Indoor Maintenance Tips

• Check your air conditioning system. If your AC doesn’t work during the first hot day you try to use it, you’ll most likely have a very long and hot wait before a repair man can fix it. You’ll be cranky from it being so hot out and the repair man will likely be just as cranky if not more.
• Inspect or replace your HVAC filter monthly.
• The clothes dryer vent and stove hood should be regularly checked and cleaned.
• It’s likely that you have a coil-back refrigerator. Be sure to vacuum the coils at least twice each year. Clean coils help your refrigerator to run more efficiently.
• Use non-toxic soaps and cleaners to clean everything from top to bottom.

Don’t waste clean water

What is the first thing we usually do when we wake in morning? Go to the toilet and then bathroom of course. After ten minutes we have probably used 20 liters of water, probably much more if we are wasteful. Now, in Australia the are 22 million people so that amounts to about 440 million liters of water enough to fill about 180 Olympic sized swimming pools. All of that water flushed down the drain in just in the first ten minutes of the day.

Saving water is easy

So get into the habit of saving water. When you go to the toilet it is not always necessary to flush urine every time so just leave it there till the time comes when there is solid waste to flush. Old style toilet cisterns are very wasteful so rip it out and use a modern type with a low flow efficient flushing. When showering we use about 80 to 120 liters of water! There too, invest in a low flow shower head and save up to 80% on your water consumption, if possible save the grey water and divert it to the garden. Grey water from the shower is quite benign and will not harm the environment if used in the garden. Even grey water from the washing machine can be diverted to the garden if you don’t use washing powders with harmful chemicals. There are eco friendly detergents available that you can be used instead.

Close your eyes and step into your new room in the garden: nothing more than a glass and timber cube placed in the middle of nature. What you see inside is a mixture of interior and exterior rendered possible by large areas of glass that blur the line between indoors and outdoors. An almost unreal transparency like a passage between two worlds. Your world and the world of nature. Both miniaturized in the garden building (your world) and the garden (the world of nature).

The various stages of history saw man and nature either in opposition or in harmonious union. The contemporary alienating urban landscape made man look for a peaceful relationship with mother nature. Their reconciliation takes place in the garden studio.

Through their various functions, garden studios are a benefit for the entire family. If ascribed the function of office, then they relieve you from the stress of working in your kitchen or your living. And they exempt your family from the sight of your work process and render them the privacy of family life. If turned into a games room, it is a refuge for children whose noise is thus isolated, or your little pleasure dome.

Security for any person is one of the most important concerns today. Due to different types of security threats in entire world, people have invented various security systems for their protection against some specific dangers. People all over the world adopt different security measures to suit meet their security requirements. They use these measures at all possible places such as their offices, homes, shops, banks, cinema halls, malls and so on.

Most large offices in the world today have access control system to identify their employees from a large group of people. They use access cards as identity cards to allow only their employees top enter the premises. The use of access cards ensure that no outsiders is able to enter the official premises that may have some important data or other accessories that thieves may lay their hands on. The usage of access cards also keeps a check on the time that employees have spent within the premises. In many case, the access cards work as the attendance system also.
