Fun Facts About Commercial Flooring

DISCLAIMERM6LM

When you decide to do a big job such as commercial flooring you should really do some research because there is a lot of information. Once you have committed to your purchase, it is expensive to change your mind later on, so make sure you choose wisely. When people come into your establishment your flooring is something that is going to be very noticeable. The more intriguing it is, the more people will flock to it and will want to return to your establishment just for the glamour and comfort they feel when they enter. Some that think its just a floor; why worry about it, but that is not always true.

When choosing  what floors you want,  reach out to a few different resources to see what they think and come to your own conclusion. One place that you can start is by visiting your local flooring store and seeing what information that they have to offer and the products they have. Having flooring that is durable and will last for many years is something you must keep in mind. It may cost more but should also be durable, especially if it will be a high traffic area.

The five things that you always want to keep in mind when choosing a floor is the performance, and there are five very important things to factor in. These five things are the cost, how it will stand up to traffic capacity, the moisture tolerance it will have, the visual appeal it will create, and how easy it will be for the installation process.

When I was doing some research on the internet,  I have found out that many people seem to chose an option called LVT Flooring. What is an LVT flooring? You may be wondering, well, it’s elegant flooring  with an elegant design that is also a very durable material and extremely easy maintain. With Lvt,you are choosing a product that has a more natural look, which is beautiful  in itself.

I have learned about LVT because  it is made from PVC, which makes it a much tougher material that will last you much longer  than other floorings out there. It is a “polyvinyl chloride.” for those who don’t even know or even heard of   PVC . It is a   “polyvinyl chloride”. What that means is that it is a material that is economically friendly and affordable. It also has many other things that make it beneficial: it does not collect conduct electricity. If it were to catch fire for some reason, it would slowly go out because it contains chlorine and has low oxygen, making it fire retardant. That in it self makes more sense to go with an LVT flooring.

My first Stop as far as a commercial flooring would be to check out an LVT.

 

 

Facts About Soft Story Retrofit And Much More

DISCLAIMERM6LM

 

For those of you that do not know much about A soft-story building I will share with you what I have learned. A soft-story building is a structure in which has a weaker first floor and is no longer able  carry all of the weight of the rest of the stories above it when an earthquake happens.

Retrofit is an improvement that is made to a structure to make it much stronger. The cost of these improvements can be very expensive. The average cost for a single building can range at an estimated cost between $10,000 – $80, 000. where an apartment building can run you an estimated cost of $80,000 to $350,000. Although these prices are high these are just estimates they have different ways to fix this I am sure depending on the condition of the building. One of the ways that this can be fixed is so that it does not collapse or some use the word pancake, might involve them adding some steel moment frames, shear walls, diagonal bracing, or even fusing.

Most of the soft-story building were built before the 1980’s and the used skinny poles to build things. These poles are very weak especially now because so much time has passes that in an earthquake they will snap and crush the first floor.

Have you ever heard some talk about an ADU well if you are like me I have not until this point. This is very interesting to learn about. What is an ADU well it is an abbreviation for Accessory dwelling unit. They have other names that they are associated with such as being called granny flats, in-law units, backyard cottages. These accessory dwelling units are basically a way to have a second unit that is more affordable and is a very effective way to add much needed housing.

While the cost can be lower depending on what you are looking to add it can be a positive income for you. The ADU will generate extra income which in turn end up paying for its self. With doing some research I have learned that there is two types of ADU’s. The first is a regular on that on average is 1200 sq feet and they have a junior ADU which averages about 500 sq feet. The most come reason choose to do an ADU is to keep family closer such as their elder parents. Its hard for your parents to completely give up their independence, but with having an ADU on your property they can have their own space still. You will still be able to help them when needed you assistance.

When you are planning to build an ADU their is a lot of planning that has to be done. You need to make sure that you get the proper permits and stay within the zoning regulations before you even begin. You will also always want to keep the neighbors in your mind. If you build something that maybe considered an eye sore the neighbors may give you a hard time. The reason they may do this is because they may think that it will drive down the price of their property.

Things To Know About Hospice

DISCLAIMERM6LM

Well there are some things that we really just do not want to think about or put any time into but can never be avoided. But we should really take the time and do research on them before it is to late for ourselves or a loved one. If you are wondering what I am talking about it is Hospice and also the billing aspect of it. most of are never really ready or want to talk about the facts and knowledge that surrounds this topic. But the thing for sure is that it will defiantly affect us all at one point in our lives.

There is a lot of useful information out there that can be most helpful to you to guide you through this very difficult time in your life.

