Thanksgiving came and went, but the extra pounds we gained over this Thanksgiving holiday stayed with us. The average person gains about a pound over the Thanksgiving holiday, but those who are already overweight tend to gain even more. One study found that overweight people gain five pounds or more during the holidays. Your Denver Moving Professionals want to inform you of another option besides dragging yourself to the gym each morning. Denver to Durango, a free 486 mile trail, is open to hikers, horse riders, and bicyclists. On the trail you will experience waterfalls, mountains and wildlife. Stop running on a treadmill that is headed nowhere; take time away for yourself or for your family and go to the Denver to Durango Trail, the view alone will make it worth your while. Who knows, maybe you will shed those thanksgiving pounds off along the way!

For the sake of good ol’ Mother Nature, Colorado lawmakers are currently contemplating a mandate which would require all newly constructed buildings to be equipped with low-flow toilets. The law would also apply to bathrooms undergoing renovations. There is speculation over whether passing the law would be an apt move considering that it would apply to Colorado residents’ own homes; however, many people and organizations are already jumping onboard the proposal. Your Denver residential movers are definitely all for environmentally-friendly new laws, and will be happy to provide removal services for future toilet replacement projects. Keep it green, Colorado!

What do you do when drivers just don’t seem to get the hint that reckless driving is not appreciated in your neighborhood? Do you hire professional movers to relocate to a safer neighborhood? Or do you take matters into your own hands? Well, if you are a resident of Larimer County, you may simply join in a neighborhood effort to construct and maintain man-made speed bumps to combat the issue. That is what several residents living along Raw-Hide Flats Road settled on, and for years their six speed bumps which they made with dirt managed to control the speeding issue which mounted-speed-limit signs as well as home-made “slow down” signs failed to accomplish previously. Your Denver movers don’t suggest going the route of the aforementioned residents as local law enforcement has recently gotten involved which has proven less than favorable for all involved.
