When Buying or Selling a Home, or Sprucing Up Your Summer House After a Long Winter
Creative Living 51 Digest.indd 1
2/19/19 10:34 AM
Summer is here, and that means it’s vacation home buying season. It’s easy to get caught up in things like curb appeal, remodeled kitchens and staged living rooms. But be sure you invest in these important and often overlooked issues around any home you’re looking to purchase.
Chimneys and Oven Filters.
Attic Insulation.
Soot can build up in chimneys relatively quickly. Which could mean carbon monoxide poisoning (best case scenario you have some wicked hallucinations) or it could pose a substantial fire hazard. Dick van Dyke isn’t the only chimney sweepers around – find one to clean your chimney, or learn how to DIY it safely. Like chimneys, ovens and range filters can also get clogged with grease, posing a major fire hazard. Make sure they stay clean and spiffy.
Attic insulation can be done poorly, which results in heat loss in colder months and heat gain in the warmer months, leading to high energy bills. Consult a professional to see if more needs to be added.
Caulk Around the Bathtub and Seals Around Fixtures. Deterioration can remove caulk and grout around bathtubs, which can cause leaks and costly water damage around your tub. You can determine if there is insufficient grout by checking between tiles and closures for voids. Press on the caulk to check its integrity – if it’s too spongy, it’s weak. Seals around kitchen and bathroom sink fixtures can become loose too, damaging cabinets below. Visually examine seals and test them to see if they feel loose.
Creative Living 51 Digest.indd 2
Loose Toilet Seats. Not only are they uncomfortable to sit on, they can also be a sign of a bigger issue. If the seal at the base has failed, water can leak to the floor below, causing significant damage. If your toilet feels shaky or loose, have the seal replaced.
Overloaded Outlets. The Internet of Things is slowly transforming the way our homes should be wired. But our outlets can’t always handle the plethora of energy sucking devices we throw at them. Call up a certified electrician to install additional outlets so your home can handle the increased electrical load of 2019.

Ahh, owning a pool means endless summer swims, tiki cocktails, children who are consistently entertained...and work. Lots and lots of work. As any pool owner will tell you, those glorious turquoise swimming holes come with a ton of responsibility. The truth is, pools require regular upkeep and maintenance, like weekly vacuuming, pH testing, and filter inspections. But once you understand the cost of owning the pool, and how to care for it, you’ll avoid the common mistakes that make pool ownership a drag. So keep up the fun in the sun this summer with these tips:
KNOW YOUR CHEMICALS. Under-maintained pools aren’t only gross to look at, they can also contain dangerous bacteria. The flip side, however, of over chlorinating can cause swimming pool rash and eye irritation. You don’t have to be a chemistry major to figure it out though. Just use chlorine and pH testing strips to check pool chemical levels at least once a week.
LEARN TO USE YOUR POOL VACUUM. How often you need to vacuum depends on how often you skim the pool. Leaves and junk on the surface will eventually sink to the bottom. That’s where vacuums come in. From automated robotic cleaners to handheld systems, a vacuum is a key ingredient to a healthy pool.
CHECK YOUR WATER LEVEL. Everyday play can cause major fluctuations in your pool water levels. The proper water level is halfway up the skimmer line. If your water levels get too low it can ruin your pool’s pump. All you have to do is grab a hose, fill it up, and check the chemical level.
Creative Living 51 Digest.indd 4
PRACTICE QUICK POOL CLEANING. Pool cleaning is just like house cleaning – doing a few chores every day can prevent a major mess at the end of the week. One of the easiest and most important maintenance chores is skimming the top of the pool every day for leaves, sticks, dead bugs and other debris. It also helps circulate the water, and keeps you from having to add chlorine too often. Make sure to clean out the strainer basket and scrub the side of the pool with a brush or pumice stone about once a week to prevent algae buildup. It’s pretty easy to maintain a pool properly, but if you don’t have the time, call in the pros. A pool involves a lot of tedious upkeep, but by doing a little work on your pool every day can make pool ownership easier for you and will keep your pool in better shape for longer. And consistent pool maintenance will allow you to have some fun in the sun, no maintenance

