Finishing Out Summer 2020 TBR List! - Updated 7/31

Starting back in March, I was adding novel after novel for purposes of reading during social distancing and Summer 2020. I’m hoping you all found some great reads, even if you haven’t been able to read them all. *Here is another batch to round out Summer 2020, and I’m thrilled by the selection that includes sapphic, trans MCs, and more eras and locations than any list to date.

Leather and Lace by Rebel Carter (Good Sky series #5) - May 20th - sapphic

Mary Sophia James came to Gold Sky, Montana to find a husband at the insistence of her overbearing mother. Striking out in spectacular fashion after setting her eye on Julian Baptiste, her options are dwindling, and time is running out. She needs to find a man to marry before her condition becomes…obvious. Her mother’s prejudices and sharp tongue aren’t helping matters and Mary, to her shame, hasn’t behaved much better. But all her plans are derailed when she spots the most beautiful person she’s ever seen across the town square. Alex Pierce is strong, intriguing, looks stunning in a pair of trousers…and a woman.

Gold Sky is accepting of all types of love, and that between women is no different. Still, Alex didn’t expect to be so floored by the sight of the firey haired, yet fragile looking young woman. Mary needs to be married and Alex has a solution. Because in Gold Sky, Montana there are many ways to be married…and not all of them include a man.

Leather and Lace is a 35k word novella set at the same time as the events of book 2, Hearth and Home. It includes a passionate and romantic f/f love in a town where diversity, and love, reign supreme.

Note : Leather and Lace has a bit of mail-order, arranged married, kind of secret baby with some foreced proximity sprinkled on top!

An epic motion picture! A gay Napoleonic War love story! Ballrooms and battles at sea! Romantic happy endings on the silver screen! And a film that’ll change everything for its stars ... Jason Mirelli can’t play adrenaline-fueled action heroes forever. He’s getting older, plus the action star parts have grown a little thinner since he came out as bisexual.

His co-star: award-winning, overly talkative, annoyingly adorable -- and openly gay – box office idol Colby Kent. Colby’s always loved the novel this film’s based on, and he leapt at the chance to adapt it, now that he has the money and reputation to make it happen. But scars and secrets from his past make filming a love story difficult ... until Jason takes his hand and wakes up all his buried desires. Jason could be everything Colby’s ever wanted: generous and kind, a fantastic partner on set, not to mention those heroic muscles. But Colby just can’t take that chance ... or can he? As their characters fall in love and fight a war, Colby and Jason find themselves falling, too ... and facing the return of their own past demons. But together they just might win ... and write their own love story.

Text

This is the first time, outside of therapy, that I am opening up fully my past, I ask that you remain respectful.

Trigger warnings: Suicide, torture, neglect, alcoholism, … a lot listen you’ve got to be well resourced before you read this.

I know Dean, because I was Dean. I was raised to be “perfect”, I am so much like my dad, I didn’t have a childhood, I was tortured, I have lost time (dissociation not possession by an arc angel), I am fairly closeted, and I’m finally starting to get better.

Ever since a very young child, I was raised to be perfect. To look at a 99 and learn what I got wrong before I brought the grade home, otherwise, I was sent to study. I was raised to not be heard and taught to stay in my room. I was raised to not show emotion because anything more than stoic meant that I was an inconvenience. I had “fend for yourself nights” where I had to sort out what I would eat for dinner, and at inexcusably young ages, 5-6 years old. I learned to shoot at 8, and was taken fishing anytime my dad went. I was brought to the construction sites, learned how to use power tools, and eventually had my own set at home. While I wasn’t trained to hunt demons or other things that go bump in the night, I was molded to be just like my dad. My mom wasn’t around much when I was a kid, so I idolized my father. He was like a god to me. As I got older (legal), I even would drink things that my dad approved of like scotch and I smoked cigars. Often praised, “that’s my girl! Look guys, my daughter drinking scotch and smoking a cigar! Where are your kids?” The validation was like a high to me. I was desperate for his approval. Just like Dean. Talked like his dad, walked like his dad, drank like his dad, I get it.

