenge by @frederickkittens 🖤

Day 1: What substyles of lolita do you wear?

Goth— it's my true love!😍

Oldschool goth holds a special place in my heart, but I also have a soft spot for the early 2010s aesthetic in general. I have an occasionally sweet tooth and like to indulge in classic from time to time but I always find myself back to goth/kuro.

My main goal these days is to wear more comfortable, casual coords and incorporate more ega pieces into my wardrobe again.

File types refresher:

File type

RAW

+ The best quality image file is captured

+ Extensive options in post-processing and image manipulation

- Time needed to convert and edit photos

- Bigger file sizes mean more storage needed and longer post-processing times

JPEG

+ Small file size so good for social media and emailing

+ Universal format that doesn’t need proprietary software

- Loss of quality due to image compression

- Less opportunity for image manipulation in photo editing software

TIFF

+ Ability to manipulate photos extensively in photo editing software

+ Option to print at the highest quality and at much larger sizes

- Much bigger file sizes (more storage needed)

- Longer transfer and loading times due to file size

GIF

+ Small file sizes makes these ideal for use on the web

+ Files can contain animation

- Limited colours means it is not the best choice for photos

- Does not support partial transparency like drop shadows

ADOBE PDF

+ PDF can be opened on any device with any operating system in exactly the same form in which it was created

- It’s not free to edit PDF files

- It’s easier to edit files in other formants than in PDF, because PDF files must be edited in specialised programs

Choose another that you might use

DNG

+ Ability to use image processing software such as Lightroom and Photoshop

+ Possibly guard against inability to open or access files in future

- Extra time needed to convert camera raw files to DNG (if your camera does not have the option to supply files in this format)

Choose another that you might use

PNG

+ Lossless compression means good image quality

+ The ability to maintain transparency

- Quality will not be good enough for printing at any size

RAW workflow: In photoshop.

Add an appropriate diagram from the web.

Explain the need to develop a good digital workflow.

Why workflow matters

Photography workflow is the sequence of steps and actions you take to edit your photos, work them up to a result you consider finished, and share them with the world. Editing photos can be like baking a cake or assembling flat pack furniture. You start with raw ingredients, or loose parts, and use an ordered sequence of steps to put the thing together. In a good photography workflow, the end result is a perfectly crafted image, securely stored for future use, all with the least possible effort.

Efficiency is important. Without a good workflow, at minimum you’re wasting time. Worse, you run the very real risk of losing your most precious photos. Forever. A couple of years ago I knew a wedding photographer, then aspiring to become professional, who lost an entire wedding shoot because of relatively simple errors in her workflow. (In short, the mistakes derived from a convoluted importing method and totally inadequate backups.)

Maybe you’re only taking pictures for fun? If you’re planning to continue with photography, you still need to use an effective workflow. If you don’t, your photo archive will become a beast, very difficult to tame. And your images won’t look as good as they could. No fun.

When you’re starting out in digital photography, you need to develop good habits early.

1/ What software did you use to optimise/ name/ select these? Where did you store them?

File management

Name Three places where you will store your images.

1

Memory Card/USB Drive

+ Small and portable.

+ Easily share files documents with other devices.

+ Simple to operate.

+ Cheap to buy.

- Easily infected with viruses or malware.

- Easy for users to lose or break them.

2

Computer HD

+ Fairly affordable and easy to use.

+ Higher capacities than those available with small USB drives.

- This type of physical storage doesn’t last forever.

- Don’t usually come with password protection or advanced security features.

3

Cloud Based Back-up

+ Your data to be accessible from anywhere.

+ Allow clients to view select files through cloud sharing platforms.

+ Off-site storage so useful in disaster recovery.

- Security is a major concern for businesses using cloud storage solutions.

- Possibility of remote failure of server.

- Can be expensive.

Name File management software.

1/        Adobe Bridge CC

2/        CyberLink PhotoDirector 10

3/        Magix Photo Manager Deluxe

Explain the need for good clear file management.

Good file management is important to allow you to quickly and easily locate images.

1. Everything is easier to find

2. See how you’ve progressed

3. You’re forced to review the good with the bad

4. It will teach you to avoid recurring mistakes

5. Discover ideas you want to revisit

6. Find themes and begin developing a vision

People make Glasgow: Editing tasks.

Manage files:

Store and rename you files.

Where have you saved these images?

Camera Memory Card, External Hard Drive and One Drive in the Cloud

Contact sheet:

What software did you use?

Adobe Bridge

Place an of your ‘People make Glasgow

How straight forward was it to make this in your selected software?

Quite straightforward, I selected the shots I wanted in Bridge’s “Output” tab, selected the number and size of images I wanted on a sheet and exported them as a PDF file.

Explain two methods of Black and white conversion from an RGB original.

From Bridge, an image can be opened in Camera RAW and converted by selecting the “B&W” option in the top right-hand side.

In Photoshop, a new “Black & White” adjustment layer can be selected.

BLACK AND WHITE CONVERTION:

Choose three of your ‘People make Glasgow’ images and show before and after edits below.

Before: file name: _DSC0464.NEF

After: CMalcolm_HND2C_PMG1_103.jpg

Before: file name: _DSC0483.NEF

After:  CMalcolm_HND2C_PMG1_007.jpg

Before: file name: _DSC0496.NEF

After:  CMalcolm_HND2C_PMG1_044.jpg

Evaluate how the edits have changed/ enhanced the feel of the image.

For these shots, I first corrected the image in the “Optics” tab of Camera RAW to correct any chromatic aberrations. Next, I converted to B&W and checked the exposure and colour temperature. I then added a small amount of clarity and adjusted the contrast, shadows, whites and blacks. Next, I opened them in Photoshop and cropped them a small amount.

I think all the edits have worked well and by making the adjustments described above, I feel I have met the brief by providing more high contrast “gritty” and engaging images of Glasgow’s people.

People make Glasgow finished canvas, make a selection of your best images and display on one A3 300 ppi canvas.

How do you feel about your final series of images?

I think the final series of images work together well to give a flavour of the different characters that make up Glasgow’s people.

From the Strategist: Everything You Need to Picnic, According to Picnic Professionals

Photo Media/ClassicStock/Getty Images

The best picnic baskets, coolers, blankets, and more, from the Strategist

While spending time outdoors — masked and at a distance — is a lower-risk way to socialize in person with others, replacing an air-conditioned restaurant brunch with a picnic takes a little more planning than rolling out of bed and hopping on the subway. “A picnic can teeter into being really unpleasant if you have too much stuff or don’t bring enough,” says Ali Rosen, the host of Potluck With Ali and author of the potluck cookbook Bring it!. And though she says it’s important to strike a balance between bringing too much and too little, most folks likely have on hand what they need to picnic.

