MarketWatch Video: New Home Technology, Including Diamond-Powered Faucets!
Eek, diamonds are now apparently being used in a new water-delivery system that debuted at the International Builder’s Show in Orlando, Fla., this week.
For those who do not know it, BoomTown is a closet–get it??–home renovation freak and once had a column in The Wall Street Journal called “Home Economics.” (Here is a link to my 2004 review of high-tech toilets, for example, with the unfortunate lede: “Is happiness a warm toilet seat?”)
Nonetheless, we press on, and “Home Economics” might even return here in a new video format, so get ready.
Until then, check out this sparkling MarketWatch video:
