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.

N I F O O R R U O Y P E E K L L A E P A H S IT P-TOP LONG R E M M SU Summer is here, and with it comes kids home from school, vacations, and tons of DIY projects around the house. Chances are, you have your hands full trying to decide what project to tackle while the season is right for it. While summer is great for cleaning, painting and planting, don’t forget about that thing above your head that gives you shelter and takes the worst the weather has to offer: your roof. The roof is one of the most important parts of your home, and it’s important that it remains functional. The summer sun and heat can also put your roof through the wringer, so it’s important that you get professionals to check it out and make any repairs if necessary.
The first thing you need to do is call your local, trusted roofing company and have them perform an inspection. Regular roofing inspections are important for spotting some of the smaller issues you can’t see with your naked eye from the ground. Small things get worse over time, and the summer heat can make them even worse. And since the summer also brings more thunderstorms, make sure your roof can handle a battering of rain without sustaining any leads. Make sure you fix any issues as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more time you allow bugs or pests to get into your home or for inclement weather to worsen any leaks or holes. And speaking of storms, give your gut-
Creative Living 52 Digest.indd 8
ters some TLC as well. They are integral to channeling rainwater off the roof and away from the foundation of your home. Water sitting around your foundation can attract unwanted pests, like mosquitos and termite. So, break out the ladder, or have professionals come to clean the gutters and repair any damage. Also have them inspect the downspout, making sure it works properly and guides water far away from your house. By reaching out to your roofer for a routine pre-summer inspection, your roof will live up to its biggest challenge – a summer’s worth of heat, sunlight and storms.

The Ultimate Lawn Care Debate: DIY, or Hire a Service?
Investing the time into proper yard care and maintenance every week can be tough to do. Like almost anything involving home maintenance, there are pros and cons to doing lawn care yourself. Understanding what’s involved in proper lawn care is the first step to determining which choice is right for you.
Spend time outdoors. If you want built-in outdoor time every week to catch up on your favorite podcasts or soak in that vitamin D. Compliance. If you have a homeowner’s association, you’ll probably have to perform regular maintenance to meet their lawn regulations. Hiring a lawn service will make sure your stay out of the HOA doghouse. Get in a workout. If you enjoy working up a sweat whenever you can, lawn care provides an extra dose of exercise. Weekly or bi-weekly mowing burns some extra calories. And if you have kids, make them earn their keep by getting them to rake those dead leaves out of the yard, or bag up the weeds you pulled out of the flower beds.
Creative Living 51 Digest.indd 8
Equipment upkeep. Mowers, trimmers, edgers, weed whackers – it takes a lot of equipment to maintain a yard. And that equipment can require a lot of maintenance, like changing oil, filling up gas tanks, replacing trimming line, not to mention, the cost that uptake requires. Convenience is worth the cost. How much money is your time worth? In St. Louis, the average price of a lawn-care service is $39 – not too bad for saving yourself hours of work. At the end of the day, the choice between DIY lawn care and hiring a service is your choice to make. But make that choice easier by contacting your local landscaping and lawn care company for an estimate – you might be surprised by just how affordable it is.

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.
