Alright Neighbors,
Looks like Texas is about to remind us we don’t handle cold very often, so here are a few easy tips from Abel’s Handyman Services to protect your home and keep things running smooth during this freeze. ❄️
🏠 A little prep beats a big repair
• Let faucets drip (especially on outside walls)
• Open cabinets under sinks so warm air can circulate
• Wrap outdoor faucets and any exposed pipes
• Disconnect and drain garden hoses
•‼️Locate any and all water shutoffs just incase‼️(unless you wouldn’t mind the new ice rink)
🔥 Keep the house cozy
• Set your thermostat no lower than 55°
• Close gaps and drafts around doors and windows
• Use space heaters safely and never leave them unattended
🐾 Round up the critters & plants
• Bring pets inside where it’s warm
• Cover plants or bring them in if you can
• Check on elderly neighbors or anyone who might need a hand
🔦 Just in case the lights go out
• Charge phones and battery packs
• Keep flashlights, blankets, and layers ready
• No grills or generators indoors —
‼️safety first‼️
If you need help winterizing your home before the freeze or fixing things after it passes, Abel’s Handyman Services is happy to help. We’re neighbors first, and Texans always look out for each other 🤍❄️
Stay warm, stay safe, and take care of one another.
