Ranoli's Blog March 23, 2010 The Power of my Work I love my job! Each day is different and exciting. Some days I comment on a home's physical condition, others I work with clients helping them create homes that support their lives. A tread seems to be developing this month, my clients are realizing the connection between their healing and the role their home plays in that healing. The tread involves the understanding that a client works on removing the looping tapes or messages in their heads- I'm not safe in my world, I can release weight, I deserve a lover relationship. Now here's the cool part, the client realizes that that same looping tape or message is running in their home making it difficult for them to fully and completely release the past programming. I get so excited. Harnessing a home's energy to work on your behalf is powerful and sometimes it's the final piece to healing an issue. Think about it, science tells us everything is energy and all energy has intelligence. That intelligent energy is working in my home and life and it is either working for me or against me. It's attracting those thoughts and beliefs that gave it life. Sometimes in a home that intelligent energy is made up of the last occupants thoughts and emotions and it impacts my ability to heal and manifest. The fun part, it's all easy to reprogram. Just like your computer, you can do a clean install and upgrade the system software in your home. I love this work, it's so different and each day it presents something new. The best part is hearing the client's excitement as their life changes.     Add new comment All fields are required.

If a flat roof does it require tar flashing maintenance, are the seams lifting requiring more tar? If you have a flat roof with pebbles - do you have exposed tar requiring more pebbles? Are your asphalt shingles curling? Do your wood shingles have raised staples, are you missing any shingles or are your shingles cupping? Are all roof protrusions in good working order and sealed? Is the chimney clean with a screen on the top of the chimney preventing animals from entering? Are your gutters leaking, do they require cleaning, are your gutters flashed properly to the roof? Are the downspouts firmly attached to the gutters and do they extend from the home at least 3 feet? How's the foundational grade? Will water flow away from the house or will it settle against the foundation? How are your trees and bushes? Do they require trimming? Do you need to caulk around the windows, doors, siding or trim? Does your house need painting? Is your brickwork in need of tuck point maintenance? Are there cracks in your stucco? Do you have broken windows, doors or screens? Inspect your wood deck or wood fence for deterioration or sealing. Are your electrical wires high enough, are your exterior outlets covered with an outdoor rated junction box, and are the outlets rated as GFCI's? Do your exterior lights work and do you have enough of them? Do you have cracks in your driveway or cement walkways that would fill with rain or snow melt? When the snow freezes it will further the cracking and deterioration. Does your sprinkler system work correctly are all the sprinkler heads working or are they blocked by grass? If you have a pool or hot tub when were the filters last replaced? Interior: When did you last change the batteries in your smoke detectors or your carbon monoxide detector? Do you have to caulk your tub to tile joints; tile-to-tile joints? Are your grout lines in good and sealed condition? Do your exhaust fans work in the kitchens and bathrooms? When did you last clean your dryer vent? Are your stair handrails secure to the wall? When did you last change your furnace filter? You should change it each month you use either the furnace or the air conditioner. When did you last service your air conditioner, boiler, furnace, evaporative cooler, or hot water heater? Do you have any water leaks around your hot water heater, under your sinks or tubs? Does your toilet rock or move around? Do you have any evidence of water entering the basement? Look around the walls of your basement for any signs of past leaking or wall damage. Do you have mold? Not all mold is black, some mold is white or iridescent. When did you last clean the filter to your kitchen exhaust fan? Do you have termites, or any other insects or animals that have penetrated into your home? If you have a septic system when did you last empty it? If you have a well when was the last time you had the system inspected and the water tested? How does your overhead garage door opener work? Does the chain rattle? When did you last check the condition of the rubber hoses supplying water to the washing machine? Are all your garage and household chemicals secured from children and pets? Are all window covering cords secured from small children and pets? If you have a crawl space is it dry is the ventilation working properly? If you have a sump pit or ejector pit with a pump are the pumps working properly? If you have a radon mitigation system did you have your annual radon test performed? These are just some of the things that require annual or bi annual inspection. I tend to do my house inspection when I change my clocks; it only takes a few minutes and usually saves me money as I catch maintenance repairs before they become big expensive repairs.   Add new comment All fields are required.

The phone of course is awesome, but it's the case I want to talk about. As a holistic home inspector I find myself on roofs, ladders, construction sites and crawl spaces. Environments that are not a cell phones friend. I routinely drop my phone, sometimes from a ladder and often times onto a cement surface. My cell phone case needed to be strong, ultra protective and stylish. As I explained my needs to the sales rep at the AT&T store, he just smiled, removed his Iphone from his belt clip and threw it with all his might right at the floor. I've never been so shocked in my life by a product demo as I was in that moment. He threw it with force right at the floor, smiled and picked it up and asked me if that would provide me the protection I was looking for. Needless to say, I purchased the cover and installed it on my phone. I have loved my Otter Box plastic and silicone defender series phone case. It's amazing, no fear when I drop my phone I know it's protected. Now here's the really great part. The outer silicone case became a little loose on the hard plastic shell. I called the company and Katie answered. She was amazing in her customer care. No questions asked she set me up to receive a new silicone cover and a new replacement belt clip just in case. She was kind, courteous and professional in a helpful kind of way. I can't remember the last time I experienced that level of customer care. The case sold me the customer care will be keep me loyal to this company. I love my Otter Box defender case and I highly recommend it. Check out their website, www.otterbox.com , they have cases for smart phones, iPods, armbands, waterproof cases and other protective cases for handheld toys. I love this company and it's product, I bet you will too. Add new comment All fields are required.
