What kind of eyesore item do you have in your backyard? Is it a hot tub, perhaps? In many cases, homeowners inherit an old hot tub. Unlike a sofa or a fridge, a hot tub is not something you can easily pack up and take with you to your next location. As a prospective home buyer, you might have seen the hot tub out back and thought it would be a perfect way to unwind after a hard day. The reality turned out that hot tub is out of date and broken down. Now it’s like one gigantic bird bath. In other words, an eyesore. If that is the case then you have two options: swap out the old model for a new model or get rid of it all together.
If you have the space already designated for a hot tub then you should give strong thought to the replacement option. Today’s hot tubs have made great improvements in the design of the seats, power jets and heating elements. These are more efficient models that deliver all the amazing benefits without a lot of maintenance hassle.
As to those amazing benefits there are plenty. Sure, the simple act of soaking in a hot water with soothing jets of pulsating pressure is all about relaxing but there’s a lot more going on. Dipping into a hot tub before heading to bed is going to help you fall asleep faster. Hot tub use has also been prescribed by doctors to help folks who suffer from chronic joint pain. It’s also been shown to help lower blood pressure and improve circulation. And you thought you were just going for a soak?
Now if you want to get rid of that old hot tub to make room for a bigger deck or garden you’re well within your rights but you’re still going to be stuck with the challenge of breaking it down and carting it off. That’s where Junk King Dallas can be a big help. Junk King is the local Dallas business who is all about junk removal. Clearly, getting rid of a hot tub is a two man operation (at least). There are many parts to dismantle not to mention the clunky inner shell. All of that can only fit on a big truck like the kind the Junk King crew drives. Keep in mind that you’ll only be paying for the amount of space your junk takes up in that truck. So if it takes a little longer to break down the hot tub you don’t have to watch the clock: you’re not paying the crew by the hour and you’re not paying them for travel time.
After the hot tub is removed, you’ll have the time to think about what to do with that space. Do yourself a favor: at least shop for a new hot tub just to see the options!
Nebraska is coming to Dallas. That would be the Nebraska Furniture Mart which just turned the shovel on construction of a Texas size 560,000 square foot showroom/warehouse at the Colony just outside of Dallas. Competition was fierce among various retail sites not only here in Texas but in Tennessee and Missouri as well but the Colony won out. This is the new shopping complex located along State Highway 121 that hopes to inject a serious boost into the local economy. With over 433 acres of retail space, there will be plenty of opportunities for other stores and restaurants to join in with the Nebraska Furniture Mart.
Ben Franklin once quipped that “the only things certain in life are death and taxes.” There should probably be an amendment to that adage to include junk because if anything is certain it’s that every single human being is going to create garbage & junk. From the food we eat, the clothes we wear and just about anything else that becomes disposable we’re going to leave a huge trail of garbage in our wake wherever we go. Here in Dallas, we create over 2 million tons of garbage every year. It would be great if we could push a button and make that garbage disappear but on many levels it is here to stay and where it stays is in one of the many landfills that dot the Dallas landscape. That doesn’t mean that folks aren’t thinking about what to do with all that garbage. In fact, there is a plan being put forth for Dallas to have zero-waste by the year 2040.
“Not in my backyard.” That’s the rallying cry that was heard from many residents of west Dallas when a new auto-parts salvage yard was proposed for a vacant lot over on Singleton Boulevard. The local residents had been working hard to turn their neighborhood around by leveling abandoned houses, cleaning weeds from lots and coming together to make this a decent neighborhood once again. There’s no getting around the fact that a junk yard is an eye sore. It will also be hard to attract other businesses that aren’t junk related to that area. The measure went to the City Council where they took the matter under review. This is a contentious issue that every community will face sooner or later: what to do with all our junk?
