Kansas City Treadmill and Exercise Machine Disposal

Joining a gym isn’t just about running on a treadmill; you can also get the kind of specialized training that will take your exercise program to a whole other level. A new exercise facility is opening up in Emporia that is going to be managed by professional Mix Martial Arts fighter Daniel Gallemore. Members will have an amazing opportunity to train alongside Gallemore and get into shape like never before.

“Hoping for a high-intensity gym,” Gallemore told a local newspaper. “Mostly fighters, like self-defense and jujitsu. We do quite a bit of wrestling. Muay Thai, probably bring some boxing guys in. Do some seminars and stuff. It will mostly be like a combative gym, mixed martial arts gym. It won’t be just for fighters, but it will be geared around mixed martial arts.”

That space that Gallemore is setting up in his used to be a salon storage area. That has required some serious modifications. “It used to be a salon,” Gallemore said. “There were sinks and counter tops and plumbing and lighting and speaker wires and all kinds of stuff up there along with the stuff that was in storage. It was very organized. We had to go through and demo everything and reorganize a lot of stuff. Dusty’s brother went up there and painted the walls. We’ve got to put tin on the ceiling now. We even had to tear some Styrofoam clouds off the ceiling that they had up there for decoration. We still have some wiring to do. Got to move some more stuff out of storage to downstairs and tidy some things up.” Are you ready to step into the ring?

This is just a snapshot of one of the many gyms operating in the Kansas City area and it’s a perfect example of the number one benefit you get from joining a gym: personal attention. Even if you don’t have a trainer working with you there is still the opportunity to take all kinds of classes at the gym. If you have an occasional question about an exercise or piece of equipment those trainers will be happy to answer that. You’re not going to get that kind of attention in your home gym set up.

Time to get real: Do you have a treadmill in your home? Some dumbbells? One of those crazy all-in-one gym workout stations? If so when was the last time you used any of that? Yes, the intention was to make it easy to workout because it’s right in the next room but the reality is that you might not be getting the workout you truly need especially if you have limited space. Embrace that fact that that unused gym equipment is now officially junk. Now you’re choice is simple: call up Junk King Kansas City to get rid of it all! They’ll take it away and you can get serious about your workout by joining a gym. Who knows what you can transform into?

Kansas City Air Conditioner Disposal

It’s been a real scorcher this summer. In fact, it’s the hottest summer (so far) since they’ve been keeping records. With the rising temperatures will come an increase in air conditioning use. If you’re “power driving” your AC you might discover that it’s not performing as it should be. The fault might be in the age of that unit. Like any other type of appliance, an AC that is running 24/7 is simply going to wear down. If you’re considering buying a new model you might want to consider these helpful shopping tips:

Is this the right time to buy an AC? Actually, we’re at the peak of the summer where air conditioners are fetching a premium price. If you can hold out for a couple more weeks you might find a better bargain as retailers are looking to clear out the showrooms of their “summer stuff.” That’s when the discounts will really kick in. But if your AC is on the fritz, you might not have a choice to wait.

If you’re replacing a particular type of AC unit then it is easy to decide which type to buy. However, you might take a moment to consider all your options. For instance, many homeowners without central air have window units but there are also portable units that can be moved from room to room. This is a decent option when you want to conserve energy and save on your electric bills. Why cool off the whole house when you’re just using two rooms?

You’ll also want to check out all the improvements in AC design such as adjustable thermostats, variable cooling and fan speeds. Some units have an energy efficient setting that will shut down the fan when the unit has achieved its desired cooling temperature. Your new AC should also have an adjustable vent which will allow you to direct the cool air and an easy to remove filer for hassle free cleaning.

Make sure your new AC will be EnergyStar rated. That will guarantee the unit will be operating at peak efficiency which will translate into energy savings for you. The higher the number of cooling capacity or BTUs the more powerful the unit will be but think about room size. For a 150 square feet room you really only need around 5,000 BTU/Hour unit.

After factoring in all those “factors” you’ll be ready to head off to the store to begin shopping in earnest but don’t forget about one of the most important factors and that would be getting rid of the old AC. You’re not going to be able to throw out your AC in the trash. Instead, call up Junk King KC and let them take away that AC to dispose of it properly. While they’re at it, Junk King can also make a clean sweep of your basement, garage or closet to cart away all kinds of junk you want to get rid of. You’ll find yourself cooling off a lot better in a house free of junk!

