For me, the worst part of going anywhere in the winter is that I despise getting into a cold car. Both Alex and Libby are lucky enough to have remote start on their vehicles. Sadly, my 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan does not have remote start. Needless to say….I don’t go out much when it is really cold outside.
I may not have remote start now, but it is on my wish list. Since this will be my vehicle for a few years still, I hope to have it installed before next winter!
Performance Dodge Ram of Woodbury has a great service special to get a remote start installed in your vehicle starting at just $499! Get yours and remain warm the rest of winter an keep cool all summer long!

While bare windows are gorgeous when the view and architecture is lovely, many rooms can still benefit from the right kinds of window coverings. In fact, the right blinds can:
When installed properly, window blinds allow you to effortlessly adjust how much natural light enters a room to suit your needs. With other window dressings, you might be limited to how much light can enter the rooms and you may struggle to adjust the direction and amount of light as easily as you can with blinds.
Blinds Offer Complete Privacy
Blinds provide an excellent level of privacy that you just won’t get with other kinds of window coverings, like shades and curtains. What’s more, when they are closed, blinds do not offer any lines of sight into your house, which means you can sit back and relax, enjoying your time without worrying about peering or nosy neighbours. If you still want to take advantage of natural light during the daytime, and a good sense of privacy, you could consider top-down shades that you can lower from the top downwards to allow light in while enjoying utter privacy.
Loads Of Different Styles
Window blinds in the UK at Made to Measure Blinds come in an almost endless array of styles, patterns, and colours. Such a vast selection makes it easy to create the ideal look in any room in your home. Whatever you do choose, you want to pick something that’s going to last. Remember, the blinds you pick are going to be around for a while, so you want them to look good. Don’t just pick a “that will do” colour, pick blinds that make the right statement in the right room. For instance, bright, rich cherry wood blinds or genuine oak blinds go well with natural furniture and flooring.
A True Fit
You don’t have to try and guess or measure yourself. The blinds experts will cut the blinds to fit your windows perfectly. So, you get the look you’ve always dreamed of and the light control and privacy you deserve.
Energy Saving
Installing quality blinds means you can actually have a positive affect on your home’s energy costs. A lot of heat is lost through the windows in a house. That means that the heat from outside may seep into your house when you’d prefer the indoors to be cool and comfortable. But, you can work to combat this while saving on your monthly utility expenses when you pick well-fitted, made-to-last blinds. Spending a little more on your window coverings actually saves you money in the long run.

The traditional summer house is making a comeback, with stylish and elegant units that come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and what’s more, they are of modular construction. There are many online suppliers of timber outbuildings, and it is not a good idea to make a rushed decision on which company to buy from, and with that in mind, here are a few factors to consider before making a decision on which summer house is right for your home.
The Right Timber – Timber is timber, right? Actually, while there are many species of tree -about 60,000 at the last count – not all are suitable for a log cabin. Ideally, you want a timber that originates from Scandinavia, as the trees grow very slowly, and this ensures a very dense wood, making it ideal for a summer house. Nordic timber is a popular choice, but there are other types that are much cheaper, so beware of any online company that offers summer houses at very low prices, as they would likely use sub-standard timber, and you wouldn’t be aware until a few months have passed.
Think About your Reasons for Buying – This is important, as it will help to determine which is the right design. It could be that you are launching a new business and there simply isn’t a suitable room in the house for an office, or you might want a place for the family to enjoy the long summer days, or perhaps a cosy room for overnight guests. By defining your intended use, you are in a much better position to make an informed decision, and with 40 or more designs available, it is essential to look for one that fulfils your needs.
Use an Established Supplier – While it is a good idea to search online for potential suppliers, sooner or later you should actually visit their showroom area, where they would have many units already erected in an outdoor environment. When you think about it, you would not buy a car before having a test drive, and neither should you purchase a summer house if you haven’t inspected a fully erected example. Besides, there are online traders who have wonderful websites, with high resolution images and even video, but at the end of the day, how do you know that the delivered unit is the same as the one advertised on their website? Refer to an informative guide online on how to identify fake suppliers on the Internet, which could help you immensely by avoiding a costly mistake.
Long Product Warranty – Any summer house will look great when first erected, but what about after a few years of being exposed to the harsh winter? Ideally, you want a 10-year unconditional warranty, which automatically gives you peace of mind. Only an established company could make such a bold claim, and this is very much a quality benchmark for a potential buyer.
Once you have found an established supplier online, spend a little time browsing their catalogue, noting the names of units you are interested in, and then a visit to their outdoor show facility will help you to make the right choice.
