Turns for Troops

Turns for Troops
In this year's Indy Car season, United Rentals teamed up with SoldierStrong to help improve the lives of men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Through their Turns for Troops program, United Rentals was committed to donating $50 for every lap Graham Rahal, driver of the #15 Honda, completes during the 2017 IndyCar season to SoldierStrong.

Since 2009, SoldierStrong has been getting our nation's military heroes back on their feet. They saw that soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan lacked some basic essentials – namely tube socks and baby wipes, cherished items in the harsh deserts of the Middle East. By providing state-of-the-art rehabilitation technology and education programs to veterans across the country. They quickly moved into action and began working with local businesses and other organizations around Stamford, Connecticut. Sock drives and fundraising events were held, and word got around. Partnerships with Cablevision, Sports Illustrated, ConAir and Newman’s Own grew and did not stop there. Quite a few of schools and universities, churches, and other civic organizations joined in.

As the Afghanistan and Iraq wars were wound down, their dedication to helping soldiers abroad grew. SoldierStrong was now focused on helping them thrive here at home. Their endeavor grew beyond sock drives to scholarships. And then partnering with cutting-edge rehabilitation technology companies to literally get our heroes “back on their feet.”
While they have left sock drives and care packages behind to tackle new challenges, SoldierStrong remains committed to its founding principles: providing our patriots with the resources and support they need to overcome obstacles new and old. SoldierStrong is now partnered with some of the country’s most advanced medical technology firms. They make their products accessible to our returning veterans, and one of those projects that are changing lives is the SoldierSuit. The SoldierSuit components help their recipients live fulfilling, empowered lives long after their service to our country is over.

Tired of Mass Marketed Crops

Tired of Mass Marketed Crops Are you getting weary of going to the supermarket and getting lackluster vegetables? The tomatoes are watery. All of the produce is tasteless and overpriced. There has to be a better place to get your produce. Perhaps a farmers market. The produce at farmers markets do indeed have a higher quality, but the price is that it is really not an economic solution. The best solution to get the best produce at the most affordable rate is to simply grow your own crops. If you were to have your own garden, then you would be able to grow the freshest produce possible and have an abundance every season. These vegetables will quite possibly be very flavorful, chemical free, and since the crops reproduce themselves, your garden will pay for itself in no time. How to Grow your Own Garden To produce your own garden is a lot of work, but it is really a labor of love. You will find the work you spend in the garden rewarding in many different levels. But first thing...

The Trusty Septic Tank

The Trusty Septic Tank Anyone who leaves out in the country is very familiar with the septic tank. The septic tank is your plumbing system. How does a septic tank work? Well, essentially you have the plumbing run from your house to the septic tank through a large PVC pipe. Depending on the size of your home you may have to have two septic tanks that are connected through the same pipe system. On the septic tank there is an inlet where the waste goes in, and an outlet that allows for the excess waste to flow out so that the septic tank does not overflow. This out-going waste travels down another PVC pipe that has holes in to allow the liquid waste to escape into the earth, and as such, provide nutrients for the soil. In order to help break down the larger waste, you will add a bacteria that actually eats down the large waste.

Need Storage Space?

Need Storage Space? Are you in the middle of a project or are you about to move and need a temporary place to store things in between the move? If you answer yes to either of these, then you’re facing a peculiar situation. For example, if you are in the middle of a project, you don’t want to leave your tools and equipment out to get damaged by the elements. Or if you’re in the middle of a move, you’re not sure what’s going to go into permanent storage or what’s going to go to the new house, so you need a temporary place to store items.

A Storage Unit that is Right for You No matter the situation, you are going to need a storage unit that fits all of your materials and tools.
