Up On The Roof
Summer’s here and the living is easy. Or at least
it would be if you hadn’t put off that list of spring home repairs. Some you’ll
take care of yourself. The plugged utility drain is disgusting, but doable and
the leaky faucet just takes a trip to the hardware store and some elbow grease.
But if a leaky or worn roof is on the list, it’s best to get help from a
reputable roofing contractor. Professional roofers are trained to safely and

Create Your Own
Self-Watering System For Household Plants
Plan on being out of the house for a few days? If so, you won’t need to
call a friend or neighbor to water your indoor plants because we’re
going to show you how to set up your own self-watering system! All you
need is water and a wick…
First, fill a container with water. Then cut a piece of nylon
clothesline long enough to connect your container of water to your
plant.
Before you leave, soak the wick for thirty minutes. Next, water your
plant thoroughly and let it drain. Put one end of the wet rope into the
container. Take the other end and push it about a third of the way into
the plant’s soil.
Now raise the water container onto an inverted pot or another platform.
The container must be higher than the pot so gravity can do its job and
supply your plant with water.
For larger plants, you can use more than one wick. Just be sure to space
them evenly throughout the pot.