I was blatantly ignored including being told that I was invisible by siblings. They would hold up a remote to me and say, “you’re invisible” and ignore me. I could leave the house and they would not come look for me. With my mom and dad often gone (usually working or partying we were quite poor), I didn’t have anyone looking after me since I was 4 so when my dad was around, much like Dean, all I wanted to do was make him happy and proud of me.

I was a closeted bisexual, who made so many gay jokes towards my cishet brother that I feel quite a bit of shame as an adult. I repressed every facet of desire I had for the opposite gender because being bisexual really meant that I must be gay. At least that is what Will and Grace told me, and I did not want to be gay. Things were bad enough, I didn’t need to add to my shit pile. By the time I was 12, I had no idea how to feel emotions and I had no idea how to love myself. Most days, now at 29, I still don’t know how to love myself. I am not out to everyone in my family. I don’t feel safe with everyone. All the gay jokes between the brothers, all the Dean is bi subtext, I lived a lot of it.

Torture can take the shape of many different forms but they fall under two umbrellas: physical and psychological. I was subjected to sound torture and sleep deprivation forms of physical torture that have lasting psychological effects. When you live through something like that, you don’t “rebound” in the traditional sense, and I would dissociate. My consciousness would retreat back into itself until it was safe enough to come back.

I dreaded Thursday nights as that is when it would begin. My father would bring home several cases of Michelob Ultra, from the store, and then he would start drinking. My dad didn’t measure his consumption in beers, instead he measured by the case. A form of extreme binge drinking that to this day I still don’t completely understand. While he would drink, his music would get progressively louder and louder until the whole house vibrated with noise.

There are some songs and artists that I cannot listen to anymore. They’re not songs by Metallica or Black Sabbath, instead they’re by Credence Clearwater Revival, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and the like. Songs that people dance to at their weddings, sing at funerals, and enjoy on a road trip with the entire family. They are generally described as lively yet not heavy, yet this music was the conduit of 5 years of actual torture for me. I used to say that these were my favorite songs, but it was a way to cope with hearing them at home, and then hearing them play in the car on the way to school the next morning. In my house, the music was played so loudly that walls and floors shook and overwhelmed my senses and ability to sleep, think, do anything but have a heartbeat and breathe. It would last all night. I never learned to “fall asleep” I would pass out. To this day, I can be desperately tired, and able to drive for several hours without being a dangerous driver. Like my body learned to ignore fatigue. “I just need like 4 hours every couple of days,” yeah Deano, I’ve been there.

I would freeze mentally. Almost like a zone out but on steroids. Then I’d look around and things wouldn’t feel real to me. I would look in the mirror and see a stranger. Now I understand that I had developed dpdr as a way to cope. I don’t wish it on anyone.

My mother? She would leave the house and go clubbing. My siblings were 8 years older than me and lived on their own a great distance from where I lived. Besides, I had school to go to on Fridays. So I cooked, I monitored myself, I had to become an adult. I didn’t get to be a kid. My catharsis was angsty and fluffy Harry Potter fan fiction. You can find it on FF.net, RandHrFan I no longer post with that handle. Dean’s were movies, movies that my dad, and I’d wager his dad watched. I also love westerns just like my dad and my grandfather, there is something about them.

When Dean cries and opens up to Sam about his hell experiences, I get it. I’m so proud of him for telling Sam. To some it seems like he’s closed off but he’s not. He’s opening up as much as he mentally can. And Sam listens. Just like my sister eventually did. When Dean gets mad and yells at John and Mary, I’m proud of him, because he is fighting for himself. He knew he deserved better and he didn’t let it go. Just like I have done in my not so distant past.

All the while my parent’s marriage was fracturing and I was mentally declining. My mom began sleeping in my room and in my bed, and I was basically left to sleep on the couch. On days when my dad would drink, and my mom would go out, I could get to be in my room again. I could be on the computer (laptops weren’t a thing yet) which lived in my room. I could connect with the two other friends on AIM, but the reality of my situation I couldn’t escape. I was isolated, didn’t trust my family and I didn’t know how to ask for help.

