Out with the old and in with the new - Ceil's Blog Part 2 - New Countertops

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:14:32 -0600

In case you forgot a few weeks back you helped me decide what granite to use on my new countertops. In case you missed it I choose CANELLE. So far I have started to remove the drawers, take everything out from underneath the cabinets (just a couple so far). I went to Home Depot and purchased some packing boxes, already have four sitting in my dining room. All myl cabinets are finished and if I do say so for being 50 years old look pretty good. I removed all the hardware, cleaned it and will reuse it.

Today I started to remove the countertrops. OMG I am already beginning to think maybe I made the wrong decision. I banged, no movement. So I thought well I don't see any screws, it must be really good 50 year old glue. Maybe I'll take the formica off and see where I need to cut.

Back to the computer to make sure I understood all the directions. Here are some pictures of what I have done so far.

Sample: Canelle Oak Cabinets

Removed some of the 50 year old formica so I could figure out how to get the countertops off

They say on DYI you can do it. Yes I can! Can you see my new rubber mallet and heavy duty hammer.

Tomorrow I will get the courage to remove the stove top and work on the next section. Anything has to be better then that "old yellow" formica.

They said I have about 21 days before delivery; hope I have all the countertops removed by that time. Looks like Carl is going to have to eat allot of cold cuts for awhile.

Home invasions are on the rise....be cautious

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:29:05 -0500

Home Invasions San Antonio, Canyon Lake, Boerne, New Braunfels, Wimberly, Seguin, Blanco, San Marcos, Cibolo, Schertz

Have you noticed recently that home invasions are on the rise?

I believe it is the state of the economy.

What do you think?

Is it a stretch of bad luck?

Is it drug related?

Or is it just easier to take from someone and share the wealth?

Not only are they kicking in doors, but they are carrying weapons and innocent people are being injured or killed.

Please take steps to protect yourself & your family

1. Don't leave your garage door open

2. Make sure your home alarm is working properly, if not have it inspected.

3. Make arrangements with your neighbors to watch out for one another

4. Have the police department telephone number handy and programmed into your phone

5. If you have a dog he is your first line of defense. He will let you know if someone comes around.

6. Make sure you have good locks on your doors and windows

7. Be sensible. Don't take chances.

Be sure to inspect your home and stay safe.

From one that knows, the inside scoop, why folk's love New Braunfel's Texas

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 11:42:35 -0500

From one that knows, the inside scoop, why folk's love New Braunfel's Texas and Comal County Texas

Information at the end of this blog for Wurstfest

2009

Set on the banks of two rivers just 30 minutes north of San Antonio. New Braunfels is great for families to enjoy all year. The spring-fed Comal and the swifter Guadalupe, provide tubing and swimming for the entire family. Families for generations have come to this area just for that reason.

Then you have Schlitterbahn. The park is filled with trees and shady picnic areas along the Comal River. It is built in German architecture of castles and towers. The rides are everyone's favorite. They lead you in a tube down a mile of twists and turns before splashing you into the Comal. Seems every year they add something new. If you didn't know, Schlitterbahn bulds many of the rides in theme parks all over the world and is headquarted in New Braunfels.

Then there is the famous Gruene Texas area: Located just five minutes from downtown New Braunfels Texas. A unique place to eat is the famous Gristmill Restaurant, which was once a cotton gin. Just as you enter, the Gristmill is Gruene Hall, the oldest dance hall in Texas.

German Heritage Galore over at Gruene Texas

Then there is the Gruene Mansion Inn . This wonderful old landmark mansion has been preserved. Antique shops and history all in one place at Gruene. Where tourist walking the streets in Gruene still have the right away. People stop, smile, and wave and say howdy. The best ever is when they have Gruene Market Day's and vendors have unique items for sale. Carl did a blog on the Gristmill and the Gruene Mansion a few weeks ago when we went to eat at the Gristmill (my favorite baby back ribs)>

In downtown New Braunfels Texas , you have the square and the beautiful old Gazebo where folks meet and the bands sometimes still plays great music. The courthouse and main street antique shops. A walk to the famous Faust Hotel and Naegelin's Bakery where every day they serve the best-baked goods ever (since 1868 oldest bakery in Texas) Try the apple streusel.

