This Belizean beach house is not your typical tropical home. It does not have plush amenities or running water. It does not have traditional electricity. It is a zero-energy home that was made with the priority of energy-consciousness. It features 6 garage doors off of the living space on both levels of the home. Each garage door will have […]
Outdoor kitchens are one of the best ways to live outside and celebrate summer. Whether its Friday evenings with friends or holidays spent by the grill, there aren’t too many people looking for excuses to be outside. And cooking outdoors is no exception. Who doesn’t like a kitchen near the gazebo or pool? It just makes summertime that much more […]
From the white-sand beaches of Florida to the snow-capped forests of Michigan’s upper Peninsula; From the golden-wheat and corn-tasseled fields of the central plains to the majestic purple mountains of the west; From the sun-drenched dry heat of the southwest to the cloud-covered and rain-nurtured pacific northwest; From the skyline and traffic of Los Angeles to the 100-mile wilderness of […]
This month we had a celebration. It was a celebration of outdoor living products, specifically our retractable outdoor living products! This year marked 10 years of business for us, our first year in a new facility, and the most employees we’ve ever had. Oh, yeah, we also brought on a new product line, Newline (no pun intended!).
Our retractable friends that happen to share the same facility, Libart, totally revamped their virtual stomping grounds. This renovation just happened and was created to give retractable architecture enthusiasts a better place to explore this new world of moving architecture.
I met a 2014 Torque fifth wheel toy hauler by Heartland. He was large, tan, loaded, and accommodating. How did I meet him? It was gracing the stock of RV’s raring to leave the lot in 2014 at the local RV dealership. The RV has three slide outs, giving this toy hauler…
It doesn’t appear to be much and blends in with its surroundings. In many photos, you can’t even tell it’s there. Inconspicuous to us, but not to bugs and the daunting July sun. I am talking about our patio shade, also known as a patio screen, called the PanoramaLite™…
Stoett Industries, Inc. of Northwest Ohio just celebrated their 10 year anniversary of officially being in business. To congratulate their service to the Defiance area, the Defiance Chamber of Commerce, awarded them the 10 year service award (see image). To better understand the past decade of Stoett’s history, let me give some background on the company…
Deb’s favorite place to relax and unwind from a stressful day is her back patio. For her, a homeowner in Northwestern Ohio, the patio is supposed to be a relaxing area to escape, enjoy the fresh air and evening sunsets, and even entertain friends and guests who come to visit. It should be a place where friends can come over […]
Get your chin up and cheer up. You don’t have to use the old “zipper-vinyl-roll up-mesh” screen system on your toy hauler any more. There’s other options, so you don’t have to settle on the one that came installed in your RV or toy hauler.
know our last chat was a little scary for you – talking about protection and all. It was an important discussion to have though because you need to be aware of all options. And now that you’ve had some time to think about that conversation and you know what retractable screens are…
Hey you. (Yes, you.) Come on in here for a second. Have a seat. We need to chat. Go ahead. Make yourself comfortable on the sofa. This might take a minute or two, but I promise it will be painless… We need to talk about something — get something straight. We need to talk about protection. You need protection. To, […]