One day I attempted to take my life. I saw no value in it. What was I doing with my life. I was a broken human who didn’t deserve love, who didn’t deserve safety, who didn’t deserve well anything. So I downed a bottle of pills. I had an iron clad stomach, I wasn’t too worried about not being successful. Except, I sent a goodbye message to a friend, and that friend saved my life. He got a hold of my sister who got to me in enough time to make me throw up. (She was a champ at that, having suffered from bulimia and taught to throw up from no other than my dad.)

I didn’t receive help afterwards. I signed a paper saying that I wouldn’t attempt again and was taken home. (I hope this isn’t how hospitals roll anymore.) I left my house, I went to school out of state and found stability, created stability for myself. But my past still haunted me whenever I went home. So when Dean has a death wish, and gets discharged from hospitals before he’s stable, I get it.

My parents eventually divorced, and I came home to a place where I couldn’t live anymore for a solid couple of months, I couch surfed, and again my mental health took a nosedive, but nevertheless, I persisted. I got my head back in the game, and finished my degree. Chemistry. I couldn’t go back home, because if I did I’d be working for my dad. I couldn’t do that, it was too painful. So I went to grad school. I got my Ph.D. I began to chart my own path. But there was a rage in me that I couldn’t escape. I lashed out at anyone and everyone to hide the pain that I felt all the time. People were afraid of me. I was great at what I did but I couldn’t make lasting connections with others.

When I was 27 suicidal ideations became dangerous, and I got about as dark. I tried to harm myself, and wanted my world to burn. It didn’t matter that I was married, with pets, and owned a home. Nothing mattered. I finally had to decide between life and death, I couldn’t continue in that state. I can say confidently that I would be dead if I didn’t get help that day. I wish Dean had this chance. He gets close to this in moments with Cas when he is honest about his feelings and experiences, he cries, he gets angry, lashes out, but Cas is there for him. From someone like Dean, I’ll tell you Cas being present holds more weight than gold for Dean.

I have been in intense therapy for a year. By intense I do mean more than once a week, regular check ins with her, and the occasional group session. She sends me articles to read, homework, and we do EMDR work, emotional integration therapy, mindfulness, etc.

It was then that I began to learn that all the rage that I had built inside me was hiding intense fear, loss, and disappointment. The rage gave way to tears, and the tears gave way to a new anger that I could make peace with. That anger comes from the person I am today. The person who fights for herself. Who doesn’t take shit from anyone. The person who says, humans don’t break, vases break, and I am a human. I see a lot of that in late season Dean. He is a fighter.

But I am still the person who receives a compliment and shuts down, there is still a side of me that doesn’t believe that I deserve nice things, good things to happen to me, but that person is getting smaller. My therapist likes to hit me with compliments when I am vulnerable as I am more likely to believe them. I still react like a dead fish when she says them, and then after the session sob for hours over it. One day my head and my heart will believe the same things about myself. I would have reacted the same way as Dean to that confession.

When the cards fall, I still know that I can depend on myself before anyone else because I had to. My life as an impoverished, unstable, depressed, neglected, and abused kid says I should be dead or amounting to nothing, but hear I am. I’ve now closely mentored about 20 undergraduate students, a handful of graduate students, and have helped them find their paths in life. I have taught nearly 1000 students. I made a difference with the life that I tried to throw away.

I have come to a place where I can love my dad. He is sober again, and yes, my love for him does depend on his sobriety. When he is drinking he is not the same person. I wouldn’t call him an A+ dad by a long shot, and hell I am so much like him that at times it makes me sick, but I do love him. I have been able to forgive him. Forgive in the sense that I can make peace with what happened. It doesn’t change what happened or how much it affected me, and I certainly don’t forget, but that isn’t what forgiveness is. I don’t hold the rage anymore. The fact that Dean is able to is personal for Dean, as it is for me, and it isn’t some “family that is what you do” type reason.

