Natural gas is known to be the most common energy source that is used in and across western Australia. Even when there are several benefits, it is equally important to prioritise proper maintenance and safety to ensure natural gas lines. Regular maintenance ensures the handling of the overall gas lines at home. However, choosing plumbing services for success is always a better decision as it requires expert equipment and knowledge to work with the natural gas system.

[praeventionmitkopf]

Water emergencies can be really bad for homeowners. Whether it is a leaky fixture, malfunctioning appliance, or maybe burst pipe issues, it requires calling local plumbing and gas for success. However, it is equally important for homeowners to understand how to quickly find the main water shut-off valve and utilise it to prevent water waste and damage to their homes.

Tattoo AU (Part 1/?)

I don't know the word punctuality, so here you got the first part [kinda unedited sorry] - 1650 words

Bez controls his station once again, ensuring everything he will need is prepared, sterile and in the correct position. Then he spins his stool towards the clock, looking at the larger pointer and realises that not even five minutes have passed since the last time he has done this.  

“Have you not taken your medication today, or what is going on with you?“ Vale sticks his head through the door, staring very annoyed at him. “No, of course I have taken it!“, Bez protests. He surely hasn’t forgotten to take his medication- Has he? He notices his foot tapping along to the tact of Last Christmas. - Did Luca leave on his bad Christmas playlist once again? They talked about that!- No, No, he can remember eating and then taking the pills with tap water, because he was too late to go in the kitchen and get a glass. It was important to be on time today. His regulars know he tends to be late for a few minutes and they don’t care so he hasn’t had to change yet but today is special. Today he has his appointment.  

Bez nearly sighs, as he remembers the beautiful brown curls, the soft looking plumb but thin lips, the brown eyes he could lose himself in for hours... 

Vale snaps in front of his eyes to get his attention back. Embarrassed, Bez stares up to him, eyes narrowing as he sees the smug grin on the other man's face. This doesn‘t means anything good- “Why don‘t you hang up the Christmas decorations? I want it to look nice here in time for the first of December and you don‘t have any clients for the next half hour. I checked with Luca.“ Hesitant, Bez glimpses over to the big stencil. He still needs to check if the print was successful and if every other of the three spare prints is good as well. “Your client surely will love it, when he comes in and everything already looks great.“ Sold.  

Energetic he stands up and goes on search for the storage boxes. “Migno has already brought the ladder into the waiting room.“, Vale calls after him. Bez is already too focussed on his new task to answer in any other way than simply giving him a thumbs up, while speeding towards the entry.  

----- 

Half an hour later, the plastic tree stands in the corner of the waiting room, overloaded with fairy lights and neoncolored Christmas baubles, the paper stars hang in the glass front of the store and Bez balances on the ladder, fighting with the quite ugly pine garland. It just doesn’t want to stay on the nails, where it belongs during winter times. With another frustrated snort, Bez stretches a little more, hopefully just enough to finally reach the last nail...  

“Just move the ladder”, Luca comments from behind the counter, where he stood the last five minutes and watched him struggle after saying goodbye to his last client of the day.  

“Or you could maybe help me instead of laughing, just a suggestion.” Bez bites back and goes onto his toes. Yeah, nearly there... 

The entry door swings wide open, and the bell Bez just hung up five minutes ago rings. “Oh, there you are”, Luca greets the new arrival. “I think you have to wait a minute, you see Bez is a bit busy right now.”  

Bez attention shifts when he hears his name, and he risks a glimpse down.  

There he stands... Those perfect curls, lurking out from under the red hat, nose and cheeks coloured in bright pink due to the cold outside, his slightly bitten lips hidden beneath the big matching red scarf.  

Bez loses balance and crashes down the short ladder, tearing down the garland with him. He lands onto his back, limps in the air, like a helpless beetle, and for a short moment the world blurs before his eyes. Black points dance in his field of view and cover most of it.  

