Go Green!
No I’m not cheering for a sports team even though my high school colors were green and white. I am talking about green design. What is green design, you ask? Well it is when you use all natural products and products that reduce energy use in your home.
It is very easy to go green as we in the design industry like to say. One of the easiest ways to start is by replacing your appliances with energy star ones. Yes this can be expensive, but for most people it will not change there habits too much, but it will save you money in the long run and help the environment at the same time.
What else can you do to go green? Well if your thinking about putting in hardwood floors opt for bamboo flooring as bamboo is a strong wood that is great for flooring, but it’s also considered a weed, and grows very quickly, bamboo can be harvested after only 2 years, so it is considered a renewable resource.
Another way to go green and save you money is to replace all of your light bulbs with the new florescent ones. This can save you so much per year that you can get your money back in less then 2 years, and they last up to 7 years, much better then those other light bulbs.
The last thing I am going to talk about is windows, are your windows drafty and let out that warm air in the winter and cool air in the summer? Well if your thinking about replacing them go for the energy star windows, they insulate and keep all the air you want to stay in your home in, and the air you don’t want out. They also will cut down on your heating bill and help the environment at the same time.
There are many other ways to go green, so start with these and find some more, good luck!

New York City has electricity dude and air conditioning units, but they do not run 24 hours per day and on occasion they falter, and on occasion tenants may forget to maintain them or even turn them on, and from time to time it is possible that water may wind up on the hard wood floors. An easy way to counter any expansion is to leave a quarter inch along the perimeter should such circumstances occur. My customers expect me to counter these possabilities…

This is a dust-devil. They form from the ground – up on cloudless, sunny days. All it is, is warm air at the surface (next to the ground) lifting upwards, and the most efficient manner in doing this is by spinning. Remember….heat always risies. A real tornado ALWAYS forms inside clouds, usually large cumulo-nimbus clouds…and works way downwards. usually much much stronger than dust devils.