With Hospice care is designed to make the patient and family as comfortable as possible during this time. They design a plan that will help with the best care needed to manage the symptoms and the pain. This care is with take into the fact of the wishes of the patient and their families to make this as best as it can be under the circumstances. They will encourage everyone to spend as much time together as possible.

Hospice is for people with advanced illness the patients have a serious illness their age, beliefs or culture doesn’t play a factor it is uniquely designed for the individual and family. As for where this place can take place that is a decision that the patient can decide on where they fill most comfortable on being. If for some reason the patient decides they no longer what this care they have the right to revoke it at anytime. The Hospice team is trained to be a support system for all that who is involved.

With all this information that I have given you their is one very important thing that I have left out that is also really scary to talk about al that is the hospice billing company and cost of it all. We are already going thru a painful time and this is not something that I think we are all prepared for. They have companies out there that specialize in just that line of work and they work with the hospice companies to help the navigate the best way to get great coverage and pass the savings on to you. If I where to make a suggestion I would research on the company you are thinking about using to see if the reviews are great. You can ask around and get some suggestions on some companies that others have used. The sad truth is that not all companies are honest and looking out for you they are i it for the money. Check with your insurance company and see if they have any suggestions on what companies are good with hospice billing. I have done some research and found this website that breaks down a lot of this information for you.

I myself have heard that if you put cinnamon in your coffee or tea it has some kind of benefits for you. There is a website that gives information on what supplements are good for women and men. My mom actually used to tell my bother and I that if you eat carrots it will help your eye site and you wont need glasses. I did believe her then but now as an adult I do not really believe that. My Mom and Dad wear glasses now so the carrots didn’t make an impact on them. Some things I find for myself work but I an not sure if they are beneficial for others. The thing that work for me are that I have started putting lemon in my water and not only does it taste better and I drink more. With putting the lemon in my water I have noticed that i am less bloated and my body is flushed out better.

Just the little things like cutting done my carb intake on a day to day basis has helped me to to lose weight. At one point I was very over weight and was lost within myself. You can also cut down on fried foods or change you frying oil to maybe coconut oil, peanut or even grape seed oil when frying.  if you have not invested in an are fryer I would suggest investing in on of those I absolutely love my and now cook mostly all of my foods in one.

Avoiding A Bad Home Loan

DISCLAIMERM6LM

 

 

 

 

When I was a younger and was able to apply for my very first credit card I did and I continued with many more after that one. My parents did have a talk with me about getting to many cards and spending to much on them. They warned me that it was an easy thing to do at my young age I was to going to get myself into trouble and of course as at that age I did not listen to them. The bills were starting to come in and began piling up on me it seemed as though they were coming faster and faster but of course they were not. They began to increase in amounts due to me only paying the minimum amout due so, I was having trouble paying them off.  This was a  very dumb decisions on my part I wish that I had just listened to my parents.  My credit score dropped and continued to drop and it effected me in so many ways and still does to this day. I have done some research on buying a home with bad credit and have found this site to be helpful as a guide on how to improve your credit.

 

As an adult I would love to own my own home but because of my credit score the interest rate is higher for me than someone else that has good credit. If you are looking for a home in Flordia and have not so great credit you should check out these many different options for bad credit  loans. Below I will List some of they loans that are offered there is sure to be one that will help you achieve your goal of buying a house.

Nonconventional Loans for Bad Credit which is a great option just because they have low down payment and have flexible approval requirements. The FHA has a programs and offers insurance that encourages lenders to approve a wider range of clients even those with bad credit. Your credit score can be 580 and can be as low as 3.5% down even if its 500 you could qualify as low as 10% down.

 

Subprime Loans for bad credit which are loans for people who have bad marks on their financial history these tend to have higher interest rates than a conventional home financing.  If your credit score is lower than 660 it is very possible to secure one of these types of loans.

 

Hard Money Loans or loans that are based off of the property that is being financed instead of the borrower’s credit. This loan is also used for people who are buying property to flip or as a temporary loan until their credit can be repaired. These loans have a higher interest loan than the conventional loan.

Most of the time the response is going to be I bought it on Amazon or from a certain department store. With the times that we are in today due to pandemic most people learned how to buy a lot of the everyday needs online.

One thing to remember is that a lot of us may know how to buy items on line not everyone knows how to sell things online successfully. Over this past year a lot of the items that we are used to using and having available to us at a moments notice and really need have been extremely hard to find and expensive once you do find them.

You need to go away some where at a moments notice no problem just grab your laptop and go. Your over head costs are much lower when don’t have to have a store front and base online. If you are needing a company to help you just do your research on the company to see exactly what they offer and if it is a great fit for you and your business goals. Their are websites that our out there that can give you an overall greater understanding on the companies you maybe interested in working with such as Linkedin. Make sure that you read any customer reviews that other customers have posted. Keep in mind you will probably run into so negative comments but you will just have to way them out it is hard to please everyone.

