Love It or Leave It - Renovate or Stay
  
Last month, I hosted this event at the Lake Bonavista Community Center.
We had a fantastic response. The information provide by Kerri Markle, Corrie Fiesel, Nivi Uppal, Gerard Williams and myself was excellent.
I only had 5-10 minutes to talk, but I learned something from each of the presenters and I'm in the business, so that information was great! I received a great deal of positive feedback from participants after it was done.
One think that was interesting that Corrine touched on was Home Owners Title Insurance. If you have homeowner's title insurance on your home (which doesn't cost too much extra if you are getting lender title insurance when you finance your home), you could protect yourself from potential builder/contractor caveats in the future.
We will be hosting this event again in the future, probably in a venue in the North. If you are interested in attending the next one, let me know and I will make sure to let you know when the date, time and location has been set.
Ski Season is over
This year's season of skiing is now done and I have to say I miss it.
We had our last days of skiing in April. This image is of Danielle, waiting for us to come down and catch her.
This season of skiing was so much fun. I really had a blast this year, the snow was really good and it's nice to spend some great time with Lillian and the kids.
Although the weather wasn't the best in Calgary, it really was perfect out on this slopes.
Now is seems summer is here. Over this last weekend, I can't believe how nice it's been. Time now to get out for a bike ride, some hiking and more!
House Cleaning with non-Toxic Products
When consumers buy commercial cleaning products, we expect them to do one thing: clean! We use a wide array of scents, soaps, detergents, bleaching agents, softeners, scourers, polishes, and specialized cleaners for bathrooms, glass, drains, and ovens to keep our homes sparkling and sweet-smelling.
While the chemicals in cleaners foam, bleach, and disinfect to make our dishes, bathtubs and countertops gleaming and germ-free, many also contribute to indoor air pollution, are poisonous if ingested, and can be harmful if inhaled or touched. In fact, some cleaners are among the most toxic products found in the home.
In 2000, cleaning products were responsible for nearly 10% of all toxic exposures reported to U.S. Poison Control Centers, accounting for 206,636 calls. Of these, 120,434 exposures involved children under six, who can swallow or spill cleaners stored or left open inside the home.
Cleaning ingredients vary in the type of health hazard they pose. Some cause acute, or immediate, hazards such as skin or respiratory irritation, watery eyes, or chemical burns, while others are associated with chronic, or long-term, effects such as cancer.
A friend of my has a house cleaning business that uses all natural products. Safe for you, your kids and your pets...
