Spring Maintenance – Time to Hit That “To-Do” List!
It has been said that winter passes slowly … unless you have a balloon payment due in April. One other thing makes time fly; a long to-do list. One minute you’re thinking you’ve got all spring and summer and the next thing you know, the weather is turning cold again. Let’s get started on some of those simple, but important, maintenance projects now.
Something that can cause a real pain when ignored is a washer hose. Yep, those hoses that connect to your washing machine. You probably have never thought of them. They can get old and brittle so its a good idea to change them now while they’re still working. Once they start to leak, you’ll wish you had thought ahead.
While we’re in the laundry area, how about that dryer? It can collect lint as it is designed to but it can also create lint where you don’t want it. For fire safety reasons, you might want to vacuum behind the dryer. Check the vent too. It might be time for a replacement.
How about all those light bulbs in the “I never think about that one” areas?
Front porch, back porch, garage, shed, flood lights, security lights, basement, pump house, dog house, (ok, maybe that one was a stretch) but you know the ones. If you haven’t been outside much in the winter, you haven’t noticed if they are out. Now, with spring rolling in, you’ll really need those lights. Let’s make sure we’ve got good bulbs in all of them.
That thing about “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”? That’s true. Stop by and we’ll help you do some preventing!
