I Hope You're Keeping Dry! 

After years of a drought we're finally receiving the rain we've needed. All the plants and trees are really green and lawns & weeds are growing so quickly that it's hard to keep up with them. Thankfully we haven't had the flooding that many other areas of Florida have experienced.

This is a good time to take a visual tour of your home to make sure the roof, windows and doors are not leaking. Change out the weather stripping around the doors if it is old. Check the window caulk and replace if it's showing signs of drying out or shrinking. If you see loose or curled shingles on the roof, call a roofing professional to check it out for you. Better to take care of maintenance problems while they're small.

With all the rain also comes standing water and mosquitos. Be sure to empty vessels that may hold water and if possible turn them upside down so they're not breeding places for mosquitos.

Not only has it been wet, but it's been unbearably hot. I can't remember the last time that the heat indexes have hit the 100 degree mark as often as it has this Summer. Take care to keep hydrated and be thankful for our air conditioned homes and businesses.

Thanks for all your support!
