Fire and burglar resistant safes come in several models and price ranges. A fireproof safe is far easier to come by than a safe that can bungle a thief.

Fire, flood and theft safe document storage for your valuable papers is an important consideration, as they cannot be replaced easily if catastrophe strikes. There is no one option offering complete document protection. Make copies and store in different locations, and be sure to house them in a fireproof safe or storage box, hidden in locations recommended by local fire and police officials.

Wet dry vacuums have become multi purpose equipment. Now quieter, rust free, and tough, wet and dry vacuum cleaners offer a host of useful attachments and can even pump out the water they collect.
A wet dry vacuum is a fairly simple machine, with minimal moving parts. This comparison chart may help you decide which wet and dry vacuum cleaner to bring home.
Hurricane and tornado storms look for the weakest links in your home. Fight back by strengthening your next home with metal connectors that tie your roof and walls to the foundation.
