Posted on April 22, 2011 by

We like Earth Day. It is a great way to kick-start habits that will conserve our planet. There will be a variety of suggestions, all of which are wonderful ideas toward living a life that results in a cleaner, healthier planet. We plan to continue recycling, which includes paper, plastics, and used electronics. We have also installed energy-efficient lighting, low-flow toilets, and are working on planting a rain garden around our facility.

Here is our inaugural video. It is not a thriller! In the future our subject and production value will improve. Here we demonstrate how to attach hanging hinges that have been mortised into a plantation shutter. A mortise is cut into the shutter panel to minimize the light gap between the window jamb and shutter panel. Our future videos will be featured at  All About Shutters: YouTube.
