Most people have said that they should put together a vehicle storm emergency preparedness kit.  And that's as far as most of us have ever taken it. 

Here's your choice now: Make a kit and never need it.  Make a kit and be glad you had it.  Don't make a kit.  What are you going to do?

Cell phone, portable charger, and extra batteries
Items to stay warm such as extra hats, coats, mittens, and blankets
Windshield scraper
Shovel
Battery-powered radio with extra batteries
Flashlight with extra batteries
Water and snack food

What does it take to get your dream home?  It takes a lot of things starting with a dream and ending with a closing date!  But in between are some very important steps and it sure would help if you had trustworthy recommendations to get you through those steps.  We can help:

Site preparation is vital for any development or construction project going smoothly. When starting a new project, any existing structure or the land itself can present challenges. If an old building exists, it is often best to get rid of it. Then the land itself typically needs to be leveled or tree roots and brush need to be cleared. Finally, materials need to be transported to and from the site. This ensures that a project can begin, with optimal conditions, and without delay. - Residential Excavating

Residential Excavating will make your dream home become a reality.

Geothermal systems are more than five times more efficient in heating and more than twice as efficient in cooling. These systems do not burn fossil fuel, but rather transfer heat to and from the earth. The systems are practically maintenance free! 

Solar Photovoltaic panels can be installed on home roofs, on and over decks, or can stand alone.  Even in the cloudiest of climates, this effective renewable resource can cover almost all of your electricity needs!

Alternative Carbon Energy Systems, Inc. (ACES) only engineers and installs renewable energy products. This allows us to focus on cutting edge technology delivering results that reduce or eliminate our customer’s dependency on local utilities. As a company, we focus on consistently delivering high quality results at a competitive cost advantage.
