Old Faithful

​If you want to avoid this in the spring, FALL is the time to make plans for having your sprinklers blown out. 

Be sure, after you have had your sprinkler lines blown out, that you have the main valve reopened. This will allow any remaining water to drain from your system into the larger irrigation pipes to avoid it freezing and causing the the valve to break.

If not drained from the valve, come spring you could find you have your own personal geyser, which is usually the cause of our irrigation water being turned off several times in the spring... to allow a homeowner to have the valve repaired.

Be considerate of your neighbors and have your irrigation system blown out and properly shut down for the winter.

Trash Can Placement Sidewalk or Gutter...

5/14/2019

 
The company that provides trash collection services for the City of Meridian, have indicated that their preference is for trash cans to be placed in the gutter. 

So the answer is that trash cans are to be placed in the gutter on collection day, and remember after the trash is collected the cans need to be removed from the street an placed behind a fence or out of sight.

Spring is here and so is our water

LED-Lighting Can Mimic the Changing Hues of Natural Light

10/15/2015

 
Researchers are looking at how dialing up and down the brightness, color and richness of household lighting can help regulate our circadian rhythms, the body changes that occur in response to light cues each day. 


In the living room: Where people gather to watch TV or play games, a whiter light is best. Turning off electronic devices and switching to a softer, warmer color of yellow or orange two hours before bed will encourage sleep.


The kitchen: The quality of light for cooking is a major consideration. Lights with high-color rendering help colors pop and bring out details of meat, vegetables and other ingredients. It helps the food look good.

Bathroom: A color-rendering index, or CRI, over 90 is desirable for applying makeup or shaving. We need more light to see as we age, so a dimmable light allows people to adjust the lighting.

Adult bedrooms: Dimmable lights with a warmer glow are ideal to minimize the disruption of melatonin, the hormone that makes us sleepy. It is produced when the lighting dims.

Hallways: Ultralow and warm lighting helps people navigate halls and stairs without affecting their night vision.

Not to mention, you can achieve as much as a 90% energy savings over incandescent bulbs and 50% to 70% over CFL (flouresent) bulbs. The LED bulbs also last longer, anywhere from 5 to 50 times longer. See this Comparison Chart

10 steps to thwart an identity thief

8/20/2015

 
The U.S. Department of Justice reports that 16.6 million adults were victimized by ID theft in 2012 and many incidents go unreported.
You can keep you accounts safe with these tips:
  1. Have a locking mailbox or use a post office box. 
  2. Never carry your Social Security card. Keep it in a safe place at home. Protect the card and card numbers because they are keys to your banking and credit information. 
  3. Set up a pass code on your smart phone. 
  4. Limit personal information that comes by mail. 
  5. Never leave information in your car. According to an AARP survey, 19 percent of Americans 18 to 49 admitted to leaving a wallet or purse in their locked car during the past week. 
  6. Shred documents that contain personal information: bank and credit card statements, tax forms and medical bills. 
  7. Keep computer passwords in a safe place, not your Internet browser. When throwing away an old computer, remove and destroy the hard drive. 
  8. Establish online accounts with the three credit reporting agencies, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Most Americans don't have online access to their accounts with these credit bureaus. 
  9. Keep only necessary credit, debit and identification cards in your purse or wallet. Store photocopies of your wallet contents in a safe place. 
  10. Never give credit card or Social Security numbers over the phone unless you initiated the call. Ask phone solicitors to send information by mail if you are interested in their products.
