HOW TO PREPARE YOUR HOME FOR summer

As the weather begins to warm up, it’s time to start thinking about getting your home ready for the summer months. Preparing your home for the summer can help you avoid costly repairs and keep your home in top condition. In this article, we’ll explore some essential maintenance tips and tricks to help you prepare your home for summer.

Check Your Air Conditioning System

The first and most important thing you should do is check your air conditioning system. Make sure it’s functioning correctly and that the filters are clean. If your air conditioner is more than ten years old, it may be time to consider replacing it with a more energy-efficient model.

Clean Your Gutters

Cleaning your gutters is crucial for preventing water damage to your home during the summer months. Clear out any debris or leaves from your gutters to ensure that they are working correctly.

Inspect Your Roof

Summer storms can cause significant damage to your roof, so it’s essential to inspect it before the season starts. Check for any signs of damage, such as missing or broken tiles, and repair any issues as soon as possible.

Service Your Lawnmower

If you have a lawn, make sure your lawnmower is in good working condition. Have it serviced if necessary, and stock up on fuel and oil so that you’re prepared for the summer ahead.

Test Your Sprinkler System

A malfunctioning sprinkler system can waste water and damage your lawn. Test your sprinklers to ensure they’re working correctly, and make any repairs if necessary.

Seal Your Windows and Doors

Drafty windows and doors can let hot air in and cool air out, making it harder to keep your home comfortable during the summer months. Check for drafts and seal any gaps with weatherstripping or caulking.

Prep Your Outdoor Living Space

Summer is the perfect time to enjoy your outdoor living space. Make sure it’s ready for use by cleaning your patio furniture, filling any planters with fresh soil, and stocking up on sunscreen and bug spray.

By following these tips and tricks, you can ensure that your home is ready for the summer months. A little bit of maintenance now can save you time, money, and stress in the long run. So, take some time to prepare your home for the season ahead and enjoy a summer filled with fun, relaxation, and peace of mind.

BE READY, PIPES CAN BURST IN ANY HOUSE

the home three years before, and Dr. Larsen and his wife trusted me. Little did they know, I had no clue how to build the three simple walls needed for the small new bathroom.

By Tim Carter

You might think that everything is rainbows and unicorns at my house. After all, I'm a home improvement expert. What could go wrong?

Do you want to build a new wall inside your home?

I survived with the help of a few phone calls to my boss. It was a humbling experience as I discovered you don't know what

You can't always do this in an existing home, especially if the ceilings in the room are finished with drywall or plaster. As you tilt the wall up, it binds against the ceiling. If you're challenged by a finished ceiling, you'll most likely have to install your top and bottom plates, making sure the plates are

Answer: the exact same things that go wrong without warning at your home.

Perhaps you're trying to create a new small space for a home office or hobby room, or maybe you have a bigger appetite and are transforming a dank basement into a finished living space. But you have no idea where to start. I've been there. I've experienced your anxiety.

Several nights ago, a disaster unfolded in my home in the middle of the night. It actually started hours before, but my wife didn’t alert me to a tiny clue she had felt earlier in the day. As it turns out, a mouse gnawed at a plastic PEX water line that was running from the basement up to a second-floor bathroom. The pipe passed through an oversized hole created by the plumber more than 20 years ago. Had the plumber installed caulk to fill the hole, I’d not be typing this.

Every now and then it's interesting to go back in time. I clearly remember having to build my first partition wall inside a house. I was a soaking wet-behind-theears carpenter working for a small remodeling company. One of my college professors, Dr. Larsen, had asked me to install a half bathroom in his home. I had no idea what to do, so I told him that my boss could do the job.

Even though I couldn’t see the leak, I deduced that the water had to be leaking above the master bedroom. The only water above that room was a second-floor bathroom. I immediately turned off the cold and hot-water valves on the manifold in the boiler room, stopping all water from going to that room. By then the damage was done. I know It could have been so much worse.

you don't know. Keep in mind this was decades before the Internet and YouTube. You have no idea what an advantage you now have when you have to educate yourself about how to repair and build things around your home. Count your blessings!

immediately? Based on the email I receive from homeowners like you, qualified help is getting harder and harder to find at a moment’s notice. Are you able to make emergency repairs to your water lines yourself? My guess is you have no idea how to solder copper water lines.

