There you are dumping in a load of clothes to your washer just like you have for every week for the last couple of years when all of sudden your machine starts lurching and violently shaking. It fills up with water but the water doesn’t drain. Those clothes are dead in the water. Sound familiar? If your washer has gone up on your then you’ve got to replace it. You might be inclined to bypass the major appliance stores in favor of heading over to Craigslist to see what bargain you can find. Before taking the plunge, consider the risks.
Most appliances that you would buy off of Craigslist or any other type of classified site will be sold to you “as is.” In other words, you could go through all the trouble of renting a truck, driving over to pick up the fridge, bring it home and plug it in only to find it doesn’t work as promised. What can you do then? Pretty much nothing. On the other hand, if you buy from a store you can get a warranty. There should also be some kind of return policy if the machine doesn’t perform to your liking.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t think about going the Craigslist route. You just want to be on the lookout for models that are newer. Over at the big appliance stores like Best Buy, Lowes or Home Depot you might find a good selection of appliances to choose from. Instead of going for the sparkly, boxed version, find out about buying a floor model. You can see for yourself what kind of shape it is in. If there are a few dings or scratches that you’re not bothered by then you could probably get the price knocked down even further.

Do you know what the Texas state law is regarding the proper disposal of a refrigerator? If you’re planning on getting rid of a fridge you should become extremely familiar with the law. Here is the exact wording as it appears on the law books:
A sparkling coastline is not the first thing you think of when you think of Texas. However, as many of our locals know, we’ve got plenty of wonderful beaches that are perfect for spending a relaxing day in the sun. Sadly, whenever there is something beautiful in nature you can count on some careless people messing it up. That’s why there is a big push on to stop trash dumping along the Texas shoreline. Jerry Patterson, a Texas Land Commissioner, has taken to the airwaves for a new public service announcement about the Adopt-A-Beach Spring Cleanup. This year, the concept is to “shock” people into cleaning up the beaches in the form of an unsavory menu.
There have been millions of dollars spent on studies to figure out why some folks can’t get a good night sleep. What is ironic is that the very nature of those studies could be preventing people from falling to sleep. Could you nod off if you were in a laboratory and wired with electrodes? Still the studies have yielded some results which have brought us closer to understanding what happens when we sleep and why it is so important for our bodies.
What did you “inherit” when you moved into your current home? Sometimes it’s a color of paint on the wall that makes your eyes go blurry. It could also be some wallpaper that would feel more at home at the Bates Motel. There could also have been all manner of carpets, drapes and other accents which might not have been your taste. Those are all cosmetic things that can easily be fixed. What you don’t have a lot of control over are the structures that are left behind by a previous owner like an 80s era hot tub sitting in the backyard. If that tub has seen better days or you want to make room to expand your patio then your only choice is to get rid of that monstrosity. Clearly, you’re going to need help and the perfect help for this type of job can be found with the 
When was the last time you bought a piece of furniture? If it has been a while then you might be eager to replace your saggy sofa or worn out loveseat. Shopping for a sofa should have you looking at four components: the frame, the spring system, the cushions and the tailoring. Since you’ll probably be living with this piece of furniture for several years it’s important that you get it right.
There’s a real problem with leaving junk out on your curb for a trash pickup. Take for instance the offer from Pasadena city council to pick up your old computer for recycling. Although that is noble, it’s not very appealing. First of all, you’ll basically be telegraphing to everyone who happens by that you’ve just gotten a new computer because you’re throwing out the old one. The same can be said for those big boxes that flat screen TVs come in. Are you advertising what new gadgets you’ve just bought? Suppose someone other than the city workers pick up your computer? Would your hard drive be wiped away? Anything on there you wouldn’t want someone to see? Even if you think your computer doesn’t boot up your hard drive still has information on it that could fall into the wrong hands.
Could bottle recycling be coming to East Houston? If a group of local businessman and fellow concerned citizens have their way then yes! The goal of the newly proposed bottle bill is to “create jobs, save taxpayers money and clean up Texas’ bayous.” That’s what Houston businessman Mike Garver hopes and why he is promoting the Texas Bottle Bill for proposal during the 83rd legislative session.
The neighborhood you live in matters a lot to your overall quality of life. Before moving to a new home or apartment the first thing you’ll check out is the neighborhood. This might mean a drive around the area. Perhaps you’ll stop off at a restaurant or visit a couple of shops that you hope to ultimately be shopping in! A good question to ask as you tour a new neighborhood is “Who actually keeps this neighborhood clean?” For over 30 years the dedicated volunteers at Keep Houston Beautiful have been doing just that; keeping Houston beautiful. They accomplish this by pooling together community groups who care about their surroundings. They provide the resources and information for block by block clean up weekends, tree planting and graffiti removal.
