ARE YOU READY FOR WINTER?

Some homeowners take it for GRANTED that just as how they PREPARE themselves for the winter there homes also need those same ATTENTION.
Here are a few tips you can take to get your home ready for the winter. LETS GO!!!!

CHECK, CLEAN, MAINTAIN, INSULATE, AND OWN

1. CHECK for "ALL" cracks, holes in and around your doors and windows, please don't forget to check your wood floors too. You can either add or change the strips in and around these areas. Sometimes if need be you might have to change some doors and windows.

2. CLEAN your chimnes, vents , and drains.

3. MAINTAIN all your pipes and plumbing systems. You might want to get a professional plumber to come and do a routine test on your boiler unit. For those who have a fire place just make sure it is clean.

4. INSULATE all areas in the house. If you have a attic check to make sure it is properly insulated, because cold air travels down NOT up.
The basement is very important because thats where all your pipes are located. So you want to make sure everywhere is properly insulated. Be aware also of the different types of INSULATION they have out there. Some are NOT TOO SAFE TO HAVE.

5. OWNing multiple flashlights, candles, extra batteries, and matches are very important to have. Make sure you have defrosters for your cars and for your door locks. You can find some of these at your local car shops. We must not wait also to stock up on shovels, salts, and if need be a snowblower. Please be advise that some SALTS will crack up your ground. So see which is the best to use on your grounds. You don't want to be fixing an area when the winter is over.

O.K thats it, there's alot more you can do, but I'm pretty sure you'll make due with these.Try them a see how mch of a difference it makes. STAY WARM...
