Home improvement projects are a necessarily “evil,” especially if you live in a homeowners association that dictates lofty standards for the appearance of the home and its landscape. Over time, the home becomes weathered, the paint may start chipping, tiles may become dislodged. To maintain the value and appearance of your home, general maintenance work needs to be done, whether or not a homeowners association is breathing down your neck to do it.
Home improvement jobs tend to get stacked up into the infamous “Honey Do List” — you know, the endless projects a wife dictates for her honey to do.
The Dreaded House Painting Job
Painting a home is a big — and expensive — job that usually works its way to the bottom of the “honey do list” because it’s such a chore. The yuckiest, most time-consuming part of the job is the pre-painting work. First, the old paint has to be scraped off and all the dirt, mold, mildew and other nasty stuff removed. Some of this labor can be reduced by using a power washer, so long as you know what you’re doing. If used incorrectly, the power washer might etch your wood, blast the mortar out between any brickwork and so forth. You also need to know what you are doing before painting over the power washed area — some people tend to lose patience and paint over wet walls.
After the home exterior has been scraped, then you need to caulk gaps around windows, doors, molding, siding and the like. If you have wood siding, look for nail heads that may be sticking up a little bit. If you find any, nail them back down using a nail countersink and putty the hole.
Once all that labor has been done (and maybe a bit more, such as preparing the landscaping around the house for the paint job and other demands on the honey do list), then the painting begins! You hope and pray it’s not going to rain out and that your credit card will go through when you buy hundreds of dollars worth of paint.
Your costs will run somewhere in the ballpark of $600 for paint, another $60 a day for equipment rental (if you’re using a power washing), another $100 or so in extra expenses, such as caulking supplies and equipment and then your labor. You’ll spend around 50 hours on the project if you have a 3-bedroom home.
With all this, no wonder exterior house painting tends to find its way to the bottom of the “honey do list.”
College Students Create a Winning Solution, Delivering Some of the Highest Customer Satisfaction Ratings in the Industry
If there’s anyone driven to earn money these days and not afraid to embrace the entrepreneurial spirit, it’s college students.
After receiving vigorous training from the College Works Painting program, a national enterprise launched in 1987 to encourage college students to earn valuable business skills, participating college students can do a bang-up job on your house painting project. A typical paint job involves the following services from College Works:
- Full area power wash prior to painting
- Trench along stucco/foundation perimeter of home (to bury the paint line)
- Scrape and power-sand all peeling paint areas
- Prime all bare wood
- Galvanized metal primer on all bare metal surfaces
- MoldAvenger biodegradable moss and mildew remover
- Wire-brush flaking and deteriorating stucco
- Stucco-patch large areas
- Caulk small cracks in stucco
- Caulk seams and fascia boards
- Only top grade & top brand paints are used
The prep work and painting job is not all you receive. College Works Painting uses only 100% Acrylic Paints from the top manufacturers like Kelly-Moore, Glidden, ICI, Sherwin Willams and Parker Paints. They carry full workers compensation coverage as well as $1,000,000 in liability insurance. You also get a 2 year guarantee. Compared with other contractors, you are getting a huge value.
Not only will you enjoy tremendous savings and a quality job, but College Works has one of the highest consumer satisfaction ratings in the industry.
The Costs
As a ball park figure, an average 3-bedroom, 2-bath home will cost around $2,000 to paint. When you’re trying to convince your wife to let College Works take over your “honey do” painting project, you can get a better idea of the cost by getting a free estimate. There are “standard” and “premium” levels of service available. The premium will deliver a six-year guarantee and other perks.
Help Wanted - Hiring College Students
College Works has been responsible for painting over 12,000 homes since 2006. It hires 2000+ college students every year. This is a huge opportunity for students who need some extra cash to pay for tuitions, room and board, and textbooks.
Working for College Works will create more than financial rewards. With its leadership internship programs, College Works Painting offers undergraduate students a unique opportunity to learn how to build a business, cultivate customer relationships, and build a results oriented team. Hands-on training and experience are critical for any student who wants to excel in “the real world.”
All Around Winners
Homeowners will save a lot of time, labor — and perhaps frustration — by hiring College Works Painting to handle their exterior paint jobs. And the student works will receive much needed funds, vigorous practical training as well as invaluable small business experience.
Find out why people are raving about the College Works painters by checking out the testimonials for homeowners and testimonials for students.
Thanks to College Works, the “honey do list” just got a lot shorter — and the job has probably been done a lot better!

So, you’ve just passed your driving test, what’s next. Many people relax and take no further training, but these are the people most at risk to crashing their car.
Pass Plus is a short course with no test that covers subjects such as motorways, bad weather, rush hour traffic and more.
In addition to the extra experience gained, most insurance companies will also give you a discount, normally working out at a year’s No Claims.
If you are looking for a driving school in Chelmsford that will do Pass Plus, the driving instructor who taught you for the driving test would be the best place. Failing that, speak to friends and family for recommendations, or by searching on the internet.

