Home Improvements

When people here talk about window replacement, I have no idea what they are talking about. They say it can increase the face value of a certain house but really, how? So before this replacement replace my head, I just have to know what replacement windows are. Based on my studies and reading, these are windows that are used not to actually replace the window. It utilizes the old frame of the window and just put a better one on the front. There are many types of materials used in replacement windows and one of the common type of material used is vinyl. Most people liked the idea of having vinyl replacement windows. I guess vinyl is the next best thing when it comes to home repair and home improvement. Even my sister loves using vinyl products. Her snack bar flooring seems like it was carpeted but in fact it was made out of vinyl tiles with carpet texture. Another vinyl product that is getting more popular in the market is insulated vinyl siding. This can make your home look differently. If you want a home that looks like it was made out of wood but you don’t want the hassle of having a wood home, then this product is for you.

Moving Again

I just learned that my mom needs to move out of their place before May ends. The owner of the house will be needing their place soon. I heard they will put up a ministry there. They only have less than two months to vacate the place and move. Moving is not really easy, specially the packing part. I remember the last time they move, it was not planned. They just put all their things in a sack and off they go. I wish I was there then, I would have hired some movers to help them. You know I always plan ahead. Remember most of our things are neatly packed now, when I thought we would be moving this coming summer.

On Monday or Tuesday, I might buy a lot of moving boxes for my mom. They will start packing next week and I really wish I was there to help him. Maybe we can go home next week since it’s already Holy Week then. For sure, me and my helpers can do a lot to make their packing easier And knowing my mother, she would not throw away things that easily, she will need me for that. I am the declutter queen in our family.LOL
