Ensuring You Have Proper Roof Ventilation
Looking after your roof
A well cared for roof lasts much longer than a roof that is left to
it's own devices. By spotting problems early on you can save
yourself a lot of heartache and extra cost from big problems. Your
roof is responsible for taking the damage from everything that the

Hi Amy. Good thing you mentioned about flu. I've read millions are already infected by H1N1. Thousands died already.
Anyways, when you found out about the safest/safer disinfectant, let me know. Would definitely try your recommendation.
Thanks My Friend.

The only things that kill bacteria and viruses are heat and natural and/or chemical toxins. Laboratories keep them for decades in sub-zero temps in order to study them later. Air your house, wash your hands frequently, disinfect what you can & hope for the best.***

IS THAT YOUR HOUSE?? LOVE IT. ALL I KNOW IS WE TRY AND CIRCULATE AIR BY USE OF CEILING FANS AND OR WINDOWS OPEN, WEATHER PERMITTING OF COURSE. . AND KEEPING ALL AIR FILTERS CHANGED AND CLEAN. AND I HEAR GETTING YOUR AIR DUCKS CLEANED EVERY SO MANY YEARS IS ANOTHER GOOD WAY TO KEEP HEALTHY TOO. AND EVERY AREA HAS DIFFERENT THINGS GOING ON DEPENDING ON THE PLACE/CLIMATE ONE LIVES IN.....OCEAN SIDES HAVE OCEAN MIST AND FOG CAN CAUSE MOLDS . AND WATER DAMAGE IN ANY HOME AREAS CAN CAUSE HEALTH CONCERNS TOO. ALWAYS A GOOD SPRING CLEANING AND HOUSE CHECKS ARE GOOD THINGS TO DO. WELL HAVE A GREAT DAY , MUCH LOVE CASY XOXOXOX