Things To Know About Small Business And Marketing

DISCLAIMERM6LM

With things the way they have been around the world this past year it has given people the time to make some changes. It has been a very hard for a lot of families with the rate of unemployment sky rocketing like it has during this pandemic. Some families have went from a two income family to a no income family at a blink of an eye. Some people have a lot of extra time on their hands and have decided to take their financial future and freedom on them selves.

But their is a lot of things to learn about when starting a small business. I am going to list a few below to help point you in the right direction.

One of the most over looked and free marketing strategy would be simply just the word of mouth. This can get you a great start on getting your products or services out there. Your Family and friends talk to their family and friends about your business and the cycle just continues on.

Once a month you can send out news letters to all of those who have signed up to inform them of anything that you are offering.

You can offer a giveaway for everyone to enter for a chance to win. It is a small price to pay to get people interested in you. Make incentives for them if they share such as extra chances to win. People will share more and it will drive more people to your website.

Another great tool is to create a customer survey to send out this will help you to understand your strengths and weakness. This will also make your customers feel important.

Social media is great way to get your small business out their it is so easy for people to share your products with others. They do have paid options such as Facebook that can get costly on some platforms but some do not if you choose to go that route. I would just do your research.

As you grow and your company is big enough you can reach out to companies such as common thread company https://commonthreadco.com/ they take your dreams and make them into real strategies with very specific goals that will help the growth of your company.

 

A lot of this information has really helped my daughter start up her company during these uncertain times. I have watched  her grow and progress so much.

Getting noticed on google is really hard the process is difficult. But just think if someone typed up what you do or what you offer and your company came up how great that can be. Common thread can help you with getting you to that growth goal.

I would do a lot of reach and once you get yourself to the point where you are so big that you need guidance reach out to companies that can help you manage things. I did find a website that has some great information on it, just click on the link right above here.

 

Things To Know About PKI Certificate

DISCLAIMERM6LM

 

 

There are a lot of things that you should know about PKI and the benefits that can be gained from it. This is something that I knew nothing about but upon doing some research I have really gained a lot of very useful and knowledge. Although I am not a big company it will still help me with the way I do things on my blog.

One thing that I have learned is that in todays world passwords are just not enough to secure anything. You should always have extra additional precautions to protect your most valuable information that your business has from all the cyber thieves out their. The benefit of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is that you will be able to make use of  an advanced authentication and even encryption to help to make things less grievous on your end of things.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) has three main key security level focus points which are as follows:

Authentication what this does is that it will validate identities to will allow access only to those that are authorized users and only the selected devices that have access to a server. Encryption which will use a certificate that will develop an encrypted session, so that all of your information can be used privately. The third thing is Data Integrity this will make sure that any messages or data that is transferred to and from all devices and servers are not changed in any way.

 

 

There is an even easier way to managed PKI service that is with the company keyfactor. The service that they offer is that you can move your  Public Key Infrastructure to a cloud service. With Keyfactor you wont get stuck in manual just hand it over to their team and get back to your tasks at hand. By going with cloud PKI you will not have to buy any expensive hardware have to deal with any problems with software installs. They offer to create and secure your information to the highest level possible. You will have full access to your to all of your stuff with just a simple subscription and that’s it. With this subscription you will have all of your stuff up and running within days. This is a perfect way to go with no hassle concept or headaches. You will get the digital certificate that you need for this service.  I really like the fact that they offer these services in a cloud so you don’t have to worry about losing everything if your computers crash or another fortunate accident happens. Your information is safe and sound stored in a cloud. The technology that is available now sure has come a long ways. Over the years I have lost so much of my documents, photos, and other important information that I have stored due to a malfunction of some kind. I think that this a great thing to have for your business to take that worry away.

They state on their website  that you will have “Secure PKI designed to support DevOps, Cloud, and IoT deployments requiring millions of certificates”.

Roaming Control And Business

DISCLAIMERM6LM

 

When you are using the  roaming control feature on your phone you a basically connecting yourself to another carrier network. although this is a very convenient feature it can also be very costly. Many mobile carrier companies offer this feature as an extra package if you were to go on vacation outside of your service area. In these packages it will help you manage your text messages, sms api, and surf the web and help with the cost from incoming and out going calls. Yes even if some calls you outside of your service area you get an additional cost for that.

When I went on a cruise I didn’t know that I needed to have that extra package to be able to use my phone properly. The data and phone time that on vacation outside of my area was not a whole lot but when I returned back home and got my bill it was outrageously expensive.

