Keeping the Birds Away from the Windows

The bird problem at my business is finally gone thanks to the bird wire installation that was done. I had a massive problem with a lot of birds sitting on the windows, leaving droppings on the side of the building, and sometimes on my customers heads. It was the weirdest thing that I’ve seen happen to my business, and I couldn’t just sit back and let the birds have their way. I had to get rid of them as soon as possible or I would lose all of my customers. I looked online for a local company that would be able to get rid of the birds quickly and found one.

The company told me that they would be able to solve my bird problem any time I wanted them to come out to the business. I didn’t want to have them working while my business was operating during normal business hours, so I schedules for them to come early in the morning on the weekend, because on the weekends we open later than normal. They quickly got to work to install the wiring. Once the wire was in place, the birds couldn’t rest on the side of the window.

Maybe it’s just me, but I swear that the number of customers that I’ve been getting has increased since I had the bird wiring installed. The revenue for my business has increased, and the business looks more packed than ever. I could have been making a lot more money this year if I had the wiring installed sooner, but I guess that’s a lesson for me to learn for next time. Never bother putting something off that can be done immediately. Hopefully the birds can find somewhere else to land that allows them to do their business while not ruining someone else’s business.

A Series of Gradual Home Improvements

During the year, I’ve been making upgrades to my home. I pick a part of the home that I think needs to be changed, and then set a budget around it. My latest project was adding glass doors to the showers. The showers are standard bathroom showers that also function as a bathtub, but they used a shower curtain before I had the glass doors installed. Despite being big on making improvements to my home, I’m not willing to do them myself, unless it’s something minor. I used a company that supplies glass shower doors in NJ to have the installation done.

Since my latest project resulted in work being done in the bathrooms, I’ve been thinking about continuing with more bathroom projects. There is currently wallpaper in the bathrooms, and I think that they would look much better with a fresh coat of paint. Technically I could just paint over the wallpaper, but I don’t think that would really look right in the bathrooms. The wallpaper is rather old, since it came with the house. By adding a coat of paint, I’m not only making the bathrooms look good, I’m also preparing them for the future. I’ll probably get tired of the paint color and will eventually want to change it. I can easily put a new coat of paint down with a different color any time I want.

I’ve also been thinking about getting new faucets for the bathrooms. The faucets that are in the bathrooms now work perfectly fine, but they just look so old. I would rather have something more modern, like one of those faucets that can be turned on without even touching it. These faucets have special motion sensors in them that will detect hand movement and turn on the water. I bet doing the electrical wiring for those is difficult.
