Puppy Training!

Having a new puppy is hard work! My daughter wanted a beagle for her birthday and worked hard around the house to get one. We all fell in love with Bopper as soon as we named her, but we were not as prepared as we thought to potty train her. As you can expect, accidents ensued on our white carpet… thankfully I looked up carpet cleaning in Brandon FL after I tried everything to get the stains out on my own.  It turns out, my carpet cleaners made the situation even worse. Next time, I’ll call them first! 

Winston Tore Up My Carpet!

Our pets are our best friends. If your cat’s anything like my Winston, he may wake you up in the morning by nuzzling against your face or think the best time to play is 3 am. He may also have gotten a bit confused between the cat tower and your carpet. Yep, that’s right my cat tore my carpet apart! I wasn't sure if there was a way to fix patches of ripped up carpet, but called my local carpet repair company in Tampa FL who assured me they could have it fixed in no time.  They were able to patch up the holes Winston created and leave the carpet looking brand new! Don’t worry, I've already moved Winston’s cat tower! 

The Benefits Of Hiring A Fencing Contractor

Are you debating whether you should build your fence yourself or hire a fence contractor in Paramus NJ? Question no further! Fence contractors can help make your fencing dreams a reality. Not only do they provide quality materials, they’re able to suggest new trends and designs which can revitalize your lawn. They also handle all of the zoning, so all you have to do is research the right contractor for you. 

Moving On Up!

My brother called me this morning with the following news: "Its official, I’m moving to Arlington VA!" Like with all of our moves, he called me to help research the top things to do in Arlington, so we decided to share that list with all of you…

1. Arlington Cemetery – A military cemetery where veterans of every American war since the Revolution are buried
2. Synetic Theater – In December they will be putting on their version of A Midsummers Night’s Dream
3. DEA Museum – Am I the only one who can’t get over the loss of Breaking Bad?
4. Take a tour of the pentagon – Apparently this is a great look into the mission of the DoD
5. Theodore Roosevelt Island – a great way to get out of the city life and enjoy 2 ½ acres of foot trails
6. Skating at Kettler Capitals Iceplex  - can’t wait to skate on the ice the Capitals practice on! 

Moving Any Time Soon?

Moving can seem like a scary task sometimes (from my move... it was). Between the sheer amount of stuff that needs to be transported, or fragile furniture items, a lot of people are scared of the idea. You need someone you trust to handle all the valuable possessions and to be able to make the move in a timely fashion. My move to Texas was not ideal and actually turned into a big problem. The company did not deliver in the time frame they said they would and it cause too many issues to even begin describing in here.

Be sure to contact the local Fairfax, VA moving professionals to see if they can help with your move. Some companies can help with other tough moving items such as pianos and other heavy, awkward furniture that requires care. I have heard horror stories in the past (along with mine) so now I know to not just call any moving company. It can have a major impact on your overall moving experience.

Also, feel free to call movers Rockville MD if that is a closer location for you! 

Holiday Season Is Upon Us

As you are aware (or not because you want the summer to last longer) the holidays are just around the corner. And whether you like it or not, this means company will be arriving at your home very soon. Instead of rearranging your furniture to cover that red wine stain from the other weekend, or the not so lovely carpet stain the dog left last week, call the local Tampa FL carpet cleaning experts! You can always try cleaning on your own with bleaching products but they may remove some of the natural color in your carpet. Having your carpet professionally cleaned will leave you feeling confident and ready for the slew of friends and family that are about to arrive! 

P.S. The good news is there is always football or basketball to escape to if the in-laws won't stop asking about your job or how many kids you plan on having...

New to Austin

I'm a new transplant to Austin, husband to a loving wife, pal to a loving dog, and owner to a second home. My family moved to Austin this year to help keep things weird, and because Maryland kicked us out.

I thought it would be good to try to document the life of a family man in a strange city, including all of the mundane tasks that go along with scheduled date nights, dog owner mishaps and maintenance home by someone who is not exactly the most handy person in the world.

Feel free to come along for the journey. We've got a lot of weird stuff planned.