There are many companies out there that specialize in these types of things. For instance their is one of companies that  is called Syniverse Mobile Policy Control Center. What this company has to offer and what it does is it makes roaming control better for users, and will make it more profitable for you overall. This company has many different options that I am sure that you will find very useful. They can control and shape data usage in real time.

They will Monitor and give you the  guidance to distinct applications and it will give you stability to the use just what the network has to offer and will make the changes to things if they need some have adjustments. They will provide you with the necessary information to decide and determine which one of the pre-defined data plans are needed.  The have an opt-in program that is made with real time discernibility of the data usage. When the plan expires they will  offer another plan to upgrade to that can be customized just for your needs.

Upon doing some research I can across a website that states that their is even an app for your android phone that can help you with roaming control. This app that is called royaming control can also be found in google play store. The site states that the purpose of the app is that you should be able to enable or disable your mobile data whether its in airplane mode or auto synced do to the active network operator. It can also screen incoming calls on certain networks if you want it to. The app offers many things but I have never personally tried it out so I would do a little more research on it and see if it is a good fit for your needs before you use it.

If you are interested in watching some videos on roaming contols i have came across some here.  I am sure they will help answer some of your unanswered questions that you may have. There is a lot of information out their to help you make the best decisions for you. Don’t be like me and wait until its too late and spend a lot of money that doesn’t need to be spent.

 

Sustainable Energy

DISCLAIMERM6LM

 

Sustainable energy is leading to a green economy. With more and more using sustainable energy this will help with the global energy problem that we are faceing. When using this technique we can help meet the demand of energy. This process with help limit some of the damage and danger that we are causing to our environment.Not only is this a method that that can be used over and over again but it is a cost effective plan. The enessitial set up can be costly but in the long run sustainable energy will save you a lot of money. I wish that they offered it cheaper because I really feel like a lot more people would lean more to this option. I myself have that about this myself but the setup cost for me is to much. There are some electrical companies that offer it to you if you are a homeowner which I am not. So if this is something that is of interest  to you I would encourage you to check it out and see if any companies in your area offer a no to low cost program for sustainable energy.

For those of us who are unclear of just what sustainable energy is which is something that I am still trying to learn myself I will talk about it below. I hope that this information will give you some more knowledge and insight on what sustainable energy is.

The most commonly known sustainable energy forms are water, wind, and solar. But that is not all the is also some called geothermal energy and bioenergy. Geothermal energy is a thermal energy that is generated and stored in the earth. Bioenergy is a renewable energy which is created from from natural sources. These sources come from such things as plants, animals, oceans , biomass, hydroelectric, and hydrogen. The great thing about bioenergy is that if you minimized the impact as long as the plants that are used are replaced.

When you use solar energy you are getting the energy from the sunlight and turning it into heat, electricity or even hot water. Most farm use the wind with turbines to convert it into electricity. Some use Hydro generarators but they need enough rain to fill dams for their supply of water.

Sometimes people that live off grid or in very issulated areas tend to have a hard time generating the amounts of electricity that they need compared to just using the fossil fuel generators due to the lack of energy facilities.

I have been told that Douglas Healy has some knowledge of Sustainable energy so if you would like to reach out to him on LinkedIn by clicking on his name above.

I really do feel that by getting more information out there on the benefits of sustainable energy that more and more people will gain knowledge and seek it out. The information that I have read on the subject seems to to be more of a positive option to using it than not.

 

 

ONecklace Personalized Jewelry

DISCLAIMERM6LM

When I had my daughter I decided to give her a name that was not common do to my name being very common. The reason that I choose to do that is because every where I went their seemed to be so many peoplewith the name Michelle. Even now as a adult it seems to still happen to me just at work alone their is four Michelle’s on my flour alone. The problem that I ran into is that every store that sold personalized items never had her name. She was disappointed that she couldn’t find anything for her. At that time I was unaware of companies that specialized in such things.

I have found a company called oNecklace that offers to personalize jewelry for a great price. I was very pleased with my necklace that I had made for my Daughter. Once I placed my order I had it within a week which I feel is great. They also come with a certificate of Authenticity so you know exactly what you have bought.

With the holidays coming I think that this is a wonderful gift to anyone on your list. They are reasonably priced and they are also having an awesome sale right now.

5 Ways to Ease Moving to a New School on Kids

DISCLAIMERM6LM

Telling children that they are going to be transferring to a new school is never a comfortable subject. Children are typically fond of the friends they have made and fear to leave them behind. Just as children have a fear of going to school for the first time, switch to a new school often comes with the same concern. Here we will show you how to ease the topic of switching schools on your child.

