Preparing for any holiday trip is always a difficult process. With more and more families opting for the staycation, the onus falls upon parents to prepare for self-catering holidays around the country, or what is infinitely more demanding, the camping trip. Though the words might strike fear into the heart of any parent intent on actually having a relaxing holiday away from home, the reality is that they can be a fun way to increase family bonding and teach your children about the great outdoors. With a little preparation and a lot of extra time, you can ensure that your camping trip is fun and educational for all involved.Once you have settled on a destination and camping site, the first step is to start preparing a list of what you will need to take. Ideally, this will not just be left until the last minute, but will be compiled over a few weeks so that you have the chance to remember any idiosyncratic things that one of your offspring might need. So it is also a good idea to start collecting those disparate things together. After all, there is nothing worse than running around the day before desperately trying to find those items you put down somewhere. Things that can be...more

Let the Greensboro roof repair begin, it is that time of year again. Last week the thunderstorms and the heavy winds came tearing through our region. At 2 p.m., it was sunny and warm; by 4 p.m., it was dark, windy, and raining sideways. The only difference between a summer storm and fall storms is that the fall storms have hail. I have lived many places across the country, and we cannot really complain about weeks of extreme weather here in the Triad area, only short bursts of extreme weather. Unfortunately, it does not take very long for extreme weather to damage, or even destroy your roof. As a homeowner, I have learned to inspect my roof at least once a week, because a roof can suffer storm damage that requires repairs in only 20 minutes. I remember running out to Winston-Salem, NC on an errand, and returning an hour later to find shingles missing from my roof. Repair versus replaceAfter that experience, I learned to keep a close eye on the roof. I can assure you that if you have owned a home in the Greensboro or High Point areas for any significant time, then you have experienced the need to call on a roofing company. Fortunately, I deal with a reputable and trustworthy roofing...more
