Avery elementary school is collecting hats, mittens, socks and a childs toy to help the children and families in need in Cherokee County.  This came home with my childs paper work and I almost missed it myself in rushing around for the holidays.  They will be collecting stuff until Friday, December 21, 2007.  Representatives from Must Ministries and the Marine Corps League of Toys for Tots will be present at the school on Friday to recieve the items. 

Avery Elementary is located at Union Hill Rd & East Cherokee. 

 

Happy  Holidays to all.

 

 

Atlanta Home Inspectors Great tip of the month

man scratching his headI have always been amazed at someone who could tear something apart and put it back together again without having any parts left over.  My brother in law is someone who can take any piece of equipment apart and put it back together in working order without any trouble at all.  But for those of us who seem to be left scratching our heads and wondering why we have pieces left over here is a great idea to help solve the problem. 

 

Use your digital camera to take pictures of the process while taking the item apart.  This way if time lapses or you can't remember exactly which order things go in, you have your digital pictures as your memory.

I did this with a barn we decided to tear down and rebuild on our property.  Needless to say, without the pictures, there is no telling what my barn would have looked like. It took me quite a while to rebuild it and there is a shed area that I still need to get back on.  It's a good thing I have the pictures.

If you know anything about tankless water heaters - I need your help - our water heater went out.

This is a personal question - our water heater has gone out again and we are looking into getting the tankless water heater. Does anyone have any experience with them and if they work as well as they claim to. They are very expensive - and I was hoping to find out also if it is truly worth the money. It will be gong in the master bath only, not the whole house.  We haven't dealt with them enough to know if they are all that they claim to be.  Looking for anyone that can give us some feed back, positive or negative.  I figure with such a great group, I could get some real experienced answers. 

Thanks for any info you can share.

PS:  I didn't have time to do a search yet.  I'm trying to move forward quickly because I'm not fond of cool showers.
