I just wanted to remind you that Sunday, November 6, Daylight Saving Time ends. Don’t forget to roll back that clock an hour on Saturday night or Sunday morning.
I also like to use the time change to remind me to perform some basic home maintenance tasks. Perhaps this list will help you as well:
Frank Köhne | sxc- When it comes time to change those clocks on Sunday take a moment and check a few things to make sure your home is safe and ready for the winter.
- Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Test batteries and replace.
- Interior Caulking: Inspect caulking around tubs, showers, and sinks; replace any if it is deteriorating.
- HVAC: Change filters, if required.
- Toilet: Check for leaks and water run-on.
- Garbage Disposal: Tighten drain connections and fasteners.
- Review Your Homeowner’s Insurance: You added that deck over the summer. But is it covered by your home owner’s insurance? Now is the time to find out! (Also not a bad time to see if you could get better rates try iWantMyQuote.com!)
- Dryer: Vacuum lint from ducts and surrounding areas.
- Washer: Clean water inlet filters; check hoses and replace them if they are leaking.
- Wiring: Check for frayed cords and wires; repair or replace them as needed.
- Range/Stove Hood: Wash fan blades and housing.
- Review Your Mortgage: How long has it been since you examined whether you could save money with refinancing? Take that step today!
A little regular maintenance can save thousands down the road when you decide to list your home. Hope you’re well, and enjoy that “extra hour” of sleep!
