A few things I have learned lately about maintaing a home:
Have a Cat? Change or clean your AC air filter twice as often. (Cat dander) I hope you are pouring a little bleach down the drain line of your AC unit. If your home is old enough that it drains outside (instead of into a drain line), then you can use a water-safe shop vac to vacuum the water and gunk from the drain side - usually located next to the outside AC unit. Make sure the water drains a few feet from the foundation while you are out there. Check your bathtub and shower grout. Most insurance companies do not cover grout failure. State Farm is one of the few with such coverage (see agent for details - don't take my word for it!) under the broadest coverage they offer. It will cost more. We found it worth the extra money. Brent Allen is a good State Farm agent, by the way. Speaking of grout, a cleaner called Grout Magic did a great job for one of my clients. I also recently met a grout cleaning company owner and would like to see how they do. For Manly Men who carry all the groceries at once, consider a lever-style front door handle. You can open it with your elbow. Avoids the shame of a second trip. Hope you have a great and blessed week! - John