If you are a learner driver and either have a car, or know someone who’s willing to let you use theirs, it could be useful to practice with between your driving lessons.
First of all the rules:
1. You must display L-Plates clearly front and back.
2. You must have a valid signed provisional licence.
3. The car must be roadworthy, legal and insured for you to drive.
4. You must be supervised. This person must be over 21 and have held a licence for at least 3 years, and sit in a position where they could control the car if needed (front passenger seat is the sensible choice)
So, now you’re out on the road, you need to remember a few things. The person sat next to you has very little control over the car, which means you’ve got to be confident that you can stop the car in an emergency. Also, you supervising driver is not a driving instructor, so be careful if they are telling you to do things that go against what you have been taught.
This can be the tricky part, but a bit of diplomacy can help here. Best to choose the person carefully. They need to be fairly relaxed. What you don’t want is them grabbing for the wheel every time you go round a parked car. If you don’t feel comfortable with the person who’s supervising you, either ask someone else, or best not to go out at all.
Private practice can help many people with learning to drive, but it can also get you into bad habits, and make you less confident if something happens that you can’t deal with.
If your not sure, get some advice from your driving instructor.

So you need a driving test ASAP? Is there a shortcut? Unfortunately not. There’s no list you can be put on, or a special number for you to call. However there are things you can do to increase your chances.
First of all, speak to your driving instructor to make sure you are ready, and they are available for the times you were looking for. Next, book the earliest test you can, it makes it easier to look for an earlier date.
Bookings can be done online through the DSA website (Online Services), or by phoning the DSA on 0300 2001122 and listen to the recorded message.

Once you’ve got a test booked, the easiest way to get your earlier test is to go back to the DSA online services and navigate through to the ‘manage your practical test booking’ then ‘check a test’. You then enter your details and if memory serves, choose ‘look for an earlier date’. When you’ve got the dates and times in front of you, you can refresh the page for up to 30 mins, before you need to start again.
You can also check for earlier tests by phoning up the DSA in the same way you would to book a test, but it’s more time consuming, and adds to your phone bill.
For more information, or to ask a question have a look at this driving school website

With summer coming soon, many people start to think about learning to drive. If you can’t get a recommendation from a friend, the internet and phonebooks are normally the next in line
But, how do you choose someone who is fully qualified?
Firstly, they will have a certificate/badge displayed on the front windscreen of their tuition vehicle (this is a legal requirement, not doing it while charging for driving lessons is illegal). It will either be a green octagon if the instructor is fully qualified, or a red triangle if the person is a trainee instructor (valid for 6 months)
All registered driving instructors have to undergo rigorous training and examinations , they are also Criminal Records Bureau checked at the enhanced level to ensure the safety of you the pupil. Fully qualified ADIs ( approved driving instructors ) have regular checks by the Driving Standards Agency to ensure their level of instruction is up to the required standard. Unregistered illegal instructors do not have any of this.
Don’t be afraid to ask about your instructor qualifications, if they’re genuine, they will be more than happy to provide you with the information you require. If you are still not sure, the DSA have a database of all registered instructors, so a phone call should clear it up.
Also, don’t be afraid to change instructors if you don’t feel happy. Learning to drive should be enjoyable, if your instructor shouts or gets impatient with you, they’re not being professional.
Happy Learning!!

It is becoming totally unavoidable to find a decent well paid jobs these days that doesn’t require the use of a computer or at the very least a basic level of computing knowledge.But where can you find sensible computer training for beginners.

I was surfing Monster.com just last night and spotted a number of job opportunities that specified computer software training. If you stop to think about it, this is not bizarre in any way.
How many computers do you think there are in use on any given day? I would wager that there are quite a few. Imagine every company, business and home. This is how we go about our daily lives in the modern era of technology.
It’s all about software, hardware, and cyberspace. So you simply can’t have too much computer software training and sticking your head in the sand thinking this technology will go away is just plain irresponsible to your own self development.
The challenge for many people though is where would you go to attain computer training?
As an IT professional this subject comes up quite often in conversation and many people especially older people do not relish the thought of joining a class, because they might not be able to keep up with the younger generation.
This is a very valid point however,as the younger generation do tend to have been bought up with technology so they are far more comfortable with it from day one.
A good and often overlooked source of computer software training for beginners is of course your local computer repair professional. They will be able to help you get started and will be able to guide you on a one to one personal basis on the basics of computer software and using a Pc for a very reasonable fee.
Once you have the basics sorted then you can start to stretch your horizons a bit more and with new found confidence perhaps join a local class or even do some online computer training.
It’s simple now days because all the information you need regarding further courses and classes is available online. All you need is a personal computer and Internet connection and lets face it, most of us have that already even if we do not make too much use of it.
So there you have it! Whether you wish to further your personal skills or just wish to be more computer competent finding Computer software training for beginners is not so hard and you’ll be very pleasantly surprised because once you get started you’ll never look back.
