		<description><![CDATA[We did two jobs over the past week on wood floors. They started out really ugly. And they ended up amazing. We finished them with 100% pure tung oil so they are really natural.
The first job was to remove some paint that a previous owner, in their infinite and unfathomable intelligence, had painted over the [...]]]></description>

There are currently no industry standards, so understanding the electrical characteristics of your LED or array is critical in selecting or designing a driver circuit.

		<description><![CDATA[We wanted some siding for a wall we built. So we used some 100 year old joists.
We took the joists and cut them into long strips.

Then we sealed them on both sides so they don&#8217;t warp.

Then we put them onto strips that we had attached to the wall. This way there is air behind the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing brownstones have in abundance are bricks. And I keep seeing dumpsters full of them. It is heartbreaking for me. These are beautiful bricks, a hundred years old, with character and texture. 
Here is one job site where they knocked down the whole building.

There were thousands of perfect bricks. The next day they were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We found about 500sq.ft. of 5 inch wide maple plank flooring in a dumpster. It had a very slight warp to it due to it not being installed correctly. But with a little sanding we could get rid of that.
So we happily installed the flooring.

Despite our good intentions there were complications&#8230;.

The rules are simple: it needs to be dangerously close to being sent to the dump or once used. 
Here are some of the things we have saved:

But then I discovered there is a thriving community of people who salvage old slate from homes. They have merged into the &#8220;green&#8221; [...]]]></description>
