Paul's Progress

April 2016

Well aside from a couple of strange-o wannabe cold and windy days this past week, spring has most certainly SPRUNG hasn't it!? I know you've heard me say it before, but I just love Spring Arizona weather. It has been just perfect. So perfect, in fact, that the kids are already getting in the pool! Too cold for me for that just yet, but at least it is sparkly clean thanks to my husband keeping up on all of the pool maintenance.

Did you make it out to a Spring Training game or worked out in the yard? Have you made it out hiking on any of our gorgeous hiking trails or have you been able to enjoy the wonderful parks or attractions like the Phoenix Zoo or Botanical Gardens? Whatever you've been up to so far, we hope you are enjoying yourself doing it and we also hope you leave a little shopping time in there! There's no shortage of ads and savings this month as you can see from our crazy bright Calendar. All of these ads are packed with what you need to get your outdoor living spaces in shape, and now is the time to do it and enjoy it. Check it all out, make your lists and head on in to get the best help anywhere!

As always, Thank You for your support and continued business. We know you have choices for your home improvement needs and we also know we wouldn't have made it almost 60 incredible years without YOU. We appreciate your business!

Sincerely,

Tricia Dauwalder-Luna
& The Paul's Helpful Hardware Family

Local and Organic

Honey is a powerhouse of health benefits, both internal and external. It can sooth coughs, boost memory, aide with sleeplessness, provide nutrients, makes a great workout fuel, and may help metabolize alcohol - honey shots all around! It has also been said that it can help relieve seasonal allergies and if you are an allergy sufferer, you know you'd give just about anything a try to get rid of the sniffling, sneezing and headache that just won't go away. We stock local and organic True Love Honey (formerly Holly's Little Farm - same honey, new label) at all 6 Paul's Ace Hardware locations!

Spring brings with it it's own set of gardening issues, from pesky little critters to feeding existing plants to starting a brand new backyard garden. Well, we have plenty of what you need to get started and keep going and one line of products we stock comes to us local and organic from Dave Owens' "The Garden Guy". From scorpion to weed control and rose to queen palm food, we have you covered.

Getting Your Evap Cooler Ready

If you have an evaporative cooler, you know what a money saver they can be - if they are working properly. Getting them ready for the heat takes a little time, but is worth it in the long run.

If you have the owners manual for your cooler, be sure to check for any maintenance instructions and observe all cautions and warnings.
First, UNPLUG or turn off the electricity to it :) There is no need for it to be on whilst you are messing around with water and electricity in there. Be safe. Next, take the sides off and inspect the filter media. If it is brittle, replace it. Newer media will hold water better which will in turn keep you cooler.

Then, inspect the belt, pump and float valve and ensure they are working properly. Replace worn or cracked belts, and faulty pumps and valves - all are relatively inexpensive.

Clean out any debris, drain from last year if it wasn't done and inspect the body of the cooler for any rust. Steel wool can be used to sand down any rust spots, then spray the cooler body with a cooler coating spray to waterproof and protect against any further rust and corrosion.

Consider using a cooler deodorizer or cooler cake, this will control any odors from algae and bacteria that might start to grow in your cooler and/or cooler pads thus then be blown into your home.

Finally, fill 'er up, turn the power back on to it and go get cool!

Summerize Your Home

Summer is right around the corner and will be here before we know it. Believe it or not, there is more to get done than dusting off those flip flops. There are some things you could get done around the house in springtime that will make the transition to the hot Arizona summer a little more bearable. Or, if you only winter here in Arizona but spend your summers elsewhere (some might call you the lucky ones), there are things you need to get done around the house before you leave. Read more here
