How To Control Ice Damming

December 24, 2007 on 2:36 am | In Houses To Go General | No Comments

A roof full of snow can lead to ice damming. Many factors lead to ice damming and one of the major cause is lack of insulation and ventilation. You ask how does venting effect snow on the roof? The air in the attic does not flow through the attic area effectively, heating the roof sheathing and the snow above it melts to quickly. This hits the gutter system and then builds ice dams. Some people feel safe because when they had their last roof installed they had ice and dam shield installed. This can give a great since of security but, it does not protect the gutter system.

The ice and dam goes up about four feet from the gutter line. This is usually high enough so the melting snow does not back up under the roof and get into the wall and cause interior water damage and problems associated with water in the houses walls. So, it helps against water damage, it does not control the ice damming problem. This is a part of a series of things that can help with ice damming and prevention of ice damming.

The addition of roof vents and eve vents to help the flow of the air in the attic. When the air flows through the roof freely it is harder for it to warm and cause the snow to melt above to melt to quickly. The addition of insulation goes along with the ventilation. The added layers of insulation control the loss of heat from below to the attic area. These two things help to control ice damming from happening the most.

There is the addition of roof heating wires which can be used to keep the ice from forming and allows the water to flow off the roof and flowing through the gutter system.

Once the ice damming has happened and the roof is so covered in snow the only alternatives are physical removal of snow and or the application of chemical agents to melt the snow and ice. The use of both could be needed in some cases. The chemical agents available can do the job alone if the ice damming is not that severe.

The most important fact about all of this is to stay safe. When doing things yourself, you need to use care. The use of a contractor to handle this type of problem can be the best idea. There are a number of contractors that will help people with ice and snow removal. If in the greater Milwaukee area in Wisconsin, a company by the name of Badges Properties LLC may be able to help you with your homes needs. They offer many services and seem to help with all of the home improvement and repair/handyman needs. They can be found in the online yellow pages. They even help large apartment or condo complexes with external and internal needs.

Hydroseeding Machines / Erosion Barriers And New Lawns

December 22, 2007 on 5:52 pm | In Houses To Go General, Hydro-seeding, Hydroseeding, Landscaping | No Comments

I know it is now time to put the lawn mower away a break out the snow blowers in the Great Midwest. I cannot help myself as I cannot believe how many people have not heard of a lawn installation process called hydro-seeding in the great state of Wisconsin. We are not aware of hydroseeding machines here and there uses for new lawns and erosion barriers. I know we run behind the times on fashion and other new things, but we really need to start thinking here people. People are still using a caveman way of throwing grass seed in the air and covering it with straw, you see it all the time here. I know its hard to believe. Then even using granular fertilizers that can run off and cause harm to other areas. The really bad stuff is rolled out straw blankets. The straw blankets contain a plastic mesh, not to mention we are covering the earths soil with a plastic compound that will never never dissolve. I see it here in Wisconsin all the time, is no one concerned about our wild life and environment.

The real kicker is there is a process called hydro-seeding that is 100 times better than the straw/seed and the grass / straw process uses unsafe granular fertilizers of the past. There are companies Like Badges Properties LLC in the greater Milwaukee area which has a hydroseeding machine for new lawn and erosion barrier installation. This company is willing to work with home owners, landscapers and even gives discounts to developers/builders. They can be found in the online yellow pages. Badges Properties LLC does not advertise much as their product and service is so good people hear about them word of mouth. The only problem is the builders don’t know about them and they keep using large landscaping outfits and paying twice as much by using straw and straw blankets. The home owner gets sod like quality lawns from Badges Properties LLC hydroseeding service.

The hydro-seeding lawn installation process via hydroseeding machine gives you a new sod quality lawn in 4 weeks and costs half the price. Did you get that? Sod quality like lawn in 4 weeks. The best part no harm to animals in plastic nets or old granular fertilizers in our hydro-seeding process. I could install lawns and erosion barriers with seed and plastic netting all day and make tons of money; but I won’t. The hydro-seeding process saves our environment and wildlife. That’s enough reason right there. You want more of a reason, that even some builders don’t know? It is more economical to hydro-seed then use the roll out plastic/straw blankets. That’s right even builders are not aware of the advantages of hydro-seeding. You see most of them have set up deals with landscapers who don’t use hydro-seeding machines because it would cost them to much. You see the hydroseeding machines are costly at first, but really pay for themselves in the end. Badges Properties LLC was able to find out about hydroseeding machines a couple years back and started offering hydroseeded lawns and erosion barriers to builders/developers.

