				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Independent and skilled trades persons often find it difficult to know what kind of advertising works for their business business. Email campaigns, shows, print advertising, and/or flyer distribution are just some of the avenues available to business owners. 99% of an advertising campaign falls on deaf ears, unseeing eyes or at least a jaded mind. Why? I could devote pages  listing the reasons people simply do not trust a piece of literature or ad they have placed in front of them.</p>
<p>To make it simple we are inundated, daily, with businesses trying to sell us their products. We simply have become very adept at tuning out most everything we hear or see simply because our brains are not big enough to receive, to store, to process, and to come to a conclusion on the billboards which race by us in traffic, or the ads screaming at us from the radio in traffic, all the while we are going through what we forgot for that meeting with our team at work today.</p>
<p>We feel the commute time is ours but instead our heads buzz with the input that is forced upon us. Things that sell us stuff is forced in front of us and we have to make a decision to<br />
listen or read that which is going by us at a very high rate of speed. So we choose to ignore most of the input until things slow down for us.</p>
<p>As the traffic ahead begins to slow we see an attractively decorated cube; for those who do not know, the &#8216;CUBE&#8217; is that boxy little thing that looks like a cross between a milk truck and a roller skate made by Nissan. It has a dessert landscape, a beautiful sunset, and a very colorful lizard watching a maiden pouring you a sparkling glass of water. We are always thirsty so it jolts a little Pavlovian reaction in us that has us reaching for the coffee cup in our cup holder. It just doesn&#8217;t do the trick! Besides the Arabian maiden with her faced and body  just barely visible under the silky flowing gauzy fabric has aroused another Pavlovian reaction in you. Maybe if you treated your home better you too could possess a Kingdom fit for a harem.</p>
<p>Desert Quench Water Filter systems &#8220;FIT for a harem&#8221;, installed and maintained by  a fyifixit.com professionals installed a few hours cost less than what you spend of bottled water. No more corroded pipes, metal tasting water or hard clothes. &#8220;Please your harem!&#8221; is the final message on the bumper.</p>
<p>You have tuned out the radio commercial, forgotten the traffic and ignored the impending doom at work to make the choice to read the signage in front of you. Your world has slowed down.</p>
<p>It works doesn&#8217;t it.</p>
<p>I just had a long conversation with Jim Wyse, the owner of Designs Phoenix. He wraps vehicles as well as other types of graphic advertising a company may need. He was very professional and helpful. He answered all of the questions I had about vehicle wraps. He was patient and informative with me though I had no idea what was involved producing a mobile advertisement.</p>
<p>Here is his web link http:<a title="Vehicle wrap" href="http://designsphoenixsigns.com/vehicle-wraps-and-graphics/">//designsphoenixsigns.com/full-vehicle-wrap/</a></p>
<p>Here is a picture of his own vehicle and the process he goes through for business owners to produce an advertisement that really works! Good luck with your own marketing plans but think about including a vehicle wrap as the next phase of promoting your business.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://fyifixit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/imagejpeg_21.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-735" alt="imagejpeg_2(1)" src="http://fyifixit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/imagejpeg_21-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a>Win a sweatshirt for your winning idea on yard art. Yard art is as varied as any genre of art. I have seen radiators converted to planters, scrap metal used in sculptures and bicycles buried as if going into the center earth and very cool rock sculptures and landscaping . Here is your chance to suggest ideas or show your concept on yard art. The top 5 stories will be published and awarded a very cool t-shirt ($50 Valued Sweatshirt). The next 5 published articles will receive  a free pair of sunglasses. You must sign in and provide 300-500 words and 2 pictures. All pictures and the article may be used at any time by FYI fixit.com. We will give you credit for authorship. I have always thought My Harley Davidson hummer was a great piece of artwork as it stands. I am trying to decide if I should use it as piece of yard art or should I restore it to its original glory. I had it for sale for $1000, but it seems as if it has more value as a piece of art. Your comments are appreciated.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Artists who know how to bring a concept to print, or artwork for a t-shirt design are not easy to find. Here is an artist which I have used for many designs. His name is Cory<br />
