Repair and Maintenance of Apartment

My brother is sending his carpenter on his apartments to do some repairs as per request of one of his tenants. He would do some strengthening of structures, inspect some loose threads and will see that everything will be in proper living condition before leaving g the area. The carpenter brought along some tools and told me that he needs the likes of reidsupply.com for fasteners to fasten and thread some areas in the kitchen and garage. 

His supply ran out of stock and he would still need a few to finish the repair. Well keeping up 6-row apartment is not that easy as you have to see to it that every unit should be maintained and cared for. The owner should save some of its earnings to pay for emergency repair and regular maintenance to upkeep the beauty and durability of apartments. A well-maintained place of living will last longer than those improperly kept.

The George Nelson Pendant Range

The George Nelson pendant range is an iconic collection of designs that hark back to American modernism. Designed in 1947 for Howard Miller, Nelson’s architectural background helped him create the simple sculptural lamps from self-webbing plastic and a steel wire frame.

The bubble-like product was at once outer-worldly and evocative of ancient Chinese paper lanterns – an appropriate symbol of the tussle between modernity and traditionalism in the 1950s. They were discontinued in 1979, but reissued by Modernica in the 1990s. Modernica were faithful to Nelson’s original designs, instead taking creative license to name the various shapes. The ball, the cigar and the saucer—as we now know them—have since remained a modern classic. They are part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, but are just as popular in homes worldwide.

The bubble lamps diffuse a cosy, glare-free yet abundant light, and their elegant simplicity looks striking in any interior space. Pendants are becoming increasingly popular in interior design, and a George Nelson bubble lamp can be easily incorporated into your home. Their versatility means they look great mounted alone or in multiples, or suspended at staggered heights for a dramatic effect.  The neutral shade complements any colour scheme and also means they won’t look dated in a few years. Nor will you have to change your light features if you decide to redecorate. They are fun, but not limiting.

Adding a George Nelson bubble lamp can really tie together a design scheme. There are many cheap imitations on the market however, so look to an authentic dealer such as Geoffrey Harris to buy yours. Consider the cigar shape for a small room, or group together a few to create your own streamlined chandelier. The regal cigar offsets a vintage style living area perfectly, as does the classic saucer shape. Alternatively, mount a ball lamp for a more contemporary feel. Remember to not feel restricted however—these pendants work equally well in the kitchen or dining room as they do the bedroom or the hallway.  Experiment with different shapes, different sizes and different heights to find your own personal way to introduce a piece of modern art into your home.

Safety in Riding Horses

In our hometown in Laguna I had an experience riding the horse in big basket placed on each side of the horse. My brother and I were side by side riding with our Uncle who was young then. We would go up the mountains without hardship because Uncle can control his horse very well. He’s also into some kind of horse riding apparel when he sets for a day of work in our mountain. 

He said it’s safer when you wear the right one because it’s designed for tough riding and it has some protection specifically for horse riders. Now that he’s passed away already few years ago I never think that I’ll ever ride a horse again with such happiness and confidence. Well maybe but I’m not so sure really!

Musical Instruments’ Inventory

Our music ministry in our church is currently having an inventory of all our musical instruments and noting some instruments that need repairs, replacement and proper maintenance. To avoid further damage to some instruments little kids were not allowed to play them during break time as sometimes they sneak in and play on drums and microphones. Last month we bought some accessories and replacements for drum sets and we’re happy with the results because it sounds new again. 

Musical instruments should really be maintained properly in order to perform well and to last longer. Well upon complete inventory they found out that we still need additional acoustic guitar so we can carry it for outdoor services and a new amplifier to replace the old one. We all know that it’s a bit expensive to buy a new one so we’re still canvassing on prices. It’s good to buy high quality classic fender excelsior but we still have to save some money for that kind. When we buy instruments for the church they usually meet and plan first, ask the opinion of others then proceed with canvassing and purchasing.

I experience this with our computer area in the house where I always think of ideas on how to minimize the clutter and not-so-good looks of cables for computer, printer and internet.  Sometimes I hide it at the back of the table and some at the back of the printer but nevertheless I can't achieve the clean look.  Those cables are so important to me but the area really looks messy most of the times especially that our desktop computers are for my kids.  

Well just looking at the picture above makes me relax at the sight.

Time flies so fast and the first month of the year is running so fast it’s almost the middle of the month. My office mates and I were always talking how fast time is because you’ll be amazed at how the days gone by and few days after now it will be the end of the month. What I’m looking forward now is the most favorite vacation of all which is the summer vacation. This school and summer break is the longest vacation for students in a year so we’re doing all efforts to enjoy being together with the kids. 

I would again love to spend some days in Montalban where we get the best weather and nature while not being far from the city. I would just see to it that I have my prepaid broadband on the go so I’ll stay connected while away from my home internet. I also promise myself to buy a new camera and laptop bag like the northface bookbags I saw recently. I need a tough bag for my precious gadgets and working tool so I want high quality bag which I can only get from known brands.