It's great during Christmas when it al dressed for the holidays!

The famous Wurstfest held each year that brings thousands of visitors to New Braunfels.This year it is a ten-day salute to sausage and tradition www.wurstfest.com. Close to where Wurstfest is held is Landa Park that offers everything you would ever want in a city park.

Coming up this month!

Food - Fun - Music - and Texas Friendly Folks to say Welcome to New Braunfels, Texas

I could go on forever why I love New Braunfels; it's not just me, it is the generations that have lived in this area. Generations that have preserved the proud German heritage. A place where people are friendly, and willing to share. A place that still maintains the small home town feelilng, neighbor taking care of neighbor.

Carl's Blog - Thought Provoker - Low cost tips keep dollars in your pocket this winter.

Complete Home Inspection Service 830 - 899-2441

1. During the winter keep your draperies open during the day to let sunlight warm your home and keep them closed at night to help keep cold air out.

2. Seal leaks and caulk around doors and windows to prevent air loss, change or clean air filters every month and make sure your home is properly insulted. ( I did a series on this earlier in the month).

3. Run the dishwasher when it is full, and air-dry instead of using heat dry setting. You will save electricity by washing fewer loads and not drying with heat.

4. Wash full loads of clothes and if possible use cold water to wash your clothes. You will save electricity by running fewer loads and not heating the water.

5. In the winter which is almost upon us here in Texas, set the thermostat to 68 degrees in the daytime and comfortable lower setting at night or when you are away from home.

We keep hearing your utility bill will be rising, try a few of these and see if it will help.

Recycle your plant pots and save yourself some money by Ceil Winters

Recycle your plant pots and save yourself some money by Ceil Winters

Summer is over and now we need to think about Fall and Fall Plants. Here are some tips that will save you some money. Spruce up those old clay pots.

Mums are my favorite

Recycle those old plants pots.

1. Remove old plant and potting soil.

2. Use soap and water and a scrub brush to remove grit and grime.

3. Rinse well and let dry completely.

4. If you want you can paint; I use exterior semi-gloss.

5. This is a good way to recycle all your old paint.

6. You can get creative and do lots of projects when you recycle.

7. You can even spray paint and spruce up old basket plant holders. Spray paint and ribbon go a long way.

8. While the paint is drying, take a nap.

9. While I'm napping I send Carl to the nursery to buy me some new plants. Any color mums are fine with me.

10. Always start with new potting soil.

11.The nursery has a great variety of fall plants to choose from.

Mums are my favorite. You can't go wrong and the colors are great. When it gets too cold outside bring them in and set around. You can enjoy them right up to the holidays.

If you are selling your home adding fall flowers will look great after the long, hot, dry summer we have had here in Texas. When your mums get too tall, cut them down and they will come back again several times.

If you are buying a home in my service area of Comal County or Bexar County and surrounding area, please give me a call. Carl Wintes, Complete Inspection service 830-660-0131. I am an Advanced Home Inspector, License #3630.

The best baby back ribs ever@The Gristmill in Gruene Texas

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 21:40:49 -0500

The best baby back ribs ever@The Gristmill in Gruene Texas

We went over to Gruene last evening and walked around awhile and enjoyed the evening then went to eat "our favorite" baby back ribs; giant onion rings and special beans. Oh so good!

Shoosh don't tell anyone but everything on the menu is the best ever.

Here is a photo of one of the old renovated homes over at Gruene, Texas

When you see this you know you're in Gruene Texas

We sat down on the lower level where we could see the water and watch the sun set.

