Occasionally in his research Wishbone comes across an article that really really upsets him, for example, an article titled 'Balls Are Not Always a Safe Toy For Your Dog' pretty much put him out of commission for days. Never ever joke about taking his toys away, especially balls.

Balls ARE safe for dogs with some simple safety practices. The reason some people and trainers recommend against tennis balls is because dogs have strong jaws that are capable of compressing a tennis ball and if a compressed ball pops open in the back of the throat, it can cut off a dog's air supply. It can happen. It has happened. Do not allow your dog to use them as a chew toy unsupervised. Use common sense and some simple safety precautions and you and your dog can play all day long if you want to!

Have only one ball in play at a time to minimize the risk that your dog will pick up more than one and get the furthermost ball lodged back in the throat.
Rubber balls, if not big enough, can get slimy when wet and lodge in the back of the dog's throat or jaws.
Balls with holes in them can catch their tongues if the holes are too big.
Balls with slippery outer coatings such as racquet balls or golf balls can be an especially potent choking hazard.
Golf balls poise an additional danger because the liquid inside is often toxic; your dog can become very sick if he or she manages to pierce the outer coating with her teeth.
Soccer balls are great, but if your dog rips the outer layer off, inside is a wad of string that if swallowed can be fatal. Use caution with any toy a dog is playing with. Always supervise, don't leave them alone with toys.

Did you know that trees that are properly pruned live longer and retain a pleasing, natural appearance? That's exactly why Jim contacted Davey Tree and had them do a bit of pruning on the trees at his house. Not only will your trees live longer and look nice but pruning also encourages air circulation which reduces disease incidence and the possibility of damage from high winds. Possibility of high winds? Seems like that's a daily occurance lately! Tree trimming removes unhealthy or dangerous limbs that can easily fail in severe weather. With the unpredictable weather we've been having in Western New York lately it's a good idea to have Davey Tree trim the trees in your yard!!

Not only is tree trimming important for the reasons we've already mentioned but it's also an amazing thing to see! Take a look at the pictures of DAVEY TREE trimming the trees at Jim's house. (You can click on any picture to enlarge it for a better look!)

We all have projects that need painting,,we may even enjoy painting,,,we may not want to have that 'enjoyment',,we would rather have a professional have that enjoyment!

I know I did! After doing my winter project of installing beautiful premium pine boards in our upstairs hallway and bedroom, I did NOT want to do the polyurethane job! 'Ran out of time' and 'don't have time' are pretty good excuses!

So I contacted Whelehan Painting! I met with Patrick Whelehan and went over the job, then I figured, hey as long as they're here,,,how about painting some exterior doors? So they did all the time-consuming prep work; cleaning, sanding, priming, then put on a nice coat of durable long-lasting paint. The doors look brand new!

And the sealing of the pine boards brought out the beauty of the wood even more, and I know it'll look perfect for years. Thanks to Whelehan Painting for doing the job right! And efficiently, in and out in LESS THAN 2 days!

So why not enjoy the spring barbequeing, gardening, partying instead of painting!

Whelehan Painting does decks, too, and mine is needing major tending to, hmmmm.

They also provide these services:
Staining
Powerwashing
Deck Refinishing
Wallpaper Removal

The following three pictures are of the doors at our home. LOVE the color!

April Holidays are few and far between, don't pack your suitcases or call the airline agency this month because April is void of paid holidays. Still, there are a couple of holidays worth mentioning, the two known holidays (since we don't really want to dwell on holidays like National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day which is April 2nd or April 11th which is Barbershop Quartet Day) are April Fool's Day and Earth Day. One might argue that Earth Day was created because of Fools but these two days are technically unassociated.

The origin of April Fool's Day has never be factually established but there are theories. The most widely accepted theory (Nothing factually established to validate that claim either) is that in the 1500's New Years Day was celebrated on April 1st according to the Julian calendar but when the switch was made to the Gregorian calendar New Years Day was moved to January 1st. Here's the April Fool's part... some forgot and celebrated New Years Day on April 1st...which apparently made them fools...there's more... subsequently people began dropping in on neighbors on April 1st to trick them into thinking it was New Years Day...(which ones were the fools?) and thus began the tradition of trying to trick people on April 1st. Fact or Fiction? No one knows.

Earth Day does have factual origins, it was founded by Gaylord Nelson a (then) U.S. Senator. In 1969, at the time of the anti-Vietnam War demonstrations, Nelson was inspired by the grassroots protests and decided that was the way to force the environmental issue into a political agenda. He announced that in 1970 there would be a nationwide grassroots demonstration on behalf of the environment and invited everyone to participate, and twenty million people did, along with schools, communities and organizations, and Earth Day was created.

So here's the thing, you have no days off this month so you might as well pick a holiday to participate in or April will seem much longer than it's thirty days. Which will it be? Visit your neighbors and try to convince them it's New Years Day or do something to participate in or bring awareness to Earth Day?

