An open spot in my calendar meant time to work for us a little. Spring cleaning and power washing the patio furniture, ceiling, walls, and concrete!

PSA- Tip of the week: PRE-RUN THEM IF YOU’VE GOT EM’!! Severe winter weather is in the forecast. Why risk it? Fill your gas cans and pre-run your generators. Don’t wait till it is 8 degrees and you need it!! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!!

Now that the gas logs and fireplace are ready and the smoke alarms all have new batteries, have you pre-run your generators if you have them? Winter is just around the corner, and you can't rule out fall storms like we had last year in November. It's a good time to check them out now before you might need them. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Routine maintenance preparation for winter...Blessings!

Quote of the day from Colin Powell, which is the way we work:

"Always do your very best. Even when no one else is looking, you always are. Don't disappoint yourself."

It's fall, ya'll! It's time to clean that fireplace, check those gas logs, check the flue, check the chimney cap, and test them all out before you need them. It's also time to change those batteries in those smoke detectors and CO2 detectors, and don't forget those thermostat batteries too...and then TEST all of the above! Are your fire extinguishers charged and functionable? If you are one of my customers on a subscription, these have already been done and you can rest peacefully that they are functioning and working! If you do your own home maintenance, it's time to get busy! Blessings to all!

Late summer tip:
When's the last time you checked the air flow on your outside A/C unit? Grass from mowing the yard, dust, general dirt and debris gets sucked in through the summer as the outside units run trying to keep up with the cooling needs of the house. After checking several of my customers units, they needed cleaning again this month, just after a couple of months of heavy use since they were cleaned last. Keep the screens and coils clean so that they can work to their upmost efficiency. This saves you $$$, saves energy, prolongs the life of your unit, and helps keep you cooler! This is one of the "keys to upkeep" for your house and property if you do your own maintenance. Blessings!

"Keystoupkeep is a godsend for my father's home. Stuart keeps it fresh, fixed and stress free. He will be there forever! Dad tells folks "I have a guy".

He also helped with the strain of a new move in. Great reference source on who and where to turn for other issues in the home. So perfect for those of us who have no skills in home fix UPs, and chore do UPs. KeystoUPkeep is the go-to UP.

Late month tip - did you miss any wasp nests? Recently a friend stopped by and looked up at the light fixture on our front porch after she saw a wasp fly by. On the back of the fixture was a large yellow jacket nest that I missed on an earlier check. It's a good time to double back and check again for wasp nests. If you missed any earlier this spring, they will be easy to spot now if you look up!
