The third annual Back-to-School fest was held at the University of Houston and 25,000 students and parents showed up for the fun. This was an event for students heading into kindergarten through fifth grade. It was a day where they can get caught up on their immunizations, get a backpack full of school supplies and find out about many of the after school programs available throughout Houston. Best of all, everything was free! This was a perfect way to start the new school year. To keep the momentum of “fresh starts” going, you might want to think about clearing your home of all that unnecessary junk that has been taking up space. Here is where Junk King Houston can become your best back to school partner.
Junk King is the professional junk hauling service that has been helping homeowners and business owners all around Houston clear out the clutter of their lives. When it comes to cleaning out your home you could be taking some proactive steps to create an environment that will help your kids with their homework. Maybe you can create a space in a spare room or in the family room for them to study. This could mean putting in a small desk with a computer hookup. The idea is to keep them out of their room with all its distractions. In other words, you’ want to create a homework zone and when they are in the zone that’s what they need to focus on.
To accomplish that, you might need to move out some old furniture, appliances or e-waste you’ve been keeping in storage. Maybe you’ve been holding on this stuff simply because you have no other way of getting rid of it. Now you do with the help of Junk King Houston.
Every removal appointment set up by Junk King comes complete with a hard working two-man crew and a huge moving truck. That’s all you really need to get rid of anything you’re throwing out. The Junk King crew are experts at lifting heavy objects like sofas, tables and bedroom sets. They’ve also been known to move the occasional piano and hot tub. Yes, there isn’t anything that can put on the back of their truck to dispose of.
Unlike other so-called haulers, you won’t be paying dumping fees or labor costs. You’re only going to be charged a single flat rate based on how much space your junk takes up on the back of the truck. Make that call to Junk King Houston today and watch how fast your junk will disappear.
There are a lot of great folks living in Houston who will do whatever they can to help out a neighbor even if that neighbor is a total strange. When a 93-year-old WWII vet recently had his home vandalized some local Marines got together to form a special “Band of Brothers” to help out the Purple Heart recipient. Within three days the marines had raised over $5,000 to donate to the WWII vet. They also pitched in with the clean-up effort. This is a shining example of how a little charity can go a long way to improve someone’s life.
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.
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.
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 
When we pay good money for a piece of equipment we want it to last. That holds true for something as small as an iPod and as big as an SUV.