Are you asking how? What? What can YOU do for Earth Day? Fortunately we have WISHBONE A.K.A. GREEN DOG who is full of advice (among other things).

Container trees can be stored for a brief period of time after purchase as long as the soil in the container is kept moist and the tree stored in a shady spot. Trees should be transplanted no deeper than the soil in which they were originally grown. The width of the hole should be at least 3 times the diameter of the root ball or container. When digging the hole raise the center of the bottom slightly higher than the surrounding area to allow water to disperse. Balled and burlapped should always be lifted by the ball, never by the trunk. For Bare-Rooted Trees make sure that the roots are kept moist between purchase and planting and prune any broken or damaged roots.

Let's talk Metal Roofing. Actually let's let Ryan Morse talk Metal Roofing since he is Rochester’s Pro Nailer and the owner of The Metal Roof Outlet (and if you've been paying any attention at all to our articles you already know we think The Metal Roof Outlet is THE ONLY place to go for metal roofing).

While this letter can be found on themetalroofoutlet.com we wanted to bring it to your attention by including it in this newsletter. The Metal Roof Outlet website is full of great information and links. This letter is just one of the many many educational and informative articles, and as we all know, an informed shopper is a wise shopper.

Jim has continued to be hard at work with the project of transforming the upstairs hallway and bedroom of his 150 year old home. Thanks to Matthews & Fields and their fine wood products the restoration is just incredible!

The Previous Article and First Set of Images...

Jim is about 150 years old...oh, typographical error...Jim's HOUSE is about 150 years old but thanks to Matthews & Fields fine wood products there is an amazing facelift going on... Matthews & Fields 1 x 6 tongue and groove premium pine, there is no need to say more, but we will. In an "older" house like this there is often dented plaster, wood lathe, you know the problems, but what an amazing transformation in Jim's house and if you have some of the same issues we HIGHLY recommend Matthews & Fields lumber for a FINE LOOKING updated beautiful wood finish.

Jim's latest project is remodeling his upstairs hallway and bedroom. He has always wanted to update that drywall and lathe walls. They've been painted over the years but everything in an old farm house is uneven and it's a challenge for sure! The walls and ceiling were completely out of whack. For example one end was off an inch to up to 3 inches at the other end! He had to get creative! All the existing doors had to be replaced, and new ones cut to fit. None were regulation sizes. A nightmare!

Plus allowances had to be made for new carpeting. (The old carpet is going to be ripped out soon)

So he ordered these beautiful pine t&g boards from Matthews & Fields:



What a transformation! Matthews & Fields is THE lumber company to get an assortment of what you need for your remodeling projects! They have the beautiful pine boards like Jim got, in standard or premium. So no matter what 'look' you're going for, they have the supplies you need or they can order it!

EPA FREQUENT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING MOLD

Can mold cause health problems?
Molds are usually not a problem indoors, unless mold spores land on a wet or damp spot and begin growing. Molds have the potential to cause health problems. Molds produce allergens (substances that can cause allergic reactions), irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Inhaling or touching mold or mold spores may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Allergic responses include hay fever-type symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash (dermatitis). Allergic reactions to mold are common. They can be immediate or delayed. Molds can also cause asthma attacks in people with asthma who are allergic to mold. In addition, mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people. Symptoms other than the allergic and irritant types are not commonly reported as a result of inhaling mold. Research on mold and health effects is ongoing. For more detailed information consult a health professional. You may also wish to consult your state or local health department.

How can I tell if I have a mold problem?
Molds are usually not a problem indoors, unless mold spores land on a wet or damp spot and begin growing. Molds are part of the natural environment. Outdoors, molds play a part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees, but indoors, mold growth should be avoided. Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores; the spores are invisible to the naked eye and float through outdoor and indoor air. Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet. There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture.

How do I get rid of mold?
It is impossible to get rid of all mold and mold spores indoors; some mold spores will be found floating through the air and in house dust. The mold spores will not grow if moisture is not present. Indoor mold growth can and should be prevented or controlled by controlling moisture indoors. If there is mold growth in your home, you must clean up the mold and fix the water problem. If you clean up the mold, but don't fix the water problem, then, most likely, the mold problem will come back.

For more questions and answers visit
EPA Frequently asked questions regarding mold and moisture

Moisture and Mold Prevention and Control Tips From the EPA

• When water leaks or spills occur indoors - ACT QUICKLY. If wet or damp materials or areas are dried 24-48 hours after a leak or spill happens, in most cases mold will not grow.
• Clean and repair roof gutters regularly.
• Make sure the ground slopes away from the building foundation, so that water does not enter or collect around the foundation.
• Keep air conditioning drip pans clean and the drain lines unobstructed and flowing properly.
• Keep indoor humidity low. If possible, keep indoor humidity below 60 percent (ideally between 30 and 50 percent) relative humidity. Relative humidity can be measured with a moisture or humidity meter, a small, inexpensive ($10-$50) instrument available at many hardware stores.
• If you see condensation or moisture collecting on windows, walls or pipes ACT QUICKLY to dry the wet surface and reduce the moisture/water source. Condensation can be a sign of high humidity.

