National lumber grading system starts in March
The United States moves to a national voluntary standard for softwood lumber labeled as Voluntary Product Standard 2070. The March 1 rollout replaces the old system, with uniform grades and sizes to aid consumers and builders. Savings to home builders could reach 150 dollars per house, plus efficiency gains from slimmer framing lumber and better labeling, while changeover will be gradual based on local supply.

Imagination Camouflages Odd Window
A little imagination can camouflage an odd shaped or poorly placed window and fuse it into an architectural asset. Framing with shelving adds storage space for books and accessories and improves appearance. Try a window shade instead of draperies, with ready made screen printed options and laminate shade fabric for style. Width of shelving depends on window placement and room features. Shelving can be narrow or extend to ceiling and sides using western lumber species for easy work.
Built-Ins Fit Around Basin
Built-Ins Fit Around Basin Dripdry invented by the man who stepped out of his shower and reached for the towel that wasn’t there. He likely designed the first bathroom with towel medicines and cleaning storage. Even small baths hold space for built-ins as room dividers with upper medicine cabinet and locked storage. Under counter cabinets hold supplies and a clothes hamper with roll out options. Use western lumber and a polyurethane finish for scrubability and appeal. Venting in cabinets under sinks ensures air circulation.
Water conditioning gains pace in American homes
Water conditioning equipment becomes common as over 83 percent of US water is hard enough to require treatment and use of connected devices rises over 60 percent in a decade. New automatic softeners remove minerals before entering piping, with easy installation and minimal maintenance. A 30 cent booklet, Quality Water at the Tap, is available from the Water Conditioning Foundation.
