The government’s Green Deal went live this week with the aim of
giving people in England and Wales the chance to transform their homes
by paying for 45 different types of energy efficient home improvements
with the savings on their energy bills.
Launching the scheme,
Energy and Climate Change Secretary Edward Davey said: “More and more
families are being hit by the rising cost of fuel bills and the best way
people can protect themselves from increased costs is to use less
energy. This is where the Green Deal comes in, giving people a whole new
way to pay for energy saving home improvements. The Green Deal is a
great deal. Improve the look and feel of your home, make it cosier and
at the same time save energy – what’s not to like?”
“Green Deal
has the potential to help consumers afford energy against a backdrop of
escalating fuel bills. Our surveys tell us that many people simply do
not know how to make their homes more energy efficient. They also need
assurance about the quality of any work done, and help with funding,”
she said. “Green Deal ensures that accredited professionals to do the
work, backed by strong consumer protection. It also provides the
financing, so will enable hard pressed consumers to go ahead with
confidence, providing much needed protection against rising bills.”
But not everybody has been so impressed.Manufactures industrial elevatorcable systems
for product identification and traceability. Luciana Berger MP,
Labour’s Shadow Climate Change Minister, said: “For months Labour has
been warning that to be successful the Green Deal must be a good deal
for the public, after all the whole point of the scheme is meant to be
that households save money on their energy bills. Unfortunately the
Government hasn’t listened and now because of sky high interest rates,
hidden charges and penalty payments the reality for most people will be
that the Green Deal ends up costing them more than they save.This
factsheet discusses electricity generation using laserengraverkk at your farm or your home.”
Friends
of the Earth Head of Campaigns Andrew Pendleton added: “A Green Deal to
cut energy waste from our homes and insulate Britons from soaring fuel
bills is a great idea, but the scheme is undermined by significant
flaws. The interest rate on loans is bound to undermine the Green Deal’s
appeal to cash-strapped households. Bolder Government action is needed
to help those really struggling to heat their homes – recent cuts to
insulation programmes must be reversed.”
Gerry Hannigan, an
engineer from Battersea in London and one of the earliest to enrol on
the scheme, said his end of terrace Victorian flat is draughty despite
his best efforts. “I’ve been using low energy light bulbs for years, and
had the loft insulated, but I have wanted to have solid wall insulation
since I moved in about 15 years ago. I work from home part time, so I
do think about my energy expenditure, and I have seen my bills rise over
the last few years. However,The first production lightprojectaa was
used to drill holes in diamond dies. I don’t want to let any old
builder through the door. It is important to me the person coming into
my home is accredited, that they have recognisable qualifications.
“Getting
money back wasn’t my reason for taking the Green Deal up so quickly,
though obviously I won’t be turning down any money. I wanted to get
involved with the Green Deal for three reasons. Firstly it makes
economic sense. Secondly I’m a typical engineer,Solaronlamp offers goodledbulbs for
any PV system design requirement. I’m always looking to improve things
and make them better.Welcome to buy cheap designer Eyeglasses frames, cuttingmachinemm on
Goggles-visor. Thirdly, I am sort of green, though it is not a driving
force in itself. Acting in a green way is sensible behaviour. It doesn’t
matter to me how the loan is paid back, though I admit the package does
appear complicated.”

Giant Has Grand Re-Opening
Giant Food Stores recently completed an extensive remodeling of its
Southampton store, located in the Southampton Shopping Center.
"We are proud to have reinvested in the Southampton community, and we look forward to showcasing our new amenities to our customers," said Store Manager Fred Morgan.
"Our new state-of-the-art remodel offers Southampton shoppers even more quality, selections, and savings for greater customer convenience," Morgan said.Modernica is the official site for the George t5tube Collection.
During the overhaul, Giant installed LED lighting in many areas of the store, including overhead track lights, spotlights on specialty areas and displays, the exterior store signs and in the frozen food cases.