Whether you’re picnicking at a city park, state beach, or your own backyard, we spoke to four picnicking professionals — including some who have been planning picnics for years — about the best picnic blankets, foldable chairs, and food, plus the bags (or wagons) for carrying it all. However, before you go ahead and gear up, all our experts recommended checking out your picnic destination’s rules and regulations — regarding where and what you sit on and how you prepare food — to make sure you’re staying above board. (Drinking alcohol is also a ticketable offense at parks citywide — but more on that below.)

Picnic baskets and coolers

Yeti Hopper M30 Portable Soft Cooler

While a wicker basket is aesthetically pleasing, it is often hard to store and carry and is not well insulated. All of the experts who we spoke to advised carrying something with a more comfortable strap, and most say an insulated tote is ideal, especially since it folds down. In order to keep things cold all day, Julie Lindenman, owner of an eponymous event-planning company, which pivoted to picnic planning during the pandemic, packs this easy-to-carry Yeti soft cooler with ice and says it still fits up to “a couple bottles of wine, lunch for two people, two water bottles, and a few other drinks.” Our colleagues at Grub Street call Yeti coolers “indestructible,” and we’ve named them as among the best gifts for beer lovers, who are always in the mood for a cold one.

L.L. Bean Insulated Tote

REI Co-op Pack-Away 12 Soft Cooler

One major (and recurring) complaint about Yeti coolers is the price, so if you want something a little more budget-friendly but with the same function, Lindenman recommends one of these insulated totes from L.L. Bean or REI, adding, “even your local corner store probably sells them at this point.”

Scout Cool Runnings Soft Cooler

“We do most of our picnics in reusable totes, just because you can flatten it and get on with your life,” echoes Wendy Weston, founder of Perfect Picnic, which has been organizing European-style artisanal picnics since 2011. Weston likes the insulated totes from Scout but says that putting frozen water bottles (or a frozen washcloth) at the bottom of any easy-to-carry tote is just as good as filling with ice cubes.

West Elm Modern Picnic Backpack 20 Piece Set

If you want to keep your hands free, Lindenman recommends West Elm’s less-insulated picnic backpack, which comes with a 20-piece set of plates and cutlery for four, plus salt and pepper shakers.

Bee & Willow Picnic Basket with 4 Place Settings

If you are going to go the route of a traditional-style wicker basket, three out of our four experts recommend buying one that comes with cutlery inside it. At Personal Attention, a New York City-based, French-inspired event service, which also plans picnics, project manager Laéthycia Simms vouches for the Bee & Willow wicker basket because “there’s an insulated section, so you just put ice inside and can keep everything cool.”

Foldable Shopping Cart Trolley Bag

With more stores than usual closed, Rosen notes that folks might need to bring more of their own gear to picnics this summer — because it’s a bit harder to stop by a bodega or supermarket for an extra thing or two. Packing a granny cart full of things, in lieu of an overflowing cooler, will help make transporting all of your stuff easier, especially if your picnic spot isn’t too far away. This trolley, which senior editor Katy Schneider likes the looks of, comes in a picnic-appropriate gingham pattern.

Mac Sports Collapsible Folding Outdoor Utility Wagon

“The biggest pain about a picnic is hauling all this stuff around the park,” says Weston. The solution is a wagon. She likes this one because it folds “completely flat, and they can carry a lot of weight.” Not only does this wagon fit all of her gear, it also fits her daughter.

Picnic blankets and chairs

Angemay Waterproof Outdoor & Picnic Blanket

When it comes to picnic blankets, all of our experts say the bigger, the better, though they all prefer different kinds of materials. Rosen loves her portable, waterproof picnic blanket so much that she says it’s the present she most often buys friends. Plus, “the blanket has taken on new meaning during coronavirus times, because it naturally allows you to give people space.”

DII Turkish Towel, 39x78”

“A lot of blankets that are branded picnic blankets are flannel or fleece, which I’m kind of confused by because it’s so hot in the summer,” says Lindenman, who prefers Turkish towels that are “lightweight and easy to machine-wash, so you’ll definitely feel like it’s clean after.”

Chicago Canvas & Supply All Purpose Canvas Cotton Drop Cloth

Weston also prefers lightweight blankets to thick, waterproof options and recommends putting painter’s tarp underneath to keep your area dry. “Canvas acts as a barrier, which doesn’t harm the grass like plastic, and it can be used to create a larger surface area for social distancing,” she explains.

Cliq Compact Outdoor Chair

Most of the experts we spoke to say that chairs are a must-have picnic accessory for those who have back issues or are uncomfortable sitting on the ground. Though any easy-to-carry, foldable chair is sufficient, two experts specifically named Qliq chairs which “basically fold up to the size of a Nalgene water bottle,” according to Lindenman.

WolfWise Large Pop Up Beach Tent

If you’re going to be out in the sun all day, Rosen recommends bringing this pop-up tent from Wolfwise, which has sandbags to stay grounded on the beach and stakes to set into the ground at a park. “You have to set up most bigger tents, but this unfolds in one move. It opens fully on the front and back and has screens that go up and down on the sides so you can sit under it to stay out of the sun or put your kids in there for a nap,” she says, adding that watching a video is the easiest way to learn how to fold it back up.

Picnic spread

Thin Bins Collapsible Containers

“My biggest advice with food is, store things separately and get rid of the idea that you want to build your meal beforehand” explains Rosen, who adds that lightweight containers are ideal — like this collapsible, silicone set from Amazon — but Ziploc bags will work in a pinch. And all of our experts advised bringing what Weston calls “fresh food made to travel” that will last during travel and heat, such as whole cured meats and cheeses, fresh baguettes, jarred vegetables and condiments, and salads (with dressing on the side). You can assemble them once you’ve arrived at and set up your picnic spot.

Stasher 100 Percent Silicone Reusable Sandwich Bag

Another highly recommended collapsible, silicone storage item is the Strategist-favorite Stasher bag. “I’ve used them for everything from sliced fruit to actual ice from the freezer, and they seal it all off really well,” says Lindenman.

Freshware Cutting Boards

Rosen and Weston both recommend bringing a lightweight board for preparing and serving whole foods, like this wooden set of three, which weighs a total of one pound.

West Elm Modern Melamine Dinnerware

You’ll also need something to eat your picnic on. If you’re willing to tote along real plates, Weston suggests the melamine wares from West Elm, which are both cute and very hard to break.

Ökabode Disposable Bamboo Utensils, 200 Pieces

For disposable plates and cutlery, Rosen likes bamboo, because “it’s recyclable and it also just looks really nice.”

Caspari Brushstroke Paper Napkins, Pack of 20

“If you’re trying to do something special, do one of those little things, like order patterned napkins, just to make it feel like something is happening,” encourages Rosen. Strategist senior editor Anthony Rotunno recommends a vibrant, “museum-quality” set from Caspari.

