Why I Choose A Wood Swing Set
Swing sets can be made of a number of different materials, but a wood swing set is clearly the best.

Plastic swing sets may cost less, but lose their beauty and even crack as they sit around in the yard year after year. Rusting, denting or bowing are common problems with metal swings sets, although metal will tend to last a long time. Wood on the other hand may splinter or rot. But if you buy your swing set with the right kind of treated wood, then those problems are infrequent if they occur at all. And wood has one additional major advantage. No other swing set will look as exquisite in your backyard. A wood swing set is more than a toy, it is a fantastic part of your landscaping.

What else do we like about wood? In virtually all cases you can install this swing set easily. Most come pre-boxed and ready to set up. All it takes is a few tools you in all likelihood have around the house. Everything else is already pre-drilled and fitted. There are even sets that can be customized for surfaces that are not level. And you don't have to start out with a large set. Most are expandable so you can add to them every year.

And if you are wondering what kind of wood to get, we think treated Cedar swing sets are the best pick.

Vinyl Storage buildings - The Smart Pick

Vinyl storage sheds are just 1 of many storage building options. However for most people, we think it is the best choice.

The number one priority of any storage building should be to keep your items secure. After all, you spent a lot of money on your tools and different items, and the last thing you need to see is those items get hurt because of the weather. You need a shed that will endure whatever the weather throws at it. You do not want one that will leak or mold which will only lead to costly damage.

Vinyl is the ideal solution. And these sheds can be large enough to store wide items. True they once were only constructed in smaller sizes, but things have changed. There are sheds large enough to store items of nearly any size. If you want one over thirty feet wide, you can purchase it. Naturally if you need a smaller eight footer you can purchase that as well. But what makes vinyl stand out is the way it stands up in even the worst weather. Unlike metal, vinyl won't chip, rust or dent. It won't deteriorate or decompose like wood. And generally speaking, they are easy to install. It in all probability won't take more than an afternoon if you engage the assistance of a friend. Offer him a cold drink and maybe grill a few burgers and you are on your way. No need to hire a professional.

Upkeep is minimal as well. You'll just want to keep it looking nice by washing it down occasionally. Painting is not required like it is with wood. And there are a variety of colors available too, so your building will match your yard decor, look great, and keep looking fantastic for many years.

No matter what they are made of, outdoor storage buildings are simply a must have item for any home. You may even be able to get your car in the garage again.

Easily Apply Your Makeup With Lighted Makeup Mirrors

When you put on makeup you need to see as other people will see. Lighted makeup mirrors permit you to do precisely that by using artificial light that looks like natural sunshine.

That's wonderful for all day, but what about the night. Some mirrors have this addressed too by presenting you the alternative of imitating night lighting also. In either case, you'll be obtaining a proper look at how others will see you no matter what the social occasion.

There are many reasons why you'll want to use a lighted makeup mirror. For starters, you see everything on your face extremely clear. No more embarassing moments should you happen to miss an area with your blush. You'll notice immediately. Small blemishes or stray hairs will be easily discovered too. Plus if you get magnification, it is even simpler to see everything. No need to put makeup on around your spectacles if you wear them.

The kind of illumination you get is up to you. There are various different selections. The lights may surround the edge of the mirror (halo lighting), be located down the two sides or across the top and bottom (side-lighting), or possess a central hidden source (spot-lighting). Another handy feature is the swivel hinge so you can move the mirrors to the position you want. And of course magnification, which you almost certainly will require. The enlargement is normally about 4X to 5X, but can be purchased in smaller and higher levels, all the way from 1X to 10X.

And for the woman on the go, a lighted travel mirror is just as important as your mirror at home.
