Protecting your home

If we are lucky enough, we can enjoy all of life’s benefits without incurring any of its costs. Base jumping with no life insurance—or no parachute for that matter—is perfectly safe for those lucky few who manage to beat the odds. Living such a life would be like eating whatever you want whenever you want, never getting any exercise, and still winning the Tour De France. If you are lucky enough, you will remain healthy in spite of the risks you are taking. But the reality is that for almost everyone who takes such risks, the costs counterbalance the benefits. If we are being realistic, then we must admit that life entails lows as well as highs. The person who is better off in the long term has usually benefitted from foresight and planning for the future. This general truth breaks down into smaller parts: we buy life insurance to mitigate the risk of financial crises in the wake of the unthinkable, we brush our teeth because we otherwise run the risk tooth decay and gum disease, we buy health insurance for our children in anticipation of costly injuries and expensive sickness.

But there is another way to plan for life’s costly contingencies. A home warranty from American Home Shield is the answer. This little secret is highly effective, convenient, and often overlooked.

Once you have secured your ability to maintain your family’s health with life insurance and medical coverage, you have taken a tremendous step towards a more secure future, but you haven’t yet finished the job. Costly malfunctions and breakdowns of other kinds may loom in the future. These are primarily related to the equipment and machinery involved in living life, most obviously cars and transportation, but even more importantly, your house and the home within. When an important element of your house or an appliance within it breaks or malfunctions, you may find yourself in a pickle, or even a nightmare. Overflowing dishwashers, sedentary air conditioning systems, dead refrigerators, broken windows, and related headaches are more likely than not. When these unwelcome events rear their heads, an ounce of prevention can absolve you of the considerable burden that so often falls upon American’s overworked and underpaid families. A home warranty from American Home Shield is like a security blanket in these difficult circumstances.

When it comes to repairing or replacing important parts and appliances within your home, it can be difficult, time consuming, and costly to locate a capable and responsible contractor to fix the situation. The yellow pages contain many names, but few ratings. Ratings and reviews available online are of dubious reliability, and have often been forged by those with a stake in local repair businesses. Even if you manage to find a competent contractor, the effort you have invested in getting to that point will be a sunk cost on top of the cost of repair.

With a home warranty, fixing problems with your home is as easy as giving American Home Shield a call and letting them do the rest. American Home Shield’s nationwide network of carefully selected contractors stands ready to keep your life running smoothly. If you live a golden life, you won’t have to deal with life’s unexpected problems. But if you’re like the rest of us, you will benefit from a home warranty from American Home Shield.

The home warranty plan for you

With age comes wisdom. Or at least, we older folks would like to believe that our age has imparted us with a unique perspective. I can sum up my wisdom in a phrase: “Having a strong shade tree in the future is as easy as planting a seed in the present.” Just plant a seed—give it an opportunity to grow and flourish—and it will do the rest of the work. It is remarkably easy to put a seed in the ground. But if you do not plant it, growing a tree is far from easy, and beyond difficult; it is impossible. So, my advice? Plant your seeds for the future today.

I am speaking metaphorically, of course. The seeds we plant are the small, easy provisions we make for the futures of ourselves, our families, and the things we care about. An ounce of prevention, as they say, is worth a pound of cure. Once you’ve taken care of the health of your family, maintaining its happiness requires foresight. In the event that an essential (or even non-essential) component of your home breaks down, things can go south quickly. Let’s face it: damage and breakages occur, and in the long run, they are inevitable. When it comes to fixing these problems, headaches and empty wallets are common results. Firstly, finding the appropriate technician to fix the problem can be difficult, and knowing that the technician you have hired is honest and knowledgeable is even more difficult. Secondly, once you have found a technician or repairman, you may be stunned by unfair pricing and excessive costs. This is a thorny problem, and once your home or an important appliance needs repair or maintenance, you have no choice but to grasp it with both hands…

…unless you’ve already planted a seed!

Planting a seed requires a bit of your time and thought, but not much. Similarly, protecting yourself from headaches and empty wallets in the future requires only a minimal reasonable investment in the present. Having a home warranty plan is like having a trove of savings tucked away in the bank, in that with the knowledge of your guarantee for the future you can sleep at night instead of worrying. And although tucking away savings is sometimes difficult, calling American Home Shield for a home warranty is easy and inexpensive. With a home warranty plan, you get the ease of mind that comes with knowing that nearly anything that goes wrong with your home or appliances will be promptly taken care of by an honest and skillful contractor, and with no great cost to you. When a problem arises, you simply give American Home Shield a call and let them do the rest.

