Off and on I like to tune into HGTV’s Property Virgins where surprisingly, they often feature home buyers in the Austin, Texas area. What makes this particularly odd to me are two things:

1. The real estate agent on the show is from Canada (so she has to have a dual real estate license for both Canada and the United States, right?), and

2. I find myself thinking, “Isn’t Austin hit by hurricanes pretty often?”

Now I could be completely wrong about my second thought, but somehow I think not. Which always leads me to the thought of potential damages and the inevitable need for discount carpet cleaning services should you live in Austin, Texas.

The Steam Team to Austin’s Rescue!

Well continuing along the lines of my thoughts about heavy storms and/or hurricanes, it would only stand to reason that, potentially, at some point residents of Austin might have need of a “service to the rescue” team. This brings to mind a person’s choice to check into the helpful team at The Steam Team.

Here’s just one of multiple services The Steam Team provides: http://www.thesteamteam.com/austin-restoration-services/smoke-fire.shtml

Additional Services Offered for Austin Residents

Happily, The Steam Team doesn’t just handle heavy invasions of water (which if you live in Austin, I hope never happens to you). They also provide do it yourself carpet cleaner, should you be the ambitious type, commercial upholstery cleaning, air duct cleaning, pet odor elimination, dryer vent cleaning, and the list goes on!

If you ever find yourself in the position of needing everything from the everyday to emergency clean up, and you live in Austin, Texas, The Steam Team is ready and waiting to give you more than a helping hand.

(Side Note Added April 28th – Watched Property Virgins again last night and sure enough they were house hunting in Austin, Texas!)

Thanks to MathTeacher’s comments in the previous post, I will stop dreaming of ways to spend all that money and get back to work LOL! Just also shows how much “we the people” would love a bit of help from our government versus the elite always getting a helping hand. The state of affairs worsens as the days pile up. While bailing out single entities (which by the way most of us ordinary people would have landed in jail for), once again the government overlooks the critical component in any scenario. We, the little people, are the backbone of any country. With no money to spend, it doesn’t really matter how many special interests they bail out does it. We end up footing a bill that no one can afford to foot.

While the Birk Economics thing sparked hope, unfortunately, the math doesn’t pan out. Even at the 700 billion dollar level, it’s still peanuts. Can’t anyone think up a way that would put everyone on equal footing, ensure their futures, and help in the here and now?!?!

Okay, coming down of the soapbox (but I think “we the people” had better start yelling and screaming louder!), on to the next bit of news for the day. (more…)
