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. With Junk King on call you can finally toss out all those things that have been cluttering up your home and yards. Yes, Junk King works their magic indoors and outdoors.
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. Before you know it you’ve got a full fledge hoarding zone. This could be a spare room, an attic, a basement or garage. 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.
After it is gone you’re free to do whatever you want with that open space. Did you have something in mind when you first moved into your home? Maybe a home office or arts and crafts workshop? 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.
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.
You’re favorite shopping partner this holiday season could be a smart phone app. There are dozens of scanner apps that let you wander into a nearby Raleigh store and take a picture of a product’s UPC bar code. The app then shows you if you can get that item at a better price somewhere else. What’s great is that armed with that information, you might be able to convince the store to sell you the item at the discount price. Chances are you’ll get the deal because they want to keep you in the store. This would make you a very smart shopper indeed.
