Utmost Convenience and Satisfaction With Electric Garage Door Openers

It is hard to keep a manually operated garage door, especially if it is heavy to pull down and lift. If you are keeping this door type, you might feel more compelled to leave your car outside because of the effort it requires you to exert. Driving your car inside your garage would feel troublesome, so you feel forced to leave it outside your house. This is not an advisable way to store your car, especially if you are concerned about its safety. However, you should not worry because you can already depend on electric door openers. Its advanced technology would make you experience less hassles whenever you are driving your car inside and outside your garage.

Its mechanisms and features

Electric garage door openers are usually installed into garage ceilings with the use of metal brackets. Its main unit and motor is connected by a long extension that pulls on the door with the use of a specific driving mechanism. Various mechanisms you can choose from include the belt, screw, and chain drive.

A remote control or hard-wired button is used to transmit commands and signals towards the opener unit and motor. When these two parts receive signals, they work together to open or close the door. It uses infrared technology to detect if something is obscuring the area underneath it. This contributes in avoiding any untoward accident or property damage that unfastened doors could cause.

These features make an electric door opener convenient and easy to use. If you are about to enter your driveway, you do not need to get down your car and manually open your garage door. All you need to do is press a specific key in your remote control, and its main unit automatically opens the door for you.

In addition, it has a security program that can easily detect when an intruder tries to open your door. Hence, possibilities of experiencing theft or other …

Stand Alone Vs Fitted Wardrobes For Your Home

If you are in the process of choosing some wardrobes for installation in your home, you may have wondered whether you would be better off with a stand alone or a fitted model. Both types have their fair share of advantages and disadvantages, so it is a matter of comparing these with your current situation to determine which is the best choice. Begin by taking into account the following factors when making your wardrobe choice:

Space

This is the most important factor when it comes to determining what sort of wardrobes are going to best suit your home, as you need to ensure that you have enough space for it to fit.

If you have plenty of space in a room, a fitted wardrobe is going to be your best choice, as it is customizable and can be made to suit your specifications (through the inclusion or exclusion of interior storage options and cubbies).

If you have a small space in which to fit a wardrobe or your room simply was not made to fit these structures (doors, windows and sloped ceilings get in the way), a stand alone type is going to be the best choice, as they can be moved around.

Storage

For many people (especially women) this can be a top priority but, as other people are content to work with whatever storage is available to them, it becomes the second factor.

If you are simply adding to an existing cupboard space in a room, a stand alone wardrobe should be sufficient in providing this.

If the room has no storage to speak of, you are going to find that a customised fitted wardrobe offers you the best storage wayout.

Cost

Whilst this is the defining factor for many people, it should be one of the last factors for consideration, as there is no substitute for quality (but you shouldn’t have to pay an arm and a leg for it either).

If money is no object, a fitted wardrobe is going to be a good option, even though they often need to be installed by a professional, which works out to be quite costly.

If you are strapped for cash, a stand alone wardrobe will be your best choice, as they can be purchased quite inexpensively and are even available second hand.

So, what type of wardrobes are you going to choose for installation in your home? You don’t even have to restrict yourself to either fitted or stand alone – you may find that some spaces benefit from one type whilst others are definitely more suited to the other.…

The Men’s Scarf – All About The Masculine Male

Men’s Scarf… Look Great, Feel Fantastic!

The international runways shows have ended, and it looks like it is going to be a good year for men’s fashion. The trends for men seem to be leaning back to a more conservative tailored look, but the splashes of color and metallics are far from stuffy. Here is a wrap up of the must have looks for men in Spring 2009.

Conservative is Hot

Many people are being very tight with their luxury spending due to the current economic conditions. The resurgence of classic conservative styles for men means that you will be able to look trendy in spring 2009, but know that you can still wear that look and look great in seasons to come. To get this conservative yet cool look, buy tailored suits in timeless materials and patterns. Three-piece suits and double-breasted suits will truly make you look stylish and sophisticated at the office or out on the town. The trendiest cuts are meant for men that are in shape, so use this as motivation to get yourself in the gym. Wide shoulders and slim waists that flatter the natural V shape of a man were seen all over the runway-and are sure to be the hottest suits on the racks for spring 2009.

