Don’t give fast quotes

Be careful about giving fast quotes. Unless you have so much profit in the jobs that you do that you can afford it, estimating by square footage is a big mistake. If you are going to someone’s home to look at a large project such as, a kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, room addition – something that’s larger and has a lot of variables that will affect the pricing – don’t just shoot off a number to your customer right then and there. It gives off a very false sense.  If someone gives me a nice round number bid of $5000 just like that – I know immediately that they do not know what their talking about.

This is most of the time. If I have a plumber come over and I say how much is it to repair that hose bib, and he tells me $295 -- this is something I would expect from a plumber. It’s a simple job, they should be able to give me a price immediately.  Something that would involve pouring concrete, digging trenches, running new plumbing pipes, or framing a building, it doesn’t make sense to. You can’t just rattle off a price unless you were completely making it up.

This is not a good way to conduct business.  It looks better to tell your customers that you need time to look at the plans, figure it out, and wrap your mind around it. Even if you are not going to spend too much time on their project, it still looks better to give them a price for a larger job a few days later.  It will give them the impression that you do know what you are doing.  You are not going to be lying to them, it may seem deceptive, but you’re not going to be lying because you did spend some time on it. You took it home, opened it up, wrote a number down and shut.

Staying in healthy in today’s society can be hard to maintain

Staying in healthy in today’s society can be hard to maintain. Don’t worry; you’re not the only one. We try new ideas everyday to keep our bodies fit, some work, some may not. But one should be implemented everyday. Drink water, enough to keep your body hydrated during the day. Water is essential to keeping our bodies fit and contain many health benefits. Since about 60% of our body is made out of water, drinking water is crucial to stay as healthy as possible. Water is used to flush out bad toxins out of the body organs such as our kidneys and carries important nutrients to all our cells. If you’re not drinking enough water, it can lead to dehydration, which can lead to many problems with the body. It’s important to refill your body with water especially since you lose water by breathing, sweating and going to the bathroom throughout the day. Best way to regain the lost water supply is to drink beverages and foods that contain water. Doctors recommend to drink eight 8 ounces of water, which is easy to remember and to keep track of. Depending on how active you are, depends on how much water intake you should have. When exercising, you sweat, so you should drink more water to compensate for the amount loss during exercising. Being outside in hot and humid climate can make you very dehydrated as well. So next time you’re outside when its hot out, bring some water with you to stay hydrated. Also, being sick with a fever can severely dehydrate you because you lose fluids. Drinking water is not the only way to get your supplemented amount of water; certain foods contain enough water to keep you hydrated. A lot of fruits and vegetables such as watermelon and spinach contain a significant amount of water to keep you hydrated. To avoid dehydration, drink a glass of water during and between every meal. It is actually possible to drink too much water, so be careful. But this is very rare in people who keep a fit diet. Best way to keep up with your water intake is to carry around a Brita water bottle where you can refill the bottle and drink clean water. So, remember replace that can of soda with a bottle of water.

Ever wonder where the most rare fishes in the world are located.

Ever wonder where the most rare fishes in the world are located. Some locations are in some of the most beautiful locations in the world. If you’re an adventurer and are seeking some exotic places to catch rare fish, then this is for you. Starting off in the Congo River Basin in Africa, Goliath Tigerfish is the rare fish of this location. The Tigerfish is a resident all throughout the African continent, specifically Goliath is found in the Congo River. They are a very popular fish mainly because of their strength to fight of predators, and can be up to five feet in length. The Goliath Tigerfish is strictly known for having horrid attitudes in the water. Tiger Fishes not only attack other predators but also humans as well, so tread lightly around these vicious predators. Next stop is the Indo-Pacific Ocean, Northern Australia, where Freshwater Sawfish reside. These monstrous fish reach nearly 400 pounds and up to 20 feet in length. They also have a snout, which is a row of teeth, which can grow up to a few feet long. Since these species are endangered, you have to consult with local laws when fishing for them. Freshwater Sawfish mainly stay in the ocean waters but can sometimes be spotted up by rivers. 

On to Rio de la Plata Basin, South America, where Golden Dorado is the fish of choice. Surprisingly, the Golden Dorado is considered its own species. If you’re lucky enough to catch a Dorado, you’re in luck. They are one of the tastiest fishes in the world and weigh anywhere from 5-60 pounds. But be aware that the Golden Dorado is limited in its availability around the waters. In the United States, specifically in Mahoning Creek, Pennsylvania, Palomino Trout is the rarity specie. The palomino trout is a very rare rainbow trout with a golden color. They mostly reside in eastern United States, but particularly, Mahoning Creek. These trout’s weigh up 14 pounds and are very rare, so don’t expect it to be easy to fish for them. One of the best freshwater fish in the world is Papuan Black Bass found in Papa New Guinea. Some may think Papa New Guinea is not a top fishing but contrary to belief, it is. The Papuan Black Mass is one of the hardest species to catch even if you’re an advanced fisher due to the massive strength of the fish. Next time, you’re looking for a top-notch fishing adventure; check out these locations for some of the rarest species in the world.

On November 11th, the United States will celebrate National Veteran’s Day

On November 11th, the United States will celebrate National Veteran’s Day in remembrance of the brave souls who gave and lost their lives in war. Our freedom is due to their heroic encounters all throughout history. Alex Figliolia Jr, a philanthropist and businessman, is most dedicated in alleviating the troubles our veterans face when are introduced back into reality. A majority of the time, our veterans slide back into reality with wounds that are unforgettable and are hard for everyone else to understand. Some of these unforgettable wounds include missing, stress, depression, PTSD disorder and extremities. Since they serviced us throughout history, Alex Figliolia Jr. has obligated in raising alertness and money for our wounded veterans alongside their families by guaranteeing to match a $20,000 contribution. His contribution is implemented to assist the Wounded Warrior Project whose strict mission is to pay homage to Wounded Warriors around the country. Wounded Warrior Project has a bold goal to promote the biggest and most effective right-minded generation of wounded veterans in the history of country. Alex Figliolia Jr. is inspiring 1000 people to donate just $20 to Wounded Warrior Project from the start of Veteran’s Day, November 11th and finishes on December 11th and Alex Figliolia Jr. will match any donation. Wounded Warrior Project offers an abundance of integrated programs for veterans and their families to rehabilitate themselves and I totally free of charge. To keep these programs running smoothly, every dollar raised is saved up to fund the programs. To get on board and start donating, visit Alex Figliolia Jr.’s Wounded Warrior Project page, Alex Figliolia Jr. 20 K for Veterans Day Donation Match in Support of Wounded Veterans. Every donation is valued greatly and will have a lasting effect on our veterans.
