Give Yourself a Lasting Holiday Present: Get that Kitchen Organized
 A kitchen can be a wonderful place to work but, at times, it can also be a bit of a nightmare. Trying to juggle stacks of skillets or dig around for potholders when something is already burning is no fun, but it happens, at least occasionally, to anyone who uses a kitchen. Fortunately, there is hope for lasting and substantial organization to be brought into a kitchen. This hope comes primarily in the form of kitchen cabinet organizers.
Kitchen cabinet organizers are pieces of hardware that can be installed in a cabinet or cupboard to make it easier to get things in and out of storage. The organizer often takes the form of a pull-out shelf or rack, which is mounted to a rail in the bottom of the cabinet, so that items in the cabinet can be set or hung side by side, rather than stacked. In this way, it becomes possible for you to pull out a pan that's all the way in the back of the cabinet, and rarely used, without having to move all the other pots and pans in the cabinet.
One great thing about kitchen cabinet organizers is that they can be installed in the existing cabinets in your kitchen. The installation can be completed quickly and easily, and your kitchen cabinets can go from a frustrating mess to an easy to use, well-organized storage system at surprisingly little cost to you. This new level of organization can be particularly helpful as the holidays approach – it will be much easier, and much more fun, to entertain friends and family this holiday season if all your pots, pans, platters and plates are in easy reach, even if you haven't used some of them since the last holiday season.

Q: Hello, I was wondering if there is anything I can do to shorten the time it takes for hot water to come out of my sink. When I am working in the kitchen, I find that I am spending too much time waiting for the water to heat up. Is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks, Debbie Q.
A: Debbie, There certainly is a solution. You can have a recirculating pump installed. Basically, a recirculating pump is a device that sits between your hot water heater and your sink, and keeps warm water close to the tap and sends cold water back to be re-heated. This nifty device also saves fresh water, since it keeps you from having to run the faucet needlessly, so owning one can give you Federal tax credit for being environmentally savvy.

Insulate Your Attic to Save
on Heat this Year
 Winter's here, or at least well on its way, and there's one part of the house that's often overlooked when people are getting their homes ready for winter: the attic. Heat rises, of course, and for this reason having a good bit of insulation in the attic of your home can save your furnace a lot of work, and you a lot of money, during the winter months. Also, particularly in older buildings, this measure will help keep upstairs bedrooms warm at night.
It's true that a lot of recently built or remodeled houses already have insulated attics, but living in one of these homes doesn't mean you're off the hook. The insulation that was sprayed into your attic could be a variety of different materials, some of which work better than others, and over time, the insulation in your attic can settle, and begin to lose its insulating properties. Also, many newer materials provide a great deal of flame resistance, which is something many of the older insulating materials did not do. This all means that even if you have insulation in your attic, it might be time for an upgrade, and that this upgrade could save you a lot of money on your energy bill, and can make your house more resistant to house fires. In the long run, it's greener, cheaper, and safer to have the insulation in your attic done or redone sooner rather than later.
Another point to consider is that although fuel and energy prices are relatively low, compared to the huge spike we saw in recent years, the prices won't always be this low, and you can bet that as the cost of heating a home goes up, the cost of upgrading a home's insulation will also go up. The smart thing would be to insulate your attic now, while it's cheap, and in time to start saving money on your heating bill this winter.