If you have been to Gruene then you should plan another visit soon. If you have not you really should plan a visit. This is our favorite time of the year.

A Real Reality Check! by Ceil Winters

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:07:36 -0500

Some of you may know and some may not, but I work with some of our senior citizens here in our community. I have been dealing with something recently that appears to be a growing problem. Helpless! Dealing with Reality and our Senior Citizens in our community. Please read to the End.

Helpless! My Reality Check

Reality, in everyday usage, means "the state of things, as they actually exist."

I can identify certain things like time, weather, shopping (my everyday needs).

Time: 365 days a year, 24 hours in a day

Weather: Four seasons, winter, spring, summer, Fall

Shopping: Buying items for everyday living and survival. Meeting my financial obligations.

I am comfortable with Time, Weather, and Shopping and the Reality of meeting life's needs.

Reality Check, things I feel helpless with, Example

•1. Decisions other people make that compromise my life

•2. Decisions other people make that compromise our country

•3. Decisions other people make that plain make no sense; but effect not only me but others

•4. Decisions other people make with finances without having controls put on them

I could go on but I imagine you understand what I am getting at. How in the world can a couple hundred people control so many different aspects of our life?

Are you beginning to feel Helpless? I see many folks in our community beginning to feel helpless. I feel helpless that I cannot give them a realistic answer why some things are happening in today's economy.

Many of our older folks are beginning to buckle under the stress of today's world. I could put an arm around them and tell them it is going to be better tomorrow but that would be untrue. Truthfully, I have no idea when and if it is going to get better.

Feeling Helpless? Put your arm around someone and say a heart-felt prayer that things will be better when folks get their heart and feelings in the right place and do what is right for the country.

"It's better to give then to receive"

Fall Checklist Part 6~The Kitchen~by Carl Winters

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:05:24 -0500

It's time for your home inspection, this you can do yourself

Fall Checklist Part 6 ~~~~~ by Carl Winters ~~~~~the Kitchen

The Kitchen

The Dishwasher - Check your racks for any cracks or erosion (this could damage your china and dishes)

Look for any signs of leaks in and around your dishwasher

Lift and spin your dishwasher arm to make sure it spins freely

The Sink - Check your faucets, if they are leaking they may need a new washer

Check underneath the sink for any leaks. Lines to the faucets, icemaker, dishwasher

Turn on the disposal and listen to make sure it is not binding

The Stove - Check burners to make sure they turn on and off easily. If you have a gas stove make sure, the flame burns an even blue in color.

The Oven - Check oven door gasket for wear, if worn replace. If it is a gas, turn on the gas broiler to make sure it lights properly. Check to see if the gas shut-off value is working properly.

Cabinet Doors - Check pulls, tighten any loose screws. Make sure hinges are secured.

Refrigerator - clean behind, pull off the front plate, and clean underneath. (Now this will take some doing but it will certainly help with the life of your refrigerator) Use your vacuum cleaner tool for hard to reach places.

Light Fixtures - Clean your light fixture; replace bulbs with Energy Saving Bulbs. If you have a ceiling fan, clean and wipe off blades. If the blades look like they wobble (I tape a coin to the blade, it is usually just enough weight to stop the wobble).

Look around your attic during daylight hours. Close the attic door and in the dark look for openings that allow light to show through.

Look around for signs of animal activity or entry zones that would allow some unwanted critters.

Feel around the insulation for damp spots for leaks. Look for missing or torn or no insulation areas. This could mean some animal activity.

Look for gaps around vents and fan motors and skylights.

Check for frayed wiring or loose screws

Make sure your ladder to your attic is secure

Look around to make sure rafters and joists are secure

Always wear long pants, long sleeves and a mask when you enter the attic.

Field of Dreams - Anglo-Saxon Treasure Hoard Found in the U.K.

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 22:01:07 -0500

Field of Dreams - Anglo-Saxon Treasure Hoard Found in the U.K.

