There can be a lot of packing and sorting when moving out of your home. Most likely, home movers will come across a stack of unwanted bottles, cans and hazardous materials that you may want to throw away in the trash, yet doing so would be hazardous to the environment.
The schedule below is when and where you can easily and safely dispose of these environmentally hazardous materials, whether you are moving or doing your spring cleaning.
The 2009 Hazardous Waste Collection in Southeastern CT will take place on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the following locations:
For more information, contact the Southeastern CT Regional Resource Recovery Authority, 741 Flanders Road, Mystic CT (860) 536-6765. Call this telephone number to find out exactly what will be accepted at these collections or call the number for the town you live in at this web site: www.crra.org.

The anticipated airing of the story about the Girard Family's newly built home in Voluntown, CT will finally show TONIGHT. From December 4 - 11, 2008, eastern Connecticut had a lot going on with thousands of volunteers working to get this new home built with Ty, Paige, Michael, Ed and the rest of ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition crew.
At 8 p.m. (EST) this evening, I encourage everyone out there to get into some comfy clothing, grab some snacks and kick back to watch this heartfelt story about this very deserving family. You will also see how the community that I come from has come together in masses to reach out to this family in need, by helping to get this home built.

It's winter and it's cold! There are many houses on the market that are vacant, particularly homes that are in foreclosure, AND possibly, the utilities are turned off. Also, the plumbing systems are winterized in these homes. Rejoice in this because if they were not, then there would be a big mess of frozen pipes and damage to these homes.
You've been looking and have fallen in love with one of these ‘vacant-foreclosed-winterized-utilities turned off' homes so you have put in an offer AND it has been accepted. How sweet it is.
With your offer you've wisely decided to get the home inspected. This is an expense that you need to remember to budget for. It is important to be sure that all of the home's systems are up and running prior to the home inspection appointment. Make sure that:
And
Also, it is important to find out: Will any of this be at your expense? OR at the owners/bank‘s expense?
If so, then budget for this too.
Knowing these things before-hand will help with the process of purchasing of a home in foreclosure... in the winter.
Good luck and have fun shopping!

One of the wonders of living in New England is that we enjoy each season to the fullest. Right now we are experiencing the typical snowy time of the year.
Showing a home to buyers during this wondrous snowy time is best when a few extra steps are taken to clear that snow for access to the property. Driveways, walkways and steps need to be cleared so buyers can safely enter and view your home for sale.
If you can not remove the snow, try hiring someone to take care of snow removal. It is a smart idea to stay on top of this to be assured that all requests for showings from buyers can happen. Not only will this help to allow safe access to the home, it also may detour vandals from lurking - for it shows that the home is being watched over and maintained from the exterior.
In the summer months, mowing the lawn and maintaining the yard is done. It only makes sense to do the same during the winter months by maintaining the exterior with snow removal.
Don't worry, the snow will melt and it will warm up again soon here in New England.
Enjoy it while you can!

The Internet is a wonderful thing. It really had taken 'connecting with others' to a whole new world. (I would never have connected or reconnected with so many people if it wasn't for blogging and places like Twitter and Facebook).If you are looking to connect in the same ways as Twitter and Facebook AND wish to add the dimension of connecting in person, as in meetings and get togethers, try Meetup - "Use the Internet to get off the Internet."
Meetup's motto is: "Maybe it's time for a little less face-to-screen and a little more face-to-face." So if this is what you are looking for: Getting together in person to be social OR to belong to a supportive networking group that actually meets - then this place just may be for you. This is really is a nice an easy way to find people with common goals.
Meetup has information about groups that meet all around the world. Once you log onto this site, all you have to do is type in the the topic or interest you are looking for, the country you are from and if you live in the U.S. for example - type in the zip code of where you live. A search will be conducted within 25, 50, etc., or more miles of the zip code. Up will come all of the groups that meet on that topic in your area. If per chance there is not a group that suits your liking, start your own.
The possibilities are endless on who you can meet, socialize, network and build relationships with.
Here are just some of the groups that I found in my area on Meetup:
...And there are SO many more... Have fun checking out Meetup.com!

In the same day you can go to one of the most beautiful beaches in the country -- along Long Island Sound. Then in the evening -- you can go out to dinner at one of the most fabulous Casinos in the world.
Living in Connecticut allows for one to experience the wonder of the changing seasons.
All of this is what living in Eastern Connecticut is all about.
