A Lifetime Social Room
When I was visiting my parents at their condo in Port Aransas last week, I happened to snap a picture of the condo building's social room. It's not that it was super attractive or decorated beautifully (or even decorated at all!) but, it was filled with nothing but Lifetime tables and chairs! Yep, that was it. Four plain walls, seven Lifetime 6' banquet tables, and numerous Lifetime chairs. The tables and chairs are used every Monday morning when the residents gather to eat breakfast, and at various other times for potlucks, game nights, etc. Many residents also borrow the Lifetime chairs to use in their own condos. My Mom borrowed two so she could have extra seating at the dining table since it only came with four chairs. And, she also used the Lifetime chairs at her sewing table. The Lifetime tables and chairs were an ine...

TwoLifetime employeessubmitted some photos after levelingthe yardof their new homeusing one of Lifetimes Wheelbarrows they recently purchased. Jenn and Wes found themselvesall caught up over the weekend and thenevery day after work for a weekhauling dirt, raking out rocks, and landscaping the yard with rocks.Luckily they had a handful of willing helpers to getthe job done. We love thatLifetime Wheelbarrows have two wheels,are stable,and so easy to use, said Jen, Ourshas really come in handy. The first few days started with three truck loads of lava rock that was wheel barrowed and shoveled in to fill the curbing around the stairs and the island (This took 3 days of on and off work).And in the nextfew days they started filling in rocks under the back deck and along the side of the RV pad.

Winter Composting Tips
With winter in full-swing, that does not mean you need to quit composting. Composting in the winter and cold temperatures is still possible with these helpful tips: Keep your composter in the sun as much as possible. This is probably the same place you have had it all summer, but with the angle of the sun changing as it does during the winter, you may need to take another look and adjust the placement of your Lifetime Composter. For winter composting, keeping your compost a little on the dry side may also help. This can be achieved by modifying your typical brown versus green ratios to a little more heavy on brown. Moisture in the compost mix is necessary but too much will freeze and slow down the helpful composting bacteria, or put these bacteria into hibernation. So, a touch dryer during the winter is better.
