Lower EMF Laptops

When it comes to EMF reduction, using a wired internet connection and disabling WiFi is a great way to reduce the RF levels on your laptop. Many people don?t realize that large electric fields can also be present when using a laptop. The easiest way to significantly reduce electric fields is to make sure any laptop you purchase has a three-pronged power cord. High electric fields play a large part in feeling tired when working on a laptop for long periods of time. Check your laptop cord next time you use it and see if it has two or three prongs!

Yardwork Services

Services include lawn cutting, spring and fall cleanup of leaves, gardening, flower beds and weeding. As with all of our services we can provide as much or as little based on what you require. We can also do landscaping, pruning, trimming and edging as well. For landscaping work we look at what you require and will provide you with a rough price before we would go ahead with any work. As always if cost is a barrier we will work with you to overcome that barrier. During spring and fall we can also do outside window cleaning and eaves cleaning as well.
