Home Maintenance Tips
FALL HOME MAINTENANCE TIP! (www.bobvila.com)
Clean the Gutters
After leaves have fallen, clean out the gutters and downspouts, flush them with water, inspect joints, and tighten
brackets if necessary. Clogged gutters are one of the major causes of ice dams. Replace old or damaged gutters
with new ones that have built-in leaf guards.
HALLOWEEN SAVING TIP (www.moneycrashers.com)
• Buy your pumpkins the day before Halloween. You won’t get as good of a selection, but they’ll be half-priced,
and you can buy more than one for decoration. Also, you won’t need to worry about rotting.
HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS (www.safekids.org)
Keep Costumes Both Creative and Safe
• Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colors.
• Choose face paint and makeup whenever possible instead of masks, which can obstruct a child’s vision.
• Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by drivers.
• When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls.
See more at: http://www.safekids.org/tip/halloween-safety-tips#sthash.45MI9o32.dpuf
HEALTHY HALLOWEEN TIP! (www.active.com)
Procrastinate
Purchase Halloween candy the day of trick or treat to avoid temptation. Buy less than what you think you
will need to avoid leftovers and purchase candies that you do not like, if you still have leftovers place
them out of sight. If you really have a hard time with temptation choose to pass out non-candy treats such
as bouncy balls, spider rings, pencils, erasers, bubbles or stickers.
Benefits of Homeownership –
The impact of adequate housing
• Adequate shelter is a critical founda-tion
for breaking the cycle of poverty.
• Adequate housing is vitally important
to the health of the world’s economies, commu-nities
and populations.
• Homeownership is a form of wealth accumula-tion
through equity and forced savings from
mortgage repayment.
• Good housing attracts economic investment
and development.
• Decent shelter contributes to thriving school
systems, community organizations and civic
activism.
• Safe homes and neighborhoods help to build
social stability and security

beautiful as the final haul

Use Salt to Clean Your Iron
Salt? Yep! Pour salt on your ironing board
(Perhaps cover with a pillow case or something to
make clean up easier), and then iron the salt with
the steam option off. The dirt on your iron will stick