You will know that you are doing the right thing for your home, your family, and your long term wellbeing when you call American Home Shield for a home warranty plan. American Home Shield invented the home warranty, and they’ve been doing it for over 35 years. And as is so often true, the very first is the very best.

So don’t just plant any old seed, plant a good seed! Have American Home Shield’s network of over 11,000 contractors at your disposal, and be better prepared for life’s headaches.

An introduction to clay roofing tiles

If you have already done some research on the subject of roofing materials then you might be inclined to ask "Why should I use a material that is so expensive compared to it's competition?".

Well I will tell you.
Clay roofing tiles will outlast ANY OTHER roofing material, and the proof is easy to see.

  • On the shores of the Northern Mediterranean sea three thousand years ago, was spawned western civilisation as we know it.
  • There are examples in museums of clay roofing tiles that that used to adorn the roofs of ancient Greek temples.
  • The Romans brought tile making to a fine art, and their word for them was "Terra Cocta". This Latin word gives us the modern word terracotta or terra cotta used in Europe to describe this brilliant roofing material.
  • Not only around this small area but all over the world there are examples of historic sites that are part of our rich cultural heritage.
  • Very few of these places today would be still standing but for the fact that their buildings were protected by clay roofing tiles.

Take for example the small Adriatic port city of Dubrovnik in Southern Croatia. This city is inscribed on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) list of World Heritage sites. It is a charming old town with streets and buildings dating back hundreds of years. It is extremely popular with tourists and locals alike.

On the other side of the world there is another town that is also on the UNESCO list. The town of Hoi An in Vietnam is also a port and for centuries it has been a thriving center for trade in this region of South East Asia. The reason that Hoi An is on just about every Vietnam visitor's must see list is the charm of the centuries old buildings.

The buildings in Dubrovnik have survived the weathering of hundreds of years because of the use of Roman style terra cotta tiles. The buildings in old Hoi An are the same, they are protected by almost identical tiles that originated in China and are known as "ying and yang" tiles. They have survived countless hurricanes, or typhoons as they are known along that Asian coast.

Cities that used less durable materials have either changed completely by being rebuilt time and time again or have just simply disappeared.

  • So if you want a roofing material that will not need replacing in your lifetime, or your children's lifetime,
  • If you want for your roof something that can take anything that extreme weather conditions can throw at it,
  • If you want a roofing that can withstand the chemical attacks of industrial pollution,
  • If you want a good looking roof type that has been pleasing to the human eye for centuries,

Then choose clay roofing tiles.

Synthetic Rattan Outdoor Patio Furniture - Beautiful and Practical

Rattan outdoor patio furniture continues to gain in popularity.  Attractive styling and ease of movement make woven rattan a preferred choice for most climates.  But which type is the best for your patio - natural or synthetic?

Natural rattan is made from palm species native to Tropical Africa, Asia and Australasia.  Most rattans tend to be vinelike rather than trees, with slender stems and long internodes between the leaves.  The greatest number of rattan palms exist in Indonesia, followed by the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Bangladesh.  Manufacturers make beautiful furniture from these natural fibers; however, natural rattan has a significant downside.

Being made from natural fibers, rattan furniture is vulnerable to the elements.  When used outdoors as patio furniture, rattan can be adversely affected by moisture, causing the fibers to mildew and the glue to melt.  Exposure to Ultraviolet light can cause color fading and fiber hardening, leading to cracking and breakage.  New technology in the making of synthetic fibers has led to the development of a wide variety of synthetic rattans that address these issues and make synthetic rattan outdoor furniture a practical and beautiful solution for your patio needs.

Synthetic rattan is made from a polyethylene-based fiber characterized by high flexibility and tensile strength.  It is created through an extrusion process that provides a smudge-proof, solidly-colored fiber that is resistant to temperature variations.  Synthetic rattan is extremely durable, weather and UV light resistant.  It is especially suitable for weaving, which makes outdoor furniture the perfect application for this fiber.

