The Jr text says, says 4 channels 8amps/channel, 15 amps total load. Not sure that I understand their math. But 15 amps is a pretty good load on an extension cord. It can be done easy enough, but you are going to want to use a good high quality cord.

is there any difference between interior architecture and interior design ?and how it’s different ?

if it ‘s different what s more likely for me to do interior architecture or interior design ? =]

Architecture is walls and windows, things that actually make up the house. Design is the furniture and paint, ect.

While most of the couple today are thinking of preparing a fortune to spend for one of their most memorable day – wedding, some might find this hard to believe that planning a cheap wedding is quite easy to do. Just like planning for an extravagant wedding celebration, cheap wedding ideas are also great and fun, and can be really unique and creative, too! So if you are one of many couples who opt to have a cheap wedding without compromising what you have desired to be in your special day, consider saving money on your wedding location, reception and decorations.

One way to trim down your wedding expenditures is by planning of having a cheap wedding location. Planning to have this cheap idea is not impossible to do. In fact, you can have your wedding ceremony in a variety of locations that are completely free. A great example could be a local park. Usually, going to a local public parks doesn’t require any fees, and so planning a cheap wedding ceremony there doesn’t give you any cost. They don’t usually require any permits of other fees too. However, just make sure you have double checked it with your local city authorities before anything else.

Beaches are also a free place where you can held your wedding. Other ideas may include: having your wedding at a family member’s home, or having it in your own backyard. If you and your partner loves nature, it may be free or very inexpensive to have your ceremony at a local zoo, nature reserve, or even at flower conservatory also.

Another area where you can save some money is your wedding reception. If you are on a tight budget, you can always go with cheap wedding reception, and believe or not this is not too difficult either. One of the most popular cheap reception is idea is to make a pot luck meal. You can ask each of your guests to bring their own dish. But if you’d rather not ask guests to bring food for your wedding reception, then perhaps asking a few family members to get together and cook food as a wedding gift for you can lighten your burden.

Planning a cheap wedding receptions should also involve choosing cheap location for the reception too. Example, if you’d like to have your wedding ceremony in the gazebo at the park, then perhaps the best reception option could be a barbecue or picnic style in that same park. Another easy and cheap option is of course, having your wedding ceremony in your own home. Then you can have your reception in your home as well, or out in the backyard if the weather agreed.

Wedding decorations are not only fun to deal with, but they can also cut down your wedding expenses.

You don’t have to go without them completely though, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend a big amount of dollars, rather you just need to improvise. Example, instead of buying expensive flowers for instance, try decorating with balloons and streamers instead. You may purchase a few spools of pretty ribbon at the nearest craft store or fabric store. Grab few balloons and tie them together using the strips of the ribbon. Also tie the ribbons into bows themselves, then tape the ribbon bows around for decorations by themselves.

Other ways where you can save money on your wedding is to purchase cheap wedding favors, inexpensive bridesmaids gifts, and discount groomsmen gifts. Giving wedding gifts to your guests and attendants doesn’t give you any reason to overspend your budget. After all, it is not the cost that is being valued, rather the thought behind it.

I’m on a tight budget. So, it was normal for me to just get the unconventional cheap plastic drawers to keep my stuff. This has been my life for a year. It turns out that I should have go with the oak bedroom furniture that my mom advised.  The plastic furniture I use at my pad is not very durable. It cracked after a few months of use. When I thought of replacing it with another one, I calculated how much it costs me to have that closet. Unsurprisingly, two plastic closets are more expensive than one oak wood closet.

Have you ever head the saying that people go back to the fetus position when they are sad? It’s because it is when we feel most warm and cozy? I think that’s true. In my case, I don’t curl in the fetus position. I go up in our attic and pull out my cot bed mattress I use when I was a kid. I just lie in there even if my feet are way pass the mattress. I know it’s just a psychological thing but it is undoubtedly my security mattress. I hope it will stay with me that way.

I recently purchased my first home and am in the processing of decorating. My master bedroom is a bit smaller than previously (at my apartment). My bed is queen sized so it tend to take up a lot of room so I am looking for some tips to make the room appear larger.

Getting rid of the bed is not an option right now because I don’t have the money to replace it. I know that light colors will make the room appear more spacious but do you guys have any more tips for me?

Let plenty of sunshine in bright lights at nighttime….and a dresser with a big mirror will make it appear more spacious. Any mirrors in general will do. The more simple you keep it, the larger it will appear…meaning easy on the nic-naks (sp?) and busy patters for the beadspread and curtains.

Some of my high school batch mates organized a class reunion. It was held on a friend’s house in the country. Since I haven’t seen my classmate for a long time, I decided to take a day off and hit the road. The setup was very lovely. The small gathering was held in the small lawn. My friends set up iron patio furniture all over the place. It was really intimate. There were informal flower setups and of course, music. The atmosphere even got lovelier when night came and the string lights were turned on. It’s a heartwarming gathering.
