My Winter Tips for You
With dropping temps, snow & ice I thought I’d share a few thoughts that I personally have experienced:
EXTERIOR
1) Clear debris from gutters & check roof tabs – (This can be very expensive)
2) Check for air leaks around dryer vents, pipes, windows & doors and seal with insulation to keep our cold air and pests from entering – (close your garage door so mice don’t invade)
3) Insulate pipes in crawl space with heat tape
4) Discourage rot by removing any leaves or wood to earth around footings & decks.
FOR THE YARD
1) Rake & remove leaves within 30 feet of your home or cabin
2) Store hammocks, outdoor furniture & grills – (to avoid invasion from pests)
3) Have a bag of sand/salt to melt ice and avoid falls & injury – (I fell and cracked my tailbone) UGH
INTERIOR
1) Set your thermostat at 55 degrees
2) Service wood & pellet stoves & clean/sweep your chimney
3) Check attic insulation
4) Check furnace filters
YOUR VEHICLE
1) Carry a few cans of fix a flat & learn how to change your tire – (I had a flat and had no cell service)
2) Store extra water and warm clothing
3) Carry chains if you don’t have AWD or 4 wheel drive