The fibers used in synthetic rattan outdoor furniture are environmentally sound, non-toxic and recyclable.  The material is 100% HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), and contains no PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride).   Synthetic Rattan has a permanent fire retardant rating that meets International Maritime Organization (IMO) Standards, and has been subjected to accelerated weather testing to assure its UV stability.  Synthetic rattan fibers also contain the same antimicrobial compounds as are found in hand soap to prevent odors, and are static and dust-resistant.

Four Ways to Sell Your House

The most common method of selling a home is to list it with a realtor. You the home owner, do very little work in finding the buyer. The realtor does this by entering your home in the multiple listing service or MLS; a real estate computer data base. The MLS is extensive and open to the puplic for searching and viewing, but restricted to realtors for data input. Only a licensed realtor can enter your house into the system, which they would love to do with a signed listing agreement, their commission insurance policy. MLS is a great tool and in the hands of a good agent has sold many houses. Be sure to pick a good realtor. This will either make your selling experience a happy, pleasant one or a misserable, regrettable one. Choose a true professional, one with a good success record and not one of the 85% who are amateurs. If you are confident you have a good agent, go ahead and list it for six months. If you are not sure about their selling ability, then list for three months or less. And be careful about the initial listing price. A professional will be truthful and realistic about what your house is really worth. An amateur will promise you "pie in the sky" just to get the listing and then lower it after it sits on the market for a while. The danger with a high initial listing is that the good potential buyers have, in their minds, written off your house as overpriced and most will not return for a second look after the price is lowered.

The second way is to do it yourself. This is called a FSBO which means, "For Sale By Owner." Selling the house on your own can save you a 6% sales commissions, but marketing a house requires action and know how. When my company sells one of our houses we run an ad in the newspaper, canvas the neighborhood with flyers and do open houses both Saturday and Sunday every weekend until we find a buyer who can qualify for a new loan. And we don't take their word for it. We investigate the buyer's financial strength ourselves to make sure they are actually loan worthy before signing a contract. The most effective selling tool is the open house. Plan it out! Start at 2 pm and go to 6 pm. Map it out! Put up lots and lots of arrow signs on the main roads and all along the way to lead prospects right to the front door. Deck it out! Stage the house with floor rugs in the living room, towels in the bathroom, dishes and glasses arranged in the kitchen, music and cinnamon potpourri all around and anything else you can think of to make the home feel warm and cozy. If the house is already lived in make sure it is clean and neat. Figure it out! Have sales sheets ready with all details printed. Have a mortgage person ready to verify financials over the phone. Have a completed seller's disclosure, and have a blank contract ready to sign.

If you get no results with the MLS or FSBO then you could try leasing your house to a qualified buyer and give them an option to purchase at a later date. This method is called a lease/option and it has its pros and cons. The pros are your house will be occupied by someone who will take good care of it because one day it will be theirs. Also your monthly payment is covered so you are not making two payments. And a lease/option buyer is easier to find than someone who can qualify for a new loan. The cons are you do not get your money up front so if you need to get your equity, this method is not for you. And realistically, most lease/option buyers never go on to exercise their option and close. Which means at some point in the future you will be doing it all over again.

The 4th and final method for selling your house is to call a professional investor. The good thing about investors is you don't have to do any repairs. You can sell the house "as is" "with all faults." Those faults, if extensive, will make the house unloanable. But with ivestors leaky roofs, moldy walls, cracked slabs, aluminum wiring, blown a/c compressors, outdated kitchens and bathrooms or whatever else may be an issue with you is not an issue with them. With an investor you don't have to worry about getting your buyer a new loan because your buyer is an investor who pays cash! Usually they can close in less than a week. The bad part is you will not get as high a price as you would with a retail, new-loan buyer. But when your house is not new-loan worthy, an ivestor is the way to go. If this is your situation I would be glad to make you a fair offer, pay all cash and close in less than a week.

Corrugated tin roofing

The roofing material otherwise known as corrugated iron would have to have been the single material that defines the the pioneering days of many countries. Known as tin roofing or galvanised iron it helped people to settle many of the worlds remote areas in the 19th century. From the pampas of South America to the goldfields of South Africa. It was seen on saloon roofs in the US "wild west" and on cattle stations in the Australian outback.

