Health Advice for Women

Plumber, tiling,  clogged drains and raising the kids.

Is that what my life boils down to?

I went to college thinking I’ll make lots of money and hire someone to do home improvements and home repair when I’m older, but I have come to find great joy in doing some of the work around the house!

You may have read my articles on “killing your carpet”. Carpets are really bad for your health. When they are new the chemical off-gassing is enough to fry your brain, but over time they collect ever germ, dust ball, food spill in your house.

I ripped out every carpet in my house and installed tile and wood flooring. My allergies and chemical sensitivities improved more than they’ve ever improved in my life!

So last month, I moved to a few house and ripped all the carpets out. This time I decided I was going to learn how to tile. It was hard work but not that difficult to learn. The best part is that I get constant gratification walking on these floors, knowing I took part in the creation. So be it tiling or a plumbing repair job, take heart, you can learn new skills! Here’s another one of my favorite websites for home repair. http://www.louisvilleplumbingandheating.com/

The most expensive thing we ever buy in our lives is usually our home? The repairs or improvements to our home are also big expenditures. But the crazy thing is that most of us are completely lost when it comes to anything to do with home repair! If something breaks we call our local plumber, heating, air conditioning or electrical repair guy, right?

The biggest secret is that you can easily fix many of the things yourself! We’ve just never learned how to do it. Now, don’t get me wrong. If the compressor is broken on my air conditioning, I’m calling an air conditioning repair service, pronto. But do you know what you can fix and when to call a repair guy?

So take control ladies. It’s the greatest feeling in the world to fix something in your house. The internet has provided our generation a plethora of information on just about everything you can imagine. Some of it takes a little googling (searching on google.com) but you would be surprised at the information available. Go to google and type on “plumbing repair” and you will be surprised at what pops up.

I’ve found some websites that give tips on how to fix common plumbing repairs and what things they recommend a professional for. Some of these websites give written instructions as well as videos. Louisville Plumbing and Heating is a website that I’ve used with great tips on plumbing, plumbers in my local area and air conditioning repair. For a natural way to unclog a drain check out Erie Plumbing and Heating.

Take the challenge ladies, next time you have a home repair get online and see if you can fix it yourself.
