Now that Summer is winding to a close and the kids are all getting ready to go back to school, we\u2019re about to enter the \u201cPost-Vacation\u201d Zone\u2026and get to the business at hand of readying the house for the fall and winter. Be aware that\u00a0Hurricane Season is here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Fire Season<\/a>\u00a0has not ended.

[To paraphrase Tony Orlando and Dawn] check to make sure all of your pipes are well insulated, especially those exposed to the freezing temperatures. The foam-type with the slit\/slotted aperture is good; make sure to close the aperture with…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
