Numerous individuals who are remodeling their houses will consider remaking only what they can do on the interior of the home. They work out a architectural plan on what they can do to broaden to fit another bedroom or bathroom.


In your front yard you can plant flowers around your walkway and on the edge of your home. Make sure that they are colorful and will provide a great aroma around your home that you can enjoy. Plant an exotic tree in the centre of the front yard and maybe place a bench that surrounds the trunk.IN HIS CHIEF CONCERNS COLUMN ON PAGE 128, Contributing Editor Dennis Rubin advises anyone who is seeking a leadership position in the fire service to "Be a Lifelong Learner." As I mentioned last month, Firehouse* has partnered with retired Phoenix, AZ, Fire Chief Alan Brunacini to present the three-day "Fire Chief Leadership Retreat" this month at Firehouse Expo, in cooperation with Columbia Southern University. About a year ago, the Brunacini Leadership Institute was established by the university's president, Robert Mays Jr., to focus on developing and improving fire-rescue leadership at all levels. If you're interested in becoming a fire chief or taking on more responsibility within your organization, you will want a seat at this presentation.

With this outdoor fireplace you can cook marshmallows at night or even cook some hot dogs as if you are at camp over again. If a fireplace is not for you then you can always opt for a fire pit - which will commonly sit in the heart of the patio.