Vapur Eclipse Collapsible Water Bottle, 1 Liter

In addition to food, water is essential for making your picnic enjoyable — and according to the experts we spoke to, a frozen water bottle can not only help keep you hydrated as it melts, it doubles as an ice pack on your way there. Lindenman specifically recommends the bottles from Vapur, because they’re “flexible and rollable, so at the end of the day, it’s not like a massive empty water bottle rolling around in your bag.”

Corkcicle 60oz Water Bottle & Thermos

In New York City, public consumption of alcohol is usually a $25 ticketable offense, but to-go liquor licenses during the coronavirus have loosened the open-container laws, so our experts say that (with a little finesse) picnic drinking is likely easier than ever. Weston advises against bringing more conspicuously packaged bottles of wine and instead recommends filling a Corkcicle canteen with one (or two) bottles of wine, or a premixed cocktail, adding, “they actually work — you can put that bottle in the sun and it stays cold.” Plus, the canteen hides obvious alcohol labels.

BrüMate Hopsulator Trio 3-in-1 Stainless Steel Insulated Can Cooler, 12 oz and 16 oz

Koozies also help obscure alcohol labels on cans, says Lindenman. Strategist writer Dominique Pariso recommends the triple-insulated koozies from BrüMate, which keep everything from slim, 12-ounce White Claws to 24-ounce tall boys as ice-cold as when you “first cracked it open straight from the cooler.”

EatOkra

“One thing that a picnic can be now, that it isn’t necessarily at other times, is, it’s a great way to support restaurants, especially Black-owned restaurants,” says Rosen, who recommends using the app EatOkra to find Black-owned restaurants and food trucks near you (the app is free, but food is not). All of our other experts agree that this summer more than ever, picnics can be a way to support local businesses and take a break from cooking, especially since restaurants across the city are beginning to offer prepackaged picnic spreads — many of which are detailed in this list, compiled by our colleagues at Eater.

Clean Cubes 13 Gallon Disposable Sanitary Trash Cans

Once you’re done eating, you’ll want some way to clean up your site. While personal-hygiene basics, like hand sanitizer and wipes, are must-haves for keeping yourself clean, all of the experts also recommend bringing trash bags to maintain your picnic area. “The last thing you want is to carry around a Whole Foods bag that’s overflowing with garbage while you look for a trash can,” says Weston, who notes that the Clean Cube trash bins have a cute paper, gingham exterior, and an interior trash bag so “you don’t have to deal with things falling out of it.”

Other nice-to-haves

Codenames

“People tend to forget, but it’s nice to have options of what to do at a picnic, especially if you’re in a group, and a board game helps keep people engaged,” says Simms, who is one of a couple of experts to recommend bringing games along to your picnic. Though there are many board games for couples and families, if you’re looking for a socially distant group game, consider one where a single person can control all the pieces, like expert-approved word-deduction game Codenames.

Bar5F Empty Clear Spray Bottle 16 oz.

In addition to sunscreen and a hat, Simms brings a spray bottle to picnics, especially in parks with limited shade, like the Brooklyn Bridge Park. “When the sun is out, it’s nice to have a little spritz, and when you’re not using the bottle, you can put it in the basket with the ice to stay cold,” she says, adding that spray bottles are very popular in French picnicking.

Weston also prefers lightweight blankets to thick, waterproof options and recommends putting painter’s tarp underneath to keep your area dry. “Canvas acts as a barrier, which doesn’t harm the grass like plastic, and it can be used to create a larger surface area for social distancing,” she explains.

Cliq Compact Outdoor Chair

Most of the experts we spoke to say that chairs are a must-have picnic accessory for those who have back issues or are uncomfortable sitting on the ground. Though any easy-to-carry, foldable chair is sufficient, two experts specifically named Qliq chairs which “basically fold up to the size of a Nalgene water bottle,” according to Lindenman.

WolfWise Large Pop Up Beach Tent

If you’re going to be out in the sun all day, Rosen recommends bringing this pop-up tent from Wolfwise, which has sandbags to stay grounded on the beach and stakes to set into the ground at a park. “You have to set up most bigger tents, but this unfolds in one move. It opens fully on the front and back and has screens that go up and down on the sides so you can sit under it to stay out of the sun or put your kids in there for a nap,” she says, adding that watching a video is the easiest way to learn how to fold it back up.

Picnic spread

Thin Bins Collapsible Containers

“My biggest advice with food is, store things separately and get rid of the idea that you want to build your meal beforehand” explains Rosen, who adds that lightweight containers are ideal — like this collapsible, silicone set from Amazon — but Ziploc bags will work in a pinch. And all of our experts advised bringing what Weston calls “fresh food made to travel” that will last during travel and heat, such as whole cured meats and cheeses, fresh baguettes, jarred vegetables and condiments, and salads (with dressing on the side). You can assemble them once you’ve arrived at and set up your picnic spot.

Stasher 100 Percent Silicone Reusable Sandwich Bag

Another highly recommended collapsible, silicone storage item is the Strategist-favorite Stasher bag. “I’ve used them for everything from sliced fruit to actual ice from the freezer, and they seal it all off really well,” says Lindenman.

Freshware Cutting Boards

Rosen and Weston both recommend bringing a lightweight board for preparing and serving whole foods, like this wooden set of three, which weighs a total of one pound.

West Elm Modern Melamine Dinnerware

You’ll also need something to eat your picnic on. If you’re willing to tote along real plates, Weston suggests the melamine wares from West Elm, which are both cute and very hard to break.

Ökabode Disposable Bamboo Utensils, 200 Pieces

For disposable plates and cutlery, Rosen likes bamboo, because “it’s recyclable and it also just looks really nice.”

Caspari Brushstroke Paper Napkins, Pack of 20

“If you’re trying to do something special, do one of those little things, like order patterned napkins, just to make it feel like something is happening,” encourages Rosen. Strategist senior editor Anthony Rotunno recommends a vibrant, “museum-quality” set from Caspari.

Vapur Eclipse Collapsible Water Bottle, 1 Liter

In addition to food, water is essential for making your picnic enjoyable — and according to the experts we spoke to, a frozen water bottle can not only help keep you hydrated as it melts, it doubles as an ice pack on your way there. Lindenman specifically recommends the bottles from Vapur, because they’re “flexible and rollable, so at the end of the day, it’s not like a massive empty water bottle rolling around in your bag.”

Corkcicle 60oz Water Bottle & Thermos

In New York City, public consumption of alcohol is usually a $25 ticketable offense, but to-go liquor licenses during the coronavirus have loosened the open-container laws, so our experts say that (with a little finesse) picnic drinking is likely easier than ever. Weston advises against bringing more conspicuously packaged bottles of wine and instead recommends filling a Corkcicle canteen with one (or two) bottles of wine, or a premixed cocktail, adding, “they actually work — you can put that bottle in the sun and it stays cold.” Plus, the canteen hides obvious alcohol labels.

