| Country Living With Wood Console Tables | | 2008-05-09 01:15:16 | | The wooden console table often forms the centerpiece of 'country living' as I am sure that most of you would already know. Wooden furniture and similar furniture often form the backdrop of most of the country style houses. Plastic do not come into play at these settings. Wooden furniture is generally used to a large extent in most of the country houses as there is a need for furniture to be sturdy and one that does nto break at the slightest sign of pressure or stress. Take for example, the wooden console tale, as it is the console table would also at times form the function of the side tray and there are times when it would be required to carry a heavy load on it. One cannot expect a plastic table to carry the same load without buckling under due pressure. Which is why the wooden console table as well as other similar wooden furniture form the main backbone as far as 'country living' goes by.The neat thing about wooden console tables is that one can get them with any engravings that o | | By: Home Interior Decorating Trends Ideas | | |
| | Waldy's Wood Fired Pizza & Penne | | 2008-05-08 07:10:00 | | Waldy's Wood Fired Pizza & Penne Waldy's Wood Fired Pizza & Penne is what you get when you attempt to turn thin crust pizza into fast food. The prices are lower than the other thin-crust, sold-by-the-pie joints, in return for busing your own tables and a lower quality of food.We tried the Classic Margherita which was uninteresting in flavor. The dough is crispy but has zero elasticity, which basically makes it a cracker with sauce and cheese.The Braised Lamb, Roasted Lemon & Oregano Pizza was more interesting (because I've never had lamb on pizza before) but not appealing enough to come back for. Again, the dough is the real put-off, hard flat, cracker bread.They also have Wood Roasted Penne's that they call Mac & Cheese. We chose Sausage & Broccoli Rabe which was served in a container that made it look like a frozen dinner. Although there is cheese on top, it doesn't really classify as a Mac & Cheese for us. It was crumbled sausage with pieces of broccoli rabe, | | By: FoodMayhem | | |
| | | The Other Old Wood Door | | 2008-05-05 17:05:00 | | The other old wood door is in the kitchen and leads out to Main Rd. For the previous owners this was the main entry, but for us it's the back entry. We use the door that leads out to the porch and that Peter is destined to strip of its green as the front entry. It has the extra fancy moldings, which makes me believe that it was always meant the be the main entry. But back to the back entry door, the door in the picture. We agreed on doing it my way and my way always involves throwing something away. So we took out the paint cluttered moldings and junked them and the surface was clear to be sanded, easy. Now we just buy new moldings, nail them on, clear coat with water based Poly, reattach the shiny restored door hardware (scroll down to see) and we'll have a beautiful new old wood back door. | | By: Dutch Colonial Home | | |

| | Chin Implants And Holly wood Hunks: The Plastic Surgery Institute of California | | 2008-04-28 01:23:00 | | Hollywood actors are known to make headlines for severing ties with their best pals, break ups, liaisons and looks. Celebrities are in constant quest to enhance their appearance to stay ahead of their competitors.The celebs are opting for plastic surgery procedures such as chin implants to improve their facial contour.The chin is one of the most important features of the face. A weak or a receding chin detracts the facial harmony. With the help of the chin implants a weak chin can be brought into a better balance with the face.This famous method is mainly executed in Hollywood because the chin implant procedure makes the face more attractive and less tired.The plastic surgery procedure is designed to correct an over projecting or under projecting chin to achieve a natural aesthetically and balanced pleasing appearance.As with any form of surgery, the chin implant procedures carry some amount of risks. These risks can be minimized by performing the chin implant procedures from board cer | | By: Chin Surgery Beverly Hills | | |

| | Stripping Paint off our Old Wood Entry Door, or my Love for Old Wood has reached its limit. | | 2008-04-23 14:49:00 | | Peter wants to bring the entry door that leads out to the porch back to its previous life preserving all the details. So I gave it a try today and began stripping off the green paint. The orange gel stripper that helps save the planet did not work at all, the other one that's environmentally unfriendly did get some of the green paint off, but the fumes made me sick to my stomach, and the result left me unimpressed. My love for old wood has officially come to an end with this door and I gladly sacrifice the details and suggest that we forget about it (meaning that Peter forgets about of course because I already have) and turn to good old sanding. | | By: Dutch Colonial Home | | |