There are actually landscape companies taking advantage of illegal help and paying them very low wages and getting away with it as they pay them in cash, eluding the IRS and not paying taxes. So, instead of buying the hydro-seeding machines, they exploit these poor people for their own huge money gains. The landscapers using illegal help don’t want to tell the builders they work with, that hydro-seeding is better and safer. The builders on the other hand would get a much better lawn at cheaper rate which is safe for all. You maybe asking your self how is it cheaper? You see the landscaper company owner still charges a premium rate for a low quality product. So, the only one who sees the benefits is the landscape company owner. There are many builders that just think it is the cheapest route to get their lawns and erosion barriers put in. When builders are not even aware of hydroseeding machines, how would the general home owner without being told about hydro-seeding and all of its benefits, know?

There are some high quality builders that know about it and just automatically figure since it is new and high tech figure hydroseeding lawns and erosion barriers is expensive, but it is not at all. The people in the southern parts of the country have been using hydro-seeding for many years already. The builders here in the greater Milwaukee area may have also run into high priced hydro-seeders when it first arrived here and just said it’s to expensive. This is really not the case were Badges Properties LLC is concerned, they are so economical other landscapers sub-contract them just for the lawn. The builders would also find this out if they would just take some time and read a letter or take a phone call from a quality hydro-seeding company representative, they would see that hydro-seeding is far better for new lawns and erosion control. The new home owner would be the other one to benefit highly from hydro-seeding. Besides a hydroseeded lawn being very economical for a home owner to put in, it is also less expensive to get and keep a great looking lawn. The straw/seed landscapers don’t want you to know, it costs more in fertilizer and still grows 50% weeds and then you finally get 50% grass. A straw/seed lawn takes 2 years to grow in. hydro-seeded lawns, via hydroseeding machine takes 4 weeks! You do the math on materials and time spent. It is really obvious that hydro-seeding is by far the most economical and best product.

The International Association of Hydroseeding Professionals maintains a list of professional hydro-seeders for the whole country (www.hydroseeding.org.) It is a great source to help find out about hydro-seeding and professional hydroseeders, look for the contractors that have the I.A.H.P. symbol by their company name as these are members the others are just known contractors in that area, stick with the members. In fact there is a company called G&G hydroseeding that is on this list and offers hydroseeding services, who are a professional member. G&G hydroseeding is owned by Badges Properties LLC, so you can reach them both for hydroseeding services. The Wisconsin listings has members right at the top of their list of contractors. Many contractors can have large areas that they will service, so just call and ask.

I really wish some people who would be interested in helping the environment would help spread the word about hydro-seeding, via hydroseeding machine. If you want more info, please leave a comment or e-mail and we can talk about hydro-seeding and it’s benefits to all. People building a house need to ask their builder if they know of a quality hydro-seeder in their area. If the builder is not aware, just check the site above. I even encourage all builders to look into hydroseeding and just because one hydro-seeder is a little high, does not mean all are. I have heard of hydro-seeders going as low as 6.5 cents per square foot for large builders. Think of what you can buy for 6.5 cents. This shows you how cost effective hydro-seeding is. Most home owners are looking at about 8-16 cents depending on what part of the country you live.

I will try to help spread the word, but I cannot do it alone. I could use any help I could get.

Roof Ice Damming

December 19, 2007 on 2:01 pm | In Houses To Go General, Roof, Gutters, House Siding, Drywall | No Comments

Well, here it is winter and lots of snow in the Midwest. The ice damming is now becoming a big problem as roofs are covered in heavy blankets of snow. Some would say, this is just a picture perfect look for the Christmas holidays upon us, even the pretty icicles that are hanging down. Looks nice, but highly dangerous and destructive for you and your house. When to much snow is on the roof it becomes very heavy. This may be too heavy for the roof supports and cause possible breaking of these supports.

Now, ice damming can lead to water damage on the inside and outside walls of a house. When the outside temperatures rise the snow melts and goes towards the gutters and mounds the ice and starts creeping up the roof. Many houses through the years have put in ice and dam shields to protect their homes from ice damming. Those that do not have this can still have this ice melt and get into their homes walls. When the water gets into the walls it leads to damp dry wall or the break down the dry wall all together. This then can lead to excessive moisture in the walls and structure from the ice damming. We now know how destructive ice damming can be.