BrüMate Hopsulator Trio 3-in-1 Stainless Steel Insulated Can Cooler, 12 oz and 16 oz

Koozies also help obscure alcohol labels on cans, says Lindenman. Strategist writer Dominique Pariso recommends the triple-insulated koozies from BrüMate, which keep everything from slim, 12-ounce White Claws to 24-ounce tall boys as ice-cold as when you “first cracked it open straight from the cooler.”

EatOkra

“One thing that a picnic can be now, that it isn’t necessarily at other times, is, it’s a great way to support restaurants, especially Black-owned restaurants,” says Rosen, who recommends using the app EatOkra to find Black-owned restaurants and food trucks near you (the app is free, but food is not). All of our other experts agree that this summer more than ever, picnics can be a way to support local businesses and take a break from cooking, especially since restaurants across the city are beginning to offer prepackaged picnic spreads — many of which are detailed in this list, compiled by our colleagues at Eater.

Clean Cubes 13 Gallon Disposable Sanitary Trash Cans

Once you’re done eating, you’ll want some way to clean up your site. While personal-hygiene basics, like hand sanitizer and wipes, are must-haves for keeping yourself clean, all of the experts also recommend bringing trash bags to maintain your picnic area. “The last thing you want is to carry around a Whole Foods bag that’s overflowing with garbage while you look for a trash can,” says Weston, who notes that the Clean Cube trash bins have a cute paper, gingham exterior, and an interior trash bag so “you don’t have to deal with things falling out of it.”

Other nice-to-haves

Codenames

“People tend to forget, but it’s nice to have options of what to do at a picnic, especially if you’re in a group, and a board game helps keep people engaged,” says Simms, who is one of a couple of experts to recommend bringing games along to your picnic. Though there are many board games for couples and families, if you’re looking for a socially distant group game, consider one where a single person can control all the pieces, like expert-approved word-deduction game Codenames.

Bar5F Empty Clear Spray Bottle 16 oz.

In addition to sunscreen and a hat, Simms brings a spray bottle to picnics, especially in parks with limited shade, like the Brooklyn Bridge Park. “When the sun is out, it’s nice to have a little spritz, and when you’re not using the bottle, you can put it in the basket with the ice to stay cold,” she says, adding that spray bottles are very popular in French picnicking.

5 Bad Habits That People in the otel energy saver Industry Need to Quit

It's no magic formula that HHO or what is often known as Brown's Gasoline has long been Employed in combustible diesel and petrol  engines in motor vehicle's for instance cars and trucks, MPVs, vans, trailers, crane and excavators. But Most are not aware about the potential use of HHO in diesel generators. In the definition of Diesel Turbines in Wikipedia, "A diesel generator is The mix of the diesel motor with an electrical generator (typically named an alternator) to produce electrical energy. Diesel creating sets are Employed in locations devoid of connection to the facility grid or as emergency energy-supply When the grid fails. Compact portable diesel generators range between about 1kVA to 10kVA can be utilized as energy provides on design websites, or as auxiliary electrical power for automobiles for example cellular homes." THE RIGHT DIESEL GENERATORS FOR POTENTIAL HHO APPLICATIONBut we've been currently discussing larger sized diesel turbines one hundred KVA and previously mentioned which might be Usually used to electricity properties, for example relaxation prevent parts beside highway roads, telecommunication towers, cement lifting cranes at construction sites, etcetera. Nearly all of these sorts of Diesel Generators work day by day amongst 12 hours to 24 several hours, which the end users on their own shell out thousands to tens of A huge number of dollars each month to maintain their operations that rely upon electrical energy off grid.Close OF CHEAP OIL Gets to be A Highly-priced PROBLEMLet's look into The existing difficulty of those unique Diesel Turbines. It may well are actually a time throughout the cheap oil era; individuals wouldn't be bothered with the superior usage of diesel gas in Diesel Generators to make Electrical energy for your use at their premises. During the mid 2008, the oil peaked greater than USD 100 for every barrel leading to a ruckus in businesses that rely upon diesel fuel for his or her diesel generators. That it would have induced an increase in operational Charge that will deeply have an impact on the income for the businesses that rely on electric power generatored by Diesel Generators. WASTAGE Of cash ON INNEFFICIENT & INCOMPLETE FUEL COMBUSTION IN DIESEL GENERATORSMany may well not be familiar with this, due to extended use in the engines in the Diesel Turbines be it two months or even more, the Engines, identical to almost every other interior combustion engines would accumulate carbon deposits and would result in incomplete gasoline combustion. Thus, there's no doubt that the Diesel Turbines are utilizing way more fuel than they should create electrical energy. The wastage is approximated to become not less than twenty %, which In the long term, is a significant sum of cash; might be as much as Countless bucks a month. Like every departments of a company, efficiency of functions would help save time and expense for almost any businessmen. This proves to generally be genuine even with the performance of a diesel generator likewise. It truly is undoubtedly as talked about by many, the key objective of any enterprise operator is to outlive The existing financial downturn is always to create a leaner, more affordable and much more effective functions.Pay attention to EXTREMES OF Both equally Professionals Will never UNCOVER The reality OF HHO TECHNOLOGYThere are opinions that automotive and fuel engineering has actually been intentionally held back again and folks have been stored in the dark about awesome innovations and discoveries. They blame it on Big Oil Firms. In my view, HHO or Browns Gas is one particular this sort of "fuel engineering" but I beg to vary that this technologies is becoming held back again but was a lot less investigated on account of skepticism by a lot of folks. "Industry experts" would theorize and Develop hydrogen generators like the normally known "Electrolyzers" and make too much claims of fifty% to 70% even double the mileage of a vehicle. Whilst other "Industry experts" would theorize and disprove HHO or Brown's Gasoline technological know-how, commenting these kinds of engineering as scams. They are the extremes of both of those; nevertheless there are plenty of Other individuals like us would implement this technology to see the truth.HHO Probable To DIESEL Turbines CAUGHT OUR ATTENTIONIn this article, I will likely not even further elaborate about HHO or Brown's Gas and would think the reader to have standard information relating to this technological know-how prior to reading this. From individual ordeals of putting in Hydrogen Generators or usually often called "Electrolyzers" into Diesel Generators a hundred KVA and above, we ourselves ended up astonished of the final results from the gas saved in Individuals Diesel Turbines. The results obviously differ, for your Diesel Generators, but what have caught our focus was the minimum discounts to the Diesel Turbines was 30%. Here's the other feedbacks within the owners from the Diesel Turbines themselves in the course of the demo run1) Motor Runs Smoother2) Fewer Dangerous Carbon Emissions 3) The Gradual Improve of Gasoline Saved (as The interior Engines get cleaner from entire combustion)NO MORE INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION OF Gasoline FOR ALL DIESEL GENERATORSThis has solved the principle problems with Incomplete Combustion of Gasoline for all Diesel Generators. From finish gas combustion, there have been are significant carbon deposits residing during the engines, making it possible for improved productive engine efficiency for that Diesel Turbines.HOW DOES HHO Assist in The whole Gasoline COMBUSTION IN DIESEL GENERATORSThe Hydrogen Generators or "Electrolyzers", by electrolytic system, hydrogen and oxygen (often called Brown's Gas) are separated from distilled or reverse osmosis h2o and equipped to your consumption manifold of your Diesel Generator by means of vacuum produced with the Motor. The HHO or Brown's Gas is then combined with the Diesel Gas and drastically enhances the combustion. About forty five% of Diesel normally burns through combustion. With HHO that jumps to 90%.The HHO throughout the Diesel Engine1) Consumption (Air & hydrogen Enter Cylinder) two) Compression (Mix Heats Up)three) Piston Compresses Air with HHO4) Ignition (Gasoline Extra, Combustion)five) Quicker Burn, More rapidly Launch: Additional Power6) Exhaust (Gasses Expelled)seven) Much less Emissions Cleaner Exhaust Gasoline (Fewer Carbon Deposits)Ways To put in HYDROGEN Need Programs TO DIESEL GENERATORSThe installation process is far less complicated than it truly is in Diesel Cars. The truth is it takes only an hour while the Diesel Generator is running. 1) Detect the Battery (12volt/24volt). This is often to discover the kind of Hydrogen Generator essential to operate. For Example, at the time we have determined that a Diesel Generator runs with a 24 volt starter battery. We will pick the Hydrogen Generator that operates at 24 volts. 2) Recognize The situation of air vacuum (consumption manifold). A gap is produced by drilling and elbow tubing is set and glued for tubing insertion3) A area is determined to put the Hydrogen Generator4) The Wiring harness which includes fuse, relay, relay socket and wires furnished is made use of to set up the Hydrogen Generator5) The Electricity resource will be taken from the alternator by using wiring set up (Beneficial wire within the Hydrogen Generator)six) The Earth resource will likely be taken from any Section of the body engine in the Diesel Generator (Adverse wire within the Hydrogen)seven) Distilled or Reverse Osmosis Drinking water and Catalyst are stuffed in the Hydrogen Generator8) The electric present flowing in the Hydrogen Generator is adjusted to 12 amps by having an estimation of 3 liters of Gas per Hour.More affordable Alternate In comparison to Photo voltaic AND WIND ENERGYIt is healthier not to get our word for it or pay attention to any "specialists" who theorize and disprove statements. We advocate it otel energy saver is healthier for the reader themselves to try and become involved With this HHO Technological know-how especially in the apps of Diesel Generators. As We've learned that Diesel Turbines are one of the most ideal while in the purposes of HHO on account of its consistency of engine functions compared with automobiles which rely seriously on highway ailments and user driving routines. It's been recognised that, customers dwelling off grid electricity depend heavily on Diesel to create electricity for twelve several hours or even more. There are proposals of photo voltaic Power and wind turbines to get blended use with diesel turbines to even further lower the expense of operations. Nevertheless, it is the higher expense of pre investment that leaves the person doubtful of its a number of years duration of Return on Investment. HHO or Brown's Fuel could be the more cost-effective option to allow the users to save lots of a substantial part of their money in per month or two period of Return on Investment (ROI). The producing and deploying Hydrogen Turbines in much more cost effective than producing and deploying photo voltaic panels and wind turbines.

