Storing Your Motorhome Awning
Sep 10th, 2009 by whaleadmin

Travelling around with an awning in tow can cause some storage problems. The bigger the awning, the more space it will take up, and the extra weight can also mean higher fuel costs if you travel long distances every week. If you have to store them inside your motorhome there will be less room for other things you may really need to take.

The solution is to buy yourself a storage box that can be fitted to the outside of your vehicle. Some of these go on the roof, and the retractable designs can be placed on the side gutter rail. Most motorhome awnings come with the storage box ready to use, so it is just a case of attaching it. Get a dealer to do this for you if possible, they should be more than happy to help.

There is a huge market out right now of people looking for information on how to purchase used fishing kayaks. I have a few tips for you, that will hopefully help you along your way, and help you land the next boat of your dreams. When you are looking at sit on top kayaks, make sure there aren’t any cheap repair jobs, where the previous owner has melted plastic over a hole or crack in an attempt to get it to stop leaking. These never work. Next, look around the seams to see if any may be splitting, or have visible damage. When you drop a fishing kayak on its nose, it will likely break the seams, causing the boat to leak as well. Read our article on how to purchase used fishing kayaks for a better idea.

Teak: the Perfect Patio Furniture
Aug 25th, 2009 by whaleadmin

When shopping for outdoor dining sets, you are faced with a lot of choices.  It is often tempting to go with the cheapest ones, usually made of plastic, or the metal ones that would appear to be the most durable.  If you consider both longevity and beauty, however, you should look no further than teak outdoor dining furniture.

Buying wooden tables and chairs for your deck or patio may worry you.  You have probably heard horror stories of rot, decay, warping and more.  Teak is naturally resistant to all of these problems, however, and will only require a simple annual cleaning and a bit of oil to maintain its inherent beauty.

A tropical hardwood, teak will hold up under the harshest conditions, lending its warm, glowing color to your outdoor gatherings for many years to come.  In fact, there is a good chance that your teak furniture will outlive you, becoming a family heirloom.

With this type of lifespan, the relatively high price tag for a teak dining set looks less daunting when you consider how often you will have to replace cheap plastic furniture over time.  So, before settling for the lowest price, think again.  Going with teak may be the best investment you could make for your outdoor entertainment space.

Jul 26th, 2009 by whaleadmin

The price of air mattresses has come down considerably over the past decade. Now a good one doesn’t even need to cost you more than $60. I know this is hard to believe but just go to your local Walmart and take a look. You will realize that you can get a bargain on a good air mattress. There’s no two ways around it. This is the best deal going as long as you make use of it by sleeping guests or going camping. Make sure that you read the label detailing mattress sizes so that you pick the right one for you. For example you may want to go with a king size if you are thinking about making it your permanent bed. That is just a thought to consider when making this ultra important purchase. I would tend to trust the brand that has been around the longest.

To Bee or Not to Bee

Most hobbies you have to pay to do, but after the initial investment, you can actually make a nice sideline income from beekeeping.  Beekeeping is a hobby that many people enjoy.  Bees are interesting, and they produce honey and beeswax, both of which are highly marketable.

Keeping bees will get you outside for a couple of hours a month, and since bees go dormant in the winter, once the hive is prepared to winter over, you won’ t need to touch it again till spring.

To keep bees you will need some specialized equipment.  To start out you will need to find a honey bees hive for sale, a beekeeper suit, and a smoker.  If you are ambitious you can actually build your own beehive.  But whatever equipment you buy, make sure you also buy a book or take a course, so you know what you are doing.

Happy beekeeping!
