Spotting water damage before it's too late
Water is one of those seemingly innocent things around the house that gets underestimated in its potential to do damage. A trap that's not tight, a toilet seal that's lost its grip, a water line with a tiny drip - it's not much water and it's hard to see or hear, but every day it continues it has the potential to wear away structural members, cause mold growth and create a number of problems for you and your home. For the most part, though, water leaks leave their warning signs, so you need to be aware if your home is using any of the following visual clues to try and warn you.

CFLs today
General Electric introduced the first compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) to the market in 1992. In that same year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the ENERGY STAR label as a “voluntary labeling program designed to identify and promote energy-efficient products to reduce green house gas emissions.” CFLs were one of these newly regulated products. The energy-saving bulb wouldn’t find popularity, however, until the new millennium when mainstream America became more conscious of energy conservation and the environment. Today, the CFL is still growing in popularity; consumers like that it saves energy -- and money. According to the EPA, in 2007, Americans saved $1.5 billion by switching to ENERGY STAR-qualified CFLs. The CFL light bulb has also improved greatly in the past 30 years with more lighting choices, regulation of its mercury output, and easier disposal.

Micro-hoods solve the problem of how to locate the microwave in a place that’s both convenient and out of the way by mounting it up at a good workable height over the range, in the location where the exhaust hood is normally located.
