Some of Moen''s newest offerings include: Spin. Twist. Spiral. Swirl. Only Moen''s patented Revolution technology takes ordinary water, spins each drop, then twirls the entire shower stream. The result? Phenomenal coverage. Your guests can choose from a continuous range of showering sensations - from a rain-like shower to a deep, therapeutic massage to anything in-between. Give your guests the ultimate shower with the Revolution Massaging Showerhead. They have never felt water do this before. This revolutionary new valve architecture provides architects, designers and property owners the ease and flexibility to update the style of the entire bath, or replace a current trim piece, without going under the sink or behind the shower wall. Each trim piece in the system will fit on a common valve underbody. Once installed, changing out the faucet will take just minutes - simply unlock and unscrew the handles and spout, lift them off and replace them with the new style. Replacing the shower trim is accomplished just as easily.

To begin, rip the top and side jambs to the thickness of the wall framing plus the exterior wall sheathing. The cement board will lap over the jambs. The windowsill should also be flush with the interior framing, but hang over the outside sheathing about 1-1/2 in. and have a 5-degree slope toward the outside to help shed water. To keep water from running behind the siding as it drips off the edge, cut a shallow groove (or saw kerf) in the bottom lip. Also, remember to flash behind the trim to keep the window watertight. Trim the window exterior to match the house, using caulk to seal between the trim and siding. It''s important to set the panel so it protrudes 1/4 in. past the finished tile surface. That way, a bead of caulk can seal the joint between the tile and block to keep water out of the wall cavity. To size the glass block, remove the trim from the existing window and measure the rough opening. Subtract 2 in. from the width and the height to allow for the frame, then determine the panel size by counting the number of rows and courses that easily fits into the opening.

Later in the year fans needn''t stop spinning at the end of summer. Wintertime energy savings are possible by reversing the direction of the fan blades--from counterclockwise to clockwise, when seen from below--to force the air upward. Moving in this direction and set at low speed, a fan will gently push hot, trapped ceiling air to the walls and down toward the floor, a process called heat reclamation. Since the air isn''t blown forcefully downward, you won''t feel draftiness or chill. Manufacturers report savings of up to 10 percent on winter heating bills through heat reclamation. Size and speed Choosing a fan that suits the size of the room is important for energy savings and comfort. Fans are measured by blade span, with the 52-inch five-bladed fan being the most common: It is appropriate for rooms up to 400 square feet. The 44-inch fan will adequately serve rooms up to 225 square feet; the 42-inch works for rooms up to 144 square feet; the 36-inch fan is for rooms of 100 square feet or less. Fan motors can be set at low, medium, or high speed.
