"I called the owner for a quote and she arrived right on time. She was personable and very professional. She was extremely knowledgeable and explained all of the different options and pricing that was available.
We quickly came to an agreement on the service, price, and time of cleaning.
When the time came they arrived on time and got right to work. They work quickly, but very efficiently. They seemed to have a plan in which one starts in one area of the home and the other in another. They each work well independently as well as together to make sure that they do not miss anything.
Once they were finished they asked me to take a look and let them know what I thought. I was impressed! They did an awesome job!. They moved things in the home that I typically do not move to clean. The attention to detail throughout the entire home impressed me.
I have taken monthly service going forward as this fits best with my financial situation and cleaning needs. I spoke with the owner and she was able to find a time monthly that work best for both of us. She stated that the time and date were flexible depending on my schedule for each given month. I was very pleased to hear that since my schedule changes daily.
I have since recommended them to 3 of my friends.
I recommend Delegate That Dirt to anyone that does not like to clean their own house. It really is affordable when you consider cleaning materials, chemicals, and your own time.
What a concept having someone else you can trust clean your home. Wish I would have thought of this years ago.

"I was in need of a carpenter for a back porch. The concrete/brick contractor that I used (James at Anyway Concrete)  suggested Jeremy.

I contacted Jeremy and he came to my house to inspect the porch and discuss my wants and needs in just a couple of days.  During the inspection he told me my porch wasn't in code because it lacked a landing, the railings were spaced too far apart, and the steps weren't wide enough. (Who knew?!) He also took time to answer all my questions about treated, cedar and synthetic lumber. 

He took measurements, then emailed me options for doing the work using treated lumber, cedar and synthetic which I had requested.. I went with cedar as we were getting new cedar fencing and I love the beauty and smell of cedar. 

Jeremy and his partner did a beautiful job!  I now have a lovely back entrance porch that is in code, a pleasure to sit or stand on and is very secure and strong.  I didn't realize how unsafe our old porch was until I experienced this one.  I was hesitant about the landing, but I can tell you that after just one use, I now wonder how I managed all this time without it! It's a pleasure to be able to put bags on the landing and have my hands free to open the storm door and unlock the back door instead of trying to hold everything in one hand , while balancing on an 8" step hoping not to drop my keys or bags when the I swing open the storm door. 

I also enjoy standing on the landing in the morning and admiring the view of my new backyard. I kind feel like Leonardo DiCaprio (I'm king of the world!) when I stand and look out at my backyard domain er 125'x30' city lot... :)

Jeremy and his partner were fast (they built the porch and gate in one day!), professional, courteous and respectful of my property.  When they were done, they did a great job of clean up.  They also gathered up all the left over cedar lattice and wood and gave to me to so I could burn in our soon to be purchased metal fire pit.  I also appreciated how they showed me the receipts for all the materials purchased. When I commented that the railing was a little wide for my hands, they purchased and installed a solid oak railing with metal brackets at no additional charge.    

As the pictures show, Jeremy is a true craftsman."

"Once they were actually into the project, they found an architectural flaw which caused the problem.  For a very modest additional fee, they corrected the flaw and provided a sound, dry and visually appealing result.  They were very easy to work with and followed through as promised in regards to schedule, appointments and results!!  Would definitely hire them again!!!"

"Josh and Jessica were great. Josh was very accommodating to my schedule. Jessica came on a Sunday to repair my toilet. She did a great job - took care of the installation of a fill valve really quickly and cleaned up afterwards. Very reasonably priced, too. I would definitely recommend Do It All."

Greenhouses and Nurseries questions, answered by experts

The quickest way you can protect plants and trees from frost is to cover them with garden blankets or frost cloths. Also, bringing potted plants or trees indoors is much simpler than trying to cover and protect them outdoors. Remember to anchor blankets with something such as sandbags, fabric pins, or rocks if the forecast calls for strong winds to keep them from blowing away and exposing your trees and plants.

Minor fixes like patching leaks or repainting are DIY-friendly, but structural repairs require professional expertise.

Eco-friendly materials include sustainably-sourced woods, recycled metals, low-VOC paints, and non-toxic sealants, which reduce environmental impact. Using these in repairs promotes sustainability and can improve indoor air quality and overall building health.

Adding burnt charcoal to your garden beds and plant pots can yield several benefits, but there are risks involved, too. Charcoal, particularly biochar, can enhance soil structure, improve water drainage, and increase nutrient retention. When activated, charcoal provides key nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. However, burnt charcoal, especially from briquettes, can inadvertently alter soil's pH levels and become hazardous to plants. Overall, there are better and less risky soil amendments available, such as vermiculite, perlite, or wood chips.

In most cases, wait three to five days to repot or relocate a plant from a greenhouse or nursery. That way, your plant has time to recover from any shock during the move and adapt to the conditions in and around your home. Some hearty plants may not need as long, and delicate plants might need several weeks. You should ask the professional at your nursery for a recommended timeline. Consider asking about an initial watering schedule to help stimulate root growth and promote a healthy plant.
