Snuggle up in a warm house this winter Home improvement experts offer winterization tips

By Melonie Roberts reporter@monett-times.com

Old Man Winter is just around the corner, and area residents may want to take advantage of these final mild days to winterize their homes well in advance of the arctic blast and above normal snowfall predicted in this year’s Farmer’s Almanac.

“It might be time for people to replace the weatherstripping around doors and windows,” said Mark Roberts, a sales associate at Lowe’s Home Improvement Store in Monett.

“There are various types of weatherstripping available, along with fill material that can be sealed with caulk for large gaps.

“We also have window sealing kits for people to put over their windows and sashes. You would be surprised at how much draft can be cut down by that simple step alone. It will alleviate lost heat when wind comes in through the cracks.”

For door thresholds, Roberts suggests either replacing the existing unit with a rubber or vinyl seal that snugs down into a saddle to close the air gap from the outdoors or using a door blocker, either homemade or commercially purchased.

“People can roll a bath towel to lay in front of the door, or get one from a retailer,” Roberts said. “Another source of drafts are uncovered air conditioning units. Those should be covered and insulated from the elements to prevent cold air flowing into the house through the openings.”

Roberts also recommended switching the direction of the ceiling fan blades.

“Clean them first, or it will be snowing dust bunnies,” he said. “There is usually a switch on the motor that indicated which direction the blades need to be turning in summer and winter. By running a ceiling fan, it will keep warm air closer to the floor and help circulate it through the house.”

Other supplemental heat sources for the home, office or outbuilding include these electric heaters. Various sizes are available for different applications, from whole room to individual space warmth. “Radiant heat warms the air in a room,” said Mark Roberts, a sales associate at Lowe’s Home Improvement Store in Monett. “Other types of space heaters warm surfaces.” Melonie Roberts/

reporter@monett-times.com

Roberts said furnace filters also need to be checked monthly.

“They collect a lot of dust and debris. You’ll have them circulating through your vents if you don’t replace them regularly. It will help cut down on allergens and dust, as well.”

Everyone knows how inconvenient it can be to have frozen water pipes, and the cold, costly repairs that accompany burst lines when the temperatures drop below 32 degrees.

“Insulate the water lines,” Roberts said. “People can also turn water heat-

er temperatures down to 120 degrees in the winter and save about 10 percent on their energy bills over the course of the year.”

Fireplaces pose their own hazards when being used for the first time in the fall.

“Clean those flues,” Roberts said.

“There are professional chimney sweeps, or we have the materials here for cleaning out the flue. There is a special log, which contains chemicals that will loosen the built-up creosote, which will fall into the grate and can

be cleaned out.

“People will want to make sure their chimney screens are in place and no bird’s nests have been built inside the chimney over the course of the summer,” he continued. “Those are definite fire hazards.”

For houses with more than one chimney, which is not in use, there is a product that can be easily installed to prevent backdrafts from the flue into the living areas of the home.

“It’s like a big balloon,” Roberts Continued on Page 6

Those using fireplaces this year as a primary or supplemental heat source should make sure chimneys, pipes and flues are well cleaned before use. Debris such as dead leaves, small branches and bird nests can cause flue fires that result in significant damage to the home. Creosote buildup can also cause fires in chimneys. Lowe’s Home Improvement Store carries chimney cleaning supplies. “There are also professional services people can call to have their chimney’s cleaned if they aren’t able to do it themselves,” said Mark Roberts, a sales associate at the store.

said. “You push it into the chimney and inflate it and it molds to the flue. Most chimneys have dampers that don’t close completely. This product is really very easy to install and helps cut down on drafts.”

Roberts said cleaning the gutters of fall twigs, leaves and debris will also help prevent developing roof problems due to the accumulation of ice and snow.

“You want those gutters clear so when the snow melts it has a place to go,” he said. “If gutters are clogged and

water can’t drain properly, they can pull away from the roof and cause damage.”

