Good choice for a re-blog and excellent tips for home owners.  Summertime is a good time to make all of the improvements.

Have an outstanding week with your camera in hand.

Great re-blog! With the heat in the 100's as of late here in Richmond, we all are looking for ways to save on bills. One thing we did was to have a timer installed on our pool...this keeps the water turning over the way it should and keeps us from forgetting about turning it off. My neighbors bill was in the $400 range this month while ours was in the $200 range. HUGE difference. Guess who just installed a timer? ;)

This time of the year we are all looking for ways to save on our energy bills; surprising that we still have to say "turn off the light" but it works and we do. Thanks, Will; sure hope you had a spectacular 4th.
