How old is your stove? It’s a legitimate question especially if you’ve been noticing that it’s not quite working as it once did. Just like every other major kitchen appliance your stove will wear down over time. If you’re in the market for a new stove you might have a hard time finding a store that actually sells them. This is crucial because you want to make sure if you buy a stove with a warranty that the store you buy it from is going to be around long enough to service your appliance.
Since you’re buying new, you get to pick from a wide array of features. Do you know how a self-cleaning oven works? That means the stove has the ability to blast the oven with a burst of extremely high heat that reduces any type of residue to a pile of ash. You still have to wipe up the ash when the oven cools off. It’s not like a little robot shows up to do the job. You might be better off cleaning the stove the old-fashioned way as opposed to paying for a feature that isn’t all that big of deal to begin with.
A convection oven will come with a steeper price tag but if you do a lot of cooking this might be a terrific upgrade. With the convention oven you’ll see a fan or two as part of the design. Those fans allow for the heat to be circulated during the cooking process. This in turn makes for a more even cooking experience. It also cooks food a lot faster so you might have to adjust your recipes.
When it comes to clean up, you just can’t beat a smooth top range. The heating units are kept under a ceramic top and clean up is as easy as wiping down with a sponge. The only drawback with a ceramic stovetop is that is scratches rather easily. This means you probably couldn’t use cast iron cookware unless you want your surface all scuffed up. Coil burners are another way to go but these are extremely difficult to keep clean and the coils will eventually have to be replaced.
As for stove finishes, you’ll have the chance to spice things up with a bold color like red or black. Just think about what the rest of your kitchen looks like. You don’t want a single appliance standing out like a sore thumb.

You’ve got your cleaning supplies ready. You’ve set aside a Saturday morning. You’ve got a list of what needs to be done. Even with all of that prep work often it seems like doing the spring-cleaning is too much to handle. Guess what? Maybe it is and that’s why you should ask for help. If you’ve got kids in the house then there is no reason why they can’t be put to some cleaning chores. Let them dust the baseboards or at the very least clean up their rooms. If toddlers are part of the equation then the best help might come from asking someone to watch them while you dive into the cleaning.
There’s a lot of lumber around the country these days. That’s according to a report put out by the Commerce Department about the increasing level of wholesaler stockpiles. In fact, January saw the largest amount in the past 13 months. In the lumber industry this means a 3.4% gain in inventories. As everyone knows, the more there is of something the cheaper it costs. Look for the prices of lumber to drop at the Home Depot.

Because this is a new school it will feature the latest advances in educational construction including wireless technology, interactive boards, a media center, and a security system.
All you really need to pamper yourself is a small goal and a little bit of time. For instance, if all you have is 15 minutes you could make a cup of tea and watch some fun YouTube videos in the time it would take you to drink that tea. Later at night, pop on your favorite relaxing album and pour yourself a glass of wine. If you have 30 minutes make yourself a bowl of ice cream and get lost in some mindless reality TV. Or you could call up an old friend and set the clock for 30 minutes of catch up conversation.
Nothing says, “Welcome to Nashville” like clean rest stops. At least that’s the philosophy behind the new move from the Department of Environment and Conservation, the Department of Transportation and the Tourist Development agency of Tennessee. They’ve all gotten together and implemented a new program which is putting recycling bins at the many visitor welcome centers located along the state’s highways leading into Nashville.
What to do with your Christmas tree might depend on what kind of backyard you have. There is a growing eco-friendly movement that puts forth the idea if you are going to take from the earth you should give back to the earth. How does that apply to an old Christmas tree? Well, you could drag it out to your backyard and leave it out for a kind of bird sanctuary. The little feathered ones could find it to provide decent shelter. If you’ve got a garden, the tree could spend the winter decomposing. Going that route would mean stripping off the branches for a more even distribution of the newly formed mulch.
A train derailment is not anyone’s idea of a good time. Recently, a Paducah & Louisville Railway train containing gallons of hazardous chemicals jumped the rails in the early morning hours just outside the Dixie Highway. While Emergency Management Agency teams were responding to the accident, a fire broke out further delaying the cleanup effort. Several workers were injured and taken to local hospitals. The fire was put under control and the work continued to get those train cars back on the rails.
