Painting Stilts

Every few years, our home needs a new paint job. Some of us try to avoid it, hoping that if we ignore the exterior painting job at hand, it will somehow vanish. Or maybe we concern ourselves with thinking that the cost of getting our home painted isn't quite warranted at the current time. What we all need to understand is how very important exterior paint is to our home and the benefits to not only getting it done on time but by professional painters.

A home's exterior paint is its only level of protection our home has from the elements. In all reality, it's amazing that paint lasts as long as it does! Areas like Boston are not known for their most ideal climates. With hot, humid summers and brutally cold, icy winters, our house endures an amazing amount of abuse. Paint is the only thing that stands between all of this and our home's siding. Due to this, exterior painting is not something that should be taken lightly. Professionals understand the importance of its position and have worked hard to build a combination of prep, painters, and paints that will offer the best protection. Not only this, but they've built up tricks of the trade to make your paint last longer and look better for many years to come.

Exterior painting is not just a color for the side of your home. Good contractors will not stop at simply isolating the painting portion of their project. Certain other aspects need to be taken into account as well. For instance, if caulking needs to be replaced around the home's exterior, it should be done when the home is being prepped. Caulk seals small holes and crevices around windows, jambs, and other points of intersection of various building materials. With broken or dried out caulk, this can create an incredible amount of inefficiency in your home.

A great exterior painting job will seal your home from the elements. Without this protective barrier, your home will run the risk of allowing water to seep in where it's no longer sealed. Water, mildew, and moisture are a home's worst enemy and could have much greater consequence in just a short amount of time, requiring costly repairs and expensive overhauls down the road. A professional not only knows this but is passionate about making sure your house is protected. If your home is in need of some exterior painting, it is not something that should be put off on your to do list. It should be addressed and corrected at your first opportunity.

Nonsense on Stilts $18 Recent polls suggest that fewer than 40 percent of Americans believe in Darwin’s theory of evolution, despite it being one of science’s best-established findings. More and more parents are refusing to vaccinate their children for fear it causes autism, though this link can been consistently disproved. And about 40 percent of Americans believe that the threat of global warming is exaggerated, despite near consensus in the scientific community that manmade climate change is real. Why do people believe bunk? And what causes them to embrace such pseudoscientific beliefs and practices? Noted skeptic Massimo Pigliucci sets out to separate the fact from the fantasy in this entertaining exploration of the nature of science, the borderlands of fringe science, and—borrowing a famous phrase from philosopher Jeremy Bentham—the nonsense on stilts. Presenting case studies on a number of controversial topics, Pigliucci cuts through the ambiguity surrounding science to look more closely at how science is conducted, how it is disseminated, how it is interpreted, and what it means to our society. The result is in many ways a “taxonomy of bunk” that explores the intersection of science and culture at large. No one—not the public intellectuals in the culture wars between defenders and detractors of science nor the believers of pseudoscience themselves—is spared Pigliucci’s incisive analysis. In the end, Nonsense on Stilts is a timely reminder of the need to maintain a line between expertise and assumption. Broad in scope and implication, it is also ultimately a captivating guide for the intelligent citizen who wishes to make up her own mind while navigating the perilous debates that will affect the future of our planet.
