  • Storing Your Favourite Car Over Winter Thursday, December 29, 2011
    For a car, inactivity can do just as much damage as it does for us people! Damage of nearly every kind can occur from just sitting, such as rotting rubber, mildew development, rust, engine parts can seize , and batteries can go dead. Here's how to prevent this from happening to your car: 1. Give your classic a good detailing. Wash all road grime and salts from the undercarriage as well as body parts. Give the entire car a good wax. 2. Once your vehicle is ready to be parked for the winter, change or drain all related fluids, especially while the car is still warm. 3. Drain the fuel tank if you are going to store your car for more than six months. Once you have drained the tank, start the engine and run the rest of the gas out of the lines. Old gas will clog carburetors. If you only store your car for a few months, you can just add gasoline stabilizer to delay deterioration. 4. Drain the cooling sy ..

  • Spring Cleaning: Map It Out Friday, April 22, 2011
    With the snow melting and the weather beginning to warm, it is easy to get into the mood for spring cleaning. It is amazing how some sunshine and spring temperatures can motivate you to get things done. In spite of our enthusiasm to get going on our spring cleaning, we can easily get bogged down in the immensity of the task. Where do I start, when every area of the house is in need of de-cluttering and deep cleaning? The place to start is by simply sitting down and mapping out a plan. Make a list of the things that need to be done: Rooms and closets to be cleaned, packing away winter wear, window screens, carpet cleaning, window coverings. Determine which room will be your starting point and then make your list in the order in which you plan to accomplish your tasks. It’s amazing how empowered you can feel by simply having created that plan of action. Next determine your plan of attack on your rooms. Always begin with the closets or storage spaces. It will be diffi ..

  • Create a Storage Strategy Thursday, February 10, 2011
    Now that you have recycled or found new homes for your unwanted stuff, you are left to organize the stuff you want to keep. The pile of stuff to fix should be fairly small and easy to organize. Designate a place in your home to store these items. It could be a mending basket in the laundry room, or a dedicated shelf in the garage. Wherever it is, it must be easily accessible – you don’t want this stuff to get lost at the back of a cupboard again! The last, and likely largest, pile of stuff is comprised of the keepers. To create a storage strategy, it will be necessary to split this pile up into further categories. Maybe you have saved some older household items to give to a child or grandchild when they move out on their own. These are things that you will never use again and can be packed up, clearly marked and stored until they are needed again. Seasonal stuff – like holiday decorations, winter and summer sports equipment – will go unused for the bet ..

  • Are you surrounded by stuff? Tuesday, January 11, 2011
    Most of us are. By this time of year, the stuff seems to be taking over. It’s everywhere. From cold weather clothing and sports equipment to holiday decorations and gifts, there is stuff at every turn. Where did it all come from? And where will you store it? Is closing your eyes and throwing it in the basement really an option this year? For many of us, the New Year brings with it a sense of obligation – obligation to improve on the year gone by. We make resolutions and set goals, and more often than not, we fall short of achievement. If you aim to clear the clutter and get the house in order, then you have chosen to aim high! But you know you have a daunting task ahead of you. At any point in the process, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But there are ways of easing the burden. To begin, make a list of all your storage spaces. The big ones include attics, basements, garages and self-storage units. You may have other, smaller ..
