deck-stain

What is the best way to stain your deck? For that matter, what is the best way to stain your fence, or any other type of landscaping wood around the outside perimeters of your home? Spring is near and now is the time to start dreading, err..thinking...or even fantasizing about these great, outdoor home improvement things we can do to improve the appearance of our home's outdoor surroundings.

Last summer, I showed you how easy it was to make an old fence and wood ties look like new with an Electric Pressure Washer. Really, staining a deck is simply the 2nd part of a bigger picture: That is, restoring wood and making it look rich, colorful and as beautiful as it is supposed to be. The pressure washer strips the dirt, mold and rot from your old fence and deck to make it look like clean, new and fresh wood. A quality Wood Stain product, along with a sprayer, will not only protect and preserve your wood fence or deck, but will actually make it look quite attractive. Cabot Decking Stain is a top notch Wood Deck Stain Product. The video below will take you through the entire process of restoring your deck and making it look sensational this spring and summer. I think what impressed me most with this video was how easy it makes it all look. Below, are some good Deck Stains at reasonable pricing and the training video on Staining your Deck can be found at the very bottom: Read the rest of this entry

After I completed a somewhat less-than complimentary review on Blue Magic Headlight Lens Restorer a few months back, I received a few comments in defense of the product. A few users reported that it did a good job restoring a foggy headlight. Other reported that that they had tried another plastic restorer product or two and the BlueMagic is now their first choice in a plastic headlight polish. Yet, there are other people out there like myself who failed to get the results they wanted and were left with looking for another headlight lens repair solution or plastic restorer. Obviously different headlights are made out of different plastic materials and different headlights fog up for various reasons. Therefore, depending on the condition of your headlights or the reason they are fogged or scratched in the first place, different brands of plastic restorer products may offer varying results for different users. I thought it would be worthwhile to check out what a variety of users have to say about a few of the more popular plastic scratch removal or headlight lens restorer products that are on the market.

Cholesterol Book

If you are concerned about your cholesterol, this is the only book you will ever need. If your doctor wants to put you on cholesterol meds or is telling you that you need to watch your dietary fat intake, both you and your doctor need to read this eye-opening book by Dr. Uffe Ravnksov, MD/PHD. Trust me; most doctors need to read this book.

Fat and Cholesterol are Good For You is unlike any other Cholesterol Book - or any book at all regarding medical opinions. Unlike the thousands of other health books you will find at your book store or library, there is no personal, monetary agenda behind this one at all. While reading this book it will become obvious to you that if Dr. Ravnskov has any financial goals behind this at all, it is only to help fund the enormous amount of meticulous research required to fight one of the world’s oldest and most dangerous medical myths. Dr. Ravnskov does not want to sell you vitamins, health advice or subscriptions to a newsletter. He isn’t trying to sell you tickets to an expensive seminar or website training video. You will know from the first few pages of his book that Dr. Ravnskov is only interested in revealing the truth in order to dismantle the long-held theory that has crippled mankind’s fight against heart disease and prevented thus far, the medical industry’s finding of an actual cure. Though this book does offer some very compelling evidence as to what is the true cause of coronary disease, it is quite obvious that the primary objective of Dr. Ranvksov is to set the record straight on what does not cause heart disease:  Mainly, Dietary Fat Intake and Blood Cholesterol Levels.

Problem:

I work at a small office where no one else drinks coffee. I don’t like having to brew a cup of coffee at home and then twice more each day at the office.

Solution:

Make a big pot of coffee at home and pour the rest of the coffee into a high quality coffee thermos that retains heat and keeps it fresh.

Reality:

Thermos Review

Not all coffee thermoses are created equal. I’ve tried about 4 or 5 different brands of thermoses over the last few years. I’ve tried Insulated Coffee Thermoses, Insulated Stainless Steel Coffee Thermoses. My latest is called a, Vacuum Stainless Steel Coffee Thermos by Liquid Solutions. Below is my comparison of all of the thermoses that I’ve tried at the office in the last 6 years. Below each brand, you can compare my own experience and opinions with other user reviews. Also, you will see where you can save a few bucks by buying your next thermos online from Amazon.

Here is how I rate the following Thermoses. Read the rest of this entry

Acidophilus Pearls

As my past two articles on this topic should indicate: (Top-5 Probiotics and Best Probiotic), I am a big believer in Probiotics as a way to keep your digestive and immune system healthy. In my 7 or 8 years of experience taking probiotics or acidophilus, I have no doubt that they work, but I also have learned that they are by-no-means, all created equal. Some brands of Probiotics can be very expensive, but how can we be sure they are worth the extra money? The Align Probiotic is by far one of the most popular, but it is also among the very most expensive. I've found three others that I believe are extremely effective at subduing bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation and other IBS symptoms: Read the rest of this entry