Hooray for the V

One of the hottest trends for spring 2009 is the deep V-neck shirt. On the runway the look was shown with nothing underneath. This is a great look for a twenty something man with pecks that are ridiculously defined, but the great news is that men who are a little less than perfect can still look great in a deep V. You just need to layer it with a shirt underneath. Look for lightweight sweaters and cardigans with a necklines super deep in neutral classic colors like cream, gray, and tan. Layer them with a fitted shirt in a matching color or similar hue to avoid looking like you are showing off a chest that isn’t quite worth showing. If your pecks are impeccable, dare to wear the deep V-necks solo.

Formal Inspirations

Tuxedo pieces aren’t just for black tie events anymore. 2009 is seeing pieces from formal wear paired with not-so-formal pieces for a great look to wear out of the town. Forget about the formal dress shirt, cummerbund, and bow tie. Instead look for jackets with satin lapels or the satin shawl paired with a button up that is much more casual. Satin stripes in the pants are also a great way to incorporate elements of the penguin suit into your trendy dinner suit.

Brilliant Blues

The trendy color for spring 2009 is most definitely blue. Bright blue. Exciting blue. This look can be a little tricky to pull off with taste if you aren’t careful. Too much of it and you will look like a smurf. Instead spice up a more conservative outfit with splashes of blue. Pair a dark …

Sliding Or Hinged Wardrobe Doors? (2)

More frequently asked questions I get asked about the relative merits of hinged or sliding doors on fitted wardrobes:

‘Does it matter how many sliding doors you have’

Well, obviously this will be partly governed by the overall length of the wardrobe installation. The minimum number of doors is two and I certainly discourage my fitted bedroom customers from having sliding doors on any fitted wardrobe under 1200 mm (4ft) wide, because sliding doors of floor to ceiling height but under 600 mm (2ft) width look ungainly, are harder to keep adjusted and may have a tendency to tilt if they hit an obstruction like a shoe on the track. Good quality, modern sliding wardrobe door systems have built in anti-jump devices fitted to the rollers but even these may not be enough to prevent a tall, thin door from coming off the track.

Sliding wardrobe doors are usually available in widths up to 1200 mm wide which means that with a 25 mm overlap and a build at the ends of over 25 mm a two door wardrobe is fine up to 2400 mm (8ft) wide.

A three door installation can then take you to 3600 mm (12ft) but a disadvantage of a three door set up is that with the usual twin track set up and each door representing one third of the overall width; you will have two thirds of the total opening with plus two 25 mm overlaps on one side of the track; thereby limiting the access to the wardrobe interiors at any position to one third less 50 mm. Also, if the wardrobe is shared by two people, one person will have to wait their turn when accessing the wardrobe at the same time. This issue disappears with a four door arrangement as access is available to half the wardrobe (less 75 mm) and that half can be split in two, thereby allowing each party 25% access to use on their half at will. sliding door wardrobes of over four doors in width are unusual but at five or even six door widths the ability to share the access improves.

Only three door wardrobes tend to lead to domestic disharmony in the mornings but it is an issue worth bearing in mind.

Why is a Clothes Swap the Best Way to Refresh Your Wardrobe?

Do you go through your wardrobe at the beginning of each season mumbling to yourself that you have got nothing to wear? The chances are that you have got plenty to wear but you just don’t want to wear it. The reason that you don’t want to wear it is that you are bored with it, perhaps it doesn’t fit very well and never has done or perhaps you just want the feeling of having something new. A clothes swap can solve all of these problems and what is more it is eco friendly, frugal and fun.

Each time you rush to the shops to by a seasons worth of new clothes, that at the end of the season you will throw away because you are bored of them, you are creating damage to the environment. Not only are you creating unnecessary waste which is likely to contribute to the growing problem of landfill in the UK but you are also increasing the environmental impact associated with clothing manufacture. Synthetic textiles in landfill do not break down and so remain in the ecosystem. Dyes and chemical finishes can also wash out with rain water into the water systems. Even natural textiles cause environmental problems. When they break down they create methane which is a powerful green house gas. There are a variety of other issues associated with the manufacture of new clothes including pesticide pollution and carbon footprints. By swapping clothes you can help to reduce all of these.

