Any roofing project, even the small ones - are a big job. From minor repairs and tweaks
to the existing structure, all the way through to an entire reroofing process, taking on a
roofing project is a big, exhausting,  and frankly, terrifying task.
​
A job of this scale, and with this much at stake, deserves to have only the best
contractors on the job, and you need to feel comfortable with the people to whom you
will be entrusting the future value of your home. Wanna find out more about identifying
a reliable contractor, with contactable, legitimate references, a good reputation and a
good work ethic? Keep reading for all the right information.

Many people find themselves in a position where they need an urgent roofing job done
as a result of a storm, tornado or other natural events. It is only normal to want to
restore your roof as soon as possible, but take care: some companies prey on the
desperation of others during these stressful times.

Be very cautious to not only accept a quote because it shows a lower price. Often, essential functions, like insurance, are left out of quotes on purpose, to make the cost appear lower. These surface later in the process as additional costs, which might see you spending more than you would have
in the first place.

You will be liable for any injuries, death or damage that take place during your roofing process if this insurance is not in place. Hospital fees after an injury, in particular, can add up quickly, so stay safe and clear, and rather go with a company that can provide the backing you need.

A good contract will protect you from unreliable or ambivalent terms and conditions and provide a safeguard in case the process goes awry for any reason. Many contractors
will include a deposit requirement in the contract, but watch out for any deposit amount
that is greater than 10% of the total value of the quote. This could indicate financial
constraints within the company, which might not bode well for the future of the project.

Other than the convenience of having someone close by working on your roof, there are
other hidden benefits to choosing this option. A local contractor will be well-versed in the
local bylaws and building rules in your area, which could have an effect on speeding up
the process. You could also benefit from local reviews, sometimes even from people
you know, with the bonus of being able to go and view the work that was done, to see if
you would be happy with it.

Any form of work on a roof is risky business - there are a lot of variables, and the
industry is huge, with many providers duking it out for the gig. The same is true for solar
power. Any additions or adjustments to your roof put the roof at risk of structural issues
if it is not done correctly at the outset. From adjustments to an entire reroofing to adding
solar, and variations on these, all require the touch of an expert hand, and picking
someone near you makes it far more accessible.
​
Pick a contractor who is willing to openly communicate about the work they do, and who
does not appear to hide any qualifications or other paperwork from you. If they take long
to get back to you, you may not be their most important priority, and in that case, you
should keep looking for someone who can deliver what you need.

​The most wonderful time of the year is just around the corner, so you may be thinking of ways to take your decorating up a notch for this year’s festivities. There are lots of ways you can transform your home into a Christmas wonderland for the festivities this year and here’s how you can make it happen.

​The common colors for Christmas decorations are red and green but you don’t have to stick to
them. In today’s world, people go with alternative themes that embody their definition of
Christmas.
​
You can use metallic decorations like silver and different shades of blue to create a winter-
themed Christmas. Pair it with some clear string lights and fake snow to give your space the
perfect winter look. You could also try having a nature-themed Christmas with the traditional
evergreen tree as your centerpiece. For a nature-themed design, you can have mini trees made
out of wood, use dried fruit like dried apples as part of your decorative items, and include
elements like pinecones and twigs to give you the look you are going for.

The right lighting can set the mood and increase the effectiveness of your decorations. Imagine
lighting your home up on Christmas Eve and seeing the smile on your loved ones faces when they see how beautiful your home looks.

Christmas lights are not for the tree alone as they can be placed on the roof, windows, fireplace,
and staircase banister. You can put it in the patio along with a mini Christmas tree to create a cozy look or in the backyard where the kids play.

​The first type is the incandescent light and it is a bit old-fashioned. It has a good output but
produces quite a bit of heat which could make your decorations prone to burning and consumes
more power than LED lights.

LED lights are preferred by most since it doesn’t consume as much power or produce the same
amount of heat as incandescent lights. It is also a more affordable option. From these two types, you can find different designs of Christmas lights. One of the common designs is string lights which are used on Christmas trees, garlands, and are great for lighting up large areas. Another design is the pathway lights and is used for outdoor areas. Apart from string lights, you can make use of compact lights or icicle lights for your Christmas trees both big and small.

Christmas is about having fun and your decorations don’t have to be perfect. There will always
be beauty in the imperfections and what matters most, is that you create tons of memories
along the way.

I'm not much of a breakfast person typically, but when I rededicated my life to keto, I decided I would try to do it right this time, by counting macros and everything, so I "created" this amazing yumminess that I like to call "breakfast". Best thing is, it fits my macros and the collagen is good for my old, achy body. 

You will notice there's no "jump to recipe" button... because I don't do all that mess, I am gonna give you the goods, right here, right now... mostly because this isn't a "recipe" per se. 

So, this drink is super easy to make.
All you need is:
3 Tbs Heavy cream (supplies fat)
3 Tbsp Sugar free Sweet Cream flavor creamer (supplies flavor and sweetness)
1 Shot of Starbucks dark espresso roast (I use an espresso machine, But a concentrated shot of brewed coffee should work just fine)
1 Scoop of unflavored collagen peptides. 

Combine all the above in a small personal blender thingy (like this), shake a few times to mix the collagen powder, then blend. After it's fully combined, add about 5 or so cubes of ice and blend again. Pour into a cup and add a cute (biodegradable) straw, and enjoy! 

It's no secret jeans are must-have wardrobe pieces. Every one needs at least one or two perfect pairs of jeans in their closet. Understanding the huge demand for this wardrobe staple, several manufacturers have flooded the market with varying denim cuts and styles. For this reason, finding the right pair to match your physique can be a daunting task, especially if you've had children and are now sporting a different body than you did pre-children.

Most female shoppers make the "egg-before-the-chicken" mistake in the sense that they pick a pair before matching it to their physique, when, in actuality, they should understand their body types before selecting their favorite jeans. By doing the latter, you can never go wrong shopping for the perfect pair. This comprehensive guide contains what you should know about picking the right denim.

To get the perfect denim, you have to take note of specific features, aside from the material cut. First, what is the wash-ability of the jeans... will they hold up to numerous washes? If your choice denim shows a seam strain, you may have to opt for another pair, or find a pair that contains a small amount of lycra to add a little give.

With all the guidelines discussed above, you should have no difficulty finding the ideal pair of jeans next time you check a clothing store It is worth noting that your denim represents you, and with the perfect type, you can make the right fashion statement at your home, workplace, or in any other environment.

So, without further adieu and without doing that thing that we all hate, where the bloggers go into a long drawn out life story about how their Mama used to fix them biscuits when they were a kid blah blah blah... let's get to the good stuff! Friends, Romans, and countrymen, I give to you southern-style dirty keto biscuits with sausage gravy.