The term "Tin Roofing" comes from the process of tin plating iron sheets which has been around since the 16th century.
Combine this with the invention of the rolling machine in the 1830's and a unique roofing material was created.
Soon after the coating changed to zinc and so we got galvanised iron.

So we have phrases that live on in the language and that are still in common use today like Tennessee Williams' "tin roof" and the Aussie "galvanised iron" that will be around for years to come. They are of course completely wrong when talking about modern roofing materials.

  • Tin as in corrugated tin roof has not been used since before Tennessee Williams time, but we still use the word in everyday language to talk about many things that are only remotely connected to the metal Tin.
  • The word iron as in corrugated iron is still used today, but in actual fact the roofing material has been steel for well over one hundred years.
  • The coating of some steel products with zinc in the galvanisation process is still alive and well, but in the steel roofing field it just about redundant apart from heritage work.
  • Since 1972 Galvalume ® coated steel has gradually replaced all other methods of protecting steel roofing materials.
  • Galvalume ® is a 55% Al-Zn (aluminium and zinc alloy)coated sheet steel product, which goes under various trade names around the world, depending on the manufacturer.
  • When the base sheeting is coated with the aluminium and zinc alloy only, that is no further coloured coatings, it does look similar to the old galvanised iron, but it does not have the spangled effect.

So what are the advantages of corrugated tin roofing or to use it's correct modern name roll formed steel roofing.

  • As I said previously corrugated tin roofing is not hot any more. The low thermal mass and the highly reflective coatings combined with modern roofing insulation materials give steel the edge over most other roofing products in the energy conservation field, which means less power consumption for cooling.
  • Modern steel roofing profile provide structural stiffness along the lengths of the sheets. This means that materials like ply sheathing is not required making roof framing process cheaper.
  • Steel mills are huge production factories that are few an far between, but since the invention of the roll forming process it is now possible to transport coils or the sheet material economically to small local roll forming businesses.
  • Roll forming machine can produce almost any length of sheets. The only restriction is the length of the available transport.
  • This means that most homes can now have corrugated tin roofing with no unnecessary joints.
  • The strength to weight ratio of modern corrugated tin roofing is second to no other roofing material. I live in a house that is a few hundred meters from the sea in the highest cyclonic terrain category, my family and I have been through intense hurricane force winds (cyclone Tracy 1974) and we have no doubts that our steel roofing will protect us in the event of another "big blow".

So, forget all about cats on hot corrugated tin roofs, and consider modern steel roofing if you want a cost effective, good looking, strong and cool roof.

Wicker Resin Chairs and You: What You Should Know When Buying Wicker Resin Chair

So its time to give in to temptation - you've decided to get that wicker resin chair that you've had your eye on for quite some time. You've seen it in the store, gotten several chances to sit in it and enjoy the texture and comfort that you desire from your furniture, and now its time to bring it on home for your patio. But with so many different choices and styles available, how do you know which chair is right for you? What kind of resin chair do you want to buy? What should the frame be made out of? And how can you know that you getting the best return out of your investment?

Buying a wicker resin chair doesn't have to be as much of a chore as it sounds. With the right research, and knowing what purpose you want your resin chair to serve, you too can get the best product for your needs. It is all about making sure you know what you want from your furniture set.

First off, know what you want your wicker resin chair to do. Is this going to be an indoor chair, an outdoor chair, or placed on an enclosed patio? Outdoor chairs are made out of more durable synthetic resin. The synthetic resin is weather resistant, making it able to deal with the dirt and debris better than cloth or plastic chairs. And because the resins are able to deal with the elements, your resin will last longer than many other materials when left outside. Indoor wicker chairs, however, are made out of natural resins, and plant based weave. While they can be just as comfortable, and offer an outdoors edge to the great indoors, they do not stand up to the weather. Indoor chairs need to stay indoors - otherwise, you'll find yourself with a dilapidating chair in a hurry.

