-We approved to go as green as we can. We’ll star to switch to green ice melt that would be better for all our pets.

If you have some pasta water to spare, do not hesitate to throw it away on any weeds!

-We cannot change the plumbing for the complex just repair it. The boiling system is inspected twice a year. One system is 6 years old and the other one is 14 years old.
