Learning from Other Cultures about Industrial Equipment and Supplies

Hi, my name is Jeff, and I firmly believe that there is always at least two ways to look at any problem. Whether I am thinking about poetry or industrial lawn mowers, I try to take a comprehensive look at the issue from all angles. That means I think about the history of mowing lawns, whether or not it's even necessary, how it's done in other cultures and more. Then, l I take those diverse viewpoints, and I try to find innovative solutions to the problem at hand. This blog centers around that ideology. It looks at industrial supplies and equipment, but it also compares and contrasts the Australian way with things I have seen and read about while travelling abroad. I hope you enjoy this blog and the "wide angle" I employ when thinking about things.

These windows are becoming very popular today, since they are more energy-efficient; they allow less heat to escape the home during winter months and less heat to enter the home during summer months.  However, double glazed windows have many other surprising advantages beyond reducing your utility bills throughout the year.