Next, you need to figure out what you want to have your wicker resin chair's frame to be made out of. Two of the most popular chair frames are aluminum and bamboo. Aluminum is the best choice if you're going to keep your chair primarily outdoors during the season. Aluminum doesn't rust like other ferrous metals, and is able to deal with the elements better than bamboo. Because it doesn't rust at all, it is easy to clean - just scrub down with warm water and mild soap. Bamboo, however, can be a genuine and natural touch. Bamboo brings together a durable, flexible frame with function and style. However, because it is a natural material, bamboo does not stand up to the elements as well as aluminum. While bamboo works well as an indoor chair, it will eventually wear down faster than other materials with the constant heat and rain that the seasons can bring down.

Once you've decided on the function of your wicker resin chair, and where it is going to go, its time to decide what color you want it to come in. Many chairs offer several styles and colors to choose from, but the most popular option is plain white. If plain white doesn't do the job, you can always choose to use a non-abrasive spray paint to put it in whatever pattern or color you like. Always check with your manufacturer's guidelines before repainting your wicker resin furniture, to make sure you are doing more good than damage. Using the wrong paints can ultimately damage your resin furnishings, breaking down the resin before its time.

Purchasing the right wicker resin chair can be one of the best items you can get to enhance your outdoor patio life. But without knowing what you need, you will be spending your hard earned money on an item that will only last for half the normal life. By understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each product, you will be positioning yourself to get the best product for your dollar.

Life of a Resin Chair: The Great History of Resin

So you have decided that resin chairs are what you need to complete your patio. You've found the perfect style, the perfect color, and the perfect set to bring everything together. But do you know why resin is the perfect choice for you? Sure, it has a plastic-type feel, it cleans up very well, and it resists dirt and the elements very well. But what is your resin furnishings made of? Do you know why it fits perfectly, and why it can be a environmentally friendly choice?

Resin chars are made out of (you guessed it) resin! But what is resin? Resin is a naturally occurring compound that is extracted out of the sap of plants and trees, such as pine. It starts out as a very viscous liquid, that is very wet and malleable to the touch at first. But as time passes, the liquid begins to harden - turning quickly from a liquid to a solid. As it hardens, the sap becomes brown in color, eventually hardening.

So what were these resins originally used for? Primitive man did not have a need necessarily for resin chairs, but they certainly used it for everything from sealing their boats, to mummifying their loved ones. As our refining processes have gotten better over time, resin has been used as a key ingredient in varnish, lacquers, and other sealants. Resin has also been used as a finalizing ingredient in inks and perfumes.

However, resins have not always been quite a benefit to mankind - and primitive resins certainly weren't used as chair ingredients! Some resins contain hydrocarbons, which are flammable, and subject to explosion! Misidentifying a tree could be a major mistake for the first chemists, as what was thought to be a sealant could end up being an explosive device by accident!

As time progressed, and scientific methods improved, man found new causes for resins, eventually leading to the resin chair that we all know and love today. As technology improved, man realized that resins could be formulated out of the right combinations of chemicals. These were called polymers, and eventually lead to the discovery of synthetic resins, the base ingredients of resin chairs.

Why did man create synthetic resins, instead of harvesting it from trees? Simply put, synthetic resins are more stable than plant resins, and are more predictable and uniform as well. Resins created in a lab will retain their color better and longer, and can be made to be a better sealant than plant-based resins - without the fear of getting the wrong one and causing an explosion. Believe it or not, resins today are used in the production of many household items you use and love today - from plastics and paints, and even lacquer and varnish. Yes, resins are used in the creation of resin chairs.

Resin has been one of man's favorite compounds for thousands of years. Over time, we have learned how to harness it for our benefit for many of our favorite items. And now that you know its illustrious history, you'll be able to enjoy your resin chair even more during those long summer days.

The MENSA Manual For Patio Umbrella Operations: Everything You Wanted to Know Ab

Congratulations on purchasing your patio umbrella - may it bring you years of happiness and shade for your friends and family. And so far, you're pleased with it. It is contained in its nice, neat little folded case, and it looks rather majestic standing closed and upright.

So you have your patio umbrella, and like generations before you, you're wondering what to do with it next. Yes, its pretty, but it has to serve some sort of function, right? Doesn't it open up? And can't it tilt to block out the sun, regardless of its position? If you are like the generations before you, figuring these things out can be a harder prospect than finding Carmen Sandiego.

The best piece of advice we can give you is to open up the manual that came with your patio umbrella. As this guide serves to help you figure out how to operate your umbrella, you operating manual will give you a better guide on how everything works and operates. Consider us a helpful friend as you figure out what your umbrella does.

