Frozen to the core

Sometimes it looks like winter is all around you.  With these cold temperatures we have been having, it certainly feels like that, too.  Here's a handy tip for these cold nights.  No one wants to wake up to frozen pipes. So for those areas that include plumbing in your house, that are near or on an outside wall, leave the cabinet door ajar a small bit, and when it's truly bone chilling cold outside, it's not a bad idea to let the faucet drip a little over night.  Better to run a little water, than to try and un-freeze frozen solid pipes.  This works in either kitchens, or baths, or anywhere your have plumbing.

Wind Chill Advisory... It's cold outside

Just got the notification that we are headed into another few days of blustery, bone chilling cold.  Well it is winter in Michigan so we shouldn't be surprised.  It's times like this that make us appreciate the quality of the work we have had done on our homes over time.  Good quality work will keep out the cold, and maybe even save you on your energy bills.  It's just a thought.  Stay warm.
