If you have some leaks or maybe loose tiles on the roof you need to get it fixed as quickly as you can. Once the wind and rains come then your are left to the mercy of the elements and will not be able to get a roofing contractor to come out until it's over. If you have fibreglass roofing or any other kind you will need someone that is experienced with all types of roofs. When you have clear weather and it is warm outside this is the best time to have your roof inspected so that you do not get caught in the rains with leaks everywhere and the kids will be screaming that they are getting wet and then when company comes in and sees all the water spots on the walls and in the ceiling that will be embarrassing so during the summer when it is cool and dry contact a roofing contractor or a house inspector and get them out there to let them inspect your roof so there is a problem it can be fixed before bad weather. |

Since I have spent six months working in Norway, I really would like to add a “Norwegian touch” to my house by adding a sauna!! I love the wooden, Scandanavian look, and even the fasteners on our doors are made of wood. I think there is no need to explain the benefits for your health of regularly visiting a sauna. However, I feel quite shy at undressing in front of strangers (getting completely naked is the “true” way to use a sauna!). This is why a small sauna would be a great addition to my house. It is actually quite easy, as all you need is a room where one or two people can sit comfortably. Then, you have to put wood benches in that room and... a very good heater! You can find sauna heaters on specialized pages in the Internet. After you built in your heater, the only thing left is to enjoy your sauna, which can be a wonderful way to release all the stress from your day! |

The biggest clean up that I ever had to do started in September 2004. I lived in Gulf Shores Alabama and on September 16 Hurricane Ivan hit and almost destroyed my home. Only the underground oil tanks survived. The debris that was left in my yard was almost hard to believe. There were boats, lawn mowers, bunk beds, air conditioners, a pier, luggage, silverware, trees...I could go on and on. It took a couple months to clean the yard and by the time we were finished it actually took 5 dump trucks to haul it all away. But that was just part of the clean up. The inside of the house was a huge mess. The first floor had been partially under water from the flooding and the second floor had damage from the holes in the roof. We had to get rid of most of the furniture and tear out all the carpet and vinyl. Some of the walls had to be torn out and rebuilt and all the ceilings had to be repaired. The clean up began in September of 2004 and was finally finished in August of 2005. Then Hurricane Katrina hit. But that is another story... |
