The first reported incident of hoarding as a disorder can be traced back to the 14th century. Today, there are some medical researchers that figure at least 5% of Americans could be certified as hoarders. Doctors really can’t pinpoint how this disorder pops up but they can defiantly recognize it when it occurs. So can all the neighbors. The help a true hoarder take a team of counselors and psychologists. Usually it reaches that stage when the hoarding has proven to be a health hazard for the hoarder and for the neighborhood.
The goal is to convince the hoarder that they really don’t need all that stuff they are hanging onto. You might be happy to get rid of all your junk if only you had some help. That doesn’t make you a hoarder. It just makes you in need of Junk King Raleigh’s services.

Let’s start with the indoors. Every home has a “storage locker.” This would be the place where all your collected junk goes. When you get a new sofa you put the old couch in this room. If a new stove comes, the old stove goes in the storage room. The minute one bulky item goes there there are usually boxes of stuff that follow.

No matter where the junk is the Junk King Raleigh crew can move in to move it out. You won’t have to pick up a thing; the JK crew does all the heavy lifting.
Once they’ve sorted through the indoors that same crew can do a tour around your front and back yard to take away anything out there you want disposed off. This will be your chance to clear out the leftover debris from a remodel job or patio makeover. If you’ve done some landscaping then Junk King can also haul off the dirt. Simply put there just isn’t anything that Junk King won’t take away for you.

That can be yours again. Call Junk King Raleigh at 1-888-888-JUNK to set up a removal appointment before you get too comfy being a hoarder.
“Computer equipment contains environmentally hazardous waste and should be disposed of properly.” That’s the official word from the state of North Carolina. They have followed up that ominous talk by enacting a state law that bans TVs and computer equipment from being dumped into any landfills in North Carolina. They haven’t left the citizens high and dry when it comes to getting rid of personal e-waste. You can drop off your e-waste at a few certifies centers around Raleigh but there are restrictions.
Now that summer is heading our way we need to ask, “How is your garden growing?” The heat and humidity has settled in around Raleigh which means pests will start popping up in your garden. You need to keep an eye on them. Hopefully you can wash them off with a misting spray. If it gets serious you might consider clipping off some bit leaves and take them to your local nursery for advice. If you’re making transplants those new beds of soil have to be kept moist. You might want to add a rain barrel to your garden as a hedge against dry weeks. As your fruits and veggies start to come in make sure to harvest when the goodies are ripe.
Is it time for a backyard makeover? The weather has finally turned to spring and we’re just a few weeks from the official start of summer. This is the time of year backyards were made for. What’s your outdoor preference? Reading on a hammock? Grilling up steaks for dinner? Or just having a few friends over for a relaxing drink after work. You’ll have a much better time with anyone of those activities if your backyard is in good shape. You really don’t have to go for a complete overhaul to spruce things up. There are plenty of easy and affordable fixes you can incorporate right away.
Do you know the difference between direct heat and indirect heat? If you want to step up your grilling game you should. For all practical purposes it comes down to a question of temperature and time. Direct heat grilling involves having your meat put over the flame with the lid open. This works for thin cuts of meat like fillets and kabobs that you want to cook fast. Indirect heat is better for larger pieces of meat like steak or roasts. For this the food is cooked off of the flame with the lid closed. In other words set only half of your flames going and put your meat on the side without the flame. It will take longer to cook but will definitely cook all the way through.
When was the last time you truly pampered yourself? If you’re saying “That’s impossible because I don’t have the time” then you’re missing the point. You have to make the time. Pampering doesn’t mean you need to take a weekend off from all your responsibilities. Although that would be pretty sweet, you can achieve all the relaxing benefits with a little dose of pampering as you would with a full weekend away. For instance, why not set aside an hour to call and old friend and catch up. Forget Facebook, reach out and have a meaningful conversation.
How much drying space do you really need? That’s the question you’ll be asking when it’s time to upgrade your old dryer. Basic dryers come in a range between 25″ to 29″ as regular, wide or oversized. The big boys have 7 cubic feet drums all the way down to the mini 3 cubic feet. It might come down to the questions of where will you put your dryer and how big is your family? If you’ve got a large brood and the space you’re better off going for the bigger drum.
Raleigh is a great town for sports. Between all the fierce Raleigh high school rivalries and college games there is plenty for a diehard fan to enjoy on any given weekend. Nothing beats having the hometown favorite bring home a trophy. However, when the team loses a handful of rowdy fans can turn watching a good game into a violent nightmare. This brings us to the issue of dumpsters. It seems that in recent years, dumpsters have become the popular target for disgruntled sports fans that are looking to cause trouble. A few matches and a seemingly harmless dumpster becomes a flaming inferno.
There’s been a lot of talk about trees recently at the Raleigh city council. This is because they are revamping their tree ordinance policies as it relates to what the utility company can to in terms of maintenance. Right now the Raleigh utility company can remove branches anywhere from two to eight feet away from power lines but this only applies to public property. Private homeowners will have to take care of their own tree trimming. However, if the last round of super storms has proved anything it’s that trees and power lines don’t mix. This was the major reason for all those blackouts: falling tree limbs. You would be well advised to put aside your desire for lush foliage in favor of running power. When the utility company comes out to do a little tree trimming it’s free. They also clean up after themselves. If a tree has to come down all together they’ll grind down the stump and sweep up the sawdust.