Regardless for those who retain the services of Skilled movers or do it on your own, it is good to understand how to wrap the home furniture and what to expect. We sell going supplies and infrequently listen to inquiries: - The number of transferring blankets do I would like? Which relocating blanket need to I exploit and how do I wrap my furniture?

How to wrap home furniture for shifting depends on specifics of your move. Can it be interstate go, across the country, or community shifting across the block? Loading PODS or Worldwide transport container, or transferring to long-lasting storage? In case you are getting ready to transfer and concerned about securely relocating your home items this series of posts will present in particulars the best way to wrap your furniture for any substantial or little go.

People today at times underestimate quantity of packing needed to get a shifting occupation, but it is important to pack your personal possessions effectively. I are within the shifting organization for over twenty years, moved many family members Individually to be a foreman and driver, and then countless numbers extra being an operator of the moving enterprise, equally relocating domestically and going interstate. I used to be teaching my movers the most beneficial and most efficient ways of handling and wrapping furniture, wrapping with blankets, crating, boxing, you title it.

Movers.

Contrary to some statements I found in other article content, Movers do care about your cargo, typically foreman is personally accountable to pay for on your damages and movers also know that if a little something will get broken it's unlikely they get any guidelines. At the same time movers do not have any sentimental attachment in your belongings and deal with important to you personally items as the rest. Their most important target will be to safe the goods in a means that it'll not crack and will be simple to load.

For that reason it is crucial to produce a foreman (going crew leader) which objects demand Distinctive treatment. Will not assume movers to check out your house products the best way the thing is it. The movers merely would not have time to take into consideration how sensitive Every single and every product might be. For example a bottle with unique sand, layered by the color or even in the Specific layout, is going to be ruined if merely laid on its side. Movers will You should definitely pack the bottle that it'll be Safe and sound, but they may not realize that the sand levels In the bottle are not set and may mix into an ugly mess from vibration in the truck.

It's legitimate that many damage takes place while carrying, loading and unloading, but Additionally it is genuine that if movers (or oneself) will not load the truck correctly some goods will get broken in transit. Phrase of caution about shopping for a shifting enterprise: Should you have worthwhile household furniture to maneuver - don't glimpse for affordable movers, appear permanently types. Inexperienced movers or movers with lousy name compete on price, not on professionalism. Fantastic movers deserve to be paid perfectly. Because the declaring goes - you will get That which you paid for.

Relocating Packing Supplies.

There is certainly range of packing materials accessible: bubble sleeves, plate mobile packing kits, foam peanuts, bubble craft and many others. We are not endeavoring to cover one hundred% on the packing provides, but only the most well-liked which are used by movers and which you can and may look forward to finding inside a relocating truck: Blankets, Boxes, paper, bubble wrap and Shrink wrap, plastic covers. Using this list of supplies you'll be able to pack and transfer any kind of household furniture, china or artwork.

Relocating Blankets.

Moving blankets is mover's "Instrument of the trade". Should you be going locally and using the services of knowledgeable moving enterprise you must be expecting them to point out up with blankets and you shouldn't be charged for it. But In case you are transferring very long distance (interstate shifting) or to storage, then getting your individual moving blankets is likely to be a good idea.

