Solar Eclipse Block Party

Image
7/28/17 We are partnering with HIS RADIO to host a Solar Eclipse Block Party in our parking lot on Monday August 21st 12:30PM - 3:30PM.  We will have food vendors and games to play up until the eclipse and will also be giving away free glasses to the first 500 people + it’s free to come. The moon will completely cover the sun at exactly 2:38PM and will last for 2 minutes and 40 seconds.  A Total Solar Eclipse  won’t happen again in the Upstate of SC until 2078 . Come join us at 17 Roper Mountain Road, Greenville!!! Eclipse-watchers must wear eclipse glasses because the Sun’s UV radiation can very seriously cause permanent injury to the retinas. 

French Door Refrigerators. Why such a big deal?

7/14/17 So we know that the bold, industrial look of the French Door refrigerator is all the rage these days.  New homeowners and renovators 9 out of 10 times will buy a French Door refrigerator rather than a top mount freezer or side by side.  Why?  Because they provide convenience, energy savings and design appeal.  Courtesy of Electrolux The modern day models hit the marketplace back in the late 1990s but the original versions with refrigerator on top and freezer on bottom were actually around a long time before that.  Jeff Lynch Appliance and TV Center store owner and President Mark Lynch sold the early models of French Door refrigerators when he was 15 years old, working with his dad Jeff Lynch.  Obviously they were appealing and that is why appliance manufacturers brought them back to the market.

7/11/17 Safety is the most important concern when it comes to our home and our family.  One of the last tasks we do at night is make sure the doors are locked and the stove is turned off. It’s also nice to know that when we snuggle into our bed we are sleeping on a safe mattress. Each year house fires claim the lives of 4,000 people.  Many of those fires start in the bedroom or on a mattress.  According to Firelink, each year  600 people die from fires that started in the bedroom.   Firelink   offers important safety facts and tips worth your time to read here . In the summer of 2007 the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission enacted federal regulations requiring new, enhanced safety standards for mattresses and box springs made in the US or imported to the US.   These laws required new mattress flammability standards mandating flame retardant factors so that bedroom fires don’t spread so fast – giving us more time to get out of the house.