As I often remind readers, I didn’t build the house I currently live in. Had I done so, I can assure you no mice would be inside, and even if they did somehow sneak in through an open garage door, they’d not be able to travel through the walls and ceilings at will as they currently do. The builder of my home was a dunce. I was only supposed to live in this transitional house for two years, but now I’m going on year 14. That’s a story for another column.

First and foremost, you need to know how to shut off the water in your home in case you have a leak. Just knowing the location of the valve is not good enough.

Once the simple plans were drawn and the contract signed, I was sent to my professor's house to start the job. I had painted the outside of

The mischievous rodent ended up nibbling through the plastic pipe just enough to create a silent leak that reacted to gravity. Water soon ponded under the hardwood floor in our bedroom, causing it to swell. My lovely wife felt a new bump in the floor as she walked on the oriental rug that covers the floor but didn’t think too much about it.

Hours later, in the middle of the night, I had a nature call to the bathroom and felt a much larger hump in the floor that had never been there before. But in my sleep-walking state, I noticed it but crawled back under the covers thinking I’d inspect later to see what toy the cats might have shoved under the edge of the carpet. When I woke up at dawn, I immediately saw we had a serious problem. By then, the water had traveled to a basement bedroom, ruining the ceiling and laminate floor down there.

plumb in the same plane. You'll then cut each wall stud to fit snugly between the plates and toenail them in place. Drill angled pilot holes in the ends of the wall studs for the nails. Use no less than 3-inch-long 16d sinker nails to connect the wall studs to the plates.

The good news is you don’t need to know how to solder copper. Or, if you have PEX tubing like me, you don’t need to have special tools for the most part to stop a slow or catastrophic leak.

Building a new interior wall in an existing house can be much different from doing it on a new home job site. When we carpenters build a wall for a new home, we typically build it flat on the floor. Once all the studs are nailed to the bottom and top plates, we tilt the wall up and secure it so it doesn't fall over.

What are the lessons here?

First and foremost, you need to know how to shut off the water in your home in case you have a leak. Just knowing the location of the valve is not good enough. When was the last time it was exercised? I’ve been a master plumber since 1981, and I can tell you that valves need to be exercised just like your body. You need to turn them on and off at least twice a year. You may discover that when you go to turn a valve off, it doesn’t turn or you break the valve.

In our case, my wife and I were lucky that we didn't lose any irreplaceable or sentimental items. Will you be so lucky? Do you know where the hidden water lines are in your home? Where do they run across ceilings? If a water leak happens, what will get wet below?

Now is the time to move family treasures in your home to new locations where water, heat or sunlight will not damage them. Think about placing extremely valuable things in waterproof containers.

What happens if you can’t get a plumber to come to your rescue

If there is no ceiling, you can tilt the wall up so long as you orient the wall in the same direction as the floor joists above. You simply make sure the top of the wall rises up in between two parallel floor joists. Once the wall is vertical, you can then slide it into position under

Should you have a catastrophic full-pressure leak, you can cut the copper pipe, slide on an open ball valve and use a press tool to crimp the valve onto the copper tubing. It takes seconds. Once it's crimped, you turn the valve handle and the water stops flowing. The only issue is you have to have the valve on hand and you need the special, expensive crimping tool. They can be rented, but hundreds or thousands of gallons of water could have flooded your home before you get back from the tool-rental business.

My recommendation your new it at your rough opening measurements Measure of the where attached the door. measurement. of your much the frame the door. be trimming when you you want between the top You height just one-quarter the factory Trust me, install over drywall gap between and the ©2021 Tim Content Agency,

Believe it or not, there’s an even easier way to repair leaking copper, PEX, PE-RT, and CPVC water lines. You can cut the pipe, remove any burrs and push onto the end of the pipe pushto-connect fittings. My go-to choice is TotalFit ones made by Uponor. I have Uponor PEX in my home. If you can put the cap back on a Sharpie permanent marker, you can install these magic push-to-connect fittings.

It’s key for you to have an assortment of them on hand as well as the correct tool to cut the pipe cleanly. You might also get the special inexpensive deburring tool. Once you see how easy it is to make an emergency repair, you’ll sleep like a baby.

SPRING PROJECTS TO HELP YOUR HOME SELL

Spring is the perfect time to prepare your home for sale. With the warmer weather and longer days, you can tackle some projects that will help your home stand out in a competitive real estate market. In this article, we'll explore some spring projects to help your home sell.

CURB APPEAL

The exterior of your home is the first thing potential buyers will see, so it's essential to make a good impression. Consider repainting the front door, adding new house numbers, and cleaning up the landscaping. You may also want to power wash the exterior of your home, as well as the driveway and sidewalks.