Junk Removal for Kansas City Realtors

There’s a big change heading Kansas City’s way and it could have a direct impact on the increasingly competitive real estate market. Google has selected Kansas City as a test town for its new and improved faster gigabit services. Google Fiber promises to deliver download speeds up to 100 times faster than what users are currently used to. What’s this got to do with real estate? Think about how fast a prospective buyer will be able to search through the listings? Home prices are beginning to tick up which means competition for listings are going to become fierce. You want to stay ahead of the curve by being out in front of as many of those listings as you can. They might mean a little out of the box thinking.

Just as home prices are seeing signs of life, the foreclosure market is stabilizing but there are still plenty of properties on this side of things which are every bit as viable as new home. What you need to do is steer a prospective customer away from the stigma of a “foreclosure” and closer to “dream house.” That can easily be accomplished when you enlist the services of Junk King KC.

We all know that some occupants of a foreclosed home stopped caring a long time before they finally moved out. Whatever the circumstances, they made the choice to give up their property. Once they crossed that line they really didn’t care what happened. In many cases, owners would literally toss the keys over their shoulders and leave the property abandoned. Sadly, some of these same properties have become squatter’s homes. When that happens, all kinds of nastiness can be occurring. Don’t freak out about what you might see when you first step into a foreclosed home. Instead, know an experience junk removal team will be standing by to strip that house bare of all garbage great and small.

Junk King Kansas City works great with realtors to get a property ready for the market once again. A call to Junk King sets the process in motion with a visit to the property by a supervisor. That supervisor will assess the amount of garbage to be removed and how much space it will take up on a truck. Based on that amount, you’ll be given a written estimate and that’s the price you pay. No hourly rates. That’s going to come in handy especially if this is a big removal job involving pulling up carpets or hauling furniture from a second story.

With the junk loaded on the back of the Junk King truck you can also be assured they’ll do everything possible to make sure it is recycled and reused. It’s a great selling point for your business and the junk business. Get your edge back with help from Junk King KC.

In other words they don’t have to go out of their way present a special bargain because every day is a bargain. One such business that operates under this bargain principle is Junk King Kansas City.

Junk King is part of a national franchise of junk specialists. Because they are part of a national franchise the way the decide on prices are dictated by headquarters.

Here’s how it works: when you’ve got junk you’re ready to remove give Junk King call and set up an appointment for a supervisor to come to your home and assess the junk pile. They’ll figure out how much space on the truck will be needed to haul away all that junk. Based on that will provide you with a written estimate. There are no hidden fees, no surprises and no extra charges. If it takes one hour or four hours for the Junk King crew to remove your stuff the price will remain the same. The only way that estimate will change is if what is loaded on the truck is actually less than what was figured out the first place. When that happens you’ll actually end up paying less.

Kansas City Grill Disposal and Recycling

Aside from the many official congregations, there is another type of religion in Kansas City and that would be barbeque. Kansas City is so serious about its style of BBQ that a couple of local enthusiasts started the Kansas City Barbeque Society with the simple mission “to celebrate, teach, preserve and promote barbeque as a culinary technique, sport and art form.” They accomplish this goal by not only sponsoring over 400 BBQ contests around the country each year but also by training and certifying the judges who will be charged with the daunting task of picking the best BBQ among dozens of entries.

What’s great about the KCBS is that they might be BBQ experts but they’re not BBQ snobs. They appreciate all varieties of barbeque styles including St. Louis, Texas, Memphis and Carolina. Of course, they’ll always have a soft spot for Kansas City BBQ. Anyone can become a member of the KCBS and as such will receive the monthly newsletter the Bullsheet and get discounts on sponsored events. To become a sanctioned KCBS judge you merely need to attend a half day class. It’s a safe bet this is one class that will be extremely tasty!

Of course, a barbeque society wouldn’t really be much of a society if it didn’t offer its members some inside tips on grilling, smoking and BBQ. With over 14,000 members you can count on some truly amazing recipes being made available all throughout the year.

Summer is really the premium BBQ season. It’s when most of the amateur chefs take the covers off their old grills and get them ready for some amazing dinners and cook-outs. There are some regular grillers who do a decent job of maintaining their grill all through the harsh winter months. However, most of us use our grills exclusively during the warmer months which means when it turns cold, the grill goes undercover. If this patterned has been repeated over the years then it’s a safe bet that grill has taken a beating. After joining the Kansa City Barbeque Society and getting a hold of all those exclusive recipes you don’t want to ruin them by cooking on a bad grill.

