Spring Break

Spring Break Plans

If you plan to travel after Easter, hit Yellowstone Park. After April 15th and before Memorial Day is a great time to visit this fantastic place. Bring warm clothes but you will have the park and places such as Jackson Hole pretty much to yourself. My favorite time of year is late September when the Aspens are turning. Last year during the first week in October one of the passes to Old Faithful was closed due to snow. The next day was one of the prettiest I’ve even seen.

One outstanding vacation destination for the spring that is often overlooked is “Viva Las Vegas. There is tons of things to do and see even if you don’t want to gamble. From golf to great food to great shows to Hoover Dam, Vegas has something for almost anyone’s taste.

Spring break is fast approaching. Whether you want to go to Panama City or Daytona Beach with the college students or two weeks at a Jamaican exclusive resort now is the time to start planning. Using the internet you can find some great bargains on both airfare and hotels. Some of the best packages are to Cancun and the Bahamas and other well known sites.

Storage

It is funny how big a new, larger house feels when you first move in. It only takes a few months before it starts to feel just as cramped and cluttered as you old home. Fortunately there are several solutions – outdoor storage and storage rental space.

Outdoor storage units now can be cheap and flimsy aluminum or rubber all the way to elaborate small buildings with windows, concrete floors and electric. They can cost from a few hundred dollars to several thousands of dollars. Some come pre-assembled and some require a carpenter to build. These are okay for lawn movers and garden tools, but in most cases you wouldn’t want to put anything of real value or furniture with fabric in an out door shed.

This brings us to the ubiquitous self-storage centers. These seem to pop up like mushrooms in suburban areas and some of the rates are very low if you get a long term contract. The advantages of these units are often for a few extra dollars you can get one that is climate controlled. This means they are suitable for furniture, clothing and other items that are susceptible to cold and mold.

So whether a backyard storage shed will fit your need or you are looking for a deluxe, climate controlled, secure place to store your valuable. You have options

Spring is the right of the year to start on some simple yard & landscaping projects. There are tons of things to do to make your grass grow better or get your shrubs in perfect shape for next season. You can make repairs to walls or fences. It would be a good time to add an invisible fence to keeps the pets from wandering off.

If you live in the south, now is when you want to have your Sweet Gum trees injected by an arborist so they don’t produce those annoying and impossible to rake “gum balls” next fall.

Take advantage of those early spring days and get a jump on your lawn and yard. A little work now can save you a ton of work later.
