Spring cleaning

Spring has arrived and now is a good time to walk around the exterior of your home and inspect for any damages caused over the winter. If you need some minor repairs, I can be of help. Also, take the time to properly store your winter equipment, whether it be shovels, snowshoes, skiis, skates, snowmobiles or snow blowers. Regarding the latter, either empty the gas tanks and dispose of the contents properly or stabilize the fuel. Also, don't forget to fog the cylinders to prevent rust and corrosion. If you are storing a snowmobile, it is recommended that you unhook the drive belt from one of the pulleys to keep it from stretching in the warm temperatures of summer. Take the time to do it now and don't procrastinate or you will get caught up in summertime activities and forget the seasonal change-over.
