At the Seattle Home & Garden Show, he is introducing a new design service to help homeowners deal with weather extremes: the Cool Room Concept. Emphasizing low-cost ways on how to deal more effectively with extreme weather, the Cool Room Concept focuses on everything from insulation and passive heating/cooling (such as adding porch overhangs), to transforming basements – often the part of the home least affected by temperature outside - into living spaces that can comfortable handle extreme hot or cold weather. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The Cool Room Concept can be successively applied to almost any home - each according to the existing configuration of the structure. Sometimes the concept works better as part of a larger addition/remodel project, sometimes it works fine with an existing house layout, with very minor changes inside.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">For more information on Will Thomas Designs, please click <a href="https://wtdesigns.biz/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6H9jX8sAcBBdXd0Q9REe6_tY6WysdNMYNYvg04cSeo90MXo5icD_vPCV4Jwf-FKBT5uoRXKSWiUp5xsBzJ4pYWvNYXYi1M3PPvzuaNxOWCvkdVgNb1EwlfxzSSnjzSCPM1Y0Lbp5GwKzfPfpqvz7Jq4lvPhwraTHOwOW9qSCN60ReZzNsNvMubqA3/s640/WT%20Before.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6H9jX8sAcBBdXd0Q9REe6_tY6WysdNMYNYvg04cSeo90MXo5icD_vPCV4Jwf-FKBT5uoRXKSWiUp5xsBzJ4pYWvNYXYi1M3PPvzuaNxOWCvkdVgNb1EwlfxzSSnjzSCPM1Y0Lbp5GwKzfPfpqvz7Jq4lvPhwraTHOwOW9qSCN60ReZzNsNvMubqA3/w320-h240/WT%20Before.jpg" title="Before" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Before</span></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqbBKElIDt9_ZnnkX8FVircxzYaqImD8ntYHI5bvxAds0B6CQvZgWO9DbTvpV4EmK2CU8KOjaZ-igvORFKpvhNe48hAt9XaDKc8C7e2yRXt97v1nIQifJhtX0nlKAXNeYcWZsooXYjIkD7NnTLV1FelLqEpElgXdN1mjbrOGmyHnmDkVXzdQjo75Nl/s640/WT%20After.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="457" data-original-width="640" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqbBKElIDt9_ZnnkX8FVircxzYaqImD8ntYHI5bvxAds0B6CQvZgWO9DbTvpV4EmK2CU8KOjaZ-igvORFKpvhNe48hAt9XaDKc8C7e2yRXt97v1nIQifJhtX0nlKAXNeYcWZsooXYjIkD7NnTLV1FelLqEpElgXdN1mjbrOGmyHnmDkVXzdQjo75Nl/s320/WT%20After.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">After</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320546880183903810.post-5103027702328352072023-03-01T09:27:00.010-08:002023-03-01T09:39:26.872-08:00Behind the Scenes: In the King5 Studio with Dr. Lori<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHbvBVWaA2kke7bMrjrRTHEiMaHsUeIhznU7SSOhUovGj36L6IxyzAlXlHuXtLEAdNiS0RCMhpIckviYHbS0aXRYCI_33dIBnddKRtN8OmA3KxBrKeLONrFIDIKXP8awhxLNCOb0bp3snHHIKFJ3812lTb5hBrI35jTXqlQeFxqCQrZ9EjS-L51ZkS/s4032/IMG_1232.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHbvBVWaA2kke7bMrjrRTHEiMaHsUeIhznU7SSOhUovGj36L6IxyzAlXlHuXtLEAdNiS0RCMhpIckviYHbS0aXRYCI_33dIBnddKRtN8OmA3KxBrKeLONrFIDIKXP8awhxLNCOb0bp3snHHIKFJ3812lTb5hBrI35jTXqlQeFxqCQrZ9EjS-L51ZkS/s320/IMG_1232.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>As many of you probably saw, Dr. Lori was here last weekend at the Seattle Home & Garden Show and she also appeared on the morning edition of the King5 news!