A start right after breakfast and keep going without a significant break till sunset kind of day, which I haven't done for a long time. I can still feel it in my legs, all the kneeling from edge sanding the old wood floor. Peter on the other hand enjoyed a healthy workout going up and down the stairs leading into the basement workshop a zillion times, cutting wood pieces to repair the kitchen floor as well as fitting new moldings for the two windows above the sink. We did get to soak in the last evening sun rays over a Bass Ale and mixed nuts though, initiating the porch for the season. Here are the pictures:The black vent covers had to go since additional baseboard heaters are planned to run along the wall. This is where the wall was, and the repair here is temporary. We still have to figure out how we are going to bring the two different wood floors together.And brand new moldings for these windows. | | By: Dutch Colonial Home | | |

| | Wood Replacement Windows | | 2008-04-06 05:14:57 | | If you're planning to add replacement windows, consider the durability and beauty of wood. Wood replacement windows often are used in upscale homes because they add a high level of style and durability. Wood replacement windows also can be used in older homes to blend with existing windows, molding and trim. They are sold in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and styles -- from sleek contemporary models to rich traditional designs. While most manufacturers sell a variety of sizes, they also can make custom windows to fit unusual openings.One issue to consider when buying wood replacement windows is the cost, which can be 10 to 30 percent higher than other materials. Materials such as vinyl and aluminum are less costly and easier to maintain, but they may not last as long as wood. Wood replacement windows also require more frequent maintenance, as they should be painted or stained every several years to retain the desired look.If you are torn between the various window materials, another o | | By: Home Remodeling and Repair Tips | | |
| | Remodeling Cost Cutting Considering Simulated Wood? | | 2008-04-04 12:55:08 | | Simulated wood products are getting better all the time, and now there are some very innovative new manufacturing methods which create a much more realistic simulated wood, which can be applied to plastic, foam or a number of other products. "You just cannot tell the difference," states Stan Smith, a journeyman master woodworker and he explains that he is still busy doing finish carpentry for those who want the real thing, as there is nothing more authentic than real wood. Still, Stan admits that it is intriguing for those on a budget who wish to save money and now-a-days it is always about the cost, trying to save a little here or there. He is not bitter, but would not put it in his own house. Now manufacturing methods for simulated wood include wood grain being cut into the plastic sheeting or foam by way of laser and the finished product is extremely convincing. When we sampled several products, with the laser cut wood grain, we could not tell the difference without tapping on the w | | By: Home Remodeling and Repair Tips | | |
| | Yes, Wood Mulch Attracts Termites | | 2008-04-03 09:20:56 | | Organic matter such as mulch attracts termites and provides a way for termites to travel from one location to the next. Mulch retains moisture, which termites thrive on and is usually placed along the foundation of homes. Here comes the termites and you gave them a ride right to the door.In other words, man made mulch is better than organic mulch. The termites prefer the organic to the man made mulch, which has pebbles, plastic and rubber to name a few things, which termites do not attract to at all. Wood mulch is made from many different things including grass clippings, pine chunks, wood shavings and bark to name a few.People use mulch for different reasons; one is for decoration and for flower or vegetable gardens. Mulch keeps the ground temperature and this adds to the attraction of termites. Therefore, this reason alone tells us wood mulch attracts termites. Mulch is also high in cellulose because of the material that makes up the organic material.Treating the mulch with a termite | | By: Home and Garden - Information on Gardening, Garden | | |
| | Beauty of Wood Fountain Pens | | 2008-04-01 19:18:00 | | Dedicated pen collectors, passionate amateur lovers and all other "in-the-know" can easily draw a solid distinguishing line between professionally manufactured, mass-produces, mechanically engraved and encrusted writing instruments, and hand-crafted wood fountain pens. The latter items are pure gems in the eyes of connoisseurs treasuring the delicate uniqueness of each of the crafted pens. When you buy a pen from a world-renowned manufacturer like Sheaffer or Waterman, you can't really expect to get a unique piece of art. With wood fountain pens crafted by passionate amateurs it is a whole lot different story. You can communicate directly with the craftsman who produces wood fountain pens per order. You can order the material, the type of wood, the nib, discuss patterns of texture and shape, choose the filling mechanism (piston of converter), participate in designing the gift box, etc. That is, your input is significant at every stage of crafting the wood fountain pen.

