🚪⚠️ PSA: If someone’s knocking and promising attic insulation grants… it’s a scam, not a savings.

Logan City isn’t handing out weatherization money door-to-door, and we definitely haven’t stuffed your bill with magical rebate coupons.

❌ No attic insulation rebates
❌ No door-to-door reps
❌ No recent grant flyers

But!

✅ We do offer legit energy rebates (the kind that won’t involve a random stranger in your entryway). Check them out here:

When in doubt, call us. We’re way more helpful than Chad with a clipboard.

🧤🌿 Calling all weed warriors!

Logan Canyon needs YOU this Saturday, May 17, to help defend our trails from an invading army of noxious weeds (lookin’ at you, myrtle spurge 👀).

🌾 What’s the big deal about weeds?
Well, these aren’t your average dandelions. We’re talking about invasive troublemakers like myrtle spurge (toxic and spreading like gossip), Scotch thistle (rude and prickly), and dyer’s woad (not cute, despite the name). They crowd out native plants, wreck habitats for local wildlife, and generally ruin the vibe.

It’s the 7th Annual Weed Day, and yes—it’s as gritty and glorious as it sounds.

📍 Meet at First Dam at 9:00 AM
🧰 Bring gloves, tools, and your best “let’s rip these weeds out by the roots” energy
🌦️ Slight chance of showers—aka perfect weed-pulling weather

We’re especially targeting a sneaky infestation of myrtle spurge near the Highline and Gateway Trails. It’s toxic to the touch and spreading fast—so let’s stop it before it takes over like it did on the Wasatch Front.

Bring a friend, channel your inner nature avenger, and let’s give Logan Canyon the glow-up it deserves.

🪚 Warning: May Cause Sudden Urges to Build a Shed

We found a treasure trove of over 16,000 woodworking plans—and now we’re all walking around measuring things and muttering “I could totally build that.”

From birdhouses to backyard cabins, this digital plan vault is basically Pinterest with power tools.

Even if your last project involved duct tape and denial... these plans will make you look like a legend.

✨ Summertime Family Hack Alert! ✨

🧼 Summer Hack for Little Kids: The Sudsy Slip ‘n Slide That Cleans Your Kids AND Your Lawn

Take your regular plastic slip ‘n slide (or even a plastic tarp), and instead of just water… add a splash of tear-free bubble bath or baby shampoo to the sprinkler spray.

The result?
💦 Suds galore
🧼 Clean(ish) kids
🌱 A watered AND gently cleaned patch of grass

It’s backyard chaos with a side of “did I just multitask parenting and yardwork?” (Yes. Yes, you did.)

Bonus: Kids think it’s a foam party. You know… but rated G.

...can you get stuck behind a tractor, a herd of cows, and a college student on a longboard—all in the same five-minute drive.

See you around town!
