Don’t wait for the perfect moment, take moments and make them perfect Roy T. Bennett There is no “best time to remodel a kitchen” —if I’m being completely honest. If you have the budget, time to spare, and everything mapped out, why put it off any longer? You can immediately proceed with the renovation.

We’ve all known ants for their collective efforts and incredible work ethic to improve their colony. But I think we’ve forgotten they are also one of the most relentless gatherers with insanely good odor receptors for picking on food scents from a distance. It is why ants can easily track covered dishes or wrapped-up foods. And because they are SO little, they are penetrable to almost any barrier. This makes them a real nuisance for homeowners. But what if you cover your meal in plastic, can they still access it? Can ants smell food through plastic? Yes, ants can smell…
It is a tough call to tell which is better, Samsung or Whirlpool washing machine. That is because both companies are at the top of their game. For most of us, it is either Samsung or NOTHING!

Between handheld bidets vs seat bidet, which is a better option for your bathroom? I think it comes down to your personal preferences on the features, the size of your bathroom and layout; budget constraints, and how easy installation or retrofitting existing toilets could be.

Seat bidet, on the other hand, offers more features, are far more user-friendly, and stress-free. However, they are expensive and require professional installation. Most people will readily choose the seat bidet over the handheld model because of the premium features…
A popular cultural misconception about bidets is that it splashes water and poop everywhere. But is it TRUE? If we’re being honest, do bidet splashes everywhere? Of course not, because that would forfeit the whole purpose of its invention. Bidet’s primary objective is to clean and rinse your genital and anal area after answering nature’s call without having to do it with your hands. It does this by jetting a laser-focused stream of water to your bottom and genitals and then going straight down to the bowl afterward. Excrement won’t splatter, and neither will water. And I have all the…
Performing rodent-proof ductwork procedures isn’t only for homes with critter infestation.

When I was an HVACR technician, one of the gigs I often got from my clients was that their air conditioner wouldn’t cool below 75 degrees. Depending on the humidity level or outside temperature, most homeowners prefer to set their thermostats to lower temperatures (75°, for example). Sometimes, it struggles to get lower than that. If you have the same problem, you don’t necessarily have to give me a buzz (I’m retired), so I will just tell you how to fix it. But this is what you MUST know: Whenever your air conditioner struggles to cool lower than that, 9…
Have you ever given it a second thought ‘Why is air conditioning so expensive?’ Well, I have. I began to notice a pattern when I got my third AC unit. I discovered there has been a HUGE shift in price when comparing all three in terms of purchase, installation, and maintenance. The installation price is even more shocking! But for some reason, the price ALWAYS seems to rise. Today is this price; it will be that price in the next two months. But why is that, though? Why Is Air Conditioning So Expensive?