Now that you have your patio umbrella in hand, its time to figure out what your umbrella can and can not do. Let us start with opening your umbrella. These do not open like regular umbrellas would - instead of pushing up on the center piece to open everything, many open with either a crank or cord. The crank will be located near the center point of your vertical pole, while the cord will be dangling from the inside of the umbrella. In order to open your umbrella, turn the crank or pull the cord. To give yourself an easier time opening your umbrella, gently spread out the ribs of the umbrella. This will allow you open your umbrella with ease, instead of fighting with it. Conversely, to close your patio umbrella, turn the crank the opposite way, or pull the cord the opposite way.

Now that we have your patio umbrella open, it is time to adjust the pitch accordingly with the time of day. Many umbrellas have adjustments that will allow you to change the angle that the canopy sits at, in order to give you shade throughout the day. However, different umbrellas have different ways to adjust the pitch - knowing which yours does will save you frustration in the long run. If your umbrella has a hinge towards the top, with a button that will release the hinge, you have what is called a push-button tilt umbrella. To adjust the tilt, simply press the button, and move your canopy's position accordingly. If your umbrella's opening crank continues to turn after your umbrella is open, you have what is called a crank-tilt umbrella. Simply turn the crank until your canopy is at the pitch you desire. For those of you with a newer umbrella, you may have an adjustable collar towards the bottom of the vertical post. If you do, you have what is called a collar tilt umbrella. This is the easiest of all to adjust: from your seat near the umbrella, reach over and adjust the collar until your pitch is at the level you desire.

Before you sit back and think you have mastered the care and use of your patio umbrella, there is one more thing to consider: weighing down your umbrella so it doesn't fly away. Even with a little breeze, your umbrella can sustain damage if not properly weighted down. For most umbrellas putting down 50 pounds of weight at the base should do the job properly and efficiently. Anything less could send your canopy flying, leaving you with a broken investment.

Having an patio umbrella is as much an owner's responsibility as it is a liability. But by being educated on its functions and use, you too can be a responsible owner, and take care of your investment for years to come.

LPG Competition Commission, Measures

After investigating the competition in the LPG market, the LPG Competition Commission showed some concerns regarding the health of the competition and the role of the larger players of the market in making the competitive environment the way it is. The LPG Competition Commission proposed certain measures that can be taken for resolving the concerns and making the competition a healthier one, which would benefit not only the customers but also the smaller, new players in the market.

The LPG Competition Commission emphasised the need for a regulatory system for the LPG industry, which can determine, regulate and monitor the practices of the different LPG suppliers. This is needed because the relatively larger suppliers are using additional equipment, specifications and features that enhance their operations, and it is these additional factors that are now determining the competition in the market and putting the new entrants and smaller suppliers at a disadvantage. For this, there should be a regulatory system that can specify and define the minimum acceptance level for the different companies.

The LPG Competition Commission expressed all of its concerns in order to improve the conditions of the market, and to look out for the benefit of the customer by making the market more competent and increasing the opportunities for the new entrants in the LPG market - and also those smaller suppliers that are already present in the market.

Most of the solutions proposed were related to supplier switching, so that the customers have the opportunity to change the supplier without the fear of an ordeal in the case that they are not satisfied with the existing supplier's services. The first remedy that has been proposed is that there should be a different arrangement regarding the ownership of the tank so that the customer doesn't have to go through the process of getting another tank for the term with a new supplier.

There should be standardised process for the changeover of suppliers, and the information available to the people regarding the switching policies should be improved and the customers should have access to the knowledge related to other suppliers and the prices and deals that are offered. In this way the customers won't have to feel trapped with a supplier they're not satisfied with.

There should also be some measures related to the contracts and their terms, and the period of term with a supplier defined in the contract should not be as long as they currently are.

The LPG Competition Commission has taken some measures regarding the changeover of suppliers and specified some rules and regulations that would have to be followed from the month of April this year. A set of provisions has been defined for the suppliers, and they have to follow those provisions in case a customer wishes to switch. A limitation on the length of the contract term has also been defined, and the suppliers cannot create a contract exceeding that term. If the contract expires and the customer wishes to switch, then a written request will have to be sent to both the new supplier and the existing one.