He blinks once, twice, and then the world shifts back to normal, luckily without seeing double.  

Pecco- No, Francesco, he corrects himself- is only centimetres away from his face, examining him, eyes narrowed ever so slightly. Bez wonders how a human can look so pretty. Maybe he is no human. Maybe he is an angel, send from heaven to save him.  

Only after a few seconds of losing himself in those big lovely brown eyes, does he realize that he is in fact talking to him. “Can you follow my finger with your eyes?”, the angel asks him and moves said finger to the left and the right. Marco follows his instructions very willingly. “Okay, I think he might have a concussion.”, the angel says to a person standing on their right side. The giant sighs and grabs his head. “Of course he would manage to do that. Should we get him to the hospital?” His angel shrugs. “Would be best. Didn’t wanted to see my boss again before next week, but I could clock in for overtime and examine him. Quickest way to get in and out and additionally get the good drugs.” As his angel mentions it, Bez feels his head aching and pounding. “Why does the world turn?”, he mutters and moves closer to his angel until his head rests in his very comfortable lap.  

“Yeah, that definitely seems like a concussion. Do you help me to get him up?” Wait, what.  

Marco notices how his feet suddenly dangle in the air, without touching any ground. Confused he turns his head to look at Luca, who holds him close to his chest and moves towards the door. “Wait, no, we can’t go without the angel.” Laughing is audible, both from Luca and from behind him. Blushing, he realises Francesco stood behind him and supports his head, well now he also pets his shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ll come with you. Someone needs to drive.” Luca still won’t stop laughing. So, Bez raises his hand and slaps him on the shoulder. “This is all your fault. If you would have helped me, I wouldn’t have fallen in the first place!”, he hisses, his head now a lot clearer. “If you hit me again, I’ll drop you.”, Luca warns him yet giggling between words. Marco pulls back to pout.  

They stop before the door, facing a problem none of them had considered. How they should open the inward-swinging door to walk through. And then lock it up. Migno said goodbye over an hour ago and Vale also excused himself a few minutes after talking with Bez to ‘pick up a friend’. Everyone who knows Vale knows that that is basically a code for ‘Marc just sent me a message, I need to pay him attention’. But nothing of this solves their problem in any way, because the point is, they aren’t here. Luca exchanges a look with Pecco, holding a silent discussion with the result that it is best for them when he hands over Bez and get the keys.  

Before he realises what is going on, Bez gets passed over like an oversized toddler. However, any protest dies as he leans his head onto Francescos shoulder and stares into his wonderful eyes. “Angel”, he whispers and holds a bit closer onto him. Francesco chuckles and grins at him as if he just found out a secret.  

All of a sudden, Bez remembers something. “We have to reschedule. Your tattoo. I prepared everything, but I can’t tattoo you like this.” “This was kind of obvious. And it's not a problem. I can certainly free up some time in my calendar soon.”, Francesco calms him down with his beautiful smirk.  

“Ok, I got the keys and I messaged Vale, can you two now postpone flirting until later and we get going? I have another client in about two hours, would be great if I would be back.” Luca closes in from behind and effectively manages to disrupt the conversation.

Francesco looks away, like he has been caught being naughty, just the slightest touch of red on his cheeks, while Bez wishes he could murder Luca with his glare. But sadly, the younger man doesn’t care, he walks right past them, holds the door open so Pecco can carefully carry Bez outside and then he turns the open sign, locks up the store, before he sits down in the driver seat of his car and waits until Francesco has arranged a surprisingly now very flustered Bez in the back seat and got in himself. He adjusts the rearview mirror, grins happily, starts the car and the radio begins to play.

Bez groans. How could he forget this. “Let's make a trip to the hospital.”, Luca says and parks out, all while the Jonas brothers da-dom-dom-dom away.  

I can’t deny what I’m feeling inside 

Nothin’ fake about the way you bring me to life 

You make every day feel like it’s Christmas 

Every day that I’m with you 

[forkingandcountry-if]

Hello,

I wanted to ask how to close to reality is the story’s setting?

