Of my many interests and hobbies photography is something I can do anywhere. When Im not photographing my kids or taking photos of my built projects I enjoy capturing life around me. The Unknown Fishermen reminds me of my own father and grandfather and it now hangs on the wall of one of my recent projects. Its a great finishing touch and a great way to say thanks to clients.

Pedal Valve: A closer snapshot
I’m finally getting back to sharing the pedal valve install. This little piece of hardware allows hands free operation of the faucet. If you’re like me you getting tired of having to turn on and off and adjust temperature of the faucet. Pedal Valve lets you set the temperature at your faucet and use your foot when water flow is needed. I’ve had two separate installations and I now know why my clients love them so much. Simply convenient!
Check back with this post again. Ill update the where you can locate on the web and roughly the cost of the unit installed by a plumbing professional.
Georgian Reproduction – Richly detailed
The precedent for this new home was the Georgian Style Wentworth-Gardiner House in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. While the exterior is nearly an exact duplicate the interior is modified to accomodate modern day living. The details are well done and craftsmanship is impeccable. Ill post more photos of the interior soon.

Designing Green Roofs

Mod Sod: A green roof often involves complicated work, but this modular system streamlines the process. It consists of 2-foot-by-2-foot anodized aluminum modules containing drought-resistant sedum. Materials may be planted in up to 12 inches of engineered growing material and may weigh from 12 pounds to 51 pounds per square foot depending on the depth of soil.

Internal Turbine Faucets

Toto.
EcoPower sensor faucets power themselves: The units’ chrome fittings make their own electricity when the flow of water spins their internal turbine; a lithium battery is a backup for periods of infrequent use. The three residential-design-friendly units include the modern Axiom, the contemporary Helix, and the traditional Fordham (shown). Their flow rate is 32% lower than the federal mandate. 800.350.8686. www.totousa.com.
