Weekend Round-up: Tire Check, Rug Giveaway, BH&G Contest

Another weekend is here. And I thought I’d put together a few things that I’ve come across recently that are worth checking out.

Tire Check

I’ve seen a few posts recently reminding people to check their tire pressure. It’s important that all your tires are set to manufacturers’ specifications. Low pressure causes poor gas mileage and noone wants to pay more for gas these days. Setting your pressure too high is also a bad idea. Aside from potentially blowing-out a tire, friction is what keeps you on the road. I went over to a local Shell station this morning. They have a free air station equipped with a pressure gauge. I check the recommended psi on my tires and pumped them up accordingly. It could be in my head, but my car definitely seemed to be moving around better.

Rug Giveaway

Another blog I frequent is hosting a rug giveaway. This caught my eye because when the hardwoods are installed we’ll need to cover a few spaces with area rugs. And winning a rug is much more fun than buying a rug. Check out all the details at Aimee’s blog here.

Better Homes & Gardens Contest

Better Homes & Gardens has a full page ad about an annual contest. It reads, “Considering a home improvement project? Now is the time to put those plans into action and enter to win”. The grand prize winner will receive $40,000 cash and their project featured in BH&G. They have several categories like kitchen, bath, renovation, green improvement, and many more. Each category winner will also receive a cash prize. For more info check it out here.

Well that’s all for this week. Hope your projects are going well. Adios!
