Winter is Coming…
Overly dramatic? Perhaps. Before you settle in for a little winter hibernation and lounging in front of the fire it’s time to take care of a few home maintenance items.
In the Garden
- Disconnect your hoses, turn off the outside water, and drain your irrigation system to keep it free of burst pipes and costly leaks.
- Check your roof for missing, loose, or damaged shingles and replace.
- Make sure you have snow shovels at the ready and easy to access.
- Order seeds and dream of spring.
Around the House
- Seal leaky doors and windows with weatherstripping and/or caulk.
- Get your heating system inspected and change your filters.
- Clean your fireplace.
- Test those smoke and carbon monoxide detectors again.
