Who invented the garden
hose?
The year is 1652. The place: Amsterdam.
A 12-year old boy, named Jan Van der Heiden, watches in awe as the
city's town hall burns to the ground. The event makes a lasting
impression. Twenty years pass. Van der Heiden and a group of men, standing on
ladders along a canal, fill a watersack which is supported in a trestle, with
buckets. From the trestle, water flows in a linen hose down to the fire engine
tank below. And the first fire hose is born. The linen hoses are soon
replaced by leather, which are hand-stitched, a trade that was common in
Holland's seafaring industry. It isn't long, though before more uses are found
for Van der Heiden's invention and the first garden hose is
born.

Did you know
that.....

For the Home Seller! |
Most commercial air fresheners do not freshen the air at all.
Instead, they mask one odor with another, coat your nasal passages with an
undetectable oil film, or diminish your sense of smell with a nerve-deadening
agent.
A note for home shoppers....Be wary of underlying causes in
homes where excessive amounts of odor masking scents are used. Most are used for
reasons other than just freshening a room!

Have you painted
your homes interior within the last 12 months or so and it still looks
great? Want to convey that fact while your home is showing without saying a
word? Repaint one smaller wall close to the front door. The hint of a fresh
paint smell will create the elusion of a complete paint job!

Scents! Ask us for more home staging tips......... |
