WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

and foremost, the material he uses to build these beautiful additions to your home is made out of aluminum. That means it won’t burn, get termites, crack, peel, warp or rot. You don’t have to cut down any trees, and each component of your patio cover is engineered to assemble with flawless fit and finish. You can’t believe it when you see it; it really looks like wood.

A Place in the Shade The calendar says Summer is right around the corner, yet 2011 seems to be bringing us unpredictable weather patterns. Still, those of us who live in the East County know that the inevitable hot Summer days are right around the corner so it’s time to get things ready for the heat. What a great time to look in on a local business that can help us do just that.

After wandering around their store, I went home and got on the web to see some of the actual work they have done. I highly recommend you check out their web site at www.brightideadesigncenter.com and take the same tour I took. You can design any kind of covering or enclosure you want. They have A-frame, lattice, and free-standing, full enclosures and covers built side by side. I can’t believe what a difference it makes to your home. Many of those beautiful backyards that you see while playing golf on the three courses of Brentwood are the work of Bright Ideas.

Mark Sargent, owner of Bright Ideas Design Center, has been in business since 1995. The design center is located at 5085 Lone Tree Way in Antioch. I peeked in to take a look around and was greeted by their friendly staff. This was really a nice touch to be able to talk to someone who knew so much about the business without a huge sales pitch. Mark prides himself in offering the best customer service possible and it clearly shows when the staff delivers that same message.

Their ad says “Let It Rain…Let it Shine…

We’ve got you covered. Since the backyard parties are just around the corner, I can’t think of a better way to bring a little bit of shade to your back yard. It is just beautiful when it is done, and with our temperatures reaching the 100 mark in the summer,

I learned that his specialty is Alumawood Patio Covers and Patio Enclosures. First

Tree Service... Done Right!

So Mark, thanks for taking such good care of our East County residents and giving them the service they deserve. The secret shopper gives you five rays of sunshine for giving East County a great place to find their place in the shade. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

Bright Ideas Design Center is located at 5085 Lone Tree Way in Antioch. They can be contacted at 925-978-1800.

I asked a few questions about this remarkable Alumawood product, like does it dent, how long does it take, what kind of warrantee do they offer and do I need to get a permit? It doesn’t usually dent, but will be replaced if it happens.

They receive weekly shipments and can usually install in one to three days. The ten year limited warrantee covers the paint from peeling, cracking or warping.

And finally, you do need to get a permit, but they take care of all the paperwork for you. Now my only question to you is what are you waiting for? This is the perfect time to look for the Bright Ideas Design Center ad right here in the Monthly Grapevine and give them a call.

PRUDENTIAL REALTY

Moving With Children Moving is an exciting time full of commotion that can be tough on everyone, including the children. The impact the move will have on kids usually is age-related. Babies and toddlers tend to deal well. Young children will have some difficulty with moving, while adolescents may resist and often resent the move. Children of all ages are very intuitive and will usually know what is going on around them or have a pretty good idea.

It is important to discuss it with them so they have the facts instead of letting their imagination fill in the blanks. Here are a few timeless tips that may help all families on the move: • Clearly explain why you’re moving.

Children like to be in the loop and talking to them about the move, what it means and what it will entail can help limit move-related anxiety.

Moving Babies & Toddlers - Babies and toddlers typically are easy to move, but they also can become confused or scared.

Consider the following tips for them:

Moving Adolescents - Adolescents are deeply involved in their social network.

Child development experts suggest these kids receive news of the move as soon as possible. They will need more time to get used to idea and to say good-bye to their friends. Some other tips to consider:

• Pack their rooms last and as close to moving day as possible. Keep favorite toys and other must-haves close at hand.

• Spend time together getting to know the new school and surrounding area by driving around.

• Try to stick to the established routines like lunchtime and naptime.

• Once in the new house, young children may need to be reminded about which household appliances are dangerous and other safety precautions or rules they learned at the previous house.

• If your child is a senior in high school, some child-development experts suggest letting the child stay behind to finish the school year.

These experts emphasize that this decision only makes sense if your child’s living conditions will be appropriate and safe.

Moving Preschoolers & School-Age Children - Kids this age can get excited about moving and may be eager to help.

If you’re moving with school-age children, consider the following tips:

Moving is an exciting time when families tend to work together to make sure the adventure goes smoothly. Your real estate professional has helped many families move and is a great resource for more information about moving with children.

• Let the children help pack their own rooms and once you’re in the new house, let them help decorate and arrange their new rooms.

• Familiarize the children with the new location by providing them with exciting information about the area.

TIMELY FEATURE ARTICLE

Vehicle gas caps – About 17 percent of the vehicles on the roads have gas caps that are either damaged, loose or are missing altogether, causing 147 million gallons of gas to vaporize every year.

Fuel Savings Tips as Gas Prices Soar With gas prices exceeding four dollars a gallon in many parts of the country, the Car Care Council is offering gas-saving maintenance and driving tips that really work. Record gas prices make it the perfect yime to “Be Car Care Aware.”

“Millions of dollars worth of gasoline is wasted every day by motorists, because simple and inexpensive vehicle maintenance is neglected,” said Rich White, executive director of the Car Care Council. “Loose or missing gas caps, under-inflated tires, worn spark plugs and dirty air filters all contribute to poor fuel economy.”

The Car Care Council offers these fuel-saving tips:

Under inflated tires – When tires aren’t inflated properly it’s like driving with the parking brake on and can cost a mile or two per gallon.

Worn spark plugs – A vehicle can have either four, six or eight spark plugs, which fire as many as 3 million times every 1,000 miles, resulting in a lot of heat and electrical and chemical erosion. A dirty spark plug causes misfiring, which wastes fuel.

Spark plugs need to be replaced regularly.

Dirty air filters – An air filter that is clogged with dirt, dust and bugs chokes off the air and creates a “rich” mixture – too much gas being burned for the amount of air, which wastes gas and causes the engine to lose power. Replacing a clogged air filter can improve gas mileage by as much

MAKE PAYMENTS ON DEDUCTIBLE!

as 10 percent, saving about 15 cents a gallon.

Fuel-saving driving tips include: Don’t be an aggressive driver – Aggressive driving can lower gas mileage by as much as 33 percent on the highway and 5 percent on city streets, which results in 7 to 49 cents per gallon.

Avoid excessive idling – Sitting idle gets zero miles per gallon. Letting the vehicle warm up for one to two minutes is sufficient.

Observe the speed limit – Gas mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. Each mph driven over 60 will result in an additional 10 cents per gallon. To maintain a constant speed on the highway, cruise control is recommended.

Some of the above statistics were gathered from a U.S. Department of Energy Web site, www.fueleconomy. gov.

Our purpose is to encourage interest in gardening through education and the beautification of the community. The mission of DIG is donating garden books, tapes and videos to the local library, providing scholarships to local students, hosting informational speakers and participating in the community gardening projects.

Our annual fundraiser/plant sale consists of 10,000 plants.

(Annuals and perennials, flowers, trees, herbs, tomatoes, cacti and succulents. These are all grown by the members propagating what we have planted.) For more information call Leslie Servin (925)634-4088 or Radzap@aol.com.
