Winterizing Your HOME! Don't Forget!!!!!

I came across this blog post I wrote last year, and I actually thought it was relevent for now! Maybe a good time to remind your clients to prepare for winter? Replace the furnace filters and check all your window and door sealants. Hope this is helpful!

Winterizing your home.

Since I was just sending out my monthly homeowner reminders, I thought I would post a little something about maintenance for your home. I think one of the most overlooked items that we forget to do to maintain our home is also one of the most dangerous. Every November 1rst in my market I recommend that homeowners "winterize" their outdoor hosebibs. Other markets need to do this sometimes much earlier, or even not at all. Here in the Washington D.C. area the freeze usually starts to occur around November one. Failing to properly winterize your hosebibs can easily result in frozen pipes. Basically what happens is when the temperature outside drops below freezing the residual water in the line starts to freeze from the farthest point out and leach its way back into the house. When the pressure on that line becomes too much the pipes actually split causing sometimes serious water damage, but it isnt the serious leaks that are the problem, what can also occur is a small "pinhole" leak causing slow drips inside the walls of your home or in areas that are not checked regularly. And when you apply a water supply to something like this, the end result is Mold... The sad part is that this simple item can be corrected with a little bit of maintenance. Remember "frost-free" hosebibs are not completely resistant to bursting. The most important thing to remember is to ALWAYS remove your garden hose from your hosebibs during the winter. The residual water inside the hose make it much easier to cause this problem. Here is a typical procedure for winterizing your Hosebibs.

Step 1-Remove garden hoses

Step 2- Go into the home and shut off the indoor hosebib

Step 3 -Go back outside and open the outdoor hosebib.

Step 4- After ALL of the water inside the line has drained you may close it back up. At this point many older homes may require a frost protective cover, which can be purchased at any home improvement center.

Remember that all homes have different procedures for winterizing hosebibs, this is only intended as a guide as well as a reminder to do it!

Hope this helps.

Leonardtown Events - Christmas on the Square

Christmas on The Square is almost here. The perfect way to start off the celebration of Christmas! Thousands of local citizens gathered in Leonardtown on Friday night for the annual Christmas on the Square and Tree lighting. The festivities officially commenced at 5:00 p.m. As dusk fell onto the town square, street lamps and local shops lighted the thoroughfare. The town began to come alive as the streets filled with people; entertainers took to the stage; and horse-drawn carriages and wagons paced the streets carrying their passengers to and fro. Costumed characters from an era long gone could be seen wandering the street in their elegant evening dress. Food and drink were available everywhere with the proceeds from many sales going to local charities. Great activities for all of the family with a live Nativity Scene, horse and carriage rides, caroling and Santa's arrival. Holiday festivities, entertainment, music, food,

Dear friends,

As some of you know, I work as an Aqua Aerobics instructor in the Pax River base. One of my student's sons has cancer in his left eye. His name is Greg, he is 9 years old. Greg has received 12 treatments for a non-cancerous, glioma tumor attached to the optic nerve of the left eye. Because it is attached to the optic nerve, it is inoperable (at this point). Therefore, he receives chemo like many of the cancer patients.

Greg had a great idea to give back by donating new books to the children at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. New books, for safety reasons, appropriate for children from infant through age 16. The new books will be given as Christmas gifts to individual children. If you have used books in good condition, those will be donated to the pediatric unit as a whole. Please bring your books to Century 21 New Millennium California and I'll bring them to Holy Face Church where they are being collected.

Thank you in advance for your support in donating a new book for these children and supporting such a great cause, spreading a little bit of Christmas joy to those who are very sick,

Warmly,

Gabriela