I do experience flashbacks when there are fireworks, I can’t go to a movie theatre because of the volume, when people play really loud music in their cars I typically have to peel off into a parking lot and meditate for 20 minutes to be able to drive again. There are some stores that I don’t shop at because their music triggers me. So when Dean experiences those flashbacks, I get it.

There is a belief in the psychology that monster shows help us become comfortable with our dark sides. My dark side saved me over and over again. My dark side told me to be better than them. My dark side told me to fight for me, to adopt a survivor mindset. (If you can’t tell I am a green veined Slytherin and have never been sorted into any other house even by random house generators.) The things I delight in are a bit off color. I cultivate a poison garden, consume way too much true crime, to gore I say give me s’more and so on. Dean gets to experience his dark side, and he has to make peace with it. He makes inappropriate jokes, laughs at it, but he also does talk about it.

This is the hard part: Just like Dean, I am also light. I love people (vomit), seriously though, they are more precious to me than any earthly possession. Plants bring me serenity. Animals are a comfort and companion in the worst of times. There isn’t much I wouldn’t do to protect living things. My motivations come from a place of love and a need to protect others from what I have been through. I know I can survive, but I don’t know if that is true for everyone else.

I know Dean. I was Dean. I see that every episode. Moments when he yells and screams for himself, I cheer him on. Moments where he tries to waste his life away, I understand, and am crying right with him. The purgatory apology guts me, I’ve had to make that apology more than once. The dead fish reaction, hell that is me at the end of a therapy session. I am here to say: Dean is not broken. Dean is strong. Dean is resilient. Dean doesn’t just fight for himself, he fights for the whole of creation. Dean is not a vase. He is a human.

Oh and John’s taste in beer, much like my fathers, is crap. Don’t drink shitty beer. Also, I don’t drink scotch anymore. I'm a gin girl and I drink *okay* beer.

I’m the same blogger who does drunk blogging regarding Supernatural on Saturdays. It is a lovely bit of comfort and joy for me and I won’t be stopping any time soon. We will get back to the lovely and light “Dean is Bi he he” commentary this weekend.

Hiding (In Pieces 17)

Rhen goes through a lot in the games, but because she keeps such a good attitude through it all I think people tend to forget or minimize it, so it was nice for me to write something that addressed her struggles in some small way. And also I wanted to look at why Rhen distrusts pirates so much in the game; I was originally going to have something with Pirate John but this piece happened instead. It's set when the party goes to the Veniara Isles. I had them stop for the night.

Rhen was curled up in the lower deck of the skudder, scowling and fuming and being angry at the world— but mostly at herself.

She had yelled at everyone. They hadn't even done anything. She just didn't like the way the Sour Ale Tavern smelled; like sweat and mold and three months without a bath, like that ship, the one that took her away from everything she knew. And she didn't like the pirates, or the way they leered at her. She didn't know who had sailed that ship, but they'd looked like pirates, and they had leered the same way. She hated them, and she hated the pirates in that stupid tavern—

And it was no excuse, but that's why she'd blown up at Elini when the summoner nudged her and nodded appreciatively towards one of the criminals, like he was worth looking at, like he had ever done anything that wasn't despicable—

Lars had tried to tell her she was being ridiculous— she was being ridiculous, but she'd yelled at him anyway. And she'd yelled at Galahad when he tried to tell her to behave more like a lady— and at Te'ijal, for no reason other than that she was standing there. The vampress had just stared at her, smiling like it was amusing. It wasn't funny. There was nothing funny about piracy, or violence, or— or— or— slavery—

And all this time she had watched out of the corner of her eye as Dameon slowly approached her, wearing one of his little frowns, and finally he'd said her name and she'd whirled on him— she didn't need his judgement too, after everything else— she just wanted someone to be on her side— and she'd yelled and yelled—

She didn't know what she'd said. She just remembered the baffled look on his face as he apologized for nothing, and way he stammered, "It— it's all right, Rhen," after she screamed, and— and—

How the color slowly rose in his face as she shouted at him, and the light went out of his eyes— those eyes that had understood her in ways she didn't understand herself— and the old guarded look of his face came back, like a prison door closing and the lock clicking, and he wouldn't look at her no matter what she shrieked at him—

What had she said? She wished she knew, but all that was clear was that she was alone again, and it was her own stupid fault this time. The others were all still at the tavern, where she'd left them when she'd run away. She'd run from the pirates, and from the hurt faces of her friends— from the deadness in Dameon's dark eyes— and mostly from her stupid, idiot self.

