antiqueI love watching the show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and one of my favorite episodes was that of the house built for a deaf couple who had two kids, the youngest of which was blind and autistic. Each bedroom definitely catered to their extra-special needs, employing technology and child care expert to make the house safe and comfy for everyone.

The host’s secret project was to create tool sheds for the dad, who works as a mechanic. The shed was filled with everything a mechanic and budding carpenter would need: drills, nuts and bolts, antique hand saws, everything. The father was overwhelmed, since he said it’s been a long time since someone did something special for him. When their eldest boy saw his dad’s tears, he knew he said thank you from his heart.

electricalEven if you’re well-versed in the ways of DIY electrical maintenance, it’s a good idea to protect your electrical equipment from sudden power surges. A surge suppressor absorbs powerful electrical surges that come from the main line. Sensitive electric equipment and appliances like computers and other communication devices are best maintained with a surge suppressor when plugged in for use or charging. Adaptors and transformers may not have the capacity to suppress electric surges to protect your devices.

A surge suppressor can absorb 2,518 Jules of energy. A good quality surge suppressor features the protection of at least eight outlets. Outlets that are wide apart can accommodate large sockets. They also offer gold-plated coaxial cables for an excellent contacts and connections.
