My son in law is an amazing carpenter and at the time I bought this for him he was in school and really loved this bag and now a few years later he is done with school and still using this on the jobsite.

A well-researched book on the psychology of our living spaces, with practical suggestions for looking around our own homes with fresh eyes. In this way, we can often reconfigure an area so that it better serves its intended function without resorting to expensive remodeling projects. But why on earth are there no illustrations or photos at all? The author describes countless examples of homes across America, both landmark sites (such as Washington's Mount Vernon and Jefferson's Monticello) and homes that could be in our own neighborhoods, but the point she is trying to make is often lost among the words when a simple photo or two would have worked beautifully. I'm holding off on buying this book in hopes that the paperback edition will include the photos that should have been included in the first release.

Plenty of books focus on interior decorating or rooms which look good: HOUSE THINKING: A ROOM BY ROOM LOOK AT HOW WE LIVE focuses on the feel of living spaces, providing a psychological house tour which pairs renovation and design concerns with psychological and the social impact of a home's arrangements. Her behavior-oriented approach to rooms borders on feng shui but goes further in drawing important connections between design and human health and purpose.

Enjoyed this book a lot though it is not a "decorating book" in the usual sense. I agree pictures would have been a delightful addition but I can see how it would have increased the costs and size of the book too much to be affordable. I found the insights into how our home spaces have evolved over time, and why we use them the way we do to be very entertaining. This book helps you think about how you use your space, and what feels good and right to you so your choices in decorating, remodeling or purchasing a home can be more deliberate. (You may actually understand why you fell in love with a house, or one room just feels so good, and another so bad!) It is easy to read and so entertaining, I hated to put it down.

It can't pump tires on a real bike. It says 115 psi but I can't get 90 out of it. It comes apart easily and feels like a toy. I wish I could send it back but I've waited too long.

This bicycle air pump is longer than I expected.The pump is actually 7 inches long and very easy to slide the handle back and forth.It inflates tubes fast for a pump that size.The pressure guage does not work at all.NO DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS on labeled backcard packaging;the first time I attemped to inflate a tire I was unsucessful.I did not TWIST THE ENTIRE DUAL HEAD END OF THE PUMP,TO OPEN THE VALVE,so the air could blow out of it.The instructions say to twist the grey collar to lock.WHAT GREY COLLAR are the instructions on the backcard pertaining to? No lines pointing to the illustration identifying a grey collar that needs to be twisted !
