I’m glad no one was hurt when part of the ceiling collapsed recently in a seacoast municipal building. Workers knew about leaks and cracks up there, but budget woes had delayed maintenance.
When a tight budget can allow for a PIG® Leak Diverter, that will be a good move in some cases like this. Hanging a Leak Diverter to drain away a leak may buy time and save money in the long run.

Here’s a worthwhile page from OSHA aimed at the cleaning industry, including both front-line workers in cleaning and maintenance and suppliers of cleaning products and services.
It includes links to info on health and safety standards, common hazards and related solutions, implementing a health and safety program and more.

Lots of us face temperature issues indoors at work: It’s too hot, it’s too cold …
Here’s how we cope, according to a survey just released by the International Facility Management Association (the link opens a PDF):
Here are categories where we have related products:
Okay, just kidding. But we do sell those.
HVAC Diffuser Filters and Deflectors
We have ways to constrain who can adjust the thermostat.
Yes, the survey notes that one way that hot office workers cool off is a “small wading pool under the desk to paddle the feet.” It’s hard to imagine a facility where this would be the best solution, but hey, our smallest PIG® Containment Pool would be perfect!

It’s chocolate that melts in your mouth, not in your hand.
But it’s not candy-coated.
And it’s low-calorie!
So we’re promised, anyway. It’ll hit the market in about two years.

Who knew there actually are names for fireworks patterns?
I discovered this at How Stuff Works. Then I made a screen video using their nifty guide and embellished the video with … well, you’ll see. It involves the products listed below, each available at newpig.com.
Have a safe and enjoyable Independence Day. Happy Birthday, America!
PIG® DRAINBLOCKER® Drain Cover
If I stayed up late, late, this would have come to my attention sooner, but …
Craig Ferguson needs a PIG® Leak Diverter.
Then he’ll be ready the next time there’s a hole in his ceiling and it’s pouring outside during taping. No need to bring out the rain gear nor fear kicking the bucket. The Leak Diverter will channel the leak away to a drain or container out of sight, and the audience will never even know that the Late Late Show set isn’t as weather-tight as Letterman’s.
So Craig—have your people call our people! Our order line is 1-800-HOT-HOGS® (468-4647). Toll-free from California and less glamorous states as well.

For anyone who enjoys a good storm … Interesting story on National Public Radio’s Morning Edition today.
Two scientists from Penn State recently returned from a real “Twister”-type research trip. It was one of the biggest tornado studies ever conducted.
You’ll find info on the project here. The photo tab has some incredible shots of what they saw. Such as this:
You can listen to the NPR story here. You’ll hear baseball-sized hail hitting the research van. Talk about striking audio … (get it?)
They mention the dents the van suffered, and just to see if we sell anything that helps with dents, I searched “dent” at newpig.com.
I didn’t see anything for dented vans, but we do have Light Pole Protectors—tough plastic shells for covering up dented (or scuffed or chipped, etc.) light pole bases. They might come in handy in tornado country.