| | The Truth about Solid Wood Furniture | | 2008-03-29 09:06:09 | | Guidelines
There seems to be a complete misunderstanding of what real wood is capable of and what it tends to do.
People seem to think that because something is made out of solid wood, especially hardwoods that it will always and forever remain perfect no matter how you treat it or neglect it. Let me state right now solid wood furniture is not for everyone. If you don’t have the time or desire to take care of it, please save yourself and the store you may by it from alot of headache and stick to particle board & formica.
The biggest problem I see with people is that they don’t understand that you MUST take care of the furniture. Solid wood is not particle board & formica. It reacts to the environment it’s in… like a plant! Water, Water, Water!!!
One of the best things you can do is to keep the humidity in the room at 45% or HIGHER. I see tables and other pieces of furniture all the time that split because there is no humidifier around. I cant stress this enough, humidity is | | By: Amish Furniture Reviews | | |

Nokia’s company history began in the distant 1865 on the southwest of Finland in a wood pulp mill (would you believe it? Nokia started out dealing with wood!) by Frederick Idestem that grew into an established paper industry. Another two companies came into being, doing rubber works & wire & cable manufacturing. His company was renamed Nokia Ab which took on the business of generating electricity. Thus was the beginning of the cell phones producing company; Nokia.

Then it came on again and at the very end, the coin dropped. "Morning tongue" is the equivalent of "morning wood"- which is when a man has an erection when he wakes from sleep in the morning. This idiot in the commercial awakens with an enlarged tongue protruding from his mouth.. he goes to Burger King to get relief. Woman looks over at him as he's about to bite in to a cheesy hash brown.. tongue sticking out and all. Hilarious. Genius. When it comes out on YouTube I'll post it. | | By: Amerikan Turk | | |

This violates the harassment order. I let her know that she needed to tell us or she was breaking the law. She's not saying a word.

I tend to have an obsessive personality and there are times when blogging is my obsession, and other times when it is not.Part of the challenge, or the reverse of that, is that things are on a pretty even keel for us right now.

| | Are you after uniqueness? Wood fountain pens will inspire you | | 2008-02-11 17:46:00 | | Why wood fountain pens?Wood fountain pens have become very popular because of 3 main factors:1) Unlike mass-production pens, wood FP's are hand-made and each item is absolutely unique by the nature of its manufacturing;2) wood is the healthiest material out there, far more eco-friendly than those made of plastic or acrylic substance;3) Wooden fountain pens can be customized exactly the way customer wants. Engraving, colouring, type of wood, filling mechanism, nib - everything is up to customer's wishes.Wooden fountain pens are hand-turned using a lathe, and the essential tools necessary to create beautiful wooden products. The wood pens are made from exotic wood from countries such as Africa, South America, and Central America. They are finished with the highest quality craftsmanship.And of course wood pens makers offer responsive service and friendly support - something that not every big manufacturer can provide its customers with.All this makes wood fountain pens really awesome gift | | By: Fountain Pens Site | | |
| | Omas 360 Snake Wood Fountain Pen | | 2008-02-10 16:20:00 | | The Omas 360 Snake Wood Fountain pen combines the triangular form and full size of this pen with a snake wood overlay. Omas has solved a problem that plagued their wood pens in the past. Because wood is a natural material that shrinks and expands with the time because of changes in humidity, it was vulnerable to cracking, especially at the cap lip and at the edge of the barrel. This new wood fountain pen is banded at the cap lip and secured at the barrel edge, greatly minimizing this possibility. Even though snake wood is hard and dense, and the wood is sealed with varnish, please note that all wood pens need special care to avoid staining the wood with ink.Notice how different the color of the barrel wood is from that of the cap and from the filling knob. Even though it is cut from the same block of wood, this pen illustrates the range of appearance within this organic and variable material.The OMAS 360 isn't the most expensive wooden fountain pen in OMAS' regular series, but it is ce | | By: Fountain Pens Site | | |
| | Ed Wood | | 2008-02-05 19:03:00 | | I recently rewatched one of my favorite Tim Burton-Johnny Depp collaborations, Ed Wood. Ed Wood tells the story of the man widely recognized as the worst director in the history of film. Edward D. Wood Jr.Wood is famous for such films as Glen or Glenda and Plan 9 From Outer Space. These films are considered classics today due to their incredibly awful production values, poor writing, terrible acting, and overall crappiness. Basically, they are so bad that they're good.Burton's film stars Johnny Depp as the titular character. Ed Wood is a peculiar fellow who has a fetish for angora and enjoys dressing up in women's clothing. He also happens to be a film maker who fashions himself to be in the vein of one of cinema's greatest directors, writers, and actors, Orson Welles. The only difference between Welles and Wood just so happens to be talent.Wood is struggling as a second rate stage director when he finally gets his chance to make it big in moving pictures.

