Cool Off By Clearing the Clutter In Your Albany Home

There is a long list of preventable deaths and illness that we should always be paying attention to. One of those preventable illnesses is heat exposure. During the summer extreme exposure to heat can get a lot of folks in trouble. According to the Centers of Disease Control, between 1979 and 2003 over 8,000 citizens died from excessive heat exposure. That’s more deaths then from hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes combined. In 2001 alone there were 300 deaths that were attributed to excessive heat exposure.

Most of these deaths could have been avoided with just some simple precautions. You might not think you’re at risk but someone you know could be that’s why you need to be aware of your surroundings and what your body is trying to tell you when the temperature rises. You should also be sharing this information with those who are most vulnerable which would be the very young or the very old.

To protect yourself you should be drinking plenty of fluids especially water. Don’t wait until you realize you’re thirsty. By then you’re already dehydrated. Keeping a pitcher or jug of water handy is the best option to avoid the thirst. If you’re continuing with your exercise regime then you should increase your water intake when the thermometer rises. What you should avoid are drinks with alcohol or sugar because these actually cause your body to lose more fluid. Also note that extremely cold drinks could result in stomach cramps if gulped down in hot weather.

Your best bet is to get somewhere that has the AC blasting. Places like malls, libraries and movie theatres are great escapes when the sun gets high in the sky and the heat blazes. Taking refuge in those places could also be a great relief to your electric bills. Why crank your AC when you can go somewhere that cranks it for you?

When you get back home you’ll want to make sure you’ve got a good air circulation going. The best air conditioner in the world won’t amount to much if that cool air has to fight its way around your home or apartment. It might seem like all you have to do is pop the AC in a window and turn it on but direction and flow are key issues to get the most out of your AC. To insure you’ve got good air flow you should strip away the clutter out of your home. That’s where Junk King Capital District can lend a hand.

Home Downsizing Tips in Albany

When you consider the shaky economy it only makes sense to consider downsizing as a viable option to prepare for the future. Whether you’re approaching retirement age or starting out in a new relationship, it makes sense to downsize. The overriding benefit will be in savings. A smaller living space is just more efficient and cost effective. If you’re ready to take the downsizing plunge you’re first going to have to sort through your stuff. That means get the stickers ready!

As you move through your home you can carry with you rolls of three sticker colors. The categories you’ll be focusing on are:

  • Keep
  • Give
  • Toss

Obviously the “Keep” stickers will go on those items you intend on taking with you. Remember you’re downsizing so it’s time to let go of things. Obviously, you’ll want to hang onto to those precious keepsakes and memorabilia but you don’t need to keep a set of golf clubs you bought at yard sale ten years ago and never used!

The “Give” stickers would be for all of those things you want to either pass onto other family members or friends or donate. Typically, this would be the sticker for a lot of clothes and shoes you’ve outgrown or never even worn. Yes, it’s finally time to tackle your overstuffed closets. Your new downsized home or apartment will have less closet space which means you only want to pack the essentials.

As for the “Toss” stickers those will go on everything else. It might turn out that your “Toss” pile is the biggest pile of all! To help get rid of that stuff you should call upon the Junk King Capital District. Junk King is the Albany business that focuses on all kinds of junk removal. Think of them as your downsizing partner.

Before moving to your new space you’ll need to take some decent measurements to see what pieces of your furniture will fit. For everything else, Junk King can haul away. Sure, you might have a dining room table or chairs to pass on to a family member but often the furniture we don’t want to take with us shouldn’t be passed on to anyone! That’s because it’s worn out, stained or busted. It’s better to let Junk King handle that.

Junk King can also take care of all those things you definitely wouldn’t be able to take to a new space like patio furniture, home gym equipment or any other bulk item that you won’t be able to cram into a trashcan. That last thing you want is to take that stuff with you. Downsizing is all about starting with a clean slate and that’s exactly what Junk King Capital District can help you accomplish.
