Grandma always said, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness".
As we enter warmer spring weather days, now is a good time to think about that. Cleaning up winters clutter can help keep us safe!
Winter was hard on our landscapes, broken tree limbs, leaves and pine needles on our roofs and in our gutters. Leaves and excessive left over yard growth from last year present a fire hazard.
While we are at it, those broken limbs in the trees that Grandma called "widow-makers" present unusual hazards. While they could fall on you, they can also take down the utilities to your home. If you can not safely remove, contact a professional.
Since we are outside, take a look around your foundation (or skirting if you are in a manufactured home). Are there holes or gaps where unwanted critters can get in? As the weather warms, they will be on the move.
Do you feed the dog or cat outside? Keep a watch for uninvited dinner guests. While you're at it, shake out the bedding in the dog house. Remember, if you wouldn't want it in bed with you, your furry companion probably doesn't either.
Be safe, and enjoy the weather!
