Eat It, It’s Green!

April 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Plumbing News

Beer-battered Lake Huron Whitefish Sandwich with Apple Slaw from Epic. As much as I love the Green Living Show , a lot of it doesn’t really apply to me.

Green Means Go

July 16th, 2008 · No Comments · Plumbing News

THERE’S THIS BANDWAGON, see; it’s green. And it’s time to start thinking about getting on board. SUVs are rusting in dealer lots. Toyota Priuses are backordered for months.
