Image Source: http://freephotoforblog.jyppe.com/

Having a hard time dealing with your supplier of construction materials? Well, you’re not alone! Recently I experienced the same matter. I was going to buy supplies for our house renovation and I didn’t know where to start. I just need some cement, steels and sand and gravel for our front yard so I didn’t call any professional for the help. I think me and my dad can handle it. But the case does not fall the way as we expected.

After a half day of touring the market, here’s what we learned.

1. You should ask for discounts

You must ask each supplier whether they give you discounts. You are the customer so at least act like one and get benefits. The suppliers probably won’t complain harshly (but in a nice way I guess?) though if you just buy a couple of pieces, don’t be surprised to get a no. We are to buy couple of supplies so I expect at least five percent discount.

Just ask. There’s nothing to lose.

2. You should expect free delivery

Many suppliers will do the instant delivery with no charge, Make sure that they will do the delivery, and if not, how much is the cost? (I don’t want to bring the sand myself haha).

Just beware of what some called “sidewalk delivery”. This is a familiar concept to apartment dwellers; it means that your giant new washing machine will be delivered as far as the sidewalk – even if you laundry area is on the second floor. That may (or may not) be acceptable to you, but if it is, you’ll need to know when trucks is coming and arrange for the manpower to bring the supplies inside.

3. Your supplies must be at home on time

When ordering materials, you must consult often with the supplier regarding the schedule of delivery. There is a little point in having material piled at the work site waiting to be used, since the sooner you get them home, the sooner you have to pay them.

On the other hand, you need to be sure that supplies are available when they are needed in order to keep the job on schedule. If the materials are not yet on the site, work will quickly come to a halt.

With these tips, my dad and I got the job done the next day. We save 10% on expenses, we have the materials on time and the delivery was just great! Check out TKL if you need construction supplies.

5 Ways to Encourage Your Kids to Wear Glasses

http://eyesitetexas.com/ Finding the correct and comfortable eyeglass frames for your kid might be the least of your problems if they won’t even try to wear it. Unlike shirts and pants, glasses are very imposing and need a lot of getting used to being literally right in front of your face. But instead of nagging them to keep on wearing their glasses or else they’ll go blind, encourage them instead so that they’d want to wear glasses on their own accord. Make Them Choose Their Own Frames Not only does your kid get to choose actual eyeglass frames he wants to wear, you are also letting him exercise his independence. In letting him choose on his own, and letting him reason out the decision for himself, he will be more likely to wear his glasses to compound on this independence. Remind But Don’t Nag There will be instances where you see your kid not wearing their glasses—do not rage on them. They might have forgotten without intention or tried to not put them on but either w
