Dear HomeAdditionPlus.com Website Visitor,

Happy New Year!

 

With the holidays all but behind us, and the kids heading back to school, its time to start thinking spring and warmer weather. Unfortunately however, for many of us warm weather is still another three to four months away. Consequently in this month’s issue of the HomeAdditionPlus.com newsletter we share some ideas with you on winter home improvement topics including, Home Freeze Alarms that monitor your home’s temperature and automatically call you when there is a problem.

 

We also have an interesting article on Radiant Cove Heaters. Radiant Cove Heaters are a great low installation cost heating alternative to your home that is ideal for new home additions.

In keeping with the winter home theme, we also discuss Ice Damming and how to prevent it. Ice damming is a major cause of winter home damage that can be prevented with a little knowledge.

Thinking a little bit more towards spring we also have included an interesting article on electric patio heaters to enable you to maximize the use of your patio.

 

In the home, we discuss a couple of related topics on how to fix a sticky interior door and how to repair a sagging kitchen cabinet spice rack. We also discuss a new technology for repairing stripped out screw holes. A stripped out screw hole, is frequently the source for sticky doors and sagging spice racks.

 

Finally, we have an interesting article on the future of home lighting. Today, wireless means more than your cell phone and computer. See our article on radio controlled home lighting systems to learn more.

 

As always, if you have any specific Home Improvement questions or would like to see articles on certain subjects send me an email at contact@homeadditionplus.com.

Also, if you have pictures of your home or latest home improvement project that you want to share with the HomeAdditionPlus.com community [Click Here] and we will create your own home’s unique webpage. 

Again, good luck with your home improvement projects and have a happy and joyous new year.

Home Freeze Alarm

 

I installed a home freeze alarm system in my home yesterday, and I must say I am pretty impressed with it.  I installed an FA-D2 Freeze Alarm that I purchased online from Smarthome.com. The FA-D2 Freeze Alarm provides a number of unique features that I could not find in other systems I researched. [Read More]

 


Radiant Heating and Radiant Cove Heaters

 

Radiant cove heaters are an ideal choice for heating a new addition to your home. Radiant Cove heaters, as their name implies, provide radiant heat to rooms by converting electricity into heat energy. [Read More]

 


Ice Damming

 

Ice dams are the accumulation of ice at the eaves and valleys of roofs, and in some winters create major problems. Insufficient attic insulation or attic ventilation can cause roof snow to melt and slide down to the eaves, where the roof surface is cooler and the melting snow freezes to the roof. Subsequent melting causes water to pool behind this dam and sometimes the water seeps between the shingle layers, wetting the roof deck and possibly the walls and ceilings below. [Read More]


Electrical Patio Heaters

 

Why do people love to entertain and host parties outdoors? If you ask this question of a dozen people their answers for the most part would likely focus on how much easier it is to have a party outside rather than indoors. There is less mess to clean up, it's less crowded, and you can invite more guests than you would be able to if the party was inside. But if you plan to host a party in the evening, it could be quite chilly and uncomfortable to entertain outdoors. Electric patio heaters, though, can warm things up for you and your guests.

Radio Controlled Home Lighting Systems

 

As the cell phone has become ubiquitous in our lives, other wireless technology products are now beginning to pervade our homes.  Wireless routers and radio controlled home lighting systems are primary examples of the wireless phenomenon. [Read More]
