4th July Decorations
Fireworks, barbeque’s, 4th July decorations and parades are the main things people consider when the 4th of July starts to come around. It appears easy to plan a 4th of July party, throw some beer in an iced cooler and hot dogs on the grill, and hey-presto you have a party, yeah?
It’s certainly one way to look at it. Have you considered what everyone is to do before and after the hot dogs have been munched? Is everyone going to like your brand of beer? Where do your firework displays fit around your food eating schedule? One important thing to think about is what do you do if the heavens open up and it rains?
One of the main things to consider for your July the 4th party is to consider the location. It’s great to enjoy the company of family and friends outside in the sun. So this would be the first choice for many.
Your plans though can never control the weather. The weather forecast should never be taken as totally trustworthy and you should have a contingency plan. Can everyone that you invited be seated inside your home? Are there enough seats?
One alternative might be to hold your party in the garage if there’s not enough seating. Move the cars out and the picnic table and chairs in. Maybe not as much fun as a party outside but everyone will be dry.
Make sure the grill is far enough out of the garage to avoid the smoke bothering anyone and close enough to still be able cook the food
If an unforeseen weather change does start to dampen your party plans it’s still possible to make the most of it. Dress your garage with 4th July decorations in preparation and just move your party in there. Don’t let the rain ruin your 4th of July celebration, it’s all about having fun with your family and friends.

Kitchen Cabinet Hinges Pitfalls and Tips
Your focus when renovating your kitchen is normally on things like the layout, cabinet designs and the type of finishes for the cabinets or the bench tops. Maybe you haven’t thought too much about the type of kitchen cabinet hinges you are going to use. But think about it, the way your cabinet doors open and close or the way your drawers slide out can make or break the functionality of the whole kitchen.
One of the problems you will face when deciding which hinges to go with is that you will be presented with lots of choice. Some of the types of hinges available include a semi-concealed hinge, a surface mounted hinge, overlay and offset hinges and pivot hinges. There is a vast array of options available and to some extent the type of cabinets that you have will determine the sort of hinges you need.
Another important decision is whether you want self closing doors and drawers or if you are happy manually closing them. It is often worth paying a bit more for high quality hinges that will last you a life time. Given that the unit prices of hinges for kitchen cabinets range from a couple of dollars up to around ten dollars each the cost is not that significant compared to the cost of the remodeled kitchen.
One interesting type of hinge is the European door hinge which is normally attached to the back of the cabinet door and then attached to the inside side panel or possibly the edge of the face frame. The advantage of this type of hinge is that it is completely hidden. Certainly if not seeing the hinge is important to you then maybe this is one you should consider.
When shopping for hinges for your kitchen cabinets I suggest you take some time and consider the wide variety of options that are available to you. A good place to start your online search is at Hinges for Kitchen Cabinets.
Tips
Pavestone(s) Installation
Here’s a kind of funny and completely true story. We had a customer call in about a year and a half ago looking for a pavestone estimate. He seemed very eager to get the process started, so I went out to his house that afternoon. It was for a condominium that had a 10′ x 20′ front patio. As soon as set looked at his patio I was thought another contractor had been here and messed up the job. All existing concrete was torn out with just large mounds of dirt, roots and concrete spread around. When I knocked on the door , a man with a leg cast and crutches answered. I asked what he did to his leg and he simply pointed to the dirt mounds in his patio and said “that happened”.
The point of that story is that installing pavestones is a rigorous project. A proper pavestone installation requires a preparation of a minimum of 4 inches Class II road base (or more depending on where you live) and one inch of masonry sand. Basic paving stones are 60mm thick – so you have a total excavation depth of 7.5 inches, minimum. An average 1,100 square foot pavestone installation would require excavation of 26 cubic yards of existing concrete, dirt etc., which would take about 4 dump trucks. You would import 15 cubic yards of base and another 4 yards of sand. Is this still sounding like a weekend project to you?
While it takes only modest skill to cut a stone or lay a basic pattern, it takes a skilled professional to create a flight of steps or banding that meanders through a driveway, patio or walkway. This is where hiring a company like Panjia, Inc. is useful. Like I said, depending on your expectations of how you want your pavestone installation to look like in the end or how long you want your pavers to hold up against traffic will determine if you should hire a professional installation company, or take on the task yourself.
One thing is for certain, there are many unqualified contractors (some licensed and some unlicensed) that bid low and then deliver a poor installation. When you see a 30 – 40% difference in price something is wrong. You must make sure each company is bidding the same pavestone, and the same installation process with the same base / sand materials. This often explains dramatic differences in price. There is a reason every market has an average price range. It’s not because all of the companies got together and said let’s charge this amount. It’s because it costs and certain amount to do the job and then a certain amount to pay for other business expenses (overhead). Depending on the overhead you will see some slight variances in price.
