The number one reason to clean out all the trash from your home and backyard is because it’s going to make you feel a lot better. The number two reason could be crawling around your property right now. That would be ants. In California the most common ant that pops up in homes and picnics is the Argentine worker ant. These are dark colored ants without a sting. They also have no natural enemies which means unlike other bugs, ants are free to do as they please unless you put a stop to them.
You’ll often find ant nests in moist soil or under trash on sidewalks and driveways. They’ll also go as far as 100 feet away from their nest to dine out. If they make their way into your home, they’re going to keep coming back until you seal up their entryway or get rid of their food source. For the ant, that food source would be whatever trash you’ve got laying around that might have some sweet stuff on it. Even if you keep your home clean of crumbs, those ants could still be setting up shop in a comfy box in your garage or under a pile of wood in your backyard. If you want to keep the ants away, then it’s time to take out the trash and Junk King Gold Country can show you the way.

For your next stove, you have to pick between gas or electric, countertop or free-standing, slide-in or drop-in. Sound confusing? Not really. Depending on your current kitchen configuration you might only have one way to go. In other words, just because you “inherited” a stove doesn’t mean you have to stick with it; you just might have to stick with the type of stove you buy. Of course, you could opt for a complete kitchen remodel and then you can have your pick of stoves. Before going down that road, consider these options:
In lawn mowing circles, there is a never ending debate as to whether it is more efficient to mow in rows or spirals. This being the age of “too much free time” some math geeks and puzzle makers got together to put the debate to the test. Here’s what they came up with: “On a square 16-foot by 16-foot lawn, both the spiral and row techniques take a total of 30 turns; 14 left and 16 right for the rows, and 30 right turns for the spiral.
What kind of junk are you hanging onto? The answer to that question could determine whether or not you can be classified as an official hoarder. Someone with compulsive hoarding issues will keep things like junk mail, magazines and newspapers. They’ll also hand onto things they might think they’ll use for crafts. The problem is none of those periodicals every get read and none of those crafts ever get made. The same issue comes up around clothes that are never worn, sporting goods never used and even appliances that are broken but not disposed of.
How close are you to living in a “hoarder’s house?” We’ve all seen those reality shows where some folks have been collecting junk for years without throwing anything away. Hopefully it hasn’t gotten as bad for you but that doesn’t mean you should skip on the spring-cleaning. A good spring cleaning project goes beyond the typical weekly dusting or mopping. This is the time to pull the furniture from the walls and dig in deep to remove every spec of dirt and dust. This is the time to vacuum light fixtures, wipe down outlets and clean out windowsills. To get it done right is a big undertaking and it all comes down to a matter of attitude. Embrace that you want this done and realize that it’s not the end of the world to dedicate a Saturday morning to the effort.
It really doesn’t take a lot to give yourself the simple pleasure of a soothing bath. When you get right down to it there are 20 minutes of prep time and 30 minutes of soaking. You’ll want to run that hot bath and fill it with bubbles or some other type of relaxing oils. While the tub is running, light some aromatic candles, dim the lights, turn on your favorite music and pour a glass of wine. By now the bath will be ready and all you have to do is slip in. If you’re not used to taking this kind of “spa” bath then you need to treat yourself to a trip to a local bath and body store to find what you need. Mostly you just need to carve out the time. Now, if you’re saying to yourself that you can’t possible spare 50 minutes for a bath then that’s when you need it the most.
A local Chico business got into the Christmas spirit by helping a group of Trappist Monks restore their beloved abbey and its all thanks to beer. The Sierra Nevada Brewing Company of Chico helped raise millions of dollars for the rebuilding effort. All of this goes back to the 1930s when William Randolph Hearst transported a former Trappist monastery all the way from Spain, brick by brick. He was going to build himself a fancy swimming pool but that plan got scrapped and Hearst donated the stones to the city of San Francisco. Those stones sat in Golden Gate Park for over 60 years until a local chapter of the same Trappist order decided to take on the project. Sierra Brewing stepped up and the monks we able to complete the first building of the reconstruction in time for the holidays. It just shows you want a local business can do to help out.
