HOW TO: Save Electricity at home

ELECTRICITY is the most important and most used thing in today's world or also should i say the most WASTED. Here we will discuss how we can save electricity by changing small habits at home.

1.Mobile Charging: When we charge our cell phones there is always an indication given when the battery is full. Also in most of the phones there comes a notification of switching it off and removing the charger from the socket. Though indicated many people dont follow it. If this will be followed much amount of electricity can be saved.

2. Ironing Clothes: When we start ironing our clothes, first we make sure that the iron is hot enough after which we start ironing. This can consume lot of energy if a single cloth is ironed everytime. Instead we suggest to iron a ive bulk of clothes at one go. This will save much electricity, since you will not have to wait for the iron to get hot everytime.

3. Keeping Unnecessary Appliances ON: This one is the worst habit of many people. In most of the houses there will be atleast 3-5 electrical appliances ON even if they are not being used. Computer,laptop on sleep mode, printer, wi-fi router ON although not in use, mosquito machine ON till late in the morning, Mixer, washing machine, oven, microwave ON from the socket. If this habit is improved your bill will surely be much less next month.

4. Forgetting things ON: Above we talked how we keep things ON, here we will see about things that we forget to switch off. First and foremost lights and fans, these two are the most comman things people forget to switch off. Next will be shower lights, exhaust fans and geyser in the bathroom. Sometimes we even keep the television on mute and get up to do some work and we forget it is ON. Remembering to switch off these appliances will save a big amount of electricity.

HOW TO : Build Invisible Book Shelves

We always love a neat and tidy arrangement of our beloved books at our home. But, at times, we run of enough space on our table or on our book shelves. Imagine, building your own book shelf and that too
invisible! VideoJug has superb answer for your issue.


Lets Build Invisible Book Shelves :

Step 1: You will need


  • 1 "L" Bracket

  • 1 Carpet Knife

  • 1 Drill

  • 1 Phillips Head Screwdriver

  • 5 Small wood screws (flat-head)

  • 3 Large wood screws (flat-head)

  • 1 Tape Measure

  • 1 Elmers Glue Bottle (filled with glue)

  • 5 Books To Shelve

  • 1 Big Book That You'll Never Read Again

Step 2: Where's The Middle?


Open the sacrificial book's back cover and use your tape measure to find the halfway point. Make a mark on the page, then trace the bracket from the mark out.

Step 3: Cut The Book


Use your utility knife to cut into the pages of the book, following the outline of the bracket. You can toss the excised text to the wind. Cut deep enough so the back cover of the book can be closed tight against the pages. Then use your knife to make a notch in the book edge for the "L" bracket. This way the book can sit flush against the wall.

Step 4: The Book Screw


Get your drill out and drill through the holes in the "L" Bracket. Secure the "L" bracket in place by screwing together the pages of the book. The pages will rise up the screw as you insert it, so use your hand to hold the pages down. Then drill two holes near the outside corners of the book, one on each side, and secure the pages by inserting screws into the holes.

Step 5: Glue


Cover the inside back cover of the book in glue and close it. Place a stack of books or some other type of weight on top. Now let it dry - overnight. Cheating this step is not advisable.

Step 6: Sleep It Off


We know you're excited, but just wait. Really. It'll be worth it.

Step 7: Mounty Hunter


Figure out where you want the books to go and find the stud. Do this by knocking on the wall until you hit a solid point. Another way to find a stud is to get a stud finder. Now mount the bracket to the wall using the large wood screws.

Step 8: Stack Them High


Find your favorite, most intellectually and artistically impressive books and stack them up high enough to cover the bracket. Largest to smallest. Now let your friends try to figure it out