You don't have to have a metal detector to find a Realtor. You treasure is"Buying a Home".

"CALL A REALTOR"

Ceil and I are going to do this when I retire. Hope we could be this lucky.

I've seen this on the news the last couple of days. How would you like to be this guy? Maybe we need to buy a metal detector and looks for buried treasure. Maybe we are in the wrong business. Maybe I should give up my home inspection business and buy two metal detectors tomorrow. Ceil and I could take off and hunt for treasure.

Field of Dreams
This golden eagle and fish are part of the U.K.'s largest ever haul of Anglo-Saxon treasure, which has been discovered buried in a field in Staffordshire. The first scraps of gold were found by the amateur metal detector, Terry Herbert. He could now be in line to share £1m ($1.6m) with the landowner and said it "was what metal detectorists dream of."

How would you like to find this?

What a find and so much history

Ancient Riches
The Staffordshire hoard contains about 11 lb. (5 kg) of gold and 5.5 lb. (2.5 kg) of silver, making it far bigger than the Sutton Hoo discovery in 1939 when 3.3 lb. (1.5 kg) of Anglo-Saxon gold was found near Woodbridge in Suffolk.

What's more, many of the estimated 1500 items are unique!

Fall Inspection Checklist! Part 3 - The Home's Interior "Heating"

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 09:16:39 -0500

Fall Inspection Checklist! Part 3 - Interior & Heating

by Carl Winters, Complete Inspection Service

It may be good to call in a professional for this job

There are a few things you can do yourself

Check vents and registers for loose or missing screws or covers.

Change the filter

Look for any visual signs of deterioration, rust or loose parts in your system.

Check to make sure you pilot light is on and working properly.

Make sure you have sufficient heating oil, butane or heat source (order early, don't wait until the last minute to order from your service provide)

Depending on your area of the country and your heating system, the service and maintenance may be quite different. Whatever the system, it does require regular maintenance.

(This was a reminder when my 92-year-old mother called me over the other evening to light her pilot light on her heat system\it's time to get busy with this project). If you are a First Time Home Owner, please be sure to add this to your list of maintenance items.

Last Day of Summer! and why I love Summer

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:51:33 -0500

Last Day of Summer!

LAST DAY OF SUMMER AT CANYON LAKE TEXAS

Summer is my favorite time of the year. Some may disagree saying it is too hot, too sunny, and too dry. I love all of that about summer here at Canyon Lake Texas.

It means walking down by the lake, watching families having fun at the parks (like Cranes Mill Park, Canyon Park, Jacob's Creek and all the parks around the lake).

Watching boats load and unload at the boat ramps.

Anglers headed out hoping to catch the big one.

Visitors and even some locals enjoying good family time at the parks and campgrounds

The wonderful smell of burgers and hot dogs grilling

Kids swimming at the subdivision swimming pool

Vacation Bible School (our youngest grandson attended his VBS this year).

Another summer at Canyon Lake has come and will disappear for this year by day's end. As for me, I look forward to next summer when it all begins again.

Good Bye Summer!

To all our new neighbors that purchased homes this summer in this area, we Welcome you to Canyon Lake, the best place in America to live. This is just my opinion. Thank you also if Carl inspected your home. Carl is a good man and does his very best to give you peace of mind that you have purchased a home that you and your family will enjoy for a very long time. We hope you will love living here at Canyon Lake as much as we do. If you know someone that is moving or going to buy a home in this area we would appreciate any referrals for the Home Inspection.

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 20:51:17 -0500

Dear Home Owner

Please leave the keys

Do you really want to sell your home?

I have a request for everyone that has been notified that the Home Inspector is coming, leave the keys or unlock the areas so that we can do a Complete Inspection of the Property.

Please Please Please

Unlock Your Outbuldlings, Storerooms or leave the KEY

If outbuildings are locked the Home Inspector can not get in to do the inspection, which will mean a return trip and another service charge.
