Lock keeps Freezing
Posted on April 22, 2008 - Filed Under building, Life | Leave a Comment
I’m glad winter is finally gone. Whenever we get really cold weather here, the deadbolt on our front door at home freezes shut and no amount of lock de-icing helps to break it. I have to take it apart from the inside dry it all out with a hair dryer and then everything [...]

It was announced yesterday that Yarmouth will be getting a new High School by 2011. The current one was built in 1951 and is in need of some renovations. After looking at the cost to renovate and expand the existing building, it was decided that an entirely new school was a better option, [...]

I’ve almost got the back ‘office’ area cleaned out. Finally, after 2 months! I’ve got too much stuff for this little store I guess. I keep saying that, but it’s true! The deal was just too good to pass up though so we’ll make do. I plan to put in a [...]

Another thing I like about this new store is that it’s nice and bright inside. I do like our color scheme where we are though, rose red walls and green pillars, but it does make things a little darker overall. The new store had been renovated about a year ago though, complete with [...]

So we’ve decided that we’re definitely going to move but the location hasn’t quite been finalized as of yet. Most likely it will be just two doors down though, where Crosby’s Florists used to be and most recently Computers R Us. After taking a look around inside, I like the overall layout. [...]

One of the biggest problems we have with this house in the winter is that all the interior doors have a large gap at the bottom of almost an inch. So even if we try to keep the heat down in most of the house, whichever room we are currently in always has a [...]

In an effort to keep our heating bill down a bit this winter, we had a set of french doors put up between the dining room & living room so now instead of having to keep 3 rooms nice & toasty, we only have to keep 1 room toasty and the other 2 can be [...]

No home theater is complete without the proper lighting. If the lights are too bright it’s hard to see the screen and if it’s too dark it’s hard to see the popcorn and furniture. Stargate Cinema can handle all your home theater lighting needs, whether you’ve just got a small room with a standard [...]

If you’re looking at having some floors redone, laminate flooring is a nice option. It doesn’t fill with dust like carpets do, and messes are much easier to clean up if something gets spilled on it. Laminate floors can be found in almost any style and is a great way to get the [...]

As seen on the Vanguard Online this morning, the municipality has broken ground on site of the new 4.89 million dollar building. Despite all the opposition from the taxpayers they have decided to not listen and not wait any longer to investigate other solutions. So, this project that started as a $2m plan has ballooned [...]

Even if you don’t work in the construction industry, it’s still a good idea to own a pair of steel toe boots. Just doing work around the house can be dangerous enough to warrant the extra protection provided by good work boots. Spend over $100 at Met Boots and they’ll ship ‘em to [...]

Even though our house was new when we moved in, the kitchen is very basic. Not enough counter space, not enough cupboards and no place to install a dishwasher. I have some ideas for an addition that would solve most of our current kitchen problems but even that pales in comparison to the [...]

Eventually we’ll get around to finishing the basement at home, my plans are to have a large rec room, laundry room and maybe a guest room. Depending on the layout though we could move the computers downstairs and reclaim that 3rd bedroom to use as a guest room. Once it’s done though [...]

If you’re like me you’re probably sitting there asking yourself, ‘What’s the BP Solar Decathlon?’ Turns out it’s a pretty cool contest of sorts which runs from October 11 until October 18, 2007. 20 University and College teams from around the world take part in the event and their goal is to [...]
