Ready to Winterize?
Performing routine maintenance tasks as the seasons change is a good
way to keep your home in good repair all year long.
Making frequent small repairs saves you the hassle of making bigger
or more expensive repairs in the future, while at the same time
enhancing the safety and comfort of your home.
Here are some tips to "winterize" your house:
* Clean the clothes dryer exhaust duct, damper and space under the
dryer
* Clean the kitchen exhaust hood and air filter
* Test all ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets
* Check the water hoses on the clothes washer, refrigerator
icemaker, and dishwasher for cracks and bubbles
* Wax and buff all wooden floors
* Disconnect all garden hoses
* Recharge fire extinguishers or purchase a new one
* Inspect and touch up interior paint
Postponed or neglected maintenance can become a major issue when
it's time to sell your home. In fact, it's still true that a
well-maintained home in good repair will almost always sell for a
higher price.
If you would like some help in deciding what needs to be done to
prepare your home for sale, please feel free to call any time.

| Baby,
it's cold outside! Make sure your pets have warm,
dry shelter during long winter nights. |

If you
are going on a winter vacation, set the thermostat
in your home no lower than 55 degrees.
