For those of you who are not fans of dreary weather, fear not - spring has almost sprung! The first official day of spring will be on March 20, and we’ve got plenty of tips and tricks to get your home back into entertaining shape, whether you’re going to be hiding Easter eggs for the kiddies or just hosting a brunch for some friends. Maybe you’ll even whip up some of the delicious recipes created by our good friend Dom DeLuise - as always, we’ve got some of his very best dishes to whet your appetite.

Around the house, our projects and tips will help you clean out your rain gutters, ensure your garbage disposal is working efficiently and safely, and unclog your drains, among other things. Hopefully you’ll have plenty of time to get these simple chores done, as Daylight Saving Time also begins this month. Remember to take a few minutes on that day to replace the batteries in your smoke, fire and carbon monoxide detectors; it’s so easy to do, and can save not only your home, but your life.

Thanks so much for taking time to read this month’s offering of our On The House e-Newsletter. We hope you’ll stay with us as the weather gets warmer and the days grow brighter. You’ll definitely want to stay tuned to our website and our radio program to learn more about how you can win one of five ReBath bathtub remodels for your home totaling $25,000 in prizes! March kicks off the ReBath "Ugliest Bath Makeover" presented by 1-800-BATHTUB. You’ll have until the end of April to vie for the opportunity to refresh and revitalize that room in your home that is all-too-often taken for granted.

Stay well, have a great March and we’ll talk again in April.

OnTheHouse Product Review: Gorilla Wood Glue

When we were asked to test the new Gorilla Wood Glue, we started by digging out our stash of trusted wood glues of years gone by.

Along side our hefty 8-ounce plastic bottle of new Gorilla Wood Glue, we first set up our bottle of trusty yellow “carpenter’s” glue. Next to that, we set-up our bottle of white glue (for all porous surfaces) with the famous moo-cow on the label.

These latter day wood glues superceded the original grand daddy of wood glues – animal-based organic “hide” glue – which has been traced back almost 9,000 years (where it was used for ship building) and more recently about 4,000 years (when it was used by the Egyptians for furniture building).

Today’s carpenter’s glue, are often a polyvinyl acetate (PVA) laboratory creation– as is the white stuff made to bond wood. Gorilla Wood Glue is a cross-linked PVA, that is water resistant and with no dyes added, it dries a natural color.
