Making Your Home Energy Efficient

Did you just have some Lansing movers move you into your new home only to find out its not as energy efficient as you thought? It may not be as bad as you think.  It's often best to consult a professional and have a energy audit conducted. Many companies are offering these for free or for a low cost.  Although if you are one of those do-it-yourselfers and want to take matters into your own hands before consulting a professional theses tips should be able to help you.  First thing is don't call up the Lansing moving company telling them to come back and move you somewhere else.  Instead try these quick and easy changes that will make your home more energy efficient. Also, keep records so that you may track your improving energy savings.

Holidays in Lansing

As a local Lansing moving company, we cherish the holiday season in Michigan just as much as you do. It's always an exciting time of year when the first flakes of snow hit the ground, families gather together to celebrate the holidays, and to spend cherished time with one another. So many great traditions from years past like decorating the tree or baking cookies. One local tradition Lansing movers and residents alike have come to look forward to each year, is Silver Bells! Each December, a parade is held in the Lansing city square with floats, carolers, hot cocoa and plenty of holiday spirit. At the end of the parade, there is a fireworks show, and the big tree in front of the Capitol Building is lit up. It's a special time for many families and friends to enjoy, and puts the whole town in the holiday spirit. From all of us at B & J Moving and Storage to you and your families, we hope Silver Bells marked the beginning of a very happy holiday season.

Exciting Football Season in East Lansing

East Lansing movers are more excited about this year's college football season than you are. Why, you may ask? Football fans flock to East Lansing, home of the Michigan State Spartans, to see their team rack up victory after victory in an exciting and possibly Rose Bowl earning season. After this past Saturday's win against Iowa, many say that the Spartans have already won the Legends Division title and their spot in the first annual Big Ten Championship game.

While it is likely they will face Penn State, don't rule out the Badgers just yet. The two teams will meet in the last game of the regular season. Michigan State's football program and their fans still have a bad taste in their mouth about how the last season ended, after getting a lower ranked bowl game than most thought the co-Big Ten Champs deserved. This year, they're looking forward to not sharing the title, and playing in the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1988.
