I woke up feeling somewhat energetic (I’ve been exhausted through the first 16 weeks of this pregnancy), so I skipped my morning shower and put on my ugly Ghostbusters Video Game t-shirt. You know what that means…
It’s time to start painting the trim. First up: finishing the kitchen.

Using a smart phone like the iPhone — which offer various applications, or “apps” — has been growing quickly in popularity in recent years.

Have you ever priced solar power equipment for home use? I have and let me tell you, it is expensive. Solar power can cost $50,000 or more for the average home.
