Custom Built Homes In Florida

Found an interesting article about mobile manufactured homes. Some people call them trailers. So I think you would probably want to call this futuristic manufactured home a “Jetson’s Trailer.” The home is manufactured and sells for much less than a stick built home. It has a few options, but the main design is for the home to be easily assembled on a prepared level home site and provides the basic functional rooms that a modern family or retired couple might need with a lot of modern touches and energy efficiency built-in.

If I were to have my dream house I would turn to a Fl Home Builder since there isn’t any other place that I would want to live out my life at. There are many ideas that I have been entertaining about the way I would want my dream house to be set up and with what appliances that it makes my head spin just thinking about them all.  I swear I don’t see how people are able to make the thousands of decisions that come along with the building of their custom-house.

I just know that I want a fireplace, the washer and dryer need to be on the main floor. The kitchen must be easily accessible to the bringing in of the inevitable groceries and other purchases. And my refrigerator needs to have a see-through door and have an ice maker. Those are just a couple of ideas that I’ve been thinking about, not that I ever plan on having enough money to build my own custom home, but stranger things have been known to happen, right?

 

 

Nice and Easy

Wearing a tactical vest could make the difference in weather you live or die for the majority of police officers that are subject to that kind of violence. And I saw a lot of other really cool police gear today via the Internet.

What is one of the many good things about the Internet is, that it allows you to visit virtually every business and industry without having to leave your house, which tends to sway most folks into entering their web-site to look around, when normally you wouldn’t have even considered finding business like that and then actually transporting yourself there to look around.

For example, no more than 1 1/2 blocks away from the house is a Police Gear & Accessories store that I drive right by at least twice a day, but never once have I pulled into the parking lot and gone in to look around and for no reak particular reason either. I mean I am interested in the merchandise that they have for these hard working law enforcers and with all of today’s technology I’m sure that I would find some pretty interesting and amazing things there to explore, yet I wouldn’t think to go and browse around there, ever. But I would check out their website.

Location, Location, Location . . .

I really don’t know what all the hoopla is about with not being able to use any information that is found on Wikipedia.org. I have been relying on Wikipedia for a very long time and have rarely come across anything questionable, not quite looking and/or sounding right. My niece was sharing with me on Face Book last night that she has an essay due next week and is having a hard time finding resources that are helpful and acceptable by her teacher. This teacher is telling her class that she will not accept anything turned in that used Wikipedia as a resource and/or a reference, which is something that just surprised me and caught me off guard at that moment.

Her school library doesn’t have the book she needs, nor do the 5 county libraries that are within an hour’s drive of her house has the book(s) either. They live way out in the boonies which is a pain in the rear – at least they do have Internet access, which several people in that little town don’t have at all. I just can’t image living out in the country. I need all my things right there, easy enough for me to get around efficiently enough.

 

Setting up an Online Store

There is a lovely couple in town trying to make a living selling tie dyed tee shirts and they are hoping to use the internet to help increase sales. The problem is that they do not know anything about the internet and they know nothing about finding e-commerce partners to help them set up their online store.

I like to stop by their store and look around once in while because each piece is a unique design and they are always making new things. Tie dye makes a fun gift for someone, and every time I wear tie dye around town I get compliments from fellow shoppers and the cashiers. The remarks are always positive and I think the shirts make people smile. The bright colors and unique designs are like a little burst of sunshine on a dreary winter day.

Today I stopped by their store and asked them if they were going to be making any yoga pants in a tie dye design? She said they had not realized that customers would like that and I showed her online a few styles that I like. People are starting to wear yoga pants around town because they are so comfortable and I think we are just getting tired of always wearing jeans. When I showed her the colors that I want, she promised to make a pair for me and a couple of extras to put on the rack and see if anyone else would be interested.

Then she showed me their new web site that a friend was helping them create. It’s still under construction but so far it looks really good! She told me that it took about 4 months to design and write everything they have so far, because the brick and mortar store is only closed one day a week and they are always so busy helping customers and creating the tie dye items. She said that the eCommerce portion was the last part they are working on. They had to take photographs of all their tie dye designs and write out descriptions to create an online catalog, and then they have to figure out how to add the shopping cart and payment processing.

I am so impressed with all the work they have put into this – I just know their store and their online store will be a great success.

Once A Month Is Enough For Me

It seems that there are a large amount of people that are suffering from digestive issues, what a drag. I know a lot of people that are dealing with stomach issues, mainly IBS, that are always looking for new products to help them ease the discomfort that goes along with this imbalance issue.

One of the ladies at work is trying the product of threelac that she found online. It is a natural solution for digestion candida and yeast imbalance control. She misses a couple of days a month due to her stomach woes, I can really feel for her. OMG once a month my gut is on fire for three to five days, I can’t imagine dealing with pain any more than that whole period deal.

