Going Green Has Never Been Easier in South Florida With Solar Hot Water!

Solar energy is free, and its supplies are unlimited. Using solar energy produces no air or water pollution. Households with an electric water heater consume about 6,400 KW per year for water heating. If we assume that the electricity is generated by a typical power plant with an efficiency of 30%, then the water heater generates about 8 tons of CO2.

The surprising result is that the CO2 produced by a water heater is almost double that produced by a modern automobile. * On average, a solar water heater in Florida can produce 90 – 95% of your hot water needs, reducing your carbon footprint over 10,000 pounds annually.  That is more than the average car, plus it saves the equivalent of 11.4 barrels of oil.

THE SOLAR WATER HEATING BENEFITS INCLUDE:

• Reduces Dependence On Fossil Fuel and Foreign Oil
• Reduces Co2 And Sulfur Dioxide Emissions
• Qualifies For Up To $2000 In Federal Tax Credits
• Qualifies For $500 Florida rebate
• Qualifies For Many Utility Company Rebates
• Exempt From Florida State Sales Tax
• Protects From Future Rate Increases
• Increases Property Value
• Provides Hot Water During Power Outages
• Tax-Free Savings

Cool Roof Coatings & Reflective Roof Paints by Acry-Tech

Acry-Tech Heat Reduction Paints and Coatings reflect and prevent heat buildup on roofs, saving energy.

People who live in tropical climates usually wear light-colored or white clothing to help keep themselves cool. They know that light colors reflect heat and sunlight; whereas dark colors absorb heat and light. Buildings are similar to people. If you have a dark-colored roof, your building will be hotter than if it had a light-colored roof.

Cool Roofs are roofs consisting of materials that very effectively reflect the sun’s energy from the roof surface. Cool materials for low-slope roofs are mainly bright white in color, although non-white colors are starting to become available for sloped roof applications. Cool Roofs must also have high emissivity, allowing them to emit infrared energy. Unfortunately bare metals and metallic coatings tend to have low emissivity and are not considered cool materials.

Cool roofs reduce the roof surface temperature by up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, thereby reducing the heat transferred into the building below. This helps to reduce energy costs (by keeping attics and ducts cooler), improve occupant comfort, cut maintenance costs and air conditioning replacement costs, increase the life cycle of the roof, and reduce urban heat islands along with associated smog.

Cool Top is a bright white coating for Metal Roofs, Smooth Asphalt, Shingle Roofs or Granulated Asphalt roofs. It dramatically lowers roof surface temperatures resulting in lower AC costs while it prevents the normal high temperatures that bake out essential oils or cause extreme contraction and expansion, which results in premature roof failure. Prolong your asphalt roof lifespan by blocking UV and cutting heat with Cool Top reflective white roof coating. Prolong your metal roof life by eliminating excessive movement and thermal shock.

Speaker Cabinet Coatings - DuraTex Protects Speakers, Monitors & Subwoofers

by Dan Hittenberger

Touring groups are finding that DuraTex protects sound equipment and keeps it looking fresh and new. Speaker cabinets can be damaged over time. Image is everything for a touring group and DuraTex helps keep that image professional. Rental companies also find that DuraTex keeps their gear looking new and helps them maintain a more professional image in the industry.

DuraTex is the perfect product to protect & refinish the surfaces for speakers, monitors and subwoofers. 

A few weeks ago I had a wonderful opportunity to spend some time with Jared Ashley a young up and coming Country Western singer and songwriter in Nashville and got a real up close view of what happens to Pro Audio Gear on the road. (you can find Jared Ashley at www.jaredashley.com or on Facebook)

When Jared pulled his speakers, monitors and subs out of his trailer and we set them up, I made a smart comment about how it looked like he had dragged some of the gear on a rope behind the trailer for a few hundred miles. Road Rash was quite evident because when a traveling group loads and unloads their gear numerous times a day, over the course of a year it really can get beat up.

Some of his OAP monitors looked trashed as the original smooth finish had a hard time standing up to the rigors of touring. Gouges, chips, worn areas and deep dents showed that this equipment had done a lot of performing and made a lot of music.

We patched up the worst damage, removed the metal corners and grills and taped off the handles in preparation to recoat. We then proceeded to rehab the monitors and other cabs with DuraTex Roller Grade Texture Coating. The results were astounding and the refinished monitors looked like new. We even banged the dents out of the grills and coated them too.

We yanked the worn rat fur off of Jared’s Yamaha monitor and transformed it into a quality looking piece that nicely matches the rest of his recoated equipment. DuraTex provided a greatly enhanced professional look to the assembled gear. Once we coated the speaker cabs, monitors and sub woofers, new corners were installed that helped provide a bit more protection to the equipment. Two coats of DuraTex and even a Third Coat makes a huge difference in the protection afforded to the speaker cabs. The durable texture finish will resist the bumps and bruises that make sound equipment look worn and unprofessional. And, DuraTex doesn’t add a lot of extra weight to the gear like the expensive spray-on bed liner products.

After a day of DuraTex work, Jared and the boys in the band were real proud of their new refurbished gear. DuraTex protects sound equipment and makes speakers look as good as they sound!

Watch the video below for step by step instructions for refacing a carpeted road case (or speaker cabinet) using DuraTex Speaker Cabinet Texture Coating.


We removed the carpet from the road case and created a tough, durable, water resistant texture coating – DuraTex.  Duratex can be purchased online in the store:

How to Dress Yourself for the Occasion

There are many ways to dress for a dinner party, depending on the level of formality. The best way to find out how formal you should dress is to ask the host or hostess directly. This will overcome any confusion you may have. For a very formal party, it is a good idea to wear a gown for the women, and a tuxedo or suit for the men. For a more casual party, it is a good idea to dress as if you were going into an interview.

Dos and Don’ts:

• Do: Make sure to RSVP to the dinner party as promptly as you are able to.
• Don’t: Unless the host says it is permissible, don’t bring anyone along other than your +1
• Do: When you arrive, step into the ladies room to straighten up your make up, or straighten up your tie, depending on your gender.
• Don’t: When you arrive, try not to be loud and attention seeking. Instead, float about the room gracefully and try to say hello to those you know.

Following these simple tips and advice will have you the belle of the ball and the gentlemen of the night.

When you are a good guest at a dinner party, it is sure to get you invited back to future events.
