Please allow me to explain how I can benefit you and your clients.   FIRST OF ALL, I AM VERY WELL AWARE OF THE HARD WORK AND TIME YOU HAVE TO PUT INTO EACH AND EVERY POTENTIAL SALE.

The amount of junk mail being delivered to my condo has become so excessive and irritating that I have now claimed junk mailers to be a sworn enemy. My mailbox is nearly crammed solid every single day with gobs and gobs of marketing junk. I don't even browse through the enormous amount of junk but should I ever happen to see a companies name listed within it, I promise to not ever use that company again. I am declaring war on junk mailers. I am in search of weapons or ideas to help launch an attack. If anybody has any ideas or suggestions than please feel free to comment.. If anybody is sending junk mail to South Ogden, Utah, PLEASE give us a break!     12/08/2011

 The most common defect found during Ogden, Utah Home Inspections   The lack of DOWNSPOUT EXTENSIONS. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. Most home owners pay little attention to their downspouts. The majority of Ogden, Utah homes lack any form of downspout extensions at all which basically defeats the entire point of having gutters.   Many home owners assume that since they have new gutters or nice gutters that their downspout extensions are sufficient. Such assumptions are wrong. Downspout extensions aren't usually provided by the gutter installation company because anything past the lower 45 degree angle is considered landscaping.   Not having downspout extensions can often cause more damage than if the home had no gutters at all. The whole purpose of gutters is to direct the wat... 11/11/2011