Pa would tell her she shouldn't turn her back on her problems. She needed to fix what she had broken. She needed to be brave.

But she wasn't brave. She was impulsive, sometimes, and people thought that was courage, but courageous people didn't run away. She did, she had run away in more ways than one. She remembered how it felt to be in Clearwater— not like home anymore, not like a place that knew her. It was a hiding place. All the things people asked her to do had seemed farther away there. Courageous people didn't hide. A brave person would do what was needed, would stand up for herself and would stand up for all the helpless people in the world, stepping boldly into the unknown, not longing always for security that was far past. Not like her.

A brave person would not still be afraid of pirates, for something that had happened so long ago.

And, certainly, a brave person would not have yelled at her friends.

But perhaps, at least, an impulsive person might pretend to be brave. She could apologize for her stupidity, and could maybe be forgiven, and then, possibly, things would go back to how they were before.

She was shaking, but she wanted to try.

So she got up, and dusted herself off and tried to straighten her hair. She readjusted the sword on her back— because she was still scared, and it made her feel safer— and she went back to the tavern.

There were more pirates inside now, she guessed because it was closer to dinnertime. She saw her group sitting in the back and she tried to make her way towards them.

But it was so crowded, and she didn't want to touch any of the pirates because they smelled and they were glaring at her and they were making her nervous— she reached back to feel for her sword, to reassure herself—

And her arm bumped into someone. "Sorry," she said quickly, but he turned to scowl at her.

"Scurvy landlubber!" he gritted between black teeth, and grabbed her wrist in rough hands, like those hands—

"Hey!" she protested, but he ignored her—

"I warned yer kind not ter touch me," he said, his gaze flicking momentarily to the corner where she knew her friends were before settling back on her.

“Leave me alone!”

But his grip tightened and she couldn’t pull her arm free— “Whining whelp,” he growled, and she was afraid of him, and she hated him, and she didn't have time for this right now— she reached for her sword with her other hand—

"Let go of me or I'll—"

She didn't get to finish her threat because the pirate's head was abruptly knocked to the side and he let go of her wrist to touch his jaw, and Rhen looked to see who had helped her and saw Dameon, nursing bloody knuckles, looking angry and a little surprised and a bit shy—

"You'll pay fer that," the pirate said, balling his fist and pulling back his arm to take a swing at the priest—

But suddenly Rhen was jumping between them, roaring "Don't touch him!"— and she was shaking and her heart was thumping painfully but she wasn’t going to move.

The pirate looked taken aback, his bushy eyebrows raised high, and slowly his fist dropped to his side. And then, unexpectedly, a grin cracked across his face, and he laughed. "Well, aren't you a feisty lass!"

Rhen didn't know how to respond to this so she just growled.

The pirate chuckled. "Go on!" he said, waving his hand dismissively. "I been hit worse before. Teach yer dog to punch."

With that he turned back to his drink, and Rhen was left trembling before the real enemy— herself, and her stupid pride—

"Rhen," Dameon began, reaching for her—

"Don't touch me," she said between gritted teeth, not because she didn't want him to hold her but because her pulse was still pounding and she was still shaking. "What possessed you to punch him?"

Dameon's eyes— dark and lifeless— met hers. "I— didn't want him to hurt you."

She just wanted everything to be all right between them again, but she was afraid to say the only words that might help.

"I'm— such— a coward," she managed.

