Winter is on its way and there's no stopping it, so we at TBNL want to make sure you're prepared. The following is a list of things you should to do before the white, fluffy mess hits.
-Winterize your lawn. This means raking up all the leaves and trash that was blown in by those autumn winds. Mowing for the last time wouldn't hurt either. If your mower is a mulching one, it's a great way to save on the back-breaking labor of raking.
-Put away all outdoor furniture. This means pretty much everything that you won't be using until spring. Some staff members at TBNL prefer to leave their grills out...there's nothing like cooking a nice, juicy steak in mid-January!
-Turn off outdoor faucets and remove hoses. You can leave the faucet open once you shut off the water from the inside.
-Seal up the leaks. If you feel drafts from doors or windows, get them sealed up. You can buy some cheap caulking material from your local hardware supplier. Trust us, it'll save you moola on your heating bill.
And while we're on the subject of heating, make sure you have plenty of air filters for your furnace. We recommend changing them about every two months. Check yours sooner if you feel the need.
-Buy winter supplies. Shovels, salt, and window de-icers are a great start. If you have a snowblower, good for you. If not, you're going to love shoveling the mounds of snow!
These are just a few tips to help you make it through those cold, snowy months. If you have more ideas, please feel free to contact us!
