Winterizing you home reminds me of squirrels getting ready for the winter.

They spend all fall running around and gathering nuts and burying them in random places ...... at least that is the way I see it, they may have a list or map in their nest where they can refer to later .... eeh !

On a serious note, we should make a list of the things to do and prioritize them doing the first things outside while the weather is good and then to work on items inside at a later date. On a limited budget, you may want to give priority as a cost effective solution ....... in other words, get the best bang for your buck - term used in purchasing fire-crackers .... eeh !

Reasons for winterizing, as we normally think of this to do with getting our cottage or boat ready for winter, it also applies to our principle residence.

                          1 - Energy prices are on the rise, as a result heating                                           and electrical cost will consume an increasingly                                                   larger portion of one' household budget. That is why                                           it is important to check your home to insure that                                                   your engery-dollars are not being wasted.

                                   2 - Costs for un-necessary repairs; there maybe                                                  items over-looked that may cause damage during                                              the winter to your home' structure and/or to the                                                      systems within your home.

As I mentioned before, we are going to make a list of the items to work on outside first and then a list of the items you can do inside. For an easier way of printing these lists, I am going to put them on separate pages.
