  The Life and Times of a Renaissance Ronin — Authority: 124
  It might be – if you’re a Realtor… right about now. It’s me again… That “Corten Crusader on a Metal Mitzvah…” clad in several mils of oxidizing steel, seemingly “courting disaster… while courting your conscience.” Try saying THAT three times fast… It’s harder than trying to choke ...

  The Life and Times of a Renaissance Ronin — Authority: 124

I like CFL’s (Compact Fluorescent light bulbs). Why? Well,  because I don’t have to change them as often, and ...

• Hometta Delivers Good Designs For Smaller Homes Off the Rack

  
  TreeHugger — Authority: 727
  Food and Water House by Studio Terpeluk One of the reasons TreeHugger has loved prefab so much is that by doing things more than once, an architect gets to work out the bugs and get it right.