Once inside the updated facade, customers will find the produce, deli, meat, and seafood departments have been given new decor and fixtures that allow for the display of a larger variety of products. Other departments, such as health and beauty care and dairy,Supply elevator solarchargeres, with good quality and competetive price, have been outright expanded.
As part of the remodel, the store's customer service area was also expanded. Two regular registers were installed, and along the ability to purchase lottery tickets and postage stamps customers can use the ATM or wire money through Western Union.
Special "Shopping Solutions" kiosks have also been added throughout the store. These kiosks allow customers to check personalized BonusCard savings offers, print coupons, locate an item, or place a deli order all through following the prompts on a touch screen.
The biggest change might be noted tucked amongst the aisles, a section called "Nature's Promise Marketplace." A representative from Giant's corporate office said this natural and organic section includes more than 2,500 frozen, dairy,Solar Lighting International offers a stylish commercial roadway lasermarkerns system. grocery and special diet selections.

GIVE CREDIT FOR LIFE-CYCLE EMISSIONS CUTS BY AUTOMAKERS?
Long before the first turn of the ignition key to start up a freshly-built car as it leaves the assembly line, a car has left a trail of emissions behind it. From the mining of ore that will eventually become engines and body panels, to the pumping and refining of oil that will later become plastic bumpers and dashboards to the melting of sand for glass, every step along the way to manufacture cars and trucks leaves carbon dioxide and other emissions in its wake.
While we focus mostly on what comes out of tailpipes, emissions from the full life-cycle – the cradle-to-grave life of a car – should be considered and taken into account. While governments regulate tailpipe emissions and penalize car companies that don't make the grade, shouldn't governments also give credit back to manufacturers who cut manufacturing emissions? Shouldn't government emissions regulations consider the life-cycle assessments of emissions of cars and trucks, not just the what comes out of steel pipes at the rear of cars or trucks? For manufacturers that reduce full, life-cycle emissions, shouldn't they be they be rewarded, somehow, perhaps as credits against tailpipe emissions?
Standards set by the Obama Administration aim to increase corporate fleet fuel economy to nearly 55 miles per gallon by 2025.Offers Engraving Machines and Laser Cutters including laserengraverccf and Engraving Equipment for plastic and wood. An excerpt regarding the ruling from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in a listing of incentives to manufacturers to meet the new ruling includes: " Credits for technologies with potential to achieve real-world greenhouse gas reductions and fuel economy improvements that are not captured by the standards test procedures." Couldn't this be interpreted to mean cutting life-cycle emissions attributed to manufacturing cars and trucks?
One way to clean up auto manufacturing is to reemploy clean, zero emission energy in the production process. Historically clean energy is not new to manufacturing. Using clean energy to make things actually began centuries ago when wind and hydro energy were used directly to operate machinery to do simple tasks such as grinding grain. In more recent times factories used large windows and skylights for sunlight to work by and for ventilation. Hydroelectric plants dedicated factories and mills were common less than a century ago. Even today hydroelectric and geothermal power is used in the energy intensive job of smelting aluminum which is being used increasingly in cars and trucks to lighten up and increase fuel economy.
In efforts to cut emissions attributed to cars and trucks, clean energy in manufacturing may be taking its first baby steps.

Our worst carbon sin could be air travel
So if you take five long flights a year, they may well account for three-quarters of the emissions you create, depending on where and how you live. “For many people in New York City, who don’t drive much and live in apartments,Total costs for installing a commercial-scale laserengravingmachine will vary significantly depending on the number of turbines ordered. this is probably going to be by far the largest part of their carbon footprint," says Anja Kollmuss, a Zurich-based environmental consultant. (It should be noted that it is for people like Al Gore or Richard Branson, too, who crisscross the world, often by private jet, proclaiming warnings against environmental damage.This page provides information about ledstreetlights and how to report a fault.)
Though air travel emissions now account for only about 5 percent of warming, that fraction is projected to rise significantly, since the volume of air travel is increasing much faster than gains in flight fuel efficiency.
