Great White: Rare worm vs. farmers
The endangered species battle enters a new front. by Leah Sottile Jodi Johnson-Maynard will tell you this is not a quest. It's not her personal mission or a scientific crusade. She's reluctant to call it much of anything, in fact. Her search for the giant Palouse earthworm is one she conducts with calculated scientific professionalism: She refuses to take sides, she will only comment on facts ...

Landscape lighting? Does anyone know of a company that can help with lighting design?
I understand the wiring and voltage drop etc... I need help with the lighting design. I want to light up the front of my home (stone face)(wall wash & columns) and do some up lighting and down lighting on trees (moon lighting effect) (wooded lot -nice mature trees). I've seen some really nice lighting in my area and understand the concepts but need help in knowing what kind of fixtures and bulbs - also placement.
Any suggestion on a good company? Minnesota - Twin Cities
ELS (Executive Lighting Solutions) They helped me out. It's great you can send them photos and they can even draw right on them to let you know where to put the fixtures. I was impressed with their knowledge on how to light different areas. I had gone through a couple of different landscape contractor but they didn't seem to know much about the different techniques, they just wanted to sell me fixtures.
Good luck. (I think they are up in your neck of the woods)
Whether you are building a new porch or renovating an existing one, there are specific things you can do to ensure safety, security and curb appeal at the same time. From the walkway leading to the porch to your porch amenities, you have several options to extend your enjoyment and comfort. No matter your age or physical abilities, everyone benefits from some simple improvements.
Here are some tips for you:
Walkways
Walkways need to be clear of obstructions, but also check to make sure they have a level surface. Uneven pavement, stones, bricks, concrete, or other materials can cause you or a visitor to trip and fall. Keeping your walkways in good repair not only adds curb appeal but also makes good economic sense as well.
If feasible, add lighting along the path. You can opt for either low voltage or solar lights. The light should be sufficient to actually light the pathway, not just be decorative to your landscaping. Solar powered lights power on and off automatically depending on the level of light. Low voltage lights usually run on a timer so you can adjust them as daylight hours shorten or lengthen.
Steps
Since most accidents happen at home and falls top the list, especially for seniors, be sure that your steps are safe. Installing hand railings should be a top priority. Many small porches have only a few steps and in many locations railings are not required. Check your local building codes. However, regardless of code requirements, I encourage you to add railings if you don't have them. Railings can be very decorative and add to your home's curb appeal.
Porch
Not only do many porch steps not have railings, but many porches do not either. Your local building codes may not require them but in addition to adding immense curb appeal they also protect your family and visitors. There are a multitude of styles and materials available to maximize your home's curb appeal and satisfy safety requirements.
If installed, the balusters (the vertical posts) must not exceed four inch spacing between them. Railings (also called balustrades) must extend at least 30 inches from the floor. For safety avoid installing balusters horizontally. This will only encourage small children to use them as a ladder.
Lighting
Want to brighten your porch? Updating your lighting fixtures is a great way to spruce up your porch and give it an up-to-date look. When choosing a single fixture (for over your front door) select one with dual bulbs. That way if one burns out you'll still have light. Better yet, two lights, one on either side of your door look great and provide even more light. You may also want to consider adding motion sensors to the lights. This is great for security reasons and ensures you'll have lighting when you leave at noon and return after dark.
For curb appeal, while you are changing the lighting, think about changing the door hardware to match the lights. Don't forget the doorbell; most really need to be replaced and it's an easy do it yourself project!
Package Shelf
Ever try to open a locked door and you are holding packages? Adding a simple shelf beside the front door can help everyone in the family. Or, consider placing a small shelf unit beside the door. This especially helps seniors but is handy for Moms, Dads and everyone.
These are just a few of things you can do to make your porch safe and simultaneously add lots of curb appeal and value to your home. Making your porch, steps, and walkways safe is just good common sense and in the end, makes your porch much more enjoyable.
