IPA Construction

It’s really nice to own your home, but it also involves a lot of work on my part. When I rented a townhouse for 10 years, I became accustomed to having the association pay for lawn maintenance on our behalf. Along with the water bill, it was all taken out of our monthly payments to […]

I have friends all over the city that come from different walks of life. For instance, I have a close buddy from high school who supports himself with two jobs: working as an electrician by day, and as a ballet dancer by night on the weekends. It might seem like an odd combination, but he’s […]

This last summer saw more rain than we’ve experienced in years. I’m used to late summer rain showers that disrupt my outdoor activities, but this year was considerably bad for the flash flooding in low lying areas. My brother lives near a river and his ground floor level faced considerable water damage during the last […]

For instance, I work as a welder in the construction business and I mainly weld together steel rebar tie wire with loop ties everyday to help with foundations being built for new houses going up in my area. During my high school years, it wasn’t easy to find work in any industry. We were in […]

Yesterday I finally finished painting the exterior of my house again for the first time in about 12 years. The paint was chipping considerably in some places, with sun bleaching prevalent in others. While I’m not bound by deed restrictions or HOA rules, I still want a house that looks nice and garners a high […]

Staying hydrated means drinking at least 64 oz of water every day. You should be drinking water morning, noon, and night. Hydration helps our body to naturally heal and function. I […]

My job as an iron worker is not for the faint of heart. I am constantly out on a Ledge somewhere with pieces of stainless steel rebar. I take my job very seriously. It is absolutely a must when you work in a dangerous environment like this one. When my wife suggested taking my son […]

I absolutely like my job working at the factory. I waited a long time before I had the chance to start working at the factory. Jobs there are hard to get, because they are union jobs. Not many people leave a union job and it is virtually impossible to get fired. The factory where I […]

It’s increasingly harder these days to find products that are American made. One of my all time favorite guitar and amplifier manufacturers finally closed their American facility and moved their operations to southeast Asia completely. While there are plenty of amazing import brands, this particular brand had built their reputations for decades on their American-made […]

While it has never been easier to learn DIY skills for a variety of interesting projects, it’s equally easy to over extend yourself in areas that are beyond your current understanding. I have a close friend that threw all of her eggs into one basket when she quit her long time job to be a […]