We all have the occasional spend up in the shops. More often than not because we want that feeling of having something new and not because we really need it. Just think how you would feel at the end of the month when your credit card bill fluttered onto your doormat instead of landing with a very ominous thump. Arranging or attending a clothes swap is a really enjoyable way to spend an evening or afternoon without spending any money. I can be just as fun as shopping without the debt, guilt and overspending that can often accompany a shopping trip. In fact it is even more fun than shopping as you can try out new looks and styles of clothes without any risk. If you decide that you don’t like something that you have swapped you can always swap it again at another event or on a website.

So there really is no better way to refresh your wardrobe without damage to the environment and your wallet. Swapping is the ultimate guilt free alternative to shopping.…

The Look of Success – A Personal Journey – Wardrobe Planning

They wouldn’t build a house without a blueprint, hit the road to a new ski resort without a map, make their first visit to Barcelona without a guidebook or even, in these days of H&G TV, move furniture without a floor plan. And yet, again and again, the number of people, both men and women, who overlook the importance of a wardrobe plan, surprises me.

These are the same folks who would mark the map to Mount-Magical-Skiing with gas stations and highlight the best tapas bars in Barcelona – but off they go on a shopping spree, minus a plan.

Wardrobe planning is done systematically and strategically. Before beginning to build a client’s wardrobe plan, there needs to be a strong foundation in place. The starting point is the client’s body proportions, personal style and colour palette.

Liz had reached this stage on her journey and was ready to move forward. In preparation for our third meeting, I gave Liz a copy of my comprehensive Wardrobe Planning Guide. Although some client’s prefer that I make a “house-call” for this part of the consultation, Liz expressed a newfound confidence about what worked for her; she was ready to tackle her closet.

The following week, she arrived back at the office with her suitcase and my editing process began:

o Group 1: Keepers

o Group 2: Alterations Department

o Group 3: Pass-alongs for her sister

o Group 4: Goodwill donations

Liz’s wardrobe was minimal, so we had to build a plan that would allow her to introduce new pieces on a monthly basis. Since Liz and her partner are saving for a house, it was imperative that her foundation pieces be:

o Versatile – appropriate for varied situations

o Easy to mix and match

o Simple, understated – so she could use accessories to change their looks and moods.

The actual plan would be quite compact, but before committing it to paper we discussed a few basic guidelines:

o Discipline – and the importance of sticking to the plan

o Focus – find key pieces, accept no substitutes

o Impulse purchases – strictly off-limits

o Trend management – avoiding fads

o Splurging – when it makes sense

o Last minute shopping – past history

o Bargains – are they or aren’t they?

Soon, it would be time to put the plan to work, but before we hit the stores, Liz had a few words:

“I really didn’t want to show DC my wardrobe. After going through my closet I was embarrassed – most items didn’t look like they belonged to a young professional. Once I got past my initial feelings, I buckled down and concentrated on understanding how to select the essential building blocks that would form the core, or as DC calls it my ‘survival wardrobe.’ The best part is, I’m enjoying the process – it really is a journey.”

Tool Holders – Great For Any Handyman

Tool holders can be a great convenience in any work shop. They are easily hung up on the wall, and depending on size, can be used to hold just about anything you would need to use on a regular basis. While they do not completely replace toolboxes, if you work in a single area and do not like having to dig through a box every time you need something they can be a breath of fresh air.

Most people simply think of carrying toolboxes around everywhere they go, and this is the standard, but there are more options. Tool belts are far more convenient for the construction worker, and tool holders are much more convenient for the person looking to do some stationary work at home. Over the years, they have become a staple of the at-home workshop or in the garage.

There are quite a few different types to consider. Your standard tool holder have holes to place the hammer, wrench, screwdrivers, and other types of long tools, but they do not do much for others. There are models available these days that have small shelf-like areas that allow holding for much smaller items, which can make it easier to hold nails or screws, or just smaller precision tools. This can be a great relief to the do-it-yourselfer who is sick of digging through their toolbox every time they need a screw or nail.