Shifting Blankets can be of two major forms: Quilted or padded moving blankets and Non-Quilted,, also referred to as Skins or Place Savers. Each and every has its use. Quilted Transferring blankets typically are available in 72 x eighty inches measurement and vary according to the outer cloth and degree of filler, the heavier the blankets the more filer they may have and the more safety they supply.

Low cost going blankets are created with nonwoven outer material and very mild filler. These blankets can be extremely excellent if you are planning to spot your things in long-term storage or a little move. Financial state relocating blankets deliver satisfactory protection and do not acquire much home within the storage. For lengthy length or interstate transferring wherever interstate provider charges by body weight the gain is the fact that these blankets are much lighter than regular relocating blankets.

For significant strong Wooden household furniture, leather couches, hefty dining tables and so on. it is healthier to receive heavier, thicker blankets that may deliver better security versus bumps and dents. If you progress frequently, relocating blankets with woven outer cloth a great deal more long lasting relocating blankets and will provide much longer.

Non-quilted relocating blankets could be produced outside of felt or burlap on just one facet and felt on another. These really should not be discounted particularly if your key worry the home furniture rubbing in opposition to each other. In case you are packing your own private pod, or container - You need to use Area savers with excellent success.

An alternative choice is paper transferring blankets. Paper packing blankets are produced of two outer layers of brown kraft and a few internal levels of light bodyweight paper. The a few inner levels can consist of newsprint, mild bodyweight kraft, tissue, bogus, or non woven papers. The majority of people are not even mindful of paper blankets to be used for going, meanwhile it is an excellent alternative to quilted moving blankets, particularly if you will be moving only once or sending your merchandise to some long-term storage or transferring abroad. Paper blankets are breathable, supply superior defense and 100% recyclable.

Boxes.

Moving boxes can be solitary wall, for instance Ebook packing containers, Linen boxes etc. or double wall, which include China Bins, Television set packing containers, Wardrobe boxes and many others. Double wall packing containers tend to be much better and keep extra weight. But be sure to Will not seek to load them to ability. Loading Wardrobe box packed with books isn't a good suggestion.

Identify in the box is very suggestive: Reserve containers (1.five cubic feet) are for textbooks, Small Linen bins (3.1 c.file.) or Large Linen packing containers (four.5 c.f.) are for folded clothes, towels and linen, China bins, five,.two c.file. is for fragile products, and wardrobe box ( come in 10.1 c.f. or fifteen c.f. and four ft tall) is for hanging clothing. And naturally there are image bins, lamp packing containers, mattress bins and a whole line of every kind of specialised boxes, corners etcetera.

Cushioning Supplies

Once you pack fragile objects within a box - you may need some thing to offer cushioning. Most popular is Bubble wrap and Blank newsprint. Blank newsprint or white paper comes in 5, ten or 25 lbs bundles. Blank newsprint is the greatest for packing kitchenware, plates, china, fragile products, or just filling empty Areas inside a box. Bubble wrap come in twelve or 24 inch huge rolls and with various bubble dimensions. Movers typically use 0.5 inch bubble wrap 24 inches extensive. Bubble wrap is good for wrapping electronics or large parts of glass.

Plastic Handles

Plastic covers for going would include Shrink wrap or stretch wrap and Plastic mattress protect, plastic couch go over or plastic chair handles. Shrink wrap - is commonly Employed in transport to keep a load on the pallet with each other as a single device instead of to allow it to fall apart or items disappear from cargo.

In transferring home furniture shrink wrap was originally used to preserve goods with compact pieces or opening doors or drawers collectively. Then it grew to become a substitute for plastic covers to wrap mattresses. It is under no circumstances much better than a plastic mattress go over, however it is more profitable for a relocating company: it Price a lot less to order a roll of shrink wrap, but it will require more time to wrap in addition mover can demand additional for every merchandise wrapped. Movers could even wrap shrink wrap along with furnishings now wrapped in blankets. It appears to be excellent, but it is extremely high priced and Unquestionably worthless.

If you set your merchandise to storage shrink wrap is definitely harmful towards the home furniture, because it traps the dampness plus the furniture can actually rot under the shrink wrap if stored prolonged sufficient. I might strongly propose working with mattress covers, simply because even when It will likely be wrapped in the blanket - you don't know what was wrapped in that blanket prior to. And mattress is That which you snooze on. Also sofas with light-weight colored upholstery could be superior off should you include it with plastic couch cove prior to wrapping inside the household furniture blankets. Sometimes the colour bleeds off the relocating blanket onto upholstery.

SUMMARY:

When preparing for that go take into account details within your go and think about the household furniture you need to wrap. Need to have to avoid wasting Place? - Get Place savers or paper blankets, require better protection - get high quality high-quality thick moving blankets. Want to maintain your fragile Protected - pack them in double wall sturdy packing containers with plenty of cushioning supplies Want your continue to keep home furnishings cleanse - use Plastic furnishings covers.

In the subsequent article we will go about specifics of wrapping several products of household furniture.

Agilenano - News from Agilenano from shopsnetwork (4 sites) https://agilenano.com/blogs/news/tips-laundry-basket-storage-1

[shannrussell-blog1]

Australia is a giant country, with more camping opportunities spread throughout than you’d be able to explore in a lifetime. Whether it’s in the high country of Victoria, or on a pristine beach tucked away in the southwest of WA you’ll find some world-class camping locations.

However, not all of them have running water, flushing toilets and hot showers. In fact, many have none of the above! In this post, we look at what it takes to be a self-sufficient camper, which allows you to camp in places where the facilities are lacking, or non-existent.

What’s the point of being self-sufficient?

You might think it’s a ridiculous idea to even consider going to a campsite without the facilities you’d get in a caravan park. The thing is though, if you are self-sufficient, you have your own gear and don’t need to be dependent on others providing it. It’s not a case of going without.

This dramatically opens up your options for where you can camp, and has a number of other benefits that we will look into below.

Self-sufficiency means you can experience campsites like this, that are further off the beaten track. Photo: Aaron Schubert

Make sure you are comfortable

I’m not going to suggest for a minute you should be camping like a cave man (although if that’s your style, go for it!).

Camping has this horrible stigma attached to it that’s uncomfortable. Some people firmly believe if you are going camping for the weekend you’ll be cold, uncomfortable and roughing it. The reality is this couldn’t be further from the truth, providing you have the right gear and know how to use it properly.

Nothing will ruin an amazing camping trip than being uncomfortable. Whether that’s getting wet and cold, being blasted by the wind, not being able to go to the toilet comfortably, or having a terrible sleep each night, there’s a huge range of ways that your camping trip can be uncomfortable. I firmly believe you should be comfortable when camping.

