I get why the library is open during spring break but I do wish they would give us one (1) weekday off, all the same. During spring break we're on reduced hours during the week but reduced hours completely encompass my normal work hours. Sigh.

Home Maintenance Tips Homeowners Must Know

Keep catastrophic damages from significantly reducing your home’s value. Knowing how to maintain your home and what warning signs to watch for will protect your home’s value and potentially save your life.

newimageroofingatlanta.com gathered the following home maintenance tips to help homeowners maintain their homes in the best possible condition while preserving their value.

Essential Home Maintenance Tips

Some repairs are inevitable as a homeowner, keeping caught up on monthly and seasonal tasks around your home can prevent major damages and save you significant money over time. Consider the following home maintenance tips:

HVAC System Maintenance – Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are essential in maintaining indoor comfort. Consider the following HVAC requirements:

Change air filters every 1-3 months to ensure proper air quality and system efficiency.

Schedule annual professional HVAC inspections to clean, service, and optimize the system’s performance.

Note: A malfunctioning HVAC unit can emit foul odors, cause severe water damages, and cause a life-threatening house fire.

Roof and Gutters – Your roof shields your home from the elements. It is essential to keep it in good condition. Be observant of the following tips:

Inspect your roof for missing or damaged shingles.

Address any issues promptly to prevent leaks.

Clean gutters and downspouts regularly to prevent water buildup (causes water damage and mold growth).

Read this article to understand why roof ventilation is crucial to your roofing system’s performance and longevity.

Tip: Contact this professional residential roofer to help keep your roofing system in its best condition.

Plumbing Maintenance – Prevent plumbing mishaps and disasters by promptly addressing corrosion, pipe bursts, leaks and clogs. The following tips will help you prevent significant plumbing malfunctions:

Check faucets, toilets, and pipes for leaks regularly.

Learn the location of the main water shut-off valve to halt water flow in emergency situations.

Flush your water heater annually to prevent sediment buildup, maintaining its efficiency.

Protect external (outside) water lines from freezing weather.

Tip: Hire a professional plumber to thoroughly inspect your home’s plumbing system annually before freezing winter weather arrives.

Exterior Home Maintenance – Caring for your home’s exterior increases its curb appeal and protects it from the elements. Consider the following tips:

Refinish, repaint, or touch up siding and trim as needed to prevent weathering, rot, and decay.

Regularly inspect and clean decks, patios, and walkways to prevent decay, mold, mildew, and staining.

Maintain your trees pruned, mulched, and fertilized to keep them healthy and thriving.

Seasonally plant and refresh your garden with flowering plants and small shrubs.

Tip: Hire a local professional landscaper and tree service to keep your trees, garden, and lawn neat, trimmed, and healthy.

Window and Door Maintenance – Well-maintained windows and doors enhance energy efficiency and provide increased home security. Observe the following:

Inspect doors and windows for drafts, cracks, or broken seals.

Lubricate hinges and locks to ensure they function smoothly.

Install door, window, and motion detectors.

Read more about window care and treatments at energy.gov/energysaver/articles/spring-home-maintenance-windows-windows-windows

Tip: Select a smart security system that automatically sends alerts to your smartphone and law enforcement when an intruder is detected.

Electrical Safety – Maintaining your home’s electrical system is crucial for safety. Routinely inspect the following:

Test smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms monthly (annually replace batteries).

Check electrical outlets for loose panels, worn or frayed wiring, or signs of overheating.

Hire a professional electrician for periodic electrical system inspections.

Note: Signs of overheating include burn marks, sparks, warping, cracking, bubbling, and fixture malfunctions.

Pest Prevention – Regular pest inspections and prevention measures can save you from costly infestations and the illnesses they may bring into your home. Consider the following preventive measures:

Seal cracks and gaps around your home’s exterior to keep unwanted pests out.

Keep your living spaces clean and clutter-free, as pests are attracted to food residue, moisture, and clutter.

Tip: Hire a professional pest control service to inspect and treat your home after each winter season.

Appliance Maintenance – Home appliances provide daily conveniences (often overlooked), so it’s essential to keep them in working efficiently. Regularly clean refrigerator coils and clean lint filters in your dryer to prevent fire hazards.

Tip: Follow manufacturer guidelines and timelines for maintaining appliances, like your dishwasher, oven, and washing machine.

Seasonal Maintenance – Different seasons bring unique maintenance challenges. Observe the following seasonal maintenance tasks:

Fall – Clean gutters and remove fallen leaves to prevent clogs. Winterize your home by insulating pipes and sealing gaps to conserve energy.

