Sometimes simple appliance DIY can spare you costly service calls

Wasn’t I embarrassed when I couldn’t figure out why my friend’s dishwasher wouldn’t start. I troubleshot as best as I could, given my limited time visiting her.

Trimming keeps trees healthy, property safe

Oh, how we love the cooling shade from a glorious tree, especially during this exceptionally hot Indian summer.
