So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Painting a Wooden Garage Is Very Important

By Jesper Kanakki

It doesn't really matter what car you use as you go back and forth to your office. What is more important is that you take care of it and keep it in a well-built garage after a long and hectic day. The garage will serve its purpose of protecting the car from the harmful weather elements like the sizzling rays of the summer sun, the cold dampness of fall and the nippy air of winter season. It can also be a shield from the onslaught of snowflakes.

Building a garage typically lies in the style of the owner. One could go for the detached or attached type. Obviously, each type provides its own lists of advantages and disadvantages. Then, there is the option of having a single door garage for owners with only one car. For those who have many automobiles, one can have it custom-made into two-door, three-door or four-door garage. If there is a wide and open space for such a structure, then no problem will come up.

Housing materials could also vary depending on the owner's discriminating taste and budget. It could be made of cement, wood or a combination of both. Aside from being a car's simple abode, it could also serve as a storage area and potential money earner if rented out to an individual looking for a place to stay.

Is your garage mostly made of wood? Then it is imperative that you coat it with good quality paint. The next few paragraphs will explain in detail why you must perform this essential task. Read on.

First, it will look more visually pleasing. Wooden garages are fine if the material used has been polished. However, if you utilized those timber and plywood with rough textures, then it would not look good at all. You can remedy this problem by using paint. Not only will you conceal unsightly parts, you will also brighten the room especially if you apply pastel shades like mint green, sky blue and salmon pink. If you prefer a cozier atmosphere, then neutral shades like cream, beige or taupe are your best bet to solve your aesthetic woes.

Most paint companies offer a wide selection today. Simply look for one that will click with your discerning taste and personality.

The second reason why you must paint a garage is that it will act as a protective coat for the wood. Since wood is a biodegradable material, changes in the weather pattern, such as extreme heat and cold, could affect its composition. Over a period of time, it will rot and decompose. This will cause a big expense on your part if you habitually change the garage materials every so often. Surely, you don't want to shell out a few hundred grand in a periodic manner, don't you? It would be totally impractical.

Lastly, a wooden garage needs to be painted in order to shun the presence of mold and mildew. They are very harmful to wooden materials, causing darkening and shrinking of the wood. If left unpainted, it could cause structural problems, posing a great hazard to the health of the homeowner. Isn't this a scary scenario? Aside from that, mold and mildew can also cause allergies in unsuspecting individuals. Eliminating them with chemically treated paint will easily solve the problem.