There was a moment of nothing but the raucous conversations of drunk seamen and the stink of molding wood, like that ship, the one she hated— and then Dameon said, slowly and quietly, "You are the bravest person I know."

She swallowed hard, and hesitated for an awful moment before hiding her face in his broad chest— brave people didn't hide, but she did, and brave people didn't cry but maybe that was only because they didn't have a place to leave their tears, and she felt secure enough, now, to say those frightening words—

"I'm sorry— for being angry," she said, or she meant to say it, but it came out a whisper. "I didn't mean it. I was just— afraid."

He had stiffened at first, like he always had before, but now he was holding her gently. His hands were warm and soft. "It's okay, Rhen," he said, and she heard in the slight breaking of his voice that he would protect her, even if he couldn't punch for crap—which was both alarming and reassuring. She pulled away from him to look into his eyes. The lights were coming back.

"Is— are the others still angry with me?" she asked.

He shook his head.

"Good," she said, and swallowed. "I would like— to apologize to them, too. Will— will you come with me?"

He kissed her hand, and said, "Anywhere," and it was the silliest, sappiest thing she had ever heard.

But she believed him.

Providing a new paint coat can have the finest finishing touch for a home or room renovation. In case of crown molding, chair rail, base molding, decorative or casing molding, a new or refresh color can make all the things look sharp. Painting molding is not as easy as it looks. Appropriate preparation of wood is important to make sure that it looks good when completed as well as holds up with time. It is particularly true for the char rail as well as crown molding that are both likely to catch the eye. While white is the most popular color for molding, gray, off white, and even black may also add interesting contrast and provide a more natural wood stain. Some designers recommend painting the trim with the same color as the walls. This approach doesn't provide contrast, but it does introduce depth and texture to the walls.

At Handyman Services Of Wichita, we do painting of all kinds of molding in different areas of a house. Also, you can be assured that we will make the trim correctly and have that looking just how you need it to be. Molding painting needs excellent technique as the molding so often borders the ceiling or the floor.

Traditional or Modern Style? Can’t Decide? Then Transitional Style Is for You!

This Transitional Style home we built in Clearwater includes quartz countertops, Shaker-style cabinets, unique light fixtures, and a variety of modern and traditional elements.

Are you planning your new home or a major renovation but can’t decide on the style you want? Is it a tug of war between going with a traditional style of comfortable furniture and classic designs or a modern style of sleek, clean lines? You will be happy to learn that you can have them both in the trending transitional style.

The eloquent luxury transitional style gives you the freedom to pick your favorite elements from both traditional and modern resulting in a harmonious fusion that is comfortable, classic and chic.

When well executed, one of the major benefits of building a custom transitional home is the freedom to choose your favorite elements from each style without sacrificing the aesthetic, worth, or quality of the final product.

So, how can you do this and what are the elements to consider?

To start, here are simple definitions for traditional and modern style.

Traditional style is a design and architectural style based on the classic styles of old Europe. It uses such elements as crown molding, wainscot, chair rail, coffered ceilings, as well as natural materials such as wood.

Modern style is all about minimalism, clean-sleek-lines, tapered legs and crisp angles to create an open, airy feel. It leans on using man-made materials such as glass, metal and concrete.

The transitional style is a hybrid, inviting the soft lines and comfortable furnishings of the traditional style without the fuss while keeping the color palettes and sleek modern styling.

Here’s a list of some elements you can consider when creating your transitional style:

Choose a neutral color scheme of grey, sand or white which follow the traditional style, but consider adding some bold accents to create some contrast.

This transitional-style home blends a neutral palette with a subtle splash of bolder colors.

2. Don’t overdo it on fancy woodwork. In keeping with the modern influence, avoid ornate crown molding or wainscot. Keep it simple.

This transitional-style room uses smooth walls sans crown molding and a simple baseboard over wood-look tile, keeping the look clean and simple.

3. Transitional style lighting uses contemporary lighting and is an exciting way to transform your home. Lighting can have a wondrous impact on a room and fixtures are becoming prominent as the offerings explode. Choose an inspirational contemporary chandelier or molecular light as an eye-catching focal piece.