| | More Tips to Reduce Wood Smoke Pollution | | 2008-01-09 11:48:00 | | OK, so you have your CSA/EPA certified wood stove, and have properly prepared, seasoned and stored your wood for maximum burning efficiency (see previous posts…) Here are some burning tips to help you get the most enjoyment and efficiency out of your stove: Starting the FireAlways start the fire with small pieces of wood or kindling lit with crumpled newspaper. Completely open the air supply vent. When the fire from the kindling subsides, add several small pieces of firewood. Gradually increase the size of the wood as the coals build up. Stack wood loosely in your firebox, so plenty of air circulates around it. Your fire will burn hot and efficiently rather than smoulder and generate wood smoke. Maintaining the FireKeep the flame bright and lively. Your fire should only smoke for a few minutes when you first light it and when you add extra wood. Keep enough air in the fire to maintain a flame. Don't let your fire smoulder overnight. Use a self powered wood stove fan to move the hot air from your wood stove to other parts of the room or house. These fans run silently by themselves with no electricity or batteries needed. Simply leave the fan on the top of the stove. The hotter your stove, the faster it spins. Available at home improvement stores, wood stove retailers and on the internet. Chimney Concerns Here's how your chimney can help you determine if you are using your appliance correctly:Check your chimney regularly to see how well your fire is doing. Excessive smoke coming from your chimney is a sign of poor combustion as is dark and smelly smoke. Try increasing the air supply to your fire. If a fire smokes for more than 30 minutes when you start it, or more than a few minutes when you add wood, there is a problem with the wood, the operating method or both.Check the chimney regularly for a build-up of soot or creosote.

| | Reducing Wood Smoke Pollution | | 2008-01-07 11:38:00 | | Wood smoke contains over 100 pollutants -- these pollutants not only negatively impact the environment but are also linked to a wide range of health problems. According to Environment Canada, residential wood combustion is a major contributor to winter smog. However, by choosing a wood stove that has been certified for low emissions by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the US or the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), you can significantly reduce the wood smoke emissions you produce. Another way to reduce the amount of pollutants coming from your wood heating appliance is to only burn properly prepared and seasoned firewood. Here are some important tips to consider: Wood Condition & Seasoning Firewood needs to be dry. Obtain your firewood in early spring and allow it to dry over the summer months. Stack it outside, covered and off the ground with room for air to circulate freely between the pieces. Dry firewood has checks or cracks in the ends of the logs. It is darker at the ends and weighs less than freshly cut wood. Firewood should not look nor feel rotten.Signs that your firewood is not dry enough:The wood is hard to ignite.The wood hisses and sizzles in the firebox.The fire produces more smoke than heat. Log Size Use small, finely split pieces of firewood. Small pieces have more surface exposed to the flame and will burn cleaner. They produce short, hot fires. Larger pieces can be used to maintain extended firing cycles. Tree Species Ideallly, burn a mixture of hardwood and softwood; it maintains the forest's natural diversity. Make sure the wood is harvested from sustainable forests. Hardwood is the preferred firewood since it produces longer lasting burn, but any type of dry wood will burn. Softwood needs to be used in larger quantities but is also the most common wood on Canada's coasts and northern areas.Tomorrow:Starting and maintaining your fire for maximum efficiency.

