It's been almost two weeks since I've reached out to you. A childhood friend of mine, who matured into a fantastic painter I used on many of my jobs, had to be sent back to Heaven early. The travel to and from the funeral services ate up six days with me arriving back home this […]
The ice is about to leave the lake here at my house. This would be the earliest ice out on record in the past eight years. Yes, we'll still get a few chilly days or even a heavy snow, but Spring is here. There's no doubt about it. I've just got a few things for […]
Spring is here in New Hampshire! WOO HOO!!! Two days ago, it was, are you sitting down, 71 F. Holy Cucumber! Normally, it would be about 41 F and there could be two feet of snow still on the ground. I spent the day with two friends over by the Connecticut River at the Saint […]
I've got some killer content for you to review and a video below you should watch for this weekend. Some of you already have great weather and can do concrete repairs. Others, well it's just about five weeks away when Old Man Winter will be plodding his way back to the North Pole. Before we […]
Holy Tomato! It's March! We're just a few weeks away from the Vernal Equinox - the official start of Spring - but here in NH, it sure looks like Spring to me. As I look out my man cave / office / ham radio shack window, the snow is gone in the woods. For the […]
What a difference a week makes! Last Sunday I taped the video: Why is My House Cold With the Heat On Go watch it. When I woke up this morning and was grinding my coffee beans with my inexpensive, yet powerful, Krups Grinder it was 40 F outdoors! That's a 47-degree DIFFERENCE in temperature from […]
If you're a new subscriber, when I make a mistake I send out something like this. The headline is something my son used to say when he was a little tyke after he'd drop something or break something. I was in a rush last night when I built the newsletter you received earlier this morning. […]
I had a troubling thing happen to me this week that you need to know about. I'm about to save you thousands of dollars in the future. A public relations (PR) person who I'll not name contacted me with the following message: "Hi Tim, Wondered if you might need a building expert who specializes in […]
We had record-breaking cold here in NH over the weekend. My Davis weather station sensor up on top of my garage roof transmitted to the interior dashboard panel that it was only -12F on Sunday morning. Yes, I know it was colder for some, but it was D * * * cold here. So cold […]
It's coooooooold here this morning in New Hampshire. When I woke up it was 7 F. Brrrrrrrrrrr Yes, I'm waiting for all the teasing comments from you snowbirds down in FL and AZ and way Down Under where you're enjoying your last days of summer! Blah blah blah..... The next 48 hours promise even colder […]
