Finally CFL lightbulbs, low flow faucet and dryer improvement

Can't believe it took me this long, but I finally installed CFL bulbs around the house and dimmable CFL in Theo's room. I guess I was waiting for the old bulbs to blow.

The new shower head is very satisfying. Bobby is thrilled because the old one pointed too low and he had to squat a bit to wash his hair. I nearly threw up when I removed the old one- the nozzles were covered in black gunk! I found the 1.5 GPM "roadrunner showerhead" at eartheasy.com. 39.99$ That's also where I also ordered low flow aerators for all our faucets. The dual setting swivel aerator for the kitchen rocks - adding some functionality to our old school wall mounted faucet. 6$

We also replaced the old flexible ducts on the dryer (thanks Paul da Plumber). Drying time nearly cut by a third!
