What You Should Know Before Taking Driving Lessons
Learning to drive is often a difficult and costly process.
But, once you have your licence, it will give you the freedom of driving from A
to B without relying on public transport. If you are looking into taking driving
lessons, here is what you should know before you get started, with help from East London Driving School.
Who is Allowed to Teach Me to Drive?
You don’t necessarily need to be taught by a driving instructor on how to drive. If you are on a budget, you can be taught by anyone who has a full driving licence for at least 3 years and is older than 21. But, they may teach you bad habits which are hard to “unlearn”, so we would recommend you enlist the services of a qualified and approved driving instructor from the start.
How To Get Proof Of Onward Travel When Travelling One-Way
For those of us who
like to travel on a one-way ticket, it is essential you get proof of onward
travel, otherwise you won’t be able to board your flight. You don’t necessarily
need to buy a return ticket to the destination you are leaving from. To help
you out in this situation, here are a few (legal) ways to get proof of onward
travel in a cost-effective way.
Buy A Refundable Ticket
Buying a refundable
ticket to attain proof of onward travel is a good idea, but you may need to
wait many months in order to get a refund. The only way to do this is to book
the return ticket before you depart, otherwise, it will not be possible.
Once you have arrived
at your destination, you can then go ahead and cancel the return ticket that
you have booked. Then, keep an eye on the refund. Some airlines are more strict
than others, and sometimes you only receive a refund as credit for future
flights.
What is a Blower Motor and How Do You Properly Maintain It?
Many of you will have heard of a blower motor, but you may
not be sure what it is actually is. Let’s put you right in the picture. A
blower motor can be best described as a component within the HVAC system of your
home. The motor functions by blowing hot air through the vents in your system
to keep your home warm. Similarly, it also blows cold air when you want to keep
your home cool.
Principally, there are two types of blower motors, namely, a
single-speed motor and a variable-speed motor. As the names suggest, a single-speed
blower motor consistent blows air at the same speed time after time. On the
other hand, a variable-speed motor is able to adjust itself to blow air at
varying levels depending on your requirements. Essentially, a blower is vital to
having a comfortable temperature in your home.
Tips on Taking Your Essay to the Next Level
Writing essays can be a difficult process, mainly because writers haven’t properly followed good practice when embarking on their essay. So, with this in mind, here are some tips to make your essay as good as it possibly can be.

Taking a Look at “Slice” – The New Way to Order Pizza
There are lots of food ordering apps on the market these
days, but one that is attempting to grab a slice of the pizza market is…Slice!
The app, which used to be known as MyPizza, allows the user
to order from up to 10,000 different pizzerias. This allows smaller independent
pizzerias the opportunity to get online without having to set up their own website
and deal with payments.
The ultimate aim of Slice is to make it as simple as
possible for you to order and enjoy pizza in the comfort of your own home on
your phone.
When we tried the app out, we were able to view a list of
available nearby pizzerias. Once you have chosen your favorite pizza retailer,
you can then go ahead and choose your pizza, as well as making any customizations.
If you have a friend or family member that doesn’t want pizza, there may be
pasta for sale, or other yummy alternatives to get their taste buds flowing.

The Importance of a Home Inspection Before Buying a Condo
When we think about buying a
condo, we often wrongly believe that they will be a lot easier to manage
and maintain in the future compared to a traditional house. I suppose there are
no driveways to repave, and you don’t have to be solely responsible for the
roof. But, it is important to note that things to do go wrong with condos, so
we would always advise that you carry out a home inspection on the condo before
you buy.
So, what do you need and your home inspector need to look out for
when carrying out a home inspection?
We would recommend that you check for…
• Any noticeable spotting on the floor and walls of the
condo. Also, if you notice that the floors are sloped, there is a chance that
this could be down to water damage.
• If you notice that some of
the walls are cracked, this may be because of a structural problem, which can
be expensive to rectify.
