don't forget those electrical outlets in the garden designs
Comments (4)Great advice. My father was a plumbing/heating contractor and one thing we DO have are spigots on all 4 sides of the house! But "juice"... another story. We built on a shoestring budget (the place was sheetrocked and we had the 4 required doors when we moved in) and did we include the 10-15% for "landscaping", what do you think? hand in hand, went our naive oversight with respect to electricity. There is a reason building is expensive, there's a reason architects, landscape architects "earn" those fees that are so often the first to be cut in the "budget". Do I "regret" our oversight in that respect? On one hand, YES! it's so much more work to add electricity to a site after the fact, and it costs more. But we moved in for an "easy" mortgage payment that accorded us the luxury of "free time" to do the finish work ourselves. We were debt free in 10 years and while it was galling to deal with our initial oversight, we've had the benefit of watching the hardscape evolve and knowing where and when to concentrate our investment. When we built, we couldn't possibly have afforded "full boat" nor would we have been able to foresee what would be required. BUT, if you are able to afford it... do it NOW....See MoreTo Be Sure You Don't Forget Babies in Hot Cars
Comments (81)Yesterday's network news describes a rescue of a toddler locked in a closed car in a Kansas parking lot (very hot weather too). Video shows a woman attempting to smash and open up the auto safety glass with a tire iron. Safety glass is intentionally designed to NOT break open from relatively blunt impacts. However it will explode when a fine point is sudden forced against it (there is a sweet spot as well as areas that are less likely to yield). I have a spring punch in my center console, but a neighbor has the ResQMe product and I'm going to buy a couple of those since that device also has a seatbelt cutting tool and fits onto a keychain. (Someone at a B Q showed me his very cinched tight seatbelt from an auto accident -- I don't know how anyone was supposed to release that belt after it tensioned so tightly. Links: toddler rescue https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=57fc1PWqXOE Keychain Rescue Tool (glass breaker seatbelt cutter) There are a number of devices that have a pointed steel tip. When tapped against auto safety glass (or when the spring loaded tip of the ResQMe type is put against the glass and released), the safety glass will shatter. Even a spring loaded "punch" sold at Hardware stores can work. ResQme http://www.esafetysupplies.com/ResQMe-Keychain-Rescue-Tool.html?gclid=CJyfzJ-j7MYCFcWPHwodxWsGOg Oh, one more thing: the comments on the YT video are not thought out. And as far as (cell phone or purse being) "...more important than a child," nonsense. The idea behind it is this -- as an added layer of safety (leaving something you usually take with you from the car, in the back seat close to the baby/child), is aimed at addressing the many of us imperfect humans, who can momentarily become distracted. If we _routinely_ grab our cell phone, briefcase, purse or laptop, but do not routinely have a young one with us, this technique may help prevent a child from being forgotten in a car. If, once at the office (wherever), a purse, laptop or mobile phone need could have us racing to a parking lot. With regard to the kid's invention. People can jury rig a similar setup. Marine suppliers sell thin, UV resistant bungee cord by the foot as well and easily attached hooks or fasteners to secure to the ends. Another summer safety topic is children drowning (it is silent and quick), diving accidents, grills or bonfires (never put volatile fuel or starter on anything but a cold wood, propane or charcoal grill), and boating accidents. Just be aware. If they were planned, they wouldn't call these sad mistakes "accidents."...See MoreBig Brother tonight
Comments (6)I know all the big guys were first out they can not stand to stay in one position very long, the girls always do pretty good at those types of comps. I Have a Feeling Jessica is going to worm herself in and not get booted out. I would not mind Dom going home though she gets on my nerves with all the preaching and acting like the tv show hostess. Those that don't watch BBAD she does that mock tv show several times now at least once a week or so, I like Kevin though he is so funny. He has really grown on me....See MoreIt's Sunday, don't forget Big Brother
Comments (9)I record BBAD. Fast forward through a lot of boring stuff. I didn't think that about Paul getting the first temptation. He was the only person America knew at that time and he is very popular from last season. He has a lot of followers who were probably all voting. The other new people had no followers. Kevin said that on BBAD he was not surprised Paul got the first temptation because he has such a following. The one that I find suspicious is Jessica getting the last one. It put a lot of power in their hands and I think they knew that Cody was coming back in. I think Josh has totally lost his mind. I am afraid production is going to kill him and hide his body lol. He spent the whole episode of BBAD in the blue couch room talking to the cameras and crying and ranting and just going nuts. I feel sorry for the production team that has to watch that. Yes I definitely saw Alana's bare butt it was disgusting. She is always showing her boobs. She wears those cut off shirts with no bra and they hang out the bottom gross. I guess she thinks everyone wants to see that. I think it is interesting that production has these strange rules for them. Like they can't have cranberry juice after 11 o'clock, and they shout out No Napping if anyone is falling asleep. Dom stayed in bed the majority of the time. And they rarely let them go outside this season. Jessica tried to take a chair from inside to the backyard to sit and watch the pool game, they said no chairs were allowed outside. Some of the rules are just weird. Yes Cody's eyes do look weird. I wonder if he wears contacts? They look irritated....See More- 9 years ago
