sprinkler repair June 2018 When the sprinklers were turned on a couple of weeks ago, two in the front yard were not working correctly, so I called Walt C. to come by and repair them. He assessed the area and discovered the ash tree roots had created a kink in the PVC pipe, resulting in limited water flow. Once the problem was discovered, Walt set to work and made the repair. I am pleased with the work that Walt has done for me the last few years: repairs to an aging sprinkling system, winterization, and sprinkler adjustment. He is a pleasant young man, and his repairs are reasonably priced. If you need someone to maintain, repair, or install a sprinkling system, contact me for Walt's phone number: I highly recommend him.

June 2017 Last Fall, the front door of my home was replaced, but the days soon turned too cold to paint. Throughout the long Winter, I pondered what color to paint the door, and green kept nudging its way into my subconscious. The siding on my house is a pale yellow, and the area around the entry is brick. I needed a color that would complement both. Does anyone remember the song, "Green Door" - it's a catchy tune and may stick with you all day if you click on the image below. What color is your front door?
