Enough to bring a man to tears

This weekend was the first time I saw a friend of mine cry, a grow man tear-ing up in front of about a dozen of us. I’ve known this guy since high school, so we will just call him “John” to spare his feelings. John and his wife where having a house warming party over the weekend and they were so excited to have all of their closest friends over for a few drinks.

The evening was going pretty well and everyone was having a great time, the house looked great and John and his wife where showing off all of the new decorations and furniture they had just bought. John was especially proud of his new Samsung LED flat screen TV, It was pretty amazing it actually connected to the internet and was very thin; I admit I was a bit jealous.

 As the night progressed we all decided to play a few games in the living room and mind you we had been drinking for a few hours now so the crowd was getting a bit rowdier than usual and charades was getting pretty intense. 

One of our friends was up making everyone guess what his word was when he stumbled backwards…right into Johns brand new flat screen TV. Everyone jumped at once to try to save it but it was too late. Johns brand new $2400 TV lay on the floor in a million pieces, and that’s when it happened… John teared up. He had been talking about this TV for over 6 months and saving for it even longer. He was devastated. We all helped clean up the messed and bid John and his wife a good night after that.

When I got home the first thing I did was hop online and order a Flat Screen TV wall mount to secure my Flat screen to the wall so that would never happen to me, the mount I bought has screws at the bottom to prevent it from falling off the wall, even if someone stumbled and grabbed onto the TV it isn’t going anywhere, I even feel better now knowing the TV can’t fall on the kids either while they are rough housing in the living room. 

 I do feel really bad for John but accident do happen, hopefully his insurance will cover it and next time he gets a TV wall mount as well.

Outdoors Become Indoors

This is an amazing time of year, the weather is cooling down and you can really enjoy the outdoors. Living here in Florida it tends to get a bit hot in the summers and we really look forward to the spring and fall when the temps are in in the mid-70s and you can really sit outside and enjoy your patio. Since its also football season and almost everyone you talk to has a favorite team they root for we decided to build and outdoor living space that was perfect for entertaining friends and family and really enjoying the weather but yet still having the comforts of the indoors.  We started our project this spring so we would be done just in time for the end of the summer. The project was a great success overall and we just completed about 2 weeks ago.

We started with an inground pool and in covered the entire patio in a screen room to keep the pesky bugs away. Then we added a grill to do some grilling in the outdoor kitchen and a living room style seating area with a large flat screen TV mounted on the wall over the fireplace. You can even float in the pool and watch the game!

We love our new space and it really brings us outdoors more in the fresh air without missing out on the luxuries of the indoors.  If you are planning an outdoor living space it doesn’t have to be that lavish, it can consist of an old fashion grill maybe a small frig and of course a TV mounted on the wall so you don’t miss any of the action! The most important part is enjoying time with great friends and family and getting out there.