Shaker-style cabinets and classic subway tile balance the man-made materials such as glass and quartz in this transitional-style kitchen.

4. Metallic elements are much sought after in today’s popular transitional style for the reason that they work seamlessly with any design style. Incorporate gold, bronze or copper through faucets, lighting, side tables, and accessories. Also check out our blog, The Art of Mixing Metals in Your Home.

This transitional-style kitchen incorporates Shaker-style cabinets, coffered ceilings and marble with modern mixed metals such as glass, oil-rubbed bronze and stainless steel.

5. Adding carpet for texture is very much a part of the transitional design. They anchor the furniture in the room, add color, and offer soft luxury underfoot. You can add texture and pattern with a traditional woven or knotted carpet, and it is recommended to pick neutral colors to complement the design.

This transitional-style home combines soft textiles and unique carpet with modern-looking black doors.

6. Modern art can also be used to shift from traditional to transitional. A transitional style home is very focused on accents and the accents can shift the design either to modern or traditional. Select your favorite contemporary artwork to create a striking focal point. And, to not overdo the look, best practice is to take a minimalist approach.

For more in-depth help watch our latest video, How To Get Started On Designing Your Home.

Our advice… Get your create on and have fun!!

Why Air Duct Cleaning is a Necessity?

The majority of people never think about their air ducts. You may even be wondering just what an air duct is and if you have them in your home. If you have central heating or cooling, then you have tubes carrying that hot or cold air throughout the house and coming out vents. It's the system that provides the air to your home and when it's not maintained, your health can suffer.

Why is Air Duct Cleaning Important?

Just imagine what gets built up in those tubes that carry your air. Dust bunnies collect in there, insects, and even mold. Every time the blower turns on, whether you are using warm or cool air, all that stuff gets blown right out the vents and into your air where you are inhaling it. It's little wonder that many people get very ill just from this one simple problem! Black mold in particular is very dangerous and the spores can cause illness. yet most people would never suspect that their air ducts are the issue.

Those long tubes that snake throughout your home can either help or hinder your health. It's particularly important for families which have children with asthma or allergies to make sure that they hire an air duct cleaning equipment company on a regular basis to prevent illness.

How Air Duct Cleaning Equipment Works

Since most of these air ducts are very small, it can be a real challenge to clean them out, particularly when things are stuck to the sides. That's why a company that has the right air duct equipment is preferred. The following tools are things that the cleaner will use to make sure everything is out of your air system.

An air compressor. This is necessary for just about every step of the process. It might be noisy, but the compressed air will help dislodge everything in the air ducts and make sure it's out.

Whips. These attach to the end of the air compressor hose and whip around wildly. The cleaner can push these through the air duct and the tentacles on the whip will bang against the edges of the tube and loosen any buildup so it can be removed. Air hose. A definite necessity, the air hose is what the cleaner uses to clear out debris. There are a number of attachments that can be put on the air hose which work with the compressed air to remove debris from the pipes.

Brush. This is used to brush the sides of the air duct and basically sweep any dirt, mold and bugs out of the tubes. It usually comes with an extendable handle to reach further in. Vacuum. This piece of equipment will suck out clogs and any other items that might be stuck in the air duct. The vacuum that the cleaner uses will be very strong and with a long hose so it can reach all areas of the air ducts and remove clogs or insects that might be nesting in there.

It's important to have professionals with proper air duct cleaning equipment do the job. Just reaching in with an ordinary vacuum or a scrub brush isn't going to do the trick and you'll miss most of the air duct if you attempt to clean it on your own without the correct air duct equipment. It's worth the cost because your health and that of your family will be much better for having clean air to breathe. Most people never even realize the amount of contaminants that are coming through their air vents until they are already sick.

Emergency Plan: How to Evacuate High-Rise Building

High-rise buildings have gained significant awareness and challenges in the fire safety world over the years. The several floors of a high-rise building require several people to travel long distances by stairs in order to evacuate a building.

