Today we are going to talk about the Rainbow Trout Farm in Sandy Oregon. They are closed in January and February but they open March 1st and stay open till October 31st. You can catch a fish for $1! This is a great place to take the family. A quick stop from Portland. We love it and highly recommend it!
Woodpeckers and Rapping! We don’t mean open mic night, we mean when a Woodpecker is moving in to claim his territory, Sometimes they are looking for food, or a place to nest. We have had to respond to this nuisance and we recommend getting them under control right away. They can damage wood, overhangs. They can even nest in gutters.

Today we are going to talk about a few really common home repairs. Some of these are simple and have a huge return on comfort!
– Walk through the home and replace all of the batteries in smoke alarms.
– Looks for an patch all holes in the walls and ceilings.
– Updating and replacing light fixtures.
– Seal up a leaking gutter.
– Seal up some cracks in concrete.
We hope that we may have provided some ideas to help make some easy changes to your home that will make a huge impact!
Today we are going to talk about small bathroom storage areas. you can re purpose a cart that you would use in the garage for towels and books. This is very easy to paint to match the walls and they are super handy! Another very handy thing is an over the door shoe holder. you can keep towels in this as well as other small items.
We Highly Recommend getting an energy audit of any windows that you have around the home. Under insulated windows account for more than 70% of heating loss in homes. Double and Triple pane windows can help immensely with these type of energy loss. Call us today and we can get out to inspect your windows and see what it takes to get you some warmth!
The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential… these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

Preheat a frypan on medium to medium low heat.
Butter one side of each of the slices of bread and place the buttered sides together.
On one set of bread, lay a slice of swiss cheese on the bread, then top with half of the warmed corned beef, then half of the drained sauerkraut and half of the Russian dressing.
Place the sandwich buttered side down in the frypan and top with another slice of cheese and the other side of the bread, buttered side up.

Many Home Owners do not realize that you must keep your roof clean to maintain the manufacturers shingle warranty. Depending on the tree cover you should look at getting it cleaned at least every year and maybe more with heavy tree cover. A simple treatment should be enough to get through the year.