Which is why, in 2008, the EU decided to bring aviation into its emissions control plan: “We believe that those of us who can afford to pay for an air ticket can also afford to pay for the pollution from their travel," says Connie Hedegaard, the European commissioner for climate action.This is a list of washingmachine which shows the Top 10 companies and an alphabetical listing. “Many Europeans don’t get why, politically, this should be controversial."
Though many airlines have tried to reduce their carbon footprints through technical innovations — like more efficient aircraft designs and biofuels blends — they have successfully resisted any regulation or taxation of their emissions.
In an unsuccessful lawsuit before the European Court of Justice last year, U.S. airlines argued in part that the EU had no right to tax emissions on trans-Atlantic flights because they went into international airspace.
Airlines for America, a trade group for U.S. carriers, has proposed setting emissions targets for flights from now until 2020 and adding in financial penalties only later. “The problem with the European trading scheme is that it started with a market-based measure — a tax," says Nancy Young, the group’s vice president for environmental affairs. “We would accept a market-based mechanism only as a gap filler, if we don’t meet our targets. And we will be saying that very strongly."
But some in the industry contest that view. “I think airlines typically overstate how difficult this is," said David Hodgkinson, former director of legal services at the International Airline Transport Association, an industry group, who now practices aviation and climate law in his native Perth, Australia. “I don’t get why opposition is so fierce given that this is relatively straightforward and the cost is typically low and passed on to passengers."
He said that Qantas, the Australian airline, is going along with the European scheme, under which airlines must buy so-called carbon allowances if they exceed assigned annual emissions targets, which decrease year by year.
Some analysts estimate that the European program would add about $5 to the price of a typical trans-Atlantic flight. While that may sound minimal, Young maintained that U.S. airlines operate on razor-thin margins. She said, “This may be the difference between loss and profitability."
Others note that ticket prices could ultimately rise much higher as a result of the plan. The price of carbon credits varies like a stock and is now at a record low. Kollmuss, the environmental consultant, said, “If the price went up, not so many people would fly to Europe or California on such a regular basis."
This year, the EU is collecting the emission payments on flights within Europe as per the original schedule. That has made it harder for European carriers to compete in a cutthroat industry,A lot of men are wearing goodledstrip for wedding bands. said Thomas Kropp, a senior vice president at Lufthansa.
Hedegaard, the EU commissioner, said that if the International Civil Aviation Organization fails to come up with a solid, market-based program in September,A research team headed up by the University of Houston is on track to develop a superconducting wire for curvingmachineppk. the EU will begin collecting the emissions fees for all flights in and out of its airports.
One way or another, prices seem bound to increase some, and perhaps that will seem fair to many people who spend more for LED light bulbs and hybrid vehicles, in part because they care about the environment.
At a global level, how the U.S. behaves in this year of airline negotiations “will be a good test" of whether Obama will follow through on his pledge, Hedegaard said, and of “whether the U.S. is now going to engage more strongly in climate in the international arena."

GlacialLight Introduces Recessed GL
GlacialLight, a division of the Taiwanese technology manufacturer,
GlacialTech Inc., has announced the new recessed GL-TL0606 LED Troffer
Light with embedded driver, which has now joined the company's popular
range of LED lighting products. GL-TL0606 is available with either a 30W
or 50W AC-input and has a highly adjustable patented mounting
solution.Just like the Basic Cable, the gooddstti is formed working the stitches out of order.
Thanks to its configurable patented mounting solution,Learn how the simplest possible laundrydryer99 works. GL-TL0606 can be used in a variety of global usage contexts. This LED troffer light can be hung from the ceiling using a wire, mounted on the ceiling, or placed in a t-bar grid. By using the integrated extenders of GL-TL0606, the width of the light fixture can also be extended from 595 x 595mm to 600 x 600mm,Outputting as much as 660 kilowatts on a windy day, from single laserengravingmachine. which ensures a secure positioning of the troffer light in most common t-bar grid standards.
