Sentricon Subterranean Termite Pest System

Sentricon Subterranean Termite Pest System

Last year when they were building we saw these green plugs in the ground that looked like maybe a pop-up sprinkler system. They are labeled Sentricon, so I googled it. Sentricon is a subterranean termite pest system made by Dow. These green things are in-ground

Swing Arm Lamps – DIY In the Wall Pin-up Kits

We finally got the swing arm lamps next to the bed. Here’s how Cliff installed them. We had to wait to put up the swing arm lamps, because we had to know exactly where the bed was going to be. We had to select and

We are still figuring out where everything goes, but I’ve been asked a few questions about the kitchen. This is what it looks like as you walk in from the front door. The island sure turned out big. I can’t reach the middle from anywhere
