Bath Shower Home Design

Using a public water supply for drinking or bathing, is a decision that each and every one of us have to make every day based on trust, science and other factors.  The trust issue is critical and cannot be underestimated. After what occurred in Flint from 2014 to the present day, if residents decide to never use tap water again for cooking, bathing or showering, who could blame them? Or for that matter, who could blame those making a similar decision after having witnessed (or hearing about) the Flint water crisis ? We have met with residents of Washington D.C. who decades after being misled about water safety by CDC, EPA and the local utility DC WASA , will never drink unfiltered tap water again. That strikes us as a perfectly reasonable and rational decision based on life experience.  We would never try to “change your mind” on the issue of trust one way or another.  We are very upset that certain agencies responsible for water safety in this country, have proven themselves untrus...

Eating By early evening , the bar at the Thorn usually has a sprinkling of local residents who come for a chat over a glass of prosecco and a plate of oysters (native and Pacific) on the half-shell. We didn’t hesitate to join them and felt rather sophisticated, especially when Sherri came behind the bar and reminisced about her days catering on film sets in L.A. From movies to Mistley… The restaurant is open for lunch, afternoon tea and dinner; special dining events are often held, too. Emphasis is on locally sourced ingredients and fresh seafood . Our starter of griddled diver scallops with pea puree mint and lemon was spot-on. The Adnams beer battered local fish main was delicious. Non-briney types and vegetarians are not overlooked, and when it comes to the puddings, words cannot describe Sherri’s yummy key lime cake . On Thursdays, the 'Moules Madness' menu is particularly good fun: choose from marinière, Thai-style or mussels in cioppino. At breakfast, cereals and ...

In its five-starred four stories, there are 216 rooms and suites, restaurants and bars, a kindergarten and a games room. The two-floor 5,500-square-meter spa, opened in 1992, is a state-of-the-art health, fitness and beauty center, part white-walled clinic, part sports complex , part pleasure palace . Use of the fitness and gymnastics rooms costs $14. (Local residents can join for $1,643 a year.) Guests create their own wellness programs. Some options: Clarins bust treatment , anti- aging facial care for both men and women, podiatry service, indoor tennis and putting green and driving range, the cuisine minceur diet , bio-sauna with light therapy, utter quiet in the relaxation room. The indoor pool, kept at about 82 degrees, is a Roman vision of hedonism with blue pillars, fulminating whirlpools, a waterfall and view of the rocky, tree-covered Harder. Doing laps here is not a chore. Interlaken itself -- a town of 15,000 ''between the two lakes'' on the Bodeli plain -- ...

Artist's impression of retrofitted house NOTTINGHAM, England - Aug. 24, 2017 - PRLog -- Ten homes in Nottingham have been selected as part of a UK pilot to radically improve older houses using measure to save and generate energy .

It's almost bedtime. John Baird Jr., 47, smokes on the hood of his 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis sedan , his plaid sleeping bag neatly tucked in the trunk. Kathleen McDermott , 81, slouches in the driver's seat of her 2002 Ford Focus station wagon . Two angel statuettes stare from her dashboard into clothes and clutter behind her. Scott Downey, 52, works a crossword puzzle on his phone inside a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country van that smells faintly like cats. Clothes hang on hooks in the back, and emergency supplies of ramen noodles and Vienna sausages sit out of plain view. Advertisement They are in a Home Depot parking lot , largely invisible among the subdivisions and sprawl of Northern Virginia's Fairfax County , the nation's second-wealthiest community. Sleeping in their cars, they are homeless but sort of not, a subset of a population officially classified as "unsheltered" and slowly shrinking in these suburbs of Washington, even as the nu...

Natives know where to go for a real San Francisco experience : the city's neighborhoods. What better way to make family and friends comfortable than to have them stay close by in one of Noe Valley's guesthouses. While many local guesthouses and bed-and-breakfasts have been hit by the current economic slump --and by the competition from a drop in downtown hotel prices --the good news is guests no longer have to book six months in advance and can sometimes negotiate a lower room rate . Still, most guesthouses report business is steady, at least on the weekends. In Noe Valley we are fortunate to have a mix of lodgings that serve a wide range of needs. You can find a cottage with handicapped access for grandparents, several places that welcome children, or a quiet room in a house, for a friend. In this survey, which updates our B&B roundups in the June 1997 and May 1999 issues, the Voice uncovered a variety of hospitality styles: a European- style tourist home , a fully furn...
