This is because you want to make sure that you’re choosing to go with items that are able to easily be added to the home and rooms of the home.

You need to be able to make the most of what is out there, and this can be done through the help of PlumbTile that offers them all and more.

Renovating Those Areas of the Home

One of the biggest things that you have to remember with plumbing fixtures is that the water to the area should be completely shut off before you start removing or adding items to it. This is because you can make a large mess if it is not. In addition to this, once the items are installed onto the system, you want to make sure that they are properly sealed, per directions, to ensure that you do not spring any leaks when the new fixtures are being used when the renovations are complete. If you remember these two tips, then you will be able to enjoy the new rooms.

Charged with a service fee that you feel is less than fair? Long time customer or client? Be sure to call and see if you can have that charge removed. I did a boo-boo with my banking online- resulting in me getting a service charge. When I called the bank's toll free # on the back of my debit card and explained what happened, they were most willing to remove the $4.50 charge. And that is called -getting results .

Review: Shark's Rocket Deluxe

Saturday, April 23, 2016

I recently reviewed the Shark Rocket Deluxe. Although not a newer model of their line up, it was one I was interested in trying. 


This is a powerful 2-in-1 vacuum
As an upright, the Rocket® vacuum deep cleans your carpets and hard floors. As a handheld, you can clean from floor to ceiling with ease. This vacumm had great suction.


Perfect for Quick Pick-ups
The Rocket® vacuum is ergonomically designed to make transitioning from floor to ceiling effortless. Shark® signature versatility makes this vacuum perfect for everything from deep, whole house cleaning to quick pick-ups no matter where the mess is. 



Designed to Clean Everywhere
There are some places in your kitchen where dirt hides that most vacuums can't get to, such as baseboards and under your appliances. Exclusive Rocket® attachments allow you to clean anything, everywhere.

Plus points:
-great suction
-lightweight
-low profile power head allowed ease of use under furniture 

Negative points:
-found it to have to many attachments. Was looking for a more simple model. 
-found the extra weight on the hand held part a bit different to get used to
-vacumm had to be stood up against the wall if you wanted to keep it upright
-cord seemed too long

Conclusion:
I do love the Shark brand, and feel it is a quality brand, although this particular model was not 100% to a style of vacumm I am used to using.

Saturday, April 9, 2016

Gerry has never done upholstery before but tried his hand at re-doing our RV dinette booth. Costly for materials, even with a discount coupon, from fabric store in USA, but more costly to pay someone to do the work.
Took some time ripping the old ones apart, so he could have a pattern to cut the material from, but was pleased with the outcome.