The ice damming comes from air flow in the attic areas of a home. Many times not enough insulation in the attic area allows heat to escape into this area and warms the roof causing the snow above to melt when it shouldn’t. You will see that many roofing professionals will tell you this a leading cause of ice damming. One way to help eliminate and control ice damming is to make sure you add a needed layer of insulation. You will see how this will help and also help your heating costs in the long run. The added insulation does not allow large amounts of heat to escape, therefore not heating the roof causes the snow to melt at a much slower rate. You might think, well is it not good to get the heavy snow off the roof by melting it faster? No, as the water hits the gutter area it cools and then becomes ice. The ice can then mound and creek up the roof line getting under the roof covering and then into the attic and walls.

The pitch of a roof can slow the ice damming also by not allowing the snow to stay on the roof. Even houses with low roofs can have less snow on it, but this is where people need to help their house and the ice damming. People need to hire people to remove the snow or buy roof rakes, which are a modified snow shovel for your roof and do it yourself. You need to get the snow 2-4 feet up from the gutter. This process will help to slow or eliminate the ice damming.

Some houses that have done the above and have a low pitch roof, may add roof and gutter heaters. These systems don’t allow the water to freeze again and then it runs off the way it should. This way not allowing the water to refreeze causing an ice dam.

These tips should get you and you ice damming in the right direction. If you are in the Midwest, greater Milwaukee area, drop me an e-mail and maybe I can help you with your individual problems on your house. Even if your not in this area, feel free to leave me an e-mail and I will try to help you also.

Find A Handyman

December 18, 2007 on 1:27 am | In Houses To Go General | No Comments

We have all tried to find a handyman to fix our homes. You struggle with finding a honest and fair handyman to handle those repairs, this is the hard part. A handyman does not have to be a person who lacks knowledge and or insurance. Years back a handyman was generally an older man who just had experience in many areas of house repair from his own personal experience. Now days you have highly skilled handyman/contractors that can cover from your smallest to largest projects, that is if your lucky enough to find this type of company.

The new breed of handyman company is coming about out of need. Many people are now staying in their homes so they need them fixed or repaired. The down side of all this is the popping up of all the screening services and handyman franchises that charge an arm and a leg to cover their high over heads and and advertising. You see these large franchise companies just let anyone buy in as long as they have the money to buy their franchise. You often don’t get a true skilled handyman/contractor. You get a person who was hired by the new franchise owner/operator. So, you get the under skilled and possible under paid laborer of the handyman franchise owner.

They will typically have many ads and fancy trucks and great looking color matching uniforms for their under paid help. This will get them noticed/seen so many will hire them just due to their huge advertising budgets, not high quality work and reasonable pricing. So, you say, yeah your right. What do I do, to find what I think is a good handyman/contractor? I just don’t want people getting sucked into the “all that glitters is not gold” problem. People think just because a company has big fancy ads and highly decal-ed trucks, they have to be good. Many people fall for this everyday.

How to find a good handyman is not that hard, just see beyond all the glitter. A good handyman/contractor can be found from friends and family. Ask others who they have used and don’t be afraid to ask what kind of jobs these other handyman did and for how much. Did they show up on time? Did they finish in a reasonable time? Where did they find them? These questions will be very helpful to you. When people give a response of “ok or they did the job” in short or brief answers odds are they were not that pleased. Some people even get upset because they had such a bad experience with a handyman/contractor they will not say much about it at all.

Look for handyman/contractors with good word or mouth advertising. The small handyman companies will typically have nice small adds in business directories in some major papers and even your small community newspaper. The ads that are big and have pictures costs the company a lot of money, guess who really pays for that ad, you! It may have got your attention, but you will pay more. A short and to the point ad will be where you want to look. Then just call a few and see if they can help you with your needs. If you are lucky enough to find a good small handyman company where the owner still answers the phone, you know that you are on the right track.

Now, if you have the owner ask them a few questions. Look for people who are rooted to the community and have been part of your community for many years, even a life time. These are very important questions. How many years in business and what back ground or certifications, do they have? If you are in the greater Milwaukee area or surrounding areas please, give me an e-mail and maybe I can help you with your handyman/contractor needs. Please also go to my free sites and there are many free articles to help with your homes needs. You can also leave a question or comment there. I try to get back to people ASAP. Many people and many home repairs and home problems.