Did Galder replace science in this world, or are they connected?

Will we deal with medieval beliefs about medicine and superstition?

Witch trials? Plagues? Lack of plumbing?

Thank you

Wanted to add that I really liked your story :)

I tend to get board with wordy writing but I felt none of that with your’s

Can’t wait for the first chapter <3

I'm not exactly how close to say the story is to reality, my goal is to write a fun fantasy story that fundamentally doesn't feel goofy as I feel a lot of fantasy stories end up being.

That doesn't mean everything is based in reality but if I can, I try to have some basis for my writing decisions.

In this world, Galder (a type of magic) and science are closely connected because they are both studied by the same kind of people—philosophers. These philosophers study literature, morality, science, and Galder, and those who focus specifically on Galderic principles and practices are sometimes called Wizards and Witches.

In Chapter 1, you'll meet an actual Wizard Philosopher, which is exciting because they are one of the most fantastical elements in the world.

Science in this world can and does advance, and in some ways, it is more developed than it was historically in our reality. This is because Galder allows for engineering feats that would have taken much longer to achieve without it but in other ways it's stalled because galder has removed a pressure to innovate in certain ways.

My favorite example of science and galder being used together in this world is the Grand Lift at Maidenhead, you'll see it in chapter 1 also, it straddles the line between being an engineering marvel and feeling like a genuine miracle for the time.

While the world retains many medieval beliefs about medicine, Galder is an effective means of physical healing. Superstitions are more common around mental health, and the poor, who cannot afford Galderic healing, often turn to hedge-witches and apothecaries, though their methods are much less effective.

Witch trials aren't really a thing here because 'Wizards' and 'Witches' are just titles for practitioners of Galder as mundane in that world as you might call a soldier with a title a 'Knight'. However, hedge-witchery is persecuted and criminalized because it's seen as unnatural and morally wrong according to Galderic principles because it operates outside of them.

Plagues still occur, such as the recent Great Water Sickness mentioned in the Prologue. The world has medieval-level plumbing, though some regions are more advanced than others. For example, in wealthier regions like the Princelands, Vale and Great Lakes, Borderlands, Highlands and more recently the Royal Domain, aqueducts and sewer systems are being developed, although at varying rates across the Empire.

Refreshing StrangeSpot, WIP: now with a skyline and a skybox!

Due to story events (and me being heavily inspired by @andrevasims' Pretersolaria Institute, which has replaced the now abandoned La Fiesta Tech as the university), most of the citizens have gone into a panic, fled their old homes, and built anew.

This is @chrisnewbie's Dust Vale that I'm currently building a cabin on, but good news for the family living here: the outdoor plumbing is now installed! They can shower in relative privacy (with a well-placed screen and some ivy) with a view (of dry crops). It's truly a dustland fairytale to behold.

Pest-Proofing Your Home: Tips for Long-Term Protection

Pest-proofing your home is an essential step in maintaining a safe and healthy living environment. By taking proactive measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of pest infestations and ensure long-term protection for your property. This comprehensive guide covers practical tips and strategies for effectively pest-proofing your home.

Understanding the Importance of Pest-Proofing

Pest-proofing is more than just a preventive measure; it’s a critical aspect of home maintenance that helps protect your property from potential damage and health risks. Pests such as rodents, insects, and termites can cause significant damage to your home’s structure, compromise your health, and lead to costly repairs. By implementing pest-proofing measures, you can minimize the chances of an infestation and ensure a healthier, safer living space.

Conduct a Thorough Inspection

The first step in pest-proofing your home is to conduct a thorough inspection of both the interior and exterior of your property. Look for signs of potential entry points and vulnerabilities where pests could gain access. Common areas to inspect include:

Foundation and Walls: Check for cracks, gaps, or holes in your foundation and walls. Even small openings can provide entry points for pests like rodents and insects.

