Upgrading your home?

by Tricia

Winter’s not anywhere close to being over yet, especially tonight with the ice storm that’s currently raging outside, however you’d never know it when you walk around the neighborhood. It seems that at least one house in 10 in undergoing major renovations. In fact, my elderly neighbors home just started being renovated last week.

I don’t where my neighbors or their contractors are getting their products, but if you happen to be upgrading, renovating or having a new home built you might want to take a look at the products at Builders Electronics.

Builders Electronics has been in business since 1955 and they specialize in high quality home products. For example you’ll find Broan/NuTone, Denon, Aiphone, Beam, NEC, Panasonic, Sonance, Pioneer, Music & Sound and M&S Systems in their line of quality brand name products.

If you’re interested in renovating your kitchen and want to have quality products in your new kitchen you might take a look at their line of Broan Range Hoods. Likewise if you’re upgrading your bathroom – take a look at their Nutone Bath Fan Upgrade. They even have bath fans with light light fixtures. You’d never know it was a fan at all.

Builders Electronics also carries several types of Central Vacuum Systems, door chimes, Fans and heaters, Intercoms, Ironing Centers, Kitchen Centers, Medicine cabinets and several other items for the home.

As well as offering quality products they also specialize in custom installations and services such as security/burglar/fire and Access Entry systems, surround sound home theater systems, intercom systems, telephone systems and even surveillance systems.

Just visit their website to view their line of products and look over the services they offer.

Honeysuckle Gold Flame

I’m hoping that my Honeysuckle Gold Flame managed to survive the winter! We grow it at the side of the house, at the back entrance to the garden.

It’s in a large planter pot that’s right against the brick wall of the house. Along the wall we’ve placed wooden lattice for the honeysuckle to grow on, and on the entrance side of the plant there’s the bamboo arbor where several of the honeysuckles branches tend to grow.

I used to have a harlequin honeysuckle in this area, but it wasn’t hardy enough to be in a planter over winter it seems. So I replaced it with the Golf Flame which is a hardier honeysuckle.

I sure hope it survived. It’s definitely had quite a bit of snow cover this year! It’s so very pretty when it blooms that I’d hate to lose it.

The photo above is of the Gold Flame honeysuckle when it was just about to bloom for me for the first time. It has beautiful colorful flowers.

My snowy garden

snow covered Theresa Bugnet rose

Well I can’t say that my garden looks like that much right now, but some of the plants that have a dusting of snow look lovely.

The snow dusted branches above are from my rose Theresa Bugnet. It’s a very hardy rugosa type rose. It’s branches turn a deep crimson red in the winter and as you can see it looks lovely after a snow storm.

Dwarf Mugo Pine covered in snow

snow covered Mugo pine

We have three dwarf mugo pine in the front walk between our neighbors house and ours (we live in a semi-detached house) and when it snows they get a lovely coating of snow too that stays on their branches often for a few days.

Can you tell that it snowed over the weekend?

Do you have photos of your garden in the off season? Perhaps snow covered plants or frosted flowers?

BTW my post is a bit late today because our internet and cable went down late last night and didn’t come back on again until an hour or two ago! Grrrr
