With the school semester coming to an end in the next month, many Redding teachers and students are going to have more free time on their hands. Some of you homeowners may be interested in getting your houses into shape-something you haven't been able to do while you were busy with school.
My wife's sister got a jump start on the maintenance of her home--overachiever that she is-- having already painted her kitchen and living room, and having had her shower and kitchen tiles regrouted.
But what if you don't know where to start? Or know what is most important? What if you suspect your problems are bigger than paint and grout?
It is advised that every 5 years you should check with a professional to see the condition of the systems in your home. Hiring a home inspector for a maintenance inspection is an integral part of a good maintenance program. A home inspector will spot red flags and be able to tell you of the health of your home, safety concerns and potential problems.
You rotate your tires, change your oil, and listen to all the different noises your car makes, to make your other big investment last longer and save money!
Find out the condition of your home today, and get a concise checklist so you can start budgeting and planning. Don't wait until your problems get big and costly. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
Call me Today and ask about a maintenance home inspection, especially before it gets too hot!
Shasta Lake City Damboree is the first Saturday in May every year. I've worked weekends for a few years, and then have been commuting since last year, so usually I miss it. This year I'm glad I got to be a part of it-It was Too Much Fun.
This morning was a pancake breakfast at the SLC Fire Department. Very yummy, served by football players and fireman.
At 10 am, came the parade down the boulevard.
Doug LaMalfa (I still say WOW, at our little parade?), Ron Largent and Leslie Morgan (These two vying for assessor/recorder) were amongst the participants.
Corning High School put on an awesome display with their band and flag crew. SLS did great with their drums.
There were lots of baton twirlers including the "Buckeye Cuties" who won an award.
There were pack goats, and then baby goats and horses (Our neighbor was pushing the wheelbarrow as the pooper scoopers-Go Jordan!).
There were lots of go carts- with Rotary Club having an awesome miniature big rig with super loud horn. Oasis Fun Park sporting their fun go carts (Great advertising-I wanted to play). Shriner's Hospital had fun pulling behind an oversized Fez hat.
There were lots of people giving out candy-thank you so much!
The show ended with a bang-the Asphalt Cowboys shooting up the straw hats (I had to ask my husband, is this safe?). Our hat/car still smells like gunpowder.
The day continued at Clair Engle Park with arts, crafts, local venders, Bouncey House (Our 3-year old James was very excited about this!) and food.
AND there is still more to come. Thanks City of Shasta Lake for putting on such a fun event!
