Choose the best quality paint you can afford; it lasts longer. Experts estimate that the outside of a house should be painted every 5-7 years, but less-expensive paint may start peeling or fading in 4 years or less while really high-quality paint will hold up a bit longer.
âThe wiper was introduced in Nebraska in 1979 in Bluestem Lake, not far from Lincoln,â said Bauer, âand since then the program has been expanded to 23 reservoirs.

Anderson was granted U.S. patent number 743,801 for her novel windshield wiper in November of 1903. By 1916, windshield wipers were standard equipment on all American cars. Although upgrades continue to be made to the windshield wiper, the basic principle and function that Anderson invented remains unchanged. Some notable enhancements include automatic wipers, which were patented in 1917 by Charlotte Bridgwood; intermittent wipers, which were patented by Robert W. Kearns in 1967; and heated windshield wiper blades.
