Annoying Falls

Living in Richmond VA, I get satisfaction of experiencing all four seasons. Being a kid back in the day, autumn was hands down the best. The leaves we jumped into were the most fun of any season. However, no one tells when you get older and own a home, the leaves can get rather annoying and while your kids are jumping in leaves, you’re cleaning out the gutters. After living in our home for many years and getting out my trusty ladder to clean out the leaves, we realized it was time to get some gutter guards in Richmond VA. Originally, when I lived in a one-floor home, it wasn't a pain to get up there and clean the gutters. When I moved into this bigger two-story home to start a family, things changed. Thankfully, since I got these gutter guards installed I haven’t had to get up there!

Asthma Attack

My daughter has terrible asthma and plays soccer. Whenever we got home from a game or from practice, she would still have to use her inhaler. I didn’t understand why until we realized that it could be due to the vents in our home. Unfortunately, my husband and I didn’t know how to fix the issue until we read an article about energy efficient homes in Bakersfield CA. The article detailed rooms being too hot or too cold, asthma acting up and worsening allergies. When my husband and I spoke to an HVAC company they let us know that more energy efficient options could help our daughter through air filtration options. We saw that most energy efficient upgrades can help your overall quality of life.

Parents Home Also Getting Older...

My parents’ home in Montgomery AL has recently started showing its age, starting with the plumbing. The pipes started leaking and the faucets started dripping. I’ve tried to get them to call a plumber in Montgomery AL to come out and take a look at everything, but they insist that their plumbing is fine and just needs to be tweaked in a few places. I’ll be down there visiting in a couple of weeks – we’ll see how it is!

Break In

I just opened up a new convenient store in Chicago after moving here from Seattle. I never needed video surveillance at my old store in Washington because I lived above it and knew that the locks were the same ones I used on my home! When I moved, I needed to install my video surveillance in Chicago IL.  I was lucky that I did, too. Two days after the installation, these children broke into my store and vandalized the entire place! I wouldn’t have been able to file a claim or get any kind of retribution had I not had these cameras and seen who had committed the crime!
