Using Ceiling Fans in Winter

When it gets cold, your ceiling fan can help.  Here in Michigan, we can use all the help we can get.  The recent cold weather burst reminds us that, to quote Game of Thrones, "Winter is Coming."  As Family Handyman reminds us, we can use our ceiling fans to help keep the house warmer and reduce those awful heating bills.  They were even kind enough to include a video.

How a Septic Tank Works

For many people,the most they know about septic tanks is that they do not want to empty them.  Still, if you have one (and many still do), then you need to have at least a basic understanding of how they operate.

Key tip: don't use a garbage disposal as they don't really help as much as you think.
