Plumbing Problems

Hi Neighbors!

We have had our share of problems with our plumbing this year.  First the girl's bathroom had a major blockage somewhere in the pipes.  By the end of a shower, you were calf deep in clogged water.  Of course it was further in then our snake would reach.  We ended up having to go to the basement and cut into the pipe and then reseal it after removing all the buildup and hair. Disgusting!  We have those little screens on our drains, but sometimes people don't put them back after removing the stopper when bathing! For awhile our sink and tub were bubbling at each other.

After that ended we had a leak underneath out kitchen sink.  Off to shop for more Plumbing Tools and Equipment.  We ended up having to replace the whole faucet, sprayer and the pipes.  One whole day spent on repairs.  And if that wasn't enough, the boy's shower started leaking.  Water was dripping from the shower head and wouldn't stop.  When we thought we had it repaired one of the boys hopped in for a shower and a handle blew off.  Amazing! After repairing the handle, the shower appears to be working fine.

Now it is the dishwasher that stopped working.  It just won't run, unless you hold the door shut tight.  We think we need the locking mechanism replaced.  Of course the warranty ran out last month.  I think they plan things like that!  So, we are supposed to fix that this week. Hopefully it will be a quick easy repair.  I am really hoping we don't have any more plumbing type problems for awhile.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
