You don’t have to have a home business to need a home office but you do need to clear out some space. A home office could be a dedicated, quiet place where you pay the bills and catch up on personal emails. Depending on your family situation, there could be a lot of benefit from having a room where you can spend a few moments in peace listening to soothing music and just relaxing. Of course, if you are entertaining the notion of working from home then you absolutely need to haul the junk away to open up the space.
In terms of that space, you need to asses just what you might need in your home office. Obviously, a desk is crucial but will you need room for shelves? A fax machine? Copier? If your home office is going to be a kind of graphic art studio will you need natural light? Once you have your critical needs worked out it will then be time to choose the appropriate space in your home. There might be a limitation on available space. If you have a spare room that has been used for storage or for guests that never visit then this could become your new office. There is even an opportunity to convert a garage into a practical office with very little effort.
So, what kind of junk is filling up your “office space?” Unless a room is being actively used by a member of the family it has a tendency to become the dumping ground for all the oversized items you can’t throw out in the trash. This is where the old sofas, chairs, mattresses, baby furniture and televisions end up. At one point, this spare room could have been the kid’s playroom but now with them grown up or locked in their own bedrooms that playroom can be put to better use.

By some estimates, it has been determined that every person generates anywhere between 3 to 4 pounds of garbage every day. Add that up over the course of a year and you’ve got dumpsters full of trash just from a single person. Multiple that by the amount of people in your house, living on your block, in your community, in the city and you can see how that’s a big pile of garbage! This is simply something that can’t be sustained. That’s why it is so important for large cities to adopt proactive recycling policies. Houston has those in place but you can do even more especially when it comes to getting rid of your bulky, oversized items.
There’s a new kind of gym in Houston and to enjoy it you’ll have to strap on the boxing gloves. Plex gym is a 40,000 square foot facility that is the brainchild of internationally known fitness guru Danny Arnold. Not only is there every piece of workout equipment you can imagine but the centerpiece of Plex is the boxing ring and boxing training you can participate in. You might even be exercising alongside some NFL and NBA players who are known to workout at Plex throughout the year. And of course you’re likely to run into many professional boxers who call Plex their workout home.
For the big “Clean and Green” bayou restoration project, the Bayou Preservation Association (BPA) recently joined forces with Harris County Jail. The BPA provided the resources and the inmates provided the muscle.
Let’s get real about air conditioning. As a “flash” on a hot day, it’s nice to walk into an air conditioned mall or store and there’s nothing wrong with staying frosty in a movie theatre on a hot summer’s day. But if you live in a home or apartment you might have become addicted to your AC. Is it really making a difference?
Sugar from garbage? Sounds too wacky to be believed but that is actually the goal of the Houston based Waste Management Company as they enter into a new partnership with Renmatix Inc. They want to explore processing urban waste such as recyclables, food scraps, construction debris, pulp and paper waste into renewable chemicals and fuels. One of those chemical compounds could be a synthetic sugar.
There are some new arrivals at the Houston Zoo that has everyone buzzing. A baby Masai Giraffe was born on July 14th. Consider these facts: This was a 14 month long pregnancy, normal for giraffes. Right out of the gate this baby weighed 160 pounds and was already 74 inches tall. That’s some baby! This little long necked cutie wasn’t the only new arrival to show up at the zoo. There have also been new monkeys, turtles, toads, geckos and a lemur who made their first steps in the world. It’s certainly an exciting time to be around the zoo these days. With all of these new arrivals there has to be room made to accommodate the growing families.
As a real estate agent in Houston you might have had the unfortunate experience of taking on a listing from the bank that was once occupied by squatters. In this era of foreclosed properties, the concept of squatters taking over has become more prevalent. Ironically, the cops can’t do a lot when it comes to enforcing the laws. Technically, a squatter is guilty of trespassing but unless the property owner is pressing charges the police can’t arrest them. Since the foreclosed home is owned by a bank, it’s hard to track down a single person who can be legitimately called the owner. Yes, a bank can begin eviction proceedings but during that time, the squatters have no problem staying put. You probably don’t have to imagine the horrors of what could go on in a home turned into a squatter’s den because you’ve seen the aftermath. Now there is help standing by and that would be