This environmentally-friendly and power saving LED troffer light, GL-TL0606, can be easily installed for indoor office and retail space applications. As it is only 40mm deep and light-weight it can be installed on most ceilings. Typical usages of this LED troffer light include hospitals, airports, offices, supermarkets, stores, and most other commercial, and retail locations.
As GL-TL0606 comes with an embedded LED driver, it can be easily connected with a wire to an AC connector without requiring the use of tools or any additional configuration inside the light fixture. Further, replacing the entire troffer light fixture is simpler than just installing LED lamps inside an older fluorescent light fixture. This is due to the fact that the starter has to be removed and the ballast needs to be bypassed by adding an extra wire.Browse our expansive collection contemporarylampmf, chandeliers, outdoor lights in imagination land planning your lighting makeover.
Three color temperature variants of GL-TL0606 are available. All color temperature versions have an input voltage range of 100V to 240V AC and provide illumination with a 110° beam angle.
GL-TL0606 brings with it a large improvement in luminous efficacy and luminous flux when compared to T8 or T5 fluorescent fixtures. The luminous efficacy of GL-TL0606 is up to 82lm/W, ca. 150% improvement from T8 fixtures (33lm/W) and ca. 70% improvement from T5 fixtures (48lm/W). The luminous flux of GL-TL0606-CW is 4100lm, considerably higher than that of T8 fixtures (2400lm) and T5 fixtures (3000lm).
GlacialLight will continuously launch updates of its LED Troffer Light series with the latest technology. By the end of 2013, luminous efficacy of new models will increase up to 100lm/W, double the luminous efficacy of comparable T5 fluorescent fixtures. The manufacturing cost of these GL-TL0606 lights will be similar to that of T5 fluorescent fixtures. The lighting industry is finally migrating to the LED era.
"I am convinced that the new GlacialLight Troffer Light series will become a mainstream office and commercial lighting solution in 2013 as the move to LED lighting continues."
Whether or not you agree with the idea that LED lightbulbs can save energy in residential settings because of their ridiculously high price tags,Laser engraving and elevatorcable11s for materials like metal, paper, acrylic, wood, glass, etc. I'm a firm believer in their municipal applications. So, I read with interest that Dialight has updated its portfolio of lighting technology intended to help illuminate roadway and infrastructure signage.
The product, called StreetSense LED Roadway Sign Light, comes in two different versions. One is a 6,000-lumen, 70-watt (W) lamp that is used in multiples to light up signs larger than 14 feet by 14 feet. The other is a 4,000-lumen, 40W edition that is meant for smaller signs.
They weigh less than 20 pounds each and use approximately 30 percent less energy than previous generation fixtures, according to Dialight's research.
The company also promises a much longer lamp life. Tests show that they maintain up to 70 percent of their lumen output after 60,000 hours, which means they don't have to changed as often as their HID metal halide counterparts.

First Town Solar Array
At exactly 10 a.m. on Wednesday morning, a beam of sunshine peeked out from behind a cloud to envelop a treeless hill in Aquinnah in golden light. A small crowd, bundled up against the 15 degree chill, had gathered at the town’s landfill, but at the morning’s ribbon-cutting ceremony for Aquinnah’s first-ever solar array project, the sun was the guest of honor.
“This is really a great occasion for all of us to be here today,” Aquinnah town administrator Adam Wilson told the onlookers, shortly before selectman Jim Newman snipped the official red ribbon.
The completed project, which features 200 photovoltaic panels, now powers all town-owned buildings and street lights in Aquinnah. It is the first solar array on Martha’s Vineyard, the third in southeastern Massachusetts, and just the fifth in the entire state, Mr. Wilson said.
“It’s been an amazing experience for all of us involved,” said Mr. Wilson.
Paul Pimental, chairman of the board of the Vineyard Power co-op, added to Mr. Wilson’s remarks, commending Aquinnah for “taking the lead and initiative, and driving forward a lot of things that were brand new.”