There are also varieties that are much more simple and rather are simply pegs coming out from the base on the wall. These simply hold up medium-sized tools and makes it easy to pull them off and use them. This style has become far less common over the past few years, but can be less of an eyesore than the other varieties to choose from.

A type that is a far variation from the old standards is not on the wall at all, but rather sits stationary on the work station. These hold the tools upright or flat and often have more than enough compartments to hold anything needed. This variety can be affordable, but they are often passed over because they take up valuable work station space — however, they are a good option for someone who does not want to nail through their wall.

Something as simple as a station to hold tools would not seem like all that big of a deal initially, but there are several choices available on the market today. Tool holders are more versatile than they have ever been, and they are only growing in size and functionality. Any workstation that does not have at least one of these holders somewhere is not a true workstation — it is just a shed or a garage.…

Shopping For a Corner Wardrobe

When space is limited, all kinds of interesting and convenient furniture pieces can come into play. One such piece of furniture is the corner wardrobe which can quickly become a life savior if you are looking for more storage space for clothing, linens, or accessories in your bedroom. Even if you already have a small closet in your room, a wardrobe armoire can help you get more organized. You can find small corner wardrobes designed to fit garments on hangers and also containing a few drawers below for folded garments or accessories such as jewelry and purses. You can also find many are quite large and contain mirrors and hooks where you can hang your belts, chains, and other accessories.

Shopping for a new wardrobe closet is tricky because most furniture and department stores don’t necessarily have a large selection. It is likely that you will not find what you need at a local store. If this is the case, it is best for you to do a thorough online search for what you are looking for. Online you will find the greatest selection and also be able to compare prices between various companies and products. Once you find a size or style that best fits your needs, you can then search solely for the brand or style of wardrobe it is.

Size is a major consideration because you will need to make sure you have the space that is necessary to not only house the wardrobe but also access the contents easily and quickly when needed. A single door wardrobe is the ideal size for a single person but it will contain a door or doors that swing out rather than slide like on a larger unit. The swinging doors will need plenty of clearance space for access. A larger armoire is a good idea if you already have more clothing than storage space and especially if you plan to constantly add more pieces to your inventory.

A corner wardrobe is ideal in tight spaces where a corner is available that would otherwise be wasted space. The corner unit usually contains a little more storage space than a single unit. You can however find large units that are also intended for a corner but you will have to read the details pertaining to the dimension carefully before you buy to ensure that you have the space available for the unit and the swinging of the doors.…

Troubleshooting Common Garage Door Malfunctions

What in the world is wrong with that crazy garage door now? Do you ever feel this way, wondering what more can go wrong with your garage door or opener and being clueless as to how to fix the problem? These doors are out in all weather conditions and can take hard use, so it’s no wonder that they develop problems. In addition, a door opener unit contains a multitude of electronic parts that can start to malfunction. It’s no wonder that door owners are confused when it comes to diagnosing their operating issues. Here are some tips for fixing some of the things that most commonly go wrong.

What if your remote doesn’t work? If you can open the door using the keypad or a different remote, then you know that your problem is within the remote itself. Before you do anything else, try changing the batteries. If that doesn’t get you going again, check the program. Using your user’s manual, follow the instructions to reprogram the codes. If this still doesn’t work, you may just need to bite the bullet and buy a new remote. Chances are good that it has some type of defect that isn’t worth trying to fix.

You may find a time when your door either won’t open or it makes horrible noises while doing so. What these symptoms may mean is that there is something clogging the tracks, or the tracks need to be lubricated. This problem has an easy fix. Clean the tracks thoroughly and then lubricate them well.

What if your garage door won’t open no matter what you try? When remotes, indoor buttons, and keypads don’t work, then the problem may be in the opener’s motor. Check to see if your opener has power running to it and if the motor seems to be operating. Check the tracks for debris that might be impeding the operation of the door. If you can’t find anything that’s wrong, you’ll probably need to have a professional take a look at it.

