Heat and radiator placement guidance for space heating
Radiators should be located where they do the most good and disturb the furniture least. Heat losses are greatest near windows, so place radiators in that area. Do not break up wall space with radiators whenever possible to avoid unnecessary disruption.

Automatic Lights Made For Closets
A closet light may be controlled by a pull chain or wall switch with cautions about leaving it on. An outside door switch with a red pilot light signals when the light is on. A door switch that auto activates on opening and deactivates on closing is satisfactory if doors are kept closed. A newer design turns the light off after a set time.
Chimney Colors Vary By House Exterior Advice
White chimneys on gray houses or buff chimneys on green surfaces offer more contrast than red. If you want a different shade, the painter should apply three coats of exterior house paint for lasting color.
