Show Notes: Legal Answers, Dehumidifiers and more

By on August 9, 2014
Legal Challenges in Home Renovations

This week’s show was a a little bit of every thing,   humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and car emergency kits. Thank you Ron and Paul Rives, for joining James and Morris today with your Legal Tool chest full of answers for our listeners.

Do You Need A Dehumidifier?

A little humidity is OK, too much may cause big problems

 For health reasons, it’s important to maintain a proper humidity level in your home.

Here are a few signs that you need a

Window and Patio Door Condensation

Mold Spots on Ceiling or in Corners of Walls

Musty Smell or Odor

Recurring Spring Water Run-Off Dampness

Buying a Home? Inpect for Mold, Water Stain Marks

A dehumidifier will effectively remove the moisture from the home and restore proper indoor levels.  Remember to rotate the dehumidifier through all the areas affected by excess humidity.

 

Do You Need A Humidifier?

Here are common signs that your home needs more moisture. This is especially true during the winter season when home heating systems tend to dry out the air and cause some uncomfortable conditions.

Dry, chapped lips

Dry eyes; dry skin

Cough, sore throat

Dry, cracking furniture

Wooden musical instruments are cracking

Static electricity

Humidifiers can also be beneficial to those with asthma and allergies

Wooden chair rungs are loose and popping out

These generally are common signs that your home needs more moisture. This is especially true during the winter season when home heating systems tend to dry out the air and cause some uncomfortable conditions such as dry, chapped lips.

To remedy the situation, you’ll need to have some idea of how much moisture to add – that’s where a hygrometer becomes essential, to avoid over-humidifying your home, which can cause other problems.

 

Are You Prepared For A Car Emergency?

 Tools to keep on hand so you are ready for anything:

Aerosol tire inflator

Plug a small hole or a leak long enough to get to a garage. (Be sure the product doesn’t contain flammable gases, such as butane, propane, and isobutene.)

Car-battery charger

Forget the hassle of jumper cables. Get a jump-start with a compact charger that renews your battery via the car’s cigarette lighter.



Duct tape

After an accident, use the reinforced tape to patch things together temporarily.

Empty gas can

When filled, a one-gallon jug will hold enough to get you to a service station, without being burdensome to lug back to your car.


Fire extinguisher

You know how scary car fires can be if you’ve ever seen flames shooting from under your hood.

First-aid kit

Stow a kit in an easily accessible space to treat cuts, burns, and traffic headaches.

Flashlight

Crucial for after-dark roadside repairs, emergency signaling, and, of course, old-school map reading.


Reflecting triangles

When your car breaks down or you pull over for a repair, make yourself visible—and warn off other drivers—with emergency reflective triangles.



Scraper

If you live in an area where cold weather brings ice and snow, choose a scraper that can tackle both.

Tow rope

In case you need a hitch—or want to give one.

Thank you Real Simple for this great information.