DECLUTTER AND DEEP CLEAN

Decluttering and deep cleaning are critical steps when preparing your home for sale. You want to create a space that feels open, airy, and inviting. Consider donating or selling items you no longer need or use. Deep clean your home from top to bottom, including windows, carpets, and appliances. You may want to hire a professional cleaning service to help ensure that your home looks and smells its best.

PAINT AND TOUCH-UPS

A fresh coat of paint can make a significant difference in the appearance of your home. Consider painting high-traffic areas like the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms. You may also want to touch up any scuffs or dings on the walls and baseboards. Don't forget to repaint or touch up the exterior trim and shutters as well.

UPDATE THE KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS

The kitchen and bathrooms are two of the most critical areas in a home. Consider updating these rooms with new countertops, faucets, and lighting fixtures. You may also want to consider refacing or painting the cabinets to give them a fresh look. If your budget allows, replacing appliances and fixtures can be a significant selling point for potential buyers.

STAGING

Staging your home can make a big difference in how potential buyers perceive the space. Consider hiring a professional stager who can help you rearrange furniture, add decorative items, and create an overall inviting atmosphere. Staging can help potential buyers visualize themselves living in the home and can help make your home stand out from others on the market.

In conclusion, there are many spring projects you can tackle to help your home sell. From enhancing your curb appeal to updating your kitchen and bathrooms, these projects can help make your home more attractive to potential buyers. By taking the time to prepare your home for sale, you can increase your chances of selling quickly and at a good price.

ACCESS TO LISTINGS

Real estate agents have access to a broad range of listings, including properties that may not be available to the general public. This means they can help you find the right home or buyer more efficiently. They also have access to information about properties that have recently sold, which can be helpful when determining the appropriate price for your home.

NEGOTIATION SKILLS

Negotiating the purchase or sale of a home can be challenging. Real estate agents have excellent negotiation skills and can help you get the best possible deal. They can provide an objective perspective, which can be helpful in preventing emotions from clouding your judgment. They can also negotiate on your behalf, which can be a timesaver and help reduce stress.

ASSISTANCE WITH PAPERWORK

Real estate transactions involve a lot of paperwork, from contracts to disclosures. A real estate agent can assist with this paperwork, ensuring that everything is completed accurately and on time. They can explain the documents to you and help you understand the terms and conditions. They can also help ensure that you have all the necessary documents to complete the transaction.

In conclusion, working with a real estate agent can be a significant advantage when buying or selling a home.

EXPLORING THE BENEFITS OF OPEN HOUSES

Open houses have been a traditional part of the real estate industry for many years. They provide an opportunity for potential buyers to view a property in person, ask questions, and get a feel for the space. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of open houses and why they can be an essential part of the home selling process.

ATTRACT POTENTIAL BUYERS

Open houses can be an effective way to attract potential buyers to your property. By advertising the event in local newspapers, online listings, and social media, you can generate interest in your home. Many buyers prefer to attend open houses as it allows them to view multiple properties in a short period, making it easier to compare and narrow down their choices.

SHOWCASE YOUR HOME

Open houses provide a unique opportunity to showcase your home in the best possible light. By decluttering, deep cleaning, and staging your home, you can create an inviting and attractive space that will appeal to potential buyers. It's important to ensure that your home is wellmaintained and in good condition before hosting an open house to make the best impression.

RECEIVE FEEDBACK

Open houses can be a great way to receive feedback from potential buyers. By talking to visitors and answering their questions, you can gain insight into what buyers are looking for in a home. This information can be valuable when making future decisions about the sale of your home, such as adjusting the price or making repairs.

BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH REAL ESTATE AGENTS

Open houses can also be an opportunity to build relationships with real estate agents. Many agents attend open houses with their clients, and by networking with them, you may be able to find an agent who is a good fit for your needs. You can also get a sense of the local real estate market by talking to agents and asking them about trends and pricing.

INCREASE EXPOSURE

Hosting an open house can increase exposure for your home. Even if visitors aren't interested in purchasing your property, they may know someone who is. By spreading the word about your open house, you can increase the likelihood that someone will see your property and consider it as an option.

In conclusion, open houses can be a valuable part of the home selling process. They provide an opportunity to attract potential buyers, showcase your home, receive feedback, build relationships with real estate agents, and increase exposure. If you're considering selling your home, talk to your real estate agent about hosting an open house and how it can benefit your sale.
