Environment With Light Creates Private Energy Saving Home Lighting
Ralph Bisdale of New York promotes “environment with light” to save energy and improve room ambiance. He argues editors and salespeople skew lighting advice while new apartments often lack adequate outlets and proper lighting plans. He outlines a three circuit lighting scheme for living rooms: general illumination, art/object lighting, and reading light, plus decorative floor and wall accents to achieve a warm, safe, and sensual effect. He stresses treating lighting like painting, using colored filters and varied pinks to widen the spectrum and enhance mood.

Home building tips for gypsum wallboard seams and dust control
In finishing joints use ready mixed joint compounds and tape. Apply three coats with sanding between each dry cycle. For concrete dusting reduce dust by painting the surface or soaking with a water glass mix of one part water-glass to four parts water to seal the surface.