KEEP YOUR HOME
SAFE AND DRY
DURING HURRICANE AND FLASH FLOOD SEASON Creative Living 53 Digest1.indd 3
4/19/19 12:37 PM
June 1 is the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season, and it will continue through November 30. Hurricanes aren’t the only water-related danger to your home and property during the summer months. With an increase in thunderstorms, summer also brings an uptick in flash floods. Hurricane and flood warnings should not be taken lightly. If you live in a coastal area or a region prone to flash foods, be sure to take precautionary steps to keep your home as safe and as dry as possible.
Preparedness Tips:
Landscaping Tips:
yy Keep loose items, like patio furniture, relatively secure at all times. You never know when strong winds or a thunderstorm will come through.
yy Hurricane force winds turn landscaping materials into missiles that can break windows and doors.
yy Keep boards handy in your garage or shed, just in case you need to board up your windows. Alternatively, install storm shutters to protect your windows from breakage. Remember to board up sliding glass doors or storm doors as well. yy Make sure exterior doors are hurricane proof and have at least three hinges and a dead bolt lock that are at least one-inch long. yy Replace old garage doors and tracks with a door that is approved for both wind pressure and impact protection. yy Seal outside wall openings such as vents, outdoor electrical outlets, and locations where cables or pipes go through the wall. Use a high-quality caulk to prevent water penetration. yy Keep electronics and electrical cords away from water or areas that can flood.
Creative Living 53 Digest1.indd 4
yy Replace gravel or rock landscaping materials with shredded bark or mulch, which is lighter and won’t cause as much harm. yy Cut weak branches and remove dead trees that could fall on your house. Keep shrubbery trimmed as well. yy If you’re close to a river or stream, consider installing a flood wall or placing sandbags down near your property to keep flood waters from permeating your property. Finally, keep a battery powered radio, extra batteries, canned goods, and plenty of drinking water on hand as well. Also, remember to heed all warnings: stay way from windows and exterior doors, take shelter in a sturdy building, and establish an assembly point for family members to meet, if separated.

Chillin’ While you’re scaling back your workload for those summertime hours, your AC unit will be working overtime.
Make sure you follow some basic maintenance tips to ensure you’ll be chilling in your living room and not sticking to your leather couch. If you have a Central AC system, brave the heat for a minute. Clear the leaves and debris out of the base of the AC’s condenser. If it has a drain, make sure the drain is clear too. Clean the blower’s fan blades, tighten any loose mounting bolts, and, if the fan motor has oil ports, put a few drops of oil or spray WD-40 into the ports for lubrication. Finally, mop up any excess water inside the condenser and reassemble it. When it comes to window A/C units, all you need is 20 minutes at the beginning of the summer to keep it running smoothly. Unplug your unit and clean the filter. It’s likely gross and full of gunk from last summer. The filter is located right behind the front grill that blows air into your room. If it’s a paper filter, trash it and put in a new one. If its mesh, clean it with warm, soapy water and let it dry. If the folder is really moldy, soak it in a solution of bleach and water.
Creative Living 51 Digest.indd 5
Next, clean the evaporator coil and condenser coil with a soft-back vacuum brush. The evaporator coil is behind the filter and the condenser coil is behind the compressor. Finally, wipe down the outside of the unit and check the window seal for cracks or wear. If there is a gap, hit it with some foam weather stripping to ensure a proper seal. If you live in a particularly brutal area for summer heat and you tend to keep your window unit blowing all summer long, you’re probably going to have to clean it a few times before fall. It can be a pain, but it’ll keep you from dealing with a broken AC unit in the middle of July. If you’re able to afford it, contact your HVAC company to keep your AC unit well maintained. Or, do some research on getting a central air unit installed. Whatever situation is best for your home situation, make sure you’re chilling this summer, and not melting.

BENEFITS OF INSTALLING A TANKLESS WATER HEATER
You might think the old water heater in the garage is fine – after all, you’re able to take hot showers and those things are expensive to replace. But as is the case with most appliances and electronics, modern technology can create massive improvements. This goes for tankless water heaters. They take up less space, are leak-free and can save you money on your water bill.
Top benefits of taking the tankless plunge include: SAVING MONEY ON YOUR ENERGY BILL If you’re going to shell out money for a new water heater, you better be getting some back, right? Well, a tankless heater will save you from constantly heating and reheating water. With a conventional water heater, the hot water is stored inside the tank. In theory, this keeps a ready supply of hot water on hand for immediate use, but in fact the hot water just sits around when not being used. After some time, the heat will dissipate, and the water heater will need to reheat the water all over again. And guess where this waste of energy shows up? On your utility bill. NO LEAKAGE Leakage is one of the biggest problems with conventional water heaters. No matter the model, they will begin to leak eventually, as they are being constantly filled and drained of water every day for years. Because the tankless heater doesn’t store water, it won’t have any to leak.
YOU WON’T RUN OUT OF HOT WATER A tankless water heater doesn’t store hot water for later use. Instead, a tankless water heater only produces as much hot water as a person needs. In other words, when the hot water faucet is turned on, the tankless unit provides the exact amount of hot water dispensed until the faucet is turned off. You can leave the hot water faucet on for hours and the tankless water heater will continue providing hot water. So, you’ll never need to worry about running out during a shower or conserving so someone else in your home can take a hot shower after you. SMALLER FOOTPRINT One of the best things about a tankless water heater is how little space they take up. A tank water heater can take up an entire utility closet or feet of space in your garage. On the other hand, standard tankless water heaters are generally no larger than a computer tower.
When it comes time to replace your water heater, tankless ones are your best option. If you’re tired of running out of hot water, having higher bills and dealing with messes, contact your plumber to install one today.
