Cost-saving Electronic Thermostats
August 7, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
If you add an automatic thermostat to your Hidden Valley vacation property, you’ll save on your heat and air costs. Digital thermostats let you set program settings for
winter and summer seasons. Most allow you different settings for weekends vs. weekdays.
Thermostats can be very simple to install yourself, and a very good one should cost you less than US$100. Instruct your cleaning staff or property management company to re-set the thermostat, each time they visit the unit.
It is also a good idea to put warning signs up near the thermostat instructing the renters not to adjust it. If it is to cold or hot they are likely to make there own adjustment so it might be worth giving them the know how to do it right. It is also a good idea to review your heating and electric bills. If you are not careful you will end up paying way to much in the winter.

Frank Lloyd Wright Fallingwater House
August 5, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
One of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most acclaimed accomplishments was built in 1936 for Edgar J. Kaufmann and his family in Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania. Fallingwater sits atop a waterfall where the house’s construction is based upon. Originally, the family had presented the idea of the architecture to be set around the waterfall but was surprised to hear Wright’s most innovative idea of building the house on top of it instead. Fallingwater continues to amaze visitors with its appearance of free-floating platforms and the house’s connection with the elements.
Fallingwater was constructed by local craftsmen who quarried sandstone from the property. Stones are also used to separate and help create the illusion of the suspended platforms. The house was then built with a guest and service wing in 1939 and was open to the public starting in 1964. The house, its contents, and the ground are now the property of the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and is still one of the only Wright houses preserved in its original state.
Fallingwater tours now offer dining and gift shop opportunities. A tour of the home is regularly available. For more information, please call (724) 329-8501 or visit the website at http://www.paconserve.org