| | Choosing A Wood Heating Appliance for your Home | | 2008-01-05 12:31:00 | | As I wrote yesterday, approximately 20 percent of the single family dwellings in Canada are heated to some extent with wood. According to Environment Canada, residential wood heating is the third largest source of fine particle emissions associated with human activities. That said, the efficient use of wood fuel is much more eco-friendly than other fuels like kerosene and natural gas. If you decide to buy a wood stove, choose one that has been certified for low emissions by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the US or the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The benefit of the EPA/CSA wood stove for emission reduction is substantial. In a controlled environment, emissions from an EPA/CSA wood stove are reduced by an approximate average of 80%. When using an EPA/CSA wood stove at home it is estimated that emissions are still reduced but in a lesser degree. All in all, you need to remember that even EPA/CSA certified appliances still emit smoke, including a variety of pollutants such as dioxins and furans, which affect local air quality. Therefore, it is important to always maintain good wood burning practices (see tomorrow’s post).Whatever wood stove you have, make sure it is installed according to all applicable codes or regulations. Wood stoves must be properly installed to be safe and efficient. Have a certified professional install your stove (most insurance companies will insist on it before giving you coverage.) Choose the smallest stove that meets your heating needs. This way the stove can operate optimally, burn the wood more efficiently and produce less pollution. Lastly, avoid open fireplaces. They are very inefficient when it comes to heating your home -- they take warm air from your home and bring the cold outside air in. They transfer heat through the outside wall they're built against and they pollute because they simply aren’t as efficient at combusting firewood as a stove.

| | Heating Your Home with Wood: Eco-friendly? Carbon Neutral? | | 2008-01-04 13:56:00 | | Approximately 20 percent of the single family dwellings in Canada are heated to some extent with wood. According to Environment Canada, wood is used in more than 3 million Canadian homes as either a primary or secondary heat source. Of course, woodstoves and fireplaces are not only used for heating purposes, but also to create a “comforting and cozy” atmosphere.The Environment Canada site goes on to say that, in Canada, residential wood heating is responsible for 29% of the fine particle emissions associated with human activities. This makes it the third largest source of these emissions overall. Wood smoke contains over 100 pollutants -- these pollutants not only negatively impact the environment but are also linked to a wide range of health problems, and residential wood combustion is a major contributor to winter smog.That said, the efficient use of wood fuel is much more eco-friendly than more efficient and convenient fuels like kerosene and natural gas. According to the Green Trust website, natural gas emits 15 times more CO2 (carbon dioxide) per kg than wood, and kerosene nearly 10 times as much. Across the globe, most scientists now agree that CO2 is the main source of global warming.Natural Resources Canada states: Wood, however, differs from fossil fuels such as oil and gas because it is carbon neutral. The term "renewable" refers to the fact that trees recycle CO2. As a tree grows, it uses CO2 from the air as a source of carbon to build its structure. This carbon makes up about half of the weight of wood. When wood is burned, it decomposes rapidly, and CO2 is released into the atmosphere again. A similar amount of CO2 would be slowly released if the tree died and was left to rot on the forest floor. As a result, wood heating doesn't contribute to the problem of climate change the way fossil fuel use does. But wood fuel is truly renewable only if it is produced by using sustainable forestry practices. Canada's | | By: Pender Island Blog | | |

