Can you believe it is November?  We can't.  Seems like yesterday we were reporting on mosquitoes!  In this issue, we continue to get you ready for the colder weather.

Don't forget that Daylight Saving Time is Sunday, November 6.  Turn your clocks back and enjoy an extra hour of sleep on us!   

Exterior Fall Cleanup

 

It's that time of year when we ask you to prepare your home for the colder weather.  As you know, Tenants are responsible for snow removal, and cleaning out gutters and downspouts.  We also offer some other reminders for you to get ready for winter.

  

  • Clean out gutters and downspouts - as the leaves fall, they can get stuck in gutters and downspouts.  Clogged gutters and downspout prevent proper drainage of rain away from the house.  It also can promote ice-damming and dangerous icicles in the winter.  Check this article about how to safely clean gutters and downspouts. 
  • Clear fallen leaves away from the basement window wells - If your house has basement window wells, be sure to clear fallen leaves from the wells to avoid water and ice buildup.  Here is some more information about clearing the window wells.
  • If you have an outdoor hose, bring it inside before the weather freezes so that it doesn't crack - here's how.
  • Bring outdoor furniture in or cover it up so that it will last longer.
  • When the snow falls (and it will) clear the snow with a shovel or sprinkle ice melt.
