       When it comes to spending your money, it only makes sense that you would want to be sure that the item or service you are purchasing is worth the expense. Especially in these times of financial uncertainty, many people are making the choice to put money back in their homes as insurance of better times to come.

      Homes that include updated bathrooms and kitchens naturally bring higher returns and have higher values. Adding an additional bathroom to your home is definitely a step in the right direction. The benefits bathroom and kitchen remodeling can be enormous if you choose the right way to do it and the right plumbing contractor for the job.

      The increased value in your home is a major benefit in the long run. Eventually the housing crisis will pass and nothing puts you and your family in a good spot to benefit like having a newly remodeled bath or kitchen when you plan on selling. Even if you have no plans to sell your home soon, the increased value can be used as home equity and help plan and pay for things like college, more home improvements, or even retirement needs.

     In a addition to the increase in value there is the increase in usable square footage if an addition or basement bathroom is added. Now is the time to take advantage of the lack of work out there for many plumbing contractors and get the lowest price possible. The cheaper you get it done now when the prices are lower the more equity you will have when the housing market increases. Buy Low, Sell High!

      We have received a plumbing contract for the new Hunter Park Restroom building in Norwood,OH. We will be doing the plumbing work on the new public restrooms for the city park. This will be our second public job for the year 2009. We are happy with our progress as a Cincinnati commercial plumbing contractor thus far and hope to be even happier by the years end. We will continue to provide low bid proposals for commercial jobs competing against some of the major union plumbing shops in the tri-state area as well as other various open shops.

      The most important thing that we notice about these publicly bid jobs is that the labor rate is mandated to be prevailing wage which is the wage that the union employers have to pay their employees. The idea is that this makes it an even playing field for the union companies to bid against open shop companies because now the open shops must pay their employees this union wage if they are to perform the job being bid.

      This causes two problems for the taxpayers though. One is that the jobs that are being bid at prevailing wage rates could be bid at competitive open shop rates saving the taxpayers money in the long run because of lower labor rates. The other is that the number of companies bidding these jobs is somewhat limited because of the prevailing wage (union) rates. There are a lot of open shop companies that won’t bid on these projects because they can’t afford the higher labor rates. This only diminishes the chances of an even more competitive bid. The less companies that will bid the projects the less competitive the bids are. This also keeps the bid prices higher, once again costing the taxpayer’s more money in the long run.

     Flow-Rite Plumbing is proud to be an open shop with no boundaries. In doing so we bring the quality of work the public taxpayer’s deserve. We will continue to bid competitively on public jobs as they arise and provide quality workmanship on them when we are awarded the jobs. We would like to thank everyone for their support in our past and future endeavors.

      I recently came across an easy do it yourself marinade that you can make with a few simple ingredients and it tastes great. I know it sure was a crowd pleaser this Christmas holiday when I deep fried a turkey as usual for the family. See the ingredients below and just use your turkey injector to administer the tasty flavor as you would any store bout marinade. You can also use this marinade for chicken and pork even when you grill or bake.

      You will need:

• 1 stick of butter or margarine
• 1/4 cup of Cajun seasoning
• 1 1/2 cup of Italian dressing
• 1 fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth

      Pour the dressing through the stainer to remove all the big chunks of seasoning that could get clogged in the injector needle. Put the dressing in a microwaveable container with the butter and the Cajun seasoning and microwave until the butter is melted. Stir the mixture well and place it into your injector while it is still warm. Inject the meat with the mixture in several places while drawing the needle back push in the plunger. Proceed to deep fry the bird according to the directions. It usually takes 3 and 1/2 minutes per pound of turkey at an oil temp of 350 degrees. 

      Don’t worry the mixture tastes very salty and strong as if it might even ruin the flavor of the meat. I thought this at first but when the turkey was done I was so pleased with the flavor. I would not recommend letting the injected turkey set for longer than an hour prior to frying. I say this because the strength of the marinade may be too much if you let it stand too long before cooking. Try it out for yourself and the second time around you will probably want to experiment with different types of dressings and seasonings to come up with your own flavor. I assure you that this is a good starting point for a basic Cajun marinade but if your like me you will want to tweak it  just because you can. All for the love of food.

       Comments are welcome and appreciated! If you have a recipe to share let us know and we will be happy to post it on the blog! Cincinnati Plumbers can cook and we love to share our recipes.
