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.

I love my windchimes

I just love the sound of my windchimes.

I have them hanging inside our enclosed front porch so they don’t make a lot of sound unless there’s a good breeze coming in the window that they hang in front of, but it’s nice to hear them chime every now and then.

Sometimes I’ll walk up to them and make them make their musical sound by swinging the dangling pendant on my own.

Do you have windchimes? Do you like them or does the sound drive you nuts?

Free blog community at Thoughts.com

by Tricia

I was asked to do a write up of Thoughts.com blogs – a 100% free online blog community.

Thoughts.com was given an appropriate name since it was created as a place for people to share their thoughts. It has since developed into a community of bloggers from all over the world.

As free blog communities go there are a few features that you’ll find on Thoughts.com that you won’t find elsewhere.

Unlike other blogging communities members of Thoughts.com can share videos, photos, music files and podcasts. Registered members can even rate other members videos, podcasts, blog posts and photos. In fact, if a member wanted to be able to make posts in the community blog sections of the site they would need to have been rated by other members and have attained a rating of 4 in order to post. So participation and interaction with other members is obviously encouraged.

I realize that many of the people that read my gardening blog have websites or blogs of their own, but not all of you do. Perhaps Thoughts.com might be a site to explore since you can upload your own photos and videos for others to see. If you were to sign up for a free membership you could use your blog as a journal and make entries about your plants or gardening methods.

The best feature of the site is of course that you can upload so many different types of multimedia all in one site. Other blog related communities or for that matter even personal blogs often need to host their photos, videos and podcasts on a variety of sites and then embed code into their blogs or posts in order to show others what they’ve created. Since you can store all your multimedia files right on thoughts.com I’m sure it’s easier to use photos and videos in your posts or point others to these files without having to leave the site.

Another great feature of Thoughts.com is the fact that they reward their top members with a free trip each year. This year they’ll be taking five of their most active members to Las Vegas. It’s an all expenses paid retreat. You can read all about it on the site but the winners will stay in a 4 star Las Vegas resort, have three free dinners and two free shows awarded to them, as well as having round trip airfare from anywhere in the continental United States.

Now that sounds like a pretty sweet deal. I can’t think of any other blog community that does anything like that. The best part is that all you have to do to win is be one of the most active on the site which is easy enough to do if you are uploading photos and videos, having them rating by members and rating other members items as well.

Check out Thoughts.com if you’d like to start your own free blog and socialize with others. Don’t forget to visit the community forums while you are there.
