The original President’s Day was just meant to honor George Washington. It was also an excuse to give government workers a three-day holiday weekend. That idea caught on with a lot of other businesses such as banks and other financial institutions. However, unlike Christmas, most retail stores and restaurants will be open. That’s because they want to take full advantage of all the potential customers who are looking for something to do on their Monday off. In fact, this is probably the last chance most stores have to clear out their entire leftover Christmas inventory. They need to make room for the new stuff that means you can score great deals on the old stuff, which isn’t really all that old.

If you put off buying a new stove or washing machine, then President’s Day could be the weekend you find what you’re looking for. As you arrange to have a big item like that delivered to your home, you also have to plan to have the old one taken away. That can easily be accomplished with a junk removal appointment from Junk King Denver. These are the junk removal pros that can have your entire home cleared of clutter in a matter of minutes.
With every junk removal appointment from Junk King, you’ll be supervising a two-man moving crew. Your supervising duties include showing that crew just what you want thrown away. You don’t have to worry about pulling any of those items out of your home and down to the curb. Unlike other so-called junk haulers, the Junk King crew is going to go directly where you’ve been stashing your junk. Maybe it’s down in the basement or up in the attic. Maybe it is going to take several trips up and down those stairs. That won’t matter on bit to the Junk King crew; they are going to where the junk is, plain and simple!
Due to the horrendous recent floods, going back to school has been a challenge for many Denver area students. Beyond the actual closing of the campuses during the height of the flooding, many of the schools were tapped for use as makeshift shelters. It’s hard to kick out families with nowhere else to go. Of course, like the many snow days we experience here in the Mile High City, you won’t find many kids who are complaining about a school closing. Although they might not like this idea, being stuck inside is a perfect excuse to do some good cleaning. We’re not just talking about wiping down furniture and sweeping the floors but going deep and pulling out junk to be tossed.
As far as precipitation goes we’ve had a very dry time around Denver in the last couple of months. All of that changed with the welcome and very wet relief of a batch of thunderstorms which recently rolled through the area. Over at the Denver International Airport there was an impressive 1.41” of rain dumped down in a single storm cycle. Measuring out on a ruler finds that 1.41” doesn’t seem very deep but it can quickly add up especially if your basement is downhill of all that rain. Many local residents woke up to find themselves ankle deep in water in their basements. That’s not something anyone wants to wake up to! If you should happen to find yourself on the receiving end of that kind of flooding you might want to reach out the 
This summer a unique new rental business has popped up in New York. For a $100 folks can rent a backyard. This particular backyard is really an abandoned lot squeezed between two buildings that a pair of savvy entrepreneurs made a deal for. The “landlords” spruced up the yard with a couple of BBQ grills, coolers, lawn chairs and hula hoops. When they first advertised the yard they were swamped with 1,000 requests from potential renters. Apparently, folks in New York are starved for what most Denver residents already enjoy: an idyllic backyard. What kind of shape is your backyard in? Have you made the most of it during the summer? It’s not too late to give your yard a make-over.
If you’re planning on moving to the Denver area, you’re going to need to know some things that the locals already are familiar with. First up, Denver is a great town. But it’s also a high town situated at around 5,280 feet about sea level. This might take some adjusting especially if you’re used to lower levels and like to work out. You might want to take it easy until you get used to the air pressure. Once you do get acclimated, you’ll be happy to note that Denver has been ranked as one of the slimmest cities in the state. That’s probably thanks in no small part to the 20,000 acres of national parks, 205 city parks and dozens of fitness centers. You just can’t help but get into shape when you live in Denver.
A quick scan of the Denver virtual Yellow Pages finds up to 51 professional organizers listed. These are the folks who are dedicated to helping you get your life in order. There are many thoughtful mission statements provided by these organizers. Here is a sampling:
There is good news to be found in a recent report out of the Colorado real estate market. According to the Colorado Division of Housing the number of foreclosure filings were down by 1% for the first four months of 2012. That translates to foreclosures falling from 8,476 at this time last year to 8,395. Foreclosure auction sales were also down by a whopping 29% during the same time. Clearly this is an indication that the Colorado real estate market is on the mend but that doesn’t mean it is out of the woods yet. There are still plenty of signs around the Denver area that show foreclosures are still prevalent. One way to truly turn around the foreclosure market is for savvy investors to make smart choice and buy up foreclosed properties.
When was the last time you visited the Denver Botanic Gardens? If it’s been a while then it’s time to head back and if you’ve never been then you don’t know what you’re missing. Here is their official mission statement: “The Denver Botanic Gardens strives to entertain and delight while spreading the collective wisdom of the Gardens through outreach, collaboration and education. Our conservation programs play a major role in saving species and protecting natural habitats for future generations.” Throughout the year, the Denver Botanic Gardens offers a wide variety of programs for all ages. As the warm weather approaches, they’ll gear up for their annual summer concert series. And don’t think that these exquisite gardens are “off-limits” to amateur green thumbs like yourself. Everyone is encouraged to participate in learning seminars and help with sprucing up the many exhibits. This is a perfect place to go if you enjoy being surrounded by nature and get your hands dirty.