Those who are familiar with Mother Nature’s propensity to distribute generous amounts of heavy snow and ice on electrical lines may want to consider getting a back up source of power.

“Ice storms are a big deal here,” Roberts said. “They are very nasty. People need to have their heating units ‘tuned-up’ and checked to make sure they are operating according to Continued on Page 7

Nancy Gonzalez, a shopper at Lowe’s Home Improvement Store in Monett, was recently checking out various types of pipe insulation at the store.

“We also carry pipe wrap and heat tape,” said Mark Roberts, a sales associate at the store.

John Mills and Edward Tate recently examined replacement thresholds for doorways. With proper weatherstripping, doors and windows will decrease air gaps, and the subsequent drafts, that can cut energy efficiency. Melonie

the manufacturer’s specifications. We also have generators that can power a portion of the house, or whole house units designed to kick on when the power goes out. We have installers who can assess which is best for each house or application.

“We also have ventless heaters that run on propane or natural gas, along with and wood or pellet stoves that can serve as a secondary heat source in the winter. Lowering the thermostat by 1 degree in the winter time can help

reduce energy costs by up to 3 percent.

Roberts recommended using Great Stuff to seal around cracks and to fill gaps where heat can be lost along siding, window and door seams.

“You’d be surprised at how these simple steps can save on energy costs this winter,” Roberts said. “And, while we’re hoping it’s not going to be a bad winter, it’s best to be prepared for that eventually ahead of time.”

Man is slow to join wife and daughters after move

D

EAR ABBY: My four girls and I recently moved from Texas to Florida to help out my in-laws. My husband, “Jeff,” made a big deal about not wanting to move without a job, so he stayed behind.

Now I feel like a single parent, and even though I hide it from my daughters, I am depressed. I haven’t been able to find work, and Jeff says he doesn’t want to come here for several more months.

My husband and I have been together 14 years, and this is tearing me up inside. He seems to be treating this issue as a joke. I suspect he likes not having the responsibility of a wife and kids.

Our youngest is 6 months old and she’s growing up without her daddy!

Please help me figure this out.—LONELY AND DEPRESSED DEAR LONELY: How long has this been going on? Three weeks?

Three months? Tell your husband that because you can no longer tolerate being separated, you are moving back to Texas. Be sure to mention that the responsibility of helping HIS parents should not be yours alone. Your concerns about your baby girl are valid. She should be bonding with both her parents right now—and the separation may make it more difficult for her.

DEAR ABBY: Last February we lost my 14-year-old niece to suicide. Needless to say, it has been very hard on

the family, especially her father, who is my brother.

The two of them were inseparable.

Her mother has been playing the “perfect mother” card since then, even though all they did was fight. Her latest move has the entire family appalled. “Mom” is planning a birthday party for my niece, with a DJ and everything, even though she never had one for her while she was alive.

We are all worried about my brother’s state of emotional well being and how he will respond once he finds out. How do I approach her with my concerns and put a stop to the party?— APPALLED AUNT IN THE EAST DEAR APPALLED: You shouldn’t and you can’t. Have a talk with your brother about this and suggest grief counseling for himself and his wife if they haven’t already had any. The poor woman may be planning to have the party out of guilt because she didn’t host one while her daughter was alive, or because her relationship with the girl wasn’t a good one.

She may also be unable to accept that her child is gone and not thinking rationally. What a sad

situation.

DEAR ABBY: My wife cleans our hand-held vacuum in the kitchen sink. I think this particular appliance is probably the dirtiest one in the house and should be cleaned outside, not in the kitchen sink where food is prepared. She says she cleans the sink thoroughly afterward.

I’m grossed out by the whole thing. What do you think?—PEEVED UP NORTH DEAR PEEVED: I think you’re grossed out by the IDEA that your hand-held vacuum is the

dirtiest appliance in the house, but please calm yourself. People wash all kinds of things in the kitchen sink—children, pet dishes, the soles of shoes. As long as your wife cleans and sanitizes the sink afterward, you should be safe.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
