Dr Copa Scrip for Success

Although we have become pretty much a disposal society, I tend to try and fix and repair things that I have purchased rather than just tossing them out, which fills up our landfills and keeps the big business guys raking in the big bucks. I would much rather take my shoes and other footwear to the local shoe repair shop which is a great little mom and pop business that is struggling to keep there doors open, which just breaks my heart. Since Walmart came to town we have all seen way too many small businesses going out of business and we all need to do what we can in order to keep more good folks employed by someone else other than Wally World.

So when I noticed that our outdoor furniture is looking pretty shabby I decided to try and find patio chair repair business that could help with our outdoor furniture repair concerns. Luckily it only took a few minutes by using the Internet to locate a reputable company that will hopefully come to our rescue. We have worked very hard for several years to get our front, side and back yard looking good and to become a place that we can kick back to relax as well as a place that we can entertain during the nice weather days that we are blessed with having throughout the year. We really lucked out this winter and so far spring has been most excellent as well. I sure hope we continue to be blessed during the summer and fall months, but something tells me that that would be pushing our luck just a tad much.

It would really be nice if I could find some one who could help get that darned old hot tub out back up and running again. It is so old that it has become a challenge finding replacement parts for what it needs to be used and enjoyed once again. There is nothing like sitting in a nice hot tub and letting these old bones get a good soaking and letting those tense muscles relax after a hard day of work.

The wife has been after me for some time to get our backyard up to speed with an outdoor kitchen, a pond with a waterfall and various other goodies that would be a perfect get-a-way and great for entertaining as well. We have seen some pretty nice backyards these past couple of years at some of our friends houses and I agree that it would be awesome.

We love spending time outdoors and we do have a pretty decent set up all ready. We have a hot tub on order that should be arriving any day now. We both have been wanting a hot tub for some time now and are really looking forward to using it as often as we can.

She (the wife) all ready has the Outdoor Bar Stools picked out that she would love to buy and put back there that she found online and sent me the link to, not bad looking if I say so myself. But bar stools would be the easiest of all the tasks that lay ahead with all that she is dreaming of having me to do out there.

There is just something about the concept of rain harvesting that really appeals to me, so I have been looking around at various rain barrels for sale using the Internet for all that it is worth. We have all ready been told that since we didn’t have much snow this winter that we will be experiencing a water shortage this summer which will be a real pain in the rear for the whole community that really takes their luscious looking landscaping seriously.

From what I hear rain barrels are making a come back and I for one am jumping on the band wagon along with all the others that are going to do what they can to keep some of the rain that comes now work for us later when we need it. Rain barrels have come a long way. They are made in various shapes and sizes and not only made out of wood like the ones that were used back in the day. You might want to consider checking them out as well and see if you have a desire to harvest some of the precious water that we all take for granted all year round.

It seems that whitehall address plaques are all the new rage around the surrounding neighborhoods around here. This local effort started happening a few years ago when an elderly couple both lost their lives in a house fire that most likely could have been saved if they had only had one of the residential address plaques that are easy to locate and read. The emergency personal had a difficult time finding the exact house, which delayed them and made the whole situation a worse nightmare than any of us would have liked to experience.

Now a days there are so many options that make having personalized address plaques a much easier task than in previous years. And when you consider how important it is to have your address visible we all need to take a second look and make sure that this doesn’t happen to anyone else, anywhere.

Spring is just around the corner!  I just can’t wait to get outside and do some walking and smell Mother Nature! I noticed just the other day just how many birds have started to come back from their winter homes.

The trees are starting to bud, the days are getting longer and longer, the air smells fresh, and all the little flowers are starting to pop up through the ground. It’s been an amazing winter, makes me wonder what summer has in store for us.
