		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Jenkins Custom Homes owner, Shan Jenkins, was quoted in the Urban Home Magazine in an article entitled "Home Spa...Just Add Water". The article, written by Sue-Ella Mueller, describes how bathrooms have progressed in recent years, and what the future holds. She writes, "With everything from air tubs to automated toilets, from hidden televisions to champagne spray showerheads, the bathroom is now being designed to be our greatest indulgence."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Whether you are a wine enthusiast or a novice, a custom-built wine room is the hot trend in custom home design, especially where luxury reigns. A good wine cellar creates an opportunity for great wine for a lifetime. It can also add value for purposes of resale of the home…All fine wine collections require the same basic care: climate, humidity, and light control systems to protect and preserve delicate vintages. Vapor-tight doors and easy access are also top priorities. Proper storage makes financial sense and allows wines to be purchased when they are released, at the time they are most available and lower in price.”  So when planning your wine room, keep these three elements in mind: light, humidity and temperature of the room.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“The bathroom is the new den,” or so claims Christopher Solomon.  “More and more, people are going to the bathroom to relax and even luxuriate after a day in the rush-rush world, say home remodelers and designers. Homeowners are upgrading the rooms -- outfitting them with everything from soaking tubs to heated floors -- to make themselves comfortable. But peace and quiet aren't the only motivating factors. An upgraded bathroom helps sell a home and can be a good investment.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are two basic types of safe cracking: safe manipulation and lock manipulation. Safe manipulation includes drilling, torching, exploding – basically any method of getting into your safe that doesn’t involve having to figure out the combination. This is what Valdes  considers the “low road”. The “high road”, then, is lock manipulation. “Lock manipulation represents safecracking at its most pure form."]]></description>