Another common problem can be if a garage door wants to open or close without you telling it to. It’s possible that someone in your area has a remote that is programmed to your exact frequency. This can be remedied by changing your code. Otherwise, the problem may lie in the wiring or the transmitters. There may be shorts that are causing the malfunctions. Try replacing the batteries in the transmitters to see if that will stop this from happening. If not, you may need to replace your opener.…

Walk In Wardrobes Vs Free Standing Wardrobes – Some Considerations

If you’ve plenty of space in your bedroom, you should think about installing a walk in wardrobe. They are fairly easy to construct (simple ‘stud’ walls are the basis) or can be bought ready-made, or installed by a specialist company. Whichever you choose, give good consideration to using all the available space, including the entrance way into the wardrobe, and even the space above the door (assuming there is one). An open-plan walk-in wardrobe is a real ‘wow’ in any bedroom, but is really only for those with lots and lots of room.

Inside your walk-in wardrobe, the walls can be fitted with all sorts of storage areas: tie and shoe racks, shelves, drawers and both short and long hanging areas. Lighting is essential; try and position the wardrobe so it gets as much ambient light as possible, but you’ll probably need to supplement with spot lighting – very effective as well as being very stylish.

With a standalone or fitted wardrobe, be aware that their long doors can be very imposing – this might be an undesired effect. Wardrobe doors’ impact can be softened by replacing their panels with areas of pleated cloth, creating an armoire effect. Or you could replace expanses of wardrobe doors’ wood with a lattice, some fretwork or a grille. Then, the backs of the doors can be lined with an attractive fabric.

Wardrobes are large objects, and will always vie for attention with a bedroom’s other big piece, the bed. The design of both therefore should be complementary. A battle raging in the bedroom between the two is never pretty.

Most bedroom wardrobes have either hinged or sliding doors. Doors that aren’t decorated in any way create smooth lines and clean, clear expanses. In a contemporary setting this can work very well indeed, where uninterrupted lines are attractive. If your bedroom’s style is more ‘period’ however, it’s a good idea to break up those lines either by decoration, use of fabrics or choosing hinged doors that open in sections. The eye will therefore be able to dwell on detail, rather than be swept away by an uncluttered finish.

Walk in wardrobes are costly; perhaps the cheapest way to store clothes is with a standalone wardrobe. However, cheap does not necessarily mean a compromise in quality. There are of course limitless wonderful contemporary designs that would be a positive asset to any bedroom.

Consider the siting of your wardrobe: does it really need to go in your bedroom at all? It’s only since Victorian times that we’ve shared our bedrooms with our clothes. Previously it was thought very unhygienic to sleep in the same space as our clothes. Wardrobes were placed, if not in separate dressing rooms, on the landing outside the bedchamber. Having a wardrobe upstairs on the landing made aesthetic sense too, as its proportions were better suited to the landing and stairwell than to a smaller bedroom.…

Top Advantages of Using Wardrobe Sliding Doors

Showers and toilets, laundry or utility rooms, and wardrobes or armoires all have one thing in common: they are freestanding walled spaces that are often cramped and could surely use more room for storage. That is why one other thing they have in common are space-saving openings, ones that might slide sideways and eliminate any need for floor space for conventional openings swung backward or forward. Wardrobe sliding doors are indeed as space-efficient as a closet bi folds doors, wherein a single unit consists of many panels folding in pairs like garage accordion doors, but perhaps more attractive.

One popular type of wardrobe sliding doors, called bypass doors, comprise two panels that slide along two parallel support tracks, usually in either direction so that they appear to bypass or overlap each other when seen from the front. The other popular type, called pocket doors, make use of two panels that slide all the way into concealed pocket or compartment in the wall. Either type is available on sale at comparably cheap prices. Sometimes only one panel glides and the other is anchored.

The track system typically contains steel rollers to which the panels are affixed. In an upper track system, the sliding panels are hung from an overhead track. Since the track is designed to defy gravity by propping the panels up, it needs no equivalent bottom track for support. The drawback is not all panels are light enough to be propped up. In a floor track system, the sliding panels rest on a bottom track, and obviously, can be of any weight. The trouble is, with weight pulling the panels down, an equivalent overhead track is needed to keep them in place.

