Earthquake Proof Cabinets - A Wise Home Improvement

Earthquake Proof Cabinets - A Wise Home Improvement

Are you looking for a home improvement project to do around the house; something that will add value to your home, but not a project that will send you to the poor house during this recession? If this is the type of a project you are looking for I have a couple of ideas.

First of all, it makes sense to retrofit your cabinets around the home. Especially if you have young children, and you want to make sure they don't get into any items that could hurt them. But even if you don't, you might consider retrofitting your cabinets and making them Earthquake proof.

Despite what people think there's no such thing as earthquake season and quakes can come at any time. Even those people who do not live in known Earthquake areas may be jolted into a rude awakening when the ground below them starts shaking. It makes sense to do the obvious home improvements to keep your family from harm during a big quake; such as strapping your water heaters, and fastening your largest and heaviest furniture to actual studs in the wall.

Still, you mustn't forget all your breakable items there in all your cabinets. When a big one comes, the cabinet doors will fly open and everything on the shelves will be launched like a missile through the kitchen, across rooms, and onto the floor of your home.

This can make a complete mass, not to mention cost you thousands of dollars in broken goods, or even destroyed family heirlooms. I hope you will please consider this very easy home-improvement project. One that must be done before the big one comes. Think on it and then take action.
