Ten years ago, Powderhorn Lake was officially considered “impaired.” Translation: it was a polluted mess. Thanks to some focus cleanup efforts by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency the lake has now been restored. It’s such a good job that one of the heads of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is planning to tour the area and commend the local workers on their all their hard work. The key factors for the big turnaround were the dedication to fix the storm water treatment system, the addition of rain gardens and other steps to reduce algae. If the local government can clean up an entire lake what’s stopping you from cleaning up your home? We’re not just talking about some light dusting but what to do if you’ve got junk that needs to be hauled away. The best solution would be to hire Junk King for the job.

On any given weekend, you can travel through the many St. Paul neighborhoods and find a yard sale happening. This is the chance for homeowners and apartment dwellers to drag all their unwanted stuff out to the curb to see what they can sell. If they are lucky, they’ll be able to get rid of the bulk of their junk. That is what all that stuff is: junk. Just because they are asking for money doesn’t mean it’s not junk at least to them. Otherwise why would they be so eager to get rid of that stuff? Often, yard sales are used to get rid of big pieces like old sofas, tables and chairs. That’s a challenge to move those items out to the driveway. It’s even a bigger challenge to move them back in at the end of that day. That’s why you’ll find pieces of furniture with signs like “Free” tacked onto them. Of course, one night out in the elements and that free piece of furniture is suddenly worthless. There is a better way to get rid of your junk and that would be to hire Junk King Minneapolis for the job.
How safe is your attic? Recently there have been a rash of fires around Minneapolis that have resulted in the destruction of homes. Most of these fires originated in the attics of these homes. Luckily, there have been no injures but there has been a lot of damage.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture has some fall lawn care tips for you to think about. Believe it or not, raking your leaves is a good way to maintain your water quality. That’s because the dead leaves can release phosphate and nitrates. When those dead leaves freeze up then melt the runoff will be loaded with those compounds that can seep into the water around your lawn. That could end up turning everything brown. They also suggest that a “final dose” of fertilizer should be applied up to late October. After that your grass might not be able to absorb the nutrients because the ground could harden in the cooler weather. Fall is the best time to repair your lawn with seeding or sodding. And you thought you only had to do all this work in the spring!
There is a 15-year old Minneapolis teen that is inspiring a lot of folks all across the country. That would be Nate St. Martin who pushed himself through a remarkable transformation.

That is a lot of time to dedicate to your training but when you consider the alternative it’s really not a lot to ask. Nate is pushing himself hard to get that fat off and he shows what determination and motivation can do.
