It's the Right Time to Get Your Backyard Grill - March Madness Continues!

Because of our Dry Season, the weather is mostly sunny during Easter time and continuing for several months up to June or there about, you can fully enjoy your backyard. You may have a patio and a strip of green if you live in an urban setting, or like many of us who live in a rural area, you may have a large yard with plenty of green space that allows you, your family and your friends to spread out.

An outdoor space doesn’t seem complete without a grill or two in use. Having a grill as part of your outdoor setup means less time inside the house during the Easter weekend and a chance to show off your culinary skills even if it's just for grilling hot dogs and hamburgers.

Grills come in many assorted styles, and we have several for you to consider. Gas grills and charcoal grills are the most common.

Gas grills most common require a canister of propane to be attached, but this allows these grills to be used anywhere in the backyard or even away from home. Charcoal grills use lighted charcoal briquettes to supply the heat. Gas grills allow you to control the flame better, but some people prefer the taste that comes from cooking over charcoal.

With any kind of grill, accessories are important. This includes spatulas, tongs, sauce brushes or mops, knives, grill brushes, forks and skewers. You can purchase these items separately or choose one of our convenient sets that have all the pieces you need inside.

Other accessories and supplies to consider include:

• Grill covers for protecting your grill against the elements
• Chimney starters, charcoal, and lighter fluid 
• Grill cleaning tools stiff wire brushes that keep grill grates clean of burnt food

Having some furniture and a grill in your outdoor space is a terrific start. However, you may want to consider adding some homier touches to complete the scene. Outdoor lighting is also essential because you don't want to be forced to go inside once the sun sets. Options you have here include landscape and deck lights, decorative lights that you connect to your home, colored bulbs on strands that you hang strategically around the patio or even flood lights.

Our March Madness continues – 5 more days  remaining!

How to Make Your Shower Tile Look Fresh and NewThis Easter?

Have you recently taken a close look at the tiles in your shower? Did you notice that grout is missing around certain tiles or it is discoloured? When the grout fails or becomes discoloured or stained, sometimes it's necessary to completely remove the old grout and regrout your tile.

A before and after view

Shower  grout can fail for many reasons. Improper initial installation or mixing of the grout can cause premature failure. Harsh acid based cleaners can degrade grout over time. Tiles that are set too close together can cause grout to “pop out”. Time in general can cause gout to fail. It is vitally important to rectify this as soon as possible. Water that migrates behind the tiles and into the wall can cause mold to form.  Also – tiles will begin to loosen and possibly fall off the wall.

Any time you as a homeowner see grout that is missing you should have it repaired as soon as possible. Follow the steps below and you will have your bathroom tile looking fresh and new with little effort.

You will need the following tools to complete your task:-

Grout saw           Bag of grout        Grout float                5-gallon bucket

Water                 Sponges               Rubber gloves            Microfiber towels

Grout saw

Remove the old grout:

To do it right you’re going to have to dig out all your old grout. Use the grout saw to "saw" the old grout out of the tile. Place the saw into the grout line and saw back and forth. Make sure to remove as much grout as possible—at least two-thirds—because you want to ensure that there is enough tile edge for the new grout to adhere to. When you're finished removing the old grout, sweep or vacuum up any grout dust that remains.

Mix and apply new grout:

Once all your grout is removed and you have your new grout, it's cake from here. Every grout product has its own mixing requirements, so read and follow the directions for the grout product you're using. Mix you up some grout and get your "float" ready and go to town.

You can use your hands or a grout float and scoop some grout out of the bucket and onto the tile and force the grout into the grout lines - you can use your finger and jam the grout in the cracks.

If you are doing a wall, start at the bottom of the wall. If you are doing a floor, start at the corner farthest from the door so as to not stress about walking or crawling over your work. Spread your grout and let it set-up for about 5 minutes.

Work in a small area at a time because you do not want the grout to dry before you have the desired finish you want. The grout should be almost flush with the top of the tile. Grout lines should be full but not over-filled. Use the float and run it along the grout lines at a 45-degree angle to smooth it out.

Cleaning the tile

Cleaning the tile:

Now you will notice the grout makes a mess on your tile. You’ll want to clean this up! Make sure to have a bucket of water and a clean sponge prepped. After the grout has set for about 20-30 minutes, wring out your sponge really good and lightly go over the tile in circular motions.

After you have cleaned off the tiles, wring out the sponge and wipe along the grout line to smooth it out. Now, do not touch your work. Be patient and let the grout set and dry completely.

Removing the haze:

After about an hour, go over the entire surface a second time for a final cleaning to remove a haze over the top of the tile. You will want remove the haze immediately because if you wait a day or so, it will be much more difficult to remove.

Removing the haze

Get a fresh bucket of water and a new sponge. Once again, be sure to wring out the sponge thoroughly and wipe down the tile to remove the haze. More than likely, you will have to wipe down the tile several times to remove all the haze completely. This can take some time, but you will want to make sure all the haze is gone. One tip for removing the haze is to use microfiber towels. They are inexpensive and can remove a large portion of the haze in one wipe-down.

Be sure to let the grout set for 24 to 48 hours before you take a shower or allow any water to come in contact with the area you just grouted.

4 Tips to Increase Your Smartphone's Battery Life.

We use our phone almost all the time, for watching movies to listening to music and browsing Internet, likewise when it’s subjected to heavy usage the internal battery is more likely to be degraded, so even before the nighttime comes around, the battery is close to zero or already dead. This is a very frustrating moment, especially if we constantly use the phone for important things, and in moments like night parties, overtime or when hanging out outside.

Do you know how to keep your smartphone's battery healthy?

Probably not. In fact, you may have been hastening the death of your phone's battery with your charging habits.

If you want to keep your smartphone battery in top condition and go about your day without worrying about battery life, you need to change a few things. You can coax more life out of your phone by charging the battery correctly. Here are a few tips:-

1 - Avoid keeping your phone plugged in when it's fully charged

According to Cadex, a company that offers devices that test smartphone batteries, among others offers a lot of information on its site “Battery University”, (http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries).

 Leaving your phone plugged in when it's fully charged, like you might overnight, is bad for the battery in the long run, the company suggests. 

Once your smartphone has reached 100% charge, it gets "trickle charges" to keep it at 100% while plugged in. It keeps the battery in a high-stress, high-tension state, which wears down the chemistry within.

2 - Keep your phone cool

Smartphone batteries are very sensitive to heat. Certain cases we use are sometimes insulate  heat from the phone. 

If you notice that your device gets hot when you charge it, take it out of its case first. If you're out in the hot sun, keep your phone covered. It'll protect your battery's health.

And if you’re not using your phone, turn it to airplane mode or turn it off. Putting it in airplane mode will allow you to keep time and play music, but that will be it. These two options make it easier to save your battery and prevent it from heating up.

3 - Charge your phone as often as you can

To get the most out of your smartphone's battery, you'll need to charge it properly. It turns out that the batteries in our smartphones are much happier if you charge them occasionally throughout the day instead of plugging them in for a big charging session when they're empty.

The best way to charge your phone is a little at a time, whenever you have a chance.

Just plug it in whenever you can, even if it's for a few minutes, and you'll be fine.It's fine to plug and unplug it multiple times a day.

Repeatedly allowing the battery to drain fully may shorten its life and decrease its overall capacity.

4 – Try not to charge your phone to 100%

According to Battery University, "Li-ion does not need to be fully charged, nor is it desirable to do so. In fact, it is better not to fully charge, because a high voltage stresses the battery" and wears it away in the long run. 

Your battery will also perform better if you don't let it charge to 100 percent, so take it off the charger at about 80 to 90 percent capacity.
