Hot Water Death for Germs and Home Heating Options
An article extols hot water as a health safeguard during winter and spring, detailing how abundant hot water aids hygiene and combat disease. It surveys heating choices from kitchen stoves to steam or hot water systems, indirect heaters, and various gas-fired water heaters, comparing costs and efficiency.

Attached Garage Improves Box Like House Design
An effective method to soften a square house is to attach a garage on one side creating elongated lines from front to rear. A breezeway connects house and garage, can be glassed in winter for storage, and may hold a small oil heater to create extra living space. In summer removable screens offer outdoor living, while a rear garage with a porch softens the boxy silhouette.
