Roof Turbine Fans

I've always been twitterpated with these things. Are they effective? Do they even cool? I don't know. But they've appealed to me: a visual treat, a simple aluminum, spinning crown for the home. And a crown for me ... since my home is my castle and a reflection of me!



However, I now have seen the down side of them as this Austin, Texas video so well illustrates. Squeeeeeeeeeeeek!



Plus, I understand that they often trap birds and THAT is not pretty.

Elves!

Love 'em or hate 'em ... they are a fact of life and particularly active at Christmas and in the Springtime (visual proof to follow in that season!).

Awesome Fake Fire!

I made the best purchase! Electric logs that make a gentle crackling noise. So not to pollute and because my fireplace doesn't draw well and is generally a hassle, I previously had candles in my double-sided fireplace. I was able to tilt this electric log set by Pleasant Hearth at an angle and add a few more of my own logs; it looks and sounds terrific from both sides. So happy!

Concrete Orbs In The Garden

You can make one (as I made the last one) by filling a child's bouncy ball with Quik-rete®. But get your own ball; don't steal from a child ... heh heh. Also, consider that it can get very heavy if you choose a large ball.

I am hearting the Rottweiler. Too bad he's graduating from the Library to School. So long, Hummer!