Gray and I have downloaded a few of the designs he has done for me and a few he has done for others. He has always been fair on his pricing and the product has been better than exceptional. He can give you spot color separations and halftone separations as well as film positives for extra costs.<a href="http://fyifixit.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Kids-Decathalon-small.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1359" alt="Kids Decathalon small" src="http://fyifixit.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Kids-Decathalon-small.jpg" width="830" height="721" /><a href="http://fyifixit.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/king-of-mountain-with-clickart.com_.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1364" alt="king of mountain with clickart.com" src="http://fyifixit.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/king-of-mountain-with-clickart.com_-279x300.jpg" width="279" height="300" /></a></a><a href="http://fyifixit.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Youth-volley-with-clickart.com_.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1360" alt="Youth volley with clickart.com" src="http://fyifixit.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Youth-volley-with-clickart.com_.jpg" width="2151" height="1962" /></a> I have also linked to his website where you can see more of his designshttp://thegraydomain.com/<a href="http://thegraydomain.com/gallery.php?cat=7&amp;pho=1" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1361" alt="the Gray Domain  with clickart.com" src="http://fyifixit.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/the-Gray-Domain-with-clickart.com_.jpg" width="2371" height="2192" /></a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Submit an article on a do-it-yourself project or a project you have endeavored at your home, your business,or recreational activity which you think would interest the general public and we will reward you with a Grand Canyon T-shirt or a FYI FIXIT.com t-shirt. Articles should be between 500-2000 words and should include a couple of photos to highlight your project if you have them available.</p>
<p>Why a Grand Canyon T-shirt? Well we are located in Arizona so many people have a specific interest in this spectacular national park. I personally have rowed my own boat down the Colorado river from Lee&#8217;s Ferry to Lade Mead six times and find it to be one of the greatest do-it-yourself adventures anyone on this planet can accomplish.<a href="http://fyifixit.com/?page_id=1371"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-1332" alt="t-shirt promotion" src="http://fyifixit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/t-shirt-promotion.jpg" width="1058" height="794" /></a></p>
<p>Remember humor is good but crassness is unnecessary. We reserve the right to turn down any article which is inappropriate and or unappropriate (not a good fit for our website). All articles submitted become the property of FYI fixit.com</p>
<p>We reserve the right to change wording and or content to better represent the project, the space constraints, or that which would interest our members and or visitors. We will always give you or your company credit for your article or the parts which we use for the final article. Not all article will be published nor will all articles but published in the original submitted form but if we use any part of your article you will be credited with the authorship of the information.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not many people will tell you that your house should be painted every 5-7 years. But it needs the paint for several reasons. Paint is what protects your house, protects your stucco, protects your exterior sheeting, which in turn protects your studs and insulation and the structure of your house. paint is not just the appearance of your house it is the protection of your house. To leave your house unprotected for years is like leaving the code to your bank account debit card and your card laying around outside. Sooner or later you will lose the investment you have and of course paint is what makes your house reflect the care with which you have shown for your home. In the end if you allow your house to get to the point where it is peeling, flaking, or bubbling it will cost you much more to bring it back into the  valuable column  of your assets not an entry into the debit column.</p>
<p>I understand that in an economy that is tight, it is difficult to spend money on your house. Most people simply find painting their own house a daunting task. And it is. But using an FYI Fixit certified painter we can guarantee the paint, the color, the job, and the cleanup.</p>
<p>But remember it is not the looks of your house but the value of your house that should matter to you. A house, which you put $1,500 -$3000 into an exterior paint job is worth $3,000 &#8211; $7000 on the market than one that is run down and needs to be painted. A house that is well kept up sell 2 to 3 times faster than one that is not looked after. A real estate agent or an appraiser will tell you that a house that is in good shape has a much greater value than one that is in poor condition. What they won&#8217;t tell you is that if you are buying a house you are the one responsible to bring it back up to a condition that protects the integrity of the house.</p>
<p>Choosing your paint. We have used every paint available to painters and home owners. There is a difference in the way good paint goes on, the way the paint lasts in the wind and heat, and the way it looks when it is done.</p>
