It been a little while since the last post and I wanted to share what has been going on around the place here. In addition to the website, we now have an actual store. Better yet, it is open to the public. Stop by and say hi sometimes. Sales have been picking up. This month we are on track to doubling, possibly tripling last months number. That itself is always good news.
Time for a little fun in the sun. Being about halfway into the summer, what kind of fun stuff have you done? The California State Fair is in full swing here. Lots of energy and excitement from that. Share some stories and will post some of them.
Till next time

Preventative Maintenance
It has been awhile since my last posting and I do appologize for that. There has been a lot of excitmenet the last few weeks. One thing that I want to talk about today is preventative maintenance. Preventative maintenance is one way to make sure your appliances will keep working when you need them to. Like any mechanical device, they can sometimes fail no matter what you do. A little attention on a consistent basis will tip the odds in your favor. The following is a few basic things that doesn't require calling out a technician.
Make sure your washer and dryer are level. Try rocking them back and forth, left and right. If they move, the legs needs to be adjusted. A rocking washer or dryer causes premature wear and tear.
Use a washing machine cleaner. Using too much detergent can cause a build up of residue in your washing machine. This residue can become sticky and/or create an odor. This can also happen if you use the wrong type of detergent as well. Affresh makes a tablet that you simply drop in your washer and run it through a cycle or two depending on the build up and odor. It breaks up the gunk and helps make sure your washer works well.
Use a dishwasher cleaner. Just like a washer, using too much or the wrong type of detergent can cause a residue build up. It can also cause spotting on your dishes. Affresh makes a tablet that you place in the dish washer and run through a normal cycle. It breaks up the residue and helps keeps you dishwasher clean. Hard water can cause a build up as well. There are a variety of different types of cleaner to help with that as well.
Ice Machine Cleaner. Again, hard water can cause issues here as well. Mineral build up can affect how well you ice machine works. There are a variety of cleaners that can be used.
With any chemical cleaner, be it a liquid, gel, or a tablet, it is crucial that all directions are followed. If it says to run two cycles, then run two cycles. Clean up any spills promptly. By maintaining your appliances on a consistant basis will go a long ways to insuring they will work when you need them to.

This morning, a blanket of fog has covered the area. Visibility was rather limited. It can be scary driving through thick fog. Sometimes, that how people feel when it comes to fixing their appliance. It doesn't need to be scary or intimidating. A lot of folks have never done anything like it before and naturally they are apprehensive. Here are some tips to help you get through your first repair job:
1.) Take your time and allow yourself time to accomplish the task.
2.) Get your tools out ahead of time. Many tasks can be fixed with a Phillips and Flathead screw driver, pliers and a socket set.
3.) Take some notes along the way to help you reassemble everything.
There is a great feeling of pride and confidence after your first repair job. Use that confidence to help grow your skills and abilities. Soon that fog and apprehension over fixing an appliance will lift away.
