home improvements: Is It Really Fixed
- 12/09/08 03:21 AM
I recently posted a blog about making the wife happy. It was a blog about a holidaylights fixer gadget. It worked great. My wife used it and was thrilled with the results. It's great if you only use it one time per string of lights. She used it over once on a string of light and they flashed and every bulb burned out.

Most people run around trying to buy all of the right gifts and all of the stuff to cook the perfect meal and of course wear themselves out making sure they have the most perfect decorations. We are usually sick every year either before or right after Christmas. We wear ourselves out running around trying to have the perfect holiday.

home improvements: Close the Foundation Vents

Since the weather is really getting cold - make sure that you have all of your foundation vents closed (if your house is on a crawl space). This is one of the things you can do to help with your heating costs. Also, make sure that you check your batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. … (0 comments)
