How long is your junk list? This would be the list of all the things in your home that you’ve been put in charge of tossing out.

What shape is your water heater in? If you’ve noticed that your hot water isn’t getting quite as hot as you have been used to you might be able to adjust the temperature to fix that problem. The optimum temp for household hot water is between 120 and 140 degrees. If you’ve lost hot water all together then you’re water heater will need a major overhaul. If that same unit is starting to make clanking and banging noises then it could be a buildup of sediment. This is something else that needs attending to in order to make sure your unit doesn’t go up on you. Of course, over time that water heater is just going to wear down. You might also be concerned with how energy efficient your old model is compared to the newly designs. All of this is adding up to that dreadful feeling of the need to replace your water heater. It’s not that complicated. You need to get the right person for the job and that includes the right person for the removal of the unit.

Hands down, Monterey has some of the best examples of historic homes in the entire state. You don’t have to take our word for it; you can see for yourself. Many of these historic homes are open for tours. For instance, the Casa Serrano Adobe is one of Monterey’s oldest adobe structures which dates all the way back to 1843. The home is furnished with many fine examples of local artwork and Spanish, Mexican and early American antiques. There are also garden tours that set out from the Case del Oro Memory Garden at Pacific and Scott. This time of the year, the gardens are decorated with holiday flair.
There is an offshoot of the recycling philosophy that you might be using and not even know it. This is “upcycling” which basically means repurposing a disposable item. With true recycling items like paper, plastic or aluminum are grinded down into pulp and then mixed into a slurry the reconstitutes them as raw material to be used again. Upcycling is repurposing without the grinding.
As the summer begins to wind down hopefully you had a good season outdoors on your patio. Nothing can be spending a cool evening with a glass of wine and some good friends. Or a lazy Sunday afternoon curled up in the shade with a good book. This summer season could have given you the opportunity to assess the status of your patio furniture especially if that became a hub for you and your family. Did your patio furniture hold up? Did it get baked in the sun? Did a surprise rain storm soak it? The answer to any one of those question could determine if you should be in the market for new patio furniture. If so then you’re in luck because this is the perfect time of the year to make a purchase like that.
