"Trigger Words" That Set Me Off
"I can't stand when someone asks, 'What are you doing?' — especially my boss or my mother. When I hear that my defenses go right up." WHAT TRIGGERS YOU?
Does She Really Think I Hate Her?
"During her defiant outbursts, my 12-year-old will yell and cry and, heartbreakingly, say I hate her. Does she really think that, or is she (perhaps unconsciously) trying to manipulate me? She is such a spark of light in my life, and I tell her that." HEARTBROKEN
My Teen Is Begging to Try ADHD Medication
"I am terrified of meds that 'alter your brain,' and we've successfully managed her ADHD with natural approaches until now — but she is really struggling in high school." WHAT TO DO?
Nailed It? Not Quite.
"Can anyone here actually get through a recipe without having to stop in the middle to go buy an ingredient (or find at the end that you forgot to add something)? And does the time listed for a recipe remotely relate to the time it takes you?" ANYONE?
Fits of Out-of-Control, Aggressive Behavior
"When he's not having one of these angry episodes, my seven-year-old son is polite, friendly, and funny. He doesn't seem to have any problems with attention or schoolwork." WHAT'S GOING ON?
How to Deal with Constant Brain Fog?
"My mind just feels numb, or as if there's a phantom itch in my brain that I just can't scratch. And, of course, this is happening during a week when I have a deadline at work." WAKE UP, BRAIN!

Phaze Concrete offers advice about what owners can do to prepare their property for construction.
CEDAR CITY, UTAH, USA, April 12, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Construction can be a daunting task. There is so much to do, both from the perspective of the contractor and the owner. The more that the owner can do to prepare the site for construction, the smoother the process will go.
Phaze Concrete understands that construction is usually a difficult process, even if you have gone through it before. After all, every project is different. That is why Phaze Concrete is sharing these tips. Through the sharing of information, contractors and owners can work together to make the experience better for everyone. Here are the best tips for preparing a property for construction:
1. Vacate the Area
It can be difficult to understand exactly what is needed when the construction crew is about to enter the building you own. Whether it is a house or a commercial property, leaving it to contractors can be difficult. However, the best thing a person can do in this situation is to vacate the area. Leave.
Now, this does not mean just your physical person. Everything should vacate the working premises. If there is furniture, pictures, or anything not nailed down or part of the structure, it should go with you.
The best thing to do, especially if you are not living elsewhere during construction, is to section that part of the building off completely. That way, you do not see the mess, dust, and destruction of a work in progress.
2. Keep the Pets Away
Pets in the home are one of the biggest hindrances during construction, if not removed from the area. Of course, Phaze Concrete and other construction companies love family pets. Although, most animals are highly stressed by anything going on in the home. Therefore, in addition to the obvious safety concern, all around, there is also a concern for the pet’s wellbeing. Construction is loud, messy, and disorienting to a pet. If they can roam throughout the construction area, it could cause them a lot of unnecessary stress.
Due to these reasons, it is best if the pets are relocated during the time of construction. If that is not possible, at least, do not allow pets anywhere near the construction site. This includes the times when contractors aren’t there. It is still a dangerous area, where pets have no business being.
3. Double Check to Ensure the Right Permits are Obtained
For the most part, owners should not have to worry about obtaining permits and following regulations. This is usually the contractor’s job. However, it is always a good idea to know what is require and make sure those requirements are met before the job is started. That way, there are no surprises when the construction is half done.
Thankfully, checking to see what is needed is simple. For most areas, a quick call to your local municipality can help guide owners through the permit and regulation process. Then, all owners must do is ensure the contractor has what is required.
To close, Phaze Concrete wants everyone to understand that construction might be necessary, but the miscommunication is not necessary. By utilizing these tips, owners can prime the site for construction. That way, so that the professionals can simply come in and get to work.
