A close friend of mine in Ohio sent me the following ‘out of the box” tips to ease your life at home. They were a first for me, and I hope that all of you find value in them for you! If it catches on, I may make this thread a regular feature on our http://ViewfromSandhausen.com/blog . Thanks Palmer!