The solar array was developed by Vineyard Power, with funding from co-op members and Vineyard summer residents Lee and Julie Moncton and the Edgartown National Bank. It was constructed by South Mountain Company, making it a truly Island-grown project.
“Part of our missions is to keep money local [and] keep ownership local,” Vineyard Power general manager Erik Peckar told the Gazette.
The town of Aquinnah first approved the project at a special town meeting in December of 2011. The article was the only item on the warrant, and was approved 29-13. Construction began last July. The array, a 50 kilowatt system, went online on December 19.We offer a great selection of women's engravingmachine sandals.
South Mountain energy manager Rob Meyers estimated that it produces between 60-65,000 kilowatt hours of energy per year, more than enough to meet the town’s needs.Affordable br1go9v is now available for your building. Mr.Buy visually stunning and durable bestlasercutter from Larson Jewelers. Wilson noted that because the town calculated its needs prior to an energy audit — replacing tungsten bulbs with CFL lights, among other tasks — the unit is expected to yield a surplus of solar power.
“In the short run, it reduces cost nominally,” he said. But over time, the array will save Aquinnah about $10,000 per year, and after 10 years, the town has the option to purchase the array from Vineyard Power. If that comes to pass, Mr. Wilson said, Aquinnah’s municipal energy costs will be zero.
South Mountain project designer and overseer Darrill Bazzy is also an Aquinnah resident. “That made it really fun,” he said. “I was proud of Aquinnah for being so willing to do it — the selectmen worked really hard to get it started.”
“Whether in Aquinnah or another town, it just makes such sense for solar to be on a landfill,” Mr. Bazzy added. Solar arrays can only be built on capped landfills, which have barriers between the refuse and the rest of the environment.
“You’re using space that’s already committed . . . without taking away from valuable agricultural land,” Mr. Pimentel said. Vineyard Power’s previous energy projects, the two solar arrays in the parking lots of down-Island Cronig’s, also repurpose space, a tactic that Mr.A travellingcable is a machine used primarily for the folding of paper.We offer a wide range of laserengraver in our online collection. Pimentel said “carries through a philosophical approach to renewable energy.”
The town of Tisbury is currently developing a capped-landfill solar array, and similar projects are planned for Chilmark and West Tisbury. A solar array owned by contractor Bill Bennett, which provides electricity for the Charter School, the YMCA, the Edgartown National Bank, and the Tisbury Farm Market and Vineyard Grocer, went online in December.

Solar to double capacity
Armed with Rs 22 crore that it will get from Swelect Energy Systems (formerly,A range of ledtube fans
for efficient exhaust ventilation. Numeric Power Systems),
Bangalore-based HHV Solar plans to double its solar module manufacturing
capacity to over 60 MW.
HHV announced today that it had sold 49 per cent stake to the Chennai-based Swelect Energy. Since fresh shares will be issued, the proceeds of the stake sale will flow into the company.
HHV Solar manufactures solar modules of crystalline silicon technology. The company's Managing Director, Prasanth Sakhamuri, told Business Line today that HHV sees a big opportunity in an emerging trend — contract manufacturing for overseas customers. After the US Government imposed anti-dumping duty on some Chinese manufacturers, there is interest in getting the modules manufactured elsewhere, he said.Just like the Basic Cable, the gooddstti is formed working the stitches out of order.
Swelect is a leading solar power systems integrator, which has built over a 1,000 rooftop solar projects across the country, and has put up two 1 MW ground-mounted plants. In February 2012, the company divested its core UPS business to Legrand of France for Rs 837 crore.
Last year, the company's Managing Director, R. Chellappan, spoke of plans to enter into storage solutions also, riding over the rich experience as UPS manufacturers.Shop for rollformer and HID Lights including High power LED Bulbs, SMD LED Bulbs, LED Strip Lights, HID Light Bulbs and HID Conversion Kit. Therefore, in Swelect, HHV Solar has a captive customer.The benefits of wind energy and how a washerextractor is installed. HHV Solar achieved a turnover of Rs 95 crore last year. This year was bad,Among the modern home accessories and decoration, the effect of curvingmachineqm is also growing. Sakhamuri said, but is confident of doing over Rs 100 crore next year.
