“That’s not what we’re going to do here. What we’re talking about is lifestyle, and offering something a little bit special, a little bit different [...] We see our market advantage as acting in a completely different way, putting the consumer first.”

“I think they are becoming more popular,” Boeschenstein said. “As people experience outdoor showers at friends’ houses or vacation rentals, they are hooked and then want one at their own house. Isn’t an outdoor shower at the end of the day one of the best things about beach houses?”

The current National Weather Service forecast for the area has heavy rain and showers likely through at least Tuesday. Storm surge and tropical storm warnings remain in effect for the region until further notice.

This feature also works to set the temperature lower the further you are away from home. It does this by determining your distance to cell towers, nearby Wi-Fi networks and, occasionally, GPS.

Serviceability features: Serviceable parts are very accessible and readily available for when a dealer needs them. Onboard diagnostics assist service professionals in troubleshooting should a failure occur.

While modern wood stoves are designed to burn hotter and more efficiently, they don’t hold a candle to the efficiency of pellet-burning stoves. The pellets are denser than the wood they are made from and contain less water because of the compression process. Wood pellets have less than eight percent internal moisture. Regular cords of wood, even dried, hold between 20 and 30 percent internal moisture, meaning they can’t burn as hot as the dryer wood pellets.

After announcing it’d be adding HomeKit support for its C by GE smart lighting collection back in May of 2017, GE is finally making good on its promise (after two delays, that is). First reported by Rob LeFebvre over at Engaget, HomeKit compatibility will be added to the C-Reach hub for two C by GE bulbs: the white C-Life and the temperature-shifting C-Sleep. As the names suggest, C-Life bulbs are for general use, while C-Sleep bulbs adjust their warmth based on the time of day in order to help you wind down for sleep and wake up refreshed.

My houseful of smart radiator thermostats has given me a sense of comfort and convenience that I never imagined I’d achieve on first setting eyes on the rattling 10-year-old combi-boiler in my rented house.

After recently introducing a large series of new outdoor lighting products to coincide with summer (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), Philip Hue have also introduced new Hue White and Colour Outdoor lightstrips. These lightstrips come in 2 metre and 5 metre versions and are designed specifically for outdoor use, being ‘completely weatherproof’ according to the meethue website, which goes on to state "The LightStrip can withstand small puddles and water jets from any direction, so do not worry if rain is unexpectedly predicted." The strips, unlike their indoor counterparts, don’t have an adhesive backing, but rather use a series of provided clips and screws, to attach to a wall or fence.

The co-op board of 860 and 870 West 181st Street, a pair of brick prewar buildings in sight of the George Washington Bridge, didn’t wait for a mandated energy audit to upgrade its heating. The building had an energy evaluation and applied for state funds in 2012 through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to update the building, including an overhaul of the steam heating system.

Like Meaden, many Britons have embraced the cosy, hearth-and-home feeling of burning wood. The government has helped propagate the notion of wood as a renewable fuel that saves money and the environment alike – an image that stove manufacturers have happily seized upon for their marketing campaigns.
