When I first saw this faucet I was instantly drawn to it. The picture shows perfectly the unique design. Not only is this a single handle faucet (I love the single handle) but also the water runs down the faucet like a waterfall.
Kohler, on their website, says, “Drawing inspiration from Japanese silk-screened fabrics, Silkweave crafts an intricate geometric pattern with a delicate contrast of Tea Greenâ„¢, blue and White, highlighted with fine platinum threads.”
Definitely an intricate geometric pattern, and a truly remarkable faucet!

This is just a simple courtesy reminder that you need to replace your smoke detector batteries on a regular interval.
I change mine twice a year. I replace them the first time I have to turn the air conditioner on for the first time, then again when I have to turn the heater on for the first time.
You might want to use a calendar to remind you…New Years and the beginning of summer. Whatever helps you remember, but don’t forget!
Most smoke detectors use 9-volt batteries, so make sure you have a few on hand.

Tankless water heaters are a new type of water heater for your home. Instead of having an upright water heater that heats water and holds warm water, tankless water heaters heat the water when you need it, instead of heating it all the time.
Tankless water heaters are great because heating water costs money. If you have to heat your water less, you will pay less in energy. The other benefit of tankless water heaters is that while you are showering, doing laundry and doing dishes, you won’t run out of hot water.
Inside the lines of a tankless water heater, the water is heated, not by a flame in a large vat of water. This means you can have hot water quick than you could with just a normal hot water heater.
Next time you are looking to replace you standard hot water heater, take a look at tankless water heaters!
