Brodner Equipment for the ladies!

Ladies, do you walk for exercise? Do you enjoy mowing the lawn? Let's put these together. Go to Brodner's and get a push mower even if it's for a smaller section of your lawn. A battery operated one may be easiest. All you have to do is put the battery on the charger, then back in the mower. It's very simple, easier than putting gas in or dealing with gas/oil mixture (unless you have someone else handle that), then trying to pull start, or get an auto start. Actually either electric or gas is fine, the ones they make now have a lever to move itself along. But, by using a pushmower you get steps, even mile(s), your heart-rate up and the lawn is beautifully mowed! Two items off your to-do list.

You can go to Brodner by yourself, they won't fast-talk you into something you really don't need. They will explain the features and demostrate exactly how to use the mower. Do this for you!

Jim took his new truck to Mobile Graphics for them to do the wrap on his truck. They did an incredible work of art, it's absolutely amazing! While he was there they gave him a quick tour of their offices, you can't believe how they look! So, of course, pictures were taken to document what their designers are capable of! Once you check out the pictures below you will need this done to your workspace and house!

See what we mean? Doesn't it look 3 dimensional? They're not! All flat, no railing, no window or sill, no panels, no separate lines, no stepping down, just amazing! The people are real though!

Making the floor look deep down like that is a fun illusion! Seeing these beautiful works of art in person is even more impressive! If Mobile Graphics can do all of this and how they wrapped Jim's truck, just imagine what they can do for you and/or your business! Certainly a fun way to advertise!

Don'f forget to ask about Kanberra Gel products, these work fantastic! For instance, Jim had an odor at his late 1800's farmhouse from a rodent that passed away. You know how bad that smell is! It seemed as if it was in the ducts so he put a canister of Kanberra Gel, smell gone. But then the odor was coming from his side porch, again, a canister of Kanberra Gel took care of it! So whether it's something like that or other odors from cooking or pets Kanberra Gel makes the odor disappear, we don't know how, but it does!

Did you know? You can have a home inspection, by Jim Salmon, whether you're buying, selling or staying in your home. A home inspection report gives you valuable information about the condition of the house. Believe it or not, a home inspector does not create problems with the house, just makes you aware of them. So, no matter your situation, being informed is vital.
