House dust mite allergen exposure is a postulated risk factor for allergic sensitization, asthma development, and asthma morbidity; however, practical and effective methods to mitigate these allergens from low-income, urban home environments remain elusive. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of physical interventions to mitigate house dust mite allergens in this setting. Homes with high levels of house dust mite allergen (Der f 1 + Der p 1 [greater than or equal to] 10 [micro]g/g dust by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) in the bed, bedroom carpet, and/or upholstered furniture were enrolled in the study. Carpets and upholstered furniture were subjected to a single treatment of either dry steam cleaning plus vacuuming (carpet only) or intensive vacuuming alone. Bed interventions consisted of complete encasement of the mattress, box spring, and pillows plus either weekly professional or in-home laundering of nonencased bedding. Dust samples were ...

Anyone who's visited a mattress showroom knows the dizzying variety of options available: plush or firm, memory foam or innerspring, platform bed or box spring. Each store often car ries mattresses with different model numbers, so apple-to-apple comparisons can be all but impossible. And, when you tally up the final cost -- including delivery and setup, box spring and bed frame, accessories like a mattress cover and removal of an old mattress -- it can easily stretch into the thousands of dollars. It's more than enough to keep a budget-conscious consumer up at night.Several online startups and other retailers are working to change the way we shop for zzzz's.Casper.com, for instance, sells one type of mattress (starting at $500 for a twin) and offers free shipping to the U. S. and Canada, along with a 100-night trial. If you're unhappy with the mattress during those first 100 nights, Casper will pick up the mattress at your convenience and refund your money.

Wow, that's a really long title!A few years ago, I designed and built this headboard for my wife (fiance at the time) when we lived apart. It plugs into any 1 standard wall outlet, and includes 2 light switches for the overhead lights (3-way switches so either side would control them), and 4 regular outlets (2 on each side at the base) in order to accommodate anything we'd ever need to plug in on our side. I built it with the intent that no matter where we moved, no matter what room it went in, there would be outlets and lights for us - no more fighting pack over the 1 plug 10 feet away for our clocks and cell phone chargers! The original was made to fit a queen bed on one of those cheap metal frames with a box spring nestled in it. Fast forward - 2 big dogs, and 1 kid later (with another on the way), we've decided it's time to get a KING SIZE BED. I can't really reuse this headboard anymore, so I've decided to start from scratch and build another! This time ar...

And just like any other house, the shipping container homes have plans that divide up the container into various livable spaces. Each space will have to be separated by walls.