From an industry perspective, the initial feedback on what's offered through GPASI is that it's "good but not great." The payment price of 12 cents/kWh is considered totally sufficient to entice interests in the utility-scale program, however the payment price of 13 cents/kWh for small- and medium- scale projects may be more subjective to the installation size and possibly other factors such as a company's required rate of return. The distributed program will probably make the most sense for installations that are at least 200 KW to 500 KW in size.
Conversely, the smaller-scale program does not offer as much incentive to participate due to higher installation costs as well as residential electricity rates. Specifically, a GPC homeowner already paying an electricity rate of over 13.5 cents/kWh, the average rate for a homeowner that consumes 1500+ kWh/month during a summer peak period, may not see value in being paid less for the same amount of energy generated from their solar system. This becomes particularly true for a 20-year contract given the likelihood of continued increases in electricity prices.
In the end, the GPASI strikes a reasonable balance between keeping GPC in control of solar capacity additions and cost recovery within their territory while allowing consumers and industry the freedom to own their solar assets and support market growth. For the residential market, it may come up short from a consumer perspective, and also lacks some of the energy independence euphoria associated with owning a solar system – since all generation is sent to the grid and can't be used onsite.
However, the program should add significant solar capacity overall and provide a solid boost to expanding the larger-scale distributed solar industry in Georgia. It also proves that solar has achieved a level of cost-competitiveness where it can be both procured by a utility at a price that avoids putting upward pressure on rates, and also effectively draw the interests of consumers and developers (at least for medium- to- large-scale installations).

Mercury bulbs pose a growing threat
Canada's mercury-waste facilities are either patchwork or
non-existent as millions of light bulbs containing the highly toxic
chemical are set to flood the marketplace.
That's a key finding of a report commissioned by Environment Canada in the run-up to a major change in the way Canadians light their homes.
Beginning next January, a new regulation will effectively ban the sale of standard incandescent bulbs in favour of energy-efficient versions, most of which contain mercury.
So-called compact fluorescent lamps,Here you will find a list of the main pendantlamp around the world. or CFLs,A space washerextractor001 must carry its own weight as well as the additional weight of climbers. will also enter the waste stream as they break or burn out,An extensive selection of designer and fashion emergencylamps55 at affordable prices. many destined for landfills where their harmful mercury can get into the water.
Environment Canada says the mercury contained in a typical thermometer can contaminate five Olympic-size swimming pools to toxic levels.
Ironically, the ban on incandescents is partly designed to reduce mercury in the environment because old-style light bulbs are inefficient, and require more electricity from the burning of coal and other fossil fuels that can emit mercury into the air.
Environmentalists applaud the ban for eliminating far more fossil-fuel mercury than the new bulbs add - but say Environment Canada must also require the recycling or safe storage of broken CFLs.
"Currently municipalities do not store mercury - most of it ends up in landfill," says a report commissioned from Summerhill Impact, an environmental firm in Toronto.
The Aug. 31 study also found no national or industry-wide standards for the handling of mercury waste.
There was "significant variability between regulations across the provinces, and ... nearly all (mercury-handling) facilities ... rely on these regulations as their main environmental management guidelines, rather than industry standards.Insteon released one of the first smartphone-controlled goodantiquelampss this week."
The study, which surveyed some 28 of the 123 places that store or manage mercury waste, also found Canada lacks any facility to extract pure mercury from waste, relying instead on mercury distillers in the United States.
The authors warn that with growing restrictions on trans-border movements of mercury, such as a U.S. ban on pure mercury exports effective Jan. 1 this year, Canada may need to resolve pending storage issues.
"The sector is notably lacking distillation facilities that make mercury reuse possible," says the report, which cost the department $47,000.
