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

Why Bathtub Refinishing Fort Lauderdale Style Is Important To You

By Sally Delacruz


Looking into remodeling of your home takes into consideration a multitude of things. There is the dining and living areas as well as the kitchen. The bathroom is one of these and maybe the bathtub needs a little work. There may be no reason to replace that tub if you can employ the firms who do the bathtub refinishing Fort Lauderdale home owners appreciate.

Scratches and marks will make this tub less than appealing to many people. It might have been damaged because of other work that had gone on in this area. It might be discolored and the bottom slip proofing may have come off or become useless with all of the people who have used it. Changing the color of this unit will also help brighten the area more than you may think.

The option to buy a new one is always there, however, refinishing the old one is far less expensive. Especially when you consider the demolition and construction necessary to install a new one. The finishing can be done within the same day and back in service for the next morning in most situations.

It is important to know what type of material has been used to fabricate your tub. There are plastic and fiberglass as well as enamel coated metal. Most companies working in this industry will have the training and experience to handle any of these. Calling a firm and letting them know this will help them send the right service technician out to look the job over.

Plastic tubs have been sold as a budget product and many experts will tell you it is time to replace it. They will, however, be able to repair it if that is what you want. Regardless of which type of tub you have, the technicians will make sure the work does not impact the rest of the home. Many of the chemicals and compounds they use are not people or pet friendly, so isolation is necessary.

To finish an enamel coated metal tub, more preparation as well as costlier elements are involved. The current tub is cleaned thoroughly and loose material is removed. This is to present a solid, clean surface for the epoxies used to adhere to. After the cleaning and as the application is being done, circulating air as well as heating lamps are set up to make the curing possible.

Fiberglass tubs are very popular and this shows in the way they have been used all around the country. When finishing them, cleanliness is also important. Any cracks or holes are filled in with fiberglass cloth and the compound is applied, carefully, over the entire surface. Fiction particles can be applied in the bottom and embedded into this compound. The fresh air, brought in by the fans set up for this purpose, and the heating lamps will also be instrumental in the curing for this medium.

Depending on the color of your newly finished tub, and you can have the color changed if you would like, this will help make the room brighter. It can help set off the area of the room it is in and you do not have to always have the shower curtain or door shut when you have company. The professionals are the ones to employ for this and they have your interests in heart as they recommend the best surfaces and colors for it.
