A healthy house is a house without pest problem like rats, termites, mosquito and cockroaches. There are times no matter how you clean inside your home pest are keep on coming back, if you already tried  and used several methods to be pest free and nothing happened. You should consider looking for an affordable pest control services that offer a wide range of services from pest control, termite control, mosquito control, vapour barriers, moisture control and wood destroying organism treatments.

There are a lot of company that offer this kind of service where ever you live, I am sure there is one near you like there’s a  pest control services in Virginia Beach.

Living in rural areas is not just healthy but a lot cheaper too, you can used a lot of alternatives without spending money. The old day care school near our house is now a storage house, it was a food store after the school class was transferred to a new building. One of our relatives sold cooked vegetables, viand and street foods on the place but since they got misunderstanding with the owner it was vacated and now it is a storage unit. My Aunt stored their yield of rice in the empty school which is cheaper than renting storage unit which usually take placed  in urban areas.

In cities you cannot store a lot of things in your house if you have no basement or attic so other people is renting a storage unit as other option.

As what I have noticed most women here are using rubber gloves when they are doing house cleaning, washing and cooking. I don’t know if they are just protective with their skin or they are just very particular of being germs free.

You should know that the primary purpose of wearing rubber gloves  is for protection of the hands while performing tasks involving chemicals. Rubber gloves are worn during dishwashing to protect the hands from detergent and allow the use of hotter water.

Well if you are looking for  protective gloves to get the job done. There are some companies and warehouses that offer high quality gloves which depend on purpose and varieties, you can buy lowest price canvas gloves, chemical resistant gloves, flame resistant gloves, hunting gloves, and so much more.

Take good care of your hands and wear gloves while cleaning at home.

The gym where we worked  out is on the third floor of a four-story building and few months ago there was a fire on the second floor, as what I have heard it started in the kitchen of one of the restaurants in the second floor.   Just too lucky that the fire was killed early before it destruct a lot of things.

Despite of no harm done, the gym was closed for three days because of bad odor from the chemical  that was used to kill the fire.  My husband says they used chemical instead of water because it is a restaurant and if they used water it will be hard to kill the fire as it can still be alive in water or the right term for it.

Anyway that’s why it is important that fire extinguishers must be always present in stores, restaurants and  establishments to avoid the fire to grow bigger, it can also save lives and properties.

The three floor apartment we’re living at has  two garage space, one at the front and the other one in the left side.  It is just right because most of the families here in Korea has their own cars, two or more.   I think our landlord need a roof and garage door on the left side garage because when it is snowing the garage is full of frost, the other night I saw his son (if I am not mistaken) covering his car with cartoon boxes so the windshield will be snow free.

I believed installing roof and garage door will free the car from snow and the landlord in shoveling the pile of snow. It will also stop some of the school kids to play ball games when the cars are not around.  Like what happened one fine day  where I am busy in front of my computer when I heard some kids shouting and kicking a ball outside, I didn’t  mind them because I thought it is normal but when I went to the bathroom and turn on the light and ventilation I can hear them moving  away from the garage silently, it seems they thought nobody is around and they can play freely so when they hear someone is around they sneak out like thieves.

When I am still a kid fetching water in the pump is my everyday task. I have to make sure that all the plastic containers at home is full of water or else my mother will scold me. Time came a little progress  occurred in our community, using  water pump is  not on demand anymore. Fetching water became easier by the use of water system,  most houses has their own water pipes now but the water is not good for drinking just for washing, bathing and daily usage.

Not all families are covered by the water system because there are some houses which happened to be far from the main road where the pipes are running.  Some of this houses still uses water pump for their water supply and those people who happens living in the valley uses water well especially when they have vegetable garden to water everyday. Water well drilling is common when the supply of water is not abundant and you are living in urban area like us.

Moving is a situation that everyone doesn’t want to do. Moving house time to time is tiring, stressful and not the best idea to build an ideal home.  Once you plan to move you need to pack all of your important things which is so tiring and stressful to do and once you moved you need to start all over again to build relationship with your neighbors, make friends and etc.,

Our visa is going to expire soon but we are lucky that we are not going to move anywhere, my husband’s employer extended his contract for one more year. Well at least for a year we don’t need moving companies to help us move to a new home and community. I just hope next year his contract will be extended again because I already love this place and the people.

There are times my sense of smell is very sensitive and on my observation the gym where we work-out needs an air filter aside from using dehumidifier.  They should be particular on the cleanliness of the place because there are times the gym equipment are dusty and sticky.  Different people uses those equipment and they are burning calories and it is understood that they are perspiring so the tendency of  transferring each other disease  is possible.

On the last few months I have seen the gym owner’s spraying anti-bacterial air freshener on the air but that’s not enough especially these past few days I didn’t see them doing it. Air filter can help to remove airborne bacteria from operating room environments and to help prevent postoperative infection, it  is a device composed of fibrous materials which removes solid particulates such as dust, pollen, mold, and bacteria from the air.

If there’s one thing I hate in the morning is stepping  onto ice-cold bathroom tiles that’s why I bought a plastic glass bathroom slippers to help my feet warm every time I went to the bathroom.

I have asked my husband if it is not possible to install heating system in the bathroom to make the temperature warm and then I can just walk barefoot in the morning, he said it is not possible but I have read online radiant-floor heating makes that possible where you can install it in your home with far less trouble and expense than you might expect.

As what I have read an electric radiant system consists of thin heating cables, like the wires in an electric blanket, installed under ceramic tile. Because the cables are so thin they don’t raise the level of the flooring much; this makes them great for remodeling.

They’re installed where warm floors are appreciated: bathrooms, mudrooms, and kitchens. Controlled by their own thermostat, these systems don’t replace your main heating unit — they augment it.

To install an electric radiant floor in an existing room, you’ll need a dedicated 15- to 20-amp GFCI-protected circuit to power the system, and an excuse to lay a new tile floor. If you’re remodeling, it’s a good time to satisfy both requirements.

A bathroom-size warm-floor retrofit will cost $400 to $700 including the cost of the new tile. This system will consume about the same amount of electricity as three 100W lightbulbs.