What are the benefits of self-sufficient camping?

There are many advantages of camping in a self-sufficient manner. Some are financial, and others are purely for a better experience. Either way, you are able to mix it up as you feel like doing so.

Our self-sufficient set up at Murchison House Station. Photo: Aaron Schubert

It’s much cheaper

There’s no doubt that if you provide your own facilities, the cost is cheaper. Caravan Parks, in particular, are the perfect example. I rang around a few months back and was priced $192 for 3 nights on an unpowered site for 2 adults and a baby. That’s not even on the high end either! Some caravan parks in peak season charge up to $100 per night.

Camping has historically been a cheap way to have a fantastic holiday, but when you’re paying more in camping fees than you would be if you rented a house, something is not right.

In many cases, self-sufficient camping allows for free camping entirely. If it’s in a national park, or shire run site, you will get charged $5 – $10 per person per night, which is still excellent value for money.

Usually, the less available facilities, the cheaper the camping is.

Escape the hordes of people

I like to interact with others, but when it comes to camping I’ve always found it’s much more enjoyable to have your own slice of paradise. I’d rather not be able to see any other campers –  to truly get away from everything and relax with friends and family.

Australia is a big place so there’s no reason why you can’t have your own slice for a few days at a time!

Caravan sites are great, but it’s great to be able to have your own space so you can relax. Photo: Aaron Schubert

Better locations

There’s no doubt that there are some truly spectacular campsites available with the facilities you need. However, in my experience, there’s often a better campsite up the road if you’re self-sufficient. Looking back at our camping experiences, the best ones have been in truly mind-boggling locations that you’d only go to if you were self-sufficient.

What do you need to be self-sufficient?

In actual fact, you don’t need anything overly fancy to be self-sufficient. People have lived off the land for years in a very simple lifestyle. Vary what you have based on how you want to live, but below are the basics.

Drinking water

At home, it’s easy to turn the tap on and get clean drinking water out. When you are camping though, it’s a luxury that’s often not available. Sometimes you can get water from creeks and rivers, and this is easily used for dish washing and showers. The simplest way to have clean drinking water when you’re camping though is to take it with you.

Options start off atwater bottles, which are cheap and straight forward. From there, you move into water tanks and bladders, and finally, reverse osmosis units and filtration systems. Some people split their water storage into drinking and non-drinking containers. Whatever the case, take enough clean drinking water and some more in case something goes wrong.

Toilets

There are thousands of toilets in Australia. The problem though is there’s not usually one where you want to camp! Most Shire and national park run sites will have a drop toilet, but if you haven’t got access to one – what are your options?

The simplest and cheapest option is to dig a hole and do your business in it. You need a shovel, some toilet paper and a bit of time. Dig it at least 30cm deep, make sure all toilet paper is well buried (or burnt if safe to do so), and cover it in. Don’t go near creeks, rivers or lakes and populated walkways, and make sure it’s left clean.

Beyond that, you can get a huge array of portable toilets and stands to sit on. It’s not that hard, but it’s something that people need to urgent their attention to, as it’s becoming a massive problem out bush.

Don’t rely on public toilets, make sure you have a few options for going to the toilet when going off the grid. Photo: Aaron Schubert

Shower/bathing facilities

You can go a couple of days without a wash, but it gets a bit feral beyond that. Water is always an issue, as it’s heavy and hard to carry with you. That said, if you can get it from a creek or river, you won’t have any issues having a shower or wash. When water is short, just use a flannel and bucket to clean yourself. Boil the kettle and mix it with some cold water in a bucket. Alternatively, if you have access to a fire you can warm water in a stainless bucket.

Bathing facilities can be scarce, so a simple and effective option is a solar shower bag. Photo: Aaron Schubert

Lighting and 12V power

Never have we lived in a world where there’s better access to cheap, quality and efficient lighting options for camping. Headlamps, Lanterns and LED strip lighting are amazing, and lighting is no longer an issue when camping.

12V power has come along in leaps and bounds, and you can actually run a wide variety of gear off-grid without much difficulty.

Lighting is no problem, as there are plenty of 12V powered lighting options available now. Photo: Aaron Schubert

Warmth

There’s no doubt about it –  you have to be warm when camping. Fortunately, this is normally fairly easy if you dress appropriately. Bring clothing to suit the location you’re going to and make sure your sleeping bag is rated low enough. If it’s cold, you can usually have a campfire which goes a long way to staying comfortable.

Grey water collection

Some official ‘self-sufficient’ campsites require you to collect any grey water (dishwater and shower water). If this is the case, collect it in a tank or jerry can and take it out.

Knowledge

You have to understand how to use the gear you have, and when a decision needs to be made. If you can see a massive storm front in, perhaps it’s a good idea to delay the camping trip! A lot of this comes from experience. The best way to learn is to get out there and learn it as you go!

Consider how you’re planning on storing and refrigerating food on your trip. Photo: Aaron Schubert

Food

The food you eat when camping off the grid is going to be different to what you have at home. It doesn’t have to be vastly different, just think about your options for refrigeration, cooking, and cleaning. Some food lasts a long time, and others will perish quickly. 12V and gas fridges are easily run today out of a 4WD and open your food options up substantially.

Shelter

There have never been more choices for comfortable, self-sufficient camping in Australia. Tents have come a long way, and then there are more shelters, such as camper trailers, hybrids and caravans on the market than you can poke a stick at. These vary wildly in price and features, so get something that suits your needs and budget.

You’ve got so many options for shelter, here’s our tent set up at the most Western point of WA. Photo: Aaron Schubert

Initial expense vs return

You can’t deny that camping off the grid requires more gear. There is an initial expense required, how much depends vastly on how you want to do it, but if you’re camping regularly away from facilities you will save a fortune. For those who’ve done a lot of camping and travelling, you’d know fuel is usually the biggest cost, with food and camping fees next in line. Do a lot of free camping, and you’ll pay for your gear many times over.

The general guide for travelling around Australia as a family is anywhere from $450 – $1200 per week. If you are self-sufficient, you can easily save several hundred dollars a week in camping fees alone.

Start slow and progress forward

If you haven’t done much camping before, start slow and work your way up. Caravan parks are a fantastic place to camp, and when you know you are comfortable and what you have works, move onto a campsite with only a toilet, and then one without any facilities at all.

We’ve got an amazing country to explore, so see you out there! Let me know what you’ve got to make self-sufficient camping easier!

#130: Can Science Help Us Make Our Homes Happier?

Can the colors, furnishings, and accessories that we choose for our home actually make us feel quantifiably happier? Today we dive into the science of joy and learn how some tried-and-true design tricks might actually be affecting our daily moods (and how to make tasks that we don’t love a little more enjoyable). We also pin down a few ways that we’ve unknowingly added joy to our house, and a few others that could still use some work. Plus, the lesson we learned from waiting too long to give up on a piece of furniture, and a big dollhouse fail.

