If you’re planning on moving into a new home or apartment, you should line up two very practical tools. The first is a good Sharpie. This will allow you to properly label all your boxes. Obviously, you want to make sure each box has the proper designation as to which room it will be loaded into. However, you might want to take it a step further by adding things like “coffee maker” or “bedding” to those boxes. That way you won’t have to search on your first night for those vital items.
The second important tool to have is a junk hauling appointment with Junk King that is set up before your move. This will give you the chance to finally toss out all those things that you’ve decided you no longer need. You don’t want to bring old furniture, e-waste or appliances into your new living space, right? And you certainly don’t need to carry over those boxes and bags of old clothes. These are the kinds of things that a Junk King junk hauling session can take care of. Space will not only be a premium at your new place, but also on your mover’s truck. Do you really want to run the risk of running out of truck space because you’re bringing over all that junk?
If you feel like you want to donate some of these pieces, then Junk King can be a big help. As part of their business model, Junk King tries to keep as much of what it collects out of local landfills. That means they prefer to turn over pieces to a charity that specializes in fixing up things like furniture or appliances. You’ll feel good about your stuff being repurposed. You’ll also feel good when you’re no longer carrying that junk with you.
As with your movers, Junk King is going to provide you with a very capable two-man team who will do the hard work of lifting heavy objects. They’ll also provide you with a truck big enough to cart off whatever you want gone. Once you clear out the extra clutter, you’ll find that packing up is a whole lot easier. In terms of expense, you’ll find that junk hauling with Junk King is going to be much more affordable than your movers. That’s because Junk King only charges a fee determined by the amount of space your junk will take up on the back of the truck. Use junk hauling with Junk King before your move to make sure you don’t bring any clutter with you!
There is an old adage among carpenters that goes, “measure twice, cut once.” Basically, that means you have to get your measurements exact or you’ll be going back to the saw time and time again. You should apply that same principle to buying a new refrigerator. This is especially true if you need your fridge to slide into a pre-cut counter space. The other consider you have to take into account is the refrigerator door. Your new model might fit in the counter but will the door clear an island or countertop? It would be horrible if you brought that new fridge home only to discover it won’t work in your kitchen.
It’s going to be a good Christmas for Alfonso Architects. That’s because they were just awarded the contract to build the new Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement here in St. Petersburg. This is going to be a four-story museum that will fill its 90,000-sq-ft. with the collection of Rudy Ciccarello and the Two Red Roses Foundation. Here’s how the architects describe their vision: “The building will serve the collection in its presentation of precious objects in a modern, functional, and didactic way. The spaces will embrace natural light and respond to the different scales of the objects they hold. It will be a building of our time that celebrates this immensely important period of art, architecture, and American history.”
What would you do if you woke up and discovered a sinkhole in your backyard? That was the dilemma faced by a group of St. Petersburg residents as they were forced to evacuate their homes in a hurry while the city dealt with the growing sinkhole. So far, the 12-foot wide hole has devoured a boat and part of a patio. Welcome to Florida!
What kind of junk appliances and e-waste are you holding onto? We’re talking about things like old TVs, cell phones, computers, monitors and just about anything else you need to plug in to power up. All of that is consider electronic waste which means you can’t toss it out with the rest of the trash. The good news is that you could drive over to the St. Petersburg Value Fair Market parking lot where a mobile unit will collect all that e-waste from you. The bad news is this event happened back on November 2nd. Does this mean you’re stuck with your e-waste? Not at all if you call Junk King Sarasota today.