Remember Safety First.

SEO Hype And You

December 7, 2007 on 11:53 pm | In Houses To Go General | No Comments

The SEO game is a game for the rich gurus who have already taken the online marketing to the bank. The big money being made on the net is not like these fairy tale marketers want you to believe. Your not going to start up a server farm in your apartment closet and in 6 months your making 6 figures. The con artists of yesterday has found his or her street corner of today. The net is just filled and over flowing with con-people waiting for any given moment to get you and your money parted. The old saying a fool and his money are soon parted, could not be more true today on the net.

The true SEO game for the small time net marketer is just like a dog chasing its tail. You always think you almost got it and then just turns out when you think, you got it; the only thing you did is bite your self in the butt! If your throwing money into online books and cds, videos, seminars and advertising to get traffic to your site, guess who is the one who is getting rich? The same rich guru who started the SEO game and pretends that magical ways can still be purchased from them for only $29.99 and you to will make $4000 a day on the net as a marketer guru. These false claims are everywhere.

They dress these programs up with lots of dreams and glitter to make you think that if you try and put your mind to it, there is no reason why you to can’t make $4000 a day on the net just like them. The best way to look at it and see it for what it is, is to look at the e-mail scams. You know, for a processing fee of $25,000, they will give you 1 million dollars. There are TV ads warning people of these scams. Do we really need public service TV ads telling you that no one is going to give you a million dollars for no work and you have to give them $25,000 processing fee first. I guess so, this is why these people all over the net are selling their SEO guru secrets for only $19.95 or just 3 payments of $29.95 for their online book.

When someone points this out in a article like this, you say well of course that’s a scam. The scammers put it all in a nice shiny package that holds your road to fame and fortune, they give false hope and get you to buy. The best scam is the scam running a scam. These are the ones that tell you that they to were scammed, but for free have searched the net and found the real money maker for the net. So, now you have a person that tells you they have been taken 30 times and spent $5000 on scams and now they want to share what they found with you! So, if you don’t want to be scammed like them, you should buy the program that they provide the link to the purchase site for that program.

Here again, when someone points it out to you and you look at and say that’s a scam. When a person is looking for the SEO secret of How-To make their fortune online, they don’t look like scams then. I can only hope that this article reaches one person and that person does not waste their time and money on one of the many SEO and blogging scams out there. The big search engines selling their ad placement to the little guy thinking there going to pay them for their efforts. They are not fully lying, sure after hundreds of hours spent monetizing your blogs and sites to get $5.00, is this not getting paid? So, it is true they paid you. The same is true about a lot of the article sites that say they pay you for your articles. You give them a article that you have to give them the exclusive rights to and they give you $3.00 - $4.00 and that’s if you are lucky. Some tell you that your not getting enough traffic and give you 3-8 cents for your article.

The above are examples of online scams that sucker people everyday. You have to filter your way through them. There are very few real deals online. There are a few good sites that provide good info and at no charge. Want to just see how many scams there are, just type in “make money online” on your fave search engine site and look at how many results you get. There will be millions.

So, when you think you have been shown the next SEO and money making blogging secret for only $19.95, maybe you will think twice.

Christmas Handyman Help

December 7, 2007 on 5:36 pm | In Houses To Go General | No Comments

We can use a little Christmas help.  This is the time of year when we join with family and friends.  We even try to join with our co-workers in an effort to spread the Christmas spirit.  When we invite people into our homes for the holidays we invite them with open arms.  It all starts at the front door or maybe even the edge of your drive way.  Just because it is the holidays does not mean that you will not be able to find a good handyman to help you with your needs.  This is when you need the most help.  The Christmas spirit is in the air and we want it all to be just perfect.  No, you don’t have to remodel your whole bathroom; but maybe some new towel bars would be a nice touch.  We just installed a new rail/wall system in our entryway of our home.  I am hoping that it will be done before Christmas eve.

