~ Technihouse Tips ~
Here are some Fall tips of what you need to know, and do, to get things around your house ready for winter.
Visually look at your roof for overhanging tree limbs and cut them back within three feet of your roof. The weight of ice or snow could cause them to sag and damage the shingles
Check for any loose or missing shingles
Make sure the chimney screen is secure to keep out birds, squirrels and raccoons
Clean out all gutters and secure any that are loose and sagging
Install storm windows
Check and replace gas and oil in the snow blower
Replace the snow blowers spark plug
Grease the snow blowers auger
Spray a non-stick solution (such as Pam cooking spray) on the snow shovels to keep the snow from sticking
Turn off the water to exterior hose bibbs from inside your house
Disconnect all garden hoses from all hose bibbs
Drain all gas from the lawn mower
Close any crawl space vents
Have the lawn sprinkler system winterized
