And This is My Day-Off from Work

Today is my day-off from work. I  would love to stay on bed and sleep longer since the weather is quite cold and it is really nice just to stay in bed. The past few days, we were still turning on the heater some hours in the afternoon until evening because  the temperature inside the house drops to 18 degree Celsius if the heater is  off the whole day.

This morning, I already woke-up at 7:30. I would love to wake-up at  around 9:00 AM but since I still have a lot of things to do, I have no choice but to get-off  from bed. I took my morning ceremony which is taking my favorite gingered-lemon flavored green tea. I paired it with toasted sliced bread. On top of  it is strawberry marmalade and the the other one is with German meat salad. After taking my breakfast, I went for  shower and made me ready to start all the errands for the  day.

Latest Floor Cleaning Concepts that can Help You

When people get busy, one of the first things that tends to fall by the wayside is the amount of time spent on floor maintenance. Yet keeping floors clean on a regular basis is the number one way to extend the life-span of your rugs, carpets, or floor. It is also one of the best ways to remove excess dust in your home, which can contribute to asthma.

Here are some of the latest floor cleaning concepts that can aid you:

Floor mopping robots: It seems odd that it has taken this long for people with hard floors to get some relief from daily or weekly mopping, but floor mopping robots are now in their 5th generation and are showing all the signs of being as efficient as a human can be in many circumstances. On the positive side, the technology has been enhanced so much, there is no real spot in your room that a robot will miss. They are also very adept at cleaning your floor very well. The only negatives are that homeowners are still often locked into buying proprietary cleaning fluid and in some cases, the cleaning cycle doesn't get the robot through a large room without needing to be recharged.

Planning a Renovation Budget

Are you ready to make a significant change to your home? The idea of a renovation project can be a daunting task, but it can give you the home of your dreams. Once you decide that a renovation project is worth exploring, you will want to start with a budget before anything else so you know what you can get for your budget.

Creating a budget for a renovation project starts with knowing what you can afford. Have you been saving? Do you plan to get a loan for the project? Once the overall budget is set, you will want to do some research on the general cost of your specific type of renovation. This will help you determine if your project is feasible and what type of materials can be used to complete it.

Remember, the cost of materials is just half of the budget. You will also have to consider the cost of labor. If you are not sure what that costs, then you can start getting quotes from contractors to help you determine the cost.

If you are planning a renovation project in the near future, you can see more information about contractors, budgets and builders in your area. That way, you can walk into your next project with a clear plan to get it done on time and on budget.

Patio and Garden Projects

2012 is almost over.  I believed everybody is looking forward for a better and prosperous New Year 2013. Everybody wants to live a happy, peaceful and abundant life with all the basic wants and needs provided in our day to day living. Right folks?

I am thankful that during the past months of 2012, we had accomplished a lot. Minor and major renovation in our home and garden were done and some are just started.

In the coming year 2013, we plan to finish other home and garden projects. Here are some in our list;

Garden Furniture- We have a garden set but it is made of plastic. We are planning to replace it with wooden garden furniture. I hope this will be materialized next year. When most of  our major projects are done, for sure we can buy a better one.

Garden Lights and Lighting- Since we built our patio, I have no idea where did I put our solar lights for our garden. I guess they are not working anymore because they already obsolete. I am planning to buy new ones next year.

Garden House- We still have a little space left for a garden house. I only have plants and flowers in our garden but if we will build a garden house next year, I would surely plant organic vegetables like tomatoes, cucumber, eggplant, beans and others.

Fish Tank- I have a big one of this in my home country. If we are done with our bathroom and kitchen renovations early next year, I would love to buy a little fist tank with maybe around 30-40 litres size. I saw one in my friend's house last month and it reminds me of the one I have back home. Watching the fishes swimming and the accessories inside feel so relaxing.
