A new trend in home remodeling that is gaining in popularity are “revamping kits.” Utilizing one of these kits allows homeowners the chance to refinish their kitchen countertops, cabinets and appliance faces and can turn a drab kitchen into a brand new elegant environment with very little effort. These makeover options don’t have to break the bank.
For instance, granite is a number one choice for countertops but with high-end prices like $110 a square foot it’s not always practical to outfit a big kitchen. Instead, a granite paint kit can provide outdated counters with a new look for as little as $70.00. Every one of these kits comes with all the primer, mineral paints and applicators along with a DVD instructional program to guide you through the steps. This same approach can be taken with your cabinets by using something like Nuvo Cabinet paint. With this revamping kit, you don’t have to use any type of primer. Just apply two even coats of the unique blend of paint and your cabinets will look like brand new.
When you save money this way, you’ll be able to invest in an appliance upgrade such as a new fridge, stove or dishwasher. Replacing your old appliances will not only help you run a more efficient kitchen but you’ll also be saving money in the long run. That’s because all of the new models of kitchen appliances have been EnergyStar rated. You’ll see the difference this can make on your very next electric and water bill! Best of all, none of these ideas have to disrupt your kitchen for very long and they’ll all increase the value of your home.

If you’re thinking about putting your old refrigerator in storage you need to consider the law. The Consumer Product Safety Act was signed into law way back in 1972. That’s how far back the concern goes towards protecting children from getting accidentally trapped inside. The moment you unplug the fridge and deem it to be “unusable” you are taking on the responsibility for securing that appliance. You’re options are limited. You can either remove the door or securely lock that door with an external lock. Even if that fridge is tucked away in your garage or down in your basement and even if there are no kids living in your home, you still have to take those extra precautions. That’s the law.
Recently there was a huge explosion over at the Nexeo Solutions chemical plant in Garland. The sky filled with acrid smoke and flames. That gave everyone of the local residents a pretty decent scare. Luckily, the Garland Fire Department was quick to respond and beat back the flames. Because of the nature of this plant, the EPA was summoned tom make sure there was no lingering danger to the air quality. It was deemed safe. The day after the explosion, the clean-up began. As the work crews came into the sight, the fire department was standing by with their hoses at the ready in case any hot embers would flare up and start a new fire. That didn’t happen but it was still a slow and potentially dangerous operation to clear out the debris. This is something that had to be handled by professionals.
When it is time to get rid of some furniture your options are pretty limited. Essentially you can donate it, store it or trash it. On the donating front there are many wonderful organizations that will do what they can to pick up that furniture from your home. The Dallas Furniture Bank is a prime example. They have been collecting usable furniture for years and making it available to individuals and families who might need a little help turning an empty house into a livable home.
What kind of eyesore item do you have in your backyard? Is it a hot tub, perhaps? In many cases, homeowners inherit an old hot tub. Unlike a sofa or a fridge, a hot tub is not something you can easily pack up and take with you to your next location. As a prospective home buyer, you might have seen the hot tub out back and thought it would be a perfect way to unwind after a hard day. The reality turned out that hot tub is out of date and broken down. Now it’s like one gigantic bird bath. In other words, an eyesore. If that is the case then you have two options: swap out the old model for a new model or get rid of it all together.
Nebraska is coming to Dallas. That would be the Nebraska Furniture Mart which just turned the shovel on construction of a Texas size 560,000 square foot showroom/warehouse at the Colony just outside of Dallas. Competition was fierce among various retail sites not only here in Texas but in Tennessee and Missouri as well but the Colony won out. This is the new shopping complex located along State Highway 121 that hopes to inject a serious boost into the local economy. With over 433 acres of retail space, there will be plenty of opportunities for other stores and restaurants to join in with the Nebraska Furniture Mart.
It’s very rare in life when we get to have an official “do over.” The Dallas City Council is optioning its own version of a “do over” as it develops a comprehensive plan for recycling. Apparently, the first version of the plan left out any thought of apartment complexes. There are also rumblings about the proposed city wide ban on plastic bags. On one page of the plan we’re told the plastic bag issue will be “discussed” in the next five years but in another chapter the issue is put off until 2025. Clearly, there are a few things to work out.
Ben Franklin once quipped that “the only things certain in life are death and taxes.” There should probably be an amendment to that adage to include junk because if anything is certain it’s that every single human being is going to create garbage & junk. From the food we eat, the clothes we wear and just about anything else that becomes disposable we’re going to leave a huge trail of garbage in our wake wherever we go. Here in Dallas, we create over 2 million tons of garbage every year. It would be great if we could push a button and make that garbage disappear but on many levels it is here to stay and where it stays is in one of the many landfills that dot the Dallas landscape. That doesn’t mean that folks aren’t thinking about what to do with all that garbage. In fact, there is a plan being put forth for Dallas to have zero-waste by the year 2040.
“Not in my backyard.” That’s the rallying cry that was heard from many residents of west Dallas when a new auto-parts salvage yard was proposed for a vacant lot over on Singleton Boulevard. The local residents had been working hard to turn their neighborhood around by leveling abandoned houses, cleaning weeds from lots and coming together to make this a decent neighborhood once again. There’s no getting around the fact that a junk yard is an eye sore. It will also be hard to attract other businesses that aren’t junk related to that area. The measure went to the City Council where they took the matter under review. This is a contentious issue that every community will face sooner or later: what to do with all our junk?
