Water Heater Maintenance

When it comes to the water heater, the maintenance is straightforward.  Water heater blanket is sold to protect and to insulate it. In addition to the extra insulation, the water heater should be drained and flushed according to the manufacturer’s directions. Flushing the water heater will prevent accumulation of debris in the system.

Granite Surface Maintenance

Granite surface isn’t too complicated to maintain clean.

  • Use a non-abrasive cleaner or mild detergent
  • Wipe it with clean cotton rag
  • Use denatured alcohol or distilled vinegar mixed with water. With a spray bottle wet the granite surface with the mix and wipe it to clear any buildup.
  • If the granite counter has been sealed initially with special sealer, keep using the sealer every year to keep up with maintenance. Granite sealers are available at any hardware storetexture-2903502_1280.

Aluminum window and door frame

Aluminum windows and door frames need routine maintenance to be efficient. Always clean the tracks from dirt and other debris. The best way to clean the areas is to use a vacuum and wipe the surface with a soft rag. At the bottom of the windows and door frames are weep holes to drain moisture during heavy rain. Keep them clean at all times to let air circulate.

Christmas with candles

This year I want to light more candles for Christmas. Scentsy fragrances have invaded our market for years, but I long for the good old fashion dim light that only candles can create.
Hobby Lobby has a small inventory of candles compared to years ago, prices where also a bit high but it doesn’t matter because this Christmas will be more romantic with candles.Candles

Decorating your home on budget

IMG_0870
Create decorative accents with the material you already have, such as old colored bottles, chipped terracotta vases stained with acrylic paint, have your old children paintings and drawings framed at your craft store, and so on. Once I’ve seen a drum head used as a night desk in one of my client’s guest room, and it looked fantastic! Use your imagination, not your wallet.
