During winter, Detroit also suffers from gale force winds that eventually results into days-long power outage. Mother Nature decides to complicate things a little further with freezing temperatures. Homeowners fear that their pipes will freeze and emergency plumbers are overwhelmed with calls for assistance.

Last March, more than half a million homes and businesses in Metro Detroit experienced power outage. Weather forecasters gave a warning that temperatures are expected to stay near or below the freezing point throughout the weekend. Being without power is challenging enough for most households and with the cold weather;they fear that their pipes will freeze. The anxiety is increased when homeowners cannot connect to emergency plumbing providers.

There are some simple solutions to avoid the worst case scenario of burst pipes. When there is a power outage, the heating system may not work. You should open all the cabinets that house the pipes particularly those along the outside walls of the home. Leave the cabinet doors open so that warm air throughout the house will flow into the bottom of the cabinet.

If the pipes freeze, it is still okay but not when they burst. The homeowner has a very big problem if the pipe splits and the water thaws. The end result will be a flooded home. Emergency plumbers suggest easy solutions to thaw the frozen pipes before they burst. You can apply heat by wrapping a warm rug around the pipe. Hair dryers can also be used while waiting for emergency plumbing assistance.

During the power outage, one of the first things you should do is to unplug all appliances and electronics. Wait until the power comes back before you plug them on because power surge can be damaging to your appliances and electronics.

Posted by BethGMartin on Jun 15, 2017 in Business, Tips | 0 comments

A property investment involves buying a property such as condos, townhouses, lots, buildings and other types of real estate properties and have them rented as part of an investment. To make your property work for you and for you to reap profitable Rental Return Investment, take a look at these tips.

Look for long term renters

One way to get a sure return of investment on your property is to look avoid vacancy by accepting long term renters rather than those who will only stay for a month of two. Getting a steady monthly rent reduces the need for you to advertise the property to attract new tenants including the need to do some repairs or unit clean up after the last short term tenant left the property. The moment you get a long term renter, make the property more comfortable for him to encourage him to stay so for you to get more from your Rental Return Investment. It would also be best to invest in a property that has high demand for occupancy such as along stunning beaches in Thailand or areas that are frequented by those who want long term stay in a seemingly paradise location.

Gradually increase your rent

Before you increase your rent, make sure that your tenants understand the reason behind the increase. In as much as you want to keep them, you also have to increase the rent to keep up with HOA, utilities, taxes and maintenance for the property. Most renters would not really mind the minimal increase so long as it is clear to them why you need to increase the rent and also, moving to a new property would be more costly on their part so most often than not, they will prefer an increase rather than a one-time, high expense for moving.

Handle late fees properly

Bids For Port High Furniture Came In As Expected

Posted by BethGMartin on Jun 12, 2017 in Education | Comments Off on Bids For Port High Furniture Came In As Expected

The School Board for the Port Washington-Saukville High School has agreed on a budget for the furnishing of the school’s new academic wing. The decision was made sometime early last May, a few weeks before the scheduled completion of the construction of the new wing.

The high school furniture budget, which was valued at $283,000, was decided upon by the Board following discussions with school administrators and Bray Architects, the firm responsible for designing the more recent renovations to the high school, after they analyzed bids for the furniture of the new wing, which totaled in at about $258,000 for 1,457 pieces of furniture. The administrators asked the board to add an additional 10% to the value appraised as a contingency for the budget, to which the Board agreed.

School Superintendent Michael Weber described the furniture as comfortable, but not to the extent that students would find themselves falling asleep.

Principal Eric Burke commented that the chairs, which were simple and ergonomic, were designed to correct the sitter’s posture, forcing the students sitting on them into the perfect posture

Designers from Bray Architects made selections for furniture, submitting three options to the school’s administrations, who decided on a design with the help of teachers and students from various departments, who tested out the furniture.

The school’s officials are also considering working on the Washington Heights building, on the northeast end of the school.  This building holds the school’s communications and social studies classrooms, and have yet to receive an update on furnishing, same as the new areas for the new academic wing, such as the cafeteria, and music rooms, that will be built as part of the project’s second phase.

The fund set for the tackling the cost of high school furniture in the referendum plan sat at $370,000, but officials of the school, such as Jim Froemming, Director of Business Services, are fully aware that that would not be enough to cover it all. The Board, however, has given its approval with using fund balance to make up the cost.

The furniture is expected to arrive sometime this August, and installed and ready for use in classes by the time they start this Fall.

Customizing A Moto Guzzi Motorbike

Posted by BethGMartin on Jun 12, 2017 in Business, Lifestyle | 0 comments

Have you ever wondered where MGX – 21 Flying Fortress got its name? Galuzzi and the people from Piaggio who are owners of Moto Guzzi, Aprilia and Vespa created a getaway machine for future motorcyclists and simplified the name. MG means Motto Guzzi while X refers to something that is unique. 21 represents the front rim and tire with the carbon –fibre inner cover. MGX – 21 is based on shaft-driven California 1400.

The MGX – 21 Flying Fortress was displayed at the 76^th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and the response was overwhelming. Even the riders of Harley-Davidson to Indian to Victory were complimenting the design. The common consensus was positive – the design is bold and unique. In nearly every conversation, you will hear about the blacked-out carbon fibre and red accents and the cylinder heads and Brembo brakes. The Flying Fortress certainly lived up to the Galuzzi name.

A turbo-charged moto guzzi dustbin racer was the recent result of the efforts of US-based Craig Rodsmith, the brand behind the Rodsmith motorcycles. A moto guzzi motorbike was his latest project. The moto guzzi racer was reshaped and decked out in hand-formed aluminum. Its balanced 950cc engine was hooked up to a lightened flywheel to achieve quicker throttle response.

The blow through turbo system by designed and built by Rodsmith himself using two sealed pressurized 36mm delortos. You can also find a small low-pressure fuel pump under the tank that is regulated in order to maintain about one pound over boost pressure.  The stainless steel exhaust was designed by Rodsmith to run smoothly over the top of the engine to feed the turbo.

The only parts that Rodsmith sought help for were the custom-made shocks by super shox and the hand-sewn leather seat. Rodsmith’s 40 years of experience in bike metal work made it easy for him to hand form the tank, seat, dash and statement fairing.

If you are searching for Moto Guzzi California for sale in UK, there are dealers who have gained a good reputation for outstanding service in East Anglia. A huge collection of new and quality used motorcycles are being offered for competitive prices.
