ArchivesAugust 20, 2010Friday Twitter Round Up
There was a lot of news to cover this week in the world of remodeling and home improvement. Everything from the return on investment of certain projects like replacement windows and replacement doors, to Vanilla Ice getting his own home improvement show – seriously. Twitter is a great way to stay up to date with interesting subjects and people, locally and around the world. You can find us here, tweeting away great information from the world of energy efficiency and home improvement. Here are a few “tweets” that caught our interest. AARP Maryland (@AARPMaryland) How does your state compare when it comes to average price of electricity per kilowatt hour for residential customers (AARP) Green Maryland (@GreenMaryland) Maryland DNR’s 2010 Photo Contest ends Aug. 31.

If you were lucky enough to go to camp as a child, then you understand the many great experiences they offer. Unfortunately, not every kid has the opportunity to spend a week or so surrounded by new friends and good times. Special Love and the R&W Foundation recently held a barbeque to raise funds to send children with cancer to camp. After all, what goes better with food and fun than a good cause? Long Fence and Home was happy to sponsor the Camp Fantastic BBQ this year and help entertain everyone who attended. August 4, 2010Free Film Festival Benefits NIH Children Charities
Comcast announces the launch of its free 14th Annual Outdoor Film Festival for friends and family to enjoy food and outdoor movies.

July 22, 2010Creating Custom WindowsNot all windows are created equal. Sure you can find windows that work well enough for your home with relative ease, but nothing beats the aesthetics and performance of a window created specifically for your home. This video shows how Long Windows and Serious Materials partner to offer our clients windows created for their specific needs. July 19, 2010Long Windows Video TrailerSo where exactly do Long Windows come from? The video above is a preview of an upcoming series where we take a look at what makes our windows different and special. Filming on location in Vandergrift, PA, we visit the people behind the windows, Serious Materials. Along with Long Windows, Serious Materials is also providing the energy efficient windows for the greening of the Empire State Building. The plant in Vandergrift was recently given new life via Obama’s Recovery Act. We document what our partners are doing with this new opportunity and show the processes that make our replacement windows so unique. |