Wardrobe sliding doors are easy to install, with panels that may be glass, stainless steel or wood faced. Panels frames and tracks as well as hinges, ball bearings and other such as hardware may be stainless steel, PVC or aluminum material, which do not need to be lubricated and resist corrosion, so they are easy to maintain. Sliding entranceways truly marry function and form as they are also used as veranda and patio doors, for the swimming pool area or building lobby.…

Unique Garage Doors

You might have heard a lot about unique garage doorways out there. Doors with a fabulous design that nobody has ever seen before in his or her life. Or doors that are so old, that you could label them antique. Now you have been always dreaming that maybe one day, sooner or later, you might be able to own one of those garage gates. Perhaps you are even one of those persons that really like garage doors and don’t care about the price of them. So basically you will soon go out there and try to buy yourself a new door for your garage that will be unique. But there are a few flaws with this strategy. Because you will need to know that such garage doorways can be very expensive if they are unique or even antique so be aware!

So if you are dreaming to get such a door, you might have to spend tons of money on it, so don’t just daydream all day, try to be realistic, so you don’t spend too much time thinking about the car port entrance you would desire. Rather be realistic and try to get the car port entry which you can actually afford.

What is a Walkthrough Door or Pedestrian Door for a Garage Door?

Did you realize that a huge percentage of people use their garage door as the main door to their home? It’s true. What often happens is that people want to have a garage door installed, and after they do, they find that it is much easier to hit a button to open the door than it is to get out, go around, and enter into the main doorway. There are, however, a number of reasons why this is something that you might not want to do constantly. Many homes install a walkthrough door, or a pedestrian door, in their garage as an alternative option.

It can be hard to understand what a pedestrian door looks like, though, when you haven’t seen it, and there are many who have never even heard of such a thing. A pedestrian door is a door that is built right into the main garage door. It allows you to go into the garage without having to enter through any other door, and it is actually a great way to save yourself a lot of money.

What do you do whenever you open the garage door? You let the air into the garage. This might not be something that you think about, but it should be. Whenever you let air into the garage, you are essentially heating up, or cooling down, the garage. Garage openers take anywhere from 20 to 30 seconds to open, and then another 20 or 30 to close. The opening is large enough that it makes it simple for a vast amount of air to get into the garage. This can cost you hundreds of dollars a year in heating and cooling costs, especially if you work in your garage frequently and need to keep it a specific temperature.

A walkthrough door is a door that makes it easy for people to stop using the garage door as the main entrance. It’s easier to get to because it is right where the garage door is, so that your guests do not have to walk around the long way to get into your house, and yet it saves you money, as the opening is just a regular sized door opening, so not a great deal of air is let into the garage when the walkthrough door is opened.

If you’re someone who uses your garage to tinker in, a huge amount of space can be saved when you’re using a pedestrian door, as you could literally lock your garage door down and just use the pedestrian door. And because the wear and tear on the garage door is reduced, the life of the door is extended a huge amount, saving you even more money. A walkthrough door or a pedestrian door is a great way to get the most use out of your garage door, especially if you use your garage quite often and would like to save money.…

Meeting rooms and workspaces …

When dealing with water damage, time is of the essence. Water is typically invisibly destructive, and the longer it is left to work its magic, the worse it will become. Time and money are valuable in water damage restoration, so getting the repairs done right away is essential. If you wait too long, you could have more severe problems and even more costly repairs. Fortunately, there are many ways to minimize the damage and save yourself money in the long run.

Water damage mitigation

Aside from the damage caused by flooding, water loss can be prevented with a water mitigation strategy. This includes removing standing water, salvaging contents, tarping off affected areas, and repairing structural problems. Water mitigation can be done with the help of a commercial-grade truck-mounted water extraction system, which can be portable. Water damage mitigation can also be done in conjunction with restoration, which involves restoring a structure to its pre-loss condition.

