The Clocks Fall Back November 6th

Just a reminder that on Sunday, November 6th, Daylight Savings Time ends.  Don't forget to roll back that clock an hour on Saturday night or Sunday morning.  I also like to use the time change to perform some basic home maintenance tasks.
Perhaps this list will help you as well:
  • Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors:  Test batteries and replace.
  • Interior Caulking:  Inspect caulking around tubs, showers, and sinks
  • HVAC:  Change filters, if required.
  • Toilet:  Check for leaks and water run-on.
  • Dryer:  Vacuum lint from ducts 
  • Washer:  Clean water inlet filters and check hoses
A little regular maintenance can save thousands down the road when you decide to list your home.
