  You CAN get rid of weeds without using Chemicals that would be harmful to you or your yard. So let's observe some safe ways to keep away those stubborn weeds!   1. BLEACH: Try lightly misting some bleach over them. Just a very small amout. After 2 days, they will pull right out with ease. Try not to get any on your plants.   2.

A Neighbor may plant a Tree well within it's bounds on their Property but sometimes the Branches may extend way beyond the line and over into your yard or over the fence. It's always good to know your rights and maintain the peace with your Neighbors at the same time by discussing solutions with your Neighbors if you have this problem.   If you have to inform your neighbor they might take it upon themselves to be more aware of the issue and they may trim up the tree to prevent Branch Damage and mess on your property. But if you have inconsiderate Neighbors that just don't care and won't work with you then my 1st thought would be, "Is it okay to trim the Branches from my Neighbor's Tree that is hanging over into my yard?" I have been in this situation before and, The Answer is: YES! BY ... 06/11/2014

1. Drawing on the Walls!: All kids at some point have done this. The greatest invention for prevention is the Washable Crayon. SOLUTION: Always invest in Washable Crayons for our precious little ones in case they decide to treat the doors and walls like a coloring book to give us a nice surprise....Or..if you really want to turn them loose, let them do their art work in a space or room provided so they cannot draw the whole corner of the home. A designated Art Room for Coloring only. If you do not have Children and have not experienced this, these may be helpful tips if you are babysitting for a close friend, or for when your nieces and nephews come over to visit.   2. Toys in the Toilet: Here's another one I believe all kids have done. Sometimes the cause of plumbing problems are from... 06/11/2014

  1. Double Key Deadbolts are very helpful to prevent thieves from breaking in easily, however, Double Key Deadbolts may be dangerous in the event of an emergency such as a Fire or bad Storm. If you decide to use this, educate yourself and your Family before installing one. Keep the key close to the door in a good hiding place that's easy to remember, and that everyone has access. The door lock should be far from any windows, otherwise if someone breaks in, it would be easy to turn a regular indoor deadbolt. It would be a good idea to have an additional lock at the Top or Bottom of your door that's out of reach from a broken window. 2. Hide VALUABLES. Always make sure your valuables like Jewelry, your Wallet, Credit Cards, Watches, Cell Phones...are hidden from easy pass ways such as Te... 06/09/2014

#1. Nobody likes to pay more for a product than they have to.  When a home is priced above its condition then most potential buyers are immediately discouraged.  If your home is priced at the upper end of your area’s price range then the home should be ready to move in, immediately.  If a potential buyer has to replace a window  or have the carpets professionally steam cleaned, or any other minor repair or cosmetics, then the price of the home needs to be reduced or you can keep the price as is and make the necessary improvement. #2. There is no doubt how hard it is at times that some people are trying to hold down a full time job, going to School or taking care of social and personal responsibilities while keeping a home perfectly clean can be quite the stressful load.  However, most ... 05/23/2014

SAVE YOURSELF SOME TIME!   SHAMPOOING THE CARPET: Save time by moving furniture just slightly but not totally out of the room or against A wall. Place the legs of each piece back on top of small wax paper squares after shampooing. The wax paper will protect your carpet and keep the furniture legs from getting wet as the carpet dries. Open the windows to speed the drying process. WASHING THE FLOORS:   The simple way: Use a combination wash/wax floor cleaner. Don’t feel guilty about saving time! If you have wood floors, move the furniture and rugs aside, then apply a wood cleaner. WASH WALLS, CABINETS, WOOD & BASEBOARDS:  Use a sponge and hand dishwashing detergent, washing the surface in sections. A sponge mop makes it easier to reach higher spots. Use two buckets: one for dishwashing de... 05/15/2014