If you are experiencing a flood in your home, it is the last thing you want. Imagine your family gathering interrupted by a burst pipe or HVAC system. There is no better way to ruin a family get-together than to have a flood in your home. In addition, if your sump pump fails, you could end up in a flooded basement. Luckily, there are some things you can do yourself to minimize the damage, such as hiring a water restoration and mitigation company.

Water restoration

The first step in restoring water-damaged properties is removing standing water and all soft materials. Once that is done, water restoration will begin, restoring the property to its pre-loss state. The amount of repair required will depend on the level of damage, but usually involves dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the area. If necessary, the company may cut out drywall or carpet padding to prevent further damage. Finally, antimicrobials will be applied to avoid its growth if mold or mildew is a concern.

Once the water has been removed, water restoration professionals will need to assess the extent of the damage and decide what needs to be replaced. If building materials are damaged beyond repair, they will need to be removed and replaced. This can be an efficient way to dry the property, especially if you have structural damage. If you have any decorative items in the damaged area, it would be wise to remove them. Water damage restoration services should include this process since removing damaged materials is essential to restoring the home or business to its pre-loss state.

Cost of water damage restoration

How much does water damage restoration cost? It depends on several factors, including the type of water damage and the size of the affected area. Additionally, the type of water damage and the color of the water will affect the price. In addition, some sites will require mold removal and reconstruction. The more extensive the injury, the higher the cost. But, there are steps homeowners can take to keep the costs down. In this …

Style on a Budget

While most of us would love to have Carrie Bradshaw’s walk-in wardrobe, the reality is not everyone has access to an unlimited wad of cash, nor the wardrobe space. With the world of fashion constantly changing, most just wouldn’t know where to begin. And so, more often than not, our best option is to make the most of our current wardrobe until we are ready for some serious retail therapy. Even with life’s conflicting priorities and personal responsibilities, our ultimate wardrobe may still be out of reach.

Our natural instinct is to sometimes just ‘shop’ to fill the gap in our wardrobe. Whether you shop at Target or have a taste for haute couture, anyone can look stylish on a budget. And let’s be frank, not everyone can afford the luxe tag price every season.

So in the interim, here are some tips to make the most of creating a winning wardrobe without busting the bank and giving your plastic card a workout.

• Shop from your closet: Re-visit old favourites or something you haven’t worn or paid much attention to in a while. Try them on and mix it with your new favourites, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

• Get Creative: Changing buttons can transform an old jacket in a flash. Even dyeing an old top can give it a new lease of life.

• Accessorise: By adding a scarf, a brooch or stacking up on your bangles or strings of necklaces, a drab outfit can be given the ‘WOW’ factor.

• Trash n’ Treasure: Shop at flea markets or do a clothing ‘swap’ with your girlfriends – one person’s trash is another woman’s treasure.

• High & low: if you are lucky enough to have some designer pieces, mix it with high street pieces so you are not a walking designer billboard. Punctuate your style with some personal pieces.

• Cover up: a suit jacket can quickly spruce up a simple outfit and will give it a polished look.

• If the shoe fits: If you have a favourite pair of shoes that still look fantastic, why not add some accessories, which you can purchase online or make yourself.

• Cut it out: If you have an old pair of jeans that you just can’t bear to throw out, why not turn them into shorts. Denim is a classic look and you’ll still get a wear a for a couple of seasons.

• Be neat: There’s something to neat and filed nails, good skin and healthy glow that completes an outfit. Good personal hygiene is a must and non-negotiable.

Command respect and get ready to turn heads and empower your style. Make the most of what you have and get creative.…

What To Wear To an Interview – Men

If you’ve spent weeks, even months, landing a meeting with a potential employer, you don’t want to make a fashion faux pas by deviating from the traditional interview attire for men. If you want to wear jeans and ratty t-shirt or the latest cutting-edge fashions from Milan, fine – just do it somewhere else! Knowing what to wear and what not to wear on your big day will help you make the right first impression – that hopefully scores you the job!

