  • DO IT YOURSELF: ; Check Basement to Cut Fuel Costs
  • Sunday Gazette - Mail; Charleston, W.V. (12/30/2007)
  • Q. We are losing a lot of heat through our metal-framed basement windows; the cold comes through the glass and we can feel it upstairs. I'd like to install acrylic storm windows on the outside, forming an air space between the inside and outside windows. I spend a lot of time in my basement and a few years ago decided to insulate some of the tilt-down basement windows even more thoroughly.
  • Stained-Glass Chic is Really, Really Old
  • Cincinnati Post (12/29/2007)
  • For centuries, glassblowers tried to get the imperfections out of their handblown stained-glass windows. "Now homeowners seem to want the imperfections back," says designer John Everage of Santa Monica, Calif. He's one of many architects and designers who say their clients increasingly ask for handmade stained-glass windows that are designed, built and installed almost exactly the way it was done 900 years ago.Whether for a faux chateau, a pseudo palazzo, or a super-sized Craftsman, custom stained-glass windows made with handblown glass are now considered the ultimate finishing touch in some of Los Angeles' most lavish new homes.With their subtle waviness and tiny bubbles (a tip-off that the glass was made by humans, not machines), the windows are luxury items in the extreme: Each set is unique, designed specifically for the site, created to blend with the architecture and the homeowner's artistic preferences.

  • Record, The; Bergen County, N.J. (12/16/2007)
  • DEAR TIM: I need to know how to install a pre-hung door. This door is a regular interior door, not an exterior door. Pre-hung doors often come from the factory with the jambs a little long. This is done on purpose so you can install the door in places where there will be carpet and not have to cut off the bottom of the new door.
