college station homes: Does College Station and Bryan need Protecting? - 08/05/08 04:49 PM
College Station and Bryan homes may need protecting.
I was up early one morning and decided to watch TV. I found a home improvement show called Michael Holligan and saw an interesting video (CLICK THE PICTURE FOR VIDEO). The video talks about a newer roofing system that consists of 4 foot shingles made of steel and an asphalt covering is placed over it. It is said to be able to withstand up to 125mph winds with 2 inch hail and not be damaged. We dont have much of that here in College Station or Bryan, but it would be great … (7 comments)

Water heaters can be placed close to outlets so water usage goes down because the hot water has less distance to travel.
No extra room in the house for the tank style water heater has to be built … (6 comments)
