Henry Murray’s Winter  Checklist

Take advantage of the beautiful fall weather to work on projects around your home to prepare for  common winter problems.

• Clean your gutters.

• Make sure downspouts move the water away from the home.

• Caulk  areas such as windows, doors and receptacles to keep the cold out.

• Have your furnace and chimney checked and cleaned annually.

• Vacuum out your air ducts.

• Keep cabinets on exterior walls, bathroom and laundry room doors open  to allow warm air to circulate.

• Remove screen windows and put up storm windows.

• Reverse the circulation of your ceiling fans.

An ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure? Better be safe than sorry? Whatever your reason, it is always best to be prepared. Personally, I just prefer to work outside when the weather is nice. Maybe after I am done I will hang my Christmas lights. Just kidding. We all know you have to wait until the coldest, wettest day in December to do that.
