Everyone hates winter. Especially me as I'm less likely to be taken out for walks!
Here are some ideas to help minimize risk and keep your home safe this winter.
1. Inspect and replace (as necessary) water-supply hoses to washing machines, toilets, and sinks.
2. Install a low-temperature alarm if you are away often to prevent pipe freezing.
3. Shut off the water supply when you go on vacation.
4. Install heat sensors in your kitchen and near your furnace.
5. Insulate unfinished rooms to prevent pipe freezing.
6. Ventilate the attic to prevent roof icing and to clear snow from the roof.
Of course, if you do things, Murphy's law might bring about Spring and I can go back to taking regular walks.
