Cut down on the cold air and drafts around the home using these three tips. As always, remember to use the right caulk for the right job!

1. Unplug a Used Tube of Caulk
Take the tube and cut off the nozzle end so that the hole is slightly larger than the first cut that is clogged. Next, drive a screw into the nozzle end of the hardened caulk and use the screw to pull the hardened caulk out of the nozzle. A screw with course threads, such as drywall or deck screws, will work the best.
The larger hole may produce a larger-than-desired bead of caulk, so be sure to employ other methods of protecting surrounding areas.

2. Use Masking Tape for a Neat and Even Application
Here is a trick to keeping that caulking bead looking straight and clean. Use masking tape around the seam you are caulking, keeping the two pieces of tape at a distance the size of the desired bead. Lay down your bead of caulk. Use your finger to tool the caulk by pushing the excess onto the tape. After tooling, remove the masking tape, and you'll find a nice-looking, straight, clean, smooth bead of tooled caulk.

3. Smooth Caulk with a Paint Stick
After you lay your bead of caulk, determine the width you want and mask it off with masking tape. Next, take a paint stir stick and clip off the corners to fit the desired width between the two pieces of masking tape. Smooth out the bead of caulk with the stick.
Tip: You can also use a clean popsicle stick too.

1. Shovel snow away from your home’s foundation.
Why: The key to avoiding foundation deterioration and expensive repairs is to prevent water from pooling around the base of your house. If maintaining a snow-free moat isn’t possible, consider focusing your efforts on areas more prone to water damage, such as basement windows and concrete steps.
How: Grab your shovel and start digging-but mind you don’t over-exert and be sure to hydrate.

2. Remove ice dams on low-pitched roofs and gutters.
Why: Come spring those dams will melt and can lead to damaged roof shingles and water seeping into your foundation.
How: Do preventive maintenance early in the season by installing de-icing cables. If needed, use a shovel or scraper to clear accumulated snow and chip away at ice.

3. Remove snow and ice from external vents.
Why: Blocked vents can cause damage to your roof, but the real danger is to your heating and cooling systems. Extra pressure on these set-ups can lead to moisture problems-and possibly mould or rot in a home’s wooden structure.

4. Replace furnace filters.
Why: The business of air filters is to collect debris and allergens, so be sure to replace them every three months to keep your furnace running effectively (and your home toasty!).
How: If in doubt, consult your manual, and be sure to note whether you’re working with a disposable or non-disposable filter (the latter can be washed with non-toxic soap and tap water).

5. Winterize yard furniture and equipment.
Why: A good patio set can set you back $500 or more, and a decent gas lawn mower can cost $300, so extending their life spans saves you money.
How: Wipe down the furniture and, if possible, stack and store it in either a shed or garage. If items must stay outside, cover them with tarps. Your garden equipment should also be stored away from the elements, but before you do that, make sure to drain any oil, which will get sludgy over the winter. Store the liquid in a leak-proof container and take it to your local hazardous-waste facility.