| | | bathroom in wood. Part two. | | 2007-12-04 00:31:00 | | Bathtubs with this structure look more than stylish, and, as a rule, keep to the strict minimalism. Most commonly they are a part of designers' collections, where besides them are present a wooden wash basin, receptor, wall panels and accessories, which allows to create a completely finished image of a bathroom space as a whole.The third and most popular type of wooden bathtubs radically differs from all the preceding. In the first place their main feature is not a stylish modern bathroom design, but something quite the contrary. They are deliberately archaic, cottage style, which attracts none the less, and sometimes even stronger, than the quaint but a little cold minimalism. These are really direct heirs of those same primitive small tubs and bathtubs, in which in all continents and all history the mankind have been bathing.The bathroom production technology for these bathtubs is at the same time simple and complicated. On the one hand, they are direct descendants of a cask, because they represent a bottom and sides, made of separate boards, fixed by copper or brass bands. The tightness is reached mainly by precise adjustment of all elements to each other, and use of modern sealers is only an auxiliary factor. The method of waterproof wood processing here is approximately the same as with casks.The form of the bathtubs of this type is usually circular or oval, which is determined by production peculiarities. Tubs strongly remind their prototype, and look like supernormal casks. All in all, for example, "an ofuro" bathtub in a modern version practically doesn't differ from those in which in their times lavished samurais after battles.By the way, bathtubs and fonts, created after a fashion and style of a cask, are equipped by hydro and air-massage, which makes them even more attractive. And it's in the first instance not a designer's whim or a stylish decoration of the interior, but rather a pragmatic thing, devised to be constantly exploited in a usual regime. | | By: All of Home | | |
| | bathroom in wood. Part one. | | 2007-12-04 00:30:00 | | For many years there occurs in a modern bathroom a silent battle between necessary practicalities and designers' ideas. Now and again people place there something out of the common. One of the demonstrative examples of this kind might be a bathtub, made of a natural wood. By some reason, we believe that water and wood are incompatible. But let's remember ancient small tubs, casks and troughs. Well, we might consider a wooden bathtub a distant descendant of its archaic ancestors, and it looks into the future with quite confidence.Surely, wood is not too fit for making bathroom fixtures, but a general trend to sacrifice more functionality for glamorous exterior brought blocks of rich woods back to circulation. Moreover, a certain role was played by a change in the social outlook, and by the aspiration to bring to one's life more of naturalness and, of course, a fashion for all real. As a result, wood has become a terrific lure for effeminate consumer. A possibility to have in one's bathroom a rare, stylish and actually symbolic object has totally compensated for some non-practicality and complicity of care.Not only wooden bathtub, but stylish bathtub.During several last centuries practically all the vessels, which crossed the expanses of the seas and oceans of the Earth, were being built only from wood. This centuries old experience was picked up by the modern producers of wooden bathtubs. They use for their production only those species of woods, which naturally possess a high stability towards moister attack, like teak wood blocks, mahogany, wenge wood, larch, i. e. those, which historically were most valued by shipbuilders. A costly and sophisticated modern bathroom technology, with the help of which the bathtubs are protected from ruinous impact of moisture, is a fruit of handling development for ships and yachts hulls. A special chic is in trying to preserve wood in its primeval beauty, to minimize all perceptible coatings. Smooth and streamlined, these batht | | By: All of Home | | |

| | Using Metal Hangers/Connectors For Wood Framing | | 2007-11-12 19:47:00 | | One of the great products available for construction these days are the metal hangers and connectors. Almost every house built today uses some type of hanger to connect joists, beams and posts. We use a multitude of these hangers everyday. We use them for joists, trusses, beams, headers, posts, columns and walls.A great resource for helping you select the proper connector is Simpson Strong-Tie. The site has tons of hangers for every type of connection you can think of. They even have a cool free software selector that you can download.The nice thing about using these types of hangers and connection plates is you can create much stronger mechanical connections. Instead of relying on "toe-nailing" or end nailing you can make connections that rely on the fasteners in shear. The shear strength of nails is much higher than a nail in tension pulling out of wood.Keep your eyes open for these great devices and ask about them at your local lumber yard.

| | Chopping wood... | | 2007-10-16 08:49:00 | | The past 3 days the girls and I visited some friends' at their derelict farm in Sweden, where I (when I wasn't drinking beer) spent several hours every day chopping wood. That certainly was great and much needed exercise for arms, shoulders and back, but it also (once again) made it painfully clear that my shape was a whole lot better in the old days, before I became a dad.Speaking of Sweden, I found the new Kent album Tillbaka Till Samtiden in my mailbox last night. It definitely sounded much better in the car this morning than it did on the computer last week.Thanks to whoever was responsible for sending me Life Of A Ghost by Blue Foundation.

| | Two Calm Nights in a Row (knock on wood) | | 2007-09-12 15:11:39 | | Everyone was tired and asleep early again last night, us included. I did get up and get to the Y and posted a humerous anecdote about something stupid I did there on the dieting blog. This morning I had to take 6 of the 7 kids living at home to school as Bart needed to be on campus by 7:00 and Bart had agreed to take him. Our old van has officially died (well, it has managed to have a repair needed that would cost more than the van is worth -- possibly double what it is worth) so we are down to two vehicles. This also meant that I needed to supervise the morning alone for the first time since school started and this year we've added sack lunch making to our routine, so I did that.I was so proud of the kids.