Spring – Check for winter damage and prepare your home for the warmer months.

Tip: Schedule maintenance visits after severe weather, tree falls, and other disruptive or unexpected events.

Essential Factors For Choosing A Home Building Company

Selecting a home building company as your luxury custom home builder is very much like hiring an attorney or a financial adviser when designing and building a one-of-a-kind luxury home.

It is vital that you clearly understand what skills, expertise, and personal qualities you are actually looking for in your home building company. It is also relevant in your decision-making process to determine the delivery method and contracting relationship you are seeking to commission a custom builder.

Do you need your home building company to be intimately involved with the house design or are you limiting their pre-construction activities to bidding on a full set of detailed plans?

One of the first major decisions you must make do you want your luxury builder involved during the home designing phase or do you leave this task to an architect. Much of this decision depends on the confidence level you have in your architect’s ability to design to your construction budget.

Most architects do a wonderful job creating custom house plans. But when the architecture gets outside of a rectangular form or traditional imaging, the price of the building can rise far more than the initial construction budget. Read more…

Gaza Updates (1:30PM, EST, November 13, 2023)

Gaza's health ministry's director general, Ismail al-Thawabta confirmed that 11,240 Palestinian people have been killed. Al Jazeera added this as apart of his updates:

"Dead in Gaza include 4,630 children and 3,130 women." "Number of killed medical personnel now 189, including doctors, nurses and paramedics." "Ten people – “kids, babies, patients and wounded” – died at al-Shifa hospital due to operation rooms being shuttered as a result of a lack of fuel." "If fuel shortage continues it will cause a communications and internet blackout. Al-Thawabta said this is projected to happen on Thursday and will lead to “all the crimes of Israel” being “hidden from the world”, and turn the humanitarian crisis from “bad to worse”. "Fuel must be allowed into Gaza and the Rafah crossing with Egypt must be fully opened." "Israel and the international community – particularly the United States – are fully responsible for “crimes against civilians”. "The fighting has also destroyed 41,120 residential properties; 94 government headquarters; 71 mosques destroyed; and 253 schools have been damaged." "There has been $181m in direct agricultural losses, with 25 percent of agricultural farms destroyed." "4 governmental headquarters, 253 schools, 71 mosques and 3 churches destroyed in Israeli raids."

It has also been confirmed "all primary care for pregnant women has been lost"

"Dr Haya Hijazi, who works at al-Hilo Hospital in Gaza City, has confirmed: "there are no prenatal, neonatal or postpartum services catering to pregnant women, new mothers and newborns."

"UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, said that Gaza is home to 50,000 pregnant women."

It also said:

"70 percent of those killed and injured so far are women and children." "5,500 women are due to give birth in the coming month – more than 180 births per day." "Fuel, medicines, blood supply and other essentials for hospitals are running out." "Two truckloads of Inter-agency Reproductive Health Kits have arrived in Gaza containing individual clean delivery kits and supplies and equipment for emergency obstetric care, including anesthesia and supplies for cesarean sections." "Some 238 attacks against health care have been reported in the occupied Palestinian territories since the beginning of the hostilities, killing 517 people, according to WHO"

All of this information/everything I quoted can be found on Al Jazeera's live updates on their website -all credits to Al Jazeera journalists:

I need folks to continually keep understanding that everything happening right now in Gaza in NOT a war, it is a genocide. Israeli military and government is systematically destroying infrastructure for their Zionist agenda, and are massacring Palestinian people mercilessly and without remorse -nowhere is safe in Gaza, and reading these updates should continue to enrage you.

Keep posting, keep re-posting, keep researching and keep reading, stay informed, go to sit-ins and protests if this is accessible to you, and most importantly -keep fighting against Israeli and American propaganda.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

AGAVE APARTMENT - MAXIS-MATCH CC BUILD

I'm finally sharing an apartment! I chose to build in Oasis Springs and opted for the smallest lot available. There are three units in total, but I've only fully decorated one. I designed it with Johnny Zest in mind. Also, I really wanted to use these two new, coolest sets: Neighborly and Cheap&Chipped by @syboubou. I really loved all the items — especially the empty toilet paper roll; it's my new favorite! LOL.

Additionally, due to some glitches in my game following the For Rent patch, I've labeled this build as "Residential" to avoid any potential issues with saving files. If you encounter any problems, please don't hesitate to let me know! If you want to check out the construction progress, watch the YouTube video linked below.
