Each year, there are reportedly 2.2 million burglaries that occur in the U.S. alone. That’s one every 15 seconds. Security companies use that fact to scare you into purchasing the best alarm and surveillance systems money can buy. If you want to spend all your hard-earned cash on that sophisticated gear, go ahead — that’s entirely your choice. But, instead of going out and breaking your bank on enhancing your home’s security, former Navy SEAL Clint Emerson, author of 100 Deadly Skills: The SEAL Operative’s Guide to Eluding Pursuers, Evading Capture, and Surviving Any Dangerous Situation, wants to show you a few cheap, simple tricks that’ll help protect your family. 1. Make your property appear unpredictable Intentionally display evidence of having children or dogs in your home. When your home has a great element of unpredictability — both children and dogs can make a lot of noise at a moment’s notice — burglars will stay away. 2. Reinforce your exterior door frames Burglars lik...

By Rhyan Henson | Posted: Thu 11:02 AM, May 17, 2018 WACO, Texas. (KWTX) The Waco Police Department urges homeowners to invest in a home security system. Several Waco residents have already gotten their money’s worth after recent crimes were foiled by security systems. “We knew exactly who we were looking for based off the homeowners cameras,” Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said. “We were able to provide accurate descriptions of clothing. The race of the suspects. Gender of the suspects and that information was provided by homeowners yesterday and it helps capture those criminals. That’s evidence for court that the homeowner has.” Swanton also said having watchful trusted neighbors are just as beneficial as installing cameras and alarms. More than 34 million homes and businesses have some sort of electronic surveillance system according to the Electronic Security Association. If you are a Do-It-yourself person, you can order a system online or buy one from an electroni...

by Guest on Apr 9, 2018 It wasn’t long ago that electric gates were something you only saw on big estate houses and the driveways of the rich and famous. We all imagine tall iron gates with security cameras and intercoms that produce an overprotective security guard demanding some scheduled appointment or other whys ‘please leave’. Those days are long behind us and more and more people are installing stylish looking gates that complement the age and style of their property, protect their home or business and keep away unwanted callers. So why not just install some basic gates and save your hard-earned money? Unfortunately, we are all only human and who wants to continuously get in and out of their vehicle every time we want to leave or enter our driveway. Especially when the rains coming down or we are late to get the kids to school. So, if we have gates, we leave them open. It’s just easier that way and open gates in a driveway are about as useful as no gates at all. What’s more...

07/10/2017 Dealing with a rusty garage door? You’re not alone. Garage doors are frequently exposed to outside elements that can cause rust build-up over time. This is especially true of cheaper metal doors or for those who live closer to the ocean. Minor rust can be buffered out with sandpaper or removed with a solvent. If it’s a large amount of rust, you’ll probably need to repaint the whole panel after removing the rust. For rust on garage door parts, use a solvent made for rust and gently scrub. Afterwards, apply a light amount of white lithium grease or silicone spray to prevent further corrosion. For panels with heavy rust damage, you may need to purchase a new garage door. Some parts like garage door springs or hinges may require replacing as well if the rust damage is significant.   Link to the article: https://www.sacsgarage.com/remove-rust-garage-door/ Related articles: https://metalrescue.wordpress.com/category/rust-gone-wild/two-guys-garage-rust-gone-wild/ For...

by PuroClean Editorial Team Mold thrives in humid environments that have little ventilation and sunlight. If these conditions are met, it doesn’t take long for mold to grow on organic material like cardboard or drywall. Garages are typically havens for mold, unless homeowners take proper steps to reduce moisture. Here’s how you can keep mold from infesting your garage. Check your garage for leaks. Inspect the areas in your garage, such as the roof, floor, gutters, and pipes, to ensure that they are in good condition. Fix any cracks and damage you find immediately. Seal and insulate your garage door. To weather-proof your garage, it’s important to properly seal and insulate your garage door. Replace torn, ragged or crumbling weather stripping immediately. In addition, check the bottom seal for elasticity, shrinkage, and wear. As for insulation, a pre-insulated garage door panel has a much higher R-value (the measure of how well an object resists conductive flow of heat). Decreas...

December 29, 2018 Some homeowners fix the problem of an odd-smelling house by lighting a scented candle. But be warned: Doing so could put the house’s inhabitants at risk of inhaling dust and fungal spores. That’s what researchers from San Diego State University found over the course of their study, which took an investigative look at the factors that contribute to indoor pollution. “Our primary goal was to figure out what’s happening in houses that leads to higher air particle levels and, in turn, to unhealthy environments for kids,” stated study co-author John Bellettiere. For their study, the researchers installed a pair of air particle monitors in the homes of 300 families living in San Diego. Each family had at least one smoker and at least one child aged 14 or younger. The air particle monitors were then placed in the area of the house closest to where smoking occurred and the child’s bedroom. For three months, the monitors scanned for particles between 0.5 to 2.5 micrometers ...
