He can help you gauge the future costs of maintaining the house.

The inspector will provide a consummate survey from top to bottom. The report will cover all fundamental components of a structure including construction,

Toilet Bowl Water and Your Pets: The Dangers Aren't Always Crystal Clear

It’s not uncommon to see a dog (or a very adventurous cat) with their head in a toilet, lapping up some unattended toilet bowl water. While this may seem like a safe practice as long as the bowl is clean, many of us use different products to keep our toilets sparkling. Have you ever wondered would happen if your pet took a lick of the blue water in the toilet?

(by Home Depot)

Hosta are the ideal foundation plants for a shade garden. Their season-spanning foliage in all variations of green and blue and their full size allow the gardener to play with color and texture as accents.

When choosing companion plants, begin with favorites heuchera (pronounced HUE-kerr-uh) and hardy ferns. These two perennials enjoy the same light conditions as hosta – bright morning sun and cool afternoon shade.

Following a visual examination of the property, an inspector will identify both the strengths and weaknesses of the infrastructure.

Colorful Cleaning Agents

Easy-to-use discs or tablets that go into the toilet bowl or clip on the side of the toilet are usually the most commonly found cleaners in the bathroom. These cleaners often turn the water blue and may seem unsafe for pets, but rest easy, that blue water is unlikely to harm your pet—although we don’t recommend letting them regularly drink the treated water. Like most things that can be toxic, the amount that your pet consumes is important. In this case, the chemicals from the toilet bowl (More)

 

 


Heuchera, commonly called coral bells, feature clouds of tiny bell-shaped flowers in late spring or early summer. Newer varieties are grown for their foliage — red, purple, silver, and good ol’ green.

Look for marbled or patterned leaves and varieties like Caramel, Autumn Leaves, Berry Smoothie, Creole Nights and Electric Lime. (More)

Sudoku The New Addiction!!

Just in case you've never played before. The object of the game is to fit the numbers 1-9 in the correct orders.

You need to fill a number from 1 to 9 in every blank cell.  A number must appear only once in each row, column and 3x3 block.

Sounds easy enough.

Don't give up. Once you get the hang of it, its very fun and challenges your brain.

(If you don't see the game on the left  please try refreshing your screen. You can use F5 or your refresh button.)