This is still a little bigger project than towel bars;  but will get noticed by everyone who enters.  When people come to your home you want your home to feel warm and inviting.  Fixing small things around your home helps give this feel.  A broken bathroom door knob which allows the door to swing open when someone is on the thrown is not going to give people a warm and inviting feel,  maybe screaming and shock!  I know family and friends are coming to see you and not your house; but your house is you.  Take a strong hold of pride of ownership.  When your front door light is burnt out and is only hanging by one screw, its time to fix it.  The are so many little things around the house that you can use a good handyman company for.  You don’t always need a general contractor who charges  a $100 dollars per hour just to talk to him or her.  The large property management and complex associations fall into the contractor pit alot.  They could get a good small contractor or handyman company that could cover all their needs and spend 25-50% less just because they did a little searching.  You can do the same.  You still need to be careful and research the background of the people you want in your home to do your work.

I can’t but think the bigger the company you go with the less you will know about the people you are letting into your house.  You see lets just look at one of these so called online screening sites for contractors and handyman work.  Take note,  your not paying the screening company for them to find you a honest and true craftsman.  So,  who is paying the screening company?  That’s right the same contractors and handyman company that they told you about.  Really seems like a conflict of interest to me.  These screening sites are popping up like crazy so someone must be paying their bills.  The other thing out there is the big flashy ads and hounding sales people.  The large replacement window companies are great for that.  I will stop there, what I am trying to say is the large places are not paying large money to the people they are sending you and that leads to high turn over.   A smaller company will know its people and you might even have the company owner working on your house.

I have tried to write a couple articles on consumer protection and scams.  I write this article now as I know people want to have things just perfect for friends and family.  The haste to get things done can lead people to the wrong person to do their work.  The Christmas time of year is a special time of year that can really be destroyed; because the guy the big name company with all the flashy ads and hype sent out,  came back and did his own house call and your gifts and belongings in your home was his fee.   There are many good people out there doing high quality work for reasonable rates.  They are sometimes a little harder to find because they don’t have big flashy ads in the phone book or full page ads in your local newspaper.     In the end you will be happy that you spent a little time to find the right handyman for you.  Try to find someone that friends or family have used or just find out what you can about a company before you just hire them because they had the biggest ad or listed first on a big name online search engine.

There can be hazards of hiring a small company as they may not have the tools or knowledge you thought they had.  These smaller guys don’t last very long and makes the percentage of them finding you small.  The true small company knows how to treat people as their business depends on it.  If you have to dial a toll free number to find your handyman odds are this is not a direct line to the business owner.   You hear it all the time,  what happened to customer service?  The person answering that same toll free handyman number,  has no idea who is going to show up at your house!  Everybody likes to make fun of small cities or towns where there’s one or two plumbers or handyman,  but you never hear those people say, “yeah, Fred the plumber took my TV and all my Christmas gifts” or “Yeah, I just got ripped off again by Joe the handyman.   These people know each other and live in the same communities who have pride and respect for one another.  It also helps you know exactly where Joe lives if he would rip you off,  but Joe’s not going to do that because he wasn’t sent to you from some screening service.   Heck, you might have even went to school with Joe and now your kids go to school with Joe’s kids.

Look for companies with good names,  Badges Properties LLC and Home Improvements.  This name makes a statement.  Not a flashy franchise name and look at our big flashy ads and toll free number.  The company with a good name or family name is the one that will stand behind there badge and name to give you the service you need and want.

Remember, Always Safety First.

Hydroseeding Cost For Your Lawn

December 5, 2007 on 9:45 pm | In Houses To Go General, Hydro-seeding, Hydroseeding, Landscaping | No Comments

I know,  what in world am I doing talking about hydroseeding when snow storms are hitting everywhere?  Well,  everyone was so busy during the summer so maybe some people will like to learn about the wonderful benefits of a hydroseeded lawn.  The new lawns that are put in via hydroseeding start growing in the first week.  The hydroseeded lawn in the 3rd to 4th week can be cut, that’s right a full lawn in 4 weeks!  The blend of seed, fertilizer, mulch and bonding additives give a high quality blend of mixture to give a great lawn.  The only faster way to get a new lawn is to use grass sod.  The cost of a hydroseeded lawn is 8-18 cents a square foot depending on your part of the country and how big your yard is.  Contractors can even get it for less as they normally volume discounts,  I have heard as low as 5.4 CENTS a square foot.