 

1. Decide on the Perfect Time

There is really no great time to break this news to your little one. However, there is a way to create a situation that is more favorable to introduce the topic to your child. You know your child best and can decide what the ideal situation might be. We will give some examples that may help you decide how to address this issue shortly.

 

2. Make a List of Positive Points

You have to be prepared with your talking points because this subject can turn emotional for your child very quickly. Framing the conversation properly is of the utmost importance. Start by making a list of the great things that will come from going to the new school.
This may include things that you are willing to do for your children outside of school to make things better. Perhaps you are moving out of your Washington, DC townhouses and into a home where they will have a larger bedroom or will have access to a better park, where they can play and meet new friends.

 

3. Consider How to Soften the Mood

Aside from the positive talking points, decide how to best set the mood for introducing this touchy subject. Anticipate what you will do if your child starts to cry while you are speaking about the shift. An excellent way to do this is to tell a story about when you had to switch schools as a child and how you were able to adjust and make new friends.

 

4. Plan an Exciting Outing

Planning a trip to an amusement park or similar exciting place before telling your child is a way to make sure they are in good spirits before breaking the news to them. Avoid sounding sad and somber when telling them about the change. Stay upbeat and mention the positive points you listed. Include that they can even stay in contact with all of their old friends while making new friends at their new school.

 

5. Throw a Party and Invite New Classmates

Never underestimate the power of the pizza party. Plan a pizza party and invite the children from your child’s class to make new friends and also make your child seem super cool to their new classmates.

Conclusion

While it is natural for children to fear going to a new school and leaving their friends behind, it becomes easier when they can make new friends quickly. If there is anything that you can do to help them make new friends, this should be done right away. Be supportive and bring the fun and games.

Lugz has done it again with their new line of the Men’s Mondo Oxford Sneakers. With having a big family we have tried many different shoe brands over the years. My husband and I always seem to go right to Lugz for our next purchase. He has a pair of Lugz for every occasion and has never complained about sore feet. He has even worn them to the county fair and with all the walking and chasing our kids around that you do there you tend to suffer for aches and pains in your feet through out the day. He says that they are so comfortable and light on his feet that he doesn’t even feel them. He catches a lot of eyes when wearing them and people ask him where he bought them. He did get his in white and black which I thought at first was a crazy thing for him to do. But after seeing them I now know why he did pick them because they are absolutely stunning. They have padded tongue, collar and insoles and come with a cool jagger edge sawtooth sole.  I know that this color might not work for you so I happy to say they also come white mars red and white navy. These men’s shoes start in a size 7 and go up to size 13 and they are of a great price of $49.99.

Whether you are a professional at wood working or just making things as a hobby the Russian Lathe Knife is a great tool to have. If you have ever had the chance to use a skew tool then you will find this one even better. This is a tool that is cross between a Skew Tool and a knife. Many things can be made with this tool because you can also cut beads and create a sharp edge. When using this tool you will be able to slice clean shavings which is part an important part of wood crafting. Once you have attached a piece of wood to a lathe you with be able to create many things.
These tools are a must have for wood turning they go way back as this art has been performed for many years throughout history. For the most part these tools are made with a wooden handle and a stainless steel blade. What you need to do is just attach a piece of wood on a lathe with the wood grain running in the same direction as the lathe. After you have done that you can just begin creating your piece of art. They have been using them to create certain  pieces of furniture such as newel posts, chair legs, bedposts and even rails, cups, bowls,and rolling pins. They have some great videos on YouTube using a similar tool here.
My husband loves to create things out of wood in the garage and I think that this would be a very great tool for him to add to his collection. When he is outside working he gets in a zone it is almost like a stress reliever for him. He is very talented at what he does he says its just a hobby for him. Although his grandfather used to build fine furniture for living out of his workshop he had on his land he was self taught and was also very talented. My husband has always looked up to his Grandfather and has talked highly of him for as long as i can remember. I really feel that my husband is just as talented as him and with the right tools he can create many things. Over the years he has made us many things such as dressers, bedroom furniture, a kitchen table, cutting boards and so much more.
This is an amazing tool that has endless possibilities and The Russian lathe knife was created by a father and son who love working together and creating wonderful things. I absolutely love the story behind the start up of this company The Memorial Woodworking. It is truly inspiring the love that the grandfather had for his grandson and the time that they spent together had such a great impact on them all.
.
Even though there is a tool that is similar that is being used In Russia now is one is different and more improved. By the end of 2019 Memorial Woodworking.com is expecting to have the process finalized and lathe knives ready for sale! This is something that you are not going to want to miss out on so here is where you can submit your information and be notified when they are available.