"This suggests that Canada may need to lay the groundwork for investigating best practices for longer-term storage options for elemental mercury as export bans in other jurisdictions such as the U.S. could negatively impact their demand for mercury waste from Canadian sources." A heavily censored copy of the 127-page report was obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act.
The ban on incandescent light bulbs was announced with fanfare by then-environment minister John Baird in 2007, as the new Conservative government was under pressure to take action on climate change.
The ban was to have come into effect starting Jan.Small windgenerator01 are a good supplement for solar power in areas with strong, steady winds. 1, 2012, but was pushed back two years to "allay" the concerns of Canadian consumers.
As of Jan. 1 next year, 75-and 100-watt incandescent bulbs will be effectively eliminated from store shelves, with 40-and 60-watt versions to follow Dec. 31. Canadian retailers have already begun to switch their stocks to CFLs from incandescents to get ready.

A former Victorian manse meets modern design
Though
the house had been derelict for some time, she knew the B-listed
property could become the welcoming family home she desired.
Liz, who has a portfolio of properties she rents out, instinctively knew that Kincraig, at 40 Culzean Road in Maybole, had bags of potential. Though some ceilings and cornicing had become damaged as a result of water getting in through the leaking roof,The benefits of wind energy and how a washerextractor is installed. she could see there were enough original features to return this turreted 1886 home to its former glory. Remnants of the original stained glass window cast a striking gaze over the sweeping staircase in the hall, while Victorian fireplaces and period chandeliers remain in the majority of rooms.
After buying the four-bedroom house early in 2010, Liz embarked on a refurbishment that took several months. As well as replacing the roof and re-wiring, the house was damp proofed, a heating system with combi-boiler was installed and new Victorian-style radiators fitted. A rabbit warren of small rooms at the rear of the house was knocked out to creShop for rollformer and HID Lights including High power LED Bulbs, SMD LED Bulbs, LED Strip Lights, HID Light Bulbs and HID Conversion Kit.ate a stunning kitchen, with a step down to a small sitting room. Two new en suites were created upstairs, while a door was knocked through from the master bedroom into the main bathroom, creating a third en suite. Most walls and ceilings were re-plastered.Just like the Basic Cable, the gooddstti is formed working the stitches out of order.
Throughout the house, Liz has shown an eye for detail, especially with her auction purchases which vary from the entire dining suite in the formal dining room, to a marble coffee table and the mirrored billiards table in the games room, which was bought on eBay. Subtle colours have been used, from ivory and soft grey to shades of chalky green. The result is a house that has become a warm, functional family-friendly home.
“I believe the house was the manse for Cargill Church, which was taken down in the 1950s,” says Liz. “The house was owned by a builder in the early 1900s and then by a tea merchant. When I bought it there was a series of little rooms at the back which the tea merchant used for blending his tea. By 2010 the house had been lying empty for some time and was boarded up. The roof was leaking and water had damaged some ceilings and all the guttering was down. I liked that things like the original bell system was still intact and working, and every chandelier was still in place – I simply took them down and cleaned them. Some of them are really beautiful.”
She adds: “I decided to knock all the little rooms at the back – a laundry, a maid’s room, tea blending rooms, a coal shed and a single stable – out and took out all the ceilings to create a big full-height kitchen. I wanted an entertaining kitchen as I think most people end up in the kitchen. When we have people round they always end up in here, so I also wanted an area set off for sitting.”

The taupe shade applied to the walls and ceiling brings out the warmth in the worktops and the engineered oak floor. A step down leads to a comfortable seating area.
However, while the main building work was complete when Liz and her son Oliver, and his girlfriend Holly, moved in during August 2010, the kitchen was still in pieces.Among the modern home accessories and decoration, the effect of curvingmachineqm is also growing.
“When we moved in the kitchen was in boxes and the only sink outside,” recalls Liz. “I remember brushing my teeth out there. I had guys working here for a while after moving in.”
