Building a Greenhouse for Gardening and More, Simplified with Repair-Home.com










Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) April 13, 2007

A series of articles featured at Repair-Home.com, an online, interactive home repair source, helps homeowners learn more about how to change the look and feel of their homes and gardens this spring by building a greenhouse (http://www.repair-home.com/landscape_building_greenhouse.html). Spring planting is often done outdoors, but homeowners may want to try greenhouse gardening to bring the outdoors in, says Repair-Home.com.

According to “Why Go Green: Greenhouses and Plants,” building a greenhouse offers many benefits that extend beyond traditional gardening usage. “A greenhouse sunroom is a wonderful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, to spend time among living, breathing plants and to feel rejuvenated and alive” (http://www.repair-home.com/landscape_building_greenhouse.html).

“More gardeners are adding an indoor dimension to their gardening interests by building a greenhouse,” says Popular Mechanics. ” the kit greenhouse has made owning a greenhouse more feasible than ever.” Repair-Home.com agrees, noting that the project doesn’t necessarily require a professional. “Greenhouse kits come with a wide variety of features, depending on what you are looking for.”

Although there are many options to choose from in greenhouse construction, “Gardening and Greenhouse: Get Your Own Hideaway,” one of two new articles featured at Repair-Home.com points out, “Getting a greenhouse getaway in your backyard doesn’t have to be complicated” (http://www.repair-home.com/landscape_building_greenhouse.html).

The West Virginia University Extension Service points out that, “There are advantages and disadvantages to each type .” For homeowners considering greenhouse construction, there are a number of decisions to make from design to location, but the first decisions should address the amount of space available as well as the budget, says Repair-Home.com.

In addition to articles, Repair-Home.com offers other tools and tips that help homeowners find information and resources for making repairs, updating and renovating their houses and tackling other indoor and outdoor projects. For homeowners interested in changing their spring planting and gardening routine, “greenhouses have many benefits”.

Home Maintenance Checklist for Spring 2007 on Repair-Home.com

Home Maintenance Checklist for Spring 2007 on Repair-Home.com










Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) February 27, 2007

Warming weather and a later-setting sun serve as a reminder to all homeowners of upcoming spring home maintenance procedures. To assist homeowners beginning that process, Repair-Home.com, an online home repair resource, has published its “Home Maintenance Checklist for Spring 2007.” The checklist provides a sensible blueprint to address every meaningful area of home maintenance and repair (http://www.repair-home.com/home_maintenance_checklist.html).

The home maintenance and repair suggestions offered by Repair-Home.com can be done fairly quickly and easily (http://www.repair-home.com/home_maintenance_checklist.html). Highlights of “Home Maintenance Checklist for Spring 2007″ include:

    Service heating system and A/C system.

    Test pressure value on water heater.

    Inspect basement for moisture and rotten wood.

    Check roof for damaged shingles.

    Lubricate hinges, locks and moving door hardware.

“Spring is a time to assess how well your maintenance work held up during the winter and what other maintenance work or repairs must be made as a result of winter,” reports James and Morris Carey, nationally recognized home building and renovation experts and hosts of the syndicated radio show, On the House. The Carey Brothers offer a concrete example of the power of timely home maintenance. “The average water heater should last about 12 years. This limited life easily could be doubled with regular maintenance, such as flushing sediment from the bottom of the tank and replacing the sacrificial anode.”

Spring is not the only time when thorough and periodic home maintenance checks should be performed. Repair-Home.com provides a comprehensive list for every season to keep homeowners aware and prepared to make repairs and upgrades on every system in the home.