The Midwest areas, especially in the greater Milwaukee areas of Wisconsin have not even heard of hydroseeding.  Most of the builders are still using roll out straw blankets and seed on commercial developments!  These straw blankets contain plastic mesh inside of them unless they use the environmentally safe weaved blanket,  which at $80 a roll for cost to installers then add mark up,  you can see the problem here.  The roll only covers 900 hundred square feet and the above figure does not include seed or fertilizer!  A small hydroseeding machine will cover 4000 square ft with only 1 tank full!  This only shows me that the builders are not even aware of hydroseeding otherwise they would not be paying so much money for a low quality product and still get much less.  The paper mulch type used by some hydroseeders,  is safe to all land and animals, besides providing a erosion barrier that the EPA calls for on construction sites now days,  this mulch combined with a bonding agent provide  the required  erosion protection.  The best part the paper mulch degrades and then feeds the new grass!  No, plastic mesh and safe for the environment.  This only shows me again that builders and home owners in this area are not aware of hydro-seeding.  This stuff only costs pennies,  how much more economical can you get and still be safe for the environment.  Going green cannot get any easier here!

This year I cannot even say how much of the straw roll out blankets, I saw.  It just makes me shudder at the thought of all that plastic being laid over our top soil surfaces,  never to dissolve.  The thought of that is just horrible.  The next question is why?  Why is this horrible stuff being used when a environmentally safe alternative of hydroseeding is available at such a economical price.  I could use this stuff and make lots of money, but I just cannot lower myself knowing that it is such low quality and still costs more then hydroseeding.  What are people thinking here?  I would rather only install 12,000 square ft of lawn via hydro seed a week, then put in 40,000 square feet of straw and seed and get paid 4 times as much for the straw.  I just cannot lower myself,  even when the there is such large amounts of money to be made from straw and seed applications.     The way they are using the straw/seed in Wisconsin, greater Milwaukee area you would think they were giving it to the builders for free.  There is a local greater Milwaukee area hydroseed contractor by the name of Badges Properties LLC who is willing to work with contractors and developers, offering volume discounts.  G&G Hydroseeding is another local hydroseeder who is willing to also hydroseed small or large jobs.  See, some hydroseeders will only take certain sized jobs.  The two above are very good and willing to work with home owners and builders.  Badges Properties can be found in the online yellow pages and G&G Hydrseeding can be found by searching for hydroseed contractors, Wisconsin.  A hydroseeder site that lists contractors has them as a member of International Association Hydroseeding Professionals,  their number can be found there.  

The hydroseeded lawns and erosion barriers are highly economical and green to all.  The true problem is just educating people to the fact that hydroseeding opposed to straw/seed application even exists.  They say knowledge is power, so let’s try to educate people and help to move out of the dark ages and into the present.  

If you have any questions or would like to help spread the word about hydroseeding please leave a comment and I will get back to you.     There are many quality hydroseeders out there,  stick with ones in your area that are listed with professional hydroseeder associations.   These people are showing they are committed to being professional and keep the high standards.  Don’t be fooled by just being listed on a turf machine site, some list people just because they bought their equipment from them.  The actual professional association members will have a member symbol by their names.

The new directory at www.blogskinny.com is the best direcrtory if you want people to see your work. I have many articles on many different article sites and they don’t compare. The articles on the other sites have yet to be indexed by popular search engines. The blogskinny site really must have their finger on the pulse of SEO. I write to help people and inform them on how-to articles and consumer protection. I have been writing for awhile now and now that I know people are seeing my articles on www.blogskinny.com, I can’t help but want to write more.

What writer does not want their work seen. I write to help people, so they can help them selves. There are sites out there that say they help to get your articles seen, none have worked to the level of blogskinny. This directory is brand new and it is out performing article directories that have been around for awhile. I am a writer and don’t talk all that much about SEO, but this site has a good idea and it is working.

I cannot say enough good things about www.blogskinny.com article directory, except that my articles will be posted there!

December 3, 2007 on 10:35 pm | In Houses To Go General | No Comments

Just taking a short look at online retail shops. Came across a site that looks into electronic items and more. The warm feeling the site gives it a small home town look and feel, but offers a large selection to fill all of your needs. The site www.miserymonkey.com has a small site charm with a big store selection that has been lost in a sea of big box online shops.

The site is well laid out and makes it easy for you to find your needed items. You never have to search to long and you find the exact item you are looking for. Don’t keep getting lost in those large hard to find sites.

You really must go to www.miserlymonkey.com and find what you need in a secure and easy to use shopping site.

Have fun and happy shopping