As far as thrush goes, that’s a whole different story to share at a later time, ugh……

 

The Need For Boater Education

Boating education is a very hot topic these days, and I believe that it is something that is important for people to learn. I don’t see much difference between getting behind the wheel of a car and getting behind the wheel of a water craft, and we all need to learn certain things in order to obtain an automobile’s driver license, so there is a need for the same type of information to be passed on in order to have the privilege to drive a boat.

There are more and boats being bought these days, which means more and more people operating them and the water ways are filling up with all kinds of idiots operating them, some with absolutely no prior experience or knowledge of the sport. I wish that people who want to buy or operate a boat would take some kind of minimum instruction and earn an operator’s license before they are allowed on the water. This would increase the safety of everyone on water, whether for recreation or for making their living.

Hardwood Flooring Options For Kitchen and Front Room

Since I’ve been doing an awful lot of self-re-evaluation while upgrading my home and living conditions. I’ve been giving thought to possibly just ripping up the entire floor in the kitchen as well as the front room, so I’m not sure if it’s because I hate the stupid floors, or because I just want to change something. Not that it matters much. I was thinking along the lines of a type of Merengue Rustic Maple for the main front room and maybe a Surreal Washed Maple style floor for the kitchen.

Once I found the right company, carpetwiseflooringamerica” and saw the quality of their product and it’s installation, which is all guaranteed, I was convinced that this was where I’m going to get what I need! After seeing all the cool styles of wood flooring, I really liked the tone and color of the Hardwood Floors that I’ve selected. I’ve got some time still, so I’ll have it figured out soon enough to be sure. I may even put in a bigger bar, maybe incorporate into the hot tub area somehow. Hm, better stick to concentrating on the floors for now, otherwise I may wind up making a mess of things as well as getting a bit over my head.

Online Tutoring Needs

Where was the Internet was I was back in school. I can’t even begin to imagine how different my education would have been if only the Internet had come along just a decade earlier. Today’s students can find Physics help, Chemistry help and Science help, along with all the other subjects that had us tearing our hair out back then, simply by going online.

I remember my physics tutor that was hired by my mother in her effort to provide me with some type of Physics problem solver. The tutor was this elderly lady who smelled of old fake fur. I just couldn’t get past the smell in order to concentrate enough to make her efforts worth while, so my mother finally decided to let her go. Strange how we remember things like that. I can’t remember her name, but I remember what she looked like and that smell will forever be embedded in my memory banks.

My niece is finding it necessary to find a Chemistry tutor. She has turned to the Internet to find some help. She is in her first year of college and is getting very frustrated with the whole college scene, bless her heart. She is the first one in her family to attend college and is giving it all that she has in order to make her parents proud and to make something out of herself.  She used to love science ( one thing that we have in common) it wasn’t uncommon for her to email or call me with some of her Science questions that she needed help with in High School. I always enjoyed science and that was our common bond for a long time. But now that she is in college I’m afraid it’s all a bit over my head.

I wish her all the luck in the world. It would be great to see her graduate and live a successful and prosperous life, then I could say that “I knew her when……”   LOL

Safeguarding The Public’s Food

This peanut butter recall has been going on for a couple of weeks now and I keep hearing about how more and more people are getting sick from food poisoning and at last count I think I read that 18 have died from complications. All because a crappy manufacturing plant has been getting away with unsanitary conditions for months and selling contaminated peanuts and peanut paste to people who used it for hundreds of different products. All those products are now suspect and being pulled from the shelves. Who knows what is safe to eat now?

There is a recall list on the Government’s FDA site, but it keeps growing longer and the story continues to worsen. I can’t take any chances on tainted food, so I’ve thrown out anything in my pantry that has peanuts or peanut products in it. That was like $60 worth of food wasted – and I despise wasting food. But I can’t afford to get food poisoning and die from peanut butter. Now I heard that there is a second crappy plant in Texas that has been doing the same thing. This is outrageous and one more example of the failure of both the FDA and the state health departments to inspect facilities and safeguard the public.

Kids Sitting At Home Enjoying A Snow Day, With No Snow

Winter storms have been brutal for a good amount of the country this year. We’ve had a lot of cold temperatures and rain, but not the snow that our neighbors to the north are dealing with. We thought all that might change last night, as the weatherman was calling for  2 to 5 inches of snow for this entire part of the state. Of course, officials immediately canceled school and there are thousands of kids sitting home enjoying a snow day. Except there is no snow. LOL

The air was filled with blowing snowflakes this morning when I woke up, but the snow melted as soon as it hit the ground. I’m actually glad that we don’t have the snow to deal with, and I’m sure the kids are happy to have a day at home playing video games and watching TV as well as playing with all the new goodies that they got for Christmas just a few weeks ago. So hopefully these kids who should be at school aren’t causing too much grief for their parents on a day that just didn’t turn out the way that all the weathermen predicted it would be, but that isn’t much of a surprise now is it? Even with all of today’s modern technologies that are in place, they still can’t accurately predict what Mother Nature has up her sleeve.
