Jamie Howell 10/19/2016 12:54 PMTurning off my computers is harder than I thought it would be. But it does have the net positive effect of easing me into my day and keeping me from over-checking my emails. -
Jamie Howell 10/17/2016 9:28 AMMy house is crammed full of can lighting - something like 80 of them. So, every week or two when I go to Costco, I make a point to pick up a four-pack of LED floods and replacing incandescent bulbs with them when I get home. I nearly have the main floor finished now. It costs about $18 for the pack and it doesn't hurt like it would if I tried to buy 80 bulbs all at once. -
