I only recently learned about these pieces of equipment because of The Rope Guru.

For the specific application for use in electric utility, arboriculture, heavy lift crane use, construction and marine uses all across New England. The reason this company puts so much into their mission statement because of the owner’s history.

The team at The Rope Guru is here for you, to make tools out of rope! Along with offering tools they know will make the overall job much easier. Tools like the Green Pin shackle. This specific tool is used all types of lifting and static systems as a removable link. These shackles are mostly used as a non permanent solution. The reason The Rope Guru recommend the Green Pin shackles to highly is their use. They are great for working with synthetic rope slings because they allow for a smooth surface.

Now I am no rope expert, but The Rope Guru’s are! If you’re interested in learning more about the types of ropes they have available. Or if you’re curious as to why the Green Pin shackles might be a better choice than something you’re currently using. You should definitely take a moment to call the experts at The Rope Guru.

Have you recently brought a dog into your family and are now looking for professional dog training and boarding? It can be overwhelming to browse online for a dog trainer only to be overwhelmed with all the different options. There are a number of dog trainers available, but each of them use their own way of training. It is important for you to take the time to learn about potential trainers, their trainings methods and if you agree with them. No matter what method or trainer you choose to go with for your furry family member. The method and trainer have to work for you and your family.

That’s why I was thrilled to learn about Fusion K9 and their professional dog training and boarding programs. There is a saying in the world of dog training, it is “we train the owner, not the dog”. Being a recently first time dog owner I have come to appreciate this statement more and more. It is our job as the owner/handler to learn the skills necessary to communicate what we want from our pets. Fusion K9 has a completely united and dedicated team of professionals that work with all dogs, ages and stages of life. If you’re in the Texas area it would benefit you to check out and learn more about Fusion K9.

One of the reasons I love this professional dog training and boarding company is how they view each dog. They recognize and work with the fact that each dog has their own individual personalities and learning styles. Fusion K9 will take that into account when working with you and your furry family members. When meeting each new client they take these three things into account. They will keep in mind your lifestyle, goals and expectations for your pet, their breed specific tendencies, last but not least each pet’s personality and learning style. I know that if I were looking for professional dog training and boarding I would make Fusion K9 my first call.

Bubble Up Radon System

If you’ve gotten your water tested for Radon and it came back positive, you might be in need of a Bubble Up Radon System. Having the need for one of those systems is noting to be afraid of. Especially if you’re working with the Radon experts at Affordable Water Treatment. They have years of experience and will be able to answer all your questions about radon and it’s potential harmful effects. The experts can definitely answer any questions more effectively than I. Although I can give you a brief overview of Radon and the Bubble Up Radon System.

In case you’re not aware, radon is a odorless, tasteless, colorless naturally occurring radioactive gas. This gas occurs in nature due to the breakdown of uranium in the ground. Well then how does it get into my water, you might be asking. Radon seeps into the groundwater that runs directly though or over radium rich rocks. The more the water passes through or over those rocks the amount of radon increases. If you have a dug well here in Maine there are good chances that your water had radon in it.

I don’t want to screw you but there is a reason why the pros at Affordable Water Treatment wants you to test for radon. Being exposed to radon either through the air or your water supply can lead to risks of organ and lung cancer. If you have not had your air and water tested for Radon, that should be your first step. If you have already received a positive radon test. Even if you did not have the test done with Affordable Water Treatment, they can help you mitigate it! If you have radon in your water than you are most definitely going to need a Bubble Up Radon System. Through aeration accomplished by air pumps in an atmospheric chamber the amount of radon in your water can be reduced.

Eco Friendly Bamboo Brushes

If you’ve been trying to make changes in your daily life to help the planet, you might want to look into eco friendly bamboo brushes. You can find these eco friendly bamboo brushes from Dental Lace, the refillable floss company. I recently learned that they do way more than just refillable floss! After developing the refillable, eco friendly floss product, they realized another gap in the market. There are no alternative to plastic toothbrushes on the market, or should I say were no alternatives.

Dental Floss does more than floss, in case you didn’t catch on in the first paragraph. After realizing there was nothing other than plastic toothbrushes on the market, they set off on a mission. Let me share a fact that might shock you, there are over a billion toothbrushes a year that get thrown away across the world. Each of those plastic toothbrushes eventually end up in a landfill somewhere or in the ocean. If you’d like to keep your toothbrushes from taking up space in the landfill. It sounds like you’re ready to make the switch to a eco friendly bamboo brush. They have done a lot of testing and research to find the right size and feel for the toothbrush. The entire toothbrush is biodegradable! From the handle all the way down to the bristles which are made of plant based fibers.

Now switching to a eco friendly bamboo brush may seem like a small thing, but it can make a huge difference. Just think if everyone in your state switched to eco friendly bamboo brushes, that would mean thousands less plastic tooth brushes in our landfills or oceans. Whether you’re ready to make the switch or you’re interested in learning more, check out Dental Lace. They have all of their products available for purchase online. Along with all the information on the product, how it makes a difference and where the company got it’s start. I am very proud to say that Dental Lace got it’s start right here in Maine. Just a couple of Mainer’s trying to do what they can to better the future of our planet.