Buying a new grill is like buying a new car. You want to head out to the showroom to check out the latest models and check out what’s under the hood. Too bad you can’t bring in some ribs to really try out the grill. Before bringing you new “baby” home, you’ll have to get rid of the old clunker. That can be handled by hiring a crew of professional junk haulers at Junk King Kansas City. The old grill can’t be donated and can’t be left on the curb. It can only be picked up and carted off on the back of a truck. The good news is that same truck and also helps you get rid of any other junk you want tossed out. If you’re serious about your BBQ then get serious with your grill. Out with the old and in with the new!

Home Downsizing Tips in Kansas City

Moving from one home to another is a good time to take stock of everything you own. If you’ve decided that it’s time to downsize then this inventory is crucial. Many couples and families have decided that for the foreseeable future downsizing makes more sense. Living in a smaller, more manageable environment will help you save for retirement. On the other hand, if you’re ready for that retirement the last thing you want to deal with is upkeep in a huge home. To begin the downsizing process, you need to “thin out” your stuff.

This process should begin several months before you move. There should be no rush to get rid of your stuff. Keep in mind that you don’t want to bring anything with you that would be considered junk or clutter into your new home where storage space will be at a premium. You can begin with tackling a closet clean-up one weekend. The next weekend go for the basement and so on. As you make the rounds in your home you’ll quickly find you’ve got plenty to take with you that you can’t live without but there could be just as much (if not more) of stuff you can get rid of. Start making a pile.

Once you’ve got the closets and other storage areas cleared out of the small stuff, think about the big items. Will you need that extra mattress that nobody will sleep on because it’s so old? Will you need all that baby furniture that is busted up? Will you need all the sleds, toboggans or other winter equipment? If you’re moving to Florida you sure won’t! There are probably a lot of these types of belongings that can be toss into that pile.

Now move onto the really big stuff like appliances or old televisions or computers. You don’t want to bring that into the new home so into the pile. By now, that pile of yours could be looking rather huge. Have no fear. All you need to do is schedule an appointment with a team of professional junk haulers like Junk King Kansas City to show up with their huge empty truck. In a blink of the eye, that once empty truck will be filled with all your clutter and hauled away.

Remember that just because you’re not taking something with you doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be junked. You could try selling off some valuable antiques to a local dealer. Even if you put those on consignment it is better than having to drag them along. Some items you might want to donate to charity but make sure you’re not passing along anything that is useless. That belongs in the junk pile! Be sure also to ask your junk haulers where they’ll be taking your stuff. Hopefully, they’ll be able to dump a lot of that at some of the Kansas City recycling centers around town. And yes, that would qualify towards reducing your carbon footprint!

Kansas City Dirt Removal & Hauling

How does your Kansas City garden grow? For many that answer can be summed up in one word: mulch. The recent warm spell has many Kansas City residents to starting their lawn mowing regimens a lot earlier. This is also given them the opportunity to check out the state of affairs in their gardens and getting those areas ready planting season. When you are ready for that then you have to be ready for mulch.

“You don’t want to mulch too early. You want to give the soil a chance to warm up,” says Bryan Dunning, assistant store manager of the Lowe’s at 4811 N. Oak Trafficway in Gladstone to the Kansas City Star. “Normally, that may mean waiting until mid to late spring. But we’ve been pretty lucky with the temperatures this year, and you could probably mulch now.”

One of the major benefits of adding mulch to your plants is that it cuts down on the potential for weeds to take hold. It’s also a very attractive way frame your plants from a landscaping perspective. The most popular type of mulch is organic tree bark that has been processed through a wood chipper.

“The pros of the cypress and cedar is that it will add nutrients and will give back to the soil, and it aids in weed control,” Dunning said. “The drawback is that bugs and certain other pests like it. I wouldn’t recommend putting it close to the foundation of your home due to termite issues.”

“Acidic pine needles are a good choice if you have plants that thrive in that kind of soil,” says Sal Vaglica, assistant editor at This Old House. “Cocoa hulls are becoming popular because of the chocolaty scent they release as they break down and for the rich, uniform look they provide.”

If you want to avoid the potential of pests coming around all together then you should consider various sources of nonorganic mulch such as stone and marble chips. There is even a variety of rubberized mulch that is made from recycled rubber like the kind you would get from old scrap tires.

Beyond picking the best mulch for your garden you may also have to make way for some new planting areas. This holds true if you want to expand your garden to grow a variety of fresh herbs and vegetables. If you dig up all that dirt you need to find a way to get rid of it. You need look no further then Junk King Kansas City.