Actions that will help to reduce humidity

• Vent appliances that produce moisture, such as clothes dryers, stoves, and kerosene heaters to the outside where possible. (Combustion appliances such as stoves and kerosene heaters produce water vapor and will increase the humidity unless vented to the outside.)
• Use air conditioners and/or de-humidifiers when needed.
• Run the bathroom fan or open the window when showering. Use exhaust fans or open windows whenever cooking, running the dishwasher or dishwashing, etc.

Actions that will help prevent condensation

• Increase ventilation or air movement by opening doors and/or windows, when practical. Use fans as needed.
• Cover cold surfaces, such as cold water pipes, with insulation.
• Increase air temperature.

Spring Cleaning. Why do we do it? (Or do we?!) Whether we put ourselves through the agonizing but revitalizing ritual of spring cleaning or not we need someone to blame. So who do we blame for this annual practice that we dread, then grudgingly do, then bask in the appreciation of what we've done? Or, to put it another way so as not to leave anyone out...who do we blame for the impending pressure of completing the expected spring cleaning ritual that we know we will not do, say we do not need to do or do not care about, and eventually sing praises that the window of opportunity for spring cleaning has passed with the official first day of summer. Who's to blame?

First let's blame ourselves, partially because we always do anyway but also because there is a simple biology fact that may have something to do with it. During winter we are exposed to less sunlight and as we know, we often feel dreary and dare we say sometimes even lazy. Well, there's a reason: With a lack of exposure to light, the pineal gland produces melatonin - a hormone that produces sleepiness in humans. So, bottom line, we are too tired to clean in the winter! We are in a long melatonin-induced stupor. We can blame ourselves but really it's not our fault, it's the sun's fault, or the earth's fault, or our body's fault. And then, when spring comes and we absorb more sunlight and we produce less melatonin we SEE what our houses look like and with a burst of sunlight induced energy we clean...we spring clean.

OR... According to wikipedia...

Theory 1: the origins of spring cleaning date back to the Iranian Norouz, the Persian new year, which falls on the first day of spring. Iranians continue the practice of "khooneh tekouni" which literally means "shaking the house" just before the new year.
Theory 2: the originas of spring cleaining can be traced to the ancient Jewish practice of thoroughly cleansing the home in anticipation of the spring-time memorial feast of Passover.

Personally we like the Chinese culture and thought as to Spring Cleaning, (wikipedia failed to mention this one but we found it on the TLC website).

The Chinese sweep their floors and clean their homes to rid of bad luck and misfortune that may have accumulated during the previous year. Once the house is a clean slate, the Chinese welcome good fortune by observing a prohibition against sweeping for the few days following the new year in order to prevent sweeping away any good fortune that came with the turn of the year.

Whatever your reason, whatever your practice, whoever you blame...it's spring and we're supposed to clean!

On that note...

"You need to avoid the trap of buying a car that is going to last for 3 years but you are going to be financing for 5 in order to get the payment you want. It happens all of the time. I had a customer in the door a few years ago that was the worst case I ever saw. The customer had a vehicle he bought somewhere else one year previous with 90,000 miles on it. He financed it for 5 years. When I met him and his nice young family the vehicle had 108,000 miles on it and a blown engine. He could not afford to replace the engine but he owed so much money on the vehicle that he could not sell it either. He admitted that he was only looking at a payment when he bought it and fell into a big trap. There is nothing I could do to help him.

So what do you do? How about looking at NEW instead? YES it might make sense."

Jim Salmon.com is proud to call Genesee Valley Motors THE OFFICIAL TRUCK DEALER OF THE HOME REPAIR CLINIC. We already know that the advice passed along by Dom Genova is solid sound advice. That's why we want to introduce you to Dom.

"My name is Dom Genova, owner of Genesee Valley Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Genesee Valley Ford in beautiful downtown Avon NY. For those of you who don’t know where Avon is, it’s about 15 minutes by Expressway south of Rochester, NY. I have worked in the car business a long time, seventeen years working on the manufacturing side for Chrysler, and then 18 years so far, owning my own dealerships. My first dealership was my Chrysler Dodge Jeep which I established in 1994 and in 2005; I built my FORD dealership completing a lineup of the best vehicles made in America. If you have any questions about something funny in a car deal, I would be happy to help you, post them and I will reply with a blog which will help others or I will contact you myself."

One of the things that makes our home 'our home' is the landscape that we are so used to. We know where and what every tree is. We glance out our windows and the trees are part of 'our home'. We drive in our driveways and the trees are part of 'our home'. Maybe the kids have climbed them, carved their initials in them, maybe the ancestors planted them, whatever the history is with your trees they are as much a part of your home as the plumbing in your house or the shingles on your roof. Your home is not just the structure and what's within the walls, your home is everything you see, looking in or looking out. That's why we recommend that you give your trees ample attention and care, and that's why we recommend DAVEY TREE.