You can download this episode from Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn Radio, and Spotify – or listen to it below! Note: If you’re reading in a feed reader, you may have to click through to the post to see the player.

What’s New

chairs | marble side table | end tables | sofa | similar poufs | rug & table: secondhand

That’s the Instagram photo above where many of you noticed that we had a new coffee table.

Here’s a better shot from the other side of the room, where you can see the X-base a little better (with those nice little nooks on each end to slide two white poufs from upstairs).

And here’s a closer photo where you can also see that the finish isn’t totally perfect, but it’s functioning just fine for our family (much better than our ottoman in those final days). And we’ll share all the details if we tile the top or refinish it in some other way.

For reference, here’s a shot from a couple of years ago that showed the big leather storage ottoman that it replaced. It served us well for around 8 or 9 years, so we’re not mad at it.

I tried to dig up some photos of its deterioration (and the “dandruff” it left all over the house) but we apparently avoided capturing it – or at least vacuumed it up before taking photos. But here’s a random iPhone shot we took last year where you can kind of see the bare spots forming along the top where the faux leather had started to peel. And those white dots on the floor are all ottoman confetti.

Sherry also mentioned that headboard in our guest room, which is actually the BACK of a wicker headboard that we got on craigslist. Here’s a shot of it below, and you can read more about it in our second book, Lovable Livable Home ;)

That’s Embarrassing

Here’s a photo of the Sweet Shop in progress, and the dozens and dozens of little pieces we were tasked with turning into some semblance of a dollhouse-sized candy store. (Note the paper fan blades in the foreground that were meant to become a ceiling fan. Spoiler – that did not happen).

Like I said in the episode, I think Sherry did it a great job getting something together just in time for Christmas, and our daughter LOVES IT. As Sherry pointed out, it doesn’t look much like the picture on the box, though.

And if you missed the previous discussions about our family’s recent foray into dollhousing, you can catch Episode #124, Episode #125, and this post about the first dollhouse makeover.

“Joyful” Decor Discussion

First things first, here is a link to the book Sherry loved (she finally finished it so I get to read it next): “Joyful: The Surprising Power Of Ordinary Things To Create Extraordinary Happiness.”

And here are a couple of the spaces we referenced in the discussion, like the “surprise” DIY fabric covered wall in our daughter’s closet…

…and the removable wallpaper murals that we recently installed at the duplex.

You can also scroll up to see all of the “circles” and round objects we didn’t realize we have in our living room. When you start to look around, they’re EVERYWHERE.

And if you want to add some “celebration” to your house in the form of string lights, these are the patio lights we have in our backyard (and the outdoor smart plug we use to control them).

And here are the salt lamp nightlights that Sherry turns on every single day to add some glow around the house (we have three in the kitchen and one in each bedroom upstairs).

We’re Digging

You can see Sherry’s big gleaming “brasshopper” (brass grasshopper figurine) in the photo below (and you can kinda see the little one that lives on our mantel at home in the second photo of this post).

Below is the Paymaster painting we bought from listener Vita who painted it while listening. And check out all of the round objects in our office too!

#130: Can Science Help Us Make Our Homes Happier?

Can the colors, furnishings, and accessories that we choose for our home actually make us feel quantifiably happier? Today we dive into the science of joy and learn how some tried-and-true design tricks might actually be affecting our daily moods (and how to make tasks that we don’t love a little more enjoyable). We also pin down a few ways that we’ve unknowingly added joy to our house, and a few others that could still use some work. Plus, the lesson we learned from waiting too long to give up on a piece of furniture, and a big dollhouse fail.

You can download this episode from Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn Radio, and Spotify – or listen to it below! Note: If you’re reading in a feed reader, you may have to click through to the post to see the player.

What’s New

chairs | marble side table | end tables | sofa | similar poufs | rug & table: secondhand

That’s the Instagram photo above where many of you noticed that we had a new coffee table.

Here’s a better shot from the other side of the room, where you can see the X-base a little better (with those nice little nooks on each end to slide two white poufs from upstairs).

And here’s a closer photo where you can also see that the finish isn’t totally perfect, but it’s functioning just fine for our family (much better than our ottoman in those final days). And we’ll share all the details if we tile the top or refinish it in some other way.

For reference, here’s a shot from a couple of years ago that showed the big leather storage ottoman that it replaced. It served us well for around 8 or 9 years, so we’re not mad at it.

I tried to dig up some photos of its deterioration (and the “dandruff” it left all over the house) but we apparently avoided capturing it – or at least vacuumed it up before taking photos. But here’s a random iPhone shot we took last year where you can kind of see the bare spots forming along the top where the faux leather had started to peel. And those white dots on the floor are all ottoman confetti.

Sherry also mentioned that headboard in our guest room, which is actually the BACK of a wicker headboard that we got on craigslist. Here’s a shot of it below, and you can read more about it in our second book, Lovable Livable Home ;)

That’s Embarrassing

Here’s a photo of the Sweet Shop in progress, and the dozens and dozens of little pieces we were tasked with turning into some semblance of a dollhouse-sized candy store. (Note the paper fan blades in the foreground that were meant to become a ceiling fan. Spoiler – that did not happen).

Like I said in the episode, I think Sherry did it a great job getting something together just in time for Christmas, and our daughter LOVES IT. As Sherry pointed out, it doesn’t look much like the picture on the box, though.

And if you missed the previous discussions about our family’s recent foray into dollhousing, you can catch Episode #124, Episode #125, and this post about the first dollhouse makeover.

“Joyful” Decor Discussion

First things first, here is a link to the book Sherry loved (she finally finished it so I get to read it next): “Joyful: The Surprising Power Of Ordinary Things To Create Extraordinary Happiness.”

And here are a couple of the spaces we referenced in the discussion, like the “surprise” DIY fabric covered wall in our daughter’s closet…

…and the removable wallpaper murals that we recently installed at the duplex.

You can also scroll up to see all of the “circles” and round objects we didn’t realize we have in our living room. When you start to look around, they’re EVERYWHERE.

And if you want to add some “celebration” to your house in the form of string lights, these are the patio lights we have in our backyard (and the outdoor smart plug we use to control them).

And here are the salt lamp nightlights that Sherry turns on every single day to add some glow around the house (we have three in the kitchen and one in each bedroom upstairs).

We’re Digging

You can see Sherry’s big gleaming “brasshopper” (brass grasshopper figurine) in the photo below (and you can kinda see the little one that lives on our mantel at home in the second photo of this post).

Below is the Paymaster painting we bought from listener Vita who painted it while listening. And check out all of the round objects in our office too!