Pretty much without exception, a suit is the standard men’s wear for an interview. Choose a dark colored suit such as a charcoal gray or navy blue – black will probably look too much like a tuxedo! A light pin stripe is acceptable on your suit, but an all over pattern, such as a plaid, is just way too loud! You’ll be remembered, but not in a good way. As for the style and fit of your suit, the jacket should be tailored without being too snug and the sleeves should show approximately A�” of your dress shirt peeking out from underneath. Select a traditional two or three button suit and leave your four-buttoned or double-breasted suit at home.

As for your shirt and tie, a white button-down shirt in 100-percent cotton conveys the most conservative image but ivory and light-blue shirts are also popular. Both point and spread collars are fine for the interview. Guys often pick ties to reflect their personalities – splattered with fishes for the angler, decorated with golf balls for the golfer and so on. This is way too much information for the interview, just stick with a silk tie with a traditional pattern such as stripes, checks or dots. When tying your neck tie, it should read to the top of your waistband or belt buckle without hanging down further.

Shoes for the interview should be dark such as black, oxblood or brown and should preferably lace up – loafers are too casual for an interview. Socks should complement and blend in with the suit, no one wants to see a blinding flash of white between your shoe and pant cuff. Limit the jewelry you wear to simply a wedding ring and possibly a low-profile pair of cufflinks – no earrings, bracelets, necklaces, etc. Also avoid heavy cologne because it may become overbearing in a small office space.

To summarize, your image on interview day should say “I’m the best guy for the job.” If you need to learn about the corporate culture to determine precisely what to wear, visit the company web site or find out from a buddy who works there. Dress for success by wearing for the position you aspire to – that way you’ll look the part, reflect who your resume says you are, and become more likely to get hired!…

The Warning Signs Which Point to Garage Door Problems

Contrary to the complacent belief of most homeowners, garage doors are not immune to problems. Usually we take them for granted, because they are quite durable, and we use them for many years. When a breakdown does occur, it often comes as a shock, and at a time that is most inconvenient, for example, on the morning that you’re already late for work and the door refuses to open. In order to keep a garage door crisis from happening in your life, there are some telltale clues that you need to watch for that will let you know in advance that something is going wrong.

1. One of the most common garage door problems is the result of failure to keep the working mechanisms properly lubricated. The problem can manifest itself as a squeaking sound as the door opens or closes, and it’s usually caused by dry rollers, tracks, or bearings. It’s a problem that can generally be averted by keeping these items oiled before they totally dry out. A bit of preventive maintenance can save you big repair bills later on.

2. It may be that your door isn’t closing properly the way it did when it was new. This can happen so gradually that you may not even notice it if you aren’t watching for possible problems. Usually, you’ll find some type of obstruction that isn’t allowing the door to close as it should, but it can also be indicative of a broken cable or a damaged cable pulley which may mean it’s time to call in the professionals.

3. If your opening or closing garage door starts making a scraping sound, it could mean that your cable has gotten worn and needs to be replaced. It can also mean that your reinforcement strut is no longer even or that it has become out of position in some way. If you are unable to figure out what is causing the sound and how to fix it, once again you should consider calling a garage door professional.

4. Sometimes your door can begin moving much more sluggishly than it once did. This is another problem that can sneak up on you, because it happens so gradually. This can be attributable to the springs that operate the door being worn out. You want to catch this condition early so that you can have the springs replaced before one of them snaps. The snapping of a tension spring can be dangerous.

Garage door problems don’t happen every day, but they do come about slowly, over time, because of daily wear on the door and its parts. Having regular preventive maintenance done on your door and mechanisms is the best way to ensure that something more major isn’t going to go wrong somewhere down the line.…

If you live in a modestly-spaced home like many of us, or you happen to live in a part of the world where accommodation is very expensive (forcing people to live in small houses relative to the number of people living in them), this will be a huge issue.

By this stage, your family upkeep cost will compete for every available penny you have and moving to a bigger house may not be that easy for you. Either way, you are stuck with having to navigate your way through a lot of stuff in your bathroom, kitchen, living room, garage, everywhere. Wow!

If you have space constraints in your home, there is an excellent way to deal with the problem. The solution? Try making use of steel storage racks.

In the bathroom, you can make a few stainless steel racks in the form of wire baskets inside the bathroom closet.
