Ok, here is a good cause posting for all those animal lovers out there…and I am one. When it comes to pets I cant keep a dry eye when you see some of the cruelty bestowed on pets by some people. So when a pet adoptions website sets up that is trying to re-home some […]

The ADT alarm system is one of the best known alarm systems on the market. We all know the box that you see on the side of the house or the stickers on gates and windows alerting the would be burgler that….they better watch out…they better beware..
Here’s a thought… How do those of us with a home security system still manage to get a visit from Santa? Have I just stumbled across a major flaw in the alarm system industry? Come on….the guy has to weigh 300 Lbs. We even know the point of entry.
Any respectable ADT alarm system specialist should be able to handle this one! I mean, I can understand the tooth fairy….he’s a little guy. He probably fits through a keyhole. But Santa; he parks on the roof!

So next time you get a FREE home review from USA Alarms….mention it. Maybe there’s a discount if Santa gets through the net!

Be Safe this holiday season

My Girlfriend left with everything including the kitchen sinks!! Not an unusual story…but notice the plural…sinks. Has it come to pass that in this day of ever-increasing materialism that leaving with everything including the kitchen sink - singular- is no longer good enough. It won’t be long before the expression includes leaving with the triple bowl sinks marble encrusted round sinks .
Or maybe we will extend to parting with the sunken jacuzzi.
So the next time you feel that your relationship is getting a little rocky, be sure to look out for the tell tale signs and then go out and buy some Gorilla Glue.
No, not to help cement your relationship. To go one better and securely fasten the sinks into the tops…If she ’s leaving at least the sinks will be left to keep you company!!

Home Improvement….I’ll say it again…. Home Improvement. Its a word I say quietly to myself in the hope that my wife doesn’t hear me! I will gladly admit that I know nothing about the subject although I can recall watching the show, Home Improvement back when I didn’t have a wife I needed to speak quietly around. I was never any good at woodwork at school if that helps. Or metalwork or anything else that involved making or fixing stuff. I was awful at Airfix models as a kid. I always forgot the little guy that was supposed to go in the cockpit. I had an Army of pedestrian airmen by the time I was ten. When I got my first house, why oh why I bought a fixer upper I will never know. Thankfully, it was in the middle of a property boom and people would buy anything. After 12 months of my fixing up…well lets no go into that just in case the guy who bought the house ever comes across this article. Lets just say that the lighting was right the day it was shown. You can’t always depend on that light, so its a good job that I married a girl with a hankering for a tool belt. At least now I know that I dont have to try. I stick to the hammocks in the garden and she takes care of the fences and gates. If I as much as attempt to alter the thermostat on the heaters i am likely to end up in the basement with the termites.
But thats fine by me. I do the cooking and she does the Home Improvement. When it comes to relaxing pursuits I would much prefer preparing lunch in the outdoor kitchen leaving her to the job of maintaining the septic tanks. In my search on the web, I did come across a good site for Home Improvement resources. I say its good because the wife told me so. She often uses it for reference be it for outdoor work…she built the outdoor kitchen by the way…gates, fences…you know the sort of thing. It has tips on everything from leaking basements to fish tanks…no connection there.
So whether its termites eating your septic tank or the lighting atop your wall heaters….try myhomeresourcecenter.com . It makes a novice   like me….ever glad I married a chippy!