Windows and Doors: Ensure that windows and doors are properly sealed. Look for damaged weather stripping or gaps around frames that pests could exploit.

Roof and Attic: Inspect your roof for damaged shingles or loose vents. Pests such as squirrels and raccoons can enter through damaged roofing materials. Additionally, check your attic for signs of pest activity. Pest control Wyndham vale

Plumbing and Utilities: Examine areas around pipes and utility lines for gaps or leaks. Rodents and insects are often attracted to moisture and can enter through these openings.

Seal Entry Points

Once you’ve identified potential entry points, the next step is to seal them to prevent pests from gaining access to your home. Use appropriate materials to seal gaps and openings:

Caulk and Sealant: Use caulk or sealant to close small cracks and gaps in walls, windows, and doors. This material is effective at keeping out insects and small rodents.

Steel Wool: For larger gaps, especially around pipes, consider using steel wool. This material is difficult for pests to chew through and provides an effective barrier.

Weather Stripping: Replace damaged weather stripping around doors and windows to ensure a tight seal. This will help prevent pests from slipping through gaps.

Mesh Screens: Install mesh screens over vents, chimneys, and other openings to keep out pests while allowing proper ventilation.

Maintain Cleanliness

Maintaining a clean and clutter-free home is crucial for pest prevention. Pests are attracted to food, water, and shelter, so keeping your home clean can significantly reduce their appeal:

Kitchen Hygiene: Keep your kitchen clean by regularly wiping down surfaces, cleaning up spills, and storing food in airtight containers. Ensure that trash is disposed of promptly and that bins are properly sealed.

Declutter: Reduce clutter in your home, especially in storage areas like basements, attics, and garages. Pests often seek out hidden and undisturbed areas to nest and breed. Pest control truganina 

Regular Cleaning: Vacuum and mop floors regularly to remove food particles and potential pest attractants. Pay special attention to areas like under appliances and furniture.

Pet Food: Store pet food in sealed containers and avoid leaving it out overnight. Pet food can attract pests such as ants and rodents.

Address Moisture Issues

Moisture is a significant attractant for many pests, including termites, cockroaches, and rodents. Addressing moisture issues in your home can help prevent infestations:

Fix Leaks: Repair any leaks in plumbing, roofs, or windows promptly. Pests are attracted to damp environments, and fixing leaks will help reduce their appeal.

Improve Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Use exhaust fans and dehumidifiers to control humidity levels.

Clean Gutters: Regularly clean gutters and downspouts to prevent water from pooling around your foundation. Standing water can create ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other pests.

Dry Out Wet Areas: If you experience water damage or flooding, dry out affected areas quickly. Moisture can attract pests and contribute to mold growth.

Landscaping and Yard Maintenance

Your yard and landscaping play a significant role in pest prevention. Proper yard maintenance can help keep pests away from your home:

Trim Vegetation: Keep shrubs and trees trimmed and away from your home’s exterior. Overgrown vegetation can provide cover for pests and facilitate their entry into your home.

Remove Debris: Clear away fallen leaves, branches, and other debris from your yard. Debris can create hiding spots for pests and contribute to pest problems.

Proper Drainage: Ensure that your yard has proper drainage to prevent standing water. Standing water can attract mosquitoes and other pests.

Seal Gaps in Fencing: If you have a fence, check for gaps or holes that could allow pests to enter your yard. Repair any damage to maintain a secure perimeter.

While DIY pest-proofing measures are effective, there may be situations where professional assistance is necessary. Pest control Melbourne experts can provide comprehensive inspections, advanced treatments, and ongoing monitoring to ensure that your home remains pest-free.

In summary, pest-proofing your home involves a combination of proactive measures, regular maintenance, and vigilance. By sealing entry points, maintaining cleanliness, addressing moisture issues, and managing your yard, you can significantly reduce the risk of pest infestations and protect your home for the long term.