The types of buildings involved can either be residential (apartments, dormitories or other multi-family housing), office buildings, hotels, or commercial (offices, service centers, and others) buildings. By practicing hazard (natural, human-caused, and technology-caused) preparedness, we can improve the likelihood that building occupants remain safe during disasters such as fires and other crises.

ServiceMaster by PWF, an expert and trusted company with 30 plus years of industry experience in disaster restoration services, is here to give an informative article on how to evacuate on a high-rise building. In view of the topic's wide coverage, this article is limited to the emergency evacuation plan only.

What is an emergency evacuation plan?

An emergency evacuation plan involves the urgent departure or escape of people away from an area that contains an imminent threat, an ongoing threat, or a hazard to life or property. Evacuations range from the small-scale evacuation of a building due to a storm or fire to flood, or an approaching weather disaster.

Depending on the type of hazard, the time to evacuate is a big factor. For weather conditions, such as a hurricane, you might have a day or two to get prepared. However, most disasters occur surprisingly, allowing no time for people to gather their personal belongings, which is why thinking ahead and always being ready is essential.

What to do during an emergency evacuation

Step 1: Evaluate the Situation Make an assessment of the situation before making an evacuation. Focus is the key. Do not panic. Confirming the situation is called for, and would help you compose your plan if necessary to best cope with the circumstances.

For instance, if there is a bomb threat or an armed shooter spotted in the building, wait for instructions from authorities such as the police or fire department regarding what to do next before making your evacuation.

Another is a fire situation. Say the fire alarm has been activated, and the firefighters advised the building residents to move to the east block of the building. In that way, you can evacuate as instructed in a safe direction and not depending on what you observe the others are doing.

Step 2: Make an Evacuation Route Plan Beforehand, if you are a new resident in a building, or you just moved in a new office, it is advisable to speak and check with the building management for all the available information with regards to evacuation protocols and safety procedures; in that way, you are prepared for a worst-case scenario. However, if the building administrator has none, office buildings, hotels, restaurants, and other commercial spaces often have evacuation maps found on lobbies and staircases. Use the evacuation maps in formulating your route plan.

Step 3: Select a Safe Escape Route Try to identify and select the least risky route. Study and analyze the building plans or maps to assist people to find their nearest exits, and make an evacuation plan that would take you and them quickly and safely. Avoid risky parts of the building like elevators, as these could possibly fail and risk the lives of the people. If possible, use the staircases.

Try to help other people by guiding them to the exits of the building. Advise them to avoid potential hazard areas such as areas with large windows and kitchens. These pose a risk; the windows may blow out and cause unsafe risk due to broken glasses. For kitchens, lines inside the kitchen such as gas lines can break anytime and there's the risk of being blown up.

Step 4: Proceed with Caution to an Exit Once you know your evacuation path, proceed carefully and quickly to your nearest exit. Do not worry about gathering your personal belongings that are not within your reach. It is dangerous to go back to your room and pack your bag once an evacuation has started. If possible, make your way out through your nearest clearly marked exit sign. If the exit door is not accessible, try to find other openings or ways out of the building like windows. For people with disabilities, call 911 and report your location, and wait for an emergency personnel’s assistance.

Step 5: Keep Some Distance Once you are out in the open, make sure to put some distance between you and the building. Usually, emergency personnel set up a "do not cross the line" or "police line do not cross" signage to indicate a safe and secured distance. Most likely, people will forget the evacuation plan protocols after getting out of the building, when there are designated meeting places or areas to meet with others.

Consider also the different types of emergencies, like an electrical problem in the building which requires less space, and most importantly, understand how much space you need based on the reason of evacuation.

Step 6: Report to Responders After making a safe distance from the building, check-in with emergency responders to let them know you're safe and wait for further instructions on what to do next. Make time to call someone and let them know if you are injured or totally safe from harm. If the authorities are still not present, call 911 and report the incident; if possible, warn them of potential threats and wait for further instructions.
